The Queen Of The Demon World
15. Second Meeting

Ethelyne raised both of her hands. “Okay, I'll come with you. But don't hurt me.”

One of them nods, they then show the way while remaining alert and quite far from where Ethelyne is.

‘It's hard, I can't attack them using martial arts if the distance is so far. When it comes to magic, I can only magic light and darkness. It is impossible for me to use dark magic, but my light magic remains unstable even if I turn into a holy girl. That's a strange thing, because it seems. Mother never experienced it.’

Too engrossed in his daydreams, Ethelyne is unaware that they are entering a ruined castle in the middle of the forest. All around the castle was full of fire marks and dried up blood.

Ethelyne felt as if her head was buzzing, she held her head with her eyes closed. ‘That's weird, I again felt the same sensation. What really happened to me?’

“What's up? Let's fast walk!”

Ethelyne realized, he immediately followed one of them until he reached a room that still seemed intact despite the cracks on the wall.

“Your Majesty is waiting for you inside.”

‘Your Majesty? Didn't this man yesterday call the man Master, then why did his name suddenly change. Is something wrong? Better make sure it in advance.’ Ethelyne uses Dragon Eyesight to see what's going on inside, but damn it. He could not break through the wall in front of him, as if an extremely powerful shield was blocking his sight. “Are you not coming in?” the tananya is plain even though in the heart it is very vigilant.

“We are forbidden to enter this room, you go in and meet His Majesty. Do not make him offended or angry if you do not want to be affected by the consequences.” The black-clothed man walked away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With hesitation, Ethelyne knocked on the door. “Excuse me, did anyone call me here?”

Not long after, the door opened suddenly. Ethelyne stepped in with a worried face. ‘What's up here? Will there be bloodshed? Does he know my powers? Does he want to kill me? But, it seems like he is no ordinary person. Because, no one can hide anything from my Dragon Eyesight which has now reached the third level high. Unless he uses a spirit level shield, then of course my Dragon Eyesight will not work.’

“Did you help me?”

Ethelyne turned to the origin of the voice, not since when. The man was already sitting leisurely on a single sofa while enjoying tea.

“Yes, introduce. I'm Rimuru, I'm a herbalist. But even so, I am not a healer,” Ethelyne said in a friendly tone. ‘It is better to use a different identity than others, because if it is found out the same. I'll be in trouble.’

“Hm? I thought you were a witch, but it turns out I was wrong.”

“Ahaha, you are joking Sir. I don't even understand anything about magic.” Ethelyne laughed blandly to cover up her nervousness, she was indeed not a witch. But if it is discovered that his magic power is darkness, he could have been killed because he was considered an evil witch. Although it could not die with an ordinary sword, but still the pain would be the same. It might even be sicker than ordinary humans, but even so. Ethelyne has a high level of regeneration power, but it is precisely because of that as well. He could have been caught by the devil because of his wounds that recovered by themselves without any magic or potions.

“Eum, are you sure?” ethelyne asked to confirm, the man in front of her nodded confidently.

Ethelyne steadied her heart, she opened her cloak. The man was fascinated to see Ethelyne even though it was a considerable distance away.

Beautiful long blue hair, blue eyes as beautiful as the ocean. And his face was slightly flushed with embarrassment.

‘Huh, just for I can change my hair color quickly. At least, he won't know my true identity. So let me act as an innocent girl who is innocent and weak, not even killing ants can. Speaking of ants, I once killed a big one in a dark forest for eating my snacks. Fucking ant devil, he spent the snack I forgot to take without leaving a single bit! Does he not know, I got it hard-earned from the human world!’ Ethelyne's blood seemed to boil as he recalled the ant demon that took his favorite snack left in the middle of the dark forest, don't ask what it was because. Since childhood, Ethelyne always made the dark forest as an outlet for the anger that he always harbored in the palace. He always felt calm when he was in the dark forest, in contrast to the palace which was noisy every day because of the servants and bodyguards that kept passing by.

“Khem, as a thank you for helping me. I'll grant you one request.”

“Anything?” ask Ethelyne to make sure.

The man immediately felt a bad premonition, he nodded. “Y-ya, any.”

Ethelyne smiled happily, she put her hands together in front of her chest with a sweet smile. “Thank you for your kindness, I just want you to be able to visit the children on Libreville street. I'm sure they'll be very happy with your presence, ah yes. If you can, please bring them a gift. They're good kids.” Ethelyne looked down with a sad face. ‘The children there are very poor, I'm not sure I can help them alone. But if with the help of the man.’ He glanced at the man who was still sitting on the sofa. ‘I'm sure, he will definitely help them!’

“Only that?” asked the man looking dumbfounded. ‘I've met all kinds of people in this world. They are selfish and always do anything to get what they want, if someone else is offered something like this. They will certainly ask for things that benefit themselves, wealth, luxury, position, and others. They only attach more importance to personal interests than to the interests of the outside community.’ He smiled thinly. ‘Already expected, he's different.’

“Alright, if that's what you want. I'll visit them.”

The sweet smile on Ethelyne's face, different from the previous one. She was now completely smiling sincerely from the bottom of her heart, Ethelyne felt relief in her heart. He clenched his hands over his chest. ‘At least, I will not feel too guilty because of their families who died in the war and also ... finished off by the devil.’

“But with terms.”

“Whatever the conditions, as long as you want to meet them. I'll do whatever you ask!” ethelyne said firmly without a second thought.

“Then don't regret it. You-Rimuru, starting today. You will be a servant in my kingdom.”

”Hah?” Ethelyne looked confused. ‘What does that mean by the word 'My kingdom'?’
