MaruMA:Volume05:Prologue
Prologue
I'm hungry for love.
Let's face it. The moment that my sons grew taller than me, they never gave another thought to loving and honoring their mother, growing to be more and more like their fathers.
If I think back, when I married spouse number one, I still didn't have the bothersome position of maou. Gwendal's father was a man with a grumpy countenance. As a young thing, I was totally smitten by his dour elegance. He looked older than he really was -- looking exactly as Gwen looks today.
Spouse number three was the complete opposite: a young man who was easily carried away into emotional outbursts -- just like an overexcited puppy, that you just had to pet. Although Wolfram looks like me on the outside, his temperament comes entirely from his father.
But the one that left an impression, was meeting Conrad's dad. It was a shocking encounter. We fell in love with each other on one of my travels, when I helped him hide from his pursuers. He was a human who had nothing but his skills with the sword, but I didn't care about his identity or social position. After all, love is the most important thing in the world, and it knows no distinctions!
But then, you know? I saw them. He had two tattoos on his left arm. They were the signs used by humans to mark those who have been found guilty of a serious crime and banished from their lands. He was a criminal on the run.
Ahh, the love of a criminal! How wonderful!
That’s why I'm a huntress of love! As long as there is even the tiniest spark of energy in me, I will draw my bow. No one will escape my arrows of love!
