Chapter 145: Fifth Maid Acquired (?) ? (1/2)
”W-What are you saying, Humility?”
Lawrend asked her nervously.
”Are you scared that I'm not a virgin? I'll show you!”
Humility guessed Lawrend's thoughts. She held her panty and was about to pull it down.
”Waittttt!” Stop!!!”
Lawrend shouted at her.
”What is it, Lawrend?”
Humility stared at Lawrend blankly.
”Why are you removing your panties? Don't you know that you can't just show it to anyone?”
Lawrend asked her nervously. He doesn't think that the king would take it well if he hears about this.
”You're my master now. I can do this, right?”
Humility said to Lawrend with a tilt of her head.
”No! It doesn't work like that. I haven't even approved of you to be my maid.”
Lawrend shook his head.
”Why?! Aren't I beautiful enough? Lawrend, tell me that you love me!”
Humility sat back down on Lawrend. She gripped his collar and stared into his eyes crazily.
”You're scaring me, Humility.”
Lawrend said to her in a shaky voice.
”I… No… I'm sorry, Lawrend…”
Humility broke down when she heard Lawrend's words. She clawed at her hair anxiously.
”Humility, are you okay?”
Lawrend asked her worriedly.
This was the first time that he saw her expressing such emotions. Something tragic must've happened in her life for her to become like this.
”I… Am I scary?”
Humility asked Lawrend in anxiety.
”First, let go of me.”
Lawrend said to her.
”Okay.”
Humility stood up and sat on the floor beside Lawrend.
”Thank you.”
Lawrend said to her. He stood up and looked down at her.
”Lawrend, am I scary?”
Humility asked him again with a pleading expression on her face.
”You aren't. Tell me, why are you like this?”
Lawrend sat beside her. He gently rubbed her back.
”Lawrend…”
Humility moved and embraced him. She wrapped her arms around his shoulder.
”I want you to stay with me, Lawrend…”
Humility whispered into his ear.
”Did they leave you alone?”
Lawrend asked her softly.
”...”
Humility didn't reply, but Lawrend knew that he was right. That's because he could feel her embrace tightening.
”Why did you approach me when we first met?”
Lawrend asked her curiously.
”...I thought you were interesting.”
Humility replied to him with a murmur.
”Interesting?”
Lawrend repeated her words in confusion.
”Mm. You seem to know the Lightning Empress and you look cool.”
Humility nodded her head.
”I see.”
Lawrend rubbed her hair. His fingers ran down her long silky black hair.
”Hehhh?? Hehhhh????”
Humility became confused.
”I'll be your friend until you don't want me to.”
