Chapter 31 - 26

Max P.O.V.

Max arrived at the Foley estate as quickly as he could, after all, it was his lord's order and you don't make God wait. 

He was greeted by Merry, the head maid of the estate. She is a blond woman of 28 years. He knows her tragic story. She treats his Lord as an angel. She was married at the age of 20. She has a loving husband who was a Navy Seal and he died when she was 25. Leaving her and her daughter alone. Merry was a woman of hard will at that time. She decided to raise her daughter all by herself. She got a job as a teacher of the English language. All was going great and she and her daughter were happy. 

But the world doesn't want to see anyone happy. A rich asshole who was drunk in power and alcohol was driving fast one day and had an accident. In that accident, her daughter died. She buried her daughter with the same hands who once promised to protect her from every danger.

And you know what happens to that asshole, nothing. He was rich, he made an army of lawyers to save him and he was saved with a little of 1000 dollar fine.

Merry lost all her hopes of Justice, she felt like she didn't deserve to live as she failed her daughter. So what she did was that she jumped in front of a moving car. Now luckily it was Sebastian who was driving the car with his Lord inside. 

His lord healed her and asked her why she jumped in front of his car. She told everything. His Lord offered her her revenge and asked her to serve him. Now the services were not what the gutter minded people think. No, his Lord is above them. He once had true love and lost it. No, he asked her to be his Maid and in return, he would give her the strength to take her revenge.

She agreed and his Lord gave her powers. She was not an Elysian with dormant power in her body like him. No, she was a normal human. His lord made her into a high human.  

And she took her revenge on everyone involved. That police officer who investigated the case and helped in hiding the evidence, the lawyers who defended him despite knowing the truth, and the main preparatory. She shredded every one of them into pieces in only a single night and from then on she is a loyalist of her lord working for him. 

She didn't know but his Lord knows that she still feels the pain of losing her 3-year-old child. He without letting her know has recovered the body of the child and is working on reviving her. He once saw the child's body in a glass pod with liquids in it and asked Sebastian about it and he told him the Story.

P.O.V. end

Merry takes Max to the dining hall and he sees a peculiar American African child sitting on one of the chairs. The child was wearing luxurious clothes and seemed impatient for something. The servants were putting dishes on the table. 

" Please take a chair, Mr. Max. Master and Sir Sebastian would be coming at any moment. " she said in an emotionless cold voice. 

" Let the Lord come first. I will take the chair after he is here and Merry please don't use honorifics with me. I am not worthy of them. " Max said in a serious voice but Merry did not reply to Max.

The child looked toward him and then again started to look sideways.

After some time Joshua and Sebastian walked into the dining hall. 

Darwin looked excited for some reason. He gets up from the chair and runs toward Joshua and hugs his legs. 

Joshua looked at him and smiled. He then picks up Darwin's 5-year body from the ground and places him in his lap. 

" So little guy, Sebastian here told me that you Changed your name to Darwin." Joshua said pinching his nose and chuckling. 

" Yes, I don't like my last name too long for my taste. Darwin is short and cool " Darwin said smiling. 

Sebastian, Merry, and Max watched this interaction between them with a smile on their faces.

" Now go and sit on your chair," Joshua said to Darwin.

Darwin runs toward his chair and Joshua too moves toward the dining table and sits on the main chair. 

" So Max, how are you doing. All good I hope. " asked Joshua while signaling to both Sebastian and Max to sit down. 

" Everything is Great with your blessings my Lord." Max replied in his usual tone. 

" Come on Max, that was a one-time thing. I was mostly joking at that time." Joshua said Making an annoyed face but deep down he was pleased that Max saw him like that. After all, it was this devotion toward him that he was after from the start.

" You might have said that in a joke but for me, it was the day that I met a real God. " Max said. 

" Call me whatever you want. Now let me introduce you to my little brother Darwin. " Joshua says, introducing Darwin to Max.

Darwin looked toward Max and Max smiled at him in adoration.

Max and Joshua then talked about business for some time. Mainly about the supply of Dragon blood and how to expand their territory.

Then Darwin suddenly asked Joshua " Big brother, Josh, I wanted to train in martial arts."

" What brings that up." Joshua asked. 

" I wanted to help you and share your burden. " Darwin says while hesitating but without any stutter.

Merry was serving tomato soup to Joshua when he said

" No thanks, Merry. I had my fill. You Darwin go to your bedroom and You Sebastian out meet me in the training yard. Max waits for some time. We will talk after some time. "

Joshua was angry.
