My mother's love song

Rhodes paused and said, "But before that..."

The young man put his hands around the back of the fairy knight's voluptuous thighs, then moved them to the inside, thus spreading the two slender legs apart.

"I have some things I just accumulated that I want the little princess to take care of...

Please accept it with gratitude, and don’t forget the cleaning steps I taught you after you are done, okay?”

……

……

……

The only port in the fairy kingdom, the blacksmith city of Norwich.

The city had already fallen to the hands of the Son of Prophecy and the Round Table Army several days ago.

The Child of Prophecy rang the pilgrimage bell in Norwich and then returned to Londinium.

The same was true for the Round Table Army. They had no legal right to station troops in Norwich, and they had to concentrate their forces to deal with the incoming Queen's Army.

The city still belongs to Spriggan, the chief of the Earth Clan who is loyal to Queen Morgan, but it has lost its strategic value to both sides.

"This is obviously the largest weapons factory in Britain, but no one wants to occupy it...

It's true. The level of warfare in this world is still at the pre-Qin and Spring and Autumn Period... No, to use your country's terms, it should be the era before the birth of Mori Motonari.

In the fairy kingdom, war is still a noble family activity where everyone respects each other."

At night in Norwich, in the so-called indestructible fortress city of Treasury, two men were talking across a table.

There was a chessboard on the low table in front of them. Although the layout of the chessboard was similar to that of chess, the shapes of the chess pieces were very special.

The pentagonal wooden pieces kept hitting the wooden chessboard, making crisp sounds.

The black-haired human boy and the blond fairy clan leaders Rod and Spriggan are playing Japanese shogi.

“Hahaha…the innocent side of the fairies really helped a lot.

I haven't had a good night's sleep since two days ago, and the orders keep coming in like heavy rain.

Camelot, Londinium, Edinburgh... iron was sold at a rapid rate, and everywhere was in a state of frenzy because of the war.

Not only the upper-level goblins in the city, but even the lower-level goblins scattered in the forest are ready to move.

They shouted that they would follow the Son of Prophecy, defeat Morgan, and establish a fairy kingdom without clan or class distinction.

Oh my, they really are causing trouble for others... These guys don't understand the greatness of His Majesty Morgan who has protected Britain for 2000 years."

Rhodes took a sip of matcha, which was very rare in Britain, and raised his eyes slightly: "What a surprise, you actually agree with Morgan's rule."

"No, no, no, I am just stating the facts. Your Majesty should really abdicate and rest."

Spriggan said after making a move.

“It’s not that the queen is bad, it’s just that she’s been in power for too long.

Her Majesty has built a good country, but her values ​​are outdated. After all, she lived 2000 years ago.

During this period, fairies have been updated for several generations, and their values ​​have been iterated.

Coexist with nature and continue to manage humans...Under such a policy, this island will always be this big.

There is nothing more terrible than the reproach of old age, and the old parts must be replaced."

Rhodes slapped the car on the chessboard and sighed, "Really, you actually degraded someone else's sweetheart like this.

Although His Majesty Morgan is a little old, it is at this age that he is full of charm...

One day or another I shall make her mine, and that is why I have destroyed New Darlington."

Spriggan glanced at the grinning boy and felt a little chilly.

"So what happened? Hey, hey, hey, New Darlington turned into a dead city overnight.

Not a single person was left alive. Thanks to you, all my investment has gone to waste.

I was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to make some money, so I listened to you and lent money to the rebels.

Now I have lost both my money and my life. I have nothing left.”

Rhode smiled and said, "Don't say that, Spriggan. Although we lost New Darlington, didn't we get Tristan, the daughter of the queen?"

"What use can a low-level fairy like that be if it's just the Queen's whim?"

Looking at the disdainful blond fairy, Rhode's smile deepened: "Don't play dumb, Spriggan, you actually noticed it...

The true value of that little brat."

The boy's black pupils emitted a sharp light.

"Even if no one in Britain realizes it, only you, Spriggan,

As a tenacious human who drifted here from pan-human history and lived in the fairy country for 100 years.

A cunning human who became the clan leader by killing his friends and replacing them.

You should have noticed... how irreplaceable and important Tristan is to Morgan."

The head of the Earth Clan, Spriggan is not a fairy, but a human who drifted from the pan-human world.

At the end of the Edo period when the times were undergoing turbulent changes, he disguised himself as a crew member and sneaked onto a ship bound for studying in the British Empire. However, on his way back, he accidentally became a drifter and arrived in the Land of Fairies.

He was captured as a slave in the fairy kingdom and experienced 30 years of bitterness.

After regaining his freedom, he concealed his true identity, hired goblins, and started a company.

Let the goblins kill the goblins, dissect and study them, and make drugs to inhibit aging. The effect is minimal but better than nothing.

Later, the human relied on his business acumen to become the secretary of the chief of the Earth Clan.

