Sitting in the carriage's driver seat, Leon closed his eyes and wanted to check his skill. He didn't hear any notification yesterday even though they did all of THAT. So he was a bit worried, but the moment he did start to focus, the skill rang on its own.
[Notice: Notifications have been automatically turned off yesterday. Reason: unwanted disturbance.]
[Notice: Notifications have been turned back on. Reason: Sultan's will.]
[Notice: Roberta's Loyalty had increased from 30% to 35%]
[Notice: Due to Roberta's slavery contract, her Loyalty had been forced to 100%.]
[Notice: Beatrice Saintly's Loyalty had increased from 15% to 20%]
[Notice: All of Beatrice Saintly's stats would increase by the same percentage of her Loyalty to the Sultan when fighting in his name. Current increase 20%]
[Notice: Noel Cromwell Loyalty has increased from 20% to 35%]
[Notice: All of Noel Cromwell's stats would increase by the same percentage of her Loyalty to the Sultan when fighting in his name. Current increase 35%]
[Notice: All of the Sultan's Stats increased by the combined percentage of loyalty of his Harem. Current increase 155%]
[Notice: Roberta's Affection had increased from 23% to 45%]
[Notice: Beatrice Saintly's Affection had increased from 6% to 20%]
[Notice: Noel Cromwell Affection has increased from 65% to 95%]
[Notice: Total Affection surpassed 100%. Current total affection 160%]
[Notice: The Condition of {Affection > 100%} has been achieved. Unlocking Subskills.]
[Notice: Subskill [Servants' Jobs] had been acquired.]
[Notice: Subskill [Servants' Jobs] allows you to give those serving you jobs. Jobs grant special privileges, set roles, and can even allow the Sultan's servants to gain subskills of their own.]
[Notice: Pick one of the servants to see their possible jobs.]
Leon and the girls all heard that, and they blinked at the same time. They didn't understand anything about it, and Leon immediately glared at his own skill. ^Wait! You can turn the notifications off on your own?^ He didn't even know that notifications could be turned on and off, but what worried him the most was that his skill could act without his will, which was strange for a skill.
[Notice: No, I can't. Notifications were turned off based on set rules. This time, it was to give the Sultan a better chance of making out with the Servants. Result: Failure.]
Leon could swear she was mocking him for not sticking it in any of the girls yesterday. ^Did you just insult me?^
[Notice: I didn't.]
He paused for a second... ^Hold up, you're conscious. Otherwise, we won't be having a conversation like this.^
After several moments of waiting, the skill didn't reply, so Leon decided to leave that for later and check the [Servants' Jobs]

So now he has his main skill [Sultan's Harem] and then copied skills that he gets from his servant, and then each of them has its own Subskill? There shouldn't be a skill that does this. Even Emperor-Class skills don't allow someone to have multiple skills, except for a few outliers, and even those are heavily limited.
He then looked at Noel who sat by his side, and touched her shoulder. "I'll test it. Just sit still."
Leon focused and closed his eyes and willed [Servant's Job] to activate.
[Notice: Noel Cromwell has been selected.]
[Notice: Noel Cromwell has several available jobs. {Maid, Bedmaiden, Body Double}]
Leon focused on all three of them, and as expected, his skill gave him the job's basic description.
[Notice: Job: Maid. A Maid's job is to take care of the Sultan. She cook, cleans, and tends to the palace. Can be upgraded later to higher jobs like Head Maid, Battle Maid, Death Maid.]
[Notice: Job: Bedmaiden. A Bedmaiden's job is to pleasure the Sultan with her body. She dances, sings, and warms the bed. Can be upgraded later to higher jobs like Geisha, Jester, Palace Bedmaiden.]
[Notice: Job: Body Double. A Body Double's job is to take the master's pain away by standing in his place. Her body can be directly control by the Sultan, She takes damage instead of the Sultan, and her life force can used to heal him. Can be upgraded later to higher jobs like Second Soul, Spawn Mother.]
Leon blinked several times, and had to ask. "Noel, what do you think?"
She looked at him, then closed her eyes. "One is just my current job, one is a sex job, and the last one basically turns me into a spare meat shield for you." She smiled. "As much as I love serving you in bed, or dying to protect you. I'd rather have the Maid job."
Leon nodded. "I was thinking the same. The other two don't sound all that useful or good. A Maid can become a Battle Maid, and I'm interested in seeing what that is about."
[Notice: Changing Noel Cromwell's job from "NONE" To "MAID".]
Noel suddenly felt a rush of heat burning across her entire body. She bent down, gasped for air, and the burning sensation was over before she could even make a sound.
[Notice: the Maid Noel Cromwell can now acquire Merit Points. Current Point 0.]
[Notice: Merit Points are the Sultan's payment to his servants, and they allow them to gain skills, empower their bodies, and rank up their skills. Merit Points are automatically given when serving the Sultan.]
[Notice: The harder the task is, and the more the Servant hates doing it, the more Merit Points are given.]
Leon and Noel looked at each other, and then she pulled out her skill screen... and he could see the screen with her. Usually, it is impossible to see someone else's skills...
There was a bunch of skills listed for sale, which was absolutely horrifying to think that she could just serve Leon and then be able to get more skills. Those skills would also get copied to him, meaning that he would also get even stronger.
[Cleaning] 100P
[Endurance] 100p
[Accelerated Thoughts] 100p
[Spark] 100p
[Lesser Footwork] 1000p
[Cook] 100p
[Stability] 100p
[Warmth] 100p
[Lesser Handiwork] 1000p
[Slash] 100p
"All of those?" She whispered into Leon's ear, and he looked at her with a face just as confused as hers. "I guess..." He looked back, and the villages had finally loaded everything, and they should start moving.
"Should we try getting you some points?" He looked at her, and she looked down at the reins. "You were supposed to drive first, and then I'll take over." She smiled. "I'll drive your part as well and see how much that would net me."
As the carriage moved, Leon looked back toward Roberta and Beatrice, who rode at the back. The two looked anxious and wanted to check their jobs as well, but sadly, they'll have to wait until they get off the carriage.
As time passed, the chieftain's daughter Sara poked Leon in the back. "It's time you switched up, right?"
As Leon turned, so did Noel. "No, I'll keep driving. I quite like it. Donkeys are strangely harder to guide than horses." Their carriage was, after all, drawn by a single burly donkey.
"You'll just tire yourself out. What..." But before Sara could finish talking, Noel gave her a deathly glare. "I CAN DRIVE."
Seeing that scary face, Sara backed away and sat in silence.
