Chapter 157: Chapter 44: Escaping To Avalon!
After finishing lunch, Maria asked if he would escort her to the portals as she wanted to visit Avalon to protect her territory as someone was attacking it. Lancelot found her upset look too adorable and couldn't help but smile and grasp her hand, enjoying the contrasting emotions of her worrying and embarrassment from holding hands.
Strange...
There have been two people, no three, watching us since we left the dining hall, but that is not including Sebastian, and they are so good at hiding their presence that I cannot make out who or where they are watching from.
"Hehe~ holding a hot guy's arm, the hottest guy's arm."
Lancelot could only smile wryly as his left eye noticed long ago that Maria's back was fluttering with blue fairy wings that flickered with delicate snow dust each time she got excited.
It seems that Maria is a special woman able to synchronise with her summons, so naturally, this normally requires using summon drive, but she... is doing it like breathing.
"Are you going to enter Avalon with me, Lancelot?"
He knew that she didn't know about his and Guinevere's secret, so he just nodded at her bright face and could only hope that she wasn't in a place close to danger because he didn't have any memory of her once they formed the round table of resistance...
A table of Lords who came together against the traitors.
It took Lancelot a year to finally be allowed to sit on that table after several died, and he became recognised...
Looking at the little fairy with a smile, he believed she would have been on that table if she were alive, and if she had taken the enemy's side, he would still have known of her...
Fairies are rare troop types as their race was very playful and had high standards, and if they had any darkness in their hearts or any deceit would only get imps or demons instead.
"Do you want to enter with me, snow fairy?" He would always play along because the queen fairy did not take over but assimilated, meaning the two girls' feelings were identical, and both existed at once.
These were the actions and questions little baroness Maria was too shy to ask or do, while the little fairy wanted the best for her master just like Morgana did Lancelot.
"I do... If you were close to my village. I would be so happy!" Her ice-blue eyes shone and flickered soft snow each time her long lashes fluttered from happiness.
Lancelot laughed wryly... Maria and her queen fairy, if both were the same and synchronised naturally, why does she need summon drive... Or how powerful would it be if she used it... He could not help but ponder this as she led him towards the academy portals while squeezing his hand tightly as if she never wanted this moment to end.
It was at that moment his thoughts were proved to be true... a flash of red before a fireball was thrown towards the pair as Maria's wings fluttered brightly, and her beautiful ice-blue eyes changed to a midnight blue before a veil of snow covered her and Lancelot as he felt a chill down his spine as a shield of pure mana in the form of snow surrounding them.
"Who!? Why did someone attack you here?" Maria's soft voice sounded as she looked about, ready to cry, before she moved towards him.
The fireball struck the shield as Maria pulled Lancelot towards her and pushed him down while protecting him—the cool feeling of her body enveloped him as she so flexibly cast another spell, several ice blades shooting towards the attacker, who suddenly fled the scene.
Lancelot took a deep breath before he saw another flicker of light, but this was something her body couldn't stop... it was a huge spell only castable by an instructor!
A rock meteor shot towards them, so he lifted his body, wrapping it around the cute fairy, who let out a sudden gasp and squeak as the huge rock smashed into his body, sending them both flying into the Avalon portal together.
At the very last moment, Lancelot's fingers snapped as hundreds of purple blades sliced through the walls and floor, tearing apart the instructor's defence, leaving hundreds of deep scales on his legs, arms and several on his face, before the male fled the scene as a strange sensation filled both Maria and Lancelot...
The world began to twirl as nausea and turbulence caused their bodies to fling around the portal's tunnel. Maria screamed as Lancelot hugged her tightly...
Protecting her body against the harsh, turbulent forces, strange arcane tears and sharp, magical debris began to cut and tear into his flesh as they were suddenly flung out at their destination...

Meanwhile, the attacker escaped successfully...
"Heh... he is stronger than expected."
"Mother of Sorrows, please forgive this servant's failure!"
"However, my goddess will enjoy him after she breaks his body and mind... haha, he ruined a chance for me to claim the frost fairy's heart and offer it to her."
The assassin laughed evilly before disappearing, leaving only blood flowing from his many wounds!
***
A winter village with tall conifer trees, gentle singing from a female choir, and a fresh fragrance of pine needles filled the senses as Lancelot opened his eyes slowly while carrying Maria, who clung to him tightly.
Her soft lips were kissing his neck, sucking on one of the wounds gently, while her blue wings fluttered rapidly, licking his wounds with a pleasant face only to freeze the moment he looked into her eyes, and she pulled away.
