The Queen Of The Demon World
117. Suspicious

“Please, Miss Ethelyne.”

“Hehe, thank you Meli. By the way, where's Kathel? I didn't see her again after coming out of my room yesterday.”

Meli who was busy wiping the apple skin suddenly fell silent, she smiled thinly but seemed forced. “Your Majesty is in her study, she left her job for a few days to take care of Miss. So the work became very stacked this time.”

“Reacted so.” Ethelyne nodded her head while nibbling at the apple in her hand, she silently glanced at Meli who was acting strangely. ‘It's obvious he's lying, I've been looking for Kathel in the whole palace since this morning. But don't find him anywhere, where is he really?’ Ethelyne stood up and made Meli look up. “I'm going to the human world and meet Eadric.”

“Wait a minute, Miss!” meli said as she stood up, she looked nervous and hurried.

“What's up?” Ethelyne looked at Meli confusedly, she slightly tilted her head.

“That, actually..” Meli said stammeredly, she played her fingers while glancing around looking for an excuse.

“Hm?”

“S-actually, actually His Majesty asked you to guard this Palace while he was away, yes, like that! Hahaha.” Meli laughed stiffly.

“Ah, so yes.” Ethelyne smiled. “Not before did you say Ethel was in his study?”

“S-soal it...” Meli glanced in the other direction with cold sweat running down her forehead.

“Honest of all exactly what happened!”

“A-anu, actually. His Highness the Prince... His Highness prince Eadric.”.

“What?”

~♥~

“What, what the fuck??” muttered Ethelyne in disbelief. “Why can..”

A few hours ago, in the demon realm palace.

“A-anu, actually, actually His Highness prince Eadric already..”.

“Say the clear!” ethelyne said firmly.

Meli closed her eyes tightly. “Actually, actually His Highness the prince is engaged.”

“Eh? Lying right? Wait, whoa! Looks like I misheard.” Ethelyne rubbed her ears.

“T-no, Miss Ethelyne. Ever since you were unconscious, His Highness the King in the human realm suddenly held His Highness the Prince's engagement party with the Grand Duke's Princess, when His Majesty found out about it. He's angry big.” Meli looked down sadly. “He approached His Highness the prince, but he was not allowed to meet the prince and was expelled.”

“Ha-ha-ha, you're kidding me right! It's all just a joke, right! Ah, I'm sure, I must still be dreaming.” Ethelyne patted her cheeks in disbelief.

“Please stop, Miss.” Meli immediately held Ethelyne's hands together. “Y-which you heard it was all true, His Highness the prince..

~♥~

‘Eadric, how could he..’ Inner Ethelyne who was still in disbelief, he approached a little girl in shabby clothes. “Excuse me, what happened here?”

“Ah, does sister not know? His Majesty's engagement party the prince is determined and his show will last for a whole week, Her Majesty's potential fiancee is Miss Sela, the only Princess of Grand Duke Brown.”

“A-ah, so yes. Thank you for telling me.” Ethelyne smiled sweetly even though her face looked pale.

“Is sister okay? Brother's face looks pale, how about you rest at my house first? I'm sure mom will be happy to receive sister.”

“Thank you, little girl. But I'm fine.” Ethelyne rubbed the little girl's head, she then opened her fist. Suddenly, five gold coins appeared in his palm, Ethelyne handed the gold coins to the little girl. “This is for you, take it home and don't show it to anyone but your mother yes,” she said with a blink of an eye.

The girl received the gold coin with sparkling eyes, she looked at Ethelyne with her sweetest smile. “Thank you, beautiful sister!”

“Owhh, sweetness.” Ethelyne ruffled the little girl's hair in a fit of rage. “Omong-by the way, what's your name? I'm Ethelyne.”

“My name is Aliya, Brother Ethelyne can call me anything.”

“Eum, then, I'll just call Liya yes. It's okay, right?”

Ethelyne smiled gently, for some reason. Seeing Aliya's sweet smile made the burden on her heart disappear.

“Alya!”

Ethelyne and Aliya turned to the origin of the voice simultaneously, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes walked towards the two in a hurry. The woman hugged Aliya. “Darling, where have you been?? Why did you suddenly disappear? You're making mom very worried.”

“Sorry, mom. Aliya wants to buy me bread. But what Aliya brought was not enough, fortunately. There's this kind-hearted Brother.” Aliya took off her embrace from the woman and looked at Ethelyne. “Thanks to this beautiful sister, Aliya can buy better food for mom,” he continued while looking at the woman.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be closing her mouth holding her haru, she hugged Aliya. “I'm sorry mom, baby. Because of mom, you also suffer like this.”

“This is not the fault of mother.” Aliya returned the woman's embrace.

Ethelyne simply stayed in place with a faint smile, staring at the two in silence. Even so, there was a deep longing and sorrowful look in his eyes, Ethelyne wiped her tears and smiled. “Since Liya already has money, how about taking mom to a restaurant to eat?”

“Iya!” said Aliya spirit. “Come on, we're going to the restaurant. You can eat well there!”

“But... we don't have that much money.”.

“Do not worry, Madam. I'll treat you today as a thank you.”

“What did you say, Miss? It should be me who is grateful, you already helped my Princess and even gave her money. It is inappropriate if you treat me,” the woman said condolently.

Ethelyne smiled. “It's okay, Mistress. After all, Liya is a sweet child.” He lowered his head and looked at Aliya while wiping the girl's mane, Ethelyne then looked up at the middle-aged woman. “I also want to ask for a little help, so if you don't mind..”.

“Eum... alright, but if we meet next time, let me treat you,” said the woman steady.

Ethelyne kept putting on her sweet smile. “Sure.”

“Let's eat at restaurant!” aliya interrupted them both.

Ethelyne chuckled slightly at Aliya's behavior. “Good, well, let's go to restaurant.”

Aliya held Ethelyne's hand and her mother's hand pulled the two into a restaurant.

“Be careful, don't let you fall,” said the woman worried.

Ethelyne let the little girl pull her everywhere, she silently glanced towards the palace door not far from where the three were, the door seemed to be tightly guarded by eight warriors. ‘Eadric..’.

~♥~

“Good day, Prince Eadric, do I bother you?” asked a beautiful girl when she opened the door, her smile as sweet as honey with two pink eyes, her hair which was also pink seemed in harmony with the dress she was wearing.

Eadric who was staring out the window only glanced at the girl at a glance before returning to daydream.

The girl smiled softly. “Prince Eadric, you ignored me again. Though I am your fiancee loh.”

~♥~~♥~

Jing... Jing...

The protagonist in the novel appeared😯

If Ethelyne really goes into the novel, like Eadric's fiancee (aka Sela) will be the main character. You see, Mimin wants to describe the figure of Sela as a perfect figure. But Mimin does not know how to write how😥 so write as much as Mimin just.

By the way, after so many episodes finally our male protagonist appears as well huh. Roughly, Eadric Nerima was engaged because he liked Sela or because of something else?

Humm, just wait for clarification in the upcoming episode 😉

See you soon and... See you in the next episode
