"Are you happy serving me, Stella?"
The question Jason just asked was so deep and intense that Stella actually froze. There was so much that could be said in response to that, but Stella knew that this was a very serious moment for her. Stella had once been a soldier and a free woman, but now she was tied to Jason for the rest of her life, and Stella was willing to give her body and her soul to her master no matter what. Most people would find it hard to get used to that change. But Stella wasn't most people.
"Yes, master. I am happy. Forgive me for being so bold, but I believe it was destiny for you to find me on Bi'nazin, and for you to take me as your servant. I have never felt happier in all my life than I have under your service, and if I can live till I am grey and old while the badge of your family upon my chest, then I will die the happiest woman in the world. It was my destiny to be your servant, and you were born to be my master. That is what I believe."
