"By the way, Elina, who's this handso man? And why does his aura... not feel elven?"
Elina smiled and introduced Leon with excitent. "He's a human—and not just any human. He's the Fated One."
The mont she said it, the atmosphere fell into stunned silence.
The fairies stared at Leon with wide eyes, completely dumbfounded.
"What did you say? The Fated One?"
One of them broke the silence, and suddenly, the quiet turned into a flurry of excited voices.
"How is that possible? Is he really the Fated One from the legends?"
"Wow! He's so handso! If Elina says so, I believe her!"
"Hahaha! It really is him! The Fated One has finally appeared!"
The fairies fluttered around Leon, full of joy and wonder.
Although their lifespans were shorter than those of the elves, the fairies had preserved the prophecy of the Fated One in their history.
Now, after more than seven thousand years, the legendary figure had finally appeared.
Seeing their excitent, Leon could only smile in resignation. Still, instead of annoyance, he felt genuinely happy.
Like the Spirit race and the elves, fairies were among the least likely to turn against him—thanks to their innocent and cheerful nature. But if soone did anger them, the consequences could be terrifying.
"Hello, everyone. My na is Leon Kruger. As Elina ntioned, I am indeed the Fated One. It's a pleasure to et you all," Leon said politely, introducing himself.
Seeing Leon's friendly deanor, the fairies' fondness for him grew rapidly.
"Hello, Fated One! My na is Elisa! Nice to et you!"
A red-haired female fairy flew right up to Leon's face, introducing herself cheerfully.
A small smile curved her lips as she looked at him with soft eyes and extended her tiny hand.
Leon smiled and raised his index finger in greeting.
"Nice to et you too, Elisa. You're very beautiful and adorable."
Elisa's cheeks turned as red as a tomato, and it almost looked like white steam was rising from her head.
Complints about appearance were unusual among fairies—not because they disliked one another, but because their innocent nature made them unaccustod to such direct praise.
That was why Leon's sincere words struck a chord in Elisa's heart.
After her, more fairies—both male and female—eagerly ca forward to introduce themselves.
Leon's warm and approachable nature quickly put everyone at ease.
He was also impressively knowledgeable, able to answer all their questions effortlessly.
As a result, Elina—who had been the center of attention just monts before—was now completely ignored.
"Damn... these fairies are so annoying. The mont they make a new friend, they totally forget about !" She grumbled, hands planted on her waist.
Still, she wasn't truly angry. Deep down, she felt nothing but joy.
Leon's quick bond with the fairies ant one thing: he had gained the support of their race.
And it was all thanks to her!
A proud smile spread across Elina's lips as she imagined her na going down in history—as the bridge between the Fated One and the fairies.
"By the way, Fated One," Elisa called out, "since you're here, let's go et the queen right away. She'll be thrilled to see you!"
Her suggestion was quickly t with enthusiastic agreent from the other fairies.
"Yes! Let's go see the queen. She's been waiting for you for hundreds of years, you know?"
"Mhm! That's right! Co on, follow us!"
Leon didn't hesitate. eting the Fairy Queen had been one of his goals—to inform her about his arrival in elven territory.
"Alright," Leon said with a small nod, then glanced at Elina. "Let's go, Elina."
"Okay!" she replied with a bright smile.
With that, the fairies began leading the two of them toward the queen's palace.
The palace sat at the center of a vast flower bed, resting atop a massive blue blossom with elegant white patterns. The flower itself stood nearly two ters tall.
Nestled in the heart of its petals was a breathtaking palace, crafted from white and red crystals that shimred in the light.
"By the way, how am I supposed to get inside that palace? I'm way too big," Leon said, scratching his head in confusion.
"Don't worry, Fated One. We can shrink you down to our size," Elisa replied proudly, patting her tiny chest.
"Oh?" Leon raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.
Before he could ask more, Elisa and the other fairies began to fly in circles around Leon and Elina.
*Whoosh!*
A soft golden powder sparkled from their hands and gently enveloped Leon and Elina's bodies, swirling around them like magic.
Within seconds, golden light radiated from their bodies, and they gradually shrank down to just ten to fifteen centiters in height.
Leon gasped—he hadn't expected such a thing was actually possible.
The surrounding grass and flowers now towered over him like skyscrapers from his previous life.
In the distance, he spotted a black ant about two ters away—and it was nearly half his size!
He turned to Elina, aning to say sothing, but her wide-eyed, confused expression showed she was just as surprised as he was.
"Maybe this is Elina's first ti experiencing sothing like this," Leon thought.
Just then, Elisa and the other fairies flew over, their cheerful expressions impossible to miss.
"We're the sa size now, Fated One," Elisa said with a bright smile.
Leon looked at the girl in front of him and let out a soft chuckle.
"Yes, we really are the sa size now."
Then, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, he asked, "How long does this effect last?"
"About three hours," Elisa replied gently. "After that, you and Elina will return to your normal size."
"Good." Leon let out a small sigh of relief.
Being tiny was an interesting experience—but not sothing he wanted to stay stuck with. After all, he had important matters to take care of.
"Then let's go et the queen," Elisa said as she fluttered her wings and led the way toward the palace on the tallest petal.
A few other fairies helped Elina fly, and together they followed closely behind.
Before long, they arrived at the palace grounds.
"Wow... it's beautiful!" Elina exclaid in awe.
Previously, Elina had only seen the palace from afar at her normal size. But now, viewing it from a fairy's perspective, everything felt breathtaking.
Leon nodded in agreent. The palace before him was indeed magnificent and awe-inspiring.
While it couldn't quite match the grandeur of the Erald Palace, the Demon Imperial Palace, or the Holy Orthodox Hall, its architecture had a distinct charm that made it unforgettable.
Just as Elisa was about to invite Leon and Elina inside, a middle-aged fairy suddenly appeared, his face clouded with sorrow and distress.
Elisa's eyes widened in shock.
"Uncle Ronald!"
Ronald flinched at the sound of her voice, then turned to her with a panicked expression.
He rushed over and exclaid in a trembling voice, "Princess, Her Majesty the Queen... she's in danger!"
