Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 91 – The Baby Dilemma •

"Aezel! What are you doing!"

Lawrend shouted to her in panic.

"Lawrend, I'll explain it to you since you made me feel so good."

Aezel said to him while she still pointed her finger at him.

"W-What is it?"

Lawrend's mind had already cleared. He asked her nervously. He doesn't think that he would be able to survive her lightning magic even though he's also a lightning mage.

"The reason we demons wage war with humans."

Aezel said to him with emotion on her face.

"Is it because of racial differences?"

Lawrend guessed as there was such a problem back in his previous life.

"That's one thing, but the true reason is because…"

Aezel nodded her head before trailing off her words. She looked at her stomach with warmth and rubbed it.

"…is because we demons improve our bloodline using talented humans."

Aezel turned her head to Lawrend.

Lawrend immediately realized why she wanted to capture him instead of killing him. It all made sense now, except for one thing.

"Then why do you want to kill me? You are surely gonna get pregnant after I filled you so much."

Lawrend asked her as he sat there warily. Aezel's face blushed after hearing his words. They just did it so she could still feel his holy seed inside her.

"I also don't want to do this, Lawrend. But getting pregnant is not enough."

Aezel replied as she shook her head.

"What do you mean?"

Lawrend asked her in confusion. Isn't she already conceiving?

"The baby will be born dead if the father's soul is not used as a nutrient."

Aezel explained to him.

"T-The baby will die..?"

Lawrend looked at her in shock. He was almost sure that he was gonna become a father after filling her so much, so hearing that his baby will die if he didn't die made him feel complicated.

"You understand me now, right?"

Aezel asked him. Her eyes were starting to get misty as tears welled up in them.

"I…"

Lawrend was confused. He has many dreams to achieve. He hadn't even met back with Aleshia, Elena, and Ella. It would be irresponsible of him to die now that they are worried for his safety. But the baby that Aezel would be conceiving is the same. The baby also deserves to live.

"Lawrend, let's end this! I… I'll make sure to tell the baby how great his/her father is!"

Aezel promised him as tears started to fall down her face. She didn't know why, but she felt an emotional attachment to the man before her.

"That's… Is that really the only way?"

Lawrend's mind whirred as he thought of other ways to solve this problem.

"…"

Aezel just silently looked at him as tears fell down her face while she still had her finger pointed to him.

"Can't we abort the baby?"

Lawrend asked her with pain in his voice. He wanted to see his baby when it's born, but he had to prioritize his life.

"I won't agree! Never! This is our precious baby, Lawrend! How can you say that!?"

Aezel immediately shook her head vehemently in refusal. Her maternal instincts were firing off at maximum power.

"I… I…"

Lawrend's mouth opened and closed repeatedly as he tried to come up with words to say to her. He could understand her feelings. He was in post-nut clarity so his sense of guilt was magnified too.

"Can you wait?"

Lawrend asked her with gritted teeth.

"Are you gonna write your will?"

Aezel asked him and bit her lips. The longer this took, the more unwilling she was feeling to kill Lawrend.

"No. I'll not write my will, nor am I gonna die here. I want you to wait. As long as the baby is not born, then my death can be delayed, right?"

Lawrend shook his head and said to her solemnly.

"It can but… I'll still kill you when the time comes."

Aezel replied to him in a murmur.

"Haha… I didn't know that you would be such a protective mother."

Lawrend suddenly laughed.

"Isn't it natural?"

Aezel retorted in confusion.

"We aren't really sure that you are pregnant already, right? Besides, nine months is a long time. There would surely be a solution to this."

Lawrend said to her optimistically.

"There aren't. Generations of demons have tried, but there is no other way to safely conceive a baby without sacrificing the soul of the human father as a nutrient."

Aezel shook her head at Lawrend's optimistic thinking. She liked that he wanted to find a solution, but there really isn't.

"Alright, but are you really pregnant already? Maybe we didn't conceive one."

Lawrend said to her, still optimistic.

"I… can sense the faint life inside my womb."

Aezel replied to him, and she looked down at her stomach with warmth in her eyes.

"Y-You're really pregnant?"

Lawrend asked her in a stutter. Fear and excitement mixed inside him. He was excited to become a father, but he's also afraid to die.

"There's no doubt about it."

Aezel replied to Lawrend solemnly.

"Then… I'll find a way. Surely!"

Lawrend said to her with determination in his eyes.

"…Okay."

Aezel bit her lips and lowered her finger.

"Sigh…"

Lawrend sighed, realizing that he had convinced her.

It was not fun being on the edge of death and guilt. He half-regretted going with the flow earlier and impregnating her.

"But… do remember that I'll kill you before the baby comes."

Aezel reminded him solemnly.

"Alright."

Lawrend nodded at her confidently. Nine months is a long time. He will find a way. Surely! If he couldn't, then… He'll deal with her then.

Aezel ran to Lawrend and embraced him.

"*sob* Lawrend, I… I don't want to kill you."

Aezel said to him as she buried her face in his shoulder.

"It's alright. We'll find a way."

Lawrend smiled and rubbed her back to ease her.

"Mhm."

Aezel nodded her head. They stayed in that position for about half an hour as they sensed the warmth of each other.

"Are you gonna leave?"

Lawrend suddenly asked her.
