Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

"The only way to preserve that kingdom is through a marriage alliance."

Next, Eileen began her story.

The story begins with the historical context, the reasons for the marriage alliance, and continues until the woman is imprisoned by the general.

She even went so far as to transform into a dragon to protect the child in her womb.

After killing the general, it hid in the deep mountains in the form of a dragon.

It wasn't until four hundred years later,

He was able to transform back into human form only after meeting Zeref.

However, such a change is merely a change in appearance.

Eileen's inner self remains that of a dragon.

Because of this, she couldn't fall asleep or taste food.

This mental torment was driving Eileen to the brink of madness at all times.

Finally, one day, Eileen could no longer bear the dragon's body.

Her already tormented and extreme mindset led her to focus her attention on the child in her womb.

Using enchantment, one transfers their own personality into the child.

In this way, you can be reborn!

So, Eileen gave birth to the child that she had sealed in her womb with magic for over four hundred years.

That child was Erza.

Just as Eileen was about to make her move.

But she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Perhaps...it's because you smiled back then?"

Eileen's voice was filled with self-deprecation.

"That smile broke my heart and made me tremble. I realized that even the most extreme ideas would be insignificant in the face of your smile."

"So... in case I really can't take it anymore and end up hurting you, I chose to abandon you in that village."

“Before that, I had inquired about the village and found that the people there were very honest and kind. I thought... you could grow up healthily in that village, but... I never expected that you would disappear without a trace later.”

"I once thought that you had met with misfortune."

"But, I never expected that I would have the honor of seeing you again."

Inside the Twelve Shields meeting room, Eileen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Until recently, because of the sky, my body finally returned to normal, but... I know that all of this is irreversible."

"Perhaps only when that extreme thinking is eradicated will I realize how wrong my decision was."

"That's why I've never dared to bring this up, maybe it's because I'm cowardly."

"Anyway! I don't expect to get your forgiveness, but... if possible, could you let me love you one more time? Erza..."

Chapter 149 A Chaotic Relationship, Should I Call Him Dad?

"Can I love you one more time?"

Looking at the words on the screen.

Erza instinctively closed her eyes tightly.

She didn't know how to deal with Eileen now.

Discussions then broke out on the world channel.

Bob: "Looking at it this way... it seems like I'm gradually starting to understand."

Goldman: "It's understandable that he has suffered for four hundred years and his emotions have become almost twisted, but... no matter what, this is still his own flesh and blood."

Ultear: "Yes, no matter what, you shouldn't even think about harming your own child, right?"

Gerald: "You should have paid attention to her emotions at that time. After being tormented for four hundred years, it was already good that she didn't go crazy. I think... that's understandable."

"After all... she didn't actually harm Erza, did she?"

Hades: "Love and affection... are they truly the most torturous things in the world?"

Mavis: "But, undeniably, love makes the world more colorful."

"Love makes ordinary people great, doesn't it?"

Jelf: "Love... But some things are unattainable. I think Irene was the same kind of person as I was back then."

"It was because of love that she gave up her crazy idea and, before she wavered, kept her child away from her as much as possible. In a sense, this is also a manifestation of love."

Uru: "Mother and child...it's true, the rope always breaks at its thinnest point. I don't know what to say, you'll have to see how it goes."

Don't let other people's opinions determine your future.

"Erza, you should decide for yourself."

"Should we decide for ourselves...?" Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Erza held her forehead with one hand, completely obscuring her eyes with the back of her hand.

Her body was trembling.

For over twenty years, the maternal love she had never experienced had appeared before her in such a dramatic way.

Should she embrace this love?

Or... should I reject this love?

Cana took a few steps forward and hugged Erza.

She could feel Erza's body trembling and her low, whimpering sobs.

"I don't know what to say... but Erza, believe me!"

"In this world, there is no parent who doesn't love their child."

"Even a playboy like Gildarts is like that."

Gildarts, who was not far away, was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth as if to say that he was no longer a playboy.

But in the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

He watched the two girls embracing without saying a word.

"I...I...I really don't know how to face a mother who suddenly appeared?" Erza's voice choked with sobs.

Makarov shifted his attention elsewhere.

Then he wiped the corner of his eye.

"What a...poor child..."

He couldn't help but sigh softly.

After a long while, Erza, who was nestled in Cana's arms, finally raised her head.

She had already wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He took a deep breath and, under everyone's gaze, slowly smiled.

"Why is everyone so somber?"

Erza said with a smile.

“Erza…you…” Lucy looked at Erza with some concern.

"I'm fine!" Erza pushed Cana away and stood up straight.

The astute onlookers had already noticed that Erza seemed to have stopped trembling.

"Those...are all in the past, right?"

Erza asked softly.

Makarov nodded: "Everything has been in the past since the moment you joined Fairy Tail."

“Yes!” Erza exclaimed.

She looked up at the sky again.

He spoke softly in the world chat.

Erza: "Perhaps, you are actually a sad person too."

“I can understand how you feel. If it were me, I might have made the same choice.”

So, I don't blame you!

Within the Alvarez Empire.

Eileen, who had been keeping her head down and silent, suddenly raised her head!

His eyes were filled with hope once again.
