The Queen Of The Demon World
134. Dream. or reality??

Ryu released Rio's hair he was holding onto and made Rio's head fall to the floor and roll, leaving a lot of blood on the floor.

Along with that, his body fell to the floor and began to disappear.

Solara still could not believe what she saw, her body stiffened and started to disappear bit by bit just like Rio.

Ryu glanced at Solara, he was ruffled around the waist. “So you did a blood deal with Rio huh? Huh, what a pity. Even if you don't make a blood covenant at the expense of your soul, you won't die even if I kill Rio. It's a pity that you will also disappear together with him, too, though I also want to have a loyal dog.”

“You..” Solara gritting her teeth held in anger, her veins on her face were faintly visible. Solara was eager to smash the head of the girl in front of him, however. His slowly shattered body could do nothing. “Basic of contemptible creatures!! I hope you die by begging-”

Before Solara finished her words, she had already disappeared with Rio.

Ryu stared at the dust residue from Rio's corpse. He suddenly spewed blood, Ryu's breath became stingy. ‘My limit just got here huh?? Had I not directly finished him off, I would have exhausted myself first, let alone my strength had not adapted perfectly. Damnit!’ Ryu stood up straight and licked the blood on his lips, he stared flatly. “You are very sorry, Rio. Since long ago, you have always been a simple and trusting child. You are a demon, all the devil needs is strength, not compassion. Rio, I wonder why you have been able to survive until now with this kind of attitude.” Ryu smiled faintly. “You are indeed strong,” mutters honestly. “I will not be as strong as you, you stick with an attitude that is always honest and trusts anyone. I can't be like you, maybe that's why, I chose another path, becoming a Demon God by killing those around me. I made you a tool to finish off Father, I finished off Mother. Now, there's no more family in this world, like this. I can definitely get a stronger power, right? The power I can use, so that others don't trample on me anymore. So that I. can protect, the person I love.”.

“You want? You can have it if you want~”

Ryu closed his eyes with his hands. ‘Damn it!’ He looked up and looked up at the ceiling. “Why do I keep remembering your sweet smile?..”

“Did you see Ethelyne?”

“No.”

“Excuse me did you see Ethelyne? She is very similar to me and her eye color is blue.”

“Sorry I didn't see.”

Aliya who was buying some items turned to the origin of the voice, she looked at Kathelyne who looked restless and anxious.

“Why is he there?”

“I don't know, Princess. But it looks like she's looking for Miss Ethelyne.”

“Sister Ethelyne?? Didn't Ethelyne's sister meet him?” Aliya approached. “Sister, sister looking for brother Ethelyne?”

Kathelyne nodded her head, she kept biting her nails fretting.

“Not Brother Ethelyne went to see Brother?”

“Meet me?” confused Kathelyne. “I haven't seen Ethelyne since morning, have you seen her?”

Aliya nodded her head. “When I came here, I accidentally met Brother Ethelyne. He seemed to be in a hurry and when I asked, he said he wanted to see his sister. I thought the sister in question was Brother.”

“Adik??” muttered Kathelyne with a crinkled forehead. ‘Since when did Ethel have a sister?? She hasn't seen him since this morning either, where are you??’

“Ethelyne must be fed up with you two and looking for a new sister.”

“Hey, hey, relax. It was just my saying, maybe he was looking for the wind alone. Or.” Zion glanced at Kathelyne who was also looking at her with a frown.

Kathelyne's eyes suddenly rounded. “That damn boy! If Ethel is really there, I will definitely finish him off!” he grunts and turns into smoke.

“Huh, obsessed once.” Zion turned her gaze towards Aliya who was also looking at her sharply despite looking cute, she patted Aliya on the head. “Do not go all the way from the palace,” he said as he walked away with a waved hand.

“Not your business! Zion ugly!!”

‘His words were very rude,’ Inner Zion as she glanced at Aliya who walked away, she looked back straight ahead with a flat look. ‘May you be well, Ethelyne. I hope you can stay alive and unite with Eadric later.’

“Ethelyne.”

“Ethelyne..”

“Ethelyne..!”

Ethelyne suddenly opened her eyes, she glanced back and forth with a confused look. ‘Who called me?’

“Ethelyne.”

“Ethelyne.”

‘Wait, this sound.’ Ethelyne put her hand in front of her ear. ‘The sound that resonates in my ear, what happened? Where am I? Why am I in a dark room? Am I locked up? Am I still in the kingdom? Or was I taken somewhere??’

“Ethel~yne..”

Ethelyne froze, that familiar voice instantly appearing behind her. He looked over with reddened eyes holding back tears. ”I-mom.”

Earlene, the woman who looked similar to Ethelyne was smiling gently and stretching out both hands.

“I-mom..? This, this is really mom right??” Ethelyne tried to hold back her tears, she ran over and hugged Earlene. “Huaa, I miss you so much. I, I thought I wouldn't be able to see mom again. Why, why did mom leave me?? Why don't you love me at all?!”

Earlene hugged Ethelyne back, gently wiping the Princess' mane. “Mother loves you, dear~ mother did not mean to leave you, but mother's duty to protect human made mother do this.”

”It was just a task! Why did you sacrifice your life for that unimportant task!” ethelyne protested without taking off her arms.

However, Earlene pushes Ethelyne's body slowly and makes the girl forced to take off her embrace. He stared at the puzzled Earlene who seemed to be looking at him seriously with a flat look. “Ethelyne, maybe for you. It's just a normal job, but for mom. This is a very meaningful task.”

“Why don't you let those humans die? They are evil, they do anything for their own selfishness, ” Ethelyne said with tears in her eyes.

“Sayang~” call Earlene soft, she wiped Ethelyne's tears. “Not all humans are evil,” he said with full gentleness. “Every human being has a different attitude. We cannot determine how others behave. But we can protect good people with the power we have... Do you know what? Mother used to be an orphan who was dumped on the streets, Mother lived with great difficulty, if the mother was hungry, the mother could only find leftover food, if the mother was thirsty, you can only drink dirty water. But ever since I met Mr. Murry, my life has changed. Mr. Murry gave the mother proper shelter, food and water. I also have a lot of friends, I am very happy. Compared to the life of the old mother, the mother likes life now. Sacrificing a life for a mother is in return for Mr. Murry and Mr. William, the mother is not sad for sacrificing the life of the mother for the sake of people. Mother is very happy, seeing others smile and reunite with their family is my own happiness. So, Ethelyne, you want to continue with mom's efforts. You want to help weak people?” Earlene clasped Ethelyne's hands tightly, her tears starting to flow. “Mom doesn't want to see you die like this, Ethelyne. Please, try, hold on and stay alive. At least, if not for my mother. Do it for the people you care about. Mother. beg~”
