Reina defeated the dragon with her past legendary sword , Wolf .But when the gaint beast , dragon collapsed on the ground and transform into a girl .
She looked like seventeen , her skin pale and smooth , her red hair flowing with air .
Reina almost dropped the Wolf .
" A...girl ? " She whispered .
The girl slowly lifted her head . Her gaze has no hostility - only exhaustion and respect .
She stepped forward . Then , suddenly dropped to one knee before Reina .
" I am Arya . " She said her voice restraint , carrying in faint echo's of dragon roared.
" Once I was bound by the goddess Myril , charged with guarding this one sword until one worth appeared. "
Her golden eyes locked onto Reina's green ones. " You have spoken the sword's name ."
" And from this very moment, I am yours to command , my master .
Before Reina could react ... Behind Reina , a soft thud sounded -- the sound of Liora's jaw hitting the ground from the shock .
" W-Wait , wait . Hold on just a second . " Liora scrambled at Reina's side - pointing an accusing finger at Arya .
" You ....you can't just kneel like that. What are you doing , girl ? "
Arya tilted her head , her red hair shinning like ember .
" I swore to goddess,Myril . Whoever draws Wolf . And awakens me shall be my liege. It only natural.... "
" Natural ? " Liora garbbed Reina's arm , eyes wide . " Reina , what is this ? "
" You beat up the dragon , take the sword , dragon turn to girl and now suddenly you're collecting girl who can call you " master " ?.
Reina blinked , cheeks heating , " I - I di- didn't ---- that---- that not---- "
" Oh , it is " Liora smirked , her voice dripping with mock jealousy. She leaned close , whispering into Reina's ear just loud enough for Arya to hear .
" First me , now a dragon girl maid ? Haaah ...maybe I should called you , 10 year old " Prince Reina " collecting girls ? "
Reina blushed , " No ....I am not ... I told you ---- "
Arya unbothered , lower her head even further . " If it pleases , My Master . I am willing to serve not as guardian of the sword but has your protector, bodyguard and in all kind of things you want me to do . "
Liora gasped dramatically, " You hear that ? "
" She ready to serve you in all kind of things .
Reina , you just ten , and you're having harem beginning . And I didn't even get to approve the candidates yet ! "
" But I can tell you that , Reina . You're doomed . "
" Liora ! " Reina groaned hiding her burning face behind her hand .
Amidst of stupidity, Wolf pulsed faintly in Reina's hand . She looked down at the blade, it's silver edge glowing with the soft inner face .
She expected it to surge with unimaginable strength , to flood her body with divine power.
That's what legendary swords were supposed to do , weren't they ?
But she tightened her grip , the glow dimmed. The steel shimmered into light , dissolving like fireflies drifting into night sky .
A warmth spread through her chest and then--
It was gone .
The sword had vanished .
Reina gasped stumbling back.... " What ? Where did --- ? "
Arya raised her head calmly .
" Do not fear ,Master . Wolf has not left you . The sword has chosen to dwell within your soul . It will answer you when you call it's name . "
Reina place her hand in her chest , feeling faint the presence of Wolf inside her .
" Why ... Me ? " Reina whispered to herself than anyone else .
The goddess's word in dream echoed again : You have my blessings, Ray Throne .
" You're destined to achieve something great, Master . " Arya said with proudly about her master .
Reina lowered her hand .
" I didn't want this.... " She muttered. " I didn't want to be your master . "
" Yes ,Master . I can feel your burdened and I can feel loneliness. But ..... What you need is a person who can share your sadness and loneliness . "
Arya rose her feet . She was taller than Reina by a head . " And yet fate bind us .... Master . You cannot cast aside what is already part of your soul. "
Arya lips curved into a faint almost mischievous smile .
" If you will not accept me as your bodyguard or knight , Then I have no choice. But to serve you as your maid . "
" M-Maid ? " Reina almost choked on her own breath .
" Wait !!!! Wait . Wait .Wait . " Reina keep shouting .
" Why ? "
" Because you broke shrine , took the sword , and make me free . So , I choose to serve you. And Maid are loyal who serve toward there Master . So I wish to be remain with any form you allow me to . If it to clean boots , then be it , cleaning dishes I'll do it . Anything you want . "
Then Liora spoke in very serious manner .
" True , Dragons are legendary creatures who love to be respect by others . And Arya want to be your maid " Liora said with all the serious ,she had prepare but then ------
" Hahahahahhaha.... " Liora couldn't control her laughter. " Yes .Arya as Maid . I can see it . "
" As frilly arpon working as house maid ...glaring at me every time when I hold your hand . "
" LIORAA ! " Reina shouted , red faced .
But even as she protested , a small smile tugged at face .
Arya didn't choose her to be her master because of sword or power , but Arya choose her because she want to .
Between the two girls , Liora who arguing with the dragon that she was afraid a moment and Arya , who Reina defeated badly and asked her to be her master .
Truly , Reina had a headache but she didn't feel alone anymore .
In the forest again , the forest was silent as usual. The smoke drifting away , as the sun first ray touched the shrine .
Reina stood between two girls :
Liora : Viscount's daughter , grinning , mischievous, loyal to the end .
Arya : calm , burning with devotion toward Reina , dragon who now called herself
"Maid "
Inside her chest , Wolf , her sword , pulsing through her chest .....
For the first time in her reincarnation , Reina thought that life adventure is stretching in journey .
That will be undeniable and unforgettable Tales of Reina Throne .
As she was flying on the Arya in her dragon form ....
" Oh I forget about today ..... " Reina panicked
" What's today ..... ? " Liora asked .
