As time passed, the sky of Britain, with no blue heavens and only the glow of dusk, gradually began to darken.
By then, Riezel had long since left Camelot and was hurrying toward Londinium.
In Britain, which was divided into southern and northern regions with Camelot at its center, Londinium could also be considered rather remote. Though it was located in the south, where most fairies lived, it was far from Camelot and practically right next to the port city of Norwich.
Southwest of Norwich, southeast of Oxford, in the southeastern corner of all Britain, lay Londinium—the capital of England in Pan-Human History.
As mentioned before, during the Fairy Calendar before the Queen's Calendar began, that place had been humanity's stronghold and the Round Table Army's headquarters. It was said to have been the largest city of that era. Not only had a great number of humans lived there, but fairies from five clans—excluding the already-destroyed Rain Clan—had lived there as well. Though it was a place full of ties and history, it was now nothing but ruins.
For that reason, Britain's fairies called Londinium the ruined capital. Most fairies even claimed that it was cursed.
Because of that, most of the fairies in nearby Oxford and Norwich regarded it as something venomous and refused to go anywhere near it.
Yet now, that ruined capital had become the only destination for the Round Table Army's humans, as well as one of the rare places in all Britain that openly existed under the banner of opposing the Queen's Army.
Whoosh!
After another burst of high-speed movement, Riezel finally arrived near Londinium before nightfall.
He had never been to Londinium, so he had first used a Gate to travel to Norwich, then raced southwest from there using high-speed movement.
"Is that Londinium?"
