Fast forward one month.

Lawrend spent that time helping his maids take care of his children. Although he was their Master, they were ultimately his lovers. He needed to show his love to his children as their father.

This time, Lawrend flew to the northeast with Aezel and Humility.

“I’m so jealous…” Aezel muttered under her breath.

She followed behind Lawrend. He was carrying Humility in a princess carry. It was a prime spot that she would do anything to take.

“Master…”

Humility stared at Lawrend in a daze. It had been an hour since they left the inn, but she was still focused on his face. She was so mesmerized by his gaze.

“Mm. I’m your Master,” Lawrend replied.

She had been repeating ‘Master…’ over and over. No matter what Lawrend responded with, she would still be in a daze. That was why Lawrend just responded with anything he could think of.

“Humility, we have been flying for so long now. Where is this city that you spoke of?” Lawrend asked.

His vision was very good. It would be hard for him to miss any city in the huge plains and forests below him.

“Master, just keep going. I like to admire your face more,” Humility replied.

“…”

That was when Lawrend realized that she was fully aware this whole time. She just chose to stare at his face. It made him not know what to do with her.

Why were all of his maids so helpless? Surely, he didn’t fall in love with them because they were like that.

“Fufufufu,” Aezel laughed.

Lawrend ignored the two of them and focused on flying.

After ten more minutes, a huge city appeared on the horizon. Many roads also appeared in their surroundings. Countless carriages were moving through and fro.

“This city is even bigger than the capital city. Is this place perhaps as powerful as an Empire?” Lawrend asked in wonder.

“Correct, Master. This city is called the City of Pillar,” Humility answered.

“City of Pillar? What a weird name. Why is that the name?”

“This city is about 5000 years old. They say that it was because there is a huge pillar at the center. No one knew where it came from, but it had always been there,” Humility explained.

“A pillar? Interesting.”

Soon they arrived at the city gates. They didn’t fly inside as it was obvious from their past experience that there would be prevention against flight.

“Who are you three?” the city guard asked.

Lawrend looked at the mana inside the guard’s body. He was at least a Hill Sword. (Equivalent to Arch Mages)

“I’m Lawrend. These are my maids, Aezel and Humility,” Lawrend replied.

After realizing that this guard was a Hill Sword, Lawrend turned his head and looked at the other guards stationed here. They were also Hill Swords, and some of them were even Arch Mages.

“Lawrend, Aezel, and Humility… Enter.”

The city guard took note of their names on a notebook before he let them go. It was a process much simpler compared to Undrasil Kingdom’s Capital City.

Once inside, they were greeted with a huge crowd. Most of them were lining up to buy from the shops near the gate. It was so congested that the carriages could barely move.

“I didn’t expect there to be traffic in this city,” Lawrend said.

“Why don’t we look, Master?” Humility asked.

She was interested in them. Not only were their mages falling in line, there were also swordsmen. The goods in the shop should be very good.

“I don’t know about that.”

Lawrend eyes trailed the line of people, and he saw it continue to a corner of the street. And then another line of people stretched into it. It wasn’t hard to guess that the line was so long that it took several streets.

“Maybe next time…” Humility smiled wryly.

They continued walking through the streets and encountered many shops that many people lined up.

“Where is the competition held?” Lawrend asked as they walked.

“It’s held at the South Pillar Stadium,” Humility replied.

“South Pillar? There is more than one pillar?”

“I don’t know, Master.”

“Well, whatever. Let’s go find a coachman,” Lawrend said.

There was no use thinking about it. They will head there anyway.

Lawrend waved his hand to one of the carriages passing by, and it stopped for them.

“Good day, young lads. Where are we headed?” the coachman asked.

“South Pillar Stadium,” Humility answered.

“South Pillar? Oh, right. The annual competition is today.”

“Do you know more about it?” Lawrend asked.

“I watched one seven years ago. I want to say that I learned something from it, but they were too strong that I only saw bright flashes of light…” the coachman replied bitterly.

“What is the prize for the winner?” Lawrend asked.

“The prize is amazing. The Pillar Heaven Mage will answer any question you have as long as it is reasonable. Many Grand Mages managed to become Earth Mages because of that chance,” the coachman said.

His eyes were shining with excitement and admiration.

“Pillar Heaven Mage?”

“Huh? You don’t know about him? Wait… You’re from the Primitus Continent!?” the coachman exclaimed in shock.

He noticed that Lawrend’s mage uniform was different from anyone else’s. He first thought that it was just his normal clothes, but it was clearly made for mages.

“Yeah.” Lawrend nodded his head.

“There are seventeen states in the Altro Continent. Each of them has a state city. For example, this city is the state city of the Pillar State. The Pillar Heaven Mage is the ruler and representative of this city in the federation,” the coachman explained.

“Wow. It’s so much different from back home,” Lawrend replied.

He was amazed to learn new things.

“I heard that your continent still has kingdoms and empires. I personally think that that is an outdated form of civilization. You guys should change it,” the coachman said.

Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure. No one liked hearing someone badmouth their birthplace.
