Pirate Kingship

We never imagined that you would be Little Heather’s son, also a child of the Fairy Town School.

I would like to raise a glass on behalf of the school and the humans of the Eastern Continent to honor you."

He lifted his cup filled with milk, using milk in place of wine to thank Byron for his contributions to humanity.

"Thank you."

Byron accepted the recognition for his accomplishments without false modesty and raised his honey water to clink it remotely with him.

At the same time, he realized that he was not the only one collecting information about the Eastern Continent.

The various schools in the Corridor of Truth, acting as the last barrier for humans, were also constantly monitoring intelligence from the Old God Church and the Old Continent.

By reaching the Corridor of Truth, not only did he not need to start from scratch in his promotion order, but his fame had also already fully matured.

After glancing at the Sailing Logbook, he saw that the fame of his title [King of the Wild Hunt] had already exceeded 46 points, which was 16 points more than the well-known 30 points across the continent.

However, he had not received any new title abilities, so he had not paid much attention to this change.

The Silver Continent had been closed for fifteen hundred years, and until now, no one knew how many points fame needed to surpass 30 after breaking through a continental limit to cause a qualitative change.

It was only after being reminded by [Little Prince] that Byron realized that upon stepping onto the Eastern Continent, the "prayers of the faithful" had indeed suddenly increased.

Most likely, it triggered the rules of this continental-level secret realm: "Every word spoken will be known," yet he only noticed he had become a taboo to others soon after landing.

[Wolf Grandmother] Britney listened quietly for a long time.

In her heart, she felt envious for the umpteenth time of this "someone else’s child."

Thinking maybe she should find a suitable partner to end her 18-year and 480-month single life?

"In any fairy tale, a sixty-year-old woman sounds like she’s on her last legs, but a six-hundred-year-old is in her prime!

Mortals at sixty seem old, but gods at sixty seem young. Many ’devoted’ men, whether at 18, 28, or 88, prefer 18-year-old girls.

They don’t realize that women our age are the real quality stock!

A woman three years older is worth bricks of gold, thirty years older gives crowns...

Bah, I’m just newly 18! And I’ll forever be 18!"

Britney was earnestly thinking about her life’s major decision.

Her mentor [The Little Match Girl] Polyxia held Heather’s hand, asking the question everyone was interested in:

"Little Heather, how did you bring Britney back to life?

A year ago, Britney’s ritual had already determined a failed outcome, and this past year was merely an extension of her agony.

I couldn’t bear to see the tragic story, and lacking the capability to help her, I didn’t continuously stay by her side.

I only designated the area as a forbidden zone, planning to personally resolve the activated knowledge once the dark fairy tale was entirely born.

The surprise you’ve brought me today surpasses anything in the past hundred years."

Polyxia was indeed correct.

During the promotion ceremony, Britney sustained heavy injuries against the resurrected fairy tale, and the subsequent prolonged tug-of-war was predestined for failure, eventually reverse-devoured by the opponent.

Throughout history, there are far more school members experiencing similar fates or being devoured on the spot than those successfully overcoming them; "Achieve or perish" is also an unsaid iron rule across the school.

During this time, upper-level Wizards have indeed tried ways to help succeeding students lower the difficulty.

Yet, just as the Southern Continent’s Sun Deity System never managed to illuminate the Underworld Authority, they hadn’t found the solution.

It wasn’t until the advent of Heather that a miracle was created!

She didn’t hide anything, slightly showcased her authority [Princess and Girls’ Guardian] and [Divine Makeup·Moonlight Eyeshadow] to others.

And expressed her inference:

"I was able to help Britney mostly due to a series of coincidences.

If a story contains characters similar to ’Hunter,’ who can turn the tide at critical moments, and the victim is a princess or a girl.

I can use [Moonlight Eyeshadow] to invade the ’become a fairy tale’ ritual underway, replacing key roles to assist them."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted into cheers.

"That’s wonderful."

"Although the conditions are quite restrictive, can only safeguard girls and princesses, taking this crucial step from zero to one is quite commendable."

[The Little Match Girl], much smaller in stature than Heather, hugged her, bouncing with laughter.

[Moonlight Eyeshadow] is not merely a switch-costume battle ability; it is also a strategic-level capability potentially propelling the Fairy Town School into unprecedented elevations.

Originally simply relying on her son’s support, Heather inadvertently turned into the school’s major asset; the longer time passes, the greater her influence.

Of course, the Chief and Deputy are well aware that this ability’s emergence is sure to accompany a transfer of authority within the school.

Once school members become informed, they would surely gravitate toward Heather, merely seeking to receive her additional aid during their own ceremonies.

Most of the world’s power seeking arises from the words "discretionary power."

Yet entirely processing everything bureaucratically leads to the opposite extreme of dogmatism.

Fortunately, they simply don’t care about such occurrences, even hoping for Heather to shoulder their burdens; there is no impurity within their joy.
