Chapter 16: Volume 3 - CH 2

P. 47

Sitting himself down on the stone hand railing that lead to the garden with a glass of scotch in one paw, the fairy cat Nico was humming a tune to himself.

The music that was being performed by the orchestra could be heard from here clearly enough. And yet the noise of activity and gossip of the crowd was far away and it was quiet. Basking in the light of the crescent moon that hung in the night sky and sipping the good spirits and picking and tasting the caviar and smoked salmon, made Nico have a terrifically good mood.

To tell the truth, he preferred a whole freshly-caught fish after it was deep-fried more than fish roe or thinly cut fish slices, but he didn’t mind this either. 

The small fairies that had gathered from hearing the music were all dancing by the fountain and tree trunks. 

Even the Carlton house hobgoblin was there.

“Mister Nico, the earl’s ball sure is magnicicent.”

Fluttering her honey-golden wings in a hurry, Marygold hovered around in the air above Nico. 

“The ear himself is such a wonderful man. If he were to come to our majesty’s side, then our land would surely become even more prosperous.”

“Hey, hey, you still haven’t given up yet. It’s impossible to take the earl back with you.”

“If I had that ‘moon’ with me, then he was sure to have consented.”

“But, the man that your queen fell in love with isn’t him, you know. He’s just a man who inherited the family name and yet you all are all right with that?”

“Why, if they have the same name, then there isn’t much of a difference, is there?  Since human lives are so short, I have heard that they pass on down the line through their blood and name.”

But, he doesn’t even share the same blood. Even though he thought that, he kept quiet.

Long ago, the human that was the closest friend with fairies was Lord Blue Knight. As his descendants, the ones with the name of Blue Knight Earl must still be someone special amongst the fairies, so it was no wonder that their fairy queen was so clung on to getting him.

To tell the truth, Nico actually didn’t mind if this Marygold took away that criminal to the land of their fairy queen, so that Lydia would be released. 

At this rate, by her remaining as the fairy doctor of the earl family, there was going to be the possibility that Lydia was going to be involved in the unknown war that was behind Edgar. 

But, Lydia was somewhat pitying Edgar. She was deceived and used a number of times, and even when she was made to do what he wanted her to do, she ended up pitying him for having such a sad past. 

Be that as it may, that was Lydia’s personality, so it couldn’t be helped.

If Edgar were to put in a situation where he was nearly taken away to the fairyworld, and it that was not his wish, then she was sure to do something to help him. 

Because of the responsibility as a fairy doctor, she would do any reckless thing.

“Tut, then that means we’ll be living in London for a while.”

Just when he mumbled that, the small fairies in the garden suddenly began to murmur in nervous voices.

The fountain water burst up in exploding waves. The surface of the water that circled around the bronze statue of the mermaid rose up like a black mountain. 

In the next moment, the area around them was filled with a sinister touch of wind.

Marygold hid herself behind Nico’s tail and Nico rushed to jump into the bushes. 

What appeared from the splashing waters of the fountain was a magnificent ebony, black horse. 

“K-kelpie….”

Nico couldn’t help but gasp in surprise and then quickly covered his mouth with his paws. 

Lifting up his rear, the kelpie kicked away the fairies that hadn’t yet escaped with its hooves, and shook its saturated mane, making the water droplets making it shine and sparkle, then lifted up its head to look up at the building.

“It-it’s him, Mister Nico. He’s the one who stole our majesty’s ‘moon’.”

“What, really?”

“He had a human form then, but I won’t mistake those black pearl eyes.”

This is bad. Extremely bad.

What? Lydia let her mouth hang open but snapped back into reality when Nico tugged hard on her skirt from behind.

Oh, right. Marygold had said that he was the one who had stolen her ‘moon.’

She remembered that she mustn’t accept it at all costs as she slapped away his hold.

“Don’t be ridiculous. The moon is hanging above us this very moment.”

“Oh, just take a look. It’s the moon and it even changes its phases.”

On the palm of his hand that he opened, there was a ring that had a milky white stone attached onto it, but Lydia turned her eyes away.

“No thank you. It could never be the real thing.”

“Don’t say that and just accept it.”

“No!”

Kelpie tried to force it onto one of Lydia’s fingers.

“I told you I don’t want it!”

“Stop it, young man…..”

Kelpie started to struggle with Paul who stood to guard Lydia.

“I said don’t get me my way, you little,”

“Can’t you see she doesn’t want whatever it is.”

“Shut up! ….ah.”

Just as Kelpie uttered in surprise, he completely stopped.
