A drop falls on the kings head, showing that nature is always master.
Usages of master
reside
住
A person's master determines where he resides.
主
master
(ご)主人(go)shujin
husband
Note how, just as with 家内 the kanji in this word correspond to traditional gender roles.
The problem is that though among friends you can use 夫, in a less casual setting there's not currently really a good alternative to ご主人 to politely refer to someone else's husband.
主人shujin
owner (of a store); landlord
pour
注
You have to pour water for your master.

“How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?”
Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
