Lawrend's will to create a world where he could live with his maids forever contained all the love, experiences, and dreams he had for his maids. No one could match him when it came to his desire to live with them.
Lawrend blinked his eyes and looked around. It was nighttime just when he first started. Except the foliage and trees looked vastly different than before. His physical body below was covered with dirt and dried mud.
"Great. Now I have to wash up," Lawrend shook his head.
He took his planetary system back inside of his soul and returned to his physical body.
Unlike before, Lawrend sucked in mana for a long time which resulted in him creating no phenomenon except for the weird planetary system formation that happened in front of him.
"I'm an Earth Mage in my soul magic now," Lawrend muttered and opened his eyes.
He felt excited similar to a little kid receiving their first gift. He wanted to try out so many things at the moment. He first washed up and looked around and quickly found Valentina.
Because of her mana, the plant she created to disguise herself grew fast and turned into a tree.
"Come here," Lawrend said.
"Ah!" Valentina screamed.
His voice sounded directly beside her ear. It made the leaves of the tree stand on end in her fright.
She realized he had finished and she created another small bulb and shot out a sonic seed. This seed slowed down when it came near Lawrend and it landed on his open palm.

"Master, congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" Valentina shouted as soon as she got inside his body.
"Thank you. How long had I been out?"
"A whole year. Don't worry. I already explained the whole situation to everyone," Valentina answered.
Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows. A whole year was quite a long time for his little children. He was worried about their level of magic.
He opened his phoenix wings and turned into a golden and red bolt of lightning. He looked like a blur and it was hard for anyone to notice if he even passed above their heads. Alas, his incredible speed created a sonic boom that shook the area behind him. He couldn't be stealthy at that speed even if he tried to.
In under a few minutes, Lawrend returned to the imperial capital. He flew down to the training grounds.
What he saw next shocked him. The training grounds were enlargened with several enclosed facilities. It was vastly different than a year ago.
Aezel was standing not far away as she watched the whole area. She widened her eyes in happiness as soon as she saw his silhouette.
"Master!"
"I'm back. How are things?" Lawrend asked with a smile on his face.
"Mmm!!"
Aezel kissed Lawrend without answering his question. Lawrend accepted it and separated from her a few seconds later.
"You succeeded!" Aezel exclaimed.
She could feel something different about him. He felt more elusive and out of reach for her. It was as if he was a higher entity than her. As his Fallen Angel, she was particularly sensitive to that.
And pretty quickly, everyone came rushing out to meet Lawrend. His maids fell in line to hug and kiss him. Lawrend returned the gesture and gave them what they wanted.
Almost everyone wanted a passionate kiss except for Aleshia that requested to be carried in a princess's carry before kissing him.
Lawrend saw his children and widened his eyes in shock at their levels. Many of them were already Arch Mages. He blinked his eyes and wondered if he dreaming or not.
"Hahahaha! My children are all so good!" Lawrend laughed out loud.
"Fufufufu. We trained them with everything we got," Aezel replied.
"I-I used my potions to smoothen the absorption of mana into their bodies," Nao added.
"Oh? You're already that good?" Lawrend asked in surprise.
He rarely interacted with Nao recently. Each time he saw her, she kept surprising him. She didn't seem to have a stopping point when it came to her innovations in potions.
"It was all thanks to you, Master. If you didn't change my mana pathways, I wouldn't be this talented. I was able to get several inspirations from it," Nao replied.
She still wore her classic butler uniform except there was an apron at the front. There were colored stains on it from liquids she spilled while working on potions.
"That's impressive. You're an Arch Mage now too, huh."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLawrend was full of surprises today. This time skip he got unexpectedly allowed his maids to display their full potential. He glanced at the others and saw that many of them got more powerful mana compared to before.
"Yes! Thank you, Master," Nao replied and smiled happily after she heard his compliment.
Lawrend then turned his eyes to his children. Veronica, Nephilim, Eina, Hanz, Courage, Zio, and Straw were Arch Mages already. And only Law was still a High Mage.
What was surprising to him was the speed at how quickly they improved. He was still much faster than them, but their talents were clearly incomparable to the talents of the average mage.
"Ember, where is Inferno?" Lawrend asked.
"He's here, Master."
Ember walked forward while holding the hand of a little boy with scarlet hair.
"Father!" Inferno called out.
Inferno was almost three years old. It was almost time for him to practice magic too.
"Soon, you will practice magic too. Wait up, okay?"
"Yes, Father." Inferno nodded his head.
"He's quite obedient."
"Hehe. I taught him discipline early," Ember answered.
"Okay. I want to see the spells you guys and girls made."
The crowd around Lawrend dispersed. His maids walked away and his children formed a horizontal line in front of him.
"I see… Every one of you did well advancing in levels. Your mana pathways seem to be quite stable," Lawrend said as he looked at them.
"Veronica, stand in front and present your True Mage spell!"
