Chapter 35: Fairy Princess Idun

[Loki's POV]

While I and Arachne are just standing there as I pat her head, I thought of the things that will happen after this.

Firstly the poison in my body that was received because of my miscalculations earlier is incredibly potent that even my enchantment is slowly wearing off and I have to constantly cast some poison neutralizing enchantments in the parts that the poison is slowly spreading and I can also see some purple colored veins in my neck meaning that the poison is slowly gaining traction in my body and is ready to spread at any moment.

Good thing that Idun will finally wake up after this and she can pretty much shoo away the poison in my body without any problem.

Second, the compensations, this time, I added another condition and that is to borrow the fist fighter of the twelve star Libra and the magician and master servant Virgo to teach Vega about martial arts and also to teach Altair about magic respectively.

About Igraine, she will be personally thought by me so they do not have to worry about that.

After considering those things I looked at Arachne that clung all her spider legs that is in her back in mine, however this time she just used it to hug me as I stared at her breast being pressed into my chest and for the record, Arachne is buck naked right now. Imagining those things, I swallowed some saliva and smiled.

And there is also third, me and Arachne will have a good and long couple time together.

As I was thinking of those things, the Heavenly Stars of Idun started to rush towards me and everyone of them, I mean, everyone including Leon but excluding Aquarius because he/she is actually the river of this forest bowed their heads, though because they are way taller than me, they still look down on me with the exemption of Virgo, the Gemini twins and Libra.

I just brushed of their gratitude with a smile as I continue to caresse the long white hair of Arachne as I say.

"Don't worry about it, like I said, just treat it as a favor a friend is doing for a friend. Though as a business minded person, I have to collect compensations."

I made a Mysterious smile as all of them paled, even Leon who is usually prideful also have a very cautious look on his face and not looking like his indifferent attitude.

"C-COMPENSATION!?"

I immediately looked at them with deadpan eyes.

"No, no the compensation is not what are you thinking it is, stop looking at me as if I am a molester or something."

They all looked at each other and then looked once again at me with eyes still have a little hint of cautiousness.

"But you are."

They all said in unison, I opened my mouth to retort, but then, suddenly bright green colored light shoot out at the center of the forest, at this moment the aftershocks of the earthquake I made because of my powerful earth magic spell cannot already be felt is also the moment the green dazzling and blinding light appeared like a beacon peircing through the clouds and conquering the skies as it announced the second coming of the world's greatest enchantress.

All of us stopped what we are doing, even Arachne who is sleeping was waken up by the sheer brightness of the light that made the center of the forest become the center of attention of the fairies and other minor and unofficial races in the forest.

Those races are those races that doesn't have a representative in the seven rulers because of them lacking the ability to create bloodline magic in which is one of the requirements of being a ruler, though a person can bypass it by being exceptionally strong, it is obvious that people who can't even make one for themselves doesn't have any way to cultivate someone who can bypass that requirement.

That's why they are neglected and only the Forest of Idun accepted them, oh, now that I think about it, maybe them being accepted in this forest is Idun's preparations for making this forest an official country, population and manpower wise. This forest have a lot of assets and all of them can be the pillars of economy of the country that will be developed by Idun, first and foremost is the golden fruits of Idun that have a ton of medical benefits than their normal variation.

What she lack are people who will maintain them, though fairies are here, of course you will expect a lower birthrate from a race that have a high life expectancy right? So this people are like her pawns (atleast in a way) at her disposal to manage the said economic power.

All of us stared in awe and amazement on the green colored beacon, the twelve stars all have tears in their eyes though Virgo just have her usual calm demeanor but also visibly happy for she have her pink colored eyes a little wide and her lips in V shaped curve.

All of them was excited that their mother is finally free from her ill fate caused by her protecting and successfully defending her race from their natural predators, and even though Arachne have a very not so good Expression as she muttered.

"Interruption."

Of course we ignored that and stared continuously and admired the majesty of the light. As a side note, the center of the forest is where the palace of the Fairy Princess is located in which is a gigantic and living tree named the Yggdrasil Palace named after the tree that holds the nine realms in the Norse Mythology.

It was an enormous tree many times taller than the gigantic members of the twelve heavenly stars and is the living quarters of the Royal Family of the Fairy Race, the Marchenwald Family and right now the person who holds the title as the owner of this majestic and Gargantuan palace will finally come back from her seclusion worth of two hundred years.

At this moment, the moment the beacon that signalled the second coming of Idun was seen by the world, the Seven Rulers immediately knew it that I have succeeded in my objective in coming here, of course the spy sweeping is still not fully comprehensive at that time and only Vega and Ophiuchus are the one who can take up the task, that's why some random spy of those four are bound to know about this expedition of mine.

However, even people not in the Seven Rulers or people that didn't even know that we are real or just some kind of mythological gods and goddesses immediately and finally believed in us, after all, who can make such a bright and blinding beacon purely made of mana that can reach the whole world, right?

