A long, long time ago.
Maybe a hundred years or so ago, I broke my mother’s word and went out alone to a human city …… and was captured by bad people.
Confined both physically and magically by iron walls and magic wards, I spent endless days just being forced to make holy water.
The only saving grace is that the food and water brought to the prison are served through a small opening, and the holy water is only poured into a small hole in the floor, so no one sees me making holy water.
Looking at the sky through a tiny air hole the size of my fist was the only thing I could do that didn’t involve producing holy water.
“…… That’s how it is.”
“I see. That must have been quite an ordeal for you.”
While literally stretching my wings in the spacious bathtub with a young human girl named Sophie–who is about my height, by the way–she asked me how I got here, so I told her.
……Yeah. I’m glad to have someone to talk to.
Also, it’s a dream come true to be able to take a bath.
I even flew in the sky today.
It’s been too long since I’ve been up there, but I found a small village and Alex praised me for it.
By the way, that Alex is the benefactor who rescued me from the hellish days with his mysterious skill.
I had no choice but to offer them holy water until now, but for Alex’s sake, I would gladly make it.
“By the way, Sophie. From what I saw from the sky, there was nothing around here, did you come here with Alex’s skill too?”
“No. I have been serving the Master since the beginning.”
“…… You mean you came here with Alex?”
“That is correct.”
I see. As I recall, Alex and Ellie said they came from another city with a transporter, so Sophie must be the same.
But Sophie was raised as a servant of Alex from birth, which means …… Alex is a prince or a nobleman of the human race!?
If Alex is a prince, maybe he will look for my mom and dad when he returns to the country of his birth!
Or rather, Alex would surely look for them!
If I go looking for them alone without any help, I might get caught again, so I’ll stay by Alex’s side from now on.
…… wait. I’m pretty, if I do say so myself.
Maybe Alex will fall in love with me while I’m by his side, propose to me and …… become the human race’s princess!
That would be fine, but since Meilin and the others said they’re already Alex’s brides, I wonder what number I will be.
“Hey, Sophie. All the women who aren’t here are Alex’s wives, right?”
“…… that’s what I’ve heard.”
“What’s the ranking order of his wives?”
“Unfortunately, I am not well versed in such information, so I am not certain, and this is just my guess, but …… Perhaps the first on the ranking order is Miss Fiine.”
“…… Fiine, is it that tall Dream tribe girl?”
“…… Dream Tribe? …… It’s probably that woman.”
I’m surprised.
I’ve only seen her for one day, but the elf, Lydia has been with him for so long that I thought she was first place in the ranking order.
Does that mean Lydia was only there for the work? …… Well, still, as long as Lydia is there, she’ll still be Alex’s wife.
“By the way, why do you think Fiine is first place?”
“Because, while everyone is sleeping in the large room, only Miss Fiine is spending the night with Master in the private room.”
“I see. I guess she might be special since they’re sleeping together.”
I was embarrassed because I was completely naked earlier, but with my clothes on, I would love to sleep with Alex too.
Burying my face in Alex’s chest and having him gently caress my head while I sleep would be awesome!
But from what Sophie said, only the best one can get special treatment.
…… I guess that’s natural. After all, she is the best.
“Sophie. Do you think I can beat Fiine?”
“…… You want to be the Master’s wife, too, Miss Yudit?”
“Yes …… But if I do, will we bathe together? I-I’m still a little embarrassed about that.”
“You don’t mind that the Master has more than one wife?”
“What? Because the human race is also polygamous, isn’t it? The angels are the same.”
“…… I see.”
After I left the bath while talking with Sophie, I found Monica, the maid, in the changing room…
“Miss Yudit. We don’t have any clothes that take into account the wings, so …… I made a simple outfit out of cloth for now, what do you think?”
“That’s good enough. Thank you.”
She gave me a new skirt and a piece of cloth that was open at the back and cover my breasts.
After that, Monica also went to the bath with Alex and the others ……. Wait, she’s dressed as a maid even though she’s his wife?
But Sophie said that she also serves Alex, right?
And by serving, she meant as a maid or something, right? Sophie’s outfit is a white robe, so she doesn’t feel like a maid.
Rather than that, does that mean that Monica, who originally served as a maid, was proposed to by Alex?
As expected, he won’t make the woman propose to him, right? Or does the human race propose marriage even from a woman?
……Next time I’ll ask Monica to tell me how she approached Alex!
