Not as freaked out as one might expect!

As we entered the entrance hall, several of the servants gave a small start, staring at me in my nudity, and were about to say something, when Master spoke first. "Calm yourselves." They instantly clammed up. I could tell, that they were under his sway already. Honestly, I wondered just what he might end up doing with his new power. Make all the maids his sex slaves too? Possible, though I hoped I maintained his favor. And there was a good chance of it too. While the castle owner did have his head up his own ass like many of the other nobles I had the displeasure of knowing, he did have a bit of sense, in prioritizing competence over looks for maids. Hell, there were only a few of them, the rest were butlers who could do some heavy lifting easier than the average woman. One would be surprised how rare that kind of pragmatic thinking was among those in power.

"Inform the Lord of the Castle that I am taking charge of this establishment," Master stated in an authoritative voice.

"Yes sir!" a butler nodded, and headed off.

I gazed up at Master, aroused by his air of effortless authority. Whatever power he held with that golden idol, it clearly did wonders for one's confidence. "Master, what do you intend to do with everyone here?" I asked curiously.

He shrugged, and said, "Haven't decided yet. Though I might just send them away after a certain point."

"Master, if they exit the range of whatever power you have over us... that might lead to retaliation later," I mused. He glanced at me and raised an eyebrow, and I shrugged. "Master, I know you have some kind of magic influencing me. And I don't really care. It feels so good to do your bidding, I will gladly remain in your sway for as long as you'll have me."

He smirked. "In that case, do you have any suggestions?" he asked me.
