Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 153 The Magician King and the Fan Princess

Chapter 154 The King and Princess Who Loved Magicians (Please Subscribe!)

The two people in front of him were naturally the king and princess. Although Moen didn't pay attention to the royal family, there was no one else who could be here.

There was a strong and burly guard in the study, standing at the lower end of the room, looking at Moen with a wary gaze. He didn't seem to be hostile, just wary of a stranger.

This is normal, as they serve as guards for the king and princess.

"."

Looking at the man sitting in the chair behind the desk, Moen had a strange expression. The king had white hair, a white beard, and white eyebrows. He had many wrinkles on his face, but he was not particularly old. He looked to be at most in his forties or fifties.

Moen initially mistook him for a man in his seventies or eighties because the guy was rather short.

With that height, he could easily rival Grandpa Makarov.

This king was not even as tall as the cute little girl beside him.

The little princess next to her is adorable, with striking emerald green hair that she likely inherited from her mother.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Moen Dole!"

Looking at Moen, the king spoke, his face full of admiration and excitement. He had always held these powerful mages in high esteem and was very interested in them.

As the king spoke, the little girl beside him looked at Moen with eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

"It's just an empty reputation."

Moen smiled. One doesn't hit a smiling face. Since the other party gave him face, he would naturally give face to the King of the Kingdom of Fiore as well.

"This isn't just empty fame. President Joseph is one of the Ten Wizard Saints. You were able to defeat him twice; how could that be fake?"

The king shook his head. He was very interested in the matter of mages and knew everything about what had happened to Moen. He had obviously learned about it beforehand and naturally did not believe Moen's modesty.

"I have the greatest admiration for powerful mages, Mr. Moen. No need to be modest; you deserve all this praise!"

Looking at Moen, the king spoke seriously.

This king doesn't seem to have any airs at all.

"So, the reason you specifically asked me to come here is?"

Moen's expression was strange. What did he mean? Could it be because he was chasing after a celebrity?

This old king was so excited, he looked like a fanboy.

"Sorry, I got a little excited. Let me introduce myself. I am Thomas E. Fiore, this is my daughter Emerald, and this is Arcadios, the captain of the Sakura Holy Knights."

King Thomas realized he had lost his composure, so he composed himself and introduced the people present to Moen.

The King of Fiore treated Moen as an equal, showing him no arrogance despite his royal status, and demonstrating the utmost respect.

"We invited you here today to thank you for resolving the trouble in Savalu. If these local nobles don't cooperate with the kingdom's policies, we don't have many options. You've really helped us a lot by taking care of him."

King Thomas looked elated and thanked Moen sincerely. The downfall of Duke Savalu seemed to have truly made him very happy.

"No, no, no, it was the Magic Council that arrested him, not me. I just submitted a report."

Moen chuckled and shook his head, feeling as if King Thomas was the one who had directly killed Duke Savalu.

"I know about Mr. Moen's contributions. Even if the Magic Council doesn't intervene, Fairy Tail will definitely step in."

King Thomas looked serious, and when the Fairy Tail guild was mentioned, he became even more excited, as if he was very interested in Fairy Tail. He was indeed a "magic fan".

'Why is this king so unreliable?'

Looking at Thomas E. Fiore, who gets excited at the drop of a hat, Moen thought to himself that this guy really didn't seem like a king, or rather, not like a "wise ruler." At least he was quite different from the "wise ruler" in Moen's traditional impression.

Of course, judging from his words, speech, and behavior, this guy is at least not muddle-headed and understands many things quite well.

Moreover, given that Thomas E. Fiore respects powerful mages and has no intention of going against the Magic Council or the Mage Guild, he can sit securely on the throne.

The most important thing in life is to recognize one's own position and have a clear understanding of one's own abilities. In this respect, King Thomas clearly did a good job.

"To express our gratitude, we have prepared generous gifts and a lavish banquet, and we hope you will accept them."

King Thomas looked at Moen expectantly, indeed like a star-struck fan, even his invitation to Moen to the banquet was delivered with great respect.

"Of course, no problem, I'd be happy to."

Moen smiled and agreed. Although the king seemed unreliable, his attitude towards him was indeed good, so there was no reason not to give him face.

"Alright! Let's take our seats now!"

Seeing that Moen had agreed, King Thomas immediately jumped off the chair with joy. He walked briskly, grabbed the little girl beside him, and came to Moen's side, beckoning Moen to follow them.

