Lawrend peeked outside the door.
âAezel, call Aleshia over,â Lawrend said.
âYes, Master.â Aezel bowed to him respectfully.
Aleshia arrived a few minutes later. She and Ember stared at each other awkwardly.
âMaster, what do you want me to do?â Aleshia asked.
âSheâs one of you now. I hope each of you can take care of each other. For now, take her measurements and have someone make her maid uniform,â Lawrend ordered.
âHehe. What changed your mind?â Aleshia asked.
A measuring tape appeared in her hand, and she started getting Emberâs measurements while talking to her.
Ember looked at Lawrend. He nodded his head at her and urged her on.
âMaster is so⦠cool,â Ember whispered with a red face.
âI see. Just so you know, I will be the first wife,â Aleshia suddenly said.
Emberâs eyes turned round, and she stared at Lawrend in confusion.
âI will marry all of my maids in the future if they want to,â Lawrend explained to her with a smile.
âO-Ohâ¦â
Ember furrowed her eyebrows and felt a sense of loss. Her Ancestor betrothed her to Lawrend. Now that she felt interested and liked him, she found it hard to accept that she wasnât the First Wife.
âThey may be my maids, but they are more like my wives at this point,â Lawrend said.
âSo thatâs why you made babies with them,â Ember said with a bashful appearance.
âAbout that⦠We did it too much,â Lawrend answered wryly.
His children were too big of a burden. He couldâve attacked the Blumin Empire right now if they didnât exist.
Alas, their love was too much. He would still agree to impregnate them even if he had the chance to repeat everything. He wanted to see them happy more than anything else.
â!!â
Emberâs face turned red as she realized what he meant. He just asked her about doing âitâ, so it was still fresh in her mind.
âAhn!â
âOops.â
Aleshia âaccidentallyâ touched Emberâs nipples. She smiled at her and looked away. Ember glared at her, but she couldnât do anything about it.
Lawrend simply smiled at the two of them. As long as they donât fight against each other, everything could be mended over time.
Aleshia finished after taking all the measurements she needed. She bowed to Lawrend before leaving.
âAezel, close the door and guard it. I will be busy,â Lawrend said.
âYes, Master,â Aezel responded.
She glanced at Ember and closed the door.
âCan you tell me everything you know about the Ignis Clan?â Lawrend asked.
âYes. Ask anything,â Ember replied.
And so, Lawrend asked her a bunch of questions. Most of them related to the clan, and some were about herself. He got a more clear idea of what was happening in the clan.
âI see. So youâre my fiancee,â Lawrend muttered.
âHmph.â Ember cutely snorted.
âYou can go now. If you have any problems, you can knock on the door,â Lawrend said.
Ember looked at him and wanted to say something but refrained from doing so. She turned around and left.
âA phoenix spell, huhâ¦â Lawrend muttered.
He sat on the throne once again. This time, he replayed the scene of Ember reviving herself from the ashes in his mind. It was more supreme than healing magic. He used his magic eyes to see through the spell earlier.
It will take him some time to understand how it works.
He became more curious about his bloodline. It was capable of changing Aezelâs bloodline level from an Arch Mage to the Grand Mage level. It must mean that his bloodline was very amazing.
He focused on fusing his fire and lightning magic again. There were only a few days left before he needed to mobilize his army to attack the Blumin Empire.
â¦
A tremendous army formation stood outside the royal castle. Their auras didnât meld with each other, and it was somewhat chaotic. That was quite understandable because these were new recruits.
Most of these mages had some form of combat experience fighting against the monsters in the Undrasil Monster Forest. They volunteered for Lawrendâs cause and the Undrasil Kingdomâs future.
âLightning Mages, stand forward!â Verkoli ordered.
A fourth of the mages stood forward. They were all Lightning Mages and fans of Lawrend.
âHigh Mages, stand back!â
The weak High Mages went behind, and only ten people were left at the front.
âEach of you will be Battalion Leader for a total of 10 Battalions! The others, make a formation behind them equally!â
The mages behind them looked at each other and formed a battalion chaotically. Verkoli frowned at such a scene, but it was better than nothing. They could be trained.
â¦
At the same time, Ember and Aleshia talked about personal things. It was hard for Ember to chat with her, but she soon found that Aleshia was not as bad as she thought. However, they were still awkward due to what happened in the throne room.
She led Ember to Elenaâs room, where the others took care of their babies. They immediately glared at Ember angrily.
âEveryone, I present you our newest member, Sister Ember Ignis,â Aleshia announced with a slight smile on her face.
âThis is Masterâs idea?â Humility asked.
âYes. Tell them about, Master,â Aleshia told Ember.
Emberâs eyes glowed with excitement, and she opened her mouth.
âMaster is so cool. H-He makes my heart beat crazily. He is also talented and powerful. I regret not showing him a better impression of me,â Ember said with love.
The others became silent after seeing her lovestruck expression.
âAs expected of Master,â Elena said.
The others smiled and understood that she was sincere.
âWelcome, Sister Ember. Letâs talk about you,â Humility said.
And so, the maids asked Ember a bunch of questions, and they got to know each other.
â¦
A few days later, the time has finally arrived for the Undrasil Kingdom to attack the Blumin Empire.
The throne roomâs door opened.
âYour Highness, the Trunden Empireâs envoys, have arrived. They are a team of three Earth Mages with some servants,â Verkoli said.
