Chapter 279: A Happy Occasion (1/2)

”Ahh!”

Aleshia screamed.

”What? Did I hurt you anywhere??” Lawrend asked her with a face filled with worry.

”N-No. Master was just too… dashing…” Aleshia said.

”Oh, of course. Come on. I'll get you cleaned up,” Lawrend replied calmly.

”Geez. You didn't even deny it, Master,” Aleshia said as she pouted.

”Hahahaha. I'm joking,” Lawrend replied with a laugh.

He carried her to the bathroom and gently placed her inside the bathtub.

”Ahh… The water is so warm…”

Aleshia relaxed and rested her head on the side.

”Wet your body. I will wash your body with soap,” Lawrend said.

”W-Wash me!?” Aleshia exclaimed in shock.

”Huh? Isn't that why I'm here?” Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

”I can do it myself, Master. I'm an assassin, remember?” Aleshia said with a flustered look on her face.

”Don't tell me you're embarrassed at this point? We already did it so many times,” Lawrend said to her in disbelief.

Aleshia stayed silent and slowly sank into the water.

”*Sigh* Alright. You can clean yourself,” Lawrend said.

He picked up the soap and loofa and placed them beside her.

”Thank you, Master,” Aleshia said as she watched him leave the room.

”You're welcome,” Lawrend replied before he left the room.

…

”She didn't let you bath her, Master?” Aezel asked Lawrend in shock.

”Yes. I think she's embarrassed,” Lawrend replied.

”Hehhh… She's like a maiden in love,” Aezel commented.

”Hahahaha. Maybe.”

The two of them sat on the bed and waited for almost half an hour.

”Master! I'm done,” Aleshia shouted from the inside.

Lawrend stood up and walked towards the bathroom. He opened the door and saw her smiling at him.

”Master, carry me again!” Aleshia said.

”Of course,” Lawrend replied.

He walked towards her and lifted her out of the bathtub. Aleshia pressed her hands and body against him. She felt his warmth silently.

”Are you okay, Aleshia?” Lawrend asked her, perplexed.

”Master, I love you,” Aleshia suddenly replied.

”I love you too. What's wrong?” Lawrend asked her in concern.

”I'm happy. I think I should be pregnant,” Aleshia replied.

”How did you know?” Lawrend asked her in shock.

”Sister Humility taught me her technique… I confirmed it just now,” Aleshia replied.

”T-That's great! Congratulations, Aleshia!” Lawrend exclaimed happily.

At long last, her wish was finally granted. She doesn't have to feel envious that the others were already pregnant.

”Geez. Why are you congratulating me, Master? It's our baby!” Aleshia said as she looked at him like he was an idiot.

”Yes, yes. I'm just happy for you,” Lawrend replied.

”Mm… Thank you for granting me my reward,” Aleshia said as she snuggled close to him again.

”I'll bring you to the bed now. It's already chilly, right?” Lawrend said to her before he turned around and carried her out of the bathroom.
