Combat Maid Harem

After Nao left, Ember entered the room. She flicked her hand, and a string of flames lit up the room, starting from her and reaching the end.

"Will you marry me, Ember?"

The light from her flames illuminated Lawrend, who was holding a pair of odd-looking rings in his fingers.

"Yes, Master."

Ember maintained a calm demeanor as she walked towards him and let Lawrend put on the ring on her finger. She lifted it up and let the flames above her bring color to its features.

"This is a ring made of phoenix feathers. How?"

Ember turned to Lawrend. She couldn't contain the rumbling emotions in her heart any longer. From what she knew, phoenixes were truly extinct from the world.

"I used the Ignis Bloodline to look for remaining traces of phoenixes. This was hidden very deep in a closed cave. There was no way to access it except digging for it. The entrance had long been sealed."

"So it's from a phoenix nest?"

"Correct."

Lawrend nodded. Ember's quick analysis earned Lawrend's approval. She was smart.

"I…"

After a few seconds, Ember gave up trying to act cool. She dropped to Lawrend's level and embraced him. She tightened it slowly and gave him a kiss on the neck.

"Thank you, Master."

Ember felt satisfied. She had long been subject to Lawrend's desires. He took her for a ride of a lifetime.

"If at some point you want to let go of your phoenix bloodline, I will help you."

Reavire's words still rang in Lawrend's mind. He didn't know if Phoenix Gods from other worlds would descend onto the Human World once Ember got sufficiently close enough to godhood.

"Mm. I'm thinking about it, Master."

Ember and Lawrend stood up. They stared into each other's ears for a while before Ember turned and left.

Lawrend quickly fixed things up in the room for the next visitor.

Juju entered the room. She smirked widely.

"Master?"

She already confirmed what Lawrend had been doing.

"Will you marry me, Juju?"

The same candle formation lit up, giving the room a romantic atmosphere.

"Pfft!" Juju covered her mouth. "Jujujuju!"

She rested her back against the wall as she suppressed a giggle.

"What?" Lawrend couldn't help but ask.

"Master… The moment we intertwined with each other back then, I had already considered you my husband."

Juju shook her head as she walked to him. A sly smile on her face.

"What the hell? I got married to you first?"

"Hmmm… If we're talking about demons, Sister Aezel took the dibs first."

"Seriously?"

"Jujujuju. I know you don't care about that stuff so it doesn't matter, Master. We can marry the way humans do it."

Juju took the ring on his finger and put it on. Her answer was clear. There had been no doubt.

"Master, I might have met you when you were already quite strong, but I believe that if we met much earlier, you would have me by your beck and call sooner or later."

Juju smiled a little. She recalled secretly observing Lawrend killing a Heaven Demon and improving his Divine Magics afterward.

"Hahahaha. Thanks."

Lawrend didn't know what she was trying to say. Even as a God, the heart of women still eluded him.

After examining the silver ring on her finger, Juju took her leave. She gave Lawrend a wink and pointed at her stomach. She was proud of the baby inside of her.

And lastly, after twelve other maids(and a butler), Reavire entered the room.

Lawrend didn't turn the lights off this time. As a Goddess, she could extend her soul to the whole room and see it like it was daytime.

"Hehe. Husband?" Reavire asked, putting on an acting. "What are you doing?"

"Will you marry me again, Reavire?"

"Oh, again? Hehehehe."

Reavire giggled and approached him. She had an idea of what he wanted to do since the moment he decided to leave without any forewarning. It was an instinct belonging to the Gods.

"That universe doesn't count. Besides, I feel like I suffered too much in that other universe…" Lawrend murmured under his breath.

Recalling about it made him shudder. The horrors he had seen and experienced couldn't be explained easily.

"Doesn't count, huh? What if I say no?" Reavire retorted, feeling pissed at his insensitive words.

"I-I misspoke."

Lawrend sweated bullets. A few memories from the other universe popped back into his mind.

"You better have." Reavire looked into his eyes. The danger she emanated spoke for itself.

"Yes, Master. I will marry you."

Reavire leaned forward and kissed him. She was a little mean with him a while ago, but it was all a farce, an entertainment. She didn't really mean any of those.

After their experience in the other universe, Lawrend and Reavire gained a connection unlike any other. She was his, which was a particular fact that no one could change, even herself.

Lawrend let her kiss him. He put on the ring made of her unraveled divine Will.

For some strange reason, he found a small rock crystallized from her Will. It was a rare find, and it was only because Lawrend scoured the whole Human World that he found it.

At the same time, Reavire's aura changed. She felt fuller as the pressure she emitted consolidated into a stronger force.

She separated from Lawrend and stared at the ring. It was made of her Will, and it was precious to her. It would always remind her of what kind of Goddess she was. It would be near impossible for her to lose herself again.

"This contains a tiny sliver of my previous Will despite being mostly composed of my new Will."

After Lawrend altered Reavire's memories, her Will changed. She no longer wanted to protect the world forever. Instead, it became a Will to protect all humans and make them rule the world.

She had long accomplished such a feat. That was why she became free to leave.

Lawrend himself didn't fully understand the process. Still, it worked, and he didn't think it really mattered to investigate any further.
