Chapter 499: Chapter 499

“Did they hear Valentina moaning?” Lawrend asked as they walked through the cabin’s hallway.

“I immediately told the others to bring them outside, so you don’t have to worry, Master,” Aezel replied.

“That’s a relief.”

Lawrend sighed. He forgot that his room was also beside Elena’s room.

They entered the deck, and the salty breeze assaulted Lawrend’s face. It was quite windy.

He quickly found his children. His maids were carrying them as they watched the sea waves crash and fold.

…

Lawrend spent the whole three months bedding his maids and taking care of his children. He would then practice magic from time to time.

“Passengers, we’re about to dock at Sorba Port City. Please follow the city’s rules,” the captain shouted.

Lawrend and his maids were outside the deck. They watched the Primitus Continent grow in size as they approached it.

“Finally, we’re back home,” Lawrend muttered.

There was a wide smile on his face.

“Mm.” Aleshia nodded her head beside him.

“Nyaa… I’m still not pregnant. We went to the Altro Continent and back, yet I’m still not pregnant…” Amene said despondently.

Lawrend rubbed her back and consoled her. He had nothing to say to her. He was thinking about a worse conclusion that he didn’t want to reveal to her.

‘She might be infertile,’ Lawrend thought to himself.

Valentina would have heard his thoughts if she wasn’t in the crystal orb. Otherwise, she would have scolded Lawrend.

A few hours later, the ship docked at the port. The passengers started disembarking and walking on land for the first time in three months.

“Land!” Amene shouted happily.

She jumped from the wooden board to the port.

As a demihuman cat, she disliked the big ocean. She liked the land more as there was no fear of drowning.

“Nyaa..!”

Grape followed behind her. She carried Straw in her arms carefully.

Lawrend’s whole group entered the port and was inspected by the guards. Once they were clear, they were allowed entry.

“It seems like Verkoli did a great job,” Lawrend said.

He looked back at the guards in wonder. If the empire had taken over the kingdom, they would’ve placed a hunt for him. But the guards clearly didn’t recognize him.

“Let’s find an inn, Master. And then I will scout out the city for information,” Aleshia said.

She was on high alert. As someone hunted by authorities before, she was afraid that they would get recognized and arrested.

Though, it was hard to imagine that she was a vicious assassin with Zio in her arms.

“Okay. We’re doing that,” Lawrend replied and nodded his head.

Her idea was a good one. They found a relatively cheap and comfortable inn after entering the city.

This room got two beds and was relatively large. They all stayed in the same room while waiting for Aleshia to return.

Aleshia gave Zio to him and quickly disappeared.

“Fufufufu. It has been a while since I last saw her act like an assassin,” Aezel said with a laugh.

“I agree. She relaxed too much recently,” Lawrend replied.

“Hm… I think Sister Aleshia trusts you that well, Master,” Elena said.

Lawrend smiled, hearing her words. He knew that, but he liked the assassin Aleshia. Her beauty wasn’t her only charm. Her assassin skills were also part of it.

“Pa…”

Lawrend looked down at Zio. He carried him in his arms.

“Papa?” [AN: Papa = Daddy)

“Pa… Pa..!”

Zio struggled to say.

“Awww..! He’s so cute!”

Elena placed Eina on the bed and took Zio from Lawrend’s arms.

“Hey, why did you steal him from me?” Lawrend asked as he faked an angry expression.

“Ehehe. He’s my baby now,” Elena replied with a smirk.

“…”

Lawrend smiled wryly. She inherited a lot of her personality from Aleshia. She also liked taking care of children.

“…Pa!”

Zio raised his arms towards Lawrend.

He smirked and stole Zio from her arms.

“See? He likes me more,” Lawrend said smugly.

“Hmph. I still have my cute Eina!”

Elena picked up Eina from the bed and carried her in her arms. She looked at Lawrend as if to challenge him.

“Hoh? Watch as I steal her from you!” Lawrend declared.

He waved his hand at Eina and smiled.

Eina turned away and snuggled in Elena’s bosom.

“Hahahaha! You lose, Master!” Elena smiled victoriously.

“Fufufu.” Aezel couldn’t help but smile as she watched them compete against each other.

“What?”

“What?”

Both Lawrend and Elena looked at her in displeasure.

“Nothing,” Aezel replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Grape and Amene were taking turns taking care of Straw.

“Sister, she clearly wants me to take care of her,” Amene said.

“Nyaa? She wants me to breastfeed her,” Grape replied.

“I can also breastfeed her,” Amene said.

“What?”

“Nyahahaha. If I squeeze enough, milk comes out,” Amene said.

“Nyaaaa?? You’re going to make Straw starve!” Grape exclaimed.

“Nyaa…” Amene nodded her head sadly.

She returned Straw to her.

Grape pulled her clothes to the side and placed her nipple against Straw’s mouth. She quickly opened her mouth and started sucking on it.

“Nyaa…”

Grape felt ticklish.

She turned her head to Amene and saw her sad expression.

“Sister, I believe that you will get your own child one day,” Grape said to console her.

“Nyaa…” Amene nodded her head weakly.

“Elder Sister, how do I help you get a baby?” Feli asked.

She felt bad for her. She saw her other Big Sisters having their own babies, but her Elder Sister was one of the few that didn’t get one.

“You can’t help me, Feli. This is a problem in my stomach,” Amene replied.

“But Elder Sister…” Feli said in a sad voice.

“I’m sure Master will find a way,” Aezel said as he approached them.

“Yes, nyaa.” Grape nodded her head in agreement.

As they were discussing Amene’s problem, Aleshia returned.

“Master! Something big happened! The Empire is currently at war with another empire,” Aleshia said excitedly.

“What!? That’s good news!” Lawrend exclaimed.
