Chapter 514: Servants of the Dark Lord

Charlie was inside Luke’s room in the temple when the door opened. Angie stepped in.

“Do you need something, Angie?”

“Dinner’s ready, Charlie. I want you to taste it and tell me if I actually managed to make something decent.”

Charlie got up from the bed. Angie had been learning how to cook as well, hoping it might help her awaken a profession.

“According to the books Lord Luke has, if you dedicate yourself to something and master the basics, the system tends to reward you with the option to awaken that profession. By now, you should have unlocked something at least, considering you’ve been studying cooking for over a year,” Angie said.

They reached the kitchen.

“Maybe the maid profession,” Charlie suggested lightly. “I think it’s like Master Luke told us. Our system works differently.”

“That’s very possible. Our title says we are servants of the Dark Lord, and both his title and his abilities mention us as something equivalent to generals. The system might shape us toward offensive paths, making it easier for us to grow in combat roles. A profession might not even be something we can awaken,” Angie said.

Charlie sat at the table and served herself.

“That would explain why you managed to unlock a second class so easily.”

“Hm… it wasn’t easy. It was extremely difficult for both me and Master Luke at the time,” Charlie replied.

“Easy in the sense that you were the only being in the tutorial to unlock a second class. And then Master Luke, but only after reaching the maximum level in race, class, and profession. Do you see my point?” Angie asked.

“I do,” Charlie said.

Angie handed her another plate.

“Looking at it that way… it makes sense.”

“We probably have an easier time walking offensive paths because we’re considered ‘Generals.’ That could influence our classes and help us awaken a second one,” Angie concluded.

The conversation naturally drifted to a single subject.

Luke.

There was nothing else for them to talk about. Charlie and Angie spoke about Luke’s plans for the future, his wishes, and his dreams.

“I… see myself by Master Luke’s side forever,” Charlie said softly.

“Me too.”

“You… didn’t understand, Angie. I mean… by Master Luke’s side,” Charlie clarified.

“Oh. I see. You mean romantically. I don’t have a problem with that, Charlie.”

“Really? You… don’t feel that way about him?”

“I’m a tool. If he wants me as a friend, I’ll be his friend. If he wants me as a lover, I’ll be his lover.”

Charlie fell silent.

“Charlie, what would you do if I stole your precious Master Luke from you?” Angie asked.

“What do you mean?” Charlie said, completely caught off guard.

“With my understanding of humans and my angelic intellect, I could steal a human man’s heart if I wanted to. What if I took Master Luke for myself?” Angie continued. “Would you let me sleep with him? Would you let me become one with him?”

Anger surged through Charlie. She slammed her fist against the table.

“What are you talking about?!”

“I’m stating the obvious,” Angie said, standing up, her voice suddenly serious. “How would you feel if you caught me having sex with Lord Luke? If I took him for myself?”

“I’d be furious!” Charlie shouted, rising to her feet. “No one can steal Master Luke from me. He’s mine!”
