Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 368 – Asmodaois

"Do you know him?" Lawrend couldn't help but ask Aezel after hearing the surprise in her voice.

"Yes, I do, but I think I got the wrong person," Aezel replied.

The guard opened the door, and they entered the office. There were various furnished wooden types of furniture inside, and a man was sitting on an elegantly designed table.

"What are you doing here!?" Aezel shouted after seeing the man behind the table.

"You're here!?" Asmodaois exclaimed and stood up from his seat.

"The two of you know each other?" Lawrend asked.

He felt shocked as he knew that Aezel was from the demon world. That would mean that the man in front of them was also a demon, but he didn't look the part, so Lawrend became confused as a result.

"Guard, leave," Asmodaois ordered.

"Yes." The guard responded and left.

"I-Is that really you?" Asmodaois asked.

There was a look of disbelief on his face. He raised his two hands and put Aezel's face in between them while he was still a distance away from her. [AN: Imagine looking at a telescope.]

"What are you doing here?" Aezel asked.

"I'm here to look for you," Asmodaois replied.

"…Why are you the City Lord of this city?" Aezel asked.

"Forgive me, Eldest Sister! I disguised myself as a human and decided to track down your whereabouts," Asmodaois replied.

"Hmph. I will scold you later," Aezel said with a cold look on her face.

"Y-Yes." Asmodaois shivered, seeing the look on her face.

"Master, this is my Younger Brother, Asmodaois. He's a demon just like me," Aezel said.

"Master? Did you become a slave!?" Asmodaois shouted in disbelief.

"I'm Master's maid! Don't degrade me to such a level," Aezel corrected him angrily.

"Yes…" Asmodaois nodded his head meekly.

His reactions were a stark contrast to the huge build and powerful body he had.

"How did you even become the city lord of this city? You're a weakling, right?" Aezel asked.

"I used my magic," Asmodaois replied.

"…"

Aezel placed her hand on her temple and rubbed it in frustration.

"Master, forgive my little brother. He doesn't know what he's doing," Aezel apologized to him in a bow.

"Why? What's the problem with his magic?" Lawrend asked.

"He used hypnotism, Master. He knows Darkness Magic that can hypnotize people," Aezel replied.

"Really? How effective is it?" Lawrend asked.

"He's a Commoner Demon when I left, so he should be equivalent to a High Mage. And because of the uniqueness of his Darkness Magic, he could use it on unguarded people a level higher than him," Aezel explained.

"Unguarded?" Lawrend repeated in confusion.

"Yes. If you guard yourself against his attack, you would be able to stop his magic from working," Aezel replied.

"I see. So you're here for your Eldest Sister, huh," Lawrend said.

"Eldest Sister, I can't believe it that you became a human's maid. I feel disappointed in you," Asmodaois said after hearing Lawrend talk to him.

"Fufufufu. If you're disappointed, you won't be able to see the light of day tomorrow," Aezel said with a sharp look in her eyes.

"I-I was joking! I'm very happy that you became a human's maid!" Asmodaois hurriedly shouted.

"Not just any human, say Lawrend Horiel!" Aezel corrected.

"Yes! It's a good thing that Eldest Sister became Lawrend Horiel's maid!" Asmodaois shouted in reply.

"Good," Aezel said and smiled at him.

"So, Eldest Sister, are you going back with me to the demon world?" Asmodaois asked.

"You're the one that should go back. If a human realizes what you had done, you will be hunted by the Arch Mage in this city. At worst, a Grand Mage might even hunt you down," Aezel said.

She was speaking from experience. In her inexperience, she thought that she could take on an Arch Mage and a Hill Sword together. Her biggest mistake was overestimating her abilities.

She lost, and a Grand Mage came later and kidnapped her before locking her up in the capital city. If she wasn't able to escape, she knew that she would have been experimented on. After all, demons are rare in the human world.

"I promised before I left that I won't come back without you, Eldest Sister," Asmodaois replied.

"Oh, really? Fufufufu. I didn't think that my little brother was so charismatic," Aezel said sarcastically.

"*Gulp* I will return! Please don't shock my **** with your lightning!" Asmodaois begged with slight tears in his eyes.

Lawrend couldn't help but imagine Aezel shocking her little brother's **** in his mind. He quickly shook his head and removed the curse scene in his mind.

"Aezel, you don't need to send him back. We can use your little brother," Lawrend said.

"Him? No, Master. I don't think he will do a decent job," Aezel replied.

"Think about it. Your little brother will manage this town while we can deploy Kenova to a different city," Lawrend explained to her.

"Hmm… That actually makes sense, Master," Aezel replied.

"So, what do you think?" Lawrend asked.

"You. Don't you dare get too cocky! Stay here and don't let any Arch Mages see you," Aezel said to Asmodaois.

"Yes, Eldest Sister! I will do as you say," Asmodaois responded.

"Once we give you the signal, you will declare that this city is supporting the new king," Aezel said.

"I understand," Asmodaois replied.

"Anyways, why did you even become a City Lord?" Aezel asked him.

"I thought that a City Lord would have more power. If they somehow captured you, I will use my authority to take you back," Asmodaois replied.

"Smart. You make your Eldest Sister proud," Aezel replied and smiled at him.

"Thank you for the praise, Eldest Sister!" Asmodaois shouted.

He was overjoyed to hear that she was proud of him. All this time, he was always looked down upon by her.

"Let's leave, Master. There's nothing to see here anymore," Aezel said and embraced Lawrend's arm before pulling him to the door.

"E-Eldest Sister, I want to ask. When are you going to come back?" Asmodaois asked in a panic.

"I will go back here when I want to go back," Aezel replied and closed the door.
