Combat Maid Harem

"Haaaaaahhhh!"

Ember made some hand signs and released a palm attack toward him. A small fire phoenix flew and hit his finger.

Something bizarre happened. Red tendrils crawled through the body of the fire phoenix, and a small gust of wind blew its ashes away.

"Impossible!" Ember exclaimed.

Not only her. The mages in the capital were shocked.

"That was made purely of mana! The Combat Maid Harem King burnt it to ashes!"

"I didn't know fire can burn fire!"

Lawrend himself was surprised too. He didn't expect that his Fire Disintegration spell was this powerful. He never thought about trying to use it against fire.

Ember quickly regained her calm and pointed a finger toward him.

"Star Phoenix!"

Five phoenixes as big as her appeared around Lawrend and shot toward him at full speed.

Lawrend was alarmed, and he quickly imagined a thunderstorm shield around him. His golden lightning shot out of his body and formed this thunderstorm shield. This was the same shield that Aezel used before to protect herself from Lawrend's Lightning Beam spell.

The difference was that it fully covered Lawrend in a sphere.

As soon as the thunderstorm shield was formed, the phoenixes hit his shield. It shook, and a thunderous boom resounded around him. The five phoenixes were shot backward due to the reaction of his golden lightning and the phoenix fire.

"Just hide inside, brat! I have a surprise for you!" Ember shouted.

She took out her staff and pointed it to him. On its top was a huge red crystal.

"O' phoenix, heed my call, follow the swirls of the wind, the call of nature, make a storm, and rebirth, Nirvana Flames Storm!"

A huge amount of fire mana shot out from her staff and gathered the fire mana in the surroundings. They surrounded Lawrend's thunderstorm shield and turned into a white flame.

*SCREEEECH!*

A phoenix cry sounded from inside and the flames swirled around and formed a tornado with Lawrend at the center.

"Lesson learned, brat!" Ember sneered.

"Fire and Lightning!"

Lawrend dispersed his thunderstorm shield and used his newfound ideas.

With fire in one hand and lightning in the other, he smashed them together, and a powerful shockwave spread out. It knocked the Nirvana Flames Storm out of sync and dissipated it.

Lawrend's body turned into lightning, and he suddenly appeared in front of Ember.

"No!"

Ember was scared. That spell was her Earth Mage spell. It should have burnt him to a crisp, and only then would she stop her spell. It was out of her expectations that he could survive it.

Lawrend grabbed her cheeks and slowly poured his fire and lightning mana inside her face.

"Surrender!" Lawrend shouted.

Ember's face turned cold, and she stopped moving.

"There's always a higher mountain!" Lawrend said.

"This will not be the end of this, brat!" Ember shouted at his face.

Lawrend's face darkened.

He swung his hand and slapped her on the face.

*Pah!*

The mages watching were shocked by his actions. They stared at him in a daze. Such a beautiful lady was slapped by him.

"How dare you!"

Ember didn't dare to move, but she seethed in anger.

"In this kingdom, I'm the king! If you're going to act arrogant, don't do it in front of me!" Lawrend shouted.

"Brat, I will punish you in the clan after we return!" Ember threatened.

"Hoh? Who says I'm going to return to the clan with you?" Lawrend sneered.

He was not a pushover. He wouldn't go to the Ignis Clan until he finished his business here.

"If you don't return, I will destroy your kingdom!"

*Pah!*

Another slap was given to her. The audience gasped. Even Lawrend's maids were surprised to see his anger.

"I dare you to say that again, or I will strip you naked in front of everyone!" Lawrend angrily threatened.

Fear flashed in Ember's eyes, and she shut up. Her body trembled as she stared into his eyes. Her instincts were telling her that he was serious.

She was a high phoenix that looked down on the masses. She would be humiliated till she had nothing left if he stripped her of her clothes.

"Be obedient, and nothing bad will happen to you," Lawrend said.

He released her and grabbed her hand.

Ember was clearly unwilling to let him hold her hand, but she didn't resist him. This was his way of controlling her. He doesn't dare release her, or she could attack once again.

Lawrend pulled her back down to the royal castle.

"Master, who is she?" Aezel asked.

She was full of curiosity because of the lady's beauty. Not to mention that she also had the same hair color and eye color as her.

"She's a relative."

"*Sniff* *Sniff* Ahh! A demon! You bastard, did you betray humanity!?"

Ember smelled the unique scent of demons on Aezel's body. Even if she had already become a fallen angel, some of her characteristics never disappeared from her body, such as her horns and her smell.

"Relax, she's my maid," Lawrend replied.

Ember clearly didn't believe him, but she saw the maid uniform Aezel was wearing.

"What are you all looking at?" Ember snorted at his maids.

Lawrend shook his head in disappointment. It seemed like this relative of his was a hotheaded arrogant princess. He felt a headache coming up now that she was here.

Just their first meeting led to a fight. How would it end up later on? He could already foresee their countless fights in the future.

"Behave, or I will strip you!" Lawrend threatened.

"Do you dare?"

"Oh?"

Lawrend raised an eyebrow.

Ember immediately became silent. She didn't dare to continue.

"As long as you behave yourself, I won't mistreat you," Lawrend said.

He flew back inside with his maids following behind him. It was clear from their faces that they were all curious about her.

They entered the dining room and sat on the chairs. Lawrend sat Ember on the seat closest to him and kept holding her hand.