The clan leader regarded him as an important friend and a wise man, and together they opened the first comprehensive shopping mall in the Fairy Kingdom, Spriggan & Caples.

Caples is the name of the human race, but

After he killed his friend, Spriggan became the name of mankind, and the seat of the chief of the Earth Clan also fell into his pocket.

Spriggan was silent for a moment and then nodded: “Hmph… you figured it out too.

Yes, she will be our important weapon to control the Queen.

Fairy Knight Tristan, she is probably the only weakness of the invincible Majesty Morgan.

So, you should stop at the right time...don't ruin her before she can be of any use."

Rhode waved his hand: "Don't worry, don't worry... I'm almost tired of it."

"So fast?"

"After all, it's just a low-level fairy..."

The boy held his chin up and said in a bored tone, “Even if I wear the most expensive dress, even if I inherit the Queen’s magic, the fact that my bloodline is lowly will not change.

I've gotten bored after just two days. It turns out that if anyone wants to invade, it has to be a great goblin of noble birth like His Majesty Morgan.

By the way, do you want me to lend you Tristan for a night?

Ah... sorry, I forgot.

Although you look young on the outside, Spriggan, you are already over 120 years old on the inside. "

"........."

Although there was some sarcasm in the boy's words, such as "You're no longer manly, are you?", that was indeed a fact decades ago, and Spriggan did not deny it.

He said calmly: "Yes, I am too old, so old that I don't have many years to live.

Unlike fairies, I don't have a [next generation]... Therefore, in the last moments of my life, I must absolutely fulfill my dream.

No matter what, I must protect this vault city that I have spent a hundred years to build, as well as all the collections in the city."

While Spriggan was giving an emotional speech about his love for the Treasury City, Rhodes secretly turned the knight on the chessboard over.

"Let's get back to the previous topic. I heard a rumor when I was in New Darlington."

Rhodes said leisurely while secretly rejoicing that his cheating was not discovered.

"I heard that the predecessor of New Darlington's last Lord Tristan died in a fire in his own mansion, but that's too strange..."

"What's so strange about this? This kind of thing is very common in the fairy kingdom. Fairies are creatures that do pure evil.

Whether it is murder or arson, in their eyes it is just a prank.

Isn't there something similar in pan-human history? There are legends about fairies stealing human children and hiding them. "

Rhodes shook his head: "No, that's not the extent of a prank.

After all, the lord's mansion should have been set up with a considerable magical barrier, and a playful fire was not enough to burn down the house. This should be a clear crime.

Someone must have instigated the citizens of Darlington to set fire to the Lord's mansion."

Spriggan noticed that the boy was staring at him with a meaningful look.

After a while, he sighed.

"As expected of you... Have you noticed it?"

Then, Spriggan readily admitted, "Just as you said, I was the one who secretly instigated the goblins to set fire to the lord's mansion."

Rhode didn't show any surprise, but just asked calmly: "Why?"

The human disguised as a fairy took a look around at the artifacts that were carefully protected and stored in the Treasury City, and replied.

"That woman cannot understand the value of a work of art."

Rhodes blinked: "…………Ah?"

"No... not only her, no one in this fairy country! No one! Even His Majesty Morgan doesn't understand the value of art!"

Spriggan became agitated.

"Human imitations are nothing! Indeed, nine out of ten of them are fakes, garbage without substance.

But in pairs, they appear from the soil, miraculously authentic!

This is art that can be called truth! This is the best work that will ever be born in this country [Lostbelt]!

Yes, yes! If you don’t understand the value, then you don’t understand it. It’s stupid to explain it to ordinary people bit by bit!

But the woman in Darlington, Tristan's predecessor... I had already offered her a high price with sincerity to buy it, but she answered me

"I'm sorry, but this is a valuable relic excavated from the land of Darlington. It cannot be traded and should be presented to Her Majesty the Queen."

What a joke! How cliché! You want to present a work of art to a queen who doesn't even know how to appreciate it!

So I persuaded the Darlington goblins to kill her, set fire to her mansion, and take all the art inside!

All the works of art in Britain are mine, and that's what I live for!

From that day on, from the moment I was lost in this world!

My soul has been enchanted by this world... Collecting these treasures is the meaning of my existence!

……

......"

While Spriggan was still giving his speech excitedly, Rhodes was already rubbing his temple speechlessly.

"Just because of such a boring reason..."

"You said...bored?"

"Okay, you're right. I'm tired."

Rhodes was too lazy to continue arguing with him. He sank his tired body into the sofa and shouted at the door of the room.

"You can come in now."

"……what?"

Under Spriggan's surprised eyes, the fairy knight Tristan, wearing a scarlet dress and high heels, walked into the room.

"Come on, come on. Your conversation with Caples was so boring that I almost fell asleep waiting outside the door."

Tristan came to the back of the sofa, put his arms around the boy's neck affectionately, and rubbed his cheek.

"I'm sorry, little princess, for making you listen to two uncles chatting for so long."
