193 Personal maid (2/2)

Grandma Si first nodded in satisfaction when she saw how the two maids she had trained managed to select their master without any problem. Then when she saw how Serge looked nervously he couldn't help but grin.

”Don't worry if you don't know how to handle servants. You will get used to it soon.”, she told him. ”Just follow her to the room and if she offers you something then decide if you want to do it or not. Don't hesitate to impose your will.”

”Impose my will?”, Serge asked confused.

”Yes.”, she nodded, ”I guess you don't have any experience with servants so you might not know what it means to have a personal maid. Basically she will take care of all your needs and I mean all of them, so you basically can't do anything wrong.”

”Oh.”, Serge still felt uncomfortable and didn't really know what to do.

Ivan wasn't much better. He hadn't had much experience with servants either. In fact, the only ones he had met before were Madam Tanner and Susan, both of whom couldn't really be called classic servants like the maids here.

The maids seemed to know what they felt so both of them took steps to make it easier for them. ”Master, how about I show you to your room, and after that, I'll prepare the bath for you to relax from the long journey.”, both of them offered.

Serge and Ivan were glad for them to take the initiative, so they both nodded gladly.

Clara led him to a large room which contained a large bed, table, and seating area. One of the walls consisted completely of glass and opened to a small interior garden, which was beautiful and well cared for. It seemed to be the only room leading to the garden and there was a glass door providing access to it.

The room only had three other doors. One was the door they had entered through while one was the door towards the bathroom. The last one was much more modest and seemed to nearly vanish in the wall texture. If one didn't look at it nearly seemed to vanish.

”Master, this will be your personal room from now on.”, Clara introduced. ”The garden is for your personal usage. You can relax in it and there is also an area reserved to growing herbs. If you spend sect contributions you can also have someone upgrade the space formations, increasing their size.”

”Their size can be increased?”, he asked in astonishment. Sure back home in the alliance they also used space manipulation but it wasn't that extravagant that they would do so for personal rooms.

”Of course. But it will cost quite a lot.”, Clara told him. Although she didn't directly say it, she still managed to inform him that he would be unable to pay for it anytime soon.

He nodded and she continued with the introduction, ”Behind this door is the bathroom.”, she pointed at the door which he had already guessed would lead to the bathroom.

”And this is the door to my room.”, she then pointed at the last inconspicuous door.

He curiously asked, ”Can I take a look?”

”Of, course.”, Clara responded, ”Remember, I'm your personal maid so everything that I use is technically yours. The same with my body.”, she calmly said these words. There was even pride in her voice and eyes when she said them.

”Huh?”, he was surprised. He had thought that she was just responsible for serving him. Now it seemed more like she was a slave.

”A personal maid is someone who devotes everything for their master and takes care of all the his needs. In exchange, she will be taken care of and also gains a certain status. For example, now that I'm serving you, my status in this palace is just below Madam Si and whoever becomes Master Klein's personal maid.”, she explained.

”Being a personal maid is a symbol of status for us servants. And it is also the highest we can reach in the sect since we can't cultivate.”

”So it is only about status?”

”Of course not. Just like everything else, there are also benefits.”, she smiled at him. ”The higher a servant ranking the better the benefits. For example, now that I have become your personal servant I have gotten my own room and I will also get some special pills.”

”I thought you can't cultivate.”

”I can't but there are many types of pills that aren't for cultivations. For example, a popular pill for servants is these that keep the body young which also allows us to live longer. Besides although I can't, my sister can and although she hasn't entered the sect yet, I can get pills for her with my servant points.”, Clara patiently explained.

It seemed that just like disciples who could earn Sect Contributions, the servants too could earn points and exchange them for good for either themselves or their family members.
