47. The Drawbacks of Feudalism (Big Lie)
From Nilu’s perspective.
The “palace” of the Rodmar Empire, at first glance, is resplendent and magnificent. After subduing all the fairies and having them work as servants here, it has begun to faintly regain some of its former glory. But for Nilu: whether it’s the fairies she has finally found or those fairy servants in the palace, or even this kingdom that is about to revive its past splendor, it would not be exciting without its “king.”
In the dimly lit palace, where daylight still seems murky, Nilu enters the “king’s” chamber, which only she can access. As usual, she finishes cleaning the room that won’t see its master for a while, then gazes indifferently out the window.
A distinct magical aura emanated from the direction of the altar, and she sensed that the “seal” had been breached by an intruder. Nilu chuckled softly, and at that moment, when the nearest fairy—Claudilus—sent a signal, she opened a passage in the barrier just for her and began to channel magic as the master.
Even if it would anger Mr. Oujilide, that woman must be dealt with.
She restricts Mr. Oujilide’s identity; exploits his power; completely unaware that while she keeps demanding, she repeatedly forces Mr. Oujilide into dangerous situations. Perhaps she had hesitated before: could it be that her actions had provoked Mr. Oujilide’s hostility? But with his attitude before leaving, that trivial thought was quickly dispelled!
“Mr. Oujilide doesn’t dislike me~”
His silence at that moment was the best answer, making it all too simple: isn’t this just the grudge between her and that woman? As for why Mr. Oujilide asked her about “fairies,” the purpose was crystal clear: because that woman needed it.
And now, it was one of the few “opportunities.” The altar she once used to control the fairies had no magic within the barrier, and fairies were not allowed to enter. In other words, Kephiel must be unarmed. As long as she , as the “master” of the altar, sets a precedent for Claudilus and channels magic, Claudilus would definitely be able to…
However, the excitement didn’t last long. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in across the daylight sky, quickly staining much of the horizon a deep, ominous black, and the golden thunder roaring within the clouds made Nilu acutely aware of the danger!
It was an unpleasant feeling, and soon after, she received a signal that Claudilus was injured! The situation was dire; she was clearly gravely wounded!
How could this happen!? Clearly, when she had come with the Grand Commander of the Meri United Kingdom, she had already used Jias to learn of her movements and had let Claudilus blend in, just waiting to catch that woman off guard! Just moments ago, Claudilus had indeed sent a signal; why… why had it failed now!?
This question was soon answered.
As the dark clouds began to dissipate, Claudilus, her clothes charred and wounds festering, stumbled through the door and collapsed inside.
“Master… I’m sorry…”
“Magnus, quickly.”
Nilu turned swiftly, and from a distance, a green fairy flew in, immediately extending her hands toward Claudilus to begin healing. Given the special circumstances, Nilu didn’t want to pursue the matter of them being in the “forbidden zone.”
As long as the essence of the fairies is not completely destroyed, they can slowly recover with treatment. However, the scars on Claudia’s body at this moment gave Nilu a very bad premonition!
“These wounds don’t look like they were inflicted by Kephiel. Who did this?”
“Master… they have returned…”
Claudia forced a grim smile, causing Nilu’s expression to gradually darken.
Mr. Oquilid’s inquiry about “fairies” was clearly aimed at finding Kephiel’s kin, and although the altar could no longer be used to “command” the fairies, it could still reveal the existence of some fairies. But if Mr. Oquilid was only aware of some ordinary fairies, that would be one thing. If…
If it was “that part of the fairies”…
“Who is it?”
“This time it’s Jousi… Oquilid… the king has awakened her…”
Nilu’s brows furrowed tightly, and her entire aura became dangerous! The shift in her emotions immediately attracted the attention of other fairies nearby, but since this was a forbidden area, they only dared to sneak a look from outside.
“Come in.”
The earlier excitement had vanished, and now Nilu’s eyes were filled with coldness, making the fairies who entered tread carefully and hesitate to speak.
She was not afraid of Kephiel, a useless person who only utilized the powers of others. Even if she obtained ten or a hundred ordinary fairies through Mr. Oquilid’s strength, she would not be nervous at all. But if that woman sought to obtain ” such fairies,” it was definitely not something she could brush off with a smile.
Because fairies like “Jousi” were an entirely different existence from other fairies.
The powerful Rodmar Empire should never have been destroyed, but in order to expand its territory, she had once made an absolutely wrong decision: to grant a few highly self-disciplined fairies blessings, allowing them to venture beyond the towns of the Rodmar Empire.
Their strong self-discipline meant they did not constantly need their master’s magic, but… this also brought disaster, causing these fairies to gradually become uncontrollable. In the end, the empire fell, and they faced the fate of being “exiled. “
“All of you, let the fairies here go to the city, follow and block everyone associated with the king, and find a way to prevent their departure! Claudia, you stay here for Magnus to restore you.”
Thankful that Mr. Oquilid had spared Claudia’s life, preventing her from immediately falling into the emotions of “revenge,” Nilu had no choice but to temporarily suppress her gratitude towards Mr. Oquilid, channeling it into irritation towards the burdens around him and that woman .
That useless woman only made Mr. Oquilid seek “treasures” for her, and this time she had put him in absolute danger! Because those fairies were indeed powerful “treasures,” yet they were also thorough traitors, dangerous elements among the fairies, completely uncontrollable! They served no purpose other than bringing danger to Mr. Oquilid!
And that woman was only acting for her own selfish interests…
Fortunately, this time it was “Jousi,” not one of the other more dangerous ones. They had to act before she awakened and her powers gradually returned, to “remove” her for Mr. Oquilid and the king of the Rodmar Empire, along with that woman who had repeatedly put the king in danger.
“Jias, come with me. Unless something unexpected happens, we need to prepare before eliminating the danger for the ‘king.'”
Nilu led all the fairies, who transformed back into their original forms within her body, donned their cloaks, and quickly walked out.
This was the “king’s” Rodmar Empire, and she absolutely would not let the “dangers” around the king escape—Kephiel, and… Jousi.
