Combat Maid Harem

“What?”

Ramiela’s eyes turned round as she couldn’t believe Lawrend’s words. She was used to being mad at the Goddess, so she didn’t know who to hate now that it wasn’t her.

“I failed to become a Heaven Mage simply because I wasn’t good enough,” Lawrend explained.

“If anyone is more eligible to become a Heaven Mage, it is you, Master.”

Ramiela couldn’t accept his words. She believed that he would one day stand in the same position as the Goddess. He was her God, and he was very talented. She was sure that he would one day become a Heaven Mage.

“Thank you, but it is the truth.”

Lawrend got up and walked out of the room.

“Master!” Aezel called out and embraced him.

She was waiting by the door with anxiousness. She was ready to rush it at a moment’s notice from Ramiela. If needed to be, she would offer her life to save him from the Goddess.

Thus, seeing him safe and sound allowed her to relax and put her scary thoughts away. She sniffed his shoulder and confirmed that it was really him.

“Gather everyone. I will tell them I will practice in seclusion for a week. I will do my best to try to become a Heaven Mage again,” Lawrend said.

“Understood, Master.”

Aezel reluctantly released him from her embrace. She hurriedly left to call the others.

Lawrend returned to the room and sat on the bed with his legs crossed.

Ramiela felt sad seeing the solemn look on Lawrend’s face. She wanted him to succeed and become a Heaven Mage. Seeing him become this sad annoyed her.

‘I want to help Master…’ Ramiela thought to herself.

She strengthened her determination to become stronger. If she couldn’t help him become a Heaven Mage, she must at least become powerful enough to give him a relaxed lifestyle. In her mind, her God deserved to live much, much better than she was.

The others soon entered the room. They each came forward and embraced Lawrend. All of their faces were plastered with expressions of relief.

“Master, are you sure?” Ember asked.

Aezel had already told the others what was going to happen. They were all frustrated that they couldn’t help him become a Heaven Mage.

“Yes. I want all of you to stop worrying about it. I will one day become a Heaven Mage. I already know what to do the next time I have the opportunity,” Lawrend replied.

He looked into each of their eyes and nodded his head. He wanted them to put their trust in him. They might be his maids, but they were still his lovers. He didn’t want them to worry needlessly.

“I understand, Master. We will pray for your success,” Aleshia replied as she took a step forward.

The others voiced their agreement with her words.

Lawrend was grateful for their support. He waved for them to leave the room, and they bowed before leaving.

“Master, good luck,” Ramiela said before she left the room and closed the door.

“*Sigh* It’s getting harder and harder to improve,” Lawrend muttered to himself.

It was very easy to become a Beginner Mage, but it was very hard to become a Heaven Mage. It made sense, or everyone would already be Heaven Mages. Nonetheless, Lawrend wouldn’t let this one setback hold him back.

He closed his eyes and immediately went into meditation. He attempted to re-enter that state of epiphany he had before.

…

A few days passed by, but nothing good came out of it. Lawrend felt slightly frustrated. No matter how hard he tried, the feeling never came back. It was as if it was just a one-time opportunity.

He stopped and stared outside the window. The sun rose over the horizon and cast its warmth over the lands. Lawrend hoped that this would trigger another epiphany, but it still didn’t come again.

Left with little hope, Lawrend continued his meditation. Every morning he would open his eyes and watch the sunrise.

Soon, a week passed by. It was time for the competition. Lawrend despondently shook his head and got up from bed.

He walked out of the room.

pan-d a-n0vel.com Everyone was waiting for him. Their eyes lit up when he came out, but they immediately dimmed after they realized that he didn’t succeed.

“Don’t worry. It’s not the end yet.” Lawrend smiled.

“We believe in your success, Master,” Aleshia replied.

“Fathew, you will succeed one day!” Eina shouted behind Elena.

“Yes! Father is very talented!” Veronica chimed in.

“Thank you.”

Lawrend smiled gleefully at his children. He was a bit sad about his inability to enter an epiphany, but hearing his children’s words encouraged him to try harder.

“Alright. Let’s fetch Inferno.”

…

The group left the Juvenile Estate and arrived before the main estate.

“Lawrend, Ember, welcome back.”

Paeia was waiting for them at the gate. He smiled at the two of them. Unlike before, he was friendlier.

“Father! Inferno!” Ember joyfully exclaimed.

She was happy to see the change in her father’s attitude. She went over and grabbed Inferno’s hand. She bent down and patted his head.

“How was it with Grandfather?” Ember asked the little kid.

“Grandpa spoiled me a lot, Mommy,” Inferno replied with a wry smile on his face.

His maturity was very odd for the small shape of his body and his young age, but Ember was already used to that, so she smiled happily. She was glad her father liked her son.

For her, that meant it was worth it to officialize her relationship with Lawrend by meeting her Father.

“This kid will win the competition for sure,” Paeia said with a faint smile on his face.

During Inferno’s stay, he learned what level Inferno was at. He was shocked a lot because he was even more talented than Ember, who he had already placed on a very high pedestal within his mind. He was familiar with the other talented kids in the upcoming competition, so he knew the others would only be fighting for the second place since Inferno would own the first place.

“I will win second!” Veronica shouted from behind Aezel.
