The Queen Of The Demon World
101. Underworld

“Hoam ..”

“It looks like you're very sleepy, didn't Nina tell you not to come if you're busy.”

“It's okay, anyway. I'll just be bored in the room keep.” Ethelyne propped up her chin.

Murry sighed, he looked at William who shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. “Alright, have you spoken to the Queen of darkness?”

“Yes, but he seems to be upset with me. Huuh ..”

“Why again?? Didn't you go there to persuade him to free the humans, after all. His reign has come to an end thanks to contribution-”

“Thanks to Kathelyne's strength, right?” Ethelyne stared at the two flatly.

Murry just cleared his throat with a lazy look.

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent, there was no sound in the meeting room. All three were silent with their respective daydreams.

“Two of you.”

Murry and William turned to Ethelyne at the same time.

“What ... when can Lady Earlene be resurrected?”

Murry and William stared at each other for three seconds before looking back at Ethelyne with a flat look.

“Different from you, other holy girls take a very long time. It can even be up to years before it can be resurrected, it can also .. cannot be resurrected.”

“Eh?? Why?”?

“Ethel, the sacred power shared is certainly limited. Moreover, the body that was used as a container to hold their souls had been destroyed-”

“Then why can I be resurrected?? Didn't I also lose the container-”

“You did not lose, but we who seized your soul by force,” cut William fast.

Ethelyne looked at him annoyed. “Is it true they can't be resurrected again??”

“Possible failure up to 70%, but. Even if they fail to resurrect, they can still be reincarnated into the next life. Sure with new container and memory.”

Ethelyne threw her face away, she knocked on the table with a look of annoyance.

“Lady?”

“Huuh, then. What percentage of success to resurrect me?”

Murry was silent for a moment. “46%.”

“Tuh right!” Ethelyne stood up while hitting the table. “Only 46% only but I can be resurrected, why can't they!”

“You don't understand, Ethel.”

“I understand everything! You just don't want to resurrect them right, because of the situation I'm experiencing-”

“We've tried it, Lady.”

“What?”

“Yes, we have tried it. But the eleventh holy lady .. failed after her death.”

Ethelyne sat with a face of disbelief. “So, during this ..”

“We managed to find the reincarnation of the first Lady, Lady Maria. But, we still do not know the whereabouts of the other lady. Or chances are, they haven't been born.”

Ethelyne massaged his temple. “So, who is Lady Maria's reincarnation?”

William looked at Murry as if asking for an opinion, the blue-haired man nodded with a flat-faced look.

“Mary's reincarnation is ..”

~♥~

“Congratulations-His Majesty The Queen?”

“Hai, Loreen. Where's Kathelyne?” ethelyne asked with a sweet smile, her beautiful silver hair tied one up in a plain black dress.

“You ..”

“Ah, you seem to have forgotten me huh? I'm Ethelyne, no. More precisely, the holy soul of Ethelyne. You remember right.”

“No need to be that formal anyway. I'm not a guest nor a royal family, so. Please call me Ethelyne. By the way, where's Kathel? Is he still mad at me?”

“I don't know, but it seems. His Majesty is in his study, he did not even come out after your departure.”

“Hah, it seems like he is really angry huh. Oh, where's Aunt Meli?”

“Meli is in the back garden.”

Ethelyne nodded small. “Ok, I go first.” He walked to the back of the palace while waving his hand towards Loreen. ‘I have to meet Kathel as soon as possible, but rather than that. More important is to find out who is the reincarnation of mother.’

~♥~

“Aibi! Yuhu~” shouted Ethelyne while hugging Meli and cornering the woman.

“N-nona Ethelyne? Why are you here?”

“I want to meet aunty, anyway. Very boring to be in the upper world, what aunt?”

“Ah, this is yes. I was watering the plants, once. Madam really likes colorful plants, but ever since she left. This park is no longer maintained, after all this time. Your Majesty finally asked me to take care of this park, maybe Your Majesty likes a colorful garden like Madam.” Meli smiled faintly, she recalled the days where she was with Earlene who played in the still-preserved and most beautiful flower garden in the underworld.

“Bibi~” says Ethelyne whining. “Do aunts only remember Kathel? I also like colorful flowers.”

“Iya, yes. You are also the daughter of Mrs Earlene.”

Ethelyne smiled sweetly, she sat on the bench and looked at Meli who was watering the plants. “Aibi,” call him.

“What's up, Miss?”

“What Auntie, not tired?”

Meli stopped her activities, she looked at Ethelyne confused.

“I mean, what Aunt ... not tired of living this long?”

Meli who was initially confused smiled thinly. “No, because thanks to me being a demon. So I can see the growth of You and Your Majesty, although in the end I will regret it. At least, I can enjoy life even though it will be confined in this sunless world for the rest of my life.”

Ethelyne nodded her head in understanding. “I love aunt very much, hopefully. Aunty can be happy here, sorry because I can't help much. Even if it wasn't for me, auntie would have been able to live a life like a normal human. Sorry.”

“This is not your fault at all, Miss. Anyway, I am grateful. At the very least, I can see the growth of you and Your Majesty with my own eyes. That's more than enough, after all. I will also die from the curse of the devil.”

Ethelyne sighed as she leaned back with an indecipherable look on her face. “Aibi, what Aunty-”

“You chatted happily until you forget me.”

Ethelyne and Meli turned to the origin of the voice, Meli immediately bowed respectfully as she saw Kathelyne walking towards the two.

“Oh, Kathel. You're not angry anymore?” ethelyne asked intentionally.

Kathelyne just stared at him flat. “You go, I want to talk to him.”

Meli again bowed respectfully and walked away, after making sure Meli was really gone.

Kathelyne looked at Ethelyne who was also looking at her with a plain look. “It looks like you're very happy to have me,” he said while holding his chest.

“I've never cheated you, I'll just talk to the facts.”

“Your eyes!” upset Kathelyne, Ethelyne just giggles at hearing it. Kathelyne sat next to him and leaned in. “How?”

“Hem? How's what?” ask Ethelyne with her signature plain look.

Kathelyne looked at him flatly. “Soal generation mother.”

“Ah, which is it yes.” Ethelyne clasped her chest and closed her eyes. “Hem ..”

“Quick say!”

“Actually ...” Ethelyne opened her eyes and looked at Kathelyne seriously. “Mother, already reincarnated.”

“What?”

“Yes, because the generation success is only 30%. It's not clear yet whether you've come back to life with a new container, but I can confirm. First Lady Virgian has reincarnated and lives as an ordinary human being.”

“Oh,” replied Kathelyne not interested.

“Ihh! Though I have said it very seriously, but your response is like this!”
