Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 306 - A Sinful Angel

"W-What are you saying?" Ramiela asked, taken aback by his words.

"Where were you earlier when we were 'doing' it?" Lawrend asked.

"I was looking around the mansion," Ramiela replied.

Lawrend turned his head to Elena, and they both stared at each other in understanding.

"Really? Which room was it?" Lawrend asked her with squinted eyes.

"Why do you even want to know, human?" Ramiela asked angrily.

"I know what you said. You will observe us. Elena looked all around the mansion. Thus, you clearly lied just now. The only logical explanation would be for you to be watching us do it," Lawrend explained.

"Y-You don't have proof," Ramiela replied with a flustered look on her face.

"I saw you," Lawrend replied with his chin raised high.

He was obviously bluffing. He didn't see her, nor was he sure that she was really watching, and it was just an instinct on his part.

A flute appeared in his hand, and he played a short relaxing tune to show her his confidence.

"H-How..?"

Ramiela took sluggish steps backward as she stood from the chair. She stared at him with disbelief on her face.

"You're an angel? Might as well be a fallen angel," Lawrend said.

"N-No! You don't have proof! You can't exile me from heaven!" Ramiela shouted in a panic.

"What?" Aleshia stared at Ramiela with disbelief plastered on her face.

"S-she's shameless…" Elena said.

"Why didn't I think of that..?" Humility muttered to herself.

"Big Sister, what are they talking about?" Ella asked and tugged Aleshia's hand.

"I won't tell anyone, don't worry. Just promise me that you won't call any of your friends over," Lawrend replied to her.

"Shh… Ella. It's adult talk," Aleshia replied to Ella.

"Ha… Haha… Hahahaha! You must be forgetting that I can kill all of you right now!" Ramiela said maniacally.

"Are you really going to kill the princess of this kingdom? It might not look like it, but she's under the care of the Grand Mages and Mountain Sword of this kingdom. If you touch her, you will be hunted down before you even know it," Lawrend replied to her smugly.

"Then, I will spare her!" Ramiela replied coldly.

"If you spare me, I'll ask the Empire's Shrine to summon an angel. Then, I will reveal to the angel all of your wrongdoings!" Humility replied solemnly.

The Empire's Shrine is the shrine above the Undrasil Kingdom's Shrine. It's located in the capital city of the Star Chasing Empire, which is the empire that the Undrasil Kingdom is a vassal of.

An Empire Shrine has a lot of power. They pray and serve the Goddess faithfully. Due to their influence, they can summon an angel if they really want to.

Not to mention that reporting an angel that's gone astray has a lot of benefits. It would be considered as doing good merit for heaven, and it'd be handsomely rewarded.

"Y-You…" Ramiela looked at the five of them in anger, fear, and at a loss for words

*Fwoosh fwoosh*

A loud sound of wings flapping came from outside.

The guards outside raised their heads and stared at the magnificent white roc that slowly landed at the garden.

"Clova! Kill this girl if she kills any of us!" Lawrend shouted to the window.

"Do you not want me to protect you now?" Clova asked.

She was called here by the flute. Earlier, he used it to summon her without raising any suspicions from Ramiela.

"You'd destroy the mansion," Lawrend replied.

"Who's she?" Ramiela asked with a frown on her face.

"She's as strong as you. If you attack, she'll attack you too. Now, you don't have any choice," Lawrend replied calmly.

"Our promise won't bind me if you die," Clova replied.

"..."

Lawrend stared at her outside the window, speechless. She didn't have to say that. Now, Clova shifted the balance to Ramiela's favor.

"Heh. You human can't rely on anyone now. I'll kill all of you, capture this princess, kill her far away from the kingdom, and return to heaven," Ramiela said with a snicker on her cold face.

'F*ck!' Lawrend cursed inside his mind.

He was on the opposite edge now. She had taken the advantage. She doesn't have to fear killing them.

"Get ready, human," Ramiela said as a white halo appeared above her head.

"Go ahead! Attack me! I have a secret attack that will kill you!" Lawrend shouted bravely.

In truth, he was sweating bullets on his back. He remembered Valentina's words that she'd protect him once. At least, he doesn't have to worry that he'd die instantly.

But of course, he also doesn't want to risk hurting Valentina's soul. The only reason he was doing this was that he was pushed against the corner by the sudden turn of events.

He could only bet that Clova would save him if he shouted for it later.

"Human, do you think I'll fall for your bluff? Certainly, your power back then was impressive, but I know I can kill you with a flick of my finger," Ramiela said coldly.

"Even though I said that, if he dies, it'd be my fault. So, I'll still hunt down and kill you," Clova replied to her.

"Clova!" Lawrend shouted in relief.

She should've said that sooner. He almost thought that she was abandoning him for good.

"Annoying bird. Why are you even serving a human? You're such a lowly creature of nature," Ramiela said in annoyance.

"That's none of your business," Clova replied coolly.

"Tsk. Why are you even worried that I would call my friends over?" Ramiela asked.

"I don't know, but maybe in the future, you'd want to end this mission of yours. If you're alone, I won't have to worry that much," Lawrend replied.

The actual reason was that he didn't want her to call an even stronger angel.. Soon, he would become an Arch Mage, and his strength would be on par with a Grand Mage, and he wouldn't want her to call an Earth Mage-level angel because of that.
