Angel ~Theta’s Story of the Past~

My name is Theta . A normal village girl you could find everywhere .
Today, I’d like to talk about how I met Ares-sama .
Was it about 10 years ago… . . ?

My parents pa.s.sed away in an epidemic and I was raised by the village chief who was my relative .

The village chief had no child, so he cherished me veryly . Although we were poor, we could still live day to day and I’m fine and happy with that . That is until those vile devils appeared .

One evening, our village was attacked by bandits . The village chief who was like a parent to me was killed, the influential people and the young ones were also killed as a show of power .

The remaining villagers who witnessed everything, soon surrendered to the bandits .

Women will have to comfort the bandits while the men and children will be sold as slaves .

I only saw darkness in our future .

[Boss! What will we do with this little girl?]

[That little girl is a looker! Probably an aristocrat might buy her for a high price!]

The bandit leader pointed at me while laughing .

[Those people always prefer girls like this! Money won’t be problem for them!]

The other bandits laughed in response .

Apparently, I’ll become a plaything for an aristocrat . I’ll bite my tongue off before that happen .
At that time, I was prepared to do so .
However, it’s not something that can easily be done even if you want it . I was just but a little girl . My body won’t stop trembling in fear . Time is ticking . When will you actually do it?

The room where we were being held was at the deepest part of a cave that became the bandits’ base . I was there with dozens other women . Yes, we were just waiting for our fate at the mercy of those bandits… .

At that time .
Suddenly, the door opened . It wasn’t the rough voice of a man, but rather a calm and gentle voice that came from beyond that door .

[Are you alright? Is there anyone who is injured?]

I raised my head, attracted by that voice . The one standing there was not a bandit, but a boy slightly younger than me .

That boy… . was just slightly younger than me . But yet, that calm and collected face and those pure white clothes . They reminded me of the figure of angels depicted on the church .

[Angel…sama?]

[I guess you’re still surprised . The bandits have been taken care of . You are free . There is no need to be scared anymore . ]

At first, I couldn’t quite get what the Angel-sama was saying . But when I gradually realized that we’re saved, my tears started to overflow .

At first, I couldn’t quite get what the Angel-sama was saying . But when I gradually realized that we’re saved, my tears started to overflow .

[I, I… . . up until, just now… . I really don’t know what to do… . . I thought about dying but I just couldn’t do it… . ]

As I murmured, the boy approached me and gently hugged me .

[It’s alright now . Those bad people is already gone now . But I guess, it’s still scary, isn’t it? It’s alright… . . cry as much as you want . ]

As soon as I heard that, a feeling of relief, the sadness from losing my family and the hatred towards the bandits … . various emotions washed over me, and I ended up crying loudly on that boy’s chest .

The angel then told me that his name is Ares-sama .

Ares-sama also released the villagers and children who were being held in different rooms, and guided us outside .
Once outside… . . there were a lot of soldiers .
We were surprised… . . but the soldiers freely spoke to Ares-sama .

[What the… done already?]

[Milord… . . you are being unreasonable as usual . Not telling your arrival… . . Such things, could you please stop it? Milord just arrived back at Romaria . Yet already set out again early in the morning . ]

[My bad, my bad . Look, I’m alright and the villagers are safe . ]

[As usual with the superhuman feats… . is Milord really a human?]

[That’s awful, Rouen……but didn’t it work just fine?]

[That’s awful, Rouen……but didn’t it work just fine?]

[Please act more accordingly to your standing . By the way… . I’ve prepared the carriage as per what is written on the letter . ]

[Great! Rouen is always so understanding . ]

Just like that, the soldier-san and Ares-sama talked in a friendly manner .

The people of my village was moved to the capital Romaria . It’ll be difficult to function properly as a village and it’s good to be able to live in a safer place for a change . Of course, n.o.body was against to that . We rode on the carriage that the soldiers have prepared . But no one dared to speak to Ares-sama’ since we were wary of his origin .
However I .

[E-excuse me!]

I built up my courage and spoke to Ares-sama .

[I… . . I can do any kind of ch.o.r.es . From was.h.i.+ng clothes to cooking . So… . . can I work for Ares-sama?? I would like to repay you for saving my life!]

Although I expected that it’s no good, I still tried regardless .

I have no family left . I didn’t have any place left to go .
Anything… . I would do anything to repay for everything you’ve done for me… . I don’t want to be an ungrateful person . Even my late parents taught me to always repay other’s kindness to you with grat.i.tude .

Ares gave it a thought for a while albeit with a troubled face,

[I do have to find someone to take care of my personal belongings on Romaria . Very well . You can come with me . ]

He said so as he laughed .

[You see the carriage at the back with a different shape than the others? That’s where I put my luggage . Please tell them to advance more carefully although they have to keep up with other carriages . ]

He said so as he laughed .

[You see the carriage at the back with a different shape than the others? That’s where I put my luggage . Please tell them to advance more carefully although they have to keep up with other carriages . ]

[Y-yes! Thank you very much!]

Surely Ares-sama could already tell . How lonely I’ll become after we reached Romaria . And also my feelings .
To what extent, I do not know but that was how I ended up serving as Ares-sama personal maid .

Ten years later……I’m happy to be able to serve on Ares-sama’s side .
All the while, I got along with many people who frequently go in and out of the mansion . There are also some who seems to have some feelings for me . I really appreciate the thought, but… . .

My feelings are all for Ares-sama . For that person… . . I’d devote everything from the last of my hair, and every drop of my blood .

Later becoming one of Ares’ queens; Queen Theta Schwarzer .

But even after becoming a Queen, she would still constantly take care of Ares’ personal belongings and it is said that Ares would only drink tea if it’s the tea she personally made .
