After confirming with Dimalia again and again, and after Dimalia swore that she would never harm the mother, Caesar finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then after having someone take the unconscious Brandish down to rest, Caesar took Irene back to Fairy Tail.
Fairy Tail Guild.
The party started.
Although no one knew where Caesar had gone, it still did not affect the liveliness of the banquet.
The members of Fairy Tail were drinking and chatting happily.
Gajeel also gained the recognition of Lili and was currently looking for Natsu and Wendy to let the three cats have a good competition.
At this lively moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the hall, attracting many people's attention.
"Is this the guild where Your Majesty is staying?"
Irene looked around and nodded. "Not bad."
"My handwriting is naturally good."
Caesar smiled slightly, then said to Irene, "I forgot about the party. Let's put the separation aside for now. Do you want to come together?"
"With great pleasure."
After her body was recast, her lost sense of taste returned. Irene, who had not been able to eat properly for hundreds of years, was actually impatient to try this body.
"Caesar, who is this?"
Master Makarov came over with a bottle of wine, looking a little serious.
Because the surging magic power in Irene's body far exceeded his imagination.
"Irene. Irene Belserion."
Caesar gave a brief introduction.
When he looked at Irene and was about to introduce Makarov, he found that her eyes were looking to the other side.
Following Irene's gaze, he saw Erza sitting with Jellal, chatting and enjoying dessert.
"Boom."
Before Caesar could react, Irene struck the ground with her staff, and instantly, the surging magic power acted on the entire building.
Before Erza could react, the chair she was sitting on was flipped over and flew away.
"Erza!"
Jellal quickly ran over and pulled Erza up.
The originally lively atmosphere disappeared in an instant. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Irene beside Caesar.
"Irene, huh."
Makarov said solemnly, "You are a guest, but if you attack my child, I will never allow it."
"Your child?"
Irene sneered. "Erza is my child."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at Erza who had already changed into armor on the other side.
"Irene!"
Caesar said in a low voice.
Irene finally reacted and bowed to Caesar, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I saw my worthless daughter and couldn't help but greet her."
His Majesty?! Daughter?!
At this moment, everyone's minds were about to explode.
"Your way of greeting is really special."
Caesar stared at Irene and said, "Don't cause trouble for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Irene nodded, stood up straight, looked at Erza again, did not attack, but a sneer appeared on her face.
"Wait, Caesar, what's going on?"
Makarov was also confused. He looked at Caesar and said, "She is Erza's mother? Also, what does it mean when she calls you His Majesty?"
Everyone nodded. They also wanted to know.
Only Lisanna's train of thought was a little off. She said excitedly, "My brother-in-law is the emperor, so my sister is the queen? Then, wouldn't I be a princess?"
"Well, Lisanna, that's not how the princess thing works."
Elfman awkwardly interrupted Lisanna's dream, covered her mouth, and dragged her aside.
"Anyway, something happened and I got tricked. I'm temporarily acting as the emperor of an empire."
Caesar said concisely, "As for Irene, she should indeed be Erza's mother."
This revelation caught everyone off guard.
They didn't know whether they should be more surprised that Caesar became the emperor or that Erza's mother actually came to their door.
"No!"
Erza held the sword in her hand, pointed at Irene, and said, "When I was in Rosemary Village, I was an orphan! I have never had parents! In my life, there is only one person who can be called a parent, and that is my master!"
"Erza..."
Hearing Erza's words, Makarov's eyes became moist. At this moment, he was extremely proud. Proud of his child.
"Forget it. I have no intention of interfering in your life, but I will tell you a little bit about some things, and about those three little guys."
Irene spread her hands and suddenly said, "My name is Irene Belserion. In the past, I was called the Dragon Queen."
Irene talked leisurely, telling how she had created the magic of attachment and based on it, she added the power of dragons to humans and created Dragon Slayer magic.
"I am the mother of Dragon Slayers. At that time, a steady stream of Dragon Slayers were born, and the battle situation was favorable to us."
"But later, the powerful force possessed by the Dragon Slayers began to erode them."
"Wizards who couldn't control their power became more and more violent. It was difficult to balance the dragon's power and their own bodies, so they would get dizzy during transportation."
"Later, the dragon seeds in people's bodies began to grow, and humans gradually turned into dragons. This is the end of the Dragon Slayer!"
"At that time, I gradually transformed into a dragon, and I became pregnant with you."
Irene looked at Erza, hesitated for a moment, and did not tell her about the miserable three years after she turned into a dragon.
But she didn't say anything. Caesar sighed and said, "I guess you had a miserable life after you turned into a dragon. I saw a scar on your abdomen at that time. Although it has disappeared now, a scar like that could have cost you half your life, or even Erza's life."
Caesar's words left Irene silent.
After a long while, Irene finally spoke. "Yes, I turned into a dragon in anger, destroyed the country, and wandered for nearly four hundred years. That experience was really terrible. Fortunately, thanks to Your Majesty's ability, I finally changed back."
As she spoke, Irene looked at Natsu and the others, revealing a trace of pity and said, "You are very lucky to have met His Majesty. You don't have to endure the near-despair of transforming into a dragon."
Natsu and the other two were silent. They had never expected that their own magic would have such consequences.
"Clap, clap."
Just when the atmosphere was getting a little quiet, Caesar clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the story is over. Let's stop here.
Irene, you care about Erza and let her be born into this world, which means you still love her.
So don't be upset and learn how to get along with your daughter.
Ur, I leave it to you. As for Erza, put the sword away. We are having a party. Don't be so aggressive."
Following Caesar's words, the originally deserted atmosphere eased a little, but the original liveliness of the banquet could never be fully restored.
