I've heard words like ward, charge, patron, master, champion?

But I don't think any of that is what I'm looking for. What are better terms for this kind of relationship??

I would go with Liege.

liege
adjective
a: having the right to feudal allegiance (see ALLEGIANCE sense 1a) or service his liege lord
b: obligated to render feudal allegiance and service

Liege is the correct answer

[–] dethb0y 3 points 1 year ago

yeah this feels most correct

Ward and charge refer to someone subservient to YOU

[–] SheeEttin 7 points 1 year ago

liege lord, lord, feudal lord, seigneur, suzerain, overlord, master, chief, chieftain, superior, monarch, sovereign, baron, ruler

or just employer

It depends what they asked me to call them really. Other have provided useful answers but honestly I think it depends on your relationship to them.

Hmm. Patron feels right, but that might get confusing with warlock. I think @pleasejustdie is right with /liege/. Maybe that or just lord/lady you've sworn allegiance to.
