THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Return of the Demon Queen 5 (Reuni)

During the journey, Chrysanthemum looked at Lili who was walking in front of him. Thousands of questions and feelings began to fill his brain. Chrysanthemum asked him, but he was afraid to offend him. Silence occurred during the journey of the two of them. Suddenly, Lili's voice calling out her name began to break the silence between the two of them.

"Slices, today is really something."

"Well?!"

Suddenly Lili stopped and turned back to stare at Chrysanthemum.

"What are you thinking?!"

"What?!"

"Huff, if there's something stuck in your heart, just say it."

"Lil..."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Actually who are you?"

Hearing the question uttered by the Chrysanthemum, Lili simply replied with a cold smile.

"Why are you asking like that?!"

"sorry. But I feel that you've changed."

"Changed? What part of me has changed?"

"many things. Including the elves."

"I never change. It's just your feeling. Regarding the elves...Do you think it's wrong if I'm friends with them?"

"I'm not saying it's wrong. Just how do you know them? And, you even helped them. As if you knew them very well."

"If someone asks you for help, will you just shut up? Are you gonna pretend like nothing happened?"

"That's..."

Suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the sky. The clear sky suddenly turned dark and was accompanied by flashes and the sound of lightning striking in the sky. Lili and Chrysanthemum looked up at the sky. And he saw that there were thousands of elven beings flying towards them. They quickly landed right in front of Lili and Chrysanthemum. One of the beautiful elves in the form of half a flying fish came over to Lili with a restless and frightened expression.

"What's up?!"

"Gugugu!" said the elf while moving both of his hands into the air as if telling something.

Chrysanthemums were confused at the behavior of the elf while shaking his head. He glanced at Lili who was seriously listening to him.

"Where is he now?!"

"Gugugu.gugugu!" continued Elf while showing her hand in the other direction.

"What about the others?!"

"Gougu!"

"What's Lili? What did they say?!"

"Their king was attacked by a horde of unknown people while trying to release his citizens."

"Then?"

"The person I arrested managed to escape because of the crowd."

"Then, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna help them again?"

"Yes. If you don't want to help, you can wait for me here. I'll ask one of the elves to keep you here."

Hearing that, Chrysanthemum stared at the thousands of elves with very strange faces and forms.

"You don't look at them just by their looks. Sometimes the outer appearance is perfect, plain, calm, it is just a trick. Even demons can disguise themselves as humans. Have you ever seen a human being like a demon?"

"No. To be honest, I don't understand what you're saying, Lili?"

"Simply put, don't look at people by their looks. Sometimes even bad ones, he still has a conscience. Ironically, the one wrapped up perfectly was even the heart of the devil."

"Is there such a thing in the world?!"

"Of course there is. You just have to choose. Which part do you want to be?"

"I just want to be myself."

"It's good if you have such thoughts. I hope you can keep this yourself."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then you stay here with them. Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."

"Because you said that. I'll stay here with them."

"Yes. All of you, ask him for help to look after my friend. Are you all ready?!"

"Gougu!" the elves shouted with cheerful expressions on their faces.

The chrysanthemum that looked at the expressions of the thousands of elves who listened to Lili's request with pleasure, felt a little touched. He thought, what Lili said has a point. We can't see a book on its cover. More than judging something only from the opinions of others. Lili also said goodbye to Chrysanthemum and thousands of elves who were there accompanied Chrysanthemum. He flew with the beautiful elf in the shape of half a fish like a flash of light.

"Waahh they are fast." chrysanthemum shouted in admiration.

"I feel like Lili's hiding something from me. It seemed to be avoiding my question. Actually, who is he?!"

"Your monument!"

"sorry. I don't understand what you're saying. I am different from my friend. He can understand your language, but I don't. So, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to answer. But, because I don't know what you're saying."

Hearing Chrysanthemum say that, the beautiful elf smiled at him.

"I think you understand our language" said the elf while smiling at him.

How surprised Chrysanthemum was to hear the word that came out from the mouth of that beautiful elf. Not the "Gugu" he heard. Except human language.

"You... You.. can speak human language too?"

"of course. We can all."

"But why did you say Gugu?"

"That's our language for conveying confidential information."

"So you guys are..."

"Yes. We can talk like you. We can also feel emotions like you. Be it love, anger, hate."

"That's it."

"Maybe in your eyes, we are evil elves."

"I don't think that."

"I'm just saying maybe. The rest, only you know for yourself."

"Sorry, may I ask you something?"

"Tell me. As much as possible, I'll answer."

"Actually, since when did your king know my friend?!"

"Why are you asking like that?"

"I just feel like my friend is hiding something from me."

"He's not that kind of person."

"Huh? What do you mean, he's not that kind of person?!"

"He's not a bad guy. He also never hid anything from others. He's a sincere man. It's just..."

"What only?"

"All I know is, he's not who you think he is. He was warm, always smiling and sincere. Sometimes I think, has she never cried in her life? He may have cried, but he never showed it to anyone else. If you ask me, when did my king start to know him. As I recall, he and the king began to know each other as the armies of the previous king surrounded and tried to destroy us all. He came to help us. If there wasn't him then, we probably wouldn't have lived to this point."

"So you're saying, he.. ah my friend helped you?!"

"Yes. He helped us once. And therefore, the king told us to honor him. Just as we honor the king."

"If it's like that, then he's hundreds of years old now?!"

"really. She's young, isn't she?"

"No. This is impossible. If what they said was true, if Lili had helped them and known their king long ago when they wanted to be destroyed by the previous king, it would have meant that Lili was hundreds of years old. Don't-don't he..."

Elsewhere

"Hahaha... what Elf king?! You're nothing but trash! Ahaha!" shouted the black-robed man while stepping on the hand of the Elf king with his feet.

"Abkkkhhh!!?" shouted the Elf king in pain.

"Sir, you're right he's nothing but trash! Let's just kill him, sir?!"

"Humph, you're right too. Besides, he's helpless now. Said he wanted to free his people, but he himself was trapped and could not escape. You're really smart."

"Thank you, sir for the compliment!"

"Let's just end this! Hiyaatt!" the man shouted as he brandished his sword and was about to thrust towards the back of the Elf king who was lying on the ground helplessly.

Just as he was about to thrust his sword, suddenly a gigantic sword-shaped ice spear flew up and smashed into the sword, until it fell to the ground violently. Mirisnya, the ice spear not only hit the sword, but was able to penetrate and injure the hand of its owner.

"Sir, are you okay?!"

"Damn it!!! Who's that?!!" shouted the black-robed man while enduring the pain of being pierced by the ice spear in his right hand.

"It turns out you can feel pain too, Elder Menzy."

The two men immediately looked back and saw a girl he knew very well. The Elf King who heard this familiar voice, tried to get up and turned his head towards the source of the voice.

"Your Majesty." cried the Elf king.

"What?!" elder Menzy said as she was surprised to hear what the Elf King said.

"What's the matter with Elder Menzy? Why are you so nervous? Didn't you look so haughty?!" tease the girl.

"Fuck, that's what you look like! Fucking girl! You're still alive apparently!"

"You're wrong. I've been dead. And I, come here to pay the debt between us!" said the girl with a cold smile on her face.

"Cih, what debt?! Don't talk too much! My hands are already itching to kill people!"

His eyes were sharp as knives ready to draw anyone who approached. There was a sharp glint in both of his eyes. A cold smile plus the look of his hateful eyes, added to the atmosphere became gripping.

"Chairman Menzy, let's reunite for a moment. Do you want to start?"
