Chapter 1643 - 1128: Why Don’t You Just Get Married Already
"————"
Under Altoria’s confrontational declaration, the tension at the scene grew thicker and thicker.
The eyes of the fairies surrounding everyone became increasingly hostile, with some faces fully venting their anger and murderous intent, as if they were ready to charge at Reiger and the others for a life-or-death struggle.
It’s understandable, because to the fairies of the King’s Clan, their queen isn’t Morgan, but Mab and Noconalay.
If it weren’t for Mab and Noconalay, they would have already perished in the wilderness, and wouldn’t have been taken in.
Even though it’s unclear if their feelings are genuine, when someone speaks to Noconalay like this in front of them, they have to show some reaction.
Thus...
"Seize them!"
With an angry shout, the fairies started to tighten the encirclement.
Bang...
The giants also wielded stone spears, moving with heavy steps closer to Reiger and the others.
In this situation, Matthew, Da Vinci, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others seemed to want to explain something, while Altoria and Habettelot appeared ready for action. However, Reiger’s attention was not on the people at the scene, but focused in another direction.
He had already sensed it, a familiar Magic Power approaching.
It was the same Magic Power that permeated the whole of Edinburgh, detectable on every fairy and giant.
"Stop!"
Soon after, a sweet voice rang out, making all the fairies and giants who were ready to attack Reiger and the others come to a halt.
"That is..."
Including Reiger, everyone saw the figure slowly approaching.
It was a girl radiating a powerful aura, seemingly only slightly older than Altoria.
The girl, like Altoria, lacked any obvious features of a British fairy, with an appearance almost indistinguishable from a human.
Her slender figure and attire were less reminiscent of a queen and more of a duchess. Her pink hair was tied into a single braid that hung over her front, while her eyes were filled with confidence and pride, making it difficult for ordinary people to meet her gaze.
At first glance, she seemed just a confident and beautiful human girl, yet her aura, the overall atmosphere, and even the constant floating heart-shaped background behind her signaled she was no ordinary human girl.
"Noconalay!"
Altoria called out her name, revealing her identity.
She was the current queen of the Northern Fairies, originally the sole clan of kings in Britain—Noconalay.
"It’s really you, Altoria."
The girl seemed to look at Altoria immediately, gazing at his academy-styled magical uniform, squinting her eyes in a charming manner.
"As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was you. Never expecting that the country bumpkin who couldn’t afford a decent dress back then would now not only dress appropriately but dare to boldly shout out my name in my Edinburgh."
At these words, Altoria couldn’t help but reminisce.
The reason Altoria knew Noconalay was due to a chance encounter.
It had been five years ago.
At the time, a beauty contest was held in the fashion capital of Gloucester, garnering considerable attention across Britain, to the point that rumors even spread to the northern Edinburgh and the remote countryside of Tintagel.
Back then, Noconalay had yet to become the leader of the King’s Clan, but upon the elders’ advice, ventured to Gloucester to participate in the beauty contest as a political strategy to voice her presence to Britain.
Coincidentally, Tintagel also viewed this as an opportunity to promote the prophesied child, hence forced Altoria to Gloucester to partake in the beauty contest.
Noconalay met Altoria under these conditions, discerning Altoria’s potential immediately and believing she would be the one to duel her at the end.
However, Altoria was too poor, and the fairies of Tintagel were neither willing nor able to spend money to prepare her a decent outfit, so shortly after the competition started, Altoria was eliminated.
Noconalay, who had never been short of money nor worn impoverished clothes since childhood, didn’t understand but was greatly shocked and furious, even seeking Altoria out and clinging to her.
This led them to become a pair of noisy good friends, but soon returned to their respective hometowns, abiding by the original arrangements, one assuming leadership of the King’s Clan, the other continued to languish in the stables and dungeons, wasting time.
Now, after five years, they met again under such circumstances...
Although they had only met once before, the present atmosphere between them indicated that their brief interaction left a profound impression in their hearts.
For Altoria, Noconalay was someone who didn’t understand the sufferings of the world and extremely self-centered. She both admired Noconalay’s life and character with some envy, jealousy, and hatred, thus always harbored the notion of "not wanting to appear weak in front of her, preferably surpass her."
