"Your life won\'t be the same as your current life. You might even be forced to marry someone just so you will be able to survive." Charlotte shook her head.

"You sound like someone who has given up." Nathan squinted her eyes.

"…" Charlotte didn\'t respond to that remark. "Anyway, you have proposed, so man up."

"This and that are two different matters."

"Is it?" Charlotte squinted her eyes. "For someone who is actually from another world, I don\'t think it\'s a different matter."

"What do you mean? Someone from another world?" Nathan tilted his head in confusion. Still, his heart was beating rapidly, not knowing why Charlotte suddenly mentioned it.

"You have the knowledge that this world is not supposed to have." Charlotte raised a finger.

"I know this from them." Nathan pointed at Fenrir and the others. There was already knowledge about other worlds coming from familiars, so it wouldn\'t be weird if Nathan also gained that type of knowledge from his familiars.

Charlotte raised her middle finger. "Second reason. The illusion you have created. They are so vivid that a few words are enough to give you that kind of image in your head. The fact you recognize them on the spot is as if you have \'seen\' them instead of \'listening\' or \'reading\' them.

"The muscle memory that you have gained from your common sense is not easy to get rid of. Even if you manage to fool anyone else, you can\'t fool me. After all, I am relying on it to establish my illusion.

"Just like the first time I invited you to the library, you found yourself in that small room. And even after you woke up here and summoned your beasts, why didn\'t you attack me?"

"That was because—" Nathan wanted to say something, but Charlotte cut him off. "Because you wanted my knowledge? Was it really the case? Had you ever wondered if you were still within another illusion of mine and I had actually planted an order that you shouldn\'t kill me deep into your subconsciousness? Now, why don\'t you try to attack me and see whether you can do it or not?"

Nathan froze as he realized he had fallen into her trap. If he gave that order, even if Anubis and the others attacked her, it was still the same as him admitting there was indeed a \'secret\' he was hiding. And that secret was the fact he came from another world.

On the other hand, if he didn\'t give that order, he simply admitted her statement was true.

Nathan was tongue-tied, thinking about how to escape this situation.

The Fairy Queen made a smug yet sly smile as she said, "Not going to say anything? How cute."

Nathan might have severely underestimated Charlotte. He thought Selena was already smart enough, but there was a reason the woman before her was a queen.

As if realizing what would happen if they continued the conversation, Charlotte asked, "Do you know why I gave you that hairpin?"

Nathan remained silent, being cautious.

Charlotte simply raised both hands, each forming a sphere. "The world we currently know is that the summoner acts as a beacon to summon otherworldly beings such as I, you, and the three beasts behind you.

"However, anyone can summon a familiar that is looking humanoid but not completely human. Why? There must be a lot of heroes coming from the human side as well. There are a lot of summoners in this world that can be considered heroes, so there must be a lot of humans like that in other worlds?

"I have been pondering this question for more than a century. There are possibilities, such as the children they give birth to… Does it belong to this world or another world? Unlike other races that can\'t have a child because of their different races, this might not happen if they summon a human.

"The second possibility is that they are overlapping with the beacon itself, so they\'re unable to be transported.

"During the summoning ritual, a bridge will appear, connecting the two worlds." Charlotte began creating a light blue tunnel attached to the two spheres. "The beings from other worlds come to this world because they know where to go due to the existence of the beacon.

"What if we change the beacon from you to me? What if I\'m the one doing the summoning?

"Do you think it\'s possible? Unfortunately, not. It\'s weird, right? Is it because I\'m from another race? How about if we summon a human and let them summon another familiar? If we assume that one human can summon ten familiars, doesn\'t that mean a single summoner can summon ten familiars and those ten familiars will summon another ten each?

"If it\'s not possible, what if the summoner marries those humans and gives birth to children? Will their children become the next beacons?

"If they can\'t give birth, what will happen? There are a lot of questions that can\'t be answered. And your existence has just proven one more possibility. Are you really a human? You look like a human, but you might not. And what about those beasts?

And what if you actually marry the humans from this world and reproduce?"

Charlotte walked toward Nathan and placed her hand on his cheek. With a seductive smile, she said, "I will be yours. If you want my body and heart, I will give it to you. If you want the world, I will conquer it for you. All I wish from you is one thing. Please allow me to stand by your side.

I feel like I\'ll be able to find the answer I\'m looking for."

Nathan\'s expression turned solemn. "What makes you so obsessed with the truth?"

"I once met another fairy who belonged to another person. Did you know what she said back then?"

Nathan shook his head.

"The dead Queen Charlotte is standing in front of me."

"!!!" Nathan widened his eyes. That statement simply questioned the existence of the familiar.

Fenrir, Anubis, and Nidhogg might have existed, but all he knew was their myth. Where were they? Fenrir should have died in Vidar\'s hands. In fact, the moment he realized it, he remembered that he should have died on Earth when his head hit the sharp corner of the table with such momentum.

Charlotte smiled. "Are we still alive? What happens to our original world? What actually are we? I want to know that answer. Summoners War… Those two words already existed before I even came to this world.

Are they still existing now? I wonder what war it is talking about… Whose war are we fighting for?

"Even if I have to lose my life, I wish to die after knowing that I am just a mere pawn, instead of having an illusion that I am a queen."

Nathan\'s body was shaking. He couldn\'t compare his own bullshit to the truth. That was why he thought of an appropriate response. "I…"
