Chapter 433 - Aftermath (1/2)

”Beloved Master?” Lawrend repeated her words in confusion as he embraced her.

In the time he spent with her, he never heard her call him that way. It felt odd for him.

”I-I just thought to call you that…” Aleshia replied with a red face.

She was so worried about him that she called him differently.

”Big Sister,” Ella called out.

She hugged her from behind.

”Are you okay, Ella??”

Aleshia turned around and looked at the exhausted Ella. She used up a lot of her space mana earlier to contain the plant mage.

”Big Sister, I feel very tired…” Ella muttered.

Aleshia embraced her tightly.

Lawrend suddenly remembered something and looked up at the sky. He saw the previous king sneakily flying away.

”Aezel, we forgot someone. Take care of him,” Lawrend ordered solemnly.

”Yes, Master!” Aezel responded.

She flew to the sky and quickly caught up to the previous king. Her hand glowed with powerful lightning, and she touched the previous king's back.

Without any suspense, he glowed brightly before exploding into a large explosion. His flesh turned to burnt meat that looked like black rocks as they scattered at the surface below.

Humility watched all of it with her eyes wide open and looked away without any change of emotion on her face.

”Master!”

Amene and Grape took this chance. They ran up to him and embraced him together.

”Amene and Grape…”

Lawrend was happy that they were okay. The fight happened directly above the Royal Castle. There was a high chance that the fight might have hit them.

”Thanks to the defensive spell set up around the Royal Castle, we were able to stay safe,” Amene said.

”I'm glad all of you are safe.”

Lawrend released them after they embraced for a while.

”Master… Thank you for freeing me,” Humility said and embraced him from behind.

Lawrend was surprised by her, and he placed his hand over her hands.

”Aren't you… hurt that I killed your Father and Grandfather?” Lawrend asked with a heart filled with worry.

”I… Master, ever since I met you, I envied that you have freedom. Then before I knew it, I fell in love with you… Right now, you and my sisters are the only ones that matter to me,” Humility whispered.

She was relieved, but at the same time, she wasn't sure if it was the correct outcome.

Lawrend gripped her hands tightly to ease her worries.

”Don't worry. I will not waste this opportunity you gave me. I will make this kingdom better than ever,” Lawrend replied to her.

”Master… That will indeed make me happy.”

She leaned on his back and pecked his right cheek. She then ran away and entered the castle.

”Hehehehe.”

”...”

Lawrend watched her leave with a slight smile on his face. As long as she was happy, he was happy.
