Leilena: The Wood Fairy Queen

LEILENA'S (WOOD FAIRY QUEEN) POV:-

I was kidnapped by the devils on my way to Eslaine.

While being detained in the cell, I heard the voice of The Pixie Queen.

It was a soothing and calm voice.

'Looks like the devils captured both of us.' I thought

Soon, a Supreme Devil who has the same name as The Pixie Queen, Aria, visited us.

She then started talking with her as if she were her friend and soon told her about the prophecy she had seen.

'What?!? A saviour of the devil?'

I was shocked to hear that something like this is supposed to happen but when I heard about the last part: of giving a blessing to a human. I ignored her thinking it must be nonsense.

'No one can defy the natural law and order,' is the unwritten rule of nature.

An anomaly that defies nature cannot exist.

As the Wood Fairy Queen, I can sense mana within the wood and interact with it. I can see through the woods, there hasn't been once in my lifetime I have heard about someone receiving a blessing from a person of a different race.

Things were the same for us for a while,

Soon...Aria(Devil) brought a child with him...no there were 3 people including him and about 30 devils following them.

'Who is he?' I was curious to know about our sudden guest.

"Aria, please give him your blessing." She said pointing at the child.

'Huh? Wasn't the saviour supposed to be a strong handsome young guy? Hey, are you sure, it's him? Did you mistook him for the person behind him?' I wanted to scream but didn't.

Honestly, I was shocked. He is supposed to be the saviour of her prophecy? When I tried assessing him more properly...I was even more disappointed.

He didn't have any mana...no he had a very pathetic amount of mana. Even among humans, his mana was too low.

He could surely win the weakest human award if there were any.

So...' why?' I could not understand.

'A special quirk of the devils to do idiotic things...hehe..doesn't make sense ' I laughed wryly at my own thought.

Soon, an argument broke out when Aria(Pixie queen) rejected to give the blessing.

'Yeah reject it, he isn't handsome at all,'

then after that Aria explained that no matter what blessing she would be giving to him, he can't use it with his little mana. Even though mana used by blessings is from nature, some percent of mana is still required from the user's body.

If he doesn't even have that much amount of mana, how could he use any blessing?

'Even fate doesn't want that, huh.' A dry smile came on my face.

But then...

"If I really have to get a blessing from you, then give me the blessing of Mana Eyes," he said.

Ah! There is that blessing, that does not take the user's mana at all.

'Huh, he seems knowledgeable, he knows his stuff.'

I don't believe it will work...But still, I want to see if...if...it does work maybe things will get peaceful in this world.

As a caretaker of nature I don't want anything more than what is best for the environment and stopping wars between devils and other races will be kn favour of that.

Then he moves towards the Pixie Queen.

I bring my senses to the maximum, I don't want to miss this.

She chants the blessing, and soon a miracle occurs.

'Ah' I am astonished...even though I wanted it to happen, I didn't think it would really happen...

A 'not so handsome' human got a blessing from a Pixie.

Every devil then bent on one knee and bowed in front of him.

They had a look of reverence in their eyes.

Something that shouldn't be possible.. has happened.

But...

But these things aren't important right now.

What's important is...

"Hey! Hey! Why are you all leaving without saving me?!?!" I shout watching them leave?

Yes, after everything that took place, my existence is ignored.

'Did they not see me?'

'Did he come only to save the Pixie Queen?' I mutter in a frustrated voice.

'I am also a Queen you know, at least give me some face, will you?'

"Hmm? You were sitting there so comfortably, so I thought you didn't want to be disturbed." He speaks 'innocently'

My forehead twitchs.

'This bastard...I must remain calm, I can't let my emotions get over my head.'

"No...I...*cough-cough*...I want you to take me out of here." I say in an almost Queen like manner.

'Now, that you have seen this beautiful lady, you must save her. It will be an honour for you for generations.'

"Hmm? Why must we do that?" He asks scratching his head making a confused expression?

