Chapter 7: Fairy Queen Morgan (2)
Born in the Inner Sea of the planet with as the highest ranked fairy by the name of Viviane, now known as Morgan, she had come a long way.
Due to a series of unbelievable events, she was made aware of the future her world was heading into. Back then, she decided to defy her fate and to forge her own destiny. In the end, she was only half-successful. Young Fairy was denied her hopes and dreams by the world many times, but after growing older, she made the world submit. At that point, she was only left with the thirst to rule and control and the yearning for the throne of Camelot, the Utopia no longer within reach. Only her "little sister", the new child of prophecy the world created to replace her after she "failed", was to claim it as her own. It and everything else Morgan worked for, sacrificed so much for, in the end, was destined to be taken away from her just like that.
By no means is Morgan weak, but even she struggles to keep herself together when fate loves to break her this much.
All those betrayals, unfulfilled dreams and desires, all that scarred her into the monster she has become.

Being summoned into panhuman history definitely wasn't a nice feeling for Morgan.
She could tell that she was in Brittain, the connection to her homeland was felt immediately, and it was passively making her stronger. This part was pleasant. Everything else was not.
The state of nature and density of magical energy were in a very bad condition. No fairies could be found, and humans roam everywhere. It must be a nightmare with constant huge crowds in the daytime. Overall, quick inspection revealed quite an unpleasant picture for Morgan.
Then she took a good look at the human that summoned her. She is a queen. She refuses to call anyone her master. Tall, with silver-ish white hair and ruby red eyes, dressed in dark gray "business costume" with an almost black coat on top and in black boots, despite being in strict formal attire, he had a contradictory wild charm.
It was at this point that Morgan realized that something was wrong with her summoner. He looked and felt like nothing. As if there was just a normal human before her, while she clearly could tell their connection, and on top of that surrounding them boundary field. Activating her Fairy Eyes (A+), she peered into his very being. And found nothing yet again. Everything about him was absolutely empty. It was strange, and it aroused her interest to know more about him. But as a queen, she has her pride and dignity, so the fastest option to unravel this mystery was to take control over the situation in her own hands.
"So you have summoned me. Caster, Morgan. The Queen on Fairy Brittain and the one who continuously curses panhuman history. If you have no issues with a condition, I will lend you my power. There's no changing the fact that I am a queen. As such, I expect you to work properly as my vassal. Or would you rather be treated as my husband instead?" Giving him basics of who she was, Morgan also established their relationship.
What was worth noting from her perspective was that her summoner didn't seem surprised by the revelation of her identity. It was as if he was expecting exactly her to appear or was either good at keeping stoic expression. Judging by his aplraising gaze prior, Morgan decided to assume the latter.
"And what does being your husband entail?" The curiosity was evident in his voice. There was no introduction, no answer to her question, just plain simple curiosity about the meaning behind her proposal. 'Humans' that was the thought that summed up Fairy Queen's dissatisfaction. She decided to indulge him this time nonetheless.
The more she explained, the more his expression changed. In the end, it went from the "what to do?" to the "This must be it.".
"Before I give you any kind of reply, check your status." Even if she was annoyed by his attitude, Morgan didn't show it on her face. She felt normal and didn't bother to examine her condition more closely before. She would have done it anyway, so she didn't object to following his suggestion.
The results shocked her. Even if she were to subtract homeland bonus, it would still be better than she had ever had. Especially strange was the fact that her Protection of the Lake got restored from C rank to the initial A. Ever since she refused to forge Excalibur in favor of creating another future and subsequently lost her position as the Child of Prophecy, her blessing began decreasing. For it now to get back at full power... The 'How?' was the main question among those that plagued her mind.
Looking back at her summoner, Morgan briefly wondered if he had anything to do with it. Then, she immediately shut down this possibility. There is no way for a human to have any connection to Avalon. As for the difference in stats? Maybe being recorded by the Throne of Heroes as a Fairy Great Mother made her latent potential blossom upon summoning. Maybe, on the off chance, the human is skillful in his magecraft, and on top of evading her senses, he managed to pull something off to enhance her.
In the ensuing silence, they looked at each other, both waiting for the other to speak. In the end, the human seemingly caved in and muttered: "Ok. Let's do it the hard way."
What happened next, Morgan would have never imagined. One moment, she could extend her senses for kilometers to no end. The next moment, space was cut off, and she couldn't perceive anything beyond the freshly formed barrier. Then he stopped concealing himself.
The moment his presence was released, Morgan realized that she unleashed a monster. Even Cernunnos, also known as King of Beasts, didn't exert such pressure. It was as if her very being wanted to submit to him right that moment.
When he revealed his status and his true name, almost all her questions were answered simultaneously. But then Monster of the Abyss started to apply pressure of his magical reserves. With each word, it got worse and worse until she completely collapsed at the end of the first sentence.
He didn't need her at all. Morgan was confident that he could win this Holy Grail War all by himself with little to no difficulty. She was there just to fill the quota.
Then she noticed how her body moved on its own without him using any Command Seals. Turned out she was lying on the ground even without him pressuring her with his mana. This sent her into another spiral of self-destructive thoughts.
Only the moment he retracted his aura and concealed his presence once again, she noticed how abnormal her behavior and thinking were. Once again, she was consumed by the vortex of complicated emotions and plans on how to proceed.
Morgan didn't even register when he came right before her and only reacted the moment she felt his grip on her shoulders. Then sky blue met ruby red. "Snapp out of it, Morgan. If you really want me to be your husband, then you must earn it. I don't let just anyone into my heart. Only when we are able to watch each other backs in all aspects I will consider your proposal for real. Now, however, you can call me however you want. Well, without anything outrageous, please."
'Right. With him by my side, I will be able to achieve anything I want. Earn it. That I can do.' A dangerous glint passed through her eyes, and determined expression appeared on her face.
And so, for the first time in a very long time, she started to scheme... Her goal? A complete mystery, the only one who could make her submit as he had shown earlier, and the man who could be the key to all her fantasies coming true. Hagime Shigo, the ruler of Tortus. Whatever and whenever that place might be. She wanted him badly.
