A Demon Duchess
17. who are you?

The morning changed by day, the day changed by night the moon radiated its radiance beautifully highlighting on the silver strands of hair that looked sharp like a sword looked strong like a diamond.

The eyes that had been closed for a few days were slowly opening beautiful eyes that lit up like crystallized blood. Althea looked out the window that was not far from her bed, the moon was shining brightly but the stars were no less beautiful than the moon made a harmony that calmed the heart.

Althea looked at Felix with an expressionless flat look. "Who are you?" Althea asked, instead of replying Felix approached Althea Felix's blue eyes slowly turning a fiery red like Althea's.

"You don't remember me?" Felix asked as he looked at Althea softly, Althea shook her head. Felix reached for Althea's locket and, slowly, looked back at Althea. "Cry, I'm with you." Said Felix While embracing Althea, Althea shed her tears in silence slowly Felix can feel the tears of Althea who began to wet his shoulders.

Althea releases Felix's embrace, staring at Felix's blue iris "you half devil?" Althea asked spontaneously, Felix nodded. "I'm sorry for what happened to you" Felix said. "Why apologize? I don't even know who you are." Not yet Felix replied suddenly there was a noise in the sound of noise heard from outside.

"Sister!!! Let me take care of him and do your job!!!" Alex shouted from outside. Felix took a deep breath trying to hold back his emotions.

*Brakkk!!!

"Ka-" Alex's gaze was fixed on Althea who was sitting on the bed. For the first time Alex felt embarrassed in front of someone.

"Alex you're disturbing" Felix said with an already very cold and sinister aura. Not her away Alex approached Althea. "Prince Alex?" Althea asked puzzledly, there was no way he would not recognize his second prince of the empire who had once led the way of his Althea examinations.

"He remembers me" Alex said proudly. "You come out I need to talk to her alone" Felix told Alex with a heavy heart Alex left the room.

Althea looked back at Felix but now her gaze was really serious. "Sister?" Ask Althea. Felix took a breath. "So my name is Felix I-" Felix said.

"Why save me? We've never even met before." Althea stood up making Felix reflexively clasped his hands. "I don't know if I should be happy or not that your majesty is helping me" Althea said cynically. Felix knew which way Althea's mind was going.

"Look I'm a lady, the first one I don't have any bad intentions towards you, the second one I'm not making a pact with Astrantia to frame you and the third one I want to help you with." Felix's face is very serious.

"If you help me what do you get?" Tanya Althea was no less serious. "I only have 1 request in return" Felix replied. "What's that?" Ask Althea again.

"I'll keep it until I need it."

....

After he finished speaking Felix led Althea to the dining room, Althea noticed every corner of this mansion although not as luxurious as the imperial palace or Duke Amaryllis mansion but this building is very beautiful with all-black interior.

At the dinner table Alex was waiting casually while eating the fruits available on the table. Althea sat in one of the chairs and Felix sat next to Althea.

Alex smiled sweetly at Althea. "So you two are also half Devils?" Ask Althea curious. "Yes, our father is a devil and mother is a human being" explains Alex. Felix placed a bowl of porridge onto the table in front of Althea. "Thank you."

Finished eating Felix took out a medicine box and asked Althea to sit on the sofa that was in the room. Felix held Althea's hand gently removing the bandage that wrapped Althea's wound.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Ask Althea. "Five days," Felix replied in a very gentle tone. Felix carefully replaced the Althea bandage but this time he did not dye it as when he first treated Althea.

Both kingdoms are under the auspices of the wisteria empire but different Celosia is a small kingdom while Astrantia can be categorized as a large kingdom.

"I'm sure father can't possibly lose to the knight Celosia" Althea said in a trembling tone. Felix patted Althea on the head. "i know, that's why I brought you here." Althea looked at Felix seriously. "Knight as strong and as beautiful as Duke Amaryllis cannot fall so easily" Felix continued. "Irene," muttered Althea as she clenched her hand.

"We don't know the truth yet so save your anger first" Felix said, making Althea loosen her grip.

*Click...

Felix flicked his finger from there out came a small ball-shaped flame and before long a Phoenix bird was formed from that small fire. "I'm lucky that my father was a devil I was able to practice self-control since childhood. But you're not like that" explains Felix, Althea just quietly does not know what to respond.

"Ice elements are not basic elements, so half Devils should not have that element as innate. You are much stronger than what you think but control it to make it useful." Felix left the room and Althea was left in his mind.

Evening arrived, the moonlight was so beautiful that Althea's eyes were shining red. Althea clasped her pendant. Now there were no more tears that he could shed.

"Who exactly is Felix." Althea said in her heart.

...

On the other hand it was more precisely in Felix's study. Felix Middle finished all the documents Alex brought for him. Alex casually drinks tea on the sofa in the room.

His second eye also glowed red like Althea's, beautiful like a sparkling jewel. "So how are we gonna help her?" Alex asked as he put down his tea cup. "I'll just follow her plot, I won't allow anyone to hurt my empress." Alex laughed when he heard this.

"Haha. empress ya, with all that lady sister's going through sure she wants to be your empress." One pen almost hit Alex. This is why you have to keep the word in front of Felix especially the thing that concerns Althea.

"I'll fruit he's sure. Because my feelings are not a contract let alone a contract and for sure I'm much better than the baj*ngan." Felix stood up and walked towards the fireplace he threw a letter slowly the letter disappeared.

"This boy is brave too."
