Chapter 456 - The Imperial Decree

"I see…"

Although Aleshia hadn't fully understood what she meant, she was at least able to understand that it was related to the future of Aezel's descendants. She could understand that she wanted the best for them.

…

After they ate lunch, a Royal Guard informed them that one of the envoys from the kingdom was waiting outside of the castle.

"Again?" Humility said with furrowed eyebrows.

Once again, the five of them received the envoy from the empire.

"Greetings, once again," Loa said and bowed to them.

"What is the matter this time, Envoy?" Humility asked.

"The Emperor has become impatient. We will take His Highness to the empire no matter if he wanted to or not," Loa said with a solemn look on her face.

"Are you threatening us?" Aezel asked and frowned at her.

Loa glanced at their pregnant stomachs and slightly raised her head.

"By the Blumin Emperor's Imperial Decree, Lawrend Horiel-Undrasil shall be taken to the Imperial Capital!" Loa shouted in a heavy voice.

Immediately, the faces of the guards in the hall went pale. After the empire's envoys stayed in the capital city for a whole month, almost everyone in the city became familiar with the empire.

The citizens of the capital city rarely interacted with anyone from the empire as they were too far from them. They started asking around, and it was known to everyone in the capital city that the Blumin Empire was the true ruler of the kingdom.

All the beggars in the city that didn't know what the empire was a few months back now knew a lot about it.

Everyone knew that the Imperial Decree was similar to the Royal Decree, but it came from the Emperor. It was a symbol of status and power. Whoever disobeyed it would be looking for death.

"W-Why are you so persistent?!" Humility shouted in panic.

They didn't want to disturb Lawrend, but the Imperial Decree would force them to do so.

"I will tell you the truth. The empire learned that His Highness was training in seclusion to advance to the next level. The Emperor wants him to become a part of the empire before he does so!" Loa said and looked down at the five of them.

"S-Sister Aezel, they are after Master's strength. They feel threatened," Humility whispered to Aezel beside her.

Aezel nodded her head and looked solemn.

"I will inform Master," Humility said.

Loa nodded her head and watched Humility leave. After that, she looked at the cold-faced Aezel and lost some of her confidence.

…

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Lawrend was simulating a world of lightning inside his head when he heard the anxious knocks on the door. The lightning simulation inside his head slowly disappeared before he opened his eyes.

If one looked at his eyes right now, one would see endless raging clouds that were shooting down bolts of golden lightning.

"Come in," Lawrend said.

The door opened, and Humility entered the room. The anxiousness on her face was obvious to him.

"What happened?" Lawrend asked as he felt a premonition from the look on her face.

"The emperor gave an Imperial Decree to take you back to the Imperial Capital," Humility said with a pained look on her face.

"I-Imperial Decree?"

Lawrend was shocked. As someone from another world, he was very familiar with a lot of power systems for a state. An Imperial Decree was similar to a Presidential Decree given down by the President.

No matter who you are, you would have to abide by it. That meant that they would use force if he disobeys.

"Yes. The envoy declared it loudly. It should be real," Humility replied.

She was very worried right now. Her Master was in trouble. She had a guess that he would disobey the Imperial Decree.

Lawrend stood up from the bed and stretched his body. It had been almost a week since he moved his body. Throughout the month, he banged Nao and Amene once.

They served as his exercise to move his body. He found it to be a good lifestyle as it also made him feel good.

Instead of having sex with Nao or Amene in the first two weeks, he did what Ramiela wanted. He used her help and ejaculated in a bottle. It had healing properties that kept the semen alive.

She then used it on herself and poured them inside her vagina. When it was full to the brim, she glued a thick piece of paper on her entrance.

She then proceeded to punch her stomach. It was a brutal process that no one wanted to see. By the end of it, Ramiela confirmed that she was pregnant.

She became happy, and she felt honored to have Lawrend's child. As his angel, she felt like she was committing blasphemy, and that made her feel weird.

Lawrend found it weird that an angel was capable of getting pregnant. Why would the Goddess make such realistic servants? Did she actually want them to reproduce or something?

Lawrend had no idea. He left the room with Humility and headed to the Guest Room.

After Humility left earlier, Aezel and the others guided Loa to this room.

When Lawrend opened the door, everyone's eyes inside the room immediately landed on him. Lawrend looked around and was surprised to see Loa.

She was beautiful, and she looked at him aloofly.

'Is she feeling superior because she has the Imperial Decree to support her?' Lawrend thought to himself.

He sat on the empty seat that Aezel and the others reserved for him.

"Your Highness, the Blumin Emperor has issued a decree for you to come with us to the empire," Lao said.

"What if I said no?" Lawrend casually asked.

"It's not a question, but an order from the emperor," Lao retorted.

"I see. Then I refuse. I'm currently still busy. If he could wait for five more months, then I will consider going there," Lawrend replied and shrugged his shoulders.

"Y-You! Don't you know that the Emperor is known as the Earth Shatterer? He can easily destroy your kingdom if he personally appeared here," Lao said as she became angry from his reply.
