Combat Maid Harem

“What?! Really??” Lawrend exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

He widened his eyes at Aleshia, and she nodded her head to tell him that she was sure. He looked at Ella, and she did the same.

“Ella, how did you even see the symbol? You were unconscious back then,” Lawrend asked.

“Big Sister showed it to me when I woke up. We believed that it’s related to where we came from,” Ella replied.

“She’s right, Master,” Aleshia agreed.

“This is unbelievable,” Lawrend said.

He looked at the others, and they were all confused. He quickly explained to them how he found this symbol.

If you don’t remember, this symbol appeared on Ella’s forehead when Lawrend cured her curse using a potion Healer Natasha gave them. A fragment of a forgotten memory appeared shortly after.

It was a voice recording about a panicked voice. They seemed to be running away from something.

“So are you saying that the two of them might be from the Runic State?” Humility asked in amazement.

“We can’t tell for sure, but it’s a great possibility,” Lawrend replied.

Aleshia and Ella nodded their heads at his words. The two of them were hopeful that they would be able to solve the mystery of their past by going to the Runic State.

“I heard that the Runic Heaven Mage is looking for ways to use space magic. I doubt that she will let Ella and I go once she learns that we can both use that magic,” Lawrend explained.

This was his greatest concern at the moment. The Runic Heaven Mage was someone beyond his capabilities. If she was somehow hostile to them, then he would not be able to stop her from doing any absurd experiments on Ella.

“But Master, this is a great chance to find our parents,” Aleshia said with hopeful eyes.

She was an orphan, and she hated the fact that their parents abandoned them, but that changed. After giving birth, Aleshia learned to appreciate parents more, which in turn made her curious about her parents.

Now that Aleshia and Ella knew that they could be from a powerful state from the Altro Continent, there was a chance that their parents didn’t actually abandon them.

Aleshia knew firsthand that a mother would not simply abandon their child. There must be a reason, and she wanted to find that out.

“I know you are curious, but I won’t permit it. We’re not going to the Runic State. I don’t know how far it is from the Pillar State, but states in this continent are very big. It will take months to travel. It also wouldn’t be easy to escape if they turned out to be enemies.

“Besides, haven’t you forgotten the voices we heard? It sounded like they were running away from something. It’s best that we become cautious.”

Lawrend’s words snuffed out Aleshia and Ella’s hopes. They lowered their heads and became sad.

Aleshia rubbed Zio’s head in her arms to cope with the sadness. She was hoping Zio would meet his grandparents.

“Yes, Master…” Aleshia replied weakly.

Lawrend frowned and rubbed Aleshia’s head.

“Don’t be sad. We have time. It’s best to take things slow,” Lawrend said to console her.

“I understand, Master. I just feel… disappointed. Not because of you, but at the fact that I won’t meet them sooner,” Aleshia replied in a whisper.

“Look at me,” Lawrend said.

Aleshia raised her head and stared at him. Her eyes were misty, and it reflected the sadness in her heart.

“I’m being cautious to protect you and Ella. After I become capable of defending myself against a Heaven Mage, I promise you that we will go to the Runic State and investigate both of your pasts,” Lawrend said.

“Thank you, Master.”

A smile formed on Aleshia and Ella’s faces. Unlike Aleshia, Ella looked excited.

“Master, I can’t wait for the day when you become as strong as a Heaven Mage,” Ella said.

“Hahahaha! One day, I will also stand at the top of this world. At that time, I will not worry about protecting either of you,” Lawrend replied happily.

“Fufufufu. And we will all stand beside you, Master,” Aezel said.

Aleshia, Ella, Elena, Aezel, Humility, Grape, Amene, Valentina, Ramiela, and Nao looked at Lawrend with eyes full of trust. The same goes for his babies. For some unknown reason, they all looked at him with curious eyes.

They all trusted him, and they waited for the day that he would become invincible.

“I will do my best,” Lawrend said confidently.

…

After talking with them, Lawrend had Humility give him access to his own room.

He entered inside and sat on the bed. He grabbed the crystal ball from his storage ring and observed it in detail.

He used his elemental eyes and scanned it. He saw lines and lines and lines carved in the inside of the crystal ball. They all formed a complex magic circle inside.

Sadly, he wasn’t expert enough to understand them because he only got a try at potion-making, and he could never study the other subjects of magic.

“It’s too complex,” Lawrend muttered out loud.

He shook his head in disappointment and hid the crystal ball.

“Master, can I try entering the crystal ball?” Valentina suddenly said.

She appeared in front of him, sitting on the bed.

“Are you sure it’s safe for you?” Lawrend asked.

“If before, then I wouldn’t be confident, but I’m already an Arch Mage in my soul. It’s much more stronger than before. I can take any attack this magic artifact may use. Frankly, I doubt the creator of this magic artifact would imagine that a soul would enter inside it,” Valentina replied.

“…Alright. You have convinced me.”

Lawrend nodded his head and placed the crystal ball on the bed. He decided to trust her. She was more knowledgeable than him when it came to magic.

Valentina touched the crystal ball, and she slowly turned into a white fog that flowed into it. Lawrend watched, slightly nervous, as he wasn’t entirely sure of her safety.
