Chapter 710
Chapter 710
Bellung
I have loved fairies since I was a little boy.
I wanted to see them.
They were the size of my palm, had beautiful wings, and were mysterious and beautiful.
The fairies of such fairy tales do exist.
As the son of a town Lord, when I started going to the academy in the royal capital, I went to the library daily to look up fairies.
Very few people have actually met fairies.
At one time, some said they existed as a spectacle.
Sometimes, they traveled with adventurers.
Other times, fairies were signboards for innkeepers.
Occasionally, some would say that they saw a fairy flying in a flower garden.
Another time, they said that they saw a fairy flying in a town.
Such records have remained.
In the case of shows and adventures, various people saw the fairy.
But in another town and in a flower garden, there was a written record that only one person could see the fairy.
The information was mixed up in various ways.
Some people could see fairies, and some could not.
I even found a picture of a fairy who could be seen at the time that picture was taken.
The beauty of a fairy was different from others… Lovely. Mysterious.
When I was going to the library to look up information on fairies, I met Ryan, a junior student at the academy.
When I discussed fairies, other people made fun of me or looked at me like I was some weirdo, but Ryan seemed to enjoy listening to me.
We met many times at the library, and each time we discussed fairies, Ryan gradually became interested in fairies.
Then I started researching fairies with Ryan.
After graduating from the academy, I didn’t go home, but stayed in the royal capital to research fairies. Whenever I heard a rumor about fairies, I would go there and talk to anyone who claimed to have seen fairies.
My relationship with Ryan continued even after I graduated from the academy.
He was my best friend with whom I could talk about fairies.
But it didn’t last long.
I had to return to my hometown.
I received the news that my father had passed away. My mother had already passed away when I was very young, and I was the only heir. As the son of a Lord, I had to return to the town.
When I informed Ryan of the situation, he said he would come to my place after he graduated from the academy.
So I said, “I’ll ask my aide to welcome you.”
Ryan did as he said and came to my territory after he graduated from the academy.
I was happy to see him again after a long time.
As promised, I asked Ryan to assist me, and we resumed our research on fairies.
After a while, Ryan occasionally took a break and left town for a few days.
When I asked him about it, he said, “I will tell you about it in some time. You need to wait a little longer.”
After a while, he told me why he had been going out of town.
He mentioned that he had met with a fairy.
I asked him why he didn’t tell me earlier.
He said that fairies could only be seen if they were compatible with that person. He then added that because I couldn’t see the fairy, he couldn’t mention it because he thought it would depress me.

Such things were written in books.
But there were also stories about various people seeing them, such as the fairy on shows, the fairy following an adventurer, the fairy at the inn, and so on.
But there were many other stories about how only one person could see the fairy, and no one believed that person when he told others about it.
Nevertheless, Ryan told me that with his magic power, even I might be able to see them.
The contradiction with the story about the fairy show was resolved.
I had thought that the stories about [compatibility] and the [fairy being seen by everyone in shows] didn’t match and that one of them must be false.
However, if the magic of the partner, who could see the fairy, could be used by the fairy to make itself visible to others, then all stories could be right.
Then Ryan said he would go meet the fairy and promised to bring her to me if he could get her permission.
However, he told me that he would respect the fairy’s feelings and if she refused, he would give up.
I was reluctant to give up, but I had no choice but to let the fairy decide this matter.
Even if I wanted to see the fairies, if they did not want me to see them, I would not be able to.
I was looking forward to the day Ryan would bring the fairy to me.
During that time, I was so busy with my work as a Lord that I couldn’t do anything.
And then Ryan came back.
But the fairy was nowhere to be found.
“Where’s the fairy?” (Bellung)
I asked, and Ryan looked at the empty space.
Was there a fairy there?
I looked, but I was unable to see anything.
Ryan looked at the empty space, smiled, and said, “Ronne.”
It was then that the fairy appeared in front of me.
She was about the size of my palm and floating.
Her beautiful wings were moving.
It was cute, beautiful, and mysterious.
I had wanted to meet a fairy since I was a little child.
