Combat Maid Harem

"Ella, why don\'t we go visit Verkoli?" Lawrend asked with a slight smile on his face.

Verkoli was someone who deserved his respect. Even though he knew about the possible potential of Ella\'s space magic, he never revealed it to anyone.

Even after Ella betrayed him by not objecting to Lawrend killing him. Instead, he gave her a parting gift.

A man of virtue and dignity. Lawrend wanted to meet him again.

"Okay, Master," Ella replied.

She was slightly confused why he would want to visit Verkoli. In her mind, they weren\'t on the same side anymore.

"Master, can I follow you?" Aleshia asked.

"Sure," Lawrend replied.

And so, the four of them left the Royal Castle in the Royal Carriage. They headed to the Undrasil Magic Academy.

After several minutes, they arrived at its gate because everyone avoided slowing them down.

The moment Lawrend walked out of the carriage, everyone around instantly recognized him. They started whispering to each other while glancing at him from time to time.

The students that were hanging around the entrance of the academy avoided their group as they entered inside.

After walking for a few minutes, Verkoli walked towards them from afar. He looked solemn, and he held his staff in his hand.

"Your Highness, what is your business here?" Verkoli asked in a heavy voice.

Lawrend stopped and his maids behind him also stopped.

"I\'m here to thank you, Mr. Verkoli," Lawrend said with a smile on his face.

"T-Thank?" Verkoli was taken aback by his words.

"Yes. I want to thank your clan for accepting Feli, and for you to take care of me and Ella in the academy," Lawrend said and lightly bowed to him.

Verkoli opened his mouth in shock. He looked at Ella, who was standing beside Lawrend.

Seeing that he was looking at her, Ella nodded her head.

Lawrend raised his head.

"I also want to thank you for sending Ella\'s new staff. It would be helpful for her."

"No problem. She was my student for a while, and I wanted to give someone like her a boost in her path to magic. I\'m glad it pleased you," Verkoli replied.

"Do you have a piece of paper on you?" Lawrend asked.

"Ah, yes…"

Verkoli nodded his head and threw a roll of sheepskin to Lawrend.

Lawrend unfurled it and started writing on it. He used his fingers, and it shot arcs of golden lightning that etched the surface of the sheepskin.

A few minutes later, he finished. He then threw the scroll back to Verkoli.

"That contains my Shock Arc Spell and my Lightning Sprite Spell."

"Really!?" Verkoli exclaimed in shock.

Although those two spells were only for Beginner Mages and True Mages, it would be very helpful in his research to create lightning spells. That was because these two spells were connected. The Lightning Sprite Spell was made using the Shock Arc Spell as the foundation.

"Yeah. You deserve it," Lawrend said to him with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Verkoli bowed to him with a smile on his face.

Not only did that sheepskin contain the chant for the spell, but it also contained a detailed description of the spell. It would help the caster build an image of the spell in their mind, which would make it easier to understand how it works.

"Ella, this might be the last time you would see him. Say your goodbye," Lawrend said as he sideglanced at her.

Ella, Aleshia, and Aezel looked shocked. They never heard of his plans to leave yet. This was the first time they were hearing it.

Verkoli was also shocked. He expected Lawrend to stay longer.

He glanced at Aezel and Aleshia\'s stomach. The bulge on their stomachs might not be easily noticeable, but Verkoli could clearly feel the life inside them. He assumed before that he would stay longer to wait for them to give birth.

Ella walked forward and deeply bowed to Verkoli.

"Teacher, thank you for teaching me," Ella said with a smile on her face.

"Ella… I\'m glad that you have a bright future ahead of you. I\'m happy that you will be able to use the lessons I taught you," Verkoli said with a slight smile on his face.

Aleshia went behind Ella and nudged her back.

With that push, Ella ran to Verkoli and embraced him. As for Verkoli, he embraced her back and rubbed her head.

A minute later, the two of them separated.

"Mr. Verkoli, tell Joseph that I won\'t marry Nimela. And also, tell Nimela that she can visit the Royal Castle to see Ella. I will stay here till my children are born," Lawrend said.

"I understand," Verkoli replied with a nod of his head.

The students around them watched in awe. Some of them teared up from seeing the parting of Verkoli and Ella.

Lawrend and his maids quickly returned to the Royal Castle.

"Master, why won\'t I be able to see Teacher again? Won\'t we stay till the Big Sisters give birth?" Ella asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"I will go and try to become a Grand Mage at this time, and I don\'t want anyone of you to come into harm. No one would be allowed to leave the Royal Castle," Lawrend answered.

This was something Lawrend thought as he tried to become a Grand Mage last night. He became worried for his maids, and he also didn\'t want to travel around with his maids pregnant.

"Master…"

Aleshia and Aezel felt the determination in Lawrend\'s eyes. He was set on becoming a Grand Mage, and he doesn\'t feel confident about it.

He would train determinedly to protect his maids and his future.
