The Queen Of The Demon World
31. Snowy Mountain

‘Finally, after walking all day. I have now reached the snowy mountain, now just look for the seven-colored flower.’ Ethelyne smiled faintly, her efforts for the whole day were not in vain. He climbed the mountain with the supplies he desperately sought yesterday. “Oh yes, Flowing. After finding the flower. Is it true that my demon soul will be destroyed?”

There was no reply from Flowing, Ethelyne stopped stepping. He suddenly remembered with the words Flowing a few days ago, Ethelyne smiled and walked back. ‘I'll feel lonely without you by my side.’

The sound of broken glass diverted Aelene's attention as she was delivering food to the sun palace, she who was curious peeked out from the door slit.

“Why can't you find him yet?! She is just a girl!”

“I'm sorry, Your Honor. We can't find any trace of her at all, Miss Rimuru seems to disappear without leaving any trace.”

“I'm sorry, Your Honor. I shouldn't have let my guard down to make Miss Rimuru disappear even under my watch,” Willa said regretfully.

Eadric sat down while massaging the base of his nose.

“Oh come on, he's just a waitress. There are still many girls who are prettier and more honorable than him,” said Zion who tried to persuade Eadric but failed, he actually got a fierce gaze from the friend. Zion who felt strange with her attitude glanced at Ned, but the man just shrugged his shoulders did not know.

“Huh, send all the soldiers to look for him. If no one finds it, you will all die!”

Zion shook her hand and hinted for the soldier who had moved to leave quickly. The soldier ran out.

Aelene who saw it immediately hid until the soldier completely lost his sight, he eavesdropped again because he could not see them.

“Why do you care so much about that girl? She's just a waitress, if you want a pretty girl. I can bring you as much as you want, you're pretty-”

“You better shut up now before I cut your tongue off!”

Zion was silent, she sighed. “You are, why is it getting cruel just because of a woman?”

“He is no ordinary waiter! Day ...”

“Dia what?”

Eadric turned his face away. “Forget it, just get out if you want to keep bothering me.”

“Cih, cold once.” Zion stood up and grabbed Ned's shoulder. “If something is wrong with Eadric, tell me yes,” whispered slowly so as not to be heard by Eadric.

Ned just nodded small. “Better you get out before being made into an impingement by His Majesty.”

“I know, I also don't want to linger here.” Zion walked away, but when she opened the door. She and Aelene were both shocked, both of them looking at each other a few seconds before Aelene stepped in and poured tea into Eadric's cup.

‘Rimuru, where are you really? Why did you suddenly disappear?’ inner Aelene was worried, because she was not too focused. The tea that was poured into the cup almost spilled if not immediately stopped by Ned.

Aelene. “I understand, I'm sorry. Your Majesty, Mr. Ned.” He turned and walked away. ‘Rimuru, hurry back.’

“Achu .. huh, I didn't expect the air to be this cold. It was fortunate that I found a village in the middle of a forest with good residents, so I could ask for a thick enough coat from them. Enough is also because I just left without any preparation.” Ethelyne put the basket she had hugged onto the snow, then sat down next to her and opened the basket. Ethelyne was looking for something to warm herself up to. But he didn't find anything. ‘Where did I put that thing? I don't even know how far I'm walking right now, it's all covered in snow so I'm having a hard time walking. But, for the sake of the flower. I'll get through it!’

Suddenly, the sound of a wolf's roar diverted Ethelyne's attention. He tried to find the origin of the sound but found nothing.

However, whether it is coincidence or not. A five-colored flower appeared before him, right in front of a cliff.

Ethelyne who saw it immediately sparkled, he stood up and walked towards the flowers while continuing to survive the blizzard until finally. Ethelyne managed to reach the flower, but had just touched it.

His head suddenly felt dizzy, his gaze as if circling and turning dark. Ethelyne fell right in front of the flower and was unconscious, strangely enough. The five-colored flower evaporated and disappeared.

~~~♥~~~

I once imagined my life as in a fairy tale read by my mother, where the main character always gets a good ending after going through many things. Then, am I also able to get a good ending from my life? I always try not to cause war between humans and demons, so why do humans come to the human world and want to finish off demons? I know, humans and demons will not get along at any time. But at least, don't kill each other. I was scared, very scared when I remembered the incident where I almost died by the demon wolves. My heart almost fell out at the time, I think. I can make humans and demons unite, but it seems. It was a very difficult job, no. But impossible.

Ethelyne opened her eyes, she woke up wryly and stared in a daze ‘Where am I?’ His body suddenly became small like a 3-year-old baby.

“Ethel, why are you here baby?”

Ethelyne turned to the origin of the voice, a beautiful woman with blue eyes, long blonde hair and a beautiful gentle smile. He's holding little Ethelyne.

“Cup, cup. Did you run away from Prince Ryan again? Ethel became very naughty huh, mother until trouble looking for you,” said the woman as she showered Ethelyne's cheeks with a kiss.

Unknowingly, tears flowed from Ethelyne's cheeks. “I-bu?”

“Eh, Ethel. Why are you crying, baby? Are you hurt, where? Does anyone hurt?” ask the woman to panic. “Where is sick? Here mom heal.”

Tears were pouring down from Ethelyne's cheeks, she hugged the woman while holding back a sobbing.

“Cup, cup. Stop crying, later I will ask Dad to send you all the things you want.” The woman hugged Ethelyne affectionately.

“Mother .. Ethel, dear Ethel, mother.”

“Iya, yes. I love Ethel a lot too, now. We return to the palace, ok.”

Ethelyne nodded, she smiled sweetly sincerely after a long time. ‘Yes, if this is a dream. Please don't wake me up, I don't care even if I die later. As long as I'm with mom, it's more than enough.’
