Chapter 1674
“You did it… you released that horrible spell. You’ve killed… millions.” Calypso glared hatefully. “Humans were the only ones who died. Just as many fey perished in the aftermath. More will die when the winter comes.”
It was another scene. It was hard to tell where they were, but Calypso was once again facing the fey king.
“Hahaha… when you didn’t come back, you forced my hand.”
“You can’t possibly be saying this is my fault,” Calypso responded.
“The fey had no choice. The ability of humans to resurrect is too great. Our only option was to destroy them in such a way that they wouldn’t be able to resurrect their way out of it. Even if they had connections to every person who died, they wouldn’t be able to resurrect a quarter of them before the time limit is passed. Resurrection is truly a hateful ability.”
“Your children can be resurrected,” Calypso responded defiantly.
“Yes, the noble line is safe, but you don’t plan to become the mother of all fey, do you?”
“…”
It seemed that the king had never figured out Calypso’s deception. She was a human, so the nobles should be half-fey. It seemed like it’d be a pretty easy thing to discover. Maybe, in some of the memories, she wasn’t showing me, there was an explanation for that as well. I seemed to recall her using some kind of magic to prevent the king from having any more children.
This was likely done in retaliation. It fit Calypso’s character perfectly that she would prevent him from ever having any more kids to punish him for forcing himself on her. This was why the yellow-haired fey eventually became synonymous with the noble line. It wouldn’t be so hard to believe similar magic prevented the king from realizing these children were impure.
