Chapter 53

【Belserion's eyes seemed to be flashing with light, his tone carrying certainty! And.】

Hades: "Another solution? What other solution could there be in this situation?"

Mavis: "I don't know, but in my opinion, we should explain the danger this time clearly to everyone on the continent."

"Gather everyone on the continent to rise up and resist; this might be the only way to resist the giant dragons at present."

"However..."

Speaking of this, Mavis's voice paused.

"However, the most serious thing facing Eileen and the others right now is actually not the invasion of the giant dragons!"

Makarov: "Then... what else could it be?"

Eileen: "The fear in people's hearts, I suppose."

Mavis: "Exactly, the image of the giant dragons being invincible has already taken root in people's hearts."

"To gather everyone on the continent now to resist the giant dragons together is undoubtedly a very difficult task, because most people, upon learning that the enemy is giant dragons."

"Will choose to surrender without hesitation, because everyone knows that fighting against dragons only leads to a dead end!"

Mavis's words were not unreasonable; as the Fairy Strategist who once made a name for herself throughout the Fiore Kingdom.

Mavis had her own perspective on looking at problems.

And she used this to help the newly established Fairy Tail win countless victories.

But, even if she said so, it proved that the difficulty of this matter had left even Mavis helpless.

Mavis: "Therefore, we can only try to reverse the image of the giant dragons being invincible in people's hearts; otherwise... this war is bound to be lost."

Eileen: "The key difficulty lies right here; wanting to reverse the fear in people's hearts... how easy is that!"

Mavis: "So, I am very curious, what exactly is Belserion's solution?"

Eileen: "I don't know either; in my timeline, Belserion didn't come up with any solution."

At this moment, the scene continued.

【The meeting was forcibly dissolved by Belserion.】

【It pulled the bewildered Eileen to the back garden, and after ensuring that no one was following them, it turned its gaze toward Eileen.】

【"Belserion? What solution did you come up with?"】

【Eileen looked at Belserion's huge body with a puzzled expression.】

【At this moment, even on that old face, there appeared a human-like struggle.】

【"What are you hesitating about?"】

【Eileen asked.】

【Belserion took a deep breath and spoke solemnly to Eileen.】

【"Eileen, I hope you know that my loyalty to you, and even my loyalty to the Dragonov Kingdom, is without any second thoughts."】

【"You should be able to see this, right?"】

【Belserion did not get to the point, but suddenly started talking about the topic of loyalty.】

【"Back then, when the old King saved me when I was on the verge of death, he made a contract with me, and I would become the guardian beast of the Dragonov Kingdom."】

【"Moreover, I have always guarded the royal family and have always been loyal to the royal family; I have always kept this in mind and have never forgotten it."】

【"Uh... I know this, and I am also very grateful for Belserion's unwavering support, but... what does this have to do with the solution you want to talk about?"】

【The confusion in Eileen's eyes deepened, and she scratched her head, asking in bewilderment.】

【Hearing this, Belserion nodded silently. Then he paused.】

【After a long while, he asked: "Eileen, tell me honestly, what do you think of Natsu?"】

【"Eh?!!!"】

【Eileen was caught off guard by this sudden question.】

【"Natsu? What does this have to do with Natsu? He is just a guest in our kingdom, isn't he?"】

【"Just tell me, what do you think of Natsu?" Belserion repeated the question again.】

【Eileen frowned slightly upon hearing this, touching her smooth chin with one hand:】

【"Hmm... a monster teenager who is kind-hearted, brave, innocent, and helped us kill a dragon."】

【"That's a pretty high evaluation." There seemed to be some amusement in Belserion's tone.】

【Eileen did not notice anything wrong, just nodded in agreement.】

【"How could the evaluation of such a teenager not be high?"】

【"To this day, I can hardly forget that day, the scene where that dragon named Nickel fell."】

【"It was truly shocking!"】

【"That's right then." Belserion nodded gently.】

【The confusion in Eileen's eyes deepened, and she looked up and down at Belserion's huge body, saying somewhat uncertainly:】

【"Belserion... did you injure your brain in the previous battle?"】

【"Are you okay?"】

【Eileen's expression was quite worried, as if she were very concerned about the injury to Belserion's head.】

【But, how could the experienced Belserion not hear it? He glanced at Eileen helplessly.】

【Then he sighed: "What I asked you before was to prove that I, Belserion, have a completely different starting point from that damn Dylan when it comes to dealing with such matters!"】

【"All my decisions are made based on your consideration."】

【"So, what exactly is your solution?" Eileen asked again.】

【"I ask you, what is our biggest predicament right now?" Belserion continued to ask.】

【When asked this question, Eileen also showed the quality that a queen should have.】

【Like Mavis, Eileen quickly saw through the essence of the matter under careful analysis; the biggest problem now is actually not the arrival of the giant dragons.】

【But the idea that the giant dragons are invincible is deeply engraved in people's hearts.】

【Therefore, under the immense pressure of the giant dragons pressing on the border, the people in the kingdom, including the Prime Minister, would seek medical advice blindly and look for helpers everywhere.】

【For this, they would even go so far as to sell out their own Queen, facilitating a political marriage between the Queen and a general from another country.】

【In the end, it still stems from a lack of self-confidence.】

【Of course, it does not rule out that Dylan might have other considerations, such as... promoting a situation that is beneficial to himself.】

【However, for most people, it is more that they do not believe that their kingdom alone can fight against the evil giant dragon race!】

【"Exactly!" For Eileen being able to see through this, Belserion nodded repeatedly to show his gratification.】

【"Then how can we reverse this situation?"】

【Eileen looked at Belserion.】

【"This is the reason why I just asked you what your opinion of Natsu is."】

【"Ah? What does that have to do with anything, Belserion? Don't keep me in suspense."】

【Eileen complained while picking up the tea handed over by the maid to moisten her thirsty throat.】

【"My solution is actually very simple: since we have to have a political marriage, why not marry Natsu? Anyway, you have a very good feeling about him, and your evaluation of him is quite high..."】

【"Pfft!!!!"】

【Just as Belserion's voice fell, Eileen sprayed a mouthful of tea directly onto Belserion's dragon face!】

At this moment!

The outside of the sky screen also exploded!

August: "Pfft!! What the hell?!!"

Ajeel: "Ah??"

Hades: "Ah???"

Brain: "Did I hear that right?"

The newly resurrected Ur: "Is there something wrong with my eyes?"

Ultear: "It seems like there's something wrong with my eyes too..."

Jellal: "This solution... is so explosive!!!"

Mard Geer: "Hmm... are dragons' minds this strange?"

Makarov: "Pfft hahahaha, he's grown up, he's grown up, that black Natsu over there!"

Gray: "What a joke! Can such a thing happen?!"
