The Queen Of The Demon World
25. Melies

“You can take whatever waitress you want, but she. Except,” says Eadric in a flat tone.

“Good offer, but very unfortunate. I just want him.” Zachary glanced at Ethelyne standing behind Eadric..

‘What the fuck?? I just want to live a normal life as a servant! Why did this stupid thing happen to me?!’ ethelyne's inner cry disrupts the rehabilitation of Flowing.

“Can't! He is a waiter in my palace!”

“Why can't I? If I asked her from mom, she would definitely give it.”

Ethelyne took a deep breath. “Your Highness, I'm sorry.” He was about to walk out but was detained by Eadric.

“How about your wound?”

“I'm fine, Your Grace.”

“Heh, so it was the 6th brother that made Rimuru hurt.”

“That's none of your business!” Eadric stared at Zachary fiercely, he pulled Ethelyne's hand and walked out.

“Come next time, Rimuru,” said Zachary with a sweet smile and a wave of hands.

“Other times, never see Zac again,” murmured Eadric.

“Your Majesty, welcome back. Do you want to see the prisoners?” asked Loreen while bowing respectfully.

“No need to be as formal as that, I want to go to the dark forest. Where are Brother Ryan and Brother Zen?”

Loreen looked doubtful. “Your Highness Prince Ryan is in his study, while His Highness Prince Zen is. She, she's in her room.”

Ethelyne was just ooh, she was staring at the hallway in front of her. “How ... Meli state?”

“According to your previous plan, Meli is now recovering. But despite being a demon, Meli never prey on anyone and makes her regeneration very slow.”

“So, huh? Then has his neck been reconnected?” ethelyne asked as she walked down the royal hallway to a library, she walked in and went straight to a shelf of thick and old-fashioned books.

“Yes, Your Grace. But the marks on Meli's neck can't be removed. If, His Highness the Prince accidentally found out Meli wasn't dead. What will you do, Your Majesty?” asked Loreen hesitantly, the question had filled her mind since saving Meli who was about to be banished to the brink of death.

“Then I will finish him.” Ethelyne took one thick book and opened it, she read a book containing dark magic spells in the demon kingdom.

“But ..”

“No need to worry about anything.” Ethelyne turned the pages of the book and went back to reading. “I will protect those who are loyal to me, including you and Meli. Remember one thing, Loreen. I'm no longer the weak Ethelyne, I won't let you guys get hurt.”

When hesitant Loreen begins to believe Ethelyne's words, she smiles. “I've always trusted you, Your Majesty. Me and Meli will always be loyal to you.”

Ethelyne was motionless, she glanced at Loreen. “Do you and Meli want to come with me to the human world?”

“What?”

~~~♥~~~

“How are you, Meli? Sorry I just got to visit you today.” Ethelyne clasped Meli's hand lying on top of the brown magic circle while closing her eyes, with long scratches on her neck and wrists.

“I'm sorry, if I could protect you.” Tears flowed down Ethelyne's cheeks, her chest tightened to see the person she loved lying helplessly.

“I told you, this is not a mistake. You, I'm very happy. Because can see you today.”

Ethelyne looked at Meli with a glare, she touched a long scratch on Meli's neck. “It must have hurt a lot, yes, when you were beheaded. Sorry, I won't let you get hurt again.”

Ethelyne's finger that touched the scratch marks was seen giving off a dark light. The scar on Meli's neck slowly healed.

“Yang Mulia ..”

“Your Highness, what are you doing??” loreen asked frantically, how could Ethelyne use light healing magic to Meli who was clearly a demon. However, the panic on Loreen's face turned puzzled as she saw Meli's wounds heal. “What, what is going on?” surprised muttering.

Laurie suddenly appears behind Ethelyne and touches his shoulder. “What are you doing, little girl? You want to die??”

Ethelyne remained silent and focused on healing Meli's wounds. “Look, the healing magic that should help humans is very stable when I use it on the devil. And strangely enough, I can use it without any magic energy at all.”

“Eh, really??” Laurie stared at Meli's neck whose scar had been removed, besides. The scar on Meli's wrist also disappeared. “Heum, why is that so? When you use it on humans, you almost die of instability and lose 50 years of your life. But when you use it on the devil, it stabilizes. Not even using magic energy at all, it was strange. I I've never seen this incident before, nor was it recorded in the book I had. Is it possible, because you are a demon? But why your holy healing power saved the devil instead, is so different from Madam. When he used his healing magic on the demon, the demon was precisely as if it was burning fire and disappeared.” He held his chin with a raging mind.

“Your Majesty, this.” Meli is about to wake up but is soon stopped by Ethelyne and Loreen.

“Although I use healing magic, but it is holy magic and not suitable for demons. So you rest first, after that. I will take you two from this kingdom to the human world.”

“Really! You're still weak ... eh?? Your Majesty, you really want to take us to the human world??” loreen asked in surprise, she thought Ethelyne's words a while ago were just a joke. But who would have thought it turned out that he really wanted to bring both of them.

“Yes, I've thought about it many times. But even so, I can't make you immune to sunlight. So inevitably, you two can only be indoors until nightfall.”

Meli and Loreen stared at each other, Loreen immediately kowtowed while Meli got up and bowed. “Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. We will definitely follow your every remark.”

“Good, Meli. You can rest again and Loreen, take me to the prisoners.” Ethelyne turned around and walked away, Loreen and Laurie soon caught up with him.

“Master, will you really visit the prisoners?” laurie asked in a whisper, she glanced at Loreen and made sure that she did not hear her and Ethelyne's conversation.

“Ya, I want to make sure something.”

“Alright, but please be careful. Master, I'm not sure. But it seems, blood can trigger the awakening of your demon soul.”

“Really? Then why don't I feel anything when I get hurt?”

“That's because you're the one who got hurt, if you see someone else's blood. I'm not sure if the seal cracks won't add up, you have to remember. Every time you see blood, you will trigger the desire of the demon soul to eat it. You know, the devil can't resist lust. Especially when looking at humans.”

“I'll remember.”