Every person in the planet was stunned, so they were real, those people who slaughtered armies by themselves actually exists, those thoughts lingered in their mind as they stared at the green line of light in the sky.

Seeing that their is really the Seven Rulers in the world, means that the War of the Rulers is also real and it was also real that it was finished and concluded without a proper winner because of the Hero after Arthur, Pandora.

At that moment, everyone of them shuddered as for they now knew that the peaceful facade of the world is about to crumble and another era of uncertainty is once again about to be shoved in the anals of this world's history.

However, even though the people of the world started to sweat cold drips in their body, all of us in this place is not people who cares about other people's affairs, we just looked at our selves and conduct accordingly, that's why, right now, all of us have excited and baffled expression on our faces as we will finally see someone we loved and admired, even me included, atleast to a certain degree, I mean the admired part.

She is the strongest and the most intellectual being in the whole fairy race, the one who was cursed instead of being rewarded because of her meritorious deeds, the one who contributed to the formula for the communication crystal of Valentine to work.

The daughter of Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, the one that was hailed as the greatest enchantress on the planet and the current Princess of Fairies.

The one and only Idu-

"HA! HA! HA! THE WHOLE WORLD SHALL REJOICE FOR I, THE FAIRY PRINCESS IS FINALLY BACK!"

Well... That is how I wanted to introduce my friend and its not like all of that was not true, however she have to destroy her image by making an ear peircing broadcast using enchantment magic to amplify her voice, making one feel annoyed because of her instead of being amazed by her achievements.

She is just really a master in ruining her prestige.

As the annoying voice was heard, a fairy with dragonfly like wings suddenly flew out of the tree that was still being engulfed by the light, some glitters of golden lights akin to that of fireflies making a very mystical veil of golden stardust was seen in the whole forest while Idun is continuing her "HA! HA! HA!" into the whole forest making people aware that their leader is finally free from her ill fate.

But isn't that a little lame? I mean, would you accept your citizens being reminded because of your laugh and saying into their head: "Oh, that annoying laugh, so Idun-sama is already back."

Wouldn't that be really stupid? However, Idun didn't stopped from making her irritating laugh resound into the whole forest. After a round of super fast speed travelling from all the four primary directions of the forest, she finally stopped laughing but still have sparkling eyes and a very broad and wide smile like that of a child seeing her favorite playmate in a sandbox.

Idun have a very small stature, about just five feet in height and that was already two feet higher than the three feet average of the whole fairy race. At first she have good confidence with her height, but then she studied and migrated temporarily in Valentine and saw all of the people are actually a lot taller than her, she became a person with height complex. One must know that Yggdrasil Palace is very enormous, and upon developing height complex, Idun made use of the enormous space of the inside of the tree to make oversized throne, sofas and many more to satisfy her frustrations.

As for the question of Idun's satisfaction, only Idun herself knows the detail.

Going back, she have green colored pupils that shines brightly because of her childish antiques of curiosity and shallow excitement. She have short hair in a pixie cut that is also green in color and have a simple dress that suitably balanced with her position as the Princess of the Fairies and as a Childish person at the same time, the dress have green color as the base and yellow one as the complimentary ones.

She went into me immediately upon seeing me making her subordinates that are all beside me anxious about their master's chastity, what the hell, do they think that I will touch a little brat (in mental age)?

Going back, Idun immediately went right, left, up, down, back, front flying in front of me again and again as she repeatedly asked.

"Hey! Hey Loki! Tell the truth! You missed me right? Right? Come on, be honest! No need to hide it!"

I looked at her, chasing her with my red colored eyes and I can assert it now with confidence, why did I not make a move and will never make a move to Idun?

Because she's annoying.

Some veins popped out of my forehead as I flicked her forehead making her make "GUAH!" Sound, she looked at me with teary and confused eyes as she held her forehead and is about to cry.

"You're still annoying after all this years huh? Well, of course I do missed you, you're my friend after all."

She looked shocked for a moment and for the first time in many hundred years, a genuine and happy smile that she wears to people close to her was seen. Seeing those, I confirmed that Idun is already back to normal, she can also go near Arachne without risking her life.

However, I seem to have forgotten something in which I suddenly remembered.

"Yeah, that's right, I will pass out okay? Please remove the poison of Arachne immediately and I have to talk to you about something afterwards, thank you."

I then went and turned off the enchantment spell as all the poison started to spread and within half an hour, my whole body is littered with purple veins and my whole body started to feel like its being burned, I spat a cough of blood and lost conciousness.

Just like that.

[3rd Person POV]

All the people present looked at Loki that was slumped to the ground with their eyes full of undescribable look. At that moment, they didn't knew that all of them are thinking the same thing.

"Can't he just pass out normally?"
