He suspected that his mother-in-law wanted to have sex with him.

Eileen: I really want the link!

Erza selected a few dishes from the wide variety of food, but before she could even start eating, her white-skirted maid Juliet came to report that a group of strangers had gathered at the manor gate.

Hope knew without a doubt that her companions had come looking for her.

Sure enough, Juliet said that those people had the same guild crests as Hope and Erza.

Since they were her daughter's guildmates, Eileen was naturally happy to welcome them. She also wanted to meet the matriarch Erza had in mind, as well as the two mischievous boys she treated like younger brothers.

Chapter 419 The Visitor

Outside the manor gates, the Fairy Tail members were gathered in twos and threes. Some were curiously looking at the magnificent manor, some were bickering with each other, and others were looking inside with worry.

Cana paced back and forth at the gate, carrying a bottle of fruit wine in her hand, occasionally tiptoeing to peek into the manor. "Why isn't Hope out yet? Could it be that he got killed by Erza's mother because of his foul mouth?"

At this point, Kana even made a neck-scratching gesture.

"Don't worry, Hope may be unreliable at times, but she never makes mistakes when it comes to important matters."

Mirajane's face darkened, and she retorted, "And you're so good at making connections, why don't you be bolder? Why not say Hope took Erza and Irene, and they're having a mother-daughter affair...#..."

Whoa whoa whoa!

Is this something I can say?!

What's with your vivid imagination, you scheming woman!

Kana spat out a mouthful of fruit wine, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in shock at Mirajane's incredible statement. She had only been trying to liven things up a little; it was impossible for Eileen to actually have the ability to defeat Hope.

Unexpectedly, Mirajane, who is all smiles and no substance, made a shocking statement, directly threatening to cuckold the two of them, even fantasizing about a mother-daughter relationship.

For no apparent reason, Kana conjured up an image of two red-haired beauties serving her in her mind, and subconsciously took two steps away from Mirajane. Could this guy have some strange fetish...?

Seeing that Kana was frightened by her, and her terrified little expression was just too much, Mirajane smiled smugly, "Just kidding. They say alcohol emboldens cowards, but Kana, even after drinking, you're still not brave enough?"

Kana's lips twitched; was it a matter of courage...?

Let's take a look at Natsu and Gajeel arguing not far away.

A small flame ignited on Natsu's fist. "Iron Dragon! I just told Happy I wanted to challenge Erza's mother, and you seem to have a problem with that, you bastard?"

"Shut up."

Gajeel rolled his eyes at him. "We came to Alvarez to help Erza find her family and Lucy find her people, not to cause trouble. How could you just act impulsively and ignore everything? You stupid fire dragon."

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

"I'm talking to you, you got a problem with that?"

"Let's fight!"

Come on!

Seeing the two of them fighting, Lucy and Levy exchanged a helpless glance, and Lili pulled Happy back two steps to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Even though Natsu's arch-rival Gray wasn't in their group, Gajeel surprisingly took his place, and the two went from bickering to fighting...

Sitting on a streetlamp outside the manor, Mavis calmly watched this scene, swinging her legs and holding a lollipop she had bought from the port of Vistalia.

Hades remained silent.

Makarov looked up at the magnificent manor, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Erin Bercelion.

This being, who was already a legendary figure hundreds of years ago, is now a mainstay of the Alvarez Empire. His strength is unfathomable and far surpasses that of him.

Makarov never imagined that one day a junior member of his guild would be associated with such a person.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll be in-laws.

"President, what are you thinking about?" Mirajane walked up to him without him noticing and smiled gently.

Makarov shook his head and sighed, "I only saw the scene when Hope joined the guild. I never imagined that Fairy Tail would have undergone such a dramatic change in just over a year."

“Isn’t this great?” Mirajane chuckled. “At least our savings are growing.”

Makarov: "..."

You've hit the nail on the head.

As they were talking, the wrought iron gate of the manor slowly opened.

Juliet stood behind the door, smiling at everyone, and said politely, "Please come in, everyone. Lady Irene is already waiting for you."

The crowd filed in.

Walk along the path paved with light gray flagstones, pass through an exquisite garden where butterflies flutter, and enter the magnificent main villa in the center of the estate, where relaxing music is playing in the reception hall.

As a person of refined taste, Eileen's residence, like her former status as a queen, is both magnificent and elegant.

That is, if you don't encounter someone from Fairy Tail...

"so big!"

"It's bigger than Lucy's house!"

"Happy, let's go on an adventure in the villa together!"

"like!"

