Chapter 1647 - 1130: Innocent From Beginning to End
Anyone could tell that Noconalay was very fond of Reiger.
Or rather, she had a great interest in Reiger.
"To be chosen by that Winter Witch to be her husband, and to make that troublesome country girl so worried about you, it’s really curious—what kind of magic power do you have?"
Noconalay ignored the angry glare from Altoria and spoke to Reiger on her own.
"I don’t like humans, but I do like powerful warriors."
"Especially a warrior whom even Morgan couldn’t help but compete for. Since you want to contend with that witch for the throne, I might as well acquire a card or two that would surprise her."
"Let me hear, what insights do you have?"
Although Noconalay’s questioning made Altoria very dissatisfied, it also put Da Vinci and the others at a loss for words; the crowd still focused their eyes on Reiger.
To this, Reiger never changed his stance from beginning to end.
"From the very start, I have always insisted on one claim."
Reiger calmly threw out these words.
"Britain has no future, and the fairies are beyond salvation."
"So, in my view, your fight for the throne of Britain is actually meaningless."
"When Britain is destroyed, by then, any kind of throne will be void."
These words caused Altoria and the others, who already knew Reiger’s thoughts, to fall into silence.
Even the expression of interest on Noconalay’s face disappeared, replaced by a deep frown.
"Do you think so poorly of Britain’s future?"
Noconalay asked with a frown.
"Should I think well of it?" Reiger met Noconalay’s gaze and said, "As the successor of Queen Mab, I think you should already know the truth of this Britain’s existence, right?"
Noconalay fell silent instantly.
In the year 400 of the Queen’s reign, Queen Mab, once again getting the idea to march south due to the human ranches, learned the truth of this world from Morgan and became aware of Britain’s and the fairies’ original sins.
Now, 1600 years have passed, Queen Mab has passed away, but as her successor, her next in line, Noconalay naturally also knows the truth of the world.
How did the Original Six Fairies neglect their mission, leading the land to become a Sea of Nothingness, and how did they deceive and murder the Beast God Cornus, dismembering His cherished human Witch...
How was Britain’s land formed in the first place?
What is this rampant ancient curse on the land about?
Noconalay knows all of this.
"Even if you really overthrow Morgan, sit on the throne, and with the throne’s magic power save Britain, weathering the destruction brought by the ’Great Catastrophe,’ how long can you protect this island?"
Reiger’s calm voice sounded, revealing the harsh reality.
"As long as Britain exists for a day, the Beast God’s Curse will not disappear for a day."
"His grudge, His anger, all are perfectly understandable."
"The Northern fairies initially did not need to bear this curse, this grudge and anger, but if you become Britain’s queen, then all fairies and humans, including your subjects, will uniformly face the threat of the curse."
"In the face of this curse, even the Original Six Fairies from the Inner Sea of the Star all perished without exception. You... how long can you protect Britain?"
Reiger lifted his gaze, looking at the silent Noconalay, and continued speaking.
"Britain is destined to be destroyed sooner or later."
"Even if not this time, it will be the next."
"Even if not the next, then the one after that."
"Unless the Beast God Cornus ceases to hate the fairies, ceases to feel anger and sorrow for the death of His Witch, but this is evidently impossible."
"And as long as His curse remains, Britain will repeatedly face threats, and the fairies will die off massively time and again until there are none left, and no new generation can be born."
Just like the original story, even though Chaldea tried so hard, and Altoria sacrificed so much, with so many people struggling and fighting desperately, Britain still could not escape the fate of ultimate extinction.
Reiger never considered saving this sin-laden island; he wasn’t kind enough to clean up for fairies as malevolent as that.
How many times has the savior tried to rescue Britain?
How many fairies have been saved by her?
In the end?
What she endures is still betrayal upon betrayal from the fairies, disgust upon disgust, even punishment and torture time after time, without end.
Ironically, when Morgan was utterly disappointed, even in despair, deciding no longer to save the fairies, she instead ruled over the world, feared and dreaded by all fairies, with no fairy daring to challenge her anymore.
At least, before Morgan showed any signs of collapse, no matter how displeased they were with her, the fairies all had to lower their heads, meekly complying without the slightest defiance.
Until Morgan fell, those fairies immediately started to backstab, and in a brutal way, beat her to death.
Such a despicable bunch, why bother going through the trouble to save them?
Therefore, Reiger always said, in terms of attitude towards the fairies, he and Morgan are aligned.
The only difference between the two was that Morgan wanted to protect Britain and her kingdom at all costs, while Reiger saw no necessity in preserving such a crime-filled land.
