Lawrend sat on the bed as he rested from their vigorous session.

“So, do you know how to give a massage now?” Lawrend asked.

“Master, is the last part necessary?” Ember asked with her face flushed red.

She lay on the bed like an old vegetable. She felt quite dehydrated because of how many times she released her fluids.

“What part?”

“The part where you fucked me!” Ember playfully replied.

“What do you think? Would you have enjoyed it so much if I didn’t?” Lawrend asked back with a teasing smile on his face.

“Hmph. You’re teaching me weird things,” Ember snorted.

“You can ask Grape for more. I will take a bath. No need for you to prepare it for me,” Lawrend said and left.

“Sister Grape..?”

Ember was surprised that Grape knew how to give a massage. She would ask her once they met up once again.

Lawrend took a quick bath and entered a different room. Ember took a bath of her own before reporting to the inn staff to clean this place up. She acted cold and aloof when the inn staff inspected the wet bed.

The inn staff also knew basic propriety and pretended as if they didn’t realize someone squirted a lot on this bed.



Lawrend slept in the new room. It was a relaxing experience to give her a massage. Exploring her naked and top-tier body was very satisfying.



The night quickly passed, and Lawrend woke up to find Ember sleeping beside him. He sat up on the bed and felt the abundant mana in the air.

“O’ Ra, bring us light, disperse the darkness, warm our cold hearts…” Lawrend whispered the chant he came up with for his Supernova spell.

Unfortunately, the same thing didn’t happen. He couldn’t continue the chant and add more lines. He was still missing something.

Ember slowly opened her eyes and groggily stared at Lawrend.

“Master?”

“Do you know how to cook?” Lawrend asked.

“I-I don’t…”

Ember covered herself with a pillow in shame. She was ashamed that she couldn’t cook. Actually, she hadn’t eaten any food ever since she became a High Mage.

It was only a waste of time. Focusing more on practicing magic was more worth it in her eyes.

“That’s fine. You don’t need to be good at everything,” Lawrend said to console her.

He was already satisfied with her great talent in magic. He would be too greedy to ask for more.

“Do you want me to learn?” Ember asked.

“No need. Learning is good, but it will affect your progress. Focus on becoming a Heaven Mage,” Lawrend replied with a shake of his head.

“I got it, Master.”

Lawrend stood up and stretched.

“Let’s go. I need to discuss what the plan is.”

Lawrend walked towards the door. He didn’t change his clothes when he entered the bed. It had always been the case because it was too much of a bother.

Ember stood up from the bed and followed him to their temporary headquarters. Julianne, Otor, and Gregory were all there.

They sat beside the office table and stood up as soon as they saw him enter inside.

“Your Imperial Majesty,” the three of them greeted.

“Mm.”

They sat back down.

Lawrend sat on the seat behind the table, and Ember obediently stood behind him.

“What is the plan? Attack them, cut them off, or launch a surprise attack?” Lawrend asked.

“The plan is to launch a pincer attack. We will coordinate with the forces in Leafy City and attack the offensive from the front and back,” Julianne replied.

“I see. What is their current situation?”

“They are okay for now. More Earth Mages from the Trunden Empire had been sent there. As of the moment, there are 12 Earth Mages from our side and 14 Earth Mages from the other side.”

“Wow. That’s quite a lot of Earth Mages,” Lawrend said.

“Mm. But we got a report that there might not only be 14 Earth Mages. Some spies in the Blumin Empire found the other Earth Mages to be missing with no news about them. The only likely explanation was that they were hiding in the offensive.”

“They are waiting for us, huh,” Lawrend replied.

“We also received news that the Crescent Empire is backed by one of the three great clans,” Julianne said.

After saying those words, she couldn’t help but glance at Ember. It wasn’t obvious to outsiders, but the three envoys knew that she was the princess of the Ignis Clan.

“That only makes this more interesting,” Lawrend said as a smile formed on his face.

The final battle would be explosive. He was curious if a Heaven Mage from the three great clans would interfere. After all, this battle was related to three empires. It was a big deal for the whole Primitus Continent.

“Your Imperial Majesty, if they get the support of the Heaven Mage, we’re done for,” Julianne said in a defeated voice.

She was very worried about that. She was telling Lawrend so he could get support from a Heaven Mage from the Ignis Clan. That would make it easier for her to sleep at night.

“Let them come. I’ve always been curious about the three great clans,” Lawrend said.

He had first heard about these three clans on the Altro Continent. They sounded very powerful from the Pillar Heaven Mage’s mouth. They were also the backing that prevented the Altro Continent from launching a massive offensive.

There were 17 Heaven Mages in the Altro Federation. It could only mean that there were at least 17 Heaven Mages from the three great clans. It was a terrifying force.

Imagine three families having the most powerful mages in the world. Not even an idiot would dare to mess with them.

Julianne wondered where Lawrend was getting his confidence from. She found that he wasn’t the type of person to boast about anything. He was calculative and always made sure that he would succeed.

It was what he did by creating that army formation for his mage army.
