Chapter 899

It's understandable that Lord Woodwose might be unwilling to accept reality.

I've heard similar rumors too—"a girl who uses Magecraft," "Queen reborn," or "the daughter of His Majesty Morgan"...

Spriggan jumped aside.

Tristan kept firing his magic bow at him. "Don't dodge, die, Capless!"

Listen carefully, Mother only has one daughter, me.

That girl isn't His Majesty's daughter; she's just a country bumpkin.

The officials were in an uproar.

Now even Tristan was certain of the existence of the Child of Prophecy.

Ainsel's prophecies have never failed him, and if things continue to develop...

Incredibly, will Queen Morgan be defeated by the Child of Prophecy?

Spriggan said, "Gathered on the throne, representatives of the superior fairies, members of Camelot, now is not the time for our clans to be hostile to each other."

The ever-increasing number of Morrigan, the ominous signs of Norwich, Knocknarea in the north, and Lundinium in the south.

And that foreign human who repaid His Majesty's kindness with enmity, he too stood with the Child of Prophecy.

Why don't we unite now and address the Calamity Accumulation in Norwich first?

"Speaking of Norwich, by the way... the Theater Company that the Child of Prophecy is with is moving in that direction," Tristan suddenly said.

"How do you know this information?" Spriggan asked, frowning.

"Shirou will tell me everything," the Faerie Knight boasted smugly.

"So it is, the foreigners and the Child of Prophecy went to Norwich, where Calamity Accumulation."

That makes things even easier; let them kill each other with the calamity.

"The Queen announced her decision, "Muryan asked curiously.

"Is it alright to eliminate disaster by relying on outsiders?"

"While it's unlikely, if the Child of Prophecy party were to actually resolve Norwich's crisis, it would damage His Majesty Morgan's prestige, wouldn't it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Muryan?"

Tristan snorted and said with a smile, "Mother didn't use the power of the Child of Prophecy, but simply let her do it."

It doesn't matter if the Child of Prophecy continues to win people's hearts; the fairies' support is of no use whatsoever.

In any case, one day, the Child of Prophecy will be completely defeated by Mother...

At that time, Mother will also bestow Shirou upon me~

Morgan: "..."

That concludes today's audience.

As the clan chief and Camelot gradually dispersed, the Faerie Knight bid farewell to his mother and prepared to leave.

Tristan.

Morgan rose from his throne and called to the red-haired girl.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mother?"

Tristan was very happy because he hadn't spoken to his mother alone in a long time.

The girl ran excitedly to the Queen, looking at her expectantly.

Although losing to the Child of Prophecy is a bit embarrassing, I'm sure my mother will praise me this time, something she hasn't done in a long time!

Because I brought Camelot crucial firsthand intelligence!

My mother will definitely pat my hair! Hehehe~!

Tristan's eyes Gilgamesh like a puppy's.

If she were Fang Clan, her tail would probably be spinning at high speed like a helicopter propeller by now.

"... Tristan."

Morgan stared at the collar around his daughter's neck, secretly touching the ring on his left ring finger, and spoke coldly.

"Don't think you're the only one who's special."

"?"

After saying this, Queen Morgan turned and left with a flourish.

Whew... that feels much better.

Morgan had been holding back those words in his heart for a long time.

During the audience, I wanted to speak several times, but I ultimately held back.

Although it's not very proper to be so petty with my daughter, there's nothing I can do about it; it's a matter of principle.

Tristan... You're not the only one who holds a special place in Shirou's heart! Me too!

The collar Shirou gave me... what's so special about it! What's there to brag about!

I am not envious at all, not even a little bit!

Me too... I'm also a woman who received a ring from Shirou!

"..."

In the throne room, only bewildered and terrified Faerie Knight remained.

Why...?

What's going on?

Did I make my mother angry again?

Why ahhhhhhhh!

Tristan's shoulders trembled with unease and confusion.

What does the phrase "Don't think you're the only one who's special" mean...?

Wait... could it be... no way...?

Tristan's eyes widened: Artoria really is Mother's daughter!?!?

In terms of individual performance alone, fairies far surpass humans.

But even they have a fatal weakness: iron.

For fairies, iron is equivalent to deadly poison.

