My mother's love song

"What? Are the Queen's troops here?"

Rhodes and Habertlot rushed out of the room and came to the hall where the throne was.

There was an anxious and tense atmosphere in the air.

The Child of Prophecy holding the Staff of Selection faced off against the Lord of the Fang Clan.

"Little girl, what did you just say?"

"Boggart! I demand a fair goblin duel with you!"

Altria's clear and sharp voice echoed in the hall.

"If...if I beat you, Rhodes will become my princess!"

Chapter 845: The Son of Prophecy was Backstabbed by the Princess...?

"Boggart! I demand a fair goblin duel with you!"

The Son of Prophecy's stern and solemn words echoed between the thrones.

"If I beat you, Rhodes will become my princess!"

""

After the girl threw out the white handkerchief as an invitation to a knight duel, silence fell around her.

The people who watched this scene included Rhodes and Habertlot who came out of the workshop, and Hector and White Wolf who came with Altria.

Besides them, there were Sheffield's human guards.

After a few seconds, someone finally reacted.

"…How dare you! You little girl! What are you saying to Master Boggart?!"

The soldiers rushed forward and hurriedly detained the girl who made disrespectful remarks on the ground.

As expected, she is the weakest Altria, even human power can suppress her.

However, it was this child of prophecy who challenged the goblin lord.

Although he has fallen now, he was once a hero in the Morse War and a great goblin who competed with Woodworth for the position of the strongest in the Fang Clan, the Rock Lion Boggart.

"Are you scared, Lion Head? I won't lose to you!"

Even though she was pinned down by the soldiers, she still stared at the Boggart, jumping up and down and shouting.

"If you still have the pride of the Fang Clan, accept my challenge! Fight me for the princess's right to marry!"

"Please don't pay any attention to such a person, Master Boggart. She is not worth your effort at all!"

The human soldiers were about to forcibly take Altria out of the hall, while Rhodes was watching the show with great interest.

"Hey, what should we do? The Child of Prophecy is going to be thrown into jail! Isn't she yours?"

Before Rhodes could get anxious, Habertlot became anxious first.

The young man said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay, just keep reading."

Sure enough, the Boggart raised his hand, stopping the soldiers.

"Interesting. Even lower-level fairies can't match your magic power, and a little girl like you actually wants to duel with me... I, a Boggart, am also looked down upon.

If this matter were to get to the ears of Woodworth and Spriggan, they would probably be ridiculed for a hundred years.

but"

The white lion fairy grinned: "Since you claim that you are the son of prophecy who will defeat the queen! Then I have reason to accept your challenge!"

"Oh!"

Artoria shuddered and pushed the soldiers away.

She swallowed, gripped her cane, and asked, "So...what's the duel about?"

Boggart frowned, "Of course we fought, didn't you just mention the pride of the Fang Clan?

I will fight you one on one, even if you use magic. If you can defeat me, the boy will be yours."

Hearing him say this, Altria's face turned pale.

Although she had launched the challenge in a fit of rage, the power gap between her and the Boggart was too great.

"I thought a duel between fairies would be a test of etiquette or arithmetic..."

The Boggart snorted unhappily. "Do you think you can beat me in etiquette and arithmetic?"

"That's right...that's true."

Altria hung her head in sorrow.

……

……

……

The duel between the Son of Prophecy and Lord Boggart was scheduled for the morning of the next day.

The stakes were the princess, and the winner of the duel would be given the honorable right to marry Rod.

At night, in the guest room prepared for the Son of Prophecy.

"Hey hey hey hey hey! You were there when I declared war on the Boggart!?"

Altria's cute cheeks flushed red, and she screamed with her eyes about to pop out.

“Then…then then then then…did you hear everything I said!?!?!?”

Rhodes nodded, and then imitated the tone of the Son of Prophecy perfectly.

"Boggart! I demand a fair goblin duel with you!"

"If I beat you, Rhodes will become my princess!"

"Stop it!!!!"

With her face as red as an apple, Altria threw herself on Rod and beat his chest desperately.

“Forget it! Forget it! You’ve forgotten it! Wuu ...

"Ha ha ha ha."

