Crazy Britain:They’re All Raising Me

"Goddamn Northern King."

When Guiniweir read this, he couldn't hold himself back.

This is definitely not a good title... As far as he could remember, there were three people who had been called the Northern King, but only one of them was well-known: the grandson of the Shu Han Emperor, who, if memory serves, committed suicide at the altar of Emperor Zhao Lie when Shu Han fell.

However, this part belongs to the general history of humankind, and Nocknaley wouldn't know about it. The word "king" here has a very different meaning in the Fairyland of Britain compared to the meaning it holds in China.

In the Fairy Kingdom, there are no emperors—kings are simply the highest rulers. And the title of "Northern King" holds significant weight for the northern fairies.

After all, Nocknaley's own title has always been "Northern Queen." For her to posthumously elevate Guiniweir to the title of "Northern King"... it's almost like confessing her feelings in front of the entire Fairy Kingdom.

Naturally, her subordinates would oppose this. After all, it would mean giving the northern fairies a nominal king who was already dead. It would be strange if they accepted it.

Then Guiniweir saw another line of text from the system:

[Although Guiniweir had once been a vanguard officer for the northern fairies and was undefeated in battle, setting an unprecedented record of ten consecutive victories within their army, which earned him broad recognition among the northern fairies despite being human... making him posthumously a king consort was strongly opposed by the Prophecy Child, Artoria, and the Fairy Knight, Tristan.]

...Ah, so it was Artoria and Bavanzi who disagreed.

Well, that's fine then.

[On the day of her coronation, the new Fairy Queen Nocknaley granted Norwich to Bogut, while Oxford was rewarded to the fairy knight Galwyn, who had made significant contributions during the battle against Woodworth. Following this, Galwyn became the new chief of the Teeth Clan.]

[Since the former clan leader of the Teeth Clan, Woodworth, could not be subdued by the Parlu Ball, Nocknaley eventually imprisoned him in the newly built Glasgow prison city and immediately ordered her subordinates to develop a new type of Parlu Ball.]

[After Nocknaley's coronation, she redefined the calendar, declaring her year of ascension as the first year of the new Northern Calendar.]

[Afterward, Nocknaley focused on governance, implementing her consistent policies: abolishing the Fairy Kingdom's enslavement of humans, signing lifelong employment contracts with humans, establishing the Northern Labor Law with an eight-hour workday, prohibiting factory owners from forcing workers to "voluntarily work overtime," mandating a three-hour afternoon break, and requiring all workers to exercise for an hour after work, with psychological counseling twice a week.]

[In December of Northern Year 1, the Prophecy Child Artoria completed her pilgrimage, after which she bid farewell to her close friends, Fairy Queen Nocknaley and Fairy Knight Tristan, and returned to the planet's inner sea to sleep.]

"My mission is complete, and there is no reason to remain in this land... Besides, the person I most wanted to see can no longer be seen."

"Since that's the case, I will sleep first—though, if someday you truly need me, I will return to help you."

"Then, everyone, let us meet again in the future."

[In January of Northern Year 2, after discovering widespread violations of labor laws by factory owners, and the greed of both humans and fairies making it impossible to fully enforce the laws, Nocknaley revised the factory policy, requiring all factory owners to be subdued by the Parlu Ball before starting their businesses and to enter a binding contract with her Northern Fairy faction.]

[Simultaneously, Nocknaley declared the use of the Parlu Ball a state monopoly, prohibiting non-officials from using it. Anyone wishing to use the Parlu Ball had to first be subdued by her and required to sign a mandatory Parlu subjugation contract. With the exception of Nocknaley, no other citizens were allowed to use the Parlu Ball against anyone or any fairy.]

[In Northern Year 4, after considerable investment in research and development, the Parlu Ball technology broke through, leading to the creation of the Parlu Ball II type assembly line factory. Soon after, Master Parlu Balls and Legendary Parlu Balls were developed.]

[Afterward, Nocknaley personally went to Glasgow and subdued Woodworth with a Legendary Parlu Ball.]

[In Northern Year 5, as the new Parlu Balls were capable of subduing great fairies, Nocknaley issued a new Anti-Corruption Law, requiring all nobles and lords of the Fairy Kingdom to be subdued by the Parlu Ball to ensure their compliance with the Fairy Kingdom's laws.]

[The clan leaders of the Teeth Clan, Fairy Knight Galwyn, Fairy Knight Tristan, Wing Clan Leader Mewryen, Teeth Clan Leader Bogut, Mirror Clan Leader Gareth, and Wind Clan Leader Coral all agreed to this policy.]

[However, once this policy was announced, it quickly met with strong opposition from numerous higher-ranking fairies. Several great fairies initiated rebellions, but after Nocknaley deployed the former Teeth Clan leader Woodworth at the head of a Parlu Legion, the rebellion was swiftly quelled and the policy was forcibly implemented.]

