The two of them stared at the grave in silence. Ember mourned her mother while Lawrend stayed silent to give her some peace.
After a dozen minutes, Lawrend tapped Ember’s shoulder. It was time for them to return.
Ember turned around, and her face was slightly teary. She wiped her face and nodded her head.
The two of them flew back to the entrance of the mansion.
“Princess, here.”
The butler passed a handkerchief to Ember.
“Ah…”
Lawrend facepalmed himself inside of his mind. He didn’t think to give her a handkerchief. He grimaced at his slowness and at the butler’s instincts. The butler certainly knew his craft.
Ember took it and wiped her face. Lawrend then held her hand, and they headed out of the estate. His children and his maids were already waiting for them there.
“Everyone seems to be here,” Lawrend said.
He scanned the group and saw that no one was missing.
“Ember, lead the way,” Lawrend ordered.
“Father, where is Brother Inferno?” Veronica asked.
“He will be staying with his grandfather till next week,” Lawrend replied.
“Fu, fu, fu. I will improve during this week then,” Veronica replied with a sonorous laugh.
The group then followed Ember’s lead as they flew to an estate not far away from this one. It was much smaller but still lavish, a mansion only an insanely wealthy family would have.
“Master, we’re here. This is the Juvenile Mansion. I used to live here when I left my father’s estate,” Ember said.
They landed at the gates, and the butler bowed at them before opening the gates. The heavy gates made clear marks on the black obsidian ground.
“Please.”
The butler bowed and urged them in.
Lawrend took the lead with Ember behind him, his other maids a step further behind, and the children tagging along from the back. Everyone looked around at the beautiful scenery in the estate’s large garden.
Unlike the previous estate, there were various different kinds of flowers with vastly different colors. The combination of them made for a peaceful scene that reflected the personality of the owner of the estate.
“Did you arrange for this garden?” Lawrend asked Ember.
“Yes, Master. These rare flowers grew in the Core of the Ignis Clan. They harness the power of fire mana and could be used for potion making.”
Lawrend was amazed at the variety of flowers. It was hard to imagine that such delicate-looking flowers could grow at the center of a volcano.
After several seconds of flight, they arrived at the entrance. The butler pushed open the door, and a row of handsome butlers greeted them.
“Welcome back, Princess!” they all greeted.
Seeing this scene reminded Lawrend of his past, and he couldn’t help but gag a little. The last time he saw this scene, he was greeted by old butlers. This time, he was greeted by handsome men.
It was even more disgusting since he was as straight as a stick. It wasn’t pleasing for him to see other men acting so subserviently.
“Mm. Take one of each of my master’s maids and guide them to their rooms with their sons and daughters,” Ember ordered.
Her aura abruptly changed to one of a leader. Even though she was wearing a maid’s uniform, she seemed like a queen. It was normal for her to act like so in front of these butlers since she was familiar with them.
The butlers lined up and bowed to Lawrend’s maids.
“Ember, order them to leave. You’re all my maids. Take their jobs instead,” Lawrend ordered.
He couldn’t let these butlers near his maids. The idea disgusted him since he loved maids the most. Nao was the only special case since she was actually a woman.
“You heard my master. GO! Disperse!” Ember shouted, slightly irritated.
Her master was displeased, so she became annoyed. She was supposed to impress her master today, not disgust him.
The male butlers felt powerless at her orders. They reluctantly nodded their heads and left.
“Princess, take care,” the butler that led them here said before he left.
“Master, what do you want us to do?” Aleshia asked.
“Take rooms near the master bedroom. I will stay there with Ember in the meantime.”
“Understood, Master.”
The group walked up the magnificent stairs, and Ember led Lawrend to the master bedroom. It had a huge bed inside that was equivalent to a whole room. If it weren’t for the large size of the bedroom, it would’ve filled the room from one side to the other.
His other maids understood their assignment and entered the rooms adjacent and beside it. As for his children, they were instructed to either follow their parents or find their own room.
Lawrend closed the door once he was inside with Ember.
“So… What do you have to say for yourself?” Lawrend asked her.
“W-What, Master?” Ember turned around, confused.
Her heart palpitated as her imagination couldn’t help but run wildly.
“You didn’t tell me you had a Heaven Mage ancestor. Everything would’ve been easy, and we could’ve come here earlier,” Lawrend said.
“Eh? But that ancestor is my father’s grandfather. He won’t necessarily help us. He might even be antagonistic since he disagreed with the Third Ancestor betrothing me to you before I left,” Ember explained.
“Hmm… I see. Then let’s rest. I want to sense the mana in this place.”
Lawrend gave up trying to find an excuse to punish her. It didn’t matter to him in the first place.
“Master, if you want, you can punish me any time,” Ember said and blushed.
She turned away, not letting him see how red her face was. Unfortunately for her, Lawrend could tell from the pinkness of her neck.
“Oh? Are you that horny?” Lawrend teased her.
“W-What! You’re the one that obviously wanted to do it!” Ember complained in shock.
“I’m kidding. For now, I will try to absorb fire mana. I want to see how fast I can do it here,” Lawrend replied.
“Are you sure, Master?” Ember asked and pulled up the side of her skirt, revealing her smooth and slender legs.
“Yes,” Lawrend smirked at her.
Ember realized that Lawrend was teasing her on purpose. She blushed and sat on the bed.
Lawrend followed and sat behind her on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her body and leaned forward.