The boy laughed and reached out to grab her flailing wrists.

"Still laughing! Stop laughing, you idiot Rod!"

The Son of Prophecy stared at Rhodes resentfully with tears in his eyes.

"Anyway, you are just laughing at me for overestimating my own abilities... How could a goblin like me possibly defeat a Boggart!"

Hearing her say this, the corners of Rhodes' mouth slightly raised.

He said, "You know exactly what I'm thinking, don't you?"

The blonde girl turned her rosy and beautiful face and said faintly, "I... I don't know..."

"Why would I have accompanied you on your tour of Britain if I didn't think you could defeat a Boggart?

Altria, in my opinion, you are the only person in Britain who can stand up to Morgan."

"...Woo!"

The blush on the face of the Son of Prophecy deepened. Rhodes leaned down slightly and said to her.

"Come on, Altria, I'll be on your side."

The girl felt a surge of warmth in her chest and she leaned her head against the boy's shoulder, murmuring softly.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say at this time...

Although I have said it many, many times, I don't know how many times I have said it to you, but I can only say this

Thank you, Rhodes... No, that's not right, my king, queen... Guwu!"

"It's okay. It's my duty. I'll be leaving first then."

Rhodes pushed Altria away from his arms coldly.

"……Why?"

The girl blinked her eyes and said, "Isn't it time for special training next?

Rhodes will teach me a super powerful ultimate move and help me defeat the evil lord..."

"No, I'm not that ignorant of romance."

Rhodes said as if it was a matter of course.

"This is a fair duel between you and the Boggart. There is no room for me to interfere.

You should be confident of winning after making such a harsh statement in front of everyone, right?

I look forward to your report, so goodbye.

Good night, Altria."

The boy patted the Child of Prophecy's head gently and left the room amid the latter's desperate expression.

……

……

……

Sheffield, above the fortress walls.

"Ohhhhhhh! My beautiful bride, you are finally here!"

Boggart opened his arms to the boy who was walking towards him, showing his broad and powerful chest: "Come, my princess! Let's enjoy ourselves in the moonlight..."

"Stop it, it's disgusting."

Rhode waved his hand, interrupting the lion head's rutting: "Although my fairy eyes are not of high level, I can still see colors...

You are not interested in this, are you? Stop pretending to be so."

"Hmph...it's not a bad idea to change your taste occasionally."

The Boggart sneered, holding onto the wall, and turned his gaze from the boy to the town scenery in the distance.

"My princess, why are you still not resting so late? Do you have something important to report?"

Rhodes also came to the edge of the city wall and looked out at the town with Boggart.

After comparing Sheffield with the city at the end of Britain [Orkney] in his memory, the boy spoke in a condescending and arrogant tone.

“It’s a pretty good city.”

Because of the news that the lord was going to marry a bride, Sheffield was filled with a festive atmosphere since this morning, and it was not until late at night that it finally returned to peace.

This is a situation that will never happen in any city in the Fairy Kingdom. The people respect and love their king [lord] from the bottom of their hearts.

Sheffield is a recently built northern town that was in ruins until a hundred years ago.

Boggart, who was defeated in the clan chiefs' dispute and driven out of Norwich, worked together with his subjects to carry out the reconstruction work, which led to the present Sheffield.

The residents here are also from Norwich. Most of them were exiled by Lord Spriggan and lost their place to live. It was the Boggart who took them in.

Not only that, Boggart is also the only lord under the Queen's rule who forbids treating humans as slaves.

He sees humans as "exiled compatriots" who have equal status with fairies.

Influenced by his policies, the goblins here like humans very much and have no prejudice.

"Hmph, she's obviously a goblin, but she's doing pretty well."

Rhode changed the subject and said, "If that's the case... then why are you rebelling? You're not an idiot who would let your subjects die with you, are you?"

The fairies and people living in Sheffield love the Lord very much, so

They will follow the Boggart and are even willing to rebel against the terrible Queen for their lord.

Hearing this, Boggart narrowed his eyes unhappily: "You sound as if you're saying that I can't defeat the Queen at all?"

"Do you really think you've won Morgan?"
