Chapter 613 Reuniting With The Assassin Aleshia And Ella
Chapter 613 Reuniting With The Assassin Aleshia And Ella
"Why would I lie to you, Master?" Ember replied.
"Ahahaha!" Lawrend laughed like a maniac.
"Did you already fix it, Master?"
Ember realized something from the happiness he was showing.
"Yes! I did it! Come, let's go to the capital," Lawrend said.
He grabbed Ember's hand and jumped out of the window with her. The two of them flew up to the sky.
"Let Niko know I left!" Lawrend shouted at a random member of the mage army he saw on the street.
The mage was surprised but took his order.
Lawrend and Ember flew northeast. They cut through the huge patch of forest under the Star Tail Mountain Range. In less than a day, they went over a huge land area.
"Star Tail City."
The sun was setting when Lawrend and Ember arrived at the city. It was still bustling as before. They hovered above the city and watched it.
"Master, we can return to the capital city tonight if we fly continuously," Ember said.
"We should take a rest. I will take this time to prepare myself," Lawrend replied.
They flew down and entered through the south gate of the city. They found a carriage, and they used it to arrive at an inn.
Lawrend got a room for the two of them. He immediately meditated on the bed and didn't give Ember any orders.
Ember was at a loss watching him practice magic so intently. She decided to sit beside him and contemplate her own magic. She remembered his words before and decided to improve her magic while staying as an Earth Mage.
And so, the two of them spent the whole night practicing their respective magics. They immediately left once they were done.
After more than an hour of flight, the huge old Royal Capital of Undrasil Kingdom appeared in the horizon.
They directly entered the city, and the city guards watching over had no idea that they passed through because of their speed.
The two of them directly landed in front of the Royal Castle's entrance. A royal guard was standing beside the entrance and looked over at them.
At first, he was hostile, but he quickly realized who Lawrend was.
"Your Roy– I mean, Your Imperial Highness!" the royal guard shouted and kneeled.
"How are my maids and kids?" Lawrend asked.
"There was no problem. No one came to attack them," he replied.
"Okay." Lawrend nodded his head.
Lawrend beckoned Ember, and they entered the castle.
Once inside, Lawrend was hit with nostalgia. He had stayed here for a little less than a year. He also met Ember here for the first time.
"Let's go."
Lawrend knew his destination from the back of his mind. He led the way, and they arrived in front of a door.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Who is it?" a familiar woman's voice sounded from within.
"Aleshia!"
The door opened, and Lawrend instantly recognized her. She was none other than the ex-assassin Aleshia. He had a son with her named Zio.
Zio was also the same baby that Ember tried to kidnap before.
"Master!? You're here so fast!" Aleshia exclaimed and ran for him.
She wrapped her arms around his body and sniffed his scent. Ember felt uncomfortable seeing Aleshia embrace Lawrend. After more than a month of spending alone time with him, she had grown used to being his only maid, even though she knew from the start that Aleshia had long been his maid.
Lawrend embraced her back and rubbed her head.
"How is it here?" Lawrend softly asked.
He missed them and rushed here with Ember just to see them.
"I thought it would be lonely without you here, but my sisters kept me company. We talked about you and patiently waited every day," Aleshia answered with a smile.
"That's good. How is Zio?" Lawrend asked.
"He's growing well, Master! His first birthday is pretty soon!"
"Let's go in. I want to see him."
"He's sleeping right now."
Aleshia led them inside. She walked beside a crib and stood beside it.
Lawrend peeked over it and saw Zio sleeping comfortably.
"He's grown well. So what reward do you want? I want to give one for each of you," Lawrend said as he looked at her.
Aleshia's eyes darted off, and she fidgeted with her fingers. She looked cute from Lawrend's perspective.
"I want Master to teach Zio how to become a mage on his birthday," Aleshia whispered.
"Oh?"
Lawrend was surprised at her request. At first, he assumed she would ask for something personal. It seemed like he underestimated the motherly instinct she had.
"Great. I will do so."
Lawrend was satisfied with her request. He already planned it anyway. He only needed to give more attention to Zio later.
"Where are the others?" Lawrend asked.
"They are practicing magic and sword fighting. I think Sister Elena is taking care of the other babies," Aleshia replied.
"Where is Ella?"
"She's practicing her space magic in the courtyard."
"I will go see her," Lawrend replied.
He turned around and looked at Ember before saying, "Stay here and chat with Aleshia."
"Yes, Master." Ember bowed.
Lawrend left the two of them. He was still worried about their relationship, so he decided to leave them together so they could catch up with each other.
Lawrend exited the castle through the back.
"Uh! Ah!"
He heard the sounds of a young girl moaning loudly. It wasn't the sexual one, but rather one with conviction.
"Ella."
Ella, who were holding a staff as she lifted huge rocks, felt a shiver run through her spine. She turned around and couldn't believe her eyes.
"Master!"
Ella threw her staff to the ground and jumped onto Lawrend's embrace. He crouched on the ground, so it was easier for her.
"How is your magic?" Lawrend asked.
"It's great, Master! I'm an Arch Mage already," she replied excitedly.
"You're progressing quite fast. How long do you think before you become a Grand Mage?"
"Ermmm… A year, maybe because space is so weird, Master," Ella replied.
"That's fine. I will help you become one in two months."
