Lawrend left Elenaâs room and entered Aleshiaâs.
He saw Ember holding Zio in her arms. Aleshia was in front of her, and the two of them were smiling.
âAh! Master, youâre here,â Aleshia called out with a smile.
âItâs good that the two of you are friends now,â Lawrend said.
He approached them with a smile. He was happy that the two of them were like this. It wouldnât be hard for Ember to assimilate because of this.
âHmph. I asked Sister Aleshia about torture techniques. I canât wait to try them on you when you lose to me in the future,â Ember said and raised her chin proudly.
âDid you really?â Lawrend asked Aleshia.
âItâs just her wishful thinking, Master. I know you wonât lose,â Aleshia replied.
She had absolute trust in him. His strength and talents were not something Ember could compare to. She knew firsthand what kind of a mage he was.
He would rather suffer pain than not improve his strength. His decision to drain his mana was still fresh in her mind. She was scared out of her wits because of it.
Now that she thought about it, that kind of quality was something that attracted her to him. She mused at the fact that he was kind of a coward when they first met. His change was so dramatic that she wouldnât be able to imagine it in the past.
âTch. Sister Aleshia, how can you lower my morale? All of you believe that I will lose to Lawr- I mean, Master,â Ember said with a frown.
âHehe. If you can defeat Master, I will give you my spot for three months!â Aleshia replied confidently.
âSpot?â
Ember looked at her in confusion.
âHehe. You will know,â Aleshia replied and didnât say anything further.
âLet me hold Zio,â Lawrend said as he sat beside Ember.
Ember gave Zio to him, and he cradled him in his arms.
âHow is Zio?â Lawrend asked Ember.
âVery cute. I can also feel his powerful Ignis bloodline. Itâs not comparable to yours, but itâs still powerful,â Ember replied.
âYou wonât kidnap him again, right?â Lawrend asked and gazed at her.
Emberâs body froze as fear crept inside her body. She was reminded of what he did to her back in the throne room.
âM-Master⦠Actuallyâ¦â
Emberâs eyes darted everywhere. She was having trouble speaking what was on her mind.
âSpeak. What is it?â Lawrend asked.
His voice had a powerful authority in it. Ember couldnât control herself.
âI-I also want a child, but, but! Only after we marry,â Ember said with a red face.
âI wonât give you one,â Lawrend replied candidly.
âH-Huh?â
Ember widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief. Aleshia was taken aback by his answer.
âHmph. Since thatâs the case, I will not allow you to âdoâ it with me,â Ember said and crossed her arms.
She was disappointed at his answer. She saw Lawrendâs cute babies, and she wanted one too. They were like little bundles of joy. She canât be arrogant in front of them, or she would only look like an idiot.
âWhy donât you want to impregnate her, Master? Is it because sheâs a relative?â Aleshia asked.
âNot that. I just donât want any new children. They are starting to hold me back. I want to be untethered and free on my path to the peak of magic,â Lawrend replied.
âHmph. Excuses,â Ember harrumphed.
âWell, if our love for each other becomes much more firm, then I will reconsider it,â Lawrend said.
Ember peeked at him and pretended to ignore him. She was too proud to take back her own words.
âThat has always been the case, isnât it?â Aleshia asked and giggled to herself.
âIt was.â Lawrend nodded his head.
It was just like yesterday. He could still remember the passion he felt as he poured his seed into them. That was certainly because of his deep love for them.
As for Ember, he was tempted by her beauty and body, but that wasnât enough for him to impregnate her. It would become another responsibility for him.
âIâm leaving tomorrow,â Lawrend said to Aleshia.
The two of them stared at each other. Their emotions spoke with each other.
âI will miss you, Master,â Aleshia said and placed a hand on Lawrendâs cheek.
Lawrend leaned towards her and kissed her on the lips. They didnât care whether Ember was watching them or not. Their tongues played with each other and made lewd wet noises.
Ember widened her eyes in shock. She gasped and stared at them intensely.
âMasterâ¦â
Aleshiaâs eyes became misty and full of love.
âLetâs do it now before I leave tomorrow,â Lawrend said.
âMm.â
Aleshiaâs face turned red, and she glanced at Ember.
âI-I will leave!â Ember said awkwardly.
âStay,â Lawrend ordered.
Emberâs body froze. She wanted to leave, but it seemed like his order had some power in them. In the end, she stayed and sat in the corner of the room. She didnât dare to look at them.
Aleshia smiled wryly at Lawrend. She was already used to this, so she stopped caring about it.
âMaster, I will ride you. Let me do the hard work,â Aleshia said.
She stripped Lawrendâs body and then stripped her own. Ember couldnât help but glance from the corner of her eyes. She was interested in what Aleshiaâs body looked like. After all, sheâs also a woman.
Unfortunately, Aleshia was facing Lawrend. She could only see her slender back from her current position.
*Creak* *Slap* *Creak* *Slap*
The sound of the bed creaking and the sound of flesh hitting each other sounded inside the room.
âAhâ¦â Aleshia lightly moaned.
Ember turned her head away, but her ears could clearly hear what was going on. Her imagination ran wild. She wanted to look, but she was afraid that Lawrend would get angry.
A few minutes passed by, and Emberâs body started to grow hot. She bit her lips and lowered her head before sneaking a peek toward them.
