A Demon Duchess
27. Cold Fire
The moonlight just then felt strange, a blood moon that could only happen within a period of one hundred and ninety-five times suddenly shone brightly in the night sky that felt darker.
Althea's eyes have not been dim, the half devil demon mode depends on emotions, when you want to turn on his ordinary half devil will raise bad emotions and if you want to turn off then his emotions must be neutral.
The anger that was so clearly drawn that even though Althea's face looked flat, the entire palace shuddered in horror at the pitch-black aura. After Althea left the bad rumors began to scatter throughout the Palace. Rumors about Althea using dark magic or Althea transacting with demons and much more.
When Althea arrived at the house someone was waiting for her at the door, the man leaned against the pole while reading a book.
"Welcome," said the man softly. He could only smile gently looking at Althea's eyes which were still bright red. Somehow Althea saw the figure of the father of the man.
Right, Felix somehow these days that guy feels so different in Althea's eyes, Felix feels so warm and comfortable. But it was precisely that Althea feared he was afraid this different feeling of re-destroying him.
He did not know the real purpose of Felix why Felix helped him so far, because from the beginning there was something strange since Felix said he would help him.
Felix walks towards Althea still with his gentle smile, Felix pulls Althea in his arms making Althea's anger muffle just like that. Althea blinked her eyes many times ensuring that her demonic mode had disappeared.
"You're not alone, I'm here." Felix's whisper made Althea flinch, how could Felix know what Althea was expecting.
...
In the morning Althea woke up very fresh, the weather was very good birds are chirping also warm sun that makes the atmosphere comfortable.
"You look better than you did yesterday" said someone with a heavy voice who managed to shock Althea. The person who was none other than Felix was somehow from when he stood in front of the door with a tray full of food.
"Thank you, I'm not usually that emotional." Althea smiled faintly with an eye like she was thinking about something. "You know I don't trust other people, do you?" Felix who was putting a tray on the table paused for a moment. He looked at Althea deeply and meaningfully.
Felix sat beside Althea, approaching in a hugging position, gently putting back the necklace Althea could somehow have on her.
"I know, that's why trust me when you want to believe" whispered Felix. Slowly the necklace pendant glowed red giving a warm feeling that could neutralize the cold coming from Althea magic.
"Warm," muttered Althea quietly.
"I put a little magic in there, water has memory and ice will become water when it's put together with fire."
....
"What?!!! the crown prince's knight? How could?! When did that happen Altheana had never even met the Crown Prince of Wisteria!" Angry Alvaro after hearing from a royal informant.
"Your majesty you should call her lady Amarylis," Lucas reminded. Lucas was also there because suddenly Alvaro called him the same as Althea predicted.
"Lady and the crown prince are a unique and dangerous combination like a burning fire but it feels ice-cold, of course the king's majesty is very restless." Lucas laughter in his heart.
*Flashback*
"After that mess Alvaro will definitely start to fidget, the morning after his is a very fitting time to announce I am the new crown prince's knight," Althea said with a satisfied expression.
"I wonder how he looks" said Lucas, smiling wryly.
"Haha you're one of the lucky ones who'll see Lucas." Althea chuckled along with Lucas as well as Felix who was there.
*backnow*
"Lady Amarylis intends to take over the vacant duke's position of His Majesty" Lucas said seriously. "Haha so she's back to be Duchess? Who do you think he is?!" Lucas clenched his fuming hand the Brengs**k is completely ignorant of himself.
"I think it's natural, especially Lady failed to become queen and lost her one-on-one family." Alvaro's eyes immediately shifted to the informant.
"Thea..."
...
The dark atmosphere enveloped the entire dusty passageway at the end of the capital. "Your Majesty, who do you really want to meet?" Asked a service-dressed girl with a torch in her hand.
"Someone who knows all about this world."
At the end of the hallway was a small room with very unique items they stopped.
*srettt*the splash of blood soiling the dress that Irene was wearing was really very creepy and life-threatening. An old man in noble clothes appeared behind Irene. "I told you not to bring anyone the Queen." Say it with a sharp look.
Her hand that was holding a knife was covered in blood from the servant that Irene was carrying. The two of them were sitting opposite a cup of tea in hand. "That boy is sneaky too" said the man as he enjoyed his tea. "This is not a time to relax!! Why would the crown prince of wisteria get involved with Altheana!" Angry Irene.
The man put his tea cup on the table, "probably because the second is not human." Irene molotot couldn't believe it. "What does it mean not to be human?" Ask Irene. "The late king, Duke amarylis as well as I used to be best friends, until the woman destroyed her all, the boy amarylis and the crown prince had the same aura, the devil!" Said the man.
"If indeed the late king and Duke Amarylis were your sidekick, why would you want to destroy them, Marquess Gerbera?" Irene asked as she looked at the person full of question marks.
"there is the glorious part."
...
The noise filled the entire meeting room of the palace, the nobles began to split into several camps, they themselves also felt the difference between now and then.
"Can you shut up!!" Annoyed Alvaro, stomping his hand to the table. The nobles fell silent and soon the guards announced the arrival of Althea.
"Altheana Lunar Amarylis, enter the room!" The guard exclaimed, with his full uniform and the sword that was beside him Althea entered the room.
The nobles both young and old stood up while nodding their heads in salute, only one person there did not stand, right! Who else if not Alvaro.
Althea walked towards the empty seat that had been prepared for her. He sat opposite Alvaro, smiling slightly at Alvaro.
"Congratulations on this cold Fire!"
