The moment she played her flute, more than twelve beautiful round magic circles began to flutter and dance around Maria's body slowly. On the magic circles, a mixture of various colours from the rainbow merged—a total of twelve fairies appeared, but they were different from normal fairies.
"Ah... so cute..." Maria whispered, seeing the cute females.
Each fairy was wearing a special chainmail and plated armour enchanted by both elven and fey magic.
These twelve guards were born to protect the Queen and were much larger than normal fairies, each of them over eighty centimetres in size and four fluttering wings that were thicker and much more powerful than the normal fairy units.
The Queen's guard they were called.
"Maria, they are now yours and one day will evolve with you to become The Empress's Guard. I hope that you can fight beside him now you are not alone and make sure you smile lots in the future."
