[ You got a new Ego! ]

[ Golden Thread (Passive) : Luck favors Seraphina. A golden thread goes through her life and fate. Her mother’s prayers worked and she was bestowed a great amount of luck from Goddess Alfida. Her Ego is not a power but a boon. And now, it is also yours. ]

’Fair enough. But does meeting me also fall under her good luck? I don’t think so.’

Meeting Pablo wouldn’t be good for anyone even if it’s someone who loves him.

"What are you trying to do, Boss?" Flashy asked. He wanted to ask this for a long time now. For him, Pablo was just having fun feeling Sera’s hands.

Pablo ignored Flashy but he did let go of Sera’s hands.

"It’s done." He said and Sera clasped her hands on her chest.

She even gave a little peck of her lips on her hands. They were the same hands that Pablo held. In her mind, she kissed his hands.

Pablo saw that but said nothing about it. Instead, he focused on the important matter.

"Your Ego is not something tangible, Sera."

"Oh." Flashy stood up. "What do you mean by that?"

Draxus and Sera also stared at Pablo and Pablo told them what he found.

"Her Ego is called Golden Thread. Her Ego is tremendous luck. She is very lucky. Goddess Alfida is very fond of her and I don’t think I have to explain more than that."

"Wait. Then how did she heal my hand?" Draxus asked.

"She has a guardian Angel with her. That Angel does everything she asks. No one other than Sera could see the Angel. That’s all there is."

"Okay? But how do you know all this?" Draxus asked another question and everyone wanted to know this.

Pablo sighed. "I have my way. My Ego allows me many things and before you ask me, I won’t tell anyone of you what my Ego is. It will cause mayhem if it gets leaked. Just know that I can handle myself."

"That’s not fair, Boss. You know our Egoes but you won’t tell us yours. Equality should take place here." Flashy spoke his mind.

"Equality, huh. That’s pretty bold coming from a slave." Draxus commented.

Flashy threw a glare at Draxus. "Don’t you want to know his Ego as well?"

"I want to but he won’t tell. And I don’t think someone could change his mind. So just let it be." Draxus was chill.

"Good choice." Pablo liked Draxus’ answer.

Losing Draxus’ support, Flashy turned his head at Sera.

"Miss Heral-"

"I don’t care about his Ego. He is the strongest. Now don’t talk to me." Sera made herself clear.

"Why am I even here.." Flashy sat back on the bed again.

"Though I heard Goddess Alfida’s name after a long time." Draxus remarked.

"Yes. Me too." Flashy spoke again. "I can’t even remember when was the last time I heard about her or any other Gods."

Pablo frowned. "You don’t hear the Gods’ name often? Don’t they get worshiped?"

"What are you talking about, Boss? Didn’t you notice while walking around the city?" Flashy asked.

"What?" Pablo didn’t get it.

Flashy sighed. "There was not a single temple of any Gods here. No one worships them. There must be some cities or kingdoms where some Gods are worshiped but not here."

’This is news. Those five were acting all high and mighty for nothing. A God is nothing if he doesn’t have any worshipers.’

"Well, anyway, Sera, tell me how to join the military. And I want to join the Abyssal Butchers division." Pablo asked the main thing. It was high time to get moving.

Sera also knew that so she didn’t waste any time and replied right away.

"Every year, the military sends their soldiers to scout promising people from all over the kingdom. After the selection, all these people go through rigorous training, tests and assignments and after that, only a handful of people are selected in various divisions. And only one out of hundred people get allotted in the Abyssal Butchers division."

"So now I have to wait for a soldier to scout me?"

"No. That’s where I come in. You can bypass this scouting process and go directly to the trainee camp. You will be selected by the recommendation of the Count. Many people do that."

"Can’t you just make me get selected in the Abyssal Butchers directly? Like without even doing any tests or assignments of theirs." Pablo wanted to join the military as fast as possible.

"Unfortunately, I can’t. The military isn’t something you can bribe your way in. They make their own rules. The head of the military is treated as a King of a kingdom. The position of a Count can only help you bypass the scouting process."

"Fair enough. Prepare three recommendations then." Pablo ordered.

"Why three? And will the Count agree?" Draxus asked.

"Oh. The Count will agree for sure. He does everything I say. I am his beloved daughter after all." Sera answered with a simple smile and only Pablo knew what was behind that smile.

Sera looked at Pablo again. "But why do you want only three recommendations? It should be four. I will go with you as well."

"No. You won’t." Pablo refused right away.

"Why? Girls can also join the military. And you just told me my luck is great. I will be fine. Don’t worry about me."

’I am not worrying about you at all. Why do people get delusional in love?’

"No. Your luck is great, that’s why I am giving you a different task altogether. You will help me in a different way."

"Oh. How so?" Sera’s eyes sparkled.

Pablo nodded and came closer to Sera.

"Your task is to find everything about this Kingdom. Everything. The castes, religion, Gods, temples, the glory city, every minute details you can find, you have to tell me. You will also tell me all about the nobles living here as well. Especially the nobles with Rail as their last name. Can you do all that, Sera?"

"Thank you, Boss." Flashy genuinely thanked Pablo.

Pablo gave a nod. "I didn’t forget about you. You should at least get something in return for becoming my slave."

"Er. Don’t say the word slave on repeat. Let’s keep it between us, alright?" Flashy requested but by now Pablo was already ignoring him.

He was focused on Sera. "So? Will you do it?"

"Of course. I will do it. I will gather information and share it with you regularly. However…"

’Here it comes.’ Pablo had a feeling Sera would say something.

He stared at Sera and the girl carried on speaking.

"In return for all the information I will give you, what will I get?"

"What do you want?" Pablo asked and as long as she didn’t ask him to marry her, he was fine.

"I want you to…"

Sera slowly came closer to Pablo’s face and in the same closeness, she presented her demand..

"Marry me."
