Chapter 469 - Gratefulness And Change

"Master!"

Aleshia didn't stop running forward when she saw Lawrend. The others made way for her, and she embraced him with one of her arms. As for the other one, Lawrend stared at it in awe.

"I-Is that our baby?" Lawrend asked.

She carried a young baby in her other arm. Compared to the baby that Aezel carried, he was much younger.

"Geez. Why are you asking me?" Aleshia retorted as her face started to turn red in embarrassment.

Lawrend leaned forward and pecked her on the lips. Aleshia understood that they couldn't kiss lewdly, so she also just pecked him.

"Alright. Let's go inside," Lawrend said.

And so, they entered the room. Ella and Feli were almost jumping up and down in joy. They felt happy that everyone was happy now that Lawrend was back.

When Lawrend entered the room, he was greeted by the faint smell of breastmilk. It was very faint, but Lawrend could recognize that smell.

There were various baby supplies laid around the room. Some of which Lawrend couldn't recognize.

But of course, there were no diapers, wipes, or instant milk, like in his past life. The ones in here would be considered archaic for anyone from that world if they saw them.

"Fufufu. Here, Master. Carry your firstborn," Aezel said and passed the baby to him.

Lawrend was surprised, but he still accepted the baby from her. Her cute nose told Lawrend that she was a girl.

"She's a girl?" Lawrend asked to confirm.

"Just as I wanted, Master. Thank you," Aezel replied.

She then deeply bowed to him. Deep in her heart, she was happy that she had hit the jackpot. If it weren't for him, her life and her offspring wouldn't be so amazing.

"You don't have to thank me. It was fun making her," Lawrend joked with a smile on her face.

"Fufufufu. As expected of Master, always hitting on me," Aezel laughed as she slightly blushed.

"What is her name?" Lawrend asked.

"Her name is Veronica," Aezel replied.

"A pleasant name for my baby girl."

Lawrend nodded his head in approval.

"I will take utmost care of her. She will be the most beautiful woman that Master would ever see. To the point that you would never allow her to marry just anyone," Aezel said with a slight tone of pride in her voice.

"Hahahaha! If she did become so beautiful, I would only marry her to someone that has the same talent as I do," Lawrend replied.

"Fufufu. I'm afraid she would never be able to marry then."

Lawrend returned the baby to her. He then focused on the baby that Aleshia was carrying.

"Here!"

Aleshia immediately gave the baby to him. She was waiting impatiently the moment that Aezel gave her baby to Lawrend.

Lawrend took his son and admired his innocence. His son looked at him curiously as if trying to understand who he was.

"Little Zio, greet your father," Aleshia whispered.

"Fa!"

"His name is Zio?"

"Yes, Master. Does it sound bad?" Aleshia asked nervously.

"No. I think it fits him."

"Thank you, Master!"

Aleshia bowed to him.

"Zio… One day, you will grow up and marry plenty of women. Damn," Lawrend said.

He can't help but feel surreal when he thought about it. This little baby in his arm would one day go around the world and bang women just like he did. He can't help but become hopeful about his future.

"Eh? I will teach him good virtues and morals, Master."

"Huh?"

"After giving birth, I felt guilty for what I did in the past. Life is amazing, Master. So, I want our son to fix all of my wrongdoings," Aleshia said.

She looked out of the window in a daze. She could still remember every face that she had killed in the past. Before, she didn't care about them as she had grown numb to it.

Something about giving birth changed her mind. She learned how precious and valuable life truly was.

"I see…"

Lawrend nodded his head at her.

He had seen his fair share of death in his past life. Although, most of them came from seeing them on the internet. It still made it easier for him to get used to it in this world.

He couldn't understand, but he could tell that she understood something precious.

He leaned closer to her.

"What about your darkness magic? Are you not going to use it to kill anymore?" Lawrend asked in a whisper.

"I will still kill, Master. I would just not kill anyone that has never crossed me. I won't kill for money anymore," Aleshia whispered back.

"I understand."

Her words made sense to him. As an assassin, she must have killed innocent people. People that never deserved death.

He felt admiration for her at this moment. Her character change made him feel that the world wasn't as dark as he thought it was.

"Hm? What were you talking about, Master?" Ella asked curiously.

"It was nothing important," Lawrend replied.

Ella squinted her eyes and looked at them suspiciously. She was already used to it at this point, but she was still curious about what they were hiding from her.

"Nyaa! Master, let's go meet Sister Grape," Amene said.

Her tail danced around behind her. Lawrend could immediately tell that she was excited.

"Before that, I want to ask. How long had I been practicing magic?" Lawrend asked.

"It took you one year, Master," Aleshia replied.

"...I'm glad none of you left me," Lawrend said.

A smile formed on his face as he felt grateful to them. They had only been together for seven months before he turned into a monk for a year.

In his previous world, that would have been enough for your girlfriend and even your wife to become unloyal. It was a concern that was at the back of his mind.

Now that he saw that they were still here, he was happy.

"I love all of you," Lawrend said and opened his arms widely.

Aleshia, Ella, Zio, Aezel, Veronica, Amene, and Feli tried to fit themselves in his embrace.

"We also love you, Master!" they responded happily.