In just a few minutes, Natsu and Happy "accidentally" broke the bonsai tree and scratched the valuable paintings on the wall... The once elegant aristocratic reception hall was instantly turned into a mess by them.

Eileen, as the owner, was not angry at all; instead, she watched them cause trouble with great interest.

But Erza couldn't sit still. She had told Irene that Natsu was just a mischievous little brother, but Natsu came and pulled this stunt on her.

Erza blushed a little at the thought of her losing face in front of her mother, even though Erin didn't seem to mind.

This is no longer just simple mischief.

We must strike hard!

Half a minute later, Natsu and Happy, who had been running around like huskies just moments before, now had two big bumps on their heads and, under the pressure of the devilish boss behind them, obediently bowed to Irene.

"I'm so sorry!"

Please forgive us!

Seeing Natsu beaten into a docile state by Erza, Hope deliberately and accidentally burst out laughing. This Natsu is such a wimp. Why don't you dare to fight Erza?

Natsu understood Hope's look. He wasn't stupid; fighting Erza was easier said than done—he'd need the guts to do it...

Everyone in the guild knows that Natsu is Erza's henchman.

Hope used the "Arc of Time" to recreate the reception hall, and the little incident was over.

After the two maids served tea, Eileen formally expressed her gratitude to Makarov. Without Fairy Tail, her daughter would have had to suffer even more before finding happiness.

After some polite exchanges, Lucy nervously sought help from Eileen. Since Eileen was her daughter's companion, she naturally didn't mind lending a hand, but...

"Find someone?"

Upon hearing Lucy's request, Eileen paused, then said, "I'm not good at this. There are hundreds of millions of people in Albania, and there are definitely thousands, if not tens of thousands, of green-haired girls around seventeen or eighteen years old."

There are so many....

Just as Lucy was feeling discouraged by the number, Hope glanced casually outside the manor, a hint of amusement flashing across her face, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Then, Eileen noticed something and smiled at Lucy: "You're really lucky. The big shots who can help you find people have come knocking on your door."

"Your Excellency Eileen, we are hardly important figures."

Please forgive my unauthorized visit.

A strong, resonant voice came through.

Outside the hall, a sturdy old man with white hair and beard, holding a magic wand, appeared out of nowhere.

Behind him were a bespectacled man exuding a cold aura and a wild, dark-skinned youth. The two, one cold and one warm, followed behind the old man on his left and right.

Chapter 420 The Rampaging Lolita

The old man was dressed in a simple, unadorned gray-white robe. He looked like an ordinary old man with a slightly serious expression, and even gave off a kind feeling.

But Hope sensed that the old man's magical power was so terrifying that it was unsuitable to use Lucy as a unit of measurement.

So please welcome the next unit of measurement, the Makarov.

It's not that Hope looks down on her own president.

The difference in the quality of magic is simply too great.

Frankly, even if ten Makarovs were put together, Hope didn't think they could be a match for this old man who looked like the neighbor's grandfather.

After all, although Makarov was strong, his magic power had long since reached the limit of what he could grow, and moreover, due to his age, his strength was no longer what it used to be.

But the old man's magic was on another level; it was a nearly inexhaustible, boundless power that seemed capable of shaking heaven and earth.

With such terrifying magical power, the identity of the visitor is obvious.

"Ah~ the Magic King has arrived."

Eileen greeted them lazily, her tone casual, but it made the Fairy Tail members present sit up a little straighter.

Magic King Augustus.

The Grand Consul of the Alvarez Empire, a figure second only to the emperor, and Emperor Zeref's most trusted confidant.

It is said that he knows no less magic than Zeref, and is a legendary figure known as the "King of Magic," and is considered one of the "Twin Pillars of the Empire" of Alvarez, along with Irene.

Eileen waved her hand casually, and Juliet immediately understood, bringing over new teacups and snacks.

Auguste calmly sat down in the guest seat, his wand resting against the side of the chair. The wand was entirely black, its shaft smooth as a mirror, with a dark red gem set at the top, occasionally flashing a faint light. It looked ordinary, but in reality, it was priceless.

The bespectacled man and the dark-skinned boy who came with August stood behind him, one on his left and one on his right, like two guardian deities.

Auguste got straight to the point, stating the purpose of his visit.

It turned out that the Empire's detection magic circle emitted a powerful burst last night, causing a massive surge of magical energy in the direction of Florasia. August recognized it as Eileen's magic.

Throughout the entire Western Continent, the only opponents who could make Eileen take things seriously, besides the Emperor, were August himself. Therefore, he suspected that a powerful outsider had entered Alvarez.