'Huh?'

'What..?'

"Because...because...I...am the...Wood Fairy Queen..." My voice trailed off, based on their previous conversations, I don't think he will save me for free...what should I do? I look at Aria(Pixie Queen) and signal her for help but she simply made a helpless face.

Then he walked closer to my cell and said,

"Let me get directly to the point, your highness," he then bent and leaned closer to my face," What can you give me in exchange for saving you?" He said with a sly smile on his face.

It is irritating but...

I thought before answering," Gold...I can give you gold."

"How much?" He asks.

"Ummm..100?" I say thinking if it is enough, but he starts walking back.

"200!!" He still doesn't stop.

I grit my teeth and shout again

"500!" As soon as I speak those words, he comes right in front of me within a blink and says, "pleasure doing business with you," with a smile and the cell door falls down.

"Huh?" I am shocked.

What just happened? How? I couldn't see anything? Doesn't he lack mana? Then how?...looking around I see the devils and Pixie Queen as similarly in shock and Aria's (Devil) eyes glistening in astonishment.

"Just...who...no what are you?" That's the only thing I could ask him.

He smiles before moving towards the exit and I follow him absent-mindedly, still thinking about what had happened a moment ago.

.

When we reach outside a few devils start attacking us but then stop as soon as they see Aria(Devil) walking with us.

Then Aria starts explaining about her prophecy to them, and soon there is reverence in their eyes too.

All of them stood on one of their knees and pledged their loyalty to that child...no monster...yeah there is no better term other than that for him.

After that, that monster starts moving towards me with the old man and Pixie Queen.

"Well, If I am not wrong, by the time we reach Eslaine a lot might have already happened there. So we will need to move asap if you guys want to save your companions. I also have my companions there. I just need to discuss with Aria(Devil) about our and her next move, then we will leave, okay." He briefs us.

Well, it's not like I didn't already know, but it still isn't pleasant news to be heard.

I nod at him and so did Queen Aria and we start preparing to leave this place as soon as we get healed.

'In my entire life, I didn't think I would be getting healed by devils in this way. Clearly, the world is still full of surprises.'

After looking at our current situation,

'Maybe if it is him, it might be possible for devils and others to live with each other, given his antics, who knows, maybe he might even solve the problem of the devil energy.' I ponder over it.

ARIA'S (DEVIL) POV:-

I am standing with him at a distance away from our saviour and his companions

"So, what are you doing here?" I ask him...

he uses the name Leraye these days so let's just call him that.

"Nothing, in particular, just roaming around, trying to have some fun." He speaks calmly.

"Why are you with the saviour? I find it hard to believe it is but a mere coincidence." I speak what is on my mind. Somehow, at the right moment, at the right time, he is present here. Only a fool would believe that.

"Believe it or not, it is but a coincidence, I just happened to join him with his quest and all. Soon I will join his party too, you know. I have been personally invited." He says with a smirk on his face.

'This bastard.' Before I can speak anything,

"You know I've been thinking...you know who I am, right?...so..." His demeanour changed from a normal kid, "why are you talking to me as if you are my equal?" to someone filled with pride.

Since he was talking casually I thought it would be fine to talk in an informal tone with him.

Maybe I got too relaxed with him.

Whatever the reason be...I think I made a grave mistake right now.

"I'm sorry," I immediately bowed to him and changed my attitude towards him.

"You should be...I would love to kill you right now but it looks like Morpheus still needs you, and if it is about him, I think I can let you go for once...cause you know...I believe it is really going to be interesting adventuring with him...don't you think so too." He changed his attitude again to a child.

Sweat trickled down my forehead.

I gulped before saying,

" Yes, Lord Lucifer, you are correct."

I spoke.

"Hushh now, we don't want people to know about my identity." He speaks like a child but his aura is menacing.

Then...

"So you are The Sin Devil of Pride, Lucifer, huh?" Someone speaks behind me.
