The Queen Of The Demon World
102. The Underworld (2)

“Then I have to how? Pretend surprised?”

“At least, react a little! You're not happy that you're reincarnated!”

“I don't care.” Kathelyne looked straight ahead while holding her chest. “After all, I don't want to think about things already passed.”

“Cih, not cool at all.” Ethelyne plucked the flower in front of him and twirled the flower. “Isn't it better to just change the flowers anyway. It is free to water the black rose, the color will not change at any time.” He was silent for a moment while looking seriously at the flower in his hand. “Kathel.”

“Hm?”

“How ... if we free those humans now?”

Kathelyne looked at Ethelyne with a frown. “Why did you suddenly ask? Aren't you sure of me??”

“It's not like that, it's just .. The outbreak is over and we can't hold back the humans any longer in the world of illusion, even more so. It seems like the demons guarding the basement can't hold themselves back anymore.”

Kathelyne was silent for a moment. “Just do what you want.”

“Really??” ethelyne asked as she looked at Kathelyne expectantly.

“Hm,” dehem Kathelyne while staring in the other direction.

“Really yes!” Ethelyne clasped Kathelyne's hands with a happy look. “You won't regret it right??”

“Quick go before I change my mind!”

Ethelyne hugged Kathelyne tightly and stood up and ran towards the palace with a carefree look.

Kathelyne who saw that fell silent, she smiled faintly. ‘Things like this are not bad either.’

“Master!!”

Ethelyne turned to the origin of the voice, but had not had time to react. Someone had already hit Ethelyne until he fell down. “L-laurie?”

“Master, I miss you so much!”

Ethelyne smiled, she rubbed the back of Laurie who was hugging her very tightly. “I miss you too, how are you doing now?”

“Master don't know.” Laurie looked up at Ethelyne's face with teary eyes. “Five years ago, I almost died because it continues to be disturbed by the soul of another Master.”

“Really? Why is Kathel bothering you?”

“Not including annoying anyway, it's just. He trained me to death almost every day, especially in the last three years. I would really die if only Vio didn't help me.”

Ethelyne smiled awkwardly, he glanced at Vio who had just stood still not far from the two. “It looks like you didn't miss me huh.”

“Please don't joke, Miss.”

“Hahaha, fine. I'm not gonna joke anymore, by the way. You guys are getting closer, don't-don't. You guys are sohib again.”

“That stupid wolf? Sohib?!”

“That damn dragon?? Sohibs?! Please stop joking, Miss. I never intended to think of him as a friend.”

“I am too!”

“Laurie and Vio stared at each other full of hostility.

“Aduh, it looks like I misunderstood ya.” Ethelyne shut her mouth pretending to be surprised. “I think your relationship is better, it seems I misunderstood ya.”

“Truly, there is no way this great me is friends with a gray wolf like him!” laurie said sarcasm while pointing at Vio with an annoyed look.

“You! Fucking Dragon!”

“Alright, finish this fight. Let's go back to the palace.”

Laurie stands up and helps Ethelyne stand up, before walking away. Ethelyne had a glance towards the Iceworld kingdom, where the people who were in the middle of the city looked confused. ‘Not bad ..’ He walked away followed by Laurie and Vio.

“What do you think, Miss really likes someone?”

“It seems so, before leaving I saw Master turning his head towards the Iceworld kingdom with a faint smile. Who does she like? Can you shoot him?”

“Entah.” Vio looked straight ahead. “Maybe I know,” murmured almost silently.

~~~♥~~~

“Cih, whereas I thought you would welcome my return with great fanfare.” With an annoyed look, Ethelyne sat down while holding her chest.

“You did not return from the war, why welcome you,” Kathelyne said flatly.

Ethelyne clucked again, staring at the whole room that had not changed at all. “In your opinion, what ... does not become.”

“Ask if you want to ask, no need to hesitate.”

“Iya, that was just a careless remark.” Ethelyne smiled faintly. “Are you worried about me?”

“Hah?? Why are you suddenly switching topics?”

“I did not switch the topic, it is no longer there to be discussed. That's why I asked you something else, let's answer. Are you worried about me?”

Kathelyne turned her gaze to look at the window. “No.”

“That's right??”

“Yes, I'm not worried at all.”

“Hah, what a pity.” Ethelyne sighed with a disappointed look. “When I thought you were worried about me, that's why you always go back and forth to the forest of the fairies just to see me. Even--”

“Shut! Where did you hear everything from?!”

“I heard from William,” Ethelyne said with a plain look without realizing Kathelyne's face was flushed either out of embarrassment or anger.

‘That damn William! I'll kill you later!!’

Ethelyne chuckled amusedly and made Kathelyne turn to her in confusion. “Why are you laughing?”

“Looks like you forgot,” Ethelyne said in between her laughter. “We were once one soul, and the words in your heart were. I can listen to him,” he said giggling.

‘Damn it!’

“Stop swearing or you'll get old fast.”

Irritated, Kathelyne walked away regardless of Ethelyne continuing to giggle.

As the door closed and the sound of footsteps drifted away, the laughter that kept coming out of Ethelyne's mouth slowly subsided. The girl stared at the door hangs shut tight. ‘How can I tell Kathel that Lady Maria's reincarnation was Aelene. Looks like I have to find out first if Aelene is really Lady Maria's reincarnation or maybe just a misunderstanding.’ She smiles. ‘Already, I better see Luna.’

~~~♥~~~

“What is this information trusted?” kathelyne asked as she turned the page of the action-gendered book in her hand.

“Yes, Your Grace. I've confirmed it, this information is 90% correct.”

“Reacted so.” Kathelyne closed her book, she turned her gaze towards the black-clothed man who had been kneeling with one foot as a pedestal. “Good work, you can go now.”

The man stood up and bowed respectfully, he then turned into smoke and disappeared in the air.

Kathelyne sighed and glanced at the paper piled up in front of her. ‘Could this be what Ethel wanted to tell you in advance? But why didn't he tell me directly? Does she still doubt that Aelene is the reincarnation of Maria?’ He's massaging his temples. ‘This time will really trouble me .. or, just let him search for his own information. I'd rather watch him secretly and without his knowledge, but than that. How can he not know? Her instincts as a holy maiden must have been very sharp, moreover. He can read my mind.’ He sighed while massaging his temple. “Yang this time really troublesome me.”

~~~♥~~~

“Mama! Already Luna warns not to cheat!” luna said annoyedly, she had nearly been hiding ten times already. But he's the place Ethelyne always knew.

“Loh, though it is. Mama is not cheating, Mama only got knowledge because of Mama's magic that envelops this world.” Ethelyne put on a made-up plain face.

“That's the same as cheating! Mama so found Luna very quickly right!”
