The Queen Of The Demon World
43. Mika, Spirit of Light

“Then I should how to stop them?”

“Hem, actually this is quite difficult. You must meet the legendary dragon in the middle of the forest of the fairies, but even so. No one ever knew where the exact existence was, even. No one knows what the legendary dragon looks like except Maria.”

“What will the crisis end if I meet the legendary dragon?”

“Maybe not completely, but Murry can destroy the dark energy within every demon and also ... she can help you to become a holy girl completely.”

“I don't want to be a holy girl or a demon, Mika. I just want to meet mom.”

Mika looked at Ethelyne with pity. “If you want that, then that means. You're ready to die, but you know. No one can kill a demon except a holy girl, and the holy girl in front of me is the last holy girl and cannot kill herself.”

Ethelyne jostled in frustration. “Then I'll look for Murry's dragon, but before that. I will finish all my work in this world.” He stood up and made Mika stand up. “Thank you for taking care of my mother's last memories, the Spirit of Light. I'll remember your services.” Ethelyne walked away, as she opened the door. His gaze was immediately directed at Laurie and Vio who were arguing for no reason. “Let's go back,” he said while wearing the bracelet.

“Ah, masters. You've come. I am very bored and angry here, so let's quickly go back to the palace and eat a snack.” Laurie holds Ethelyne's right hand while mocking Vio.

“Ya, whatever. Let's go back, and also .. Aren't you two punished for not showing up for a week! Why are you even accompanying me here?”

“Hahaha, you already remember yes,” Laurie laughed insipidly, she and Vio agreed to use magic to erase a bit of Ethelyne's memory. But who would have thought, the magic can only last for 7 hours. Both of them used up all their energy.

“Back now and don't meet me before the penalty period is over.”

“Eh, but-”

“Back!!”

Inside the house, Mika sat pensively. His mind is now raging. ‘How can I help you, Ethelyne? Dark magic, Demon power, and plus holy magic. Everything goes against each other, if left for too long. Your energy could just get out of control and kill you.’ He was frustrated. “Even this Murry does not know how to help you, except to sacrifice the core of your soul. There is no other way to eliminate the crisis, but what about my promise to Earlene? If I kill his daughter and renege on a promise, will he hate me too?” Mika shuffled her hair in frustration. “Akh! I really can't take care of this! Fucking Murry shit, he could have asked me to disguise as him and he himself transformed and went into the human world and had fun! Damn, damn, damn. His piled up work really stresses me out!”

“Welcome back, Your Grace. Do you want breakfast first?” asked Meli while bowing respectfully.

“Do not want, just prepare hot water for me. I'll take a shower before I go to Arandelle city with the prisoners.”

“Eh, do you want to go to the dark forest? But what to bring prisoners?”

Ethelyne sat down and picked up the thick book on her desk. “I'll let them choose,” the murmur is slow.

“Your Majesty?”

“Nothing, just prepare hot water for me to shower. And Meli, you stay here.”

Loreen bowed respectfully and walked out, Ethelyne opened the book in her hand and showed it to Meli. “What aunt knows about this thing?”

“That's not holy tools. Why did Miss ask?” asked Meli after paying careful attention to the picture.

“I went to the forest of the fairies, and the spirit of light. Mika, give me this.” Ethelyne showed me the bracelet.

Meli closed her mouth in surprise. “Not that ..”

“Yes, these are the sacred tools that mother left behind.”

Ethelyne was speechless, she looked at Meli with a poker face. “Auntie, what ... aunty never to the forest of the fairies?”

Meli looked at him confused, she smiled faintly. “Of course not, you know. Only holy maidens can break through the legendary dragon-made barrier, Mr. Murry.”

“So, yes?” muttered Ethelyne quietly.

“Your Majesty, are you going to go to the human world again after this?”

Ethelyne stared fixedly at Meli, she walked out of the room and stared outside the kingdom from the window in front of her room. “So please, maybe I won't go there again. Anyway, any minute. I will declare war,” Ethelyne paused his words, his breath as if choked. He opened his mouth and said something, but no words came out.

“Your Highness, if you really don't want to do it. Don't force yourself.” Meli walked over to Ethelyne's side and touched the window pane. “The Human World and the demon world are very different, if you are in the human world. You will be able to feel the warmth of the sun and the beauty of the earth, you cannot see it all here. Every day only black clouds, and not even any flowers bloom at all.”

Ethelyne looked up at the sky. “Meli, do you miss the human world?”

Meli looked at the confused Ethelyne, she smiled gently. “Maybe, yes. I miss my father who was in the human world, whether he was alive or not.” Meli chuckled with her words just now. “That's impossible, right. After all, hundreds of years have passed. Father can't possibly live more than ninety years.”

“Where's Aunt tau?”

“Because that's how humans are, it's very rare that humans can live to hundreds of years. Your Majesty, you must cherish your life. In the human world, many still want to live but die for reasons that are even very ridiculous.”

“Is that?” Ethelyne turned around and leaned against the wall, she looked at Meli who was still staring out the window. “What Aunt likes to be a devil?”

“ ... Not really, eternal life in solitude is more miserable than dying young. Although I wish the people around me would live a long life.”

Ethelyne nodded in understanding. “Then, what if I die first? Will Aunt be sad?”

Meli looked at Ethelyne with a glare. “What do you mean, Your Majesty?! You must not die first, if you die. Who will guard this kingdom!”

Ethelyne looked at the plain Meli, she chuckled small. “You how else, the holy girl has appeared. If my identity as a demon is discovered, then I will instantly die on the spot.”

“You can't die! If the holy girl has appeared - eh?”

“What's up? Wasn't Auntie very panicked, why did Aunt suddenly turn to be confused?”
