Combat Maid Harem
Chapter 264 - The Baby Dilemma

"Buzu! Master is no fun!" Elena said with a pout.

"It's really too early for me to have a kid."

Lawrend tried to reason with her. A kid at this point would only be a drag. After all, they were still yet to take the throne.

"Anyways, I'll go, Master. I still have to eat more grass," Elena said.

"Okay. Have fun eating grass," Lawrend replied with a wave of his hand.

Elena walked away and left him alone.

'That's crazy. She can give birth instantly,' Lawrend thought to himself fearfully.

"Whatever," Lawrend murmured.

He fixed his sitting position and closed his eyes. He looked inside his body and observed his golden mana.

'I wonder what's the weakness of my lightning magic? Everything I have encountered seems to be too weak for it. Only when the enemy is too strong would I be powerless,' Lawrend thought to himself.

[Lawrend, can you hear me?]

A female voice suddenly sounded inside his body.

'Eleanor?' Lawrend replied in surprise.

[Correct. It's me.]

Eleanor slowly appeared inside Lawrend's body. She was transparent and it was obvious that she's in her soul form.

'What are you doing in here?'

[I got bored. Anyway, what is this thing?]

Eleanor opened her palm and a gray ball of light floated in it.

'What is that?'

[It's a soul. Is this your soul fragment? It feels very similar to yours.]

'What!? Really?' Lawrend exclaimed in disbelief.

[This isn't yours?]

Eleanor tilted her head in confusion.

'Can I have it?'

[Sure.]

Eleanor let go of the ball of light and Lawrend focused his senses on it. He felt anger and a faint sense of life inside it.

Lawrend immediately realized who this was. It was his old self from his previous life. The one he thought he had already killed.

He opened his eyes and stood up.

"Yes! I finally found a solution to Aezel's problem!" Lawrend shouted in excitement.

He doesn't have to worry about her anymore as she could give birth to a healthy baby.

'But it might not work…' Lawrend thought with a frown.

"Master? What's wrong?"

Elena ran towards him in worry. She was still nearby when she heard him suddenly shout. It made her nervous so she checked him out.

"Where's Aezel?" Lawrend asked her solemnly.

He had to try it. If it doesn't work out, that's okay as he can replace another solution. But what if this actually worked? That'd be amazing!

"She's cleaning up your mess, Master," Elena replied.

"My mess?"

Lawrend looked at her in confusion.

"Master, did it lots with Sister Amene and Sister Grape, remember?" Elena reminded him.

"Ah, you meant that. Okay, thank you. I know where to replace her now." Lawrend smacked his palm in realization.

He ran and entered the mansion. He quickly reached the room where he 'played' with Amene and Grape. He then opened the door with a bang.

"Master!?" Aezel screamed in shock.

"Aezel! How do I transfer my soul to you so you can give birth to a healthy baby??" Lawrend asked her adamantly.

"W-What are you saying, Master?" Aezel stared at him in disbelief.

"I have an extra soul in me. How do I transfer it to you?" Lawrend asked.

"No! I won't let you sacrifice yourself! There's still a lot of time!" Aezel replied with a vigorous shake of her head.

"No, I'm not sacrificing myself. I really have another soul in me."

"You're lying! I have never heard about that before." Aezel slowly walked away from him. She was afraid that he will touch her and transfer 'his' soul to her.

'Eleanor, how do I show her the soul?' Lawrend asked her who was still inside him.

[Since it's your soul, just control it and make it float over your palm,] Eleanor replied.

'Thanks!'

Lawrend closed his eyes and did as she said. He pulled the gray soul into his open hand and made it float above his palm. It was fairly easy for him that he was surprised.

"Huh?"

Aezel stared at the gray soul in confusion. She could feel Lawrend's aura in it.

Lawrend opened his eyes and walked towards her slowly.

"Master, how are you controlling your body with your soul outside of your body!?" Aezel exclaimed in disbelief.

"As I said, this is not my soul. This is an extra soul I have," Lawrend replied.

"Extra soul? Master, you're so mysterious…"

Aezel stared at him in a daze. He was very smart in terms of his magic. She saw how he learned it really fast to the point that he even became a High Mage and finally merged her red lightning and his purple lightning.

"Before you ask me about that, try using this soul." He extended his hand with the soul on it.

Aezel touched the soul nervously. She was still worried that it was Lawrend's soul.

She touched it three times before determining that it was fine, and she took it in her hands before carefully observing it. This soul in her hands felt like her master.

"Master's soul…"

Aezel raised her head and looked at him. He looked fine and taking this soul didn't seem to affect him.

"Are you sure about this, Master? You could use this extra soul in the future," Aezel said.

"Don't worry about it," Lawrend replied.

Aezel nodded her head and placed the soul directly above her belly.

Suddenly, her belly glowed and a magic circle appeared. It sucked the gray soul inside before it dimmed again and a crotch tattoo appeared on Aezel.

"It worked!" Aezel exclaimed joyfully.

"Yes!"

Lawrend ran to her and embraced her tightly as a sense of peace overtook him. Aezel doesn't have to worry about the dilemma of killing him or killing the baby. She can have both of them.

"Master, thank you! We can be a happy family together!" Aezel said to him happily. Her eyes were filled with joy.

"Yes.. I can't wait to see our baby soon," Lawrend replied as he rubbed her back.
