nI have loved fairies since I was a little boy.

nI wanted to see them.

nThey were the size of my palm, had beautiful wings, and were mysterious and beautiful.

nThe fairies of such fairy tales do exist.

nAs 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.

nVery few people have actually met fairies.

nAt one time, some said they existed as a spectacle.

nSometimes, they traveled with adventurers.

nOther times, fairies were signboards for innkeepers.

nOccasionally, some would say that they saw a fairy flying in a flower garden.

nAnother time, they said that they saw a fairy flying in a town.

nSuch records have remained.

nIn the case of shows and adventures, various people saw the fairy.

nBut in another town and in a flower garden, there was a written record that only one person could see the fairy.

nThe information was mixed up in various ways.

nSome people could see fairies, and some could not.

nI even found a picture of a fairy who could be seen at the time that picture was taken.

nThe beauty of a fairy was different from others… Lovely. Mysterious.

nWhen I was going to the library to look up information on fairies, I met Ryan, a junior student at the academy.

nWhen 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.

nWe met many times at the library, and each time we discussed fairies, Ryan gradually became interested in fairies.

nThen I started researching fairies with Ryan.

nAfter 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.

nMy relationship with Ryan continued even after I graduated from the academy.

nHe was my best friend with whom I could talk about fairies.

nBut it didn’t last long.

nI had to return to my hometown.

nI 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.

nWhen I informed Ryan of the situation, he said he would come to my place after he graduated from the academy.

nSo I said, “I’ll ask my aide to welcome you.”

nRyan did as he said and came to my territory after he graduated from the academy.

nI was happy to see him again after a long time.

nAs promised, I asked Ryan to assist me, and we resumed our research on fairies.

nAfter a while, Ryan occasionally took a break and left town for a few days.

nWhen I asked him about it, he said, “I will tell you about it in some time. You need to wait a little longer.”

nAfter a while, he told me why he had been going out of town.

nHe mentioned that he had met with a fairy.

nI asked him why he didn’t tell me earlier.

nHe 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.

nThe source of this cntent is freewebnvel.coɱ.

nSuch things were written in books.

nBut 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.

nBut 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.

nNevertheless, Ryan told me that with his magic power, even I might be able to see them.

nThe contradiction with the story about the fairy show was resolved.

nI 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.

nHowever, 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.

nThen Ryan said he would go meet the fairy and promised to bring her to me if he could get her permission.

nHowever, he told me that he would respect the fairy’s feelings and if she refused, he would give up.

nI was reluctant to give up, but I had no choice but to let the fairy decide this matter.

nEven if I wanted to see the fairies, if they did not want me to see them, I would not be able to.

nI was looking forward to the day Ryan would bring the fairy to me.

nDuring that time, I was so busy with my work as a Lord that I couldn’t do anything.

nAnd then Ryan came back.

nBut the fairy was nowhere to be found.

n“Where’s the fairy?” (Bellung)

nI asked, and Ryan looked at the empty space.

nWas there a fairy there?

nI looked, but I was unable to see anything.

nRyan looked at the empty space, smiled, and said, “Ronne.”

nIt was then that the fairy appeared in front of me.

nShe was about the size of my palm and floating.

nHer beautiful wings were moving.

nIt was cute, beautiful, and mysterious.

nI had wanted to meet a fairy since I was a little child.

nShe was even more beautiful than in the pictures.

n“I am Ronne, nice to meet you.” (Ronne)

nThe fairy said her name.

nThen Ronne told me about fairies.

nI did already know that only compatible humans could see fairies.

nShe said she did not know about other fairies.

nWe were disappointed, but happy to have a fairy in front of us.

nThen, with Ronne’s permission, we started our research on fairies.

nI did need to use Ryan’s magic power to see Ronne with my own eyes.

nIf my research was successful, I could see not only Ronne, but many other fairies.

nI studied about fairies while doing my work as a Lord.

nWe learned many things.

nAs a byproduct of this research, we discovered that by using Ronne’s magic power, our physical bodies and magic power could be strengthened.

nAt the same time, as we were doing our research, I felt envious of Ryan.

nWhy Ryan?

nWhy not me?

nWhy didn’t the fairy show itself to me?

nMy emotions were going haywire.

nIt was as if, while amplifying my power, my emotions were also being amplified.

nJealousy, envy, and the desire to own Ronne started to increase.

nThe feelings became uncontrollable.

nWhen Ronne’s magic power was granted to the knights as a part of research, some became more aggressive and assertive.

n…Side effects.

nBut the research could not be stopped.

nI could not stop the desire to make Ronne my own and to meet other fairies.

nIt whispers to me to proceed with my desire.

nTime passed, but I could not find a way to eliminate the side effects.

nI 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.

nThen 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.

nWhen I refused in a letter, he came to the town with his knights in tow.

nI asked Ronne to disappear and explained to the noble that Ronne was not here, but he would not withdraw.

nI tried to settle things with a friendly discussion, but the negotiations broke down. He said he would take Ronne from me by force.

nThe side effect of the magic transfer had already made my emotional state uncontrollable.

nAnger, hatred, and a desire to kill swelled up against the man.

nI wouldn’t allow anyone to try to take Ronne away from me.

nThe knights surrounded Ryan and me at the man’s command.

nIt was then that I unleashed my amplified magic power.

nRyan and Ronne’s magic power entered my body.

nI moved with my emotions, and used magic to attack, as well as my sword.

nI wanted to stop myself, but I couldn’t.

nIt whispered to me to kill anyone who wanted to take Ronne away from me.

nRyan tried to stop me, but I could not control my emotions.

nI could no longer stop myself.

nI went wild following only my emotions.

nIn the end, Ryan barely managed to stop me.

nBlood was flowing from Ryan’s body.

nIt was as if he forcibly stopped the magic power that was flowing into me.

n“Bellung-san, are you okay?” (Ryan)

n“Yes.”(Bellung)

nIt felt as if it was all a dream, but I remembered what I had done.

nNow, I was surrounded by knights and a man lying on the ground, bleeding.

nMany people were dead or wounded.

nIt was my doing.

nIt was because of me losing control of my emotions.

nThe nobleman was still alive.

nHe told me that he would have died if Ryan did not stop me.

nThe man got down on his knees and apologized.

nAccording to Ryan, the way I looked at the nobleman was very scary.

nThe nobleman was terrified when he saw the knights protecting him getting killed one by one.

nI made him promise not to mess with us again and not to tell anyone about what had happened.

nI threatened him that if he broke his promise, he would become the same as the dead knights.

nBut someone might come again, to take Ronne away from me.

nI decided to create the strongest Order of Knights to protect Ronne and Ryan. freewebnovel.cσ๓

nI also decided to increase my magic power by siphoning magic power away from the residents of my town; this was also to protect Ronne.

nThat’s when my heart started to break, and even Ryan’s words stopped reaching me.

nIn a corner of my mind, I thought Ryan was right, but I could no longer suppress my urges.

nThat’s when Ryan said he would stop studying fairies and let Ronne go back to where she came from.

nHe, Ryan, wanted to take Ronne away from me as well.

nHe said he was doing it for my sake, but I was so angry that I didn’t listen to Ryan’s words.

nI locked Ryan in the basement and threatened Ronne.

nNo one could have Ronne.

nRonne was mine.
