Fairies, it's a word associated with mythical creatures since ancient times.
Nobody knows if they exist or not and there's also no method to test it.
Being told that such an almost non-existent being was in front of him, shocked Lith completely.
He couldn't help but stare at her up and down repeatedly to double check if his mother's words were really true or not.
Looking at the tall and curvy pink-haired Bella in a battle outfit, Lith really had no idea if she was a fairy or not. She looked just like a normal human female warrior and there were no striking features a fairy would have.
Lilith and Lucy, watching Lith's shocked reaction, giggled. They knew he was in for a surprise and it came true.
Lilith ruffled Lith's hair after watching him be shocked for a good few minutes and said, "She is indeed a fairy, baby."
"Not just any fairy—"
"The last one, right?" Lith interrupted his mother and said.
Lilith shook her head. "Nope."
"What?"
Lilith chuckled and walked towards Bella before answering Lith.
She wrapped her arms around her and said with a proud expression, "she's not just the last remaining fairy, but…"
"...the Queen of fairies."
". . ." Lith was completely taken aback this time. He really had no idea what to say as it was too much of a surprise.
Not only was a mythical creature that many thought didn't exist in his castle, she was also supposedly a Royal Servant and on top of that was also a Queen of her own race!
"Are you… for real?" Lith couldn't help but ask.
Lilith chuckled. She tapped on Bella's shoulder and said, "Bella, show him."
"Yes— wait." Bella turned to look at Lilith. "Are you sure, Your Majesty? I can do 'that'?"
Lilith chuckled again. "Did I say you can't?"
Bella made an awkward smile. "Well… your words are my commands, Your Majesty. But this is my first meeting with His Highness. Won't His Highness be disgusted?"
Lilith patted Bella's shoulder. "You're thinking too much. Just go do your thing. He'll like it, don't worry."
Bella sighed. "If you say so."
Lith, overhearing everything, didn't understand a single thing and wondered what was up, only to have his confusions cleared up in the next instant when Bella turned around and held his face.
"I have to do this, Your Highness. Please forgive my impudence."
Just as Lith heard that, he felt a pair of soft lips on him.
Bella was kissing him!
But these things were none of his concerns as right in the next instant, in his vision, the throne room of the Royal Castle was gone and fireworks of colourful flowers appeared.
Once the fireworks stopped, Lith found himself standing in the middle of a forest, around which were lush green trees, colorful trees, a waterfall mixed together with a river, and various animals roaming around.
This scene totally seemed like something taken out of a fairytale.
"It isn't a fairytale, Your Highness. But the real fairyland."
"Huh?" Lith turned around in shock, wondering did someone just read his mind?
"Yes, I can read your mind, Your Highness." A soft voice rang in his ears and in the next second, a beautiful pink-haired woman having a simple white cloth draped over her curvy body descended down.
This woman, Bella, had butterfly-like wings. They were colorful but also translucent. Her hair flowed freely with the breeze and the cloth on her body only covered her privates.
Looking at her, any man would be mesmerized and lost in her beauty. However, Lith was immune to it as he already had many beautiful wives and also his mother.
His mother was the pinnacle of all and he believed that there was no one else more beautiful than her. Even if there was, Lith would still prefer Lilith because at the end of the day, she was his mother.
Lith, looking at Bella stand in front of him, asked, "what's going on?"
Bella, noticing the state the Prince was in, that is, in a serious one, completely unfazed by her appearance and the surroundings, felt amused.
'He's completely exceeded my expectations already…' Bella thought to herself.
She didn't know how old Lith was, but given any age of men, they were all bound to be captivated by Bella's beauty or the fairyland they were in.
How Lith was an exception to this, Bella didn't know. In any case, she was really impressed and internally happy knowing her Prince wasn't some small fry and was genuinely strong.
Putting aside all her tumultuous emotions, Bella answered, "You're in a fairyland, Your Highness."
Lith shook his head. "I am asking, how can you read my mind?"
"Oh, you're asking that." Bella said. "I can do that because we're in my conscious brain right now. What you're looking at are my memories and since you're in me, I can read all your thoughts."
"I see." Lith nodded. He took everything calmly and all confusions cleared up.
"So… is this how the fairyland looks?" Lith asked, changing the topic.
Bella nodded. "This is how it used to look. Until one day we got attacked and everything was destroyed."
"The fairies got attacked? By who?"
Fairies were supposedly peaceful creatures. It was worth wondering who could become enemies with such a merciful and kind race.
Bella put out a sad expression as she heard Lith's question. But soon, it changed into a serious one and walking through the beautiful forest, she answered,
"Long long ago…"
The fairies lived in a fairly secluded place, cut apart from the rest of the world. They liked the peace and quiet of nature and social interactions with other races wasn't something that interested them.
Thus, they were isolated from everyone and lived their lives in whatever way they wanted.
Like Angles, they were pure beings as well. So pure that all angels roamed naked and felt nothing about it.
Everyone was born naked. Clothes were secondary accessories and the fairies thus preferred the one close to nature.
Everything was going fine and they were living life their ways, until one day, a lone traveller stumbled upon their land.
He was lost in the beauty of this place but once he saw the fairies, he passed out from knowing how beautiful they all were.
The fairies were concerned about this person passing out and since this was the first one to ever see them, they decided to help him.
This one help that the fairies gave was the most fatal one of all as it eventually led to their own demise.
Many other races came to know of the existence of fairies due to this lone traveller and immediately went to conquer them and make them their slaves.
The fairies were thus under attack and although they weren't weak, they had been so peaceful for so long that they didn't know how to properly fight and eventually lost the war with the other races.
The fairies were wiped out and the Queen, aka Bella, had tried her best to save everyone, but failed at the end and was on her last straw.
She had seen with her very own eyes the genocide that took place and was also attacked many a times by the vile people.
Bella was pretty beaten up both mentally and emotionally by the end and since all doors were closed, the best option she felt was to run. Run for her dear life, that is.
She could come back here again once she was stronger and in her beaten up state, she somehow managed to sneak past everyone and distance herself from them.
Running around, one fine day, she met Lilith, who found potential within her and took Bella as her underling. This marked her as the first Royal Servant and slowly but surely, Bella formed a deep bond with Lilith.
Lith listened to everything quietly and didn't utter a single word.
Once Bella was done reciting the things that could make Lith believe that she was a fairy, Lith asked a few questions related to them. Once done with it, both got out of the state they were in and Lith saw the throne room again.
His mother still had her arms wrapped around Bella's shoulder and Lucy was still in the place she was previously in, having not moved even an inch.
This made Lith understand that not even a minute had passed in the real world.
Lilith, noticing Lith be back, asked, "so… do you still think Bella isn't a fairy?"
Lith shook his head. "I believe her."
Lilith chuckled. "Good. Because you know…"
Along with Bella, Lilith walked close to Lith and said softly in his ears, "...Bella is the last fairy. You should help her race have a few more."
"..."