For a long time, Queen Morgan strictly controlled ironware within the Fae Kingdom, prohibiting the production of all iron weapons.

However, starting several hundred years ago, Spriggan, the clan chief of the Earth Clan, obtained a license to manufacture iron weapons under the pretext of increasing calamities.

Since then, Norwich has gradually developed into a city where the forging industry flourishes.

Iron weapons are now being supplied in large quantities to the Queen's army.

Norwich's first impression on Shirou and Artoria was, simply put, a vibrant city of artisans.

Among the fairy clans that existed in Britain, the Earth Clan could be considered, in some ways, the most socially-oriented clan.

However, despite their high social adaptability, their excessive craftsmanship prevents them from fully integrating into human society.

Imagine him as a stubborn old man with a special skill but unable to keep up with the times.

Ryougi Shiki once complained that Shirou would definitely become one of those annoying old men when he got old, but Shirou won't get old, so there's no need to worry.

Spriggan cleverly utilized the racial characteristics of the Earth Clan to continuously expand the forging industry and build Norwich into the wealthiest city in the Fae Kingdom.

Incidentally, Shirou's Limit Mage's Eye sensed the truth the moment he first saw him—

This guy is human, just like me.

Like Shirou, he is a human who drifted from the Pan-Human History.

Although her hair is blonde, judging from her facial features... she might be East Asian like me.

This explains why Spriggan was able to develop capitalism in the Fae Kingdom.

Cunning humans took advantage of the fairies' purity...

This is also a story that will take place in the Fae Kingdom of Britain.

"I see, "Shirou thought, adding that Spriggan was one of the people he needed to be most wary of.

Then, when Shirou and his group entered Norwich, Spriggan indeed began to try to contact them.

Shirou's response was to completely ignore it.

I don't have time to deal with him right now; I have other, more important things to do.

While setting up the Theater Company's camp and preparing for the performance, they also had to familiarize themselves with the terrain of Norwich and establish an emergency shelter.

Based on this, a refuge plan for the citizens was developed, and the operational plan was communicated to the group members and they were allowed to infiltrate the group.

Thus, in the days leading up to the disaster, Shirou spent his days in a flurry of activity.

One afternoon.

"The head of the Earth Clan has requested a meeting again..."

Coral handed the document to Shirou and began to speak.

She was originally Aurora's adjutant, possessing both experience and connections, and her appearance was well-known among the fairies.

So, apart from some clerical work for the Theater Company, Coral now serves as Shirou's secretary, in charge of diplomatic affairs.

"Well... just ignore it."

Shirou gave a casual reply while directing the earth and tooth fairies to their work.

"But the official reason given was being busy with performances, and the mere fact that the Theater Company leader had to meet with the clan chief was truly daunting..."

"Coral, just answer for me."

"You've already met with the chieftains of the Wind Clan and the Wing Clan, why are you giving this answer on purpose?"

Coral gave a helpless smile, "That's quite provocative. Do you dislike Spriggan? Or are you just bad at dealing with that man?"

Shirou frowned and said, "The accumulated calamity is almost at its limit..."

"Shirou! It looks like it's starting!"

Artoria ran over with Gareth.

What began is self-evident.

"The source of the calamity, as predicted, was at sea near the port. Mors landed at the port."

Shirou and Coral's expressions turned serious.

"Coral, according to the pre-arranged plan, distribute the Fang Clan to various regions and have them guide the residents to safety."

The guidance work was led by the Earth Clan, to which most of the residents belonged.

The Wind Clan, utilizing their superior communication abilities, assisted the evacuation forces in their coordination.

The pink-haired fairy nodded deeply to Shirou's instructions and then left the tent.

"Hope, you stay here and work with Harobaromia to oversee the overall situation."

It's proceeding basically according to the plan. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to judge, just contact me verbally.

"Yes! Leave it to me, Master!"

Hope smiled broadly.

It was this dazzling smile that captivated countless fairies in Britain and garnered her a huge fan base.

Shirou turned his gaze to Harobaromia, who was working on the documents with him, and nodded slightly in response.

"Gareth, you're in charge of defending this place, which is being used as a refuge. Go and bring some men over."
