In the [[March 2018 general election]], Llorens was comfortably elected as one of seven Senators to the [[9th General Assembly]]. During the term, he passed a number of uncontroversial pieces of legislation, such as the enshrining of regional designs and increasing the Senator population ratio from 1:10 to 1:12, but he faced obstacles with requiring General Assembly votes on all ministerial appointments in the Executive Article Act (failed 6-8 in a referendum) and adopting a new Condorcet-modelled election counting system (passed 9-7 in a referendum).
 
It was during this period that he also served briefly as the only Minister of Culture in the region's history to host the Culture Competitions, a responsibility handed on in later years to the Minister of Information, as well as the Minister of Archives to manage the wiki (rather than the regional newspaper, as the title had been formally used for). The wiki, which followed a [https://theleftistassembly.wixsite.com/theleftistassembly short-lived regional website] that he designed using Wix, has been managed continuously by Llorens since, withinitially him having createdas a collection of pages on NSWiki and NSIndex at varying times before the establishment of anthe independent 'TLAwiki' in August 2020.
 
He was re-elected as a Senator in [[June 2018 general election|June 2018]] as the top-ranking candidate, spending the term on a number of legislative reforms: returning to a fixed number of Senators with [[New Arkados]] in the Fixed Legislature Act, requiring candidacy confirmations on the Regional Message Board in the Candidacy Confirmation Act, and requiringmandating that one Justice to lead each trial as a presiding judge in the Judicial Review Act. The first use of this would be in the region's first-ever court case at the end of the term - [[10th Supreme Court#Tobostan v. Llorens (2018)|''Tobostan v. Llorens'' (2018)]] - where Llorens successfully prosecuted [[Tobostan]] for spamming and trolling behaviour.
 
He also served during this term as Minister of Foreign Affairs under Secretary [[Kavagrad]], with the notable implementation of the ambassador program to improve direct relations with embassy regions.

Llorens was again the best-performing senatorial candidate in the [[September 2018 general election]], with his third term beginning with another complete legal overhaul that notably saw the Code of Laws become a collection of laws rather than a document in itself. This was followed by his widely-popular Set Ministers legislative package with New Arkados that required the Secretary to appoint Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Media, and Recruitment, while giving them the flexibility to appoint additional ones as they saw fit, a model that continues in largely the same form today.
