No one asks for permission from things. They just use them.
Things have no conscience. They have no soul. So why bother to ask them for permission? Just use them.
And in Seraphim, there were things, and there were slaves. And they both meant the same.
Slaves were equal to things.
They had a soul and a conscience but they were still things.
And the slaves themselves believed that. They were so used to being treated as things that they had forgotten their own heart.
But when Pablo asked them for their permission to become their master, their heart throbbed again.
They remembered they had a soul as well.
And they remembered that because of Pablo so it was only natural for them to accept Pablo as their master. If not him then no one.
However…
’So choosing the right word worked fine. Glad I asked for their ’permission.’’ Pablo knew it all along.
He deliberately asked for the slaves permission because he knew that would strike a chord with them. And it did.
The slaves think that they are making Pablo their master by their own will but in reality, they are doing as Pablo wanted. Pablo already became their master.
’You are the worst.’ Cupid could only say this.
Pablo just chuckled.
"But you have to have a higher rank than that Royal to overwrite our seals." The male slave said.
Pablo smiled.
"Don’t worry." He sat down on his knees in front of the slaves.
"I am the strongest."
He took out the knife from his bracelet again and made a horizontal cut on his left palm.
"Show me the seal." He said.
The elder slave exchanged glances with other slaves and eventually came forward.
He showed the seal on his chest to Pablo.
Pablo waited for nothing and dropped a few drops of his blood on the already red seal.
’My Black rank should work here.’
Pablo waited for his blood to do something and all the other slaves also watched the seal.
"Angh." The male slave groaned.
"What happened?" Pablo asked.
"I think it’s working." The slave answered, his face twisted.
"The face you are making isn’t convincing me that much though." Pablo replied.
"Because of the pain itself I can say it’s working. This is the same pain that happened when that royal’s blood was dropped on us. So it means it’s working."

"That’s good then. I’ll wait. Only after seeing that it does no harm to you, will I do it to others." Pablo made his decision and all the other slaves loosened their fear of Pablo.
No one talked like that with them. They were becoming fond of Pablo more and more.
The male slave gave more painful expressions and Pablo just waited for it to end.
And after ten more minutes, the male slave finally stopped groaning.
"Is it over?" Pablo asked.
"Yes. And I think it worked."
"Okay? So now I have to acknowledge you as my slave?"
"Yes. Just announce that you deem me as your slave and it should work. I don’t know everything."
"Alright. But before that, I will drop blood on all of you. I will acknowledge all ten of you at once."
"As you wish." The male slave moved to the side and the next slave came in front of Pablo.
It was a male and Pablo dropped his blood on his seal.
The slave felt pain and Pablo moved on to the next slave.
He decided to first finish the male slaves so one by one, he dropped his blood on their seals.
After five minutes, all the five male slaves had their seals overwritten by Pablo and now only the five girls were left.
Pablo looked at them and they were still scared enough to meet his eyes.
"I know it is hard for you, but show me your chest and I will drop the blood without looking there." Pablo said.
The girls twitched but none of them came forward. They were all holding each other.
"Believe me. If I wanted to do something to all of you I would have already done that. Just trust me." Pablo assured the girls.
The girls exchanged looks with each other and they found Pablo’s words correct as well. If Pablo wanted to do something to them he could have already done it. No one cares about slaves anyway. So Pablo wouldn’t have held himself back to do something bad to them.
"I am.. ready." One girl spoke.
Pablo nodded. "Come here and tell me when I should look away."
The girl slowly came forward and opened her dress.
"N-Now."
Pablo jerked his head sideways and by estimating the position of the girl, he dropped his blood on her chest.
"Ahh." The girl moaned.
’Don’t make it sensual.’
"Can I look now?" He asked.
The girl moved to the side.
"Yes."
Pablo moved his head to the front again and looked at the next girl. Only four were left.
"See? It wasn’t hard. Come." He said.
The four girls looked at the previous girl who recently moaned.
"It’s safe." She said.
Pablo smiled. "Trust me."
"Okay." Another girl came forward.
"Open it." Pablo said and jerked his head to the side again.
The girl did it. "You can drop."
Pablo dropped his blood on her chest as well.
"Ahh." This girl moaned as well.
’This is not some kamasutra shit.’
The girl moved to the side and Pablo adjusted his head again.
Now only three girls were left.
Pablo looked at them and gestured at them to come forward.
One girl obliged and slowly came in front of Pablo.
Pablo moved his head again and the same process happened.
Now only two girls were left.
And this time, Pablo had to do nothing as one girl came on her own.
Pablo dropped his blood on her chest and the seal was overwritten.
After that, only one girl remained.
The youngest and the most expensive one.
"Please come. It’s safe." Pablo said.
The girl looked at the other slaves and all of them gave a nod.
The girl meekly nodded back and slowly came in front of Pablo.
She was still averting her eyes from Pablo and Pablo finally had a closer look at her face.
’No wonder she was the most expensive one.’
The girl was the prettiest among the lot. She had blue eyes, pink lips, and fair skin just like Cupid, an Angel.
’That Royal Bitter would have eaten her alive if he got his hands on her.’
Other than Pablo, Sera also stared at the girl with unknown thoughts.
And not only Sera, Cupid and Andrezj also had their eyes on the girl and when they saw the girl closely, both Angels looked at each other with surprise.
"Um, please look away." The girl spoke. Her voice was pleasant as well.
"Right." Pablo turned his head to the side.
The girl showed a little bit of her chest and Pablo dropped his blood on the seal.
"Ahhh." The girl did the same thing as other girls and Pablo just gave up on that.
’Congratulations, Pablo.’ Cupid congratulated Pablo out of nowhere.
’Huh? For what?’ Pablo asked.
Cupid smiled. The moment she and Andrezj landed their eyes on the youngest girl, they figured one thing about her. And Cupid shared that thing with Pablo.
’You just got yourself an Elf.’
