Satoru observed the woman before him cautiously.

At first, the woman seemed to be an elven beauty of some origin. With her unnatural hair and looks, she seemed like a fairy like creature to him. And after her little introduction, she turned out to be a Fairy Queen of Summer Court. He did not know what this Summer Cort was, but it sounded like a place of major authority.

While he was not interested to talk with her, considering fairies were the creatures of nature and purity. Not to mention any fairy with the title of Seelie Court. Even in YGGDRASIL, they were called as the purest of the bunch of fairies. He was sure that this Archfey would most likely attack him if he showed her his true identity.

His troubles had not ended yet.

From her brief explanation, he found that the name if this place was called Feywild, realm where fairies lived. A realm where Arcane Magic of any caster would be buffed above their class. And that was one of the exciting part of this place. The other part was:

The beauty of this place.

Extremely fresh air, smell of grass and flowers, vibrant colours of nature and other things that he wanted to observe for God knows how long. It was everything a man like him desired to visit. And the best thing was : he could see it.

Oh, just how much he felt bad for not stopping Herohero from logging off. If only they waited for the server shutdown...

He shook his head and came back to reality. Currently, he followed the archfey to her home. She wanted to speak with him and his fairy companions. She was curious about them.

"So, how did you summon the fairies?" Titania asked.

"Pardon? I did not understand you question." He replied.

Her steps stopped and turned around to meet him face to face.

"What I mean is that... as a Queen of Fairies, it is my authority to grant spells or rituals to others on how to summon the fairies. But, " She paused and pointed her finger on the still floating fairies around him. "You have two of them and I can't feel them being connected to my brethren. So the thing is : who are you?"

Satoru blinked in surprise. But then he realized his mistake and her point of view.

She was right to say that his fairies felt unfamiliar to her. Had this been his kingdom and if he were the King of Undeads and a trespasser would come and showed his own types of undeads, Satoru would go full suspicious over it.

How did they get these undeads? Where did they found them? Were they summoned or... ?

Suddenly, he started to feel pressure from her gaze. It was not just her psychic aura, but also her powers intensifying the area around him. Her voice was becoming stronger than before, like she was speaking from every corner of this world. From skies to ground, from woods to creatures, from hpwling winds to the rays of light. He could hear her from everywhere.

"Answer me. Answer me! Who are you?! Answer me!"

The situation was going to be dire from if he did not do anything. While he hated to show his spells to others, he could relieve her doubts at least. Being lost in an unknown world, with no sense of ideas and nobody to trust, Satoru was helpless. If he came across somebody who were heads and toes above him, then it would be hus demise. Something that he did not like to see in future.

"Alright, I will show you myself." With those words, he silently cast the spell. He was curious to see whether Titania had some [Spell Seer] job class skills or not. If she had, then his counter divination would blast her off. It would be enough to give him some time to prepare for his escape. If it waspossible at the first place.

"[Silent Magic : Bless of Titania]"

Another fairy emerged in front of him, with slight differences than the first two. She floated around him for few minutes.

Now that he thought about it : how come they were still here? Why did not they vanish just like they should? Was it because the plane of fairies turned them permanent or something? He could only guess.

However, after a quick look at her face the situation became a bit more interesting and relieving at the same time.

"You can create fairies out of pure magic?!"

"Umm, they are just summons from my magic. Eventually they will vanish just like others... probably."

He explained. Though his explanation did not ease her mind at all. She seemed fascinated by this revelation and hummed with a bright smile.

Literally, the flowers sprouted around her and the whole area around him became more vibrant than before.

"Uh, Miss Tirania?"

"Just call me Titania. Let's become friends okay? And sorry for being suspicious to you. I thought you experimented on my brethren and made your set of fairfolk. I am happy that it is not the case here. Your fairies feel pure magic to me. I wonder what type of magic you did, but it would be awesome. Can you please tell me more about it? Please! Please!"

Her 180 change of attitude caught him off guard. But that was obvious.

One would never know what kind of things a chaotic creature would do in the next moment. They were unpredictable and so was she, the Queen of Light.

Fairies, in general, were the creatures of magic. The magical aura suffused within them provided a separate identity to them. However, when a fairy got summoned, their true spirit would be tethered to the world where they were from. Hence, the summoned fairy was just a mere reflection of her true self.

But that logic was inapplicable here. For Titania, these three fairies were separate entities. They had magic within them and despite being under the servitude of this archmage, they were developing the concept of identity. Soon, they would act like the residents of this world.

A summoned fairy could not do that. And Titania was assured that the man, in front of her, was totally unaware of what was going to happen with his "summons".

