The Queen Of The Demon World
19. Old Memory
“I understand, Your Grace. I'll convey your greeting.”
Ethelyne smiled sweetly. “Good, if nothing else. You can go, remember to tell him yes. I don't want him to die without knowing anything.
“Good!”
‘*Master, you are evil once! Why did you leave me in the middle of the forest alone*??’
Ethelyne covered her ears. “That voice, ah. You're Ethelyne's spirit animal, aren't you? What form? Wolf, tiger, rabbit, or snail?”
‘*None! Why is Master suddenly acting so strange anyway*??’
“Heh.” Ethelyne smiled. “You still haven't noticed it yet?”
‘*Don't-don't, you're not my master! Where is the master?! Why are you in his body*!!’
“Hahaha, relax. No need to be so angry, I'm sure you must know me. Curse every thousand years ..”
‘*Don't .. You're a crazy demon right!! How can you be in my master's body?! Restore Masterku*!!’
“Indeed you who dare to rule me, mad dog.”
‘*Not polite!! I'm a dragon, not a dog*!’
“Really?” Ethelyne's Golden Eyes were as sparkling. “It just so happens, I'm hungry right now. What if you go out and be my meal?”
‘*Huh, never hope! You'll never have me*!!’
“Uh, what a pity.” Ethelyne put on a sad face. “Padah, my magic energy is reduced a lot because that damned girl summoned the Spirit of Time in the human world. So annoying! Her own magic energy is not that much, if not for me. He must have been dead a long time!”
‘*Shut up! Shut the fuck up! I won't let you insult master*!’
“Then fight me, appear before me and finish me off if you can.” Ethelyne smiled obliquely, there was no reply whatsoever from Flowing.
‘*You, I won't let you take over master*!’
A blinding light suddenly emerges from Ethelyne's body, the girl closes her eyes but inexplicably. That dazzling light remained through his eyes, the atmosphere suddenly turning dark. Ethelyne stared around with a dazed look, she was suddenly in a dark room that was out of nowhere with tattered clothes.
‘What happened? Why am I suddenly here? Shouldn't I be in the palace and waiting for news from the soldier?’
“You evil creature! I will definitely get rid of you!”
Ethelyne looked back, right at the origin of the sound. A little boy pushed a 4-year-old girl roughly.
The dark room Ethelyne occupied suddenly turned into a sea of beautiful flowers.
“A-what's my fault? Why does my sister hate me so much?” ask the little girl who really looks like 5-year-old Ethelyne.
‘What is this? Is this Ethelyne's childhood memory, but why did the dragon show me this memory? Does he think I'm gonna be devastated to see Ethelyne treated like that?’ Ethelyne remained silent on the spot, holding her chest and looking at the two children.
“Ethel doesn't know anything, why does Brother Zen blame Ethel? Ethel also didn't want this to happen,” said the girl crying a mouthful.
“Stop pretending to be plain! You and your fucking mom are the same! You've always disrupted our family life, if only your mother hadn't gotten into your father's and mother's lives. They must still love each other and live until now!!”
Suddenly, the boy was slapped by a maid-clothed girl. The girl's eyes reddened holding back the cry. “Your Majesty! You shouldn't treat Her Highness the Princess like this!!” Angry the girl.
“Meli go, Ethel is fine. Ethel doesn't want Meli to get hurt for protecting Ethel!”
“Your Highness, you can't turn on Her Highness the Princess! In any case, His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen will-”
“Shut!!” Zen suddenly interrupted Meli's words, he stood up with a face full of anger and teary eyes. “You think a lowly servant like you can command me at will?!”
“Your Majesty, I'm just-”
“This is not one of Meli!” Little Ethelyne stood in front of Meli as she spread out her hands to protect the girl. “Kak Zen must not hurt Meli! Meli is the most precious person in Ethel's life!”
Zen who was standing quite far away from Ethelyne suddenly appeared behind Meli and thrust out with a dagger that came out of nowhere.
The shocked Ethelyne was still stiffly silent as he looked at Meli who had fallen to the ground unconscious, without Ethelyne noticing. Tears ran down her cheeks, she sat on the ground with her eyes shaking.
“Now you know how I felt when mom and dad were killed.” Zen heartlessly pulled out the dagger that was on Meli's back and walked away. “Do not think that this is over, I will definitely finish you for mom and dad.”
More and more tears flowed down Ethelyne's cheeks, her moving hand raised and touching Meli's evaporating corpse. Ethelyne shook her head quickly, she hugged Meli while crying as she pleased. “Huaa!! You can't leave me! You can't get away from me, Meli! Wake up, don't go. You can't disappear!!”
Suddenly, a thick, hand-shaped black fog appeared behind Ethelyne's back. The black fog covered half of Meli's corpse which had evaporated.
Suddenly, the black fog entered Meli's body and regenerated everything that evaporated. Right after, Ethelyne fell asleep and Meli opened her eyes.
“Your Highness, why are you here?” meli asked as she watched Ethelyne who was asleep, she lifted the little girl into her arms. ‘It looks like His Majesty is having nightmares, even his eyes to the point of swelling from crying.’ Meli patted Ethelyne's back gently. “Sleep quietly, Your Highness.”
Suddenly, the room changed. With an atmosphere that was almost similar to Ethelyne, a little girl in shabby clothes cried while hugging the corpse of a middle-aged woman.
Ethelyne who saw that frowned. ‘This thought, isn't this my memory?’
“I can bring your mother back to life, but on one condition.”
The little girl looked up and looked at a foreign man wearing a robe with a skull brooch on his chest, without a second thought. The girl nodded. “I'll do anything, please. Please turn mom back on!”
“Ok, starting today. You'll be the container, Be a useful tool. Because otherwise, I could kill your mother with the core of her soul that I have.”
After the mysterious man's remark, the room turned pitch-black again. Ethelyne can't see anything anymore or digest anything that's going on. ‘Any, isn't that my memory. Almost similar to Ethelyne?’