Moen nodded and followed, his gaze falling on the little girl.

From the moment we met until now, apart from saying a few words when we first greeted each other, Princess Emerald has not uttered a single word. She seems to be a gentle and quiet person.

Behind the three, Arcadios, the leader of the Sakura Holy Knights, followed closely, but his gaze toward Moen was no longer wary.

Moen's behavior doesn't seem like that of an unruly villain, so he shouldn't harm the king and princess. Besides, he doesn't seem to have any motive. Why would a world-renowned great mage target the king and princess? They haven't had any interaction before.

"Mr. Moen? Are you really a powerful Celestial Spirit Mage?"

After the three were seated in the luxurious banquet hall, Princess Emerald finally spoke, her tone tinged with curiosity.

"Yes."

Moen answered without changing his expression.

The main theme is "I believe I am" and "Why doesn't it count?"

"Great! I'm also learning Celestial Magic, could you teach me?!"

Upon hearing Moen's words, Princess Emerald's eyes lit up; they were large and bright, like emeralds.

"."

Moen blinked. He really hadn't expected that the Emerald Princess was also a Celestial Spirit Mage. There were only twelve keys to the Zodiac, so how many did the Emerald Princess have?

"I wouldn't call it teaching, but I can share some experience with you."

Moen calmly replied that he didn't have time to be the princess's teacher.

Moreover, he didn't have much to teach, or rather, there wasn't much to teach in "celestial magic" itself; it was just a few techniques.

"As a Celestial Spirit Mage, all you need to do is work hard to improve your magical power; this is the most important foundation for being a Celestial Spirit Mage."

Next, one should practice opening multiple doors. With sufficient magical power and mastering the ability to open multiple doors, one can summon multiple celestial spirits simultaneously for battle.

Under the expectant gaze of the Emerald Princess, Moen shared his understanding of Protoss magic, which could be considered a brilliant summary.

Aside from the "Multiple Door Opening" ability, which is rather troublesome to learn, this "Celestial Magic" doesn't seem to have anything particularly special about it, at least that's what Moen knows.

"By the way, it's also important to get along well with the Protoss. This is extremely important; if you don't handle it well, you could lose your life."

Moen looked serious and emphasized this point. This was a warning from Karen, but he hadn't heard anything about what happened to that guy yet. He hoped she would take some of the advice to heart.

Even Moen, this "fake Celestial Spirit Mage," knows that he should get along well with the Celestial Spirits so that they would be willing to fight to the death for him.

"Thank you, Mr. Moen!"

Looking at the Emerald Princess, who was only about ten years old, she thanked Moen earnestly. Although what Moen said was not classified information, it was very straightforward and insightful guidance, which was of great significance to a beginner in Protoss magic.

"You're too kind, Princess Emerald. These are very basic facts, and your teacher will surely teach you more later."

Moen was honest and didn't think he had made any great contribution. Princess Emerald was able to learn "Celestial Magic" not just for fun. There must be a tradition in the royal family. Why would he need to teach her these basic skills?

The family tradition of "Celestial Spirit Magic" is very strong. Although ordinary people can learn it and buy Celestial Spirit Keys to summon Celestial Spirits, they can only summon some pet-type creatures.

Those truly precious and rare keys are basically passed down from generation to generation in mage families, and those who can truly fight using "celestial spirit magic" are these celestial spirit mages.

In Moen's estimation, the royal family must have some degree of lineage.

"Ahem, actually no."

King Thomas coughed awkwardly a few times, and said somewhat unsure of himself, "The royal family does not have a lineage of celestial magic."

"Emerald's Celestial Spirit Magic was learned from the Celestial Spirit Mages of the Heartfilia family."

King Thomas shook his head. He didn't actually support Emerald learning this magic because their royal family didn't have any precious keys, not even a key to the zodiac.

Learning this "Celestial Spirit Magic" is of no help whatsoever to the royal family. Even if the entire continent were to acquire it, it would be of no use. Why would a Celestial Spirit Mage who possesses the keys to the Zodiac sell them? It's simply impossible.

Unfortunately, ever since she witnessed Layla Heartfilia's "Celestial Magic" more than a year ago, Emerald has fallen in love with this magic. There was nothing she could do to stop her, so she could only let her learn it. King Thomas couldn't do anything about this girl either.