She was even more beautiful than in the pictures.
“I am Ronne, nice to meet you.” (Ronne)
The fairy said her name.
Then Ronne told me about fairies.
I did already know that only compatible humans could see fairies.
She said she did not know about other fairies.
We were disappointed, but happy to have a fairy in front of us.
Then, with Ronne’s permission, we started our research on fairies.
I did need to use Ryan’s magic power to see Ronne with my own eyes.
If my research was successful, I could see not only Ronne, but many other fairies.
I studied about fairies while doing my work as a Lord.
We learned many things.
As a byproduct of this research, we discovered that by using Ronne’s magic power, our physical bodies and magic power could be strengthened.
At the same time, as we were doing our research, I felt envious of Ryan.
Why Ryan?
Why not me?
Why didn’t the fairy show itself to me?
My emotions were going haywire.
It was as if, while amplifying my power, my emotions were also being amplified.
Jealousy, envy, and the desire to own Ronne started to increase.
The feelings became uncontrollable.
When Ronne’s magic power was granted to the knights as a part of research, some became more aggressive and assertive.
…Side effects.
But the research could not be stopped.
I could not stop the desire to make Ronne my own and to meet other fairies.
It whispers to me to proceed with my desire.
Time passed, but I could not find a way to eliminate the side effects.
I was so involved in studying fairies that I neglected my work as a Lord. I dismissed those who warned me and became a tyrant myself.
Then one day, a certain Noble, who had heard about fairies from somewhere, contacted me to give him the fairy. He even made fun of me because I was a young Lord.
When I refused in a letter, he came to the town with his knights in tow.
I asked Ronne to disappear and explained to the noble that Ronne was not here, but he would not withdraw.
I tried to settle things with a friendly discussion, but the negotiations broke down. He said he would take Ronne from me by force.
The side effect of the magic transfer had already made my emotional state uncontrollable.
Anger, hatred, and a desire to kill swelled up against the man.
I wouldn’t allow anyone to try to take Ronne away from me.
The knights surrounded Ryan and me at the man’s command.
It was then that I unleashed my amplified magic power.
Ryan and Ronne’s magic power entered my body.
I moved with my emotions, and used magic to attack, as well as my sword.
I wanted to stop myself, but I couldn’t.
It whispered to me to kill anyone who wanted to take Ronne away from me.
Ryan tried to stop me, but I could not control my emotions.
I could no longer stop myself.
I went wild following only my emotions.
In the end, Ryan barely managed to stop me.
Blood was flowing from Ryan’s body.
It was as if he forcibly stopped the magic power that was flowing into me.
“Bellung-san, are you okay?” (Ryan)
“Yes.”(Bellung)
It felt as if it was all a dream, but I remembered what I had done.
Now, I was surrounded by knights and a man lying on the ground, bleeding.
Many people were dead or wounded.
It was my doing.
It was because of me losing control of my emotions.
The nobleman was still alive.
He told me that he would have died if Ryan did not stop me.
The man got down on his knees and apologized.
According to Ryan, the way I looked at the nobleman was very scary.
The nobleman was terrified when he saw the knights protecting him getting killed one by one.
I made him promise not to mess with us again and not to tell anyone about what had happened.
I threatened him that if he broke his promise, he would become the same as the dead knights.
But someone might come again, to take Ronne away from me.
I decided to create the strongest Order of Knights to protect Ronne and Ryan. freewebnovel.cσ๓
I also decided to increase my magic power by siphoning magic power away from the residents of my town; this was also to protect Ronne.
That’s when my heart started to break, and even Ryan’s words stopped reaching me.
In a corner of my mind, I thought Ryan was right, but I could no longer suppress my urges.
That’s when Ryan said he would stop studying fairies and let Ronne go back to where she came from.
He, Ryan, wanted to take Ronne away from me as well.
He said he was doing it for my sake, but I was so angry that I didn’t listen to Ryan’s words.
I locked Ryan in the basement and threatened Ronne.
No one could have Ronne.
Ronne was mine.
