The Queen Of The Demon World
118. Aliya

“What?! So you're the holy Lady??”

“Eh, you, where did you hear??” ask Ethelyne in shock.

The middle-aged woman looked round her eyes, she immediately knelt down and made Ethelyne even more shocked.

“Pardon the insolence of the servant, Holy Lady. Servant really doesn't know that it's you.”

“Wait, wait. What is the madam doing? Please quickly stand.” Ethelyne tried to help the woman stand up, but the woman remained determined to kneel.

The woman turned her head towards Aliya, she raised one hand towards the little girl with a gentle smile. “Honey come here.”

Although he looked confused, Aliya still walked towards the mother.

“Aliya, you are very lucky dear.” The woman rubbed Aliya's face gently.

“Lucky?”

“Iya, darling. This sister is a holy Lady, she will be the protector of this world.”

Aliya turned towards Ethelyne with a look of admiration. “World protective brother? Means big brother has great power right?”

Ethelyne scratched her cheek with a look that pointed in the other direction. ‘And I want to hide my senses, after all. It's been a few months (perhaps) why can they still remember me? Goddamnit! I just want to live a normal life!!’

“Since you were born, your life has been tied to the universe, Master.”

Ethelyne froze silently with round eyes. ‘Laurie?!’

“Master... huaaaaaa, I miss you very much master, I. I'm so lonely when there's no you.”

“Don't scream so loud, stupid!”

“Huaaa! Vio scolded me again!”

“I told you to shut up!”

“Okay, stop hitting me, don't you feel sorry for me??”

“No tuh.”

“Basic gray wolf!”

“What?? Base--”

‘Already, already. Stop bickering, after all, we haven't talked together in a long time, Ethelyne's inner’ broke both of them.

“Humph, if not for Miss. I will definitely hit you again.”

“Basic Vio stupid!”

“Hng!”

Ethelyne smiled awkwardly. “Fyuuh, thankfully they stopped fighting. Otherwise, maybe my eardrums will break hearing their voices. By the way, it's been a long time since we last talked to each other, how about Laurie and Vio this time? Are they getting bigger? I can't wait to see both.’

“Sir Ethelyne.”

Ethelyne regained her senses from her daydream, she lowered her head and looked at Aliya who was pulling at the end of her sleeves slowly. “What's up?”

“A-anu..” Aliya plays her fingers while looking down. “If big brother doesn't mind, can big brother show me his strength?”

“Eh?”

“A-I didn't force it,” explained Aliya, she looked down. “I just want to know, how the holy power is..” great-grandchild.

Ethelyne smiled, she crouched down and equated her height with Aliya. “Alright, but not today huh. How about we meet tomorrow at ..”

“How about in the forest?” aliya asked when she saw Ethelyne was confused.

The girl nodded her head. “Sure, let's meet again tomorrow in the forest at noon.” He held onto both of Aliya's tiny hands. “This gift thank you from me to you.”

“How? Beautiful right? This butterfly will protect Liya when I'm not around, so. How about giving it a name?”

“Em!” aliya said excitedly, she closed her eyes while thinking of a good name. Aliya suddenly opened her eyes with a sparkling look. “Elf!”

“Wah, nice name. Alright, from now on, her name is Elf.”

The elves flew and surrounded Aliya.

Ethelyne who saw that smiled. “It looks like Elf really likes his new name.” He rubbed Aliya's head. “You are very smart to choose a name, Liya.”

“That's all because you spent holy water!”

“Hah?? It's not you who used it all for your bath!”

“Ugh, the. But you're wasting that holy water! After all water is effective for restoring souls like us!”

“So now you don't deny that you spent holy water?”

“Not me!”

Ethelyne covered her ears with pillows, Laurie and Vio had been fighting each other for almost half an hour, none of them would budge.

“Eum, everything-”

“This is your fault!”

“Cih, even though you made the holy water redundant, your own fault uses everything just for bathing.”

“I don't use everything!”

“Enough!!” ethelyne said resolutely and full of threats, she looked at the two annoyed. “Why don't you guys know the place once?! You're in the demon realm you know, in the demon realm! What do you think, if the other demons hear your words. They'll let you go?”

“Don't scare us, Master. We were contracted with you, no one would dare to disturb us as long as you name,” Laurie said proudly, Vio nodded confirming.

“Heh.” Ethelyne smiled as she clasped her chest. “Then I tell Kathel that you guys are a bitch. What will he do?”

Laurie and Vio are shocked to hear Ethelyne. “Wait, no need to ask for help Her Majesty the Queen right?”

“Well, how else? You guys don't want to obey me anymore.” Ethelyne started acting and put on a sad look. “When we haven't seen each other in a long time, but when I called you two. You guys are busy fighting and ignoring me. Oh~ is so sorry for me, why doesn't anyone care about me?” her tanyanya dramatized, She pretended to wipe her tears. “I'm-”

“Huaa, I'm sorry master~” Laurie said as she hugged Ethelyne and cried a mouthful. “When we have not met for a long time, but I was busy fighting with the old man. I'm sorry,” he continued sobbing.

Ethelyne secretly glanced at Vio when she heard the insinuations from Laurie that were either intentional or not, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Vio who was unmoved by Laurie's words.

“How are you doing, Vio?” ethelyne asked as she rubbed the head of Laurie who was still hugging her stomach.

“I'm fine, Miss. I'm glad you can come back safely.”

Ethelyne smiled broadly. “I'm also glad to see you again.” He looked down and looked at Laurie who was starting to fall asleep. “It looks like your relationship is not too good huh.”

“You think too much, Miss. Our relationship is fine, we only fight often because of trivial things, but it is nothing. You don't need to worry because I will try to protect it.”

“Thank you. By the way, how's Eadric doing? Did he ever call you when I fell asleep?”

“About it..” Vio glanced in the other direction and tried to avoid the curious looking gaze of Ethelyne.

“What's that about?”

“Actually, His Highness the prince threw away the five-colored flower. So, I do not know how he is doing and what has happened in the palace, forgive me.”

“It wasn't your fault.” Ethelyne smiled gently. ‘There's no way Eadric would throw the flower away for no reason, I'm sure someone else would pretend to be him and throw the flower away. But who was so close to him that he could enter his room at will? Ned's? No, it doesn't seem like it, anyway. We don't have any grudges, so who did it?’
