The Mother of Fairies is the creator of the entire fairy race, the founder of the Holy Fairy Empire, and the first generation of fairy queens.
The bloodline of all fairies originates from the Fairy Mother. Legend has it that her power is close to that of a true god, and there are records and myths about her in different countries.
But hundreds of thousands of years have passed since the origin of the first empire.
During such a long period of time, the Fairy Mother has not appeared in reality again. Only when some extremely outstanding descendants appear in the fairy royal family will the Fairy Mother have a chance to bestow gifts.
But not every outstanding royal descendant can receive the blessing of the Great Fairy Mother at the coming-of-age ceremony.
Although Ophelia was young, she was the most outstanding of the twelve royal descendants, even qualified to inherit the throne. According to her talent, she was third in line to the throne.
"My dear sister, with your talent, there's a high chance you'll receive the Fairy Mother's blessing." The fourth princess, Sylvia, a strong and capable fairy with short purple hair, patted her sister's head with a smile. "Even if you don't receive the blessing, with your talent, it won't be long before you reach adulthood and become a Nine-Ringed Great Fairy."
The Nine Rings is the watershed of fairy magic and the beginning of a qualitative change in the soul. The power of magic increases exponentially. At this point, it is also the backbone of the combat force in the entire Holy Fairy Empire.
"But... I'm from the royal family. Nine rings are far from enough." Ophelia's azure eyes reflected an inexplicable luster: "The empire needs me. The people need me."
The little princess's simple wish at her coming-of-age ceremony was to become a leader in the empire as soon as possible. Many children, when they grow up, always hope to accomplish something that will impress their family and friends.
"Okay, okay, my dear sister, the empire does need you." Sylvia stroked the fairy girl's long hair and said soothingly, "But you are still very young, you can take it slowly."
She then paused for a moment, then changed the subject, saying, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. You should enjoy your youth and not worry too much about other things. ——When you leave later, Father and Mother will be watching you!"
"call..."
After hearing this, Ophelia took a deep breath and patted her hot cheeks to calm her hot emotions.
My sister is right. Today is her coming-of-age ceremony. There are many nobles in the empire, as well as my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen, watching her. I can't go out with such a sullen face.
"By the way, after today's coming-of-age ceremony, you'll need to immediately select your knight guards. They'll be your sword and shield. This is a rite of passage for every member of the royal family upon reaching adulthood." Sylvia watched her sister regain her composure before pulling a parchment booklet from the hand of a nearby maid. "Knight guards hold special significance for the royal family. Here's a list of candidates. While it's still early, why not take a look and prepare yourself mentally?"
Unlike ordinary knights, the royal knight guards usually number only one to three. They are the royal family's personal guards and the most direct and reliable subordinates. They are all selected from knight families with extremely high loyalty.
This is a traditional ceremony that has been passed down in the royal family for many years. It is a process that every royal family member must go through after the coming-of-age ceremony.
"Okay, sister."
Ophelia took the parchment booklet, placed it on the table in front of her, and began to read it carefully.
She flipped through the first three or four, all of whom were handsome adult fairies with strength above seven rings, pure bloodlines, and all from famous knight families.
With the Seventh Princess's family background and vision, she had naturally seen many outstanding young talents. Her expression did not change at all. She just looked at the descriptions of these people and nodded from time to time.
However, when she turned to the sixth one, her gaze paused for a moment, revealing some confusion.
Ophelia pursed her bright red lips, extended a white, almost transparent finger, pointed at the picture of the sixth candidate, and whispered to her sister beside her, "Sister, is this little girl really a reserve guard knight?"
That overly youthful appearance...
No, it should be said that it has a childish appearance. It looks like the body has not fully developed. It is short and small, and a little cute and pink.
In fact, the age written next to it is indeed just over 200 years old, and it is a real fairy child.
The strength is only five rings...
Is this the descendant of some powerful noble who got in through the back door through connections?
"Are you talking about her?" Sylvia glanced at the candidate's picture, not paying much attention. She just said casually, "Natalie Thompson. Her father, Oger, is a Royal Knight. Three generations of her family have served the royal family. Their loyalty is guaranteed. As for the little girl herself, her strength is only average right now, but because she has considerable talent, she is qualified to be selected for the reserve."
"Good talent?"
Ophelia was a little curious. If her sister said she had good talent, then she must be really good.
"When she was about 180 years old, the fairy school she attended detected that she had awakened pure gold bloodline, one of the main branches of the origin bloodline."
Sylvia smiled slightly and explained.
Naturally, she put a lot of effort into understanding her sister's reserve guard knights, and she needed an accurate data analysis of the basic information of these reserves, what they did and said.
