Combat Maid Harem

628 Lawrend's Choice



“Master, have a good time inside. Fufufufu.”

Aezel swiftly walked away and left him alone.

“I’m not into her,” Lawrend said.

He didn’t need to say it to her, but he felt like he had to say it for the sake of it.

Aezel turned around and winked at him before disappearing around a corner.

“*Sigh*”

Lawrend shook his head and faced the door.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

He heard light footsteps from inside and the door slowly opened.

“Who is– !!!”

Julianne was wearing a see-through cardigan with only a bra underneath. She swiftly covered her breasts after realizing that it was him.

*Bam*

She closed the door shut on him.

Lawrend innocently blinked his eyes repeatedly as he stood there in shock. It was the first time he had seen her wearing something so alluring.

Shortly after, the door slowly opened, and Julianne peeked her head out of it.

“Emperor..? You’re done meditating magic?” she asked.

“Yes. I want to discuss with you about the things that happened while I was gone,” Lawrend replied and pretended as if he saw nothing.

“Ah! Yes! Sorry, I was so used to relaxing because only your maids would disturb me,” Julianne said with a blushing face.

Unlike her Auntie appearance, she acted like a teenage girl.

“I wanted to discuss it inside your room, but it seems like it’s not a good time. I will wait for you at the Throne Room,” Lawrend said and turned around.

He didn’t want to deal with her. He didn’t want to be seduced especially since it had been a month since he last released his lust.

But just before he could take a step away, he felt a hand grab his arm. “Wait! Emperor, you can come inside!” Julianne shouted in panic.

“Are you sure?” Lawrend asked and subtly glanced at her bra.

“Yes. I’m ready.”

“What?”

“N-Nothing.”

Lawrend squinted his eyes and knew she was talking about something else. He relaxed and turned back. She opened the door widely, and he entered.

The room was pretty lavish and properly maintained. If you imagined a room of a princess, it would be her room.

“How was your stay here?” Lawrend asked.

He sat on her bed and looked at her.

Julianne nervously sat beside him.

“It’s splendid, Emperor. Miss Humility was quite good at managing the Empire. She helped support the families of the dead citizens. Even though many worship you, there were still a lot that hated you.

“But thanks to her wonderful policies, everything went well. I only had to show up a few times to intimidate the rebel leaders,” Julianne explained.

“Wait, what did you say?” Lawrend asked as he suddenly realized something was wrong with her words.

“Yes, Emperor. Some previously influential nobles gathered followers and planned to stage a coup one day.”

“Not that. Before that.”

“They are worshiping you?” Julianne answered with confusion.

“Yes, that! Why are they still not stopping?” Lawrend asked in disbelief.

Lawrend didn’t like the idea of having worshippers. He initially thought that it was a temporary thing that would fade quickly.

“Here. These are the stories spread about you.” Julianne grabbed a booklet from under her bed and passed it to him.

Lawrend flipped through its pages and read the whole thing. After ten minutes of silence, he looked up at her.

The book told a story about him coming to save the Blumin Empire and leading them to a prosperous era of wealth and magical advancement. It painted over the story of how he murdered hundreds of thousands of people.

“I’ve never done any of that!” Lawrend exclaimed in shock.

“I can’t prove it, but I think Miss Humility had a hand in that,” Julianne replied.

“…”

It suddenly made sense to Lawrend. It made sense to him because only she could think of something like that.

“Is it really her?” Julianne asked after noticing the realization on his face.

“Well…”

Lawrend remembered each of his maids. He couldn’t help but realize that it could be any of them at this point.

“If you don’t want to tell me, it’s fine.”

Julianne had learned a lot about Lawrend throughout this past month. She befriended most of his maids and found that he was really like as she imagined. It also made her feel a sense of respect and awe toward him.

It was an effect of listening to their words of praise towards him. It subconsciously made her want to praise him too. It was also compounded by the respect she had already developed for him after he defeated the Blumin Emperor.

“I will ask them about it later. Don’t worry.”

“You don’t need to,” Julianne said and waved her hand. She felt nervous making him do something because of her.

“I’m curious why they did it. That’s all,” Lawrend replied.

“I-I see. Do you have any more questions?” Julianne asked.

She was reminded that they were alone in the room. She couldn’t help but look away from his eyes with embarrassment. She knew she liked him, but she found it hard to be bold after what he told her before.

“That’s all,” Lawrend said and stood up.

Julianne slightly trembled and looked up at him with shock, sadness, and disappointment.

Lawrend looked away from her eyes and walked towards the door.

“My heart has already settled,” Lawrend said and left the room.

“No…”

Julianne’s pained and whisper-like voice was the only thing Lawrend heard as he closed the door.

Lawrend never looked back and went in the direction where Aezel left off.

“Oh, Master. You’re back quick?” Aezel asked.

She was there waiting for him after he turned the corner.

“I’m not that fickle,” Lawrend said and smirked at her.

“Fufufufu… I wonder what that means?” Aezel chuckled and covered her mouth daintily.

“It means, you need to be punished!”

Lawrend grabbed her wrists and pushed her against the wall.

“Ah! Don’t do it, Master…” Aezel playfully pleaded.

She sounded wronged, but she didn’t resist him. She even flatly pushed herself against the wall.
