20 Fairies Return

When I saw Naesala panicking and her hands covered in blood, I got off my elk and walked towards her as she rushed towards me and started touching all over my body with her bloody hands.

After touching my entire body and seeing that I was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief and hugged me.

"Thank the goddess, you are alright, Malgath," she said, hugging me tighter.

I patted her on the back to reassure her and signal her to let go of me. After she let go, she backed away a little and opened her mouth to say something to me, but then she noticed Sylianner sitting on my shoulder.

She tilted her head and looked at Sylianner suspiciously at first, then frowned.

"What or who is that sitting on your shoulder, Prince Malgath?" She asked me, confused.

"Clean my body and her hand of blood, Sylianner," I said to Sylianner as she touched my face and vaporized all the blood on me, but she ignored Naesala.

"She is Sylianner, a fairy, the first of her kin and their queen," I said to Naesala as Sylianner stood up and puffed her chest proudly.

"How do you know that she is a fairy, let alone their queen, Prince Malgath?" Naesala looked at me, confused.

"Library and she introduced herself as the fairy queen." I answered her.

"She could just be a sorceress trying to deceive you, but I don't feel her actively using magic. Hmmm..."

She kept her eyes on Sylianner for a long moment as she cleaned her hands of blood with a rag she took from her belt. Suddenly, she dropped the rag, and her eyes widened as she pointed her finger at Sylianner.

"You really are a fairy. I saw your illustration in the library, but how can that be? We were told that they left the realm after the fall of the elven guardian and never returned."

"Look at this brute pointing her finger at me, queen of the fairies, and do not mention him with your filthy mouth, muscle elf," Sylianner said with anger in her voice, waving her hand and covering her mouth with magic.

"Sylianner," I called her name.

"Hmph," Sylianner said, but before she could remove the magic covering Naesala's mouth, Naesala tore the magic apart with her bare hands.

"Fairy queen," Naesala said as her body tensed and she narrowed her eyes toward Sylianner.

"Interesting," Sylianner said with a slight smile as her hand was covered in purple flames.

"Ignore her for the time being, Naesala. Let us return, we have wasted enough time here."

I said to Naesala, bringing her attention to me to end their fight, since from the time I spend with her, I get to know that Naesala is a woman who takes pride in her strength.

With Sylianner challenging her like that, she would attack her. It wouldn't matter if Sylianner is the Fairy Queen or if she is stronger than her.

"Is that the famous cannibal? He really deserves his reputation. Look at his size. He is the size of an infant dragon. And his eyes are the same as yours. To think you can tame such a beast, Prince Malgath. You are truly perfect... You really are perfect, my husband."

Naesala said with amazement in her voice and whispered the last part to herself. Then she slowly tried to pet the elk's back, but the elk simply brushed her hand away, not allowing anyone other than me to touch him.

"Hehehehehehe." I shook my head as Sylianner laughed.

"Hmmm... I feel a strange kinship with the beast. It made it easier for us to connect to one another." Looking into the red eyes of the beast, I felt a strange connection between us. It wasn't a spiritual one; it was something different.

"Eeeeeeekk"I grabbed Naesala by her wrist as she let out a cute squeal that you would never expect from a woman of her size and looks, and placed her on the back of my elk.

But the moment she sat on the beast's back, it started to huff and tried to violently move around to throw her from its back, showing its dissatisfaction at having someone other than me riding it.

"Calm down, boy. It is only this time, and until we arrive at the herd," I said to my elk as I patted its side with strength to stop him, which calmed him down a little. Then I got on its back.

Naesala wrapped her hand around my waist and pressed her entire body against my back, her breasts resting on my shoulder as she rested her chin on the top of my head and hummed to herself in satisfaction.

"Look at that vulgar woman, Elvy. She's trying to court you. Show her who's superior, breed her now!" Sylianner said, pulling my hair as she pointed at the now heavily blushing Naesala.

"Enough of this, Sylianner. Leave her be," I said to Sylianner, patting Naesala's hand on my wrist.

"Tell me, Naesala, why was your hand covered in blood? Did our enemies attack us while I was away?"

"After you passed the marked tree despite my warning, Prince Malgath, I rushed after you. But before I could pass the marked area, I bumped into a barrier. Fearing that it was a trap by our enemies to ambush you, I attacked the barrier. Unfortunately, I couldn't break through the barrier no matter how many times I hit it."

Naesala said, hugging me tighter and feeling ashamed. As the general and older one here, it was her responsibility to look after me, but she had failed.

After hearing her words, I turned my head toward my shoulder and looked at Sylianner. She is the only one in the elven kingdom capable of creating a barrier strong enough to hold Naesala back.

"Humph, it's not my fault she's weak."

When she heard Sylianner call her weak, Naesala became angry. Her muscles tensed, and her body got warmer as she loosened her hold on me.

When I realized that this time mere words would not stop Naesala, I turned my head towards her and grabbed her face. Then I kissed her lips and shoved my tongue into her mouth.

Naesala's eyes widened, her body stiffened, and her body got warmer than before. But after a moment, she closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

As our tongues intertwined, I realized that calming someone down by kissing had become a habit thanks to mother and my sister's, since I always kiss them.

I continued kissing her until I heard the elk herd. Then I let go of her, leaving a trail of saliva between us, and petting my elk's neck, I directed him towards Naesala's elk, who was in the herd.

"Hey Elvy, do the tongue thing on me next time, okay?" Sylianner said as she kicked me in the cheek.

"I will not be giving you a tongue bath, Sylianner. It is unhealthy."

"Wha, no, I meant to tongue kiss me too...buuuuuut a tongue bath from you doesn't sound bad...it really doesn't hehehehehehe."Sylianner said with a mischievous grin on her face.

After I arrived in front of Naesala's elk, I turned my head to Naesala. When she saw me looking at her, she let go of my waist and covered her face with her hand, blushing heavily.

"You've already had my first kiss, Prince Malgath. It's too soon for another kiss, I'm not ready yet," she said shyly.

"Your elk awaits you, Naesala," I said to her as she froze in her place and looked lost for some reason. Before she got off from my elk, she walked up to hers.

"Pfffft hahahahaha."

Amidst Sylianner's laughter, we rode to the city.

[half an hour later]

When we arrived in the city, it looked somewhat livelier than usual. As we approached the castle, I looked at the elves around me talking to fairies, while elven children played with young fairies.

All the elves looked truly happy. Some of them even started decorating their houses to celebrate the return of the fairies.

"Prince Malgath, look! The fairies have returned."

"Prince Malgath, come and celebrate the return of the fairies with us."

As I made my way to the castle, some of the elves kindly invited me to celebrate with them, but I just smiled at them and declined their offer.

"Whoa, that's a huge elk."

"He's so big."

"By the goddess, is that even an elk?"

When some of the elves saw my elk, they started whispering among themselves.

When we arrived at the castle gates, the stable master saw that Naesala and I were riding an elk. He came running towards us.

"My prince, congratulations on having tamed such a magnificent animal."

"Thank you. Do not give him grass or fruit, but feed him the meat of a freshly hunted animal."

"It would not be healthy to feed meat to an elk, my prince, unless... Cannibal, you have tamed the cannibal, my prince!"

He said with wide eyes and surprise on his face. But I just waved my hand and patted my elk's neck.

"I will come to your tower tomorrow to get enchanted training, as I believe I need more training with them. Then we can continue where we left off earlier, Naesala."

I said to her, patting her big and firm muscular thighs that also felt good to touch. Then, I entered the castle and made my way to my room to put on my robes.

After I entered the room, Mother welcomed me by embracing me and kissing me passionately.
