Chapter 895: Proposal 6 of 13
Elena walked inside the room.
Her eyes landed on Lawrend. Like the two before her, she could see through the darkness.
As a Divine Slime, Elena had a keen sense to mana. She saw Lawrend kneeling, and the candles lit up.
With a grin, Elena arrived in front of him.
"Will you marry me, Elena?" Lawrend asked, flashing her a sly smile.
"You are the reason I became like this, Master," Elena replied her words containing multiple meanings.
She kneeled before him and grabbed one of the rings he held between his fingers. She placed it on her ring finger herself and smiled.
"I'm yours, Master. I'm your pet and now… I'm your fiancee."
Lawrend took a deep breath after hearing her bold proclamation. When he picked her up on the side of the road, he never thought he would come to face her like this.
Lawrend might've been a little dolt back then, but it somehow paid off with a beautiful woman. Her golden hair flowed down her shoulders, giving her a serene glow like a fairy visiting the human realm.
Her beautiful face stared right at him.
After making sure his heart was racing, Elena left with a smirk. She rubbed the ring made of slime cores on her finger with a satisfied smile.
The next person to enter was, naturally, Aezel. She stepped into the room with a curious smile on her face.
At this point, she already guessed what was happening.
"Fufufufu. My Master has finally decided to take responsibility?" Aezel teasingly asked.
She couldn't see in the darkness, but she sensed his presence.
The candles lit up in succession, and Lawrend asked her the important question.
"Will you marry me, Aezel?"
"What's this?"
Aezel stared at the rings Lawrend held between his fingers. They released an electrifying glow, as if they would explode with lightning at any moment.
"This is frozen lightning."
"Fufufufu. I know. I'm just teasing you, Master~ Yes. I'm yours."
Aezel went in for a kiss. It was her apology for making him wait for her answer. She knew it was a bad joke, but it was in her personality.
Lawrend might have felt a little offended, but he relented after her kiss. She left shortly after, skipping happily and filled with joy.
Humility opened the door, observing the emptiness in the room.
"Master…?"
As soon as she spoke, the candles surrounding Lawrend lit up. He kneeled with one foot down and lifted a ring carved from a rare lightning stone.
"Will you marry me, Humility?" Lawrend asked.
"Yes! M-Master!"
Humility felt overjoyed. She jumped into his embrace and stared at the two rings he made.
Lawrend took her hand and carefully inserted one into her ring finger.
"I'm so happy…"
Humility's feelings became three words. She worried a lot if she would still be his woman. It was only after accepting the divine magic from him that she redeemed herself as his woman.
"I know I have been harsh with you… I'm sorry."
Lawrend felt bad now that he saw her like this. It was his fault. He was too fixated on strength.
"I understood it, Master. I know. How could I love you so much if you're not as strong as you are now? You have worked hard. I saw it. That's why, I can't complain."
Humility stared into his eyes with emotions overflowing. Humility held his shoulders to keep him still.
She pecked him quickly and left, her hips swaying left and right.
"I'm glad she didn't get jealous…"
Lawrend swallowed a bunch of salivae. He still recalled the vibes she gave off when he first met her. She took him to her room and almost r*ped him. She was such a yandere.
And when she met Aleshia and the others, she openly talked about poisoning them. Gladly, she had changed over the years.
'She is not lonely anymore.'
Lawrend recalled the reason she had become like that. Except for her trusted aides, no one talked or socialized with her, leaving her isolated and lonely.
Her status prevented anyone from approaching her.
It was only Lawrend, who had absolutely no idea that she was the princess that approached her. Or, more accurately, he accepted her invitation when she called for him back in the classroom.
After Humility, Amene slid inside with a grin. She also had a faint guess as to what was happening.
As a member of the demihuman race, she had strong intuition. She saw the others holding their ring fingers, hiding them while smiling like idiots.
It was an easy guess.
"Nyaa!" (Yes!)
Lawrend didn't quite understand what she meant at first, but he quickly understood shortly after. He was familiar with her, after all.
"Will you marry me, Amene?" Lawrend still asked.
He said it to his other maids, so he thought that Amene deserved to hear it as well.
"Nyaa!!"
That was the only sound Amene could give Lawrend. Her excitement clouded her speech.
Lawrend pushed the diamond ring he made to fit her ring finger. It wasn't a normal diamond ring because it was literally made out of a single diamond crystal.
Other conventional diamond rings couldn't compare to such a ring. In addition, Lawrend put magic on it so that the ring wouldn't crack because diamonds were actually brittle.
"Nyaaa!!"
Amene's eyes practically glowed with excitement. She lifted her hand and stared at the ring with delight and mesmerization.
"You can go out now, Amene."
Lawrend had to remind her. She was quite out of it as she kept staring at the ring.
"Nyaa!"
Amene nodded and left. She totally lost her speech and reverted to her feline instincts.
Grape walked inside next. She stared at Lawrend with uncertainty clouding her eyes.
"Master, are you sure about me?"
Grape considered herself impure with all things considered. His other maids were mostly virgins except for Juju, who only had two children.
By comparison, she was the dirtiest as she had worked in a brothel. She was unsure if he wanted his image to be stained by marrying her.
