Combat Maid Harem

"Mmm—!"

Humility savored her kiss with Lawrend. She missed him so much. There were so many things she wanted to do with him right now.

"Hahh…"

Humility released Lawrend with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Did you already fix your problem down there?" Lawrend asked Humility.

"Hehehehe. Before I tell you, I'll show you something, Master!" Humility replied with a wide smile on her face. She grabbed Lawrend's hand and pulled him inside the room they came from.

"I almost forgot. Is this your mansion, Humility?" Lawrend asked her in curiosity.

"Yes, and No," Humility replied with a carefree smile.

"Huh?"

Once they entered the room, Lawrend saw a middle-aged man. He was looking at Lawrend in surprise. He was sitting on one end of a very large circle table.

"Uh? Who are you?" Lawrend couldn't help but ask, seeing that he was staring at him intently.

"Forgive my rudeness. My name is Henry Ulford. I'm one of the King's Royal Advisors."

Henry introduced himself to Lawrend respectfully.

"The king's Royal Advisor!?" Lawrend exclaimed in shock.

"Master, here. Sit here," Humility interrupted Lawrend and sat him on a chair.

"Huh?"

Lawrend looked at the armrest of the chair before looking behind him.

It wasn't just a chair! It was more akin to be a throne. The other chairs surrounding the table don't even have designs.

"What the hell!?" Lawrend shouted in shock.

"That's where you will sit, Master. For now, just listen to our meeting," Humility said to him.

Meanwhile, Aleshia brought Amene and Grape inside the room.

"So you are Master's new maids…" Aleshia murmured as she scanned them from head to toe.

"Master's taste is not bad. I like the both of you," Aleshia said to them with a satisfied look on her face.

"Thank you." Amene and Grape bowed to her.

As for the rest, they stood behind Aleshia and stared at the two cats curiously.

After nodding her head to the two, Aleshia turned around.

"Ehem. Sorry for the interruption Royal Advisor Henry," she said to him.

"No worries. It was Master Lawrend, after all," Henry replied calmly.

"???"

Lawrend stared at the two of them with question marks floating above his head. He couldn't make sense of why the Royal Advisor is being so respectful to him.

"Very well. Everyone, please sit down. Let's continue the meeting, shall we?" Humility said as she looked at everyone inside the room.

"The two of you can sit beside me," Aleshia said to Amene and Grape.

Amene and Grape listened to her and sat on the chairs beside her.

As for Elena and Aezel, they sat close to Lawrend. Humility was the last one to sit down.

In total, there were eight seats and Lawrend sat on the grandest one. Henry sat directly in front of Lawrend.

"So, Mistress Humility, I have already convinced the other Royal Advisor of the king. He would assist us in the coup," Henry said to her.

"That's good progress. As for the data on where the two princes will be next month?"

"Wait!? Coup!? What is going on here, Humility?" Lawrend asked her in shock and disbelief.

He didn't expect that a princess would be involved in something like this.

"Master, this is the only solution I could think of for us to be able to marry," Humility replied.

"What?"

Lawrend was shocked hearing her words. A coup is not some normal matter. It involves the whole kingdom. The amount of power just in the capital city is enough to make Lawrend feel fearful. What about the surrounding and far cities? There would surely be other powerful mages and swordsmen. Once they come back and resisted the coup, they are all dead.

"Don't worry, Master. I'm gathering the support of many people. I will make sure that this coup happens smoothly," Humility reassured him with a smile on her face.

"No, no, no. What if the king finds out??" Lawrend asked her with worry etched onto his face.

"He won't." Humility shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows.

"The king left the capital city. He's currently at the Imperial Capital," Humility answered.

"Seriously?"

Lawrend was still skeptical of this whole operation. Surely, there are others in the Royal Castle that are against this.

"Seriously," Humility replied. "Anyways, how about the Kurela City down south? Did you get their support?" she asked Henry.

"They want to meet a representative. A mistress, preferably," Henry replied.

"Huh… They must be curious about us. They want to test us first," Humility thought out loud.

"Are we gonna send someone?" Henry asked her.

"Of course. How about me and Master go there?" Humility replied.

"Hey! I know what you're planning, Sister Humility," Aleshia said to her with a frown visible on her face.

"Hehehehe. What are you talking about, Sister Aleshia?" Humility laughed.

"You want to spend time with Master alone. Stop playing dumb," Aleshia replied.

"You got me. Hehehehe. Alright. How about all of us then?" Humility suggested.

"No way. There are too many of us. I suggest you go there alone. After all, you are the princess. Even if you're planning to a coup, they won't dare kill you unless they have concrete proof," Aleshia said to her.

"...Fine."

Humility could only nod hearing Aleshia's logical words.

"Huh? I thought you're not good academically, Humility?" Lawrend couldn't help but ask after watching them.

"That's still true, Master," she replied truthfully.

"No way. You sound like you know a lot about politics," Lawrend said to her in disbelief.

"Oh. I'm good at politics, Master. Just not academically," Humility replied with a smirk.

"What the… So you're really serious about making me king?" Lawrend asked her in disbelief.

"Yes. This is why I want to ask Master to hurry up and become an Arch Mage before next month. It's a requirement set by the Empire that the Kingdom must have an Arch Mage King," Humility explained.

"I just became a High Mage the other day… That's impossible," Lawrend replied with a shake of his head.