While she wanted to congratulate him for his accomplishments, she remembered his previous words.

"Wait! You said that they will vanish... probably?"

Satoru nodded, "Exactly. That is how it supposed to work. Buy why are asking this again?"

He stared at her yet again changing faces. Most of his female co-workers had control over their emotions and rarely expressed themselves. Compared to them, Titania was not just unpredictable, but also super emotional. He could not tell what was going on her mind, but he did not need to when she did not wish to hide her thoughts at the first place.

"Suzuki Satoru! You are coming with me as well as your fairies."

"Hmm, why?"

She smiled, "It is simple. I want you to be the citizen of my realm and produce these fairies. In return, you will be under my protection."

She stated the matter of fact calmly. But Satoru shook his head and refused her offer.

"While I am interested in your offer, I don't think you will like what I am."

"Then, just show me what you are and I will see what I can do."

"It us easy to say. But let's say I am a monster who is hated by others for being a monster. Will you still go out of your way to make me your friend? Or even you colleague.?"

"Yeah."

Her reply was so out of the world, that Satoru was sure that this woman made most decisions froms her heart than head.

"You are not understanding me. I am an undead and everyone , even you, would like to smite me right now, don't you?!"

"Wait wha–?!"

"And while it warms my heart that you are open to talk, you will not mind changing your previous decisions for the sake of your own welfare. I have seen people like you who are pompous and had no care of what others think. And though it sounds optimistic at first, the world does not run on optimism. You are just like them! A selfish Queen! You will just play with those around you for your own sake! You will never understand others' feelings because this is how lot act. I hate you for your lack of appreciation of others' well-being. And I will never bow my head again to you and your selfish thoughts."

There was moment of silence between them as nobody spoke anything for few minutes. The two of them did not move from their place nor they attacked each other. Until Titania decided to confirm his words.

"So, you are an undead?"

"Yes."

"Wow. I... never thought of saying this but, thanks. Nobody said these words to me. I was– was ..." She trembled as tears fell from her graceful eyes. She dud not stop them. She let it all go.

Satoru did not know what to do with a crying woman. Especially a crying fairy woman. It could one of those tear jerking skills that Peroroncino had told him.

If a woman who had no connection with, started to cry then prepare yourself. It might be a trap to lure you. And while Satoru had become a heartless monster, he would go out of his to stop a crying woman had she belonged to her guild or being related with him.

"S-Sorry. I just lost someone close to me due to my own carelessness. I just want her back in my life, but I can't do it. She is not going to hear me anymore. If only I got that cursed item instead of her." She composed herself and narrated for why she became like this.

According to her, when she and her sister ruled the Eladrins, her sister found an evil artifact. That day, Titania went out for swimming and her sister was all alone. After that incident, the fairies were divided into two groups. One supported her and others went with her sister. Though she wanted to solve this issue through clear mind. Without the support of her eladrin friends, it would be impossible to fair against the Unseelie Court of her sister.

Titania had no choice, but to take the hands of Corellen— the Celestial Lord of Eladrins. As he ruled over the very idea of freedom and emotions, Titania made it her goal to bring him on her side. So far, it did not bear any fruit. Corellen was aware about her predicament, but as she acted on her selfish desires Corellen ignored her. Her beliefs on freedom were just for show and she might even abandon her worship had he helped her.

To prove herself, she embraced her emotions as much as she could. But it was not going anywhere.

"I see. Please forgive me for my rudeness." He bowed his head in apology and continued, "You are very strong to control yourself for this long. I can understamd why do you want my fairies. But I cannot do that. On the other hand, I may have some idea of what happened with your sister. And I am interested in this "evil artifact" you said. How about this? You give me a place in you land, and in return, I will help your sister."

"You can do that?!"

"Not really. I am not sure whom I am against and what are my odds of winning. I am just interested in that artifact, that's all. Tell me who am I fighting against and we have a deal."

Titania nodded at his words and she must sat that he had some truth.

"Okay. I can provide as much as information you want. But in return, you must be honest with me from afterwards. Except your private matters. I know what I am asking for. Deal?"

"Deal."

Titania sighed in relief and out of curiosity, she asked something from him.

"Since we are going to be honest with each other. Can you show me your face now?"

"Uh, fine. But it is not anything special. I am just a skeleton after all. There is nothing to see here."

He told her, but after being nudged by her time to time, he unmasked his face.

"..."

"So?"

"For a skeleton, your skull is demonic!"


Here is another chapter.

Fun Fact : Feywild is basically a World Class ability type world. Even undeads becomes emotional in thus world. The time when Satoru fell for the beauty of Feywild, it started to rub on him. Albeit slowly.
