Chapter 287 - Announcing The News
Aezel sat behind Lawrend and Clova spread her wings and flew up into the sky.
Suddenly, she sped up very fast. As a result, Amene fell into Lawrend\'s embrace and wrapped herself around him.
"What\'s wrong??" Lawrend asked in concern.
"Nothing. I\'m worried that you would complain that I was too slow since it\'s dark already," Clova replied.
"What? I\'m not that kind of a person. Who told you that?" Lawrend asked her with a frown on his face.
"Isn\'t all humans like that? They would look down on you once they are in a higher position," Clova replied.
"There might be some, but I\'m not one of them. Just fly calmly. You don\'t need to rush," Lawrend replied.
He wasn\'t expecting her to suddenly say that. Something must\'ve happened to her in the past.
Clova slowed her speed drastically. She glided through the air and stopped flapping her wings.
"We\'re here," Clova suddenly said.
"Already!? It hadn\'t even been a few seconds since I said that," Lawrend exclaimed in shock.
"My speed is fast enough to reach the end of the continent in a day," Clova replied.
One could tell the touch of pride in her voice.
"Wow. You\'re a good bird," Lawrend replied, genuinely impressed.
He would have never thought that a Grand Mage-level White Roc like her would be so fast. That\'s just to say that her species is naturally fast.
"Thank you for the compliment."
They softly landed on the mud road.
"You can let go of me now, Amene," Lawrend said.
"Y-Yes," Amene awkwardly replied as she slowly released him. She was feeling so embarrassed right now. She embraced him out of the blue.
Aezel jumped down and Lawrend followed after her with Amene in his embrace.
"Thank you, Master," Amene said to him gratefully.
"Let\'s head back fast. It\'s already nighttime. They might be worried about us," Lawrend said.
"Thanks for the ride."
Lawrend didn\'t forget about Clova as he waved at her. He watched as she slowly flew into the air.
"Fufufu. You need to satisfy me later, Master," Aezel said as she grabbed his hand and buried it in her bountiful breasts.
"Alright. Since you followed me and served as my protector today," Lawrend replied with a nod of his head.
"Fufufufu! That was easy, Master," Aezel replied and smiled at him.
…
After a dozen minutes, they arrived in the mansion.
"Welcome back, Master! How was your trip?" Elena greeted them at the front door.
She was wearing her maid uniform and a mop was in her hands.
"It was good. I got what I needed," Lawrend replied.
"Welcome back Sister Amene and Sister Aezel."
"We\'re back, Sister Elena."
"Nyan! You look diligent and cute today, Sister Elena," Amene said.
"Hehehehe. I do? I took your place today, Amene," Elena said.
"Ah! I\'ll make it up to you," Amene replied as she realized what she meant.
After Aezel took the job of protecting Lawrend, Amene and Grape were assigned as the new cleaners of the mansion. Since Amene came with Lawrend, someone had to take her place for the day. And that was Elena.
"No worries. I was just kidding," Elena replied with a smile.
"Gather everyone, Elena. I have an announcement to make," Lawrend said after seeing that they were done talking to each other.
"Yes, Master!" Elena replied and hurriedly left.
The three of them walked towards the dining room.
"You\'re gonna introduce Valentina to them, Master?" Aezel asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Yes. Since I already accepted her as my maid, it\'s a given," Lawrend replied.
"... Isn\'t she naked..?" Aezel asked with a whisper.
"Ahhh! Then I\'ll wear clothes now!" Valentina shouted from inside the ring.
"How do you even wear clothes?" Lawrend asked in confusion.
She was a ghost. How would she move around with clothes? She would just drop them on the ground when she returns to the ring.
"Similar to Eleanor, I can create my own clothes using my soul," Valentina replied.
"Oh, right. I forgot about that. Then there\'s nothing for us to worry about."
Thus, the three of them entered the dining room and took their seats.
One by one they arrived and greeted him. Of course, he replied to each of them to show his appreciation.
"How are you, Aleshia?" Lawrend asked.
Aleshia was holding her crotch with her hand. The pain wasn\'t that bad but every time she moved, she felt a burst of pain.
"This is nothing, Master. Compared to getting pregnant, this is nothing," Aleshia replied.
"Okay. Take care of yourself. Don\'t push yourself too far," Lawrend replied.
"I gathered all of you here to break a wonderful news," Lawrend said as he looked at each of them.
"Ohh!" x 4
"We have a new member," Lawrend said.
"Where is she?" Aleshia asked curiously.
"Is she outside?" Elena asked.
"Fufufu. You\'ll all be surprised," Aezel said with a laugh.
"Ehh? What\'s she like, Sister Aezel?" Elena asked curiously.
Aezel bowed and pointed her hands to Lawrend.
"If anyone of you except Amene and Aezel could accurately guess where she\'s at right now, I would spend a whole day with. Just the two of us," Lawrend said with a smirk on his face.
"Then she\'s not outside… Hmmm…" Elena said.
Since he didn\'t say that she was right, then that means that she must be somewhere else.
"Inside the house?" Grape said with her hand raised.
"That\'s too vague."
"Hmmm… Is she from the Regulus clan?" Humility asked.
"Nope."
The others gave their own answers, but none of them were close.
"Alright, enough. She\'s currently with me," Lawrend said with a wide smile plastered on his face.
"Huhh!?"
All of them stared at him with faces full of confusion.
