The Queen Of The Demon World
46. Farewell

Ethelyne shook her head, she smiled faintly. “I hope you can always get along. Although later I will not exist, but you can not be separated from each other.”

“Huhu, master. You can't say that.” Laurie's been stuck in the barier like a lizard. “If you die, who will give me another nice snack?”

Vio directly hit Laurie's head hard enough, at least enough to make the girl complain of pain. “You're really very stupid, yeah. Don't you know, if your master dies. So, as a contract animal. We'll disappear.”

“Eh, what?? Why can?” laurie asked in surprise.

Vio was massaging his temple, he was now very confident in his name to the girl in front of him. “Because we as spirit animals that have been contracted are united with the soul of the owner, that is to say. You, me, and Miss have become one. We're like the soul of Miss, if her soul comes out of the body. Then we'll disappear.”

Laurie nodded in understanding, she looked at Ethelyne with a hopeful look and as if saying 'Don't die, otherwise. I'll be dead too'.

Ethelyne sighed, she stood up and walked closer to the barrier. Ethelyne touches the surface of the barrier like water. “I won't get you involved in any trouble, and neither will you die with me.”

“That's impossible to do, Miss. Unless someone wants to be our container to replace you.”

“Don't worry about anything.” Ethelyne's hand pierced through the barrier, she touched Laurie and Vio's cheeks with a gentle smile inside the barrier. “I will keep you alive by using half my soul.”

Laurie's eyes are teary. “Master.” She wiped away the tears that were pooled using her arms.

“Are you sure? If you are going to use your soul as the payment, then 70% of you cannot be reincarnated,” said Vio wisely.

“That's not a problem, as long as I can see you two happy. Then everything will be fine.” Ethelyne smiled, she lowered her hand and stepped back from the barrier. “Go and meet Mika, tell her. I, the last holy girl will ask Mr. Murry for help to do one thing that can atone for my sin.”

“But, we can't get in through the barier-”

“I share holy power with you, in this way. You are free to go in and out through the barrier, but remember one thing. It all depends on your heart.”

Laurie and Vio stared at each other, both nodding simultaneously. “We will carry out the orders of the Virgian holy maiden,” said the two while kneeling with one foot as a pedestal.

Ethelyne chuckled pettyly at the serious attitude of the two. “Thank you, you can go now. Be careful of wild animals.”

The two slowly faded and disappeared, as the aura of the two existences Ethelyne did not feel anymore. The smile on his face slowly faded, he again sat down on the edge of the window and stared at the blue-colored barrier that formed a circle with him as the core. Ethelyne smiled smirkily. “Isn't it funny being cooped up in your own barrier, huh. I don't know until when else I can survive.” He looked out the window. “I just hope, this world will still run after my departure. At least, you're going to finish my wish that wasn't granted, right? Luna.”

“What's up, Your Honor? Are you not healthy? You look very pale today,” said Ned a little worried, how not. Even Eadric's face was paler the first time he saw the murder, if Eadric didn't move or breathe. Someone might think he's dead.

“I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy.” Eadric still remembered Rimuru's words yesterday, he felt very strange with the girl's words. ‘After all, he said farewell. And a few minutes later, he said we might meet again someday.’ Eadric jostled in frustration, in addition to Rimuru's ambiguous remarks. His piled up work made him even more dizzy, Eadric clenched his hands. ‘Damn the girl, she always comes and goes as she pleases. He doesn't respect me as his master, just look at it when we meet again. I'll never let him go again!’

“Your Highness, what if you take a walk first?” tawar Ned who felt Eadric's mood swings.

Ned sighed, he bowed respectfully and walked away. ‘Why is His Majesty's attitude getting weird?’

“Mama, why did Mama bring me here?” a cute 9-year-old little girl asked, her ruby red eyes color looking very beautiful. He looked up and looked at the woman he was holding.

“Luna, do you want to see your aunt? She's a very nice person, she's been looking after mom all this time.” The woman smiled gently, she crouched down and equalized her height with the little girl. “Luna, if you get out of here. You should be nice to Auntie, even though Mama might not be able to keep you company. But you can't feel like you're losing Mama.” The woman kissed Luna. “If Luna misses Mama, Luna can come to this world and meet Mama. Baby, Mama is hoping. You won't end up like Mama, live like a normal girl. Don't reveal your strength to anyone, Mama doesn't want Luna to sacrifice herself like Mama.”

Luna looked at the woman confused, she nodded with a sweet smile. “Iya, Luna will definitely listen to Mama's words. Luna will be kind to everyone and will not reveal Luna's strength, other than that. Luna will also make Mama proud to see Luna.”

The woman smiled faintly, she rubbed Luna's cheeks gently. “Luna, don't always be nice. If someone is bothering you, you must fight back too.” The woman turned her head and looked at the expanse of flowers surrounding them, as if there was no end to it at all. “Luna should be like that butterfly.” He pointed at the butterflies that perched on the flowers. “Luna must not make yourself feel sad or miserable, Luna must be like a butterfly flying freely in the sky.”

Luna nodded back, she hugged the Woman. “Luna loves Mama very much, Luna does not want to go from Mama.”

“Didn't Luna want to see the outside world? If Luna stays with Mama, Luna won't be able to see the outside world and be confined here forever.”

Luna let go of her embrace, her red eyes Ruby looked very sad. “Luna don't want to lose Mama.”

“Mama will not leave Luna, Mama will always be here and accompany Luna.”

“Luna just wants to be with Mama, Luna is fine if she doesn't have Papa. But if Luna also loses Mama, Luna will be very sad.”

The woman held Luna and stood up. “Luna, the outside world is even wider than this world. Mama just wanted to make a message, if Luna arrives in the human world later. Luna should not be mean to anyone unless they are bothering Luna.”
