Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube - Chapter 1630 - 1121: Are You Jealous? (2)
Perhaps, even if Reiger does not reveal the true history of Albion today, in time, Altoria would gain knowledge or memory and come to understand everything.
Therefore, Altoria may have already been vaguely aware of what her true mission is and how it should be accomplished.
With Reiger’s revelation today, Altoria now comprehends what she must do.
"Striking the six Pilgrimage Bells corresponding to the six fairy clans not only signifies the completion of the pilgrimage but also means the clans acknowledge their sins."
"And the Paradise Fairy who rings all six Bone Bells will inherit the mystery of the Holy Sword, thus qualifying to fulfill the mission that the six fairies failed to complete."
"The mission the six fairies failed to complete was to forge the Holy Sword, a divine weapon."
Altoria spoke with a tone of certainty in her conjecture.
"Once the six clans acknowledge their sins and the Holy Sword is forged, the premise upon which this Lostbelt was first established will cease to exist."
"History will thus rewind, and the world will return to its rightful form."
"By then, neither fairies nor Albion will exist anymore."
This is the true mission of the Paradise Fairy.
The so-called salvation of Albion and redemption for the fairies means returning the world to its intended form, obliterating this Island of Corpse and executing the repentant fairies.
That’s why Morgan is unwilling to fulfill this mission, because it would make the Albion she loves disappear.
And this mission has now fallen onto Altoria.
"What True King defeats False King and ascends the throne?"
Altoria spoke with intense irony.
"Even if I really manage to do it, I would only become the destroyer of this Albion, not the so-called King."
One can only say that the prophecy of the Clan of Mirrors has beautified the mission of the prophesied child too greatly.
If the fairies were to realize that the true mission of the prophesied child is to make Albion disappear and annihilate the fairies, they certainly wouldn’t welcome her as they did before, as a rebel who brings exhilarating tyranny, but would rather wish to torture Altoria to death, just as those who once tormented Morgan and Altoria.
It must be said, it is rather ironic.
"You knew things would turn out like this all along, right?" Altoria whispered: "That’s why you’ve always told me that neither fairies nor Albion are worth saving, isn’t it?"
"I’m not intentionally instilling such thoughts to make you feel better about knowing your true mission later." Reiger shook his head, denying: "I genuinely believe neither the fairies nor Albion is worth saving. You should see that I’m not lying."
Altoria fell silent for a great while, then spoke.
"So this is why you said those words in front of Bagster?"
Altoria referred to Reiger’s recent declaration to Bagster.
"I will stand by the prophesied child and the exotic magician, following the prophecy of the Clan of Mirrors, allowing the True King to defeat the False King and completely liberate Albion."
"I will end the missions of the two generations of Paradise Fairies, granting redemption to the fairies in this Fairy Country."
"The original sins of the fairies will be judged by Altoria and me, receiving the punishment they deserve."
Recalling those events, Altoria turned her head, looking at Reiger.
"Do you really wish for Albion to disappear? Do you really wish for the extinction of fairies?"
These words were somewhat harsh.
But Reiger did not conceal them.
"Yes."
Reiger admitted, with a detached expression.
"Why?"
Altoria gazed directly at Reiger, as if she could see through his heart.
No, not as if, she truly could see through Reiger’s heart.
With the Fairy Eyes that see through lies, even Reiger couldn’t lie before Altoria, and his true thoughts would be exposed.
Altoria truly wanted to know what Reiger’s genuine thoughts were.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a flick on Altoria’s forehead rang out sharply, catching her off guard and causing her to cry out in pain.
"Using those ’eyes’ to look at me again, you really don’t learn, do you?" Reiger withdrew his hand, speaking irritably: "Have I ever lied in front of you? Is this why you’re so defensive?"
"How, how would one know what’s going on in your head?" Altoria argued, holding her head and squatting down, tearfully protesting: "You always act recklessly and do as you please...!"
Reiger immediately looked at Altoria strangely.
"Could it be that you’re envious?"
Reiger’s words were sharp, piercing Altoria’s heart.
"Who’s envious?!"
Altoria was defenseless. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"You." Reiger said mercilessly: "You think I’ve always been doing what I want, reckless but free, so you’re envious."
After all, unlike Reiger, Altoria had been bound by things like "prophecy," "pilgrimage," and "mission" since birth...
"I..."
Altoria wanted to retort but couldn’t say a single word.
Reflecting on her life, how could Altoria not be aware?
Before she was sixteen, freedom was nonexistent, only persecution from her hometown’s neighbors.
After Tintagel’s fall, she embarked unknowingly and presumptuously on a so-called pilgrimage, feeling lost about the future.
She was completely uncertain about what she should do or was capable of doing.
The world in her eyes had always been a storm composed of malice, something that had never changed.
Had it not been for a "sun" suddenly entering her life, perhaps she would have accomplished nothing until now?
In such a malicious world, how could a newly sixteen-year-old girl know which path to take for the future?
She could only take one step at a time, follow the original life plan, and start the pilgrimage.
Only when Reiger disappeared in Norwich and couldn’t be found did Altoria resolve to complete the Pilgrimage Bell, but that was merely to gain strength, fulfill promises, find Reiger, or wait for him to return to her.
Now that Reiger returned, he laid bare the truth and ugly history of Britain in front of her.
Faced with this reality, what should she do?
Altoria Castle could only continue to be lost.
Until Reiger placed his hand on her head.
"If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to."
Reiger’s voice reached Altoria’s ears, unexpectedly gentle.
"Just like I told you before, missions are never things others can impose."
"If it doesn’t suit your eye, then like Morgan, discard it."
"Even after discarding that kind of thing, hasn’t she also lived well up till now?"
Hearing Reiger’s words, Altoria’s gaze became exceedingly complex.
"...And what about you?"
Altoria could only ask.
"Have you decided to destroy Britain?"
To this question, Reiger responded very straightforwardly.
"That’s right, I’ve decided." Reiger said calmly: "It’s not just to achieve one of my goals here, but to drag that foolish queen out of the prison that is her throne."
The foolish queen...
Altoria sort of understood, her gaze toward Reiger increasingly complex.
Reiger didn’t notice.
Because his gaze was discreetly directed toward a corner behind him.
There, an elusive presence had quietly vanished.
Reiger’s eyes flickered, whispering in his heart.
"You ought to be quite pleased with my decision, right?"
"Destroying Britain is your mission too."
"Let me see when you intend to emerge..."
