The Queen Of The Demon World
39. Prince, Duke, and Knights

Ethelyne stared around in confusion, stopping in the midst of people passing by and looking very carefree.

“Excuse me, what happened?” ethelyne asked one of the passersby.

“Ah, Miss does not know yet. The mercy of the Gods has been passed down, the last holy maiden has been chosen and now. The palace and empire were looking for the existence of that holy girl.” The look on the face of the people turned soft. “Since Lady Earlene's sacrifice to humans, there has never been any news of her successor's holy maiden after all this time. And finally, today. The holy temple told him a very happy news, though he said. She is the last holy girl to appear in the world after Lady Earlene.”

“B-so yeah? Thanks for the information.” Ethelyne hastened her steps towards the palace.

‘Master, isn't that holy girl you?’

‘Indeed, but why did the holy temple suddenly circulate news about the holy maiden? After all, why should it be the last holy girl. Bah, everything is really very troublesome. Looks like we shouldn't look flashy in the last few days.’

‘You are right, Master. I'll go back to the time space and look for an understanding book about the holy girls, so I'm sorry.’

Ethelyne paused for a moment while adjusting her breath, she glanced at the surrounding that looked even quieter than the middle of the city. Ethelyne walked into the dark deserted passageway and raised her right hand, she closed her eyes. The moment Ethelyne opened her eyes again, the color of her left eye turned red. Suddenly, a white sword appeared that gave off a warm and soothing light. The palaces are in the form of a red lotus mixed with blue.

Ethelyne held the handle of the sword with a faint smile. ‘Already expected, my holy magic can only be stable if I use it with dark magic simultaneously. Although it drains magic quickly, but in this way. I can control my magic, huh. I understand now, but why can't mother bring out the holy sword huh? When fighting those demons and humans, he used magic instead of swords.’ He suddenly thought of something, Ethelyne closed her eyes and tried to channel magic energy into the holy sword in her hand. The sword seemed increasingly radiant, all of a sudden. Appearing a lotus engraving on the sword, Ethelyne opened his eyes and tried to swing the sword. And as a result, the magic energy released by the sword even cut 13 buildings.

Ethelyne stared in amazement, but upon hearing the approaching sound of footsteps. He instantly removed his sword and disappeared.

“Here! I think the light came from this hallway!”

“But there is no one here.”

“It's true, but did you see that light?? It was the same light as when Lady Earlene finished off the demons with her holy magic.”

“So you mean, that light came from the last holy girl we were looking for?”

“It seems so, so surely Lady is in our city now. I'm sure, we can find it quickly!”

“Come, we find Lady!”

“What? So you mean, that holy girl is in Starlaxy?” city ask Ned to make sure.

The soldier who was reporting nodded. “True, Sir. We get news from the people who had seen the dazzling light of the power of Lady.”

“That's great!” Zachary smiles. “Thus, we can narrow the search space. Focus the soldiers to search for it throughout Starlaxy city!”

“Good, Your Highness.” The soldier then walked away.

Zion who was sitting casually beside Ned glanced at the three men. “What do you think the last holy girl was so great?”

“You mean?”

“Yes, I mean. The long-dead Lady Earlene used magic to finish off demons right, but from today's report. There is no trace of magic from the building that was cut, even it is clear that the building was cut like tofu.”

“It could be, but it is. The one who could use the holy sword in the past was only the first holy maiden, her name ..”

Eadric stared at Zion flatly. “Maria Virgian.”

“Ah, correct! Maria Virgian, and come to think of it. All those holy girls bear the title of Virgian, right? Why so, when remembered. Lady Earlene has nothing to do with Lady Maria.”

“No idea, why don't you read in the history books? Maybe someone will talk about it.” Zachary shrugged his shoulders indifferently. “Dan also ... why is the waiter named Rimuru not back yet?! Don't you know, Aeli didn't want to talk and meet me because the girl disappeared!” murkaniah.

“Do not know, anyways. Why did you let Miss Aelene go undercover? If Lord Duke Alys knew about this, the Duke would definitely be furious and at worst. She'll break off your engagement to Miss Aelene.”

“Oh come on, I don't want him disguised as a waiter either. But he who forced and threatened to dump me, so inevitably. I had to let him be a waiter.” Zachary propped up his chin. “I was confused by the way Aeli thought, she is the daughter of Duke and his favorite child. Master Duke also did not lack anything, then why would he choose to be a servant instead of enjoying the life of the noble Miss?”

“Listen yes, Aelene is different from other girls. He might just want to know how the servants who were always bullied felt, and if he was disguised in his own residence. That is impossible, because the servants will definitely know his disguise immediately,” Zion replied as she ate a snack at the table.

Zachary let out a frustrated sigh, he always tried to persuade Aelene to return to the Duke's residence immediately but the results remained the same. Aelene remained insistent on wanting to stay in the palace as a servant. “I can't understand his way of thinking that.”

“Why are you talking about Miss Aelene? We must find the holy maiden before any other kingdom or empire, let alone. Within a week, the demon invasion was rampant and made the village around the portal very miserable. Despite sending soldiers and knights there, they could not stop the invasion. Moreover, the demons that can regenerate quickly and make the soldiers and Knights tribulation finish them off.” Ned turned his head towards the dreamy looking Eadric. “Your Majesty, we must send the fire witch to the portal. Because if not, then the people will be more miserable.”

Eadric glanced at Ned, he sighed. “Send Marissa to there.”

“What?” ask them surprised.

“What's wrong?”

“Not so anyway, it's just. Marissa is a strong knight ranked third with her flagship fire magic, is not it excessive to send her there?”

“The invasions of the demons are getting rampant there, if we don't send high-level Knights. Then the people around the portal won't be able to save him, and Ned. Is the evacuation of the residents completed?”

“It looks like the evacuation is still going, Your Honor. If the evacuation goes well, then the residents will finish moving tonight.”
