âI donât believe that there arenât other descendants that threaten the position of Clan Head from you,â Lawrend said.
âI donât need your help!â Ember replied fiercely.
âReally? If that is so, then I will just watch as you lose the fight for the Clan Head position,â Lawrend replied calmly.
âThreaten me as much as you want. I will be the Clan Head!â Ember shouted.
âYou are confident, huh. You can approach me if you change your mind,â Lawrend said and dropped the matter.
âAleshia, lead her to her room.â
âYes, Master.â
Aleshia stood up and bowed toward him.
Lawrend released Emberâs hand and stared at her. She raised her chin and ignored him. She followed Aleshia out of the dining hall.
âMaster, sheâs so fierce. You should have spanked her butt!â Humility said with a smile.
âFufufu. Stripping her naked is better,â Aezel said.
âSheâs like an imperial queen. So domineering,â Nao muttered.
âCrazy woman. She will stay single forever,â Grape added.
âNyaa! No one would want such a fierce woman.â
âLowly phoenix, if Sister Aezel didnât take the lead, I would have shown her my glorious wings!â Ramiela uttered coldly.
âRelax, girls. Sheâs fierce and arrogant, but there are countless men that would want to conquer her,â Lawrend interrupted them.
âReally? She wonât be a good wife at all.â Humility shook her head.
âWell, even Iâm tempted,â Lawrend chuckled.
âFufufufu. I get it now. Master wants to taste the feeling of conquering her arrogance?â Aezel said in amusement.
âCorrect. It will be so satisfying when I conquer someone like that,â Lawrend replied with a nod of his head.
âYouâre a pervert, Master,â Humility replied.
âHahahaha! If Iâm a pervert, all of you would be even more of a pervert,â Lawrend retorted.
âHeheheâ¦â
Humility didnât deny his words and giggled.
As a result of his words, their faces heated up and turned red.
âI will go continue practicing magic. Let me know if she causes trouble again,â Lawrend said and stood up.
His maids also stood up and bowed to him. Lawrend left them alone and headed back to the throne room.
âFire⦠Lightning⦠Iâm getting closer and closer.â
Lawrend smiled to himself. His battle with Ember earlier allowed him to speed up the process. Soon, he would be able to create a Beginner Mage spell with both Lightning and Fire.
Donât belittle that spell. It would be able to kill the strongest True Mage out there in one strike and severely injure a High Mage. One day he would be able to create Grand Mage spells with both fire and lightning magic.
One could only imagine the destruction that would cause.
â¦
After entering her own room, Ember closed the door and sat on the bed with a frown. She was naturally upset that she lost to him and to the fact that she couldnât fight back when he was holding her hand.
âI will make you pay one day,â Ember silently engraved into her heart this grievance she felt.
She walked outside the balcony and felt the fresh air coming from the Undrasil Monster Forest.
âUwahhh!â
Ember turned her head and saw a woman cradling a baby boy in her arms. The boy was crying incessantly.
âShhh! Courage, stop crying.â
It was none other than Elena and Courage. She was left to take care of the babies as the others tried to help Lawrend. The reason she became the babysitter was because of her ability to create slime tentacles.
In theory, Elena could make thousands of hands that could help her take care of the babies.
Courage was crying, so she carried him out to the balcony to stop him from inciting the other babies to cry with him. It would be a big headache at that time.
Elena suddenly noticed a gaze and looked to her right. She found a red-haired lady staring at her in annoyance.
Elena didnât recognize her and decided to ignore her.
âYou! Are you making that baby stop crying or not!?â Ember shouted.
Elena furrowed her eyebrows and ignored her. She was too busy to care about her.
âThere, there. Stop crying, little Courage. Letâs go back inside.â
Elena carried Courage back in without looking at Ember one bit. Needless to say, Ember was furious at getting ignored.
âCome back here!â Ember shouted.
She flew to Elenaâs balcony and entered the room, fuming in anger.
âYouââ
She was about to berate Elena when she saw the little babies in the room. Elena looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.
âShush.â
ââ¦â
Ember was silent. She didnât want to disturb them, or the sound of their cries would reach her room, and she wonât be able to have a second of peace.
âWhose are they?â Ember asked curiously.
The babies looked cute, and she felt a slight affinity for them.
âThey are Masterâs.â
âWho? Who is your Master?â
âLawrend Horiel,â Elena answered.
âT-They are his descendantsâ¦â
Elena saw Emberâs eyes turn round. She approached one baby and stared at him. It was none other than Zio, Aleshiaâs baby.
She crouched and slowly carried the baby in her arms. Elena watched her intently and was on guard.
âHeâs quite cute. Heâs also theâ¦â (descendant of the Ignis with the purest divine bloodlineâ¦)
Ember didnât finish her words with her mouth and continued them in her thoughts. She didnât want Elena to hear her words.
Ember turned around and carried him out to the balcony. Elena placed the now calm Courage on the bed and followed her.
*Fwoosh!*
Ember suddenly flew away. Elena looked at her, rapidly flying away in shock.
âSister Elena?â
At this time, the others had already returned to get their babies back.
âSisters, Zio was kidnapped!â Elena shouted in panic.
âWhat!?â x7
All of them became alarmed. Aleshiaâs face became cold, and she looked out the balcony. She could faintly see Emberâs rapidly disappearing back.
âI will take care of her!â Aezel declared. She flew up and flew to the sky.
âI will help you!â Elena said and flew.
She felt it was her fault that Zio got kidnapped away.
