Chapter 632: Chapter 632 The Sun Church By Humility

Lawrend placed Aezel on her bed and sat beside her. He stared at her sleeping face and rubbed her forehead.

“You did great.”

“Mm…fufufu… Mashterrr…” Aezel spoke in her sleep.

“Sister Aezel…”

Aleshia sat on the other side of the bed and clasped Aezel’s hand. She rubbed them and she couldn’t help but smile.

“Give her a bath. I will go take a bath and speak to Humility,” Lawrend said.

“As per your orders, Master,” Aleshia replied and bowed her head.

Lawrend left the room and found another room. He used its bathroom and did a quick cleaning of his slightly smelly body from Aezel’s pukes.

After that, he walked around the castle and arrived in the throne room. A slender silhouette was sitting behind an office table to the side of the throne’s stairs. She was flipping through stacks of paper and writing on them.

“Master!” Humility called out in exhilaration.

She tried to get up, but she quickly stopped because a stack of paper almost fell over. Lawrend walked over to her and grabbed that stack.

“Ehehehe… I didn’t know managing such a large territory is this exhausting,” Humility said with an embarrassed blush.

“Is this all? I was expecting much more,” Lawrend said as he looked through the papers.

“It was much harder a month ago, Master. Thankfully, I was able to divert the work to the others and the old kingdom’s ministers,” Humility replied.

“You’re so good at your job, Humility. What else have you been doing?” Lawrend asked.

“I did all the paperwork since you were absent. Like the ones for construction, farming, human resources, etc. Don’t worry. I set aside the papers I weren’t sure you’d approve,” Humility happily answered.

“Anything else?” Lawrend asked and squinted his eyes at her.

“Hehehe. I also collected a substantial amount of my nectar,” Humility answered and her face blushed.

She rubbed her thighs together as thinking about it aroused her.

“Are you sure?” Lawrend solemn asked.

“Eh? What else do you want to know, Master?” Humility asked and realized that he was asking for something specific.

“Why did you make a cult of me?” Lawrend asked straight to the point.

“A-A-Ahhh!! I don’t know what you mean, Master…” Humility said and furiously tried to keep eye contact.

Lawrend immediately knew that she was trying to hide it from him. He sighed and walked behind her.

“M-Master?” Humility stammered.

“Stop lying to me!”

Lawrend lightly smacked her head.

“Owh!”

Humility covered her head with her hands and looked back at him with a wronged expression on her face while slowly rubbing the spot he hit.

“Tell me everything,” Lawrend said.

“Yes, Master…”

“From the start.”

“I noticed that the citizens here think that you are a god. I couldn’t help but want to make it clear to them that you are indeed a god. And so… Now we have an Imperial Church with branches in every city in the empire.

“These churches were built using donation money, so it didn’t hurt our pockets. W-Why do you still look angry, Master??” Humility asked in fear.

“You even made them donate their money?” Lawrend angrily asked.

“It’s for a good cause, Master!” Humility immediately responded.

“Actually, you’re right. Good job,” Lawrend said and rubbed her head. The angry expression on his face vanished like smoke.

“Eh?”

Humility stared at him in confusion. His sudden change of expression confused her. She thought he was angry, and she could understand that because she did it behind his back.

“I don’t like being prayed to, but it’s a good way to put the empire under our control,” Lawrend explained to her.

“But why did you look angry…”

“You didn’t ask for my permission. You even tried to hide it from me,” Lawrend replied with a frown.

He was upset at her for trying to hide something from him. As her Master, she was obligated to tell him everything she knew.

“I’m sorry, Master. I won’t hide anything from you ever again,” Humility replied while looking down at the table.

She genuinely felt sad. Hearing her Master upset about her lies made her feel a suffocating sense of guilt.

“Good. Anyways, why are you working here? Don’t you have an office of your own?” Lawrend asked.

He looked around the empty throne room, and it felt lonely with her alone in here.

“I was waiting for you, and I need to show you a lot of documents, so it was convenient for me to be here,” Humility answered.

“I see. Let me see these documents you are talking about.”

“This is the most important one. The citizens of the empire were advocating for you to change the name of the empire.”

Lawrend took the document from her hand and started reading through it. In it were the new empire’s name and suggestions to change the power structure to a religious-centric one.

Basically, they wanted the Imperial Church to have all of the political power in the empire. Their reasoning was that Lawrend was a god so his followers should have the power to control the empire he made.

“A good suggestion. I agree to the name change, but I don’t like the change of structure,” Lawrend said.

“W-What? This new structure would boost your influence, Master!” Humility exclaimed.

She really wanted this new political structure to be set. Her goal was to make her Master the greatest man, so she wanted it to become this way.

“No. I want our descendants to inherit the empire. I don’t want my kids to start worshiping me just to inherit control,” Lawrend explained to her and slowly shook his head.

“You’ve already thought that far? As expected of Master… Sister Aezel was right, you see things differently compared to us,” Humility replied.

She was amazed at his thought process.

“I approve of this Sun Empire name.”

“I will pass on your orders, Master. Can you write an Imperial Edict for me?”

“I don’t know how to make one,” Lawrend blatantly answered.

“Hehehe. I will teach you, Master,” Humility said and stood up.
