"What?"


    Rami''s eyes turned round as she couldn''t believe Lawrend''s words. She was used to being mad at the Goddess, so she didn''t know who to hate now that it wasn''t her.


    "I failed to be a Heaven Mage simply because I wasn''t good enough," Lawrend exined.


    "If anyone is more eligible to be a Heaven Mage, it is you, Master."


    Rami couldn''t ept his words. She believed that he would one day stand in the same position as the Goddess. He was her God, and he was very talented. She was sure that he would one day be a Heaven Mage.


    "Thank you, but it is the truth."


    Lawrend got up and walked out of the room.


    "Master!" Aezel called out and embraced him.


    She was waiting by the door with anxiousness. She was ready to rush it at a moment''s notice from Rami. If needed to be, she would offer her life to save him from the Goddess.


    Thus, seeing him safe and sound allowed her to rx and put her scary thoughts away. She sniffed his shoulder and confirmed that it was really him.


    "Gather everyone. I will tell them I will practice in seclusion for a week. I will do my best to try to be a Heaven Mage again," Lawrend said.


    "Understood, Master."


    Aezel reluctantly released him from her embrace. She hurriedly left to call the others.


    Lawrend returned to the room and sat on the bed with his legs crossed.


    Rami felt sad seeing the solemn look on Lawrend''s face. She wanted him to seed and be a Heaven Mage. Seeing him be this sad annoyed her.


    ''I want to help Master…'' Rami thought to herself.


    She strengthened her determination to be stronger. If she couldn''t help him be a Heaven Mage, she must at least be powerful enough to give him a rxed lifestyle. In her mind, her God deserved to live much, much better than she was.


    The others soon entered the room. They each came forward and embraced Lawrend. All of their faces were stered with expressions of relief.


    "Master, are you sure?" Ember asked.


    Aezel had already told the others what was going to happen. They were all frustrated that they couldn''t help him be a Heaven Mage.


    "Yes. I want all of you to stop worrying about it. I will one day be a Heaven Mage. I already know what to do the next time I have the opportunity," Lawrend replied.


    He looked into each of their eyes and nodded his head. He wanted them to put their trust in him. They might be his maids, but they were still his lovers. He didn''t want them to worry needlessly.


    "I understand, Master. We will pray for your sess," Aleshia replied as she took a step forward.


    The others voiced their agreement with her words.


    Lawrend was grateful for their support. He waved for them to leave the room, and they bowed before leaving.


    "Master, good luck," Rami said before she left the room and closed the door.


    "*Sigh* It''s getting harder and harder to improve," Lawrend muttered to himself.


    It was very easy to be a Beginner Mage, but it was very hard to be a Heaven Mage. It made sense, or everyone would already be Heaven Mages. Nheless, Lawrend wouldn''t let this one setback hold him back.


    He closed his eyes and immediately went into meditation. He attempted to re-enter that state of epiphany he had before.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    …


    A few days passed by, but nothing good came out of it. Lawrend felt slightly frustrated. No matter how hard he tried, the feeling never came back. It was as if it was just a one-time opportunity.


    He stopped and stared outside the window. The sun rose over the horizon and cast its warmth over thends. Lawrend hoped that this would trigger another epiphany, but it still didn''te again.


    Left with little hope, Lawrend continued his meditation. Every morning he would open his eyes and watch the sunrise.


    Soon, a week passed by. It was time for thepetition. Lawrend despondently shook his head and got up from bed.


    He walked out of the room.


    Everyone was waiting for him. Their eyes lit up when he came out, but they immediately dimmed after they realized that he didn''t seed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Don''t worry. It''s not the end yet." Lawrend smiled.


    "We believe in your sess, Master," Aleshia replied.


    "Fathew, you will seed one day!" Eina shouted behind Elena.


    "Yes! Father is very talented!" Veronica chimed in.


    "Thank you."


    Lawrend smiled gleefully at his children. He was a bit sad about his inability to enter an epiphany, but hearing his children''s words encouraged him to try harder.


    "Alright. Let''s fetch Inferno."


    …


    The group left the Juvenile Estate and arrived before the main estate.


    "Lawrend, Ember, wee back."


    Paeia was waiting for them at the gate. He smiled at the two of them. Unlike before, he was friendlier.


    "Father! Inferno!" Ember joyfully eximed.


    She was happy to see the change in her father''s attitude. She went over and grabbed Inferno''s hand. She bent down and patted his head.


    "How was it with Grandfather?" Ember asked the little kid.


    "Grandpa spoiled me a lot, Mommy," Inferno replied with a wry smile on his face.


    His maturity was very odd for the small shape of his body and his young age, but Ember was already used to that, so she smiled happily. She was d her father liked her son.


    For her, that meant it was worth it to officialize her rtionship with Lawrend by meeting her Father.


    "This kid will win thepetition for sure," Paeia said with a faint smile on his face.


    During Inferno''s stay, he learned what level Inferno was at. He was shocked a lot because he was even more talented than Ember, who he had already ced on a very high pedestal within his mind. He was familiar with the other talented kids in the uingpetition, so he knew the others would only be fighting for the second ce since Inferno would own the first ce.


    "I will win second!" Veronica shouted from behind Aezel.
