Sedna calls her own former lover a "thing".

By extension, she also called herself a 'thing' too. With exceptions like Church, I suspect that the surviving super-soldiers are horrified by what they were made to be and by the fact that they were literally engineered to be slaves.

Ardent didn't previously know that Alice had to serve anyone. There were a thousand and one possible reasons for her to do what she was doing and, frankly, I doubt Ardent cared very much so long as she didn't kill Gavia or interfere with his vacation.

Was that a serious question?
(To be scrupulously fair to Ardent, a casual observer could have gotten the impression that the villagers were serving Alice ...)
cesium133:
This thing about serving the village reminds me of one of the strings left over from the early plot: the villagers don't actually need Alice. They seemed to be doing fine without her. Especially considering she specifically gave them a device to notify her if they needed help. That device hasn't been mentioned at all since.
TheEvilDog:
Guess I was partially right about why Church is serving Pate. He needs a commander.

We've seen her help out and provide advice so it appears the villagers need her especially if they are attacked by someone like Gavia or perhaps some brigands or raiders. However, the village doesn't appear all that old. If it existed for 5000 years there would be a lot more development so either Alice has purposely kept it small and manageable or she's gone through this process many times before which could explain a lot about her outlook. She serves everyone and in an emergency leads, but because she is compelled to serve she never takes power on a permanent basis and rules as a queen, but that's just what we know in the present. Perhaps she felt it was in the people's best interest for her to rule over them and reigned as a queen for some time until she found herself facing a rebellion from the very people she was supposed to serve. This may have lead to some actions she still feels a great degree of guild over since Sedna mentioned she still can't forgive herself. Perhaps her town is just the latest attempt to fulfill her compulsion after previous failures.
