Chapter 455 - The Envoy Visits

"I-I also want to get pregnant…" Nao replied with a flushed face and looked away from him.

"Hahaha. Alright. You and Amene will take turns," Lawrend chuckled.

He liked seeing the embarrassed side of her.

After the lunch, Lawrend returned to the Royal Chamber. He sat on the bed cross-legged and closed his eyes.

And so, time started flowing continuously.

…

The next day after Lawrend started his secluded training, one of the mages from the empire arrived at the Royal Castle. Her appearance made Aezel and the others serious.

Aezel, Aleshia, Humility, Elena, and Ramiela stood before her.

"Greetings. My name is Loa Saphira," an oval-faced woman said and bowed.

She had a sharp chin and an aloof expression on her face. She was the same Wind Grand Mage that once fought Clova.

"Welcome to Master's castle," Aezel said and nodded her head at her.

When Loa saw that she didn't bow back, she ignored it, but she glanced at the others with a frown.

"I would like to meet His Highness," Loa said.

"For what reason?"

Instead of Aezel, the one that asked was Humility. Aezel glanced at her before stepping back. She knew that Humility was better at communicating formally between all of them.

Loa looked up and down at Humility and furrowed her eyebrows.

"My name is Kasina Humility Undrasil. I'm the Princess of this Kingdom. Currently, I could be considered as the future Queen," Humility said as she realized that the woman didn't like her.

"Princess Kasina, I want to meet His Highness for an important matter. It needs to be dealt with in private," Loa replied.

"In private?"

Humility raised an eyebrow.

"O-Of course. This concerns highly confidential information."

Loa was taken aback. She thought that Humility misunderstood her words for something else.

"You can tell us. Master trusts all of us," Humility said.

"Before that, may we go into a private room?" Loa asked.

They were currently standing directly at the entrance of the Royal Palace. Their conversation could be easily overheard by anyone.

"Follow us," Humility replied and turned around.

They headed to one of the Guest Rooms at the palace. It was big enough for a group of ten people to have a meeting on the round table.

Once inside, Humility and the others sat on one side.

Loa had no choice but to sit opposite of them. She felt intimidated sitting directly across Aezel, who was as powerful as an Earth Mage.

"So, what is this confidential information?" Humility asked.

"The emperor gave his words," Loa answered.

"T-The emperor?"

Humility felt troubled when she heard the emperor get mentioned. Unlike the king of the Undrasil Kingdom, the emperor of the Blumin Empire was someone who was the strongest in his territory.

If he wanted something done, Earth Mages would do it to please him.

As for the others besides Humility, expressions of worry appeared on their faces.

"Yes. Through the communication device in the Mage Guild, the emperor contacted us. He would like to grant Lawrend an official position as long as he comes with us to the empire," Loa replied.

"What position?" Humility asked with her heartbeat thumping.

A position directly granted by the emperor would mean that no one could question it. It would be easy for him to climb through the ranks and become a powerhouse with strength and status in the empire.

"I'm afraid only the emperor can tell that to His Highness," Loa replied and shook her head.

Humility frowned and felt unsure.

"Unfortunately, Master is not available for today. Please wait for a while longer," Humility replied back.

Without knowing what that official position could be, Humility didn't feel like bothering Lawrend for it. After all, his training was now the priority.

"I see, then I will take my leave. Please give my greetings to His Highness," Loa said and stood up.

"Thank you for letting us know," Humility replied.

They escorted Loa out of the palace and watched her leave.

"Sister Humility, what do you think do they want?" Aezel asked.

She felt suspicious of the new development.

"I also don't know why the emperor wants to give Master an official position so early. They must have realized something," Humility replied.

"I agree. They must have seen Master's brilliance," Ramiela joined in on their conversation.

"Let's not tell Master for now," Aleshia said.

"Mm."

They split up and left.

…

A month passed by uneventfully. This time, the bulges on Aleshia, Aezel, Humility, and Grape's stomachs became very visible. They now wore loose maid uniforms that did not constrict their stomach.

"Ahhh~ Master's baby…"

Aezel rubbed her stomach as she stood behind a stone guard rail. She watched as the sun rose from the east. There was a serene and happy smile on her face.

"Sister Aezel, have you already decided on a name?" Aleshia asked as she walked from behind her.

"Fufufufu. Of course. I will name her Veronica if she was a female, and I will name him Black if he was a male," Aezel replied.

"Veronica sounds good, but why Black?" Aleshia asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"He's useless. I will need Master to impregnate me again if it was a boy," Aezel replied coldly.

"What?"

Aleshia stared at her and tried to comprehend what she had just heard.

"Male Demons aren't capable of impregnating human women. They are only capable of impregnating other demons. If my baby becomes a boy, our bloodline will never improve," Aezel explained to her.

"I-Isn't that too harsh for him?" Aleshia asked with worry on her face.

As she was becoming a mother, she felt pity for the baby inside Aezel's stomach. She hoped that it wasn't a boy, or he would suffer hardship in the world.

"Ever since demons started getting impregnated by talented humans, we slowly took on their forms. Before, we looked like savage black-skinned monkeys that only knew how to smash rocks together.. Now, we are slowly growing to become as powerful as the human race," Aezel continued as she gazed out to the garden of the Royal Castle.
