The Queen Of The Demon World
20. Aelene In Danger?!

“Truely, it looks like you already remember everything.” Laurie suddenly appears before Ethelyne, certainly with the form of an 8-year-old child.

“Your voice, are you the dragon?”

“You know that? Then I don't have to hide it anymore, my name is Laurie. I am the golden dragon, the spirit animal of Ethelyne. I showed both memories just to make you remember, if the one who helped your mother at that time was the previous king in the demon kingdom.”

“What?? How is it possible!”!

Laurie sighed, it seemed like it took more effort and energy to make this girl in front of her understand. He sighed. “Do you forget, the thick black fog that covered your mother back then. Isn't it similar to the thick fog that revives Meli?”

‘If you remember, it seems like what this dragon said is true.’

“Do you also know, that actually. That Meli was a human, that was why she could not regenerate despite being stabbed by Zen. But if you think about it, Zen did not hit his vital point at all. But Meli remains dead.”

“Then, then why did Meli's body evaporate? Shouldn't humans not be able to do that!” Ethelyne looked at Laurie with a face full of astonishment. ‘True, since the beginning. If Meli was indeed a human, she should not have yawned like a demon. But if he was truly a demon, he couldn't possibly die so easily. Moreover, the one who killed him was only an 8-year-old.’

“Do you know about the contract agreement between Raja and Meli?”

Ethelyne shook her head, she knew nothing at all. Even he didn't get the memories of Ethelyne's original soul.

“On the written agreement, Meli will sacrifice half her blood in return. And in return, he was given demon blood.”

“What?? Why is the king so cruel? Giving demon blood to a human, isn't that tantamount to killing him indirectly!”

“True.” Laurie smiled thinly. “But Meli managed to survive, but a year later. The power of the demon blood was unstable and it became a poison that spread through his body slowly, you asked why Meli could die so easily. It was all because the dagger was covered in something that made the poison in Meli's body flow like water and die, and for why her body evaporated. It was because of the demon blood that had filled his body but had not managed to make him a full demon, and miraculous. After the black fog covered the part that had evaporated, the demon blood in Meli's body seemed to be able to fuse with her human blood and make her a full-fledged demon. That's why his body regenerated and he came back alive.”

Ethelyne held her chin while nodding in understanding. “It turns out so, but why are you showing me this memory?”

“That's for you .. so that you, eum. Previously, what did I tell you when you were in the demon kingdom?”

Ethelyne shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “No idea, I forgot too. It's because you keep raving to the point that I don't remember anything.”

“Huaa!! Just be right! I spent half my energy just taking you to this dimension and showing those memories, but it seems like everything is in vain now!”

“If nothing else I go yes!” Ethelyne walked away while waving her hand.

“Woi! The way out is not there!!”

‘Ugh, my head feels dizzy. Did I accidentally fall asleep here?’ Ethelyne looked around, she looked out the window and found it was getting dark.

“Rimuru, are you inside?”

The sound of knocking on the door was heard along with the voice of a man, Ethelyne stood up and walked towards the door while changing her hair color to blue. He took a deep breath and threw it away and opened the door, but a second later. Ethelyne again closed the door with a surprised expression. ‘Gosh! I forgot to wear a veil! Did anyone see my appearance? Does he recognize me?’ Ethelyne's facial expression turned flat. ‘If so, can only kill him to eliminate the witness.

“Rimuru, what are you doing? Quickly get out, Aelene is in danger.”

Hearing Aelene's words, Ethelyne's facial expression turned cold. He immediately picked up the veil on the table and put it on, Ethelyne opened the door with a cold look. “What happened to him?”

“Aelene, she. He's locked up in a castaway palace, it seems. Lady Laura wants to do something to him!” said the man with a breath of breath.

“Show the way.”

“Follow me.” The man walked first followed by Ethelyne from behind.

From now on, the girl continued to pay attention to the movements of the man in front of her who seemed suspicious. Ethelyne secretly picked up just any rock on the street and hid it up her sleeve.

“Aelene is inside, you can go in and take her out.”

“Why don't you come in and help me?”

“Anu, i-it. I have other business, I-I have to go now.” The man just ran away.

Ethelyne sighed. ‘I think he's planning something, do I need to go in or not huh? If I don't go in and Aelene is really inside, how is it? But if I go in, then I'll be a walnut in a cage.’ He sighed, Ethelyne walked in and opened the door. The sky that started to darken made the atmosphere in the palace wasted a little creepy and dark. ‘Dragon Eyesight's. I don't see, ah. It's Arlene!’ He walked over to Aelene and examined the girl, thankfully Aelene was just unconscious due to the influence of drugs.

As she was about to pick up Aelene, Ethelyne heard the sound of the door closing. As he looked back, a few sneaks stood in front of him. From their uniforms, Ethelyne can confirm if they are warriors from the Palace.

“What do you want to do?” ethelyne asked as she gently placed Aelene down.

“What is she the girl in question?”

“No idea, it looks like she's the girl.”

“Khem, are you Rimuru? You've been guilty of harassing our Master, that's why we're going to teach you a lesson.”

“Whose master are you? What is the Prince of this kingdom?”

“Ya, right.”

“Sstth! You shouldn't have told him about this!” whisper one of them.

‘I can hear you, ok.’ Ethelyne stared flat at them, either they were stupid or he was too smart. “If nothing else, you guys don't get in the way.”

“Huh, arrogant girl! We will teach you a valuable lesson today!”

Suddenly, Aelene spewed out a large amount of blood. Ethelyne was silent in surprise. He looked at Aelene who looked extremely tormented, feeling that something was amiss. Ethelyne immediately re-examined Aelene's pulse and sure enough. The girl was poisoned, her venom so slow to work that Ethelyne could not detect it quickly.

“Aelene, why are you ..”

“Hahaha, the poison started working huh? After the girl's death, we'll have a little fun with you before killing you.”

Ethelyne's hands clenched. “Do you guys have the antidote?”