"I can't help myself... the moment the fairy queen synced with my body, she suddenly got carried away... my saliva can heal your wounds, and you probably enjoyed the sensation of my lips!" For the first time, Maria seemed to speak her feelings and scolded him back as she wiped the blood from her lips and looked around.
"Ah... were at my village... how are you here too?"
What? How could I travel to another Lord's territory... this place is a Lord's domain... only becoming a spouse or getting special permission should let me pass to her lands. Lancelot pondered this, his wounds healing rapidly...
Maria sighed, realising Lancelot's confused gaze... "My queen fairy says only a strong, handsome lover can be here with me... Lancelot, you are my prince."
Eh!? What is this!? Is it some kind of fairy rule? That is absurd... How can Fairies change the very workings of Avalon?
However, it had happened: a Lord on the brink of becoming a Demon King was brought to this small fairy village with lovely women fluttering their wings with snow and ice dancing through the air...
The village was full of cute snow elf maidens dressed in fluffy fur outfits that wrapped around their modest chests with small ears covered with their woollen hats...
Lancelot couldn't help but notice several elven maids whispering among themselves while giggling seductively.
Maria realised and slapped his cheek, "Bad boy... only my body belongs to you, don't look at other fairies!" She cried, looking extremely upset as several elves gasped with a pouting expression, causing Lancelot to sweatdrop.
Seeing his reaction, they all began to laugh and gently giggle, with Maria hugging his body tightly, "I'm sorry, we were just playing..."
Lancelot then noticed that the fairy was no longer inside her... now the ice fairy queen was sitting on a small fairy throne that floated in the air with two cute masked fairies flying beside her.
...This girl doesn't realise, does she?
How cute is She... But why do I get only bad feelings about what happened to her in my last life?
He wanted to give the brave girl a little reward, his hand stroking the side of her face as she finally seemed to panic before he leaned closer and pressed his lips against hers... Maria was surprised as Lancelot kissed her sweetly, his tongue slipping inside her mouth as he licked her tiny tongue.
Maria trembled as her wings flapped brightly... Snow began to fall from the sky like it was linked to her feelings and emotions as the elves and queen fairy all stared, entranced as their kiss ended, and Maria's cheeks turned scarlet.
Lancelot decided not to tease the small girl too much as her Queen was staring directly at him as if to devour him... but then she jumped on him and kissed him again!
Maria straddled his waist, her soft body melting into his body while she pressed her lips against him wildly and licked him with her little tongue... Lancelot decided not to stop her and allow the small girl to let all her desires and frustration out... He wasn't going to let her slip through his fingers anyway.
Now, it was too late—she had begun to flutter her little fairy wings into his heart. She was different from Evaine, Guinevere or Morgana... This girl was so gentle, her lovely snow gently pilling up until his heart became a winter wonderland.
His eyes stared at the queen fairy floating on her throne as she stared with an evil smile and winked at him with a cute smile, even giving him a thumbs up...
Damn, the fairy tricked me! She wanted this all along... for Maria to finally take a step with her own body and will... ah... but her tongue feels so good when it coils mine... it's a little cold and tastes of mint chocolate and was addictive.
Maria finally stopped kissing Lancelot as her wings fluttered while pulling back... her icy blue eyes staring into his as he held her slender waist while she remained on his lap. He then gently patted her head while humming a childish song.
Lancelot could only laugh as she sat on his knee like a child as he was taller and far older... he didn't mind the position as it caused her big, springy breasts to squish against his chest and neckline while she rubbed her nose against him, smiling happily.
"This is such a lovely dream, ehehe.... kissing Lancelot in my village, one of my dreams came true, hehe.
"It's not a dream, Maria—now that you've kissed me twice, don't think I'll let you escape to another man," Lancelot whispered with his deep voice, pulling her tightly against his chest as the fairies all began to sing and dance in the sky and the elves clapped...
Two small fairy crowns made with white and blue flowers were dropped on their heads... as if this was a real wedding ceremony!?
"Mmmm... so manly and sexy, just like my naughty dreams..." Maria was still in her strange mood as they both suddenly froze at a sound in their ears.
[The Fairy Queen Melodica has overseen the marriage of Maria Lovell and Lancelot du Lac.]
[Winterdale is now a joint territory between the husband and wife.]
[Lancelot can teleport and build freely in Winterdale but needs to be kind and gentle with his new wife, or the Fairy Queen will punish him.]
