The Queen Of The Demon World
34. Aelene And Zachary??

“See, how beautiful the girl is.”

“True, not even anyone can match her beauty in this kingdom.”

“Who is it, the girl? She is very beautiful, could she be a fairy or a Goddess?”

Ethelyne ignored every word of praise that everyone saw, the girl just focused on looking at the road with a purpose to one place.

“Kakak Aelene, your sister is home!” ethelyne shouted as she opened the door wide, but the first thing she saw left her shocked. “Sister Aelene, you and ... Prince Ke7?!”

“R-rimuru, relax first. It's not like you imagined.”

“What, what do you guys do ..” Ethelyne shut her mouth in disbelief.

“Rimuru, you misunderstood. We didn't do anything,” said Aelene with a depressed face.

“Pfft.”

Aelene looked at Rimuru confusedly, only then did she realize the strange beautiful face in front of her. There was a look of admiration as well as envy in her heart seeing a girl who looked very beautiful, even as beautiful as a Goddess. It was as if all the goodness and blessings were used to form his weak-looking body.

“Hahaha, I'm sorry. Brother Aelene, I was just kidding. I wouldn't be mad even if you and the 7th prince had a relationship.” Ethelyne laughed out loud, her stomach cramped with laughter. Moreover, the look on Aelene's face that turned sour even though it looked slightly flushed.

“Rimuru ... no, who are you?”

Ethelyne stopped laughing, she looked at Aelene confusedly. “Did sister Aelene not recognize my voice? I'm Rimuru, dear sister of beloved sister Aelene.” Ethelyne stretched out her arms and was about to hug Aelene, but her steps came to a halt as the 7th prince. Zachary stood in front of him.

“Don't try hugging Aelene!”

“What is your business?” the look on Ethelyne's face turned flat, his hospitality suddenly disappearing and being replaced by an untouched cold face. In fact, one would feel immersed in her beautiful sea blue eye color.

“It turns out you already know Prince 7 huh? Oh yes, Your Majesty. Well, he is Rimuru. She is my friend and step-sister.”

“Evil! Even though we have no blood relation, at least don't call me step-sister,” annoyed Ethelyne while puffing her cheeks.

“Hahaha, sorry, sorry. By the way, where's your veil? Tumben once you don't use the veil.”

“Why? Sister envious of who with my beauty?” ethelyne asked with her eyebrows up and down, she shifted Zachary and hugged Aelene. “Not to worry, my dear brother. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, nothing can match your beauty and kindness.”

Aelene felt touched, she hugged Rimuru back. “I miss you so much, I was so worried when I found out you suddenly disappeared when the attack happened on the way home.”

“I'm fine, I'll never go again.” Ethelyne patted Aelene's soft back. ‘This is how the human heart, as weak as dry twigs and as soft as cotton. I just said a few words, he was moved. That way, I can use it to create a riot between the human world and the world of darkness.’

“Promise yes, you can't leave me again.”

“Iya.” Ethelyne smiled. ‘Mother, don't know how. I felt so sad thinking that mom would be sad to see me like this, but how else. For the sake of human destruction, I will do anything. I know, you must be very angry when you hear my decision. But I can't accept the royal family's act of killing mothers, mothers are holy girls who have even helped them. But what they did in return, they killed you.’ He sighed softly. ‘To make mom happy, I will still do my principles. I'm gonna unite humans and demons, so. I must be the emperor of this world, to make them all obey me. Then I have to make them fear me, so when the time comes. I will declare war between this kingdom and the demon kingdom.’

“What's up, Brother Aelene?”

“What do you think ..”

“Enough! You guys have been hugging for a long time!” Zachary suddenly pulls Ethelyne and makes his embrace and Aelene loose, the man stares at Ethelyne's anger as if he is a prey ready to be torn apart.

‘Is he jealous? So she really likes Aelene, huh. What a foolish human love.’ Ethelyne looked at Zachary irritatedly, she brushed the man's hand off the collar of her dress. “Do not mess!”

“You hugged my Aelene more than 20 minutes 56 seconds!”

‘Aeleneku? Hah, he had even branded Aelene as his.’ Ethelyne glanced at Aelene who looked very embarrassed, she sighed. “Then what's the problem? He is my brother, and I have every right to hold him as long as I want. Right, brother.” Ethelyne turned her gaze to Aelene.

The girl nodded clumsily.

“And I am tu-”

“Ahahaha, how about we celebrate Rimuru's return at the restaurant tonight?” asked Aelene who immediately interrupted Zachary's words, she stared full of signs of hostility.

Zachary sighed. “I'm busy, I have to go.” He turned and walked away.

‘He wanted to say that Aelene was his fiancee right?’ Ethelyne watched Zachary's movements completely disappear from his sight, he turned his gaze to Aelene with a look of confusion. “Tu what did Prince ke7 mean earlier?”

“O-oh that, t-nothing. The 7th prince was just dizzy lately, so he often said strange things. How about we both go to the restaurant tonight?”

“He'em! Let Rimuru treat Aelene's sister, Rimuru just got Rimuru's first salary.”

“Gaji ... first?”

Ethelyne nodded with an enthusiastic face. “True, eum. It cannot be called the first salary anyway, said the 6th prince. This is a wage because I helped him.”

“Help? Help from what?”

“Ah that, when we were about to go home. There's badit blocking the way, brother would have known. The driver of the carriage was the accomplice of the bandit, as the 6th prince and Master Duke fought, the driver took Rimuru hostage. Fortunately, at that time. Rimuru carried a spray of chili just in case, so Rimuru sprayed the evil man's eyes with chili peppers then attacked the bandits with a spray of chili as well.”

“Ahaha, really?” aelene asked who sounded doubtful. ‘But why didn't I hear the soldiers talking about it?’

Ethelyne nodded vigorously, her excessive enthusiasm making a smile expand on Aelene's face. He hugged Ethelyne tightly.

“Rimuru, you should never leave me. I don't want to live here alone, even if you're leaving. Please don't forget me, even though you won't acknowledge me as your brother anymore. At least, acknowledge me as your friend.”

“Aelene's sister,” Ethelyne muttered quietly, she hugged Aelene back. ‘I also don't want to leave you, while here. You're the only one who's been nice to me no matter what, Aelene. If I can, I don't want to hide anything from you. But I can't reveal my true identity, if it's discovered I'm a demon. I'm sure, you'll definitely stay away from me and no longer want to see me.’ Ethelyne clenched her hand. ‘I will always protect you, Aelene. Whatever happens, you are different from those lowly humans. You are like a light that illuminates my dark times.’
