The Queen Of The Demon World
60. The Fate of Mili

It has been almost three months since Ethelyne's return from the forest of the spirits, she is now living her daily life as usual. A dull life accompanied by faithful files accompanied him at all times.

A heavy sigh rang out from his mouth, he propped up his chin while flipping the pages of the book that was before him. ‘It's been three months, why haven't any of them given the news? Are they all okay in the human world?’ Ethelyne let out a huffed sigh, she shifted the books before her and bowed her face. ‘I was so bored, my other soul was whatever I was doing. He never again took over the body or spoke to me, what was he doing? Akhs! Ethelyne, you fool! You should be happy, wouldn't it be great because only you control this body, if my other soul controls it. Then the rest of my remaining soul will fade away slowly, I might not be able to maintain my existence either.’ Ethelyne looked up and looked at the picture of a beautiful woman with a sweet smile and a cute baby in her cradle. “Mother ... Why did you put this weight on me?”

“Master, how are you?” laurie asked who suddenly appeared behind Ethelyne, of course accompanied by Vio who still looked indifferent.

“Why are you here?” Ethelyne glanced at the both of them lazily.

Laurie puffed her cheeks in annoyance. “Do you don't want me to come??”

“Well, there you have it,” replied Ethelyne indifferently. He turned back his face.

“You are so evil, Master! I Hate You!”

“Stupid time.”

“Humph!” Laurie crossed her chest while staring in the direction with the look of her face made as angry as possible.

“Stop being childish.” Vio heartlessly flicked Laurie's forehead hard enough, he turned his head towards Ethelyne. “Nona, we came here to report information from the battlefield.”

“Eh, you guys?” Ethelyne got up and turned to look at Vio. “Why can you guys be on the battlefield?”

“More precisely just me.”

“It's not the same!”

“Silence, Laurie! Vio, explain what happened on the battlefield in the last three months.” Ethelyne stared flatly at Vio.

“Huh.” The man sighed. “In the last three months .. I've written everything here.” Vio handed the dark blue book over.

Ethelyne took the book and opened it, she read every word written on the book with full concentration. A faint smile splashed across his face, he closed the book and looked at Vio. “It was not in vain that you became the custodian of the five-colored flower, and it was fortunate that Eadric brought the flower petals to the battlefield. Did he ever call you?”

“No, it seems Mr. Eadric has not known that I am directly connected to the five-color flower. So if she drips her blood onto a flower, then the contract between me and her will be intertwined. But--”

“Why did Master give the flower five colors and why did you make Vio do twice the contract?” Laurie suddenly interrupted Vio's remark, she glanced at the man with a rancid smile.

“Hem, why yes? I myself don't know.”

“Hah?”

“Maybe because I remain human, and my conscience cannot see a human being injured.”

“Ah, so yes.” Laurie nodded. ‘But why should the 6th prince? Why not Duke, count, or king or queen or. Why should it be on the 6th prince?’

“Laurie.”

“Ya!”

“Did you forget, I can telepathize with you. In other words, the words you said inwardly earlier .. I heard them!” Ethelyne looked at Laurie, upset, why the damned girl had come to a conclusion without thinking.

“A-a-a-I just-”

“Please forgive Laurie, Miss. I will advise and punish him later, please release Laurie this time.”

Ethelyne propped up her chin. “Yes, you're right. I shouldn't be mad at Laurie. But ...” He glanced at Laurie sharply. “His words really suck! What he didn't think before saying anything in heart, I did everything for a reason.”

“What Do You Mean, Master?”

Ethelyne smiled faintly. “To gain people's trust fully, others have to sacrifice a little in order for the goal to be achieved.”

“Nona.”

Ethelyne smiled sweetly. “Don't worry about anything, I won't hurt him at all. He'll just .. well, owe me a little later. And to carry out my plan, I had to make a little sacrifice. From there, have the three collected all the ashes of the demons?”

“Iya, Miss. If you want to. I can help you to bring him here.”

“No need, where is the gray?”

“I and Laurie have collected everything in the main hall, do you want to go there now?”

“No need, just go to the battlefield and tell Harvey. "The Queen of Devils will come and help you in a week".”

Vio kneeled with one leg as a pedestal. “I understand, I'll pass on your message.”

“You can go, Laurie. You come with me to the dark forest.”

“Eh?? Why should it be?” laurie asked as she pointed to herself.

“I need to do recovery, call Mili too. I have to teach that damned girl a lesson!” Ethelyne stood up and walked out, Laurie immediately followed him away while Vio returned to the battlefield.

“Hua!! Your Majesty, please forgive me. I admit to being wrong, I won't do it again!!” mili shouted in fear, how not. He was buried in the ground until only his head appeared.

“Aren't you supposed to think about the consequences before telling Meli.” Ethelyne flicked her finger, five demon wolves came out from her shadow. The five wolves surrounded Mili who was shouting hysterically.

“Your Majesty! Please forgive me, please forgive me!!”

“Master, no. This is a little overdone?” laurie asked hesitantly, she now would not dare to disturb Ethelyne after seeing Mili's terrible condition. He could have been thrown in the abyss of death.

“Only this is the only way to speed up energy collection.”

“Eh, what?” Laurie looked at Ethelyne confused, both of whom were now sitting on a dry tree branch not far from where Mili was buried.

“This is the only way to be able to speed up the gathering of the darkness energy of my other soul, because the amount of my other soul magic energy is very little. He cannot take over this body and gather energy in the dark forest, while I as a substitute for Mother cannot absorb the dark energy in this forest at all. So the only way, is to absorb one's fear and despair.”

“Why do you want your demon soul to rise?”

“Because I can't gather my energy if my demonic soul doesn't take over, it's different from her. I could only gather my energy in another dimension, we were both different. He couldn't gather energy quickly in my dimension, while I couldn't gather energy at all in the dark forest. Unless, I go to the human world. Maybe my holy energy can return but surely his recovery will take a very long time while I can only leave for a while, let alone the war is going on at the border.”
