"The war continued for almost 20 years. During those times, the different races come apart and go different ways."
"But the second Fairy queen is not married and why it becomes a problem when you get married. I don't get it"
Mother smiles gently at me who frowns.
"Because I already become the heir to the throne and the second fairy queen already declared she will never look for a partner"
Now I can see the whole thing.
"They just aim for eternity."
Mother nodded.
"Vierra… you need to know this. A fairy queen could live as long as her source of power were sustainability well"
It's supposed to be inside my head but I just blurt it out.
"what do you mean mother? You can live as long as your source of power doesn't dry out?"
It's funny how I answer my own question with my mouth.
Mother chuckles when she sees my face. I must look like an idiot.
"Every Fairy Queen has their own source of life which is called essence. And this called 'essence of life' were also Fairy queens sources of power. Which is depending on their essence, it affected their strength."
I was confused. I think mother could see from my eyes who tried hard to understand because she was smiling and explaining to me gently.
"The first fairy queen essence of life was love. At that time, this land was peaceful. They love each other, kind to each other until one day. Humans and other races start to compete with each other and hate states appear in their heart. And she slowly lost her strength to control the nature and her younger sister rose as the fairy queen"
Again, she had this sorrow look on her face every time she talked about the first fairy queen. But it is only a moment and she returns back to her gentle and majestic smile continuing her story.
"The second fairy queen essence was aspirations. It's a unique one. But she herself was a strong queen. It's an era of the development of this land living thing lifestyle. While humans keep improving their facility to have a better life, the other races develop their knowledge in other things. The kingdom was so lively at that time"
There's a smile on her face. Its smile of satisfaction, adoration and also a proud face of talking about her family.
Mother somehow missed that time. She kept drinking her warm tea and took a moment to look at the sky before she continued.
For this time, I keep silent while my brain works hard digesting all this information.
"But the war happened. She used her last magic as the fairy queen to hide the kingdom from the eyes of the world so it will survive and not be eradicated from the war. After that she gave me the crown, and she was living her life as an ordinary human"
There's something that I really want to know.
"Mother … what is your essence?"
"My essence was faith. After the war, humans and the other races lost their faith in the fairy queen. But they still few still believe in fairy queen which make me still can make a kingdom vanished from flood"
How strong a fairy queen will be with her full power.
I will make sure to never be a troublesome daughter in the future.
I clenched my fist and swallowed.