[In Northern Year 6, after all the high-ranking fairies and fairy lords had been subdued by Nocknaley using the Parlu Ball and entered into binding contracts with the Northern Fairy faction, Nocknaley issued a new decree to extend Parlu Ball subjugation to all citizens.]

[Many citizens viewed these policies as blatant dictatorship, but under Nocknaley's iron fist, they had no choice but to comply.]

[Once all citizens signed contracts and joined the Northern Clan, many of the original clans of the Fairy Kingdom gradually disappeared, leaving only the Northern Clan, while clans like Wind, Mirror, Earth, and Wing only kept their original names, having effectively been replaced by the King's Clan.]

"This isn't so bad, is it? Since everyone is part of the King's Clan, it means we are all equal, right?"

"Of course, except for me."

[Nocknaley herself made this remark.]

[However, Nocknaley did not abuse the power of the Parlu Ball. She only issued commands requiring all citizens to follow the laws and regulations, forbidding anyone from harming or exploiting others.]

[Thus, a nation with a crime rate of zero was born.]

[Afterward, as the entire Fairy Kingdom's magical beasts were captured by the Parlu capture teams and put into production, the country's productivity increased. As a result, Nocknaley revised the labor law, changing the eight-hour workday to a four-hour workday with a three-day off, four days working schedule.]

[Thus, a utopia-like country was established under the dual forces of the Parlu Ball and the Queen's contract. Northern Queen Nocknaley was hailed as the "Eternal Queen" by the people.]

[Later historical records stated that, to avoid the potential problems arising from her forced enforcement of the laws, the Eternal Queen spent her life continuously improving the Fairy Kingdom's legal system, striving to increase the happiness of her citizens. She never married and had no romantic scandals.]

[Some say the Eternal Queen was a born saint, an absolutely selfless person, and her lover was the entire nation, so she never sought affection from anyone else.]

[Others say her heart had already been given away long before the unification of the Fairy Kingdom.]

[The person she cared for was buried in the farthest north of Britain.]

[End of simulation.]

[Summarizing your achievements in this simulation…]

Guiniweir sat back in shock after reading the evaluation. He then opened the simulator's Spirit Seat Collection and began flipping through it.

Soon, he found the "Eternal Queen Nocknaley" with a score of 98 points.

Wow, so I basically rode Nocknaley's coattails to get into the Spirit Seat?

Seeing this, Guiniweir couldn't help but chuckle. It felt a bit weird, but... it was still good.

He wasn't used to being carried by others since he usually led the charge alone. But hey, it was a nice change.

Just then, Guiniweir realized that the Spirit Seat wasn't exclusive to him.

He flipped through the collection again, but besides his own record and Nocknaley's "Eternal Queen," he didn't see anyone else's records. Instead, there were a bunch of locked sections marked with question marks. When he clicked on them, the system displayed: [Data lost, cannot view.]

What does this mean? Does this system have other spirit records from before?

Guiniweir rubbed his chin in thought.

But for now, he had no leads and didn't continue dwelling on it.

However, thinking back, Nocknaley scored a whopping 98 points and became the only one besides him to enter the Spirit Seat... Next time they meet, she'll probably go crazy in front of Artoria, right?

Guiniweir could vaguely imagine how furious Artoria would look.

That would be pretty fun.

——And indeed, that was exactly what happened.

In Nocknaley's palace, bursts of laughter echoed through the halls:

"Hahahahaha! The Eternal Queen! I knew it, the management of Britain should have been mine!"

"98 points and into the Spirit Hall! Can Artoria do that?!"

"Too bad it's still two points short of full marks... I know! It must be because I didn't take Guiniweir! Next time, I'll definitely bring him to my side!"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to accept the memory... let me take a look."

Outside the palace, the Northern Fairy guards, who were standing watch, exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what was going on with their ruler.

...

However, not everyone was celebrating.

For instance, one individual still flying through the air, searching for Guiniweir and the others.

After receiving the memories from this simulation, an overwhelming surge of real memories hit her brain, along with endless pain and regret. She was so overwhelmed that she lost her breath, even forgetting to keep flying. She fell from the sky and crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Despite the physical pain from the fall, it was nothing compared to the agony she felt inside.

"Why... why did it turn out like this?"

"How could I have been so wrong?"

"Guiniweir is Yuse... Why, why didn't I notice earlier?"

"Clearly, as a dragon, I should have been able to see our future... Why..."

Suddenly, a realization hit her.

Yes, as a dragon, she should have been able to see her deeply connected one's future. That's why she never considered that Guiniweir could be Yuse—because she saw nothing in his future.

Then, who? Who was blocking her perception?

After a brief moment of confusion, Melyusina wiped away her tears and immediately got up, turning around to fly straight toward the distant King's City Camelot.

Not long after, Melyusina arrived at Camelot and, ignoring the queen's knights stopping her at the gate, stormed into the palace's hall where Morgan used to hold court.

"Morgan! Get out here!"
