Chapter 2: The circumstance that led to the awakening.

Angel's POV:

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, after all, I was facing someone of noble status and coming from a powerful family ... but more than that it was precisely why I didn't understand why she choose me, after all I didnt have magic so i had no use to her.

I couldn't understand why that girl choose me, but I also had no choice but to go with what was said to me after all ...

Getting myself up, i picked my coat and walked over the cell door, it was then... when I left that small, cold and gray like the rain-filled clouds in the sky of a storm cell, that the temperature immediately changed as if I had moved from a cold place to a extremely hot zone. At that very moment, I realized why the weight that the Ignis family had, was not just for decoration.

And thinking for myself i said: "How can a person emit such a fiery aura?"

I just didnt knew that It was something that I would eventually discover in my own way...

Then looking at me coldly, that person who would now become my master, said to me in an assertive tone: "Follow me"

And nothing more was heard from her...

  Me, who could do nothing but obey, followed her carefully and maybe a little bit afraid until we arrived outside of that prison-like place that i want to forget....

   Already on the street outside the Slave Crest, she went to a carriage full of rich decorations and of course with the symbol of the house Ignis on its top... it was surely a noble carriage just like some princess would have...

   Inwardly i laughed at the sight that i beholded in front... "my master is now some rich girl from a noble family, but will they be good masters...or evil scums that will abuse me?", that was my only thought as i followed her silently... she then got in and looked at me confused to why i was not entering, in fact i should not do so, because slaves never acompanied their master inside their own carriages, but she then ordered me to do so...and so i climbed it and got myself on the sit in front of her while looking down.

  She then ordered the man to direct us to "our" residence, and thus the journey home begun.

****

Our trip was silent and fast in progress, but from what I heard from the conversation between my lady and the man who was driving us home, due to an accident that had occurred on a road that we were going to pass, we were then kind of forced to take a less secure route through a valley that would be further away from home.

I do not know if I would have had a cold face that conveyed fear and a little anxious look, but my lady looked at me and said:

"Don't worry too much, even if it is a road where mercenaries are found usually roaming, none of them would have the courage to threaten a high nobility like me!"

And with a gentle smile, which refuted the first personality I had witnessed in that beautiful girl, my heart felt relieved.

And when I was just letting myself be carried away by that goddess in front of me ... when I just relaxed and lost myself in that beautiful look of hers...

A crash occurred.

"It was a blast, but where and why?" The carriage also stopped completely at that moment, my lady tried to still speak from the inside to the driver, but nothing was received back ... "only mercenaries could have killed the driver", I said, shaking while my lady got up with urge.

Perplexed by the situation, I just kept crouching in the wagon, but the same did not happen with my master ...

Beatrice Ignis POV:

" Don't worry too much, even if it is a road where mercenaries are found usually roaming, none of them would have the courage to threaten a high nobility like me! "

"That is what i said ... but now this is happening?", Was what i said to myself as i hopped out of the carriage.

Seeing my surroundings, I was able to capture around 20 men with torn clothes and old weapons ... after all they were not mercenaries as my servant mentioned but thieves? "This is going to be easier than I thought ..." I said to myself.

"But something is not right ... even if they are thieves or bandits ... they would not dare to do something against a high blood like me ... so what could it be?"

It was then, that I discovered that among all of those thieves, a strong aura was pairing in the air.. it was a high rank mercenary ... that is said to be a mercenary capable of having a magic rank comparable or higher than mine, "so what now?", I thought for myself...

There is no way of knowing if I can handle them all on my own ... but I have no chance, I could run away ... but what would happen to my servant if I really did?

That was something I would never do! No matter what happened, I was going to find a way to control the situation... i needed to! And it was then that the bandits started heading towards me ...

  So I looked at them and said raising my Magic Aura, "You will only find death if you decide to approach us!"

And one of the bandits closest to me, then said while laughing: "You talk a lot, as if you were strong enough to protect that sissy one behind you ... but you are just a commodity that will be snatched by us, whatever you say wont matter, ahahahah "

"tch, we will see that!"

I said, already a little angry ... and one by one I burned them down, but none of them seemed to either give up or be afraid, and suddenly I felt a shiver in my spine and instinctively, I backed away as quickly as possible.

It was then that I saw a crack in the ground where I had been and then I understood ... that mercenary, that bastard is a wind user, it looks like this is going to be complicated.

Preparing for a long-distance battle, I invoked without saying a single word, 10 magma spheres and hurled them towards my opponent ...

But he, as clever as I expected him to be, created a small tornado of wind and dissipated my spheres without much difficulty ...

"tch I already realized that you are not an ordinary person ... what do you intend to gain from a noblewoman like me?"

"Gaining?" Said the individual as he recited an attack that involved a few hundred blades made of wind around him, "I do this only for the thrill of humiliating a noble and imposing b*tch like you, at least on the outside, ahhaahahah"

Trying to defend myself from all those wind swords that came towards me I invoked a wall of flames ...

...but apparently it was not strong enough to protect myself from all of them ... thus, i was sent back a few meters , and fell to the ground, full of blood and cuts all over my body ... and so, looking at my servant who was there full of fear but unable to abandon me ... making me feel like a failure, i said: "it looks like I'm not strong enough to beat a high-ranking mercenary, so I want you to listen to my order and run! run away and don't stop! "

"M-master! How could I do that! You are my lady!" Said the boy, a little younger than me in that state of fear.

"sigh, you really are a little special as i thought you were when i found you in those cells, but listen to m -..."

-Boom

An explosion caused by the encounter of cold and hot winds created by the mercenary gives way on the place where I was ...

Angel's POV:

Boom

An explosion occurs right in front of me ... and the only thing my eyes followed next was my lady's body flying a few meters in the air and falling down right in front of me ...

Seeing that scene unfolding in my own eyes, I could not contain my concern, after all even though I was a slave ... I saw that beautiful lady as my savior, the one who took me out of that prison and who could give me maybe, a life that I I was just wondering how it would turn to be ... and then from the bottom of my soul I screamed, "my ladyyyyy!"

"Pffft, so sad ... what a pity of a woman ... if not so mistreated i could make a fortune with her body ... well i still can i guess.", said the mercenary.

But as he said so, i could only see one thing my mind and that was a piece of my memory when i was a baby..well i guess, and the image of a beautiful and goddess like woman with blonde hair and red eyes, crying while looking at me with regretful  beautiful red eyes...

And as the man that was still saying something that i didnt hear i can only remember myself losing conscience of what i was doing and then i can only remember something dark... that embraced me as if it was comforting me ... and nothing more ...

(I had passed out)

??? POV:

I received a signal of help through the necklace from our family, and that request came from the valley in front of me ... thinking about who could be the issuer of the help request, I came to just one conclusion.

My sister was the Summoner of the sign ... but ...

what the hell happened here?

Watching the burnt forest down to the last possible molecule of life ... I found my sister's body lying on the ground in the distance. I hurried to check her condition, and when I reached her I managed to feel that she was alive, but ... what the hell happened? Looking up, I could only see open terrain ... stretched for tens of kilometers which did not contain any life ... what did this do ?, no ... the right question would be who was the one responsible for this... and, a few meters away from my sister was a young man lying in a place that miraculously contained grass and flowers ... and i could already imagine what would have caused this total catastrophe ... and thinking out loud i said:

"Sis, after all the discussion you had with our father about whether or not to have a servant of your own ... you brought one with you, ahhaahah"

"You brought a bearer of death magic ..."

" i cant even believe you found a person capable of such possession ... he will have the power to not only change the destiny of our family ... but as well of the whole Britain ... haahha you really did it you damned sister ...
