Chapter 1640 - 1126: The Royal Clan (2)
Only the Rain Clan and the Mirror Clan, these two clans finally awoke, realized their sins, and planned to atone for them.
Therefore, the Rain Clan secretly hid the fairies from paradise and adopted Morgan, who was still known as Vivian at the time, raising her to adulthood. The Mirror Clan also made a prophecy, announcing the birth of the child of prophecy, proclaiming that she would become the true king, overthrow Morgan, the false king, and ascend the throne.
Reiger even knew that, in fact, at the beginning, Altoria did not actually drift to the coast near Tintagel. Instead, like Morgan, she drifted north and was discovered by the Mirror Clan residing in the lake district.
The Mirror Clan originally intended to secretly adopt Altoria just like the Rain Clan. However, the Mirror Clan’s luck was particularly bad, as shortly after discovering the drifting Altoria, a calamitous disaster befell them, resulting in their annihilation.
Helplessly, the Mirror Clan could only place Altoria back on the boat, filling it with gold and silver treasures, hoping that the next discoverer could use them to support her.
As a result, the villagers of Tintagel Village, who discovered Altoria, divided up the gold and silver treasures.
The two enlightened fairy clans ultimately ended in destruction, being clans that had migrated north thousands of years ago, leaving their original lands of Britain...
This led Reiger to suspect that perhaps because these two clans left their original Britain, parted ways with the original fairy clans, and were cleansed on Albion’s remains, they distanced themselves from the influence of original sin and the curse, gradually realizing their mistakes.
This is only a hypothesis.
But such coincidences led Reiger to suspect that this hypothesis might be true.
While Reiger was lost in thought, Habettelot’s account had not yet concluded.
"Several thousand more years passed, bringing us to around the year 2000 of the fairy calendar."
"That year, the Northern Fairy Queen Mab, blessed by Albion, led the fairies from West Island and launched a war from the north of Britain."
"This was a war of vengeance, known to future generations as the Summer War."
"In this battle, the army led by Queen Mab unleashed astonishing power and with human assistance, nearly defeated all the clans."
"But just as Mab was about to claim victory in the war, Rui intervened, defeated Queen Mab, and as a mediator, persuaded her to withdraw."
With the intervention of the savior Rui, Mab’s army retreated.
Conversely, the fairy clans were also forced to acknowledge Mab’s presence and return part of the northern land, allowing Mab to return to her original homeland.
"At that time, the Rain Clan was already annihilated, leaving only five of the six fairy clans: Tusk, Wind, Earth, Wing, and Mirror."
"Thus, Mab was recognized as the new clan in Britain, filling the vacancy of the annihilated Rain Clan."
"Thus, the new six great fairy clans of Britain were born, and the royal clan consisting of only Queen Mab was established."
This is the origin and reason for the birth of the royal clan.
Because only Mab, the Northern Fairy, survived, while the others were either exiled fairies or humans, the true royal clan fairy was only Queen Mab herself.
Then around the fairy calendar year 400, humans, who were gradually prospering, began to arm uprisings, with Yuse, Rui’s disciple, as their leader, leading the Round Table, and with the savior’s assistance, warring against the fairy clans.
The third full-scale war of Britain, the Autumn War, thus broke out, concluding with a human victory.
The final result need not be elaborated; as the new king and victor, Yuse was poisoned at the coronation ceremony, Londinium fell, Britain plunged once again into turmoil, and Rui, disillusioned with Britain’s fairies, decided to no longer save them, but only to guard the land of Britain.
The last Winter War was the conquest initiated unilaterally by Morgan, who single-handedly defeated all the fairy clans and held a coronation in Salisbury Cathedral, becoming the Queen of Britain.
"However, Mab seemed dissatisfied with Morgan’s tyrannical rule. Furthermore, Morgan’s establishment of human ranches was contrary to Queen Mab’s ideals, which advocated peaceful coexistence with humans and had once received human assistance. So, in the year 400 of the Queen’s Calendar, Mab once again mobilized her army, intending to overthrow Morgan."
"But this time, the war did not erupt."
"Morgan and Mab had a secret meeting, and after the meeting, Mab voluntarily withdrew her troops."
While everyone was still puzzled by Habettelot’s account, Reiger, who had finished contemplating, silently spoke to himself.
"Because Morgan revealed the truth of this world to Mab, Mab reached a secret agreement with Morgan, withdrew her troops, and returned to the north."
After learning the truth of Britain’s curse and its doomed future, Mab withdrew her troops, reached an agreement with Morgan, and returned to the north of Britain.
"Overall, the relationship between the southern fairies and the northern fairies is very tense, and because of past enmity, the relationship between the royal clan and the other fairy clans is also very bad."
Habettelot summarized.
"Now, the royal clan’s tolerance for Morgan’s rule has reached its limit, and their dissatisfaction with Morgan has accumulated to the extreme."
"In such a situation, the royal clan has once again declared war on the queen’s army."
This is the reason why the royal clan defies the queen.
"Facing the royal clan that nearly conquered all of Britain before, even Morgan doesn’t dare to recklessly crush them with sheer force like before."
Habettelot shrugged.
"Therefore, if we truly want to defeat the queen’s army, getting the royal clan’s support would undoubtedly be a great boon."
Frankly speaking, in the face of the mighty queen’s army, whether it be the Round Table army or the former Sheffield, they are merely paper tigers.
Morgan does not even regard them as enemies, only viewing them as rebels to be purged.
It is only the royal clan that Morgan sees as a true enemy, one she dares not be rash with.
Although the royal clan has only one person, this person not only possesses Albion’s blessing but is also powerful enough to outweigh any one of the six fairy clan leaders, including the Tusk Clan chieftain who serves as a deputy.
Therefore, Morgan has great regard for the royal clan and at least does not dismiss them as insignificant mobs.
If the Round Table army could ally with the royal clan, they would pose a considerable threat to the queen’s army.
In addition to Reiger’s assistance, and Altoria’s enchantment and Chaldea’s summoning technique, they could finally stand a chance against the queen’s army.
This way, Reiger could also accomplish his own objectives.
"Then... are we going to negotiate with Queen Mab now?"
The question from Matthew wasn’t answered by Habettelot.
"No, that’s not it."
Altoria finally stopped being an ostrich, raised her head, and spoke.
"After the year 400 of the Queen’s Calendar, Queen Mab has already passed away. The current queen of the royal clan is not Queen Mab but her successor."
Thinking of the distinct personality of the northern fairy queen, Altoria’s tone became a bit nuanced.
"She was a fairy born in Edinburgh in the year 1900 of the Queen’s Calendar. For a long time, she has been committed to fighting Morgan, intending to dethrone Morgan and crown herself as queen."
"At the same time, unlike her predecessor Mab, she has always been unwilling to trust humans, even somewhat disliking them."
"Her name is Noconalay."
During the conversation, in front of the running eight-legged horse, on the other side of the land, a castle slowly appeared on the horizon.
That is Edinburgh, a city continuously absorbing the earth’s magical elements.
