The Queen Of The Demon World
61. Reconnaissance

After tormenting Mili for a whole day, the girl is now deeply traumatized by Ethelyne. He only kept himself locked up in the spirit village for a week and went back to meet Ethelyne on the eighth day.

“Your Highness, do you want something?” tanya Meli offered.

Ethelyne who was sitting pensively shook her head.

“Good, if you need anything. Please call me.” Meli bowed respectfully and walked out.

The remaining Ethelyne who returned pensive, second by second passed very slowly. He took a long breath. “Laurie, Vio.”

Laurie suddenly appears behind him, but this time. Vio did not appear with him.

“How?”

“Your Majesty, the demons are starting to make the human army retreat. Do you want demon warriors to enter the human city and slaughter them?”

“No need, don't do anything. After repelling all the human troops, ask Harley to rewind the soldiers and return to the underworld.”

“But ..”

“This is a command!”

Laurie was silent, she was down. “Good.”

The atmosphere returned silent, Ethelyne glanced at Laurie who was silent. He's not like he used to be. “What's up? Where is Vio? Why doesn't he come with you?”

“Vio .. he is on the battlefield and helping Prince Ke6.”

“So yeah? Is that why your face becomes unsightly, you also become more quiet than usual.”

“Not like that.” Laurie shook her head with a sad look, she looked up and looked at Ethelyne with a wounded look. “I don't want .. You disappear.”

Ethelyne momentarily fell silent, she looked at Laurie whose teary eyes held back tears. Ethelyne smiled gently. “Cabinets.”

Submissively, Laurie walked up to Ethelyne and stood beside the girl.

Ethelyne raised her hand and rubbed the mane of the girl gently. “I will not go anywhere, even though I cannot meet in the human world or in the demon world. But, I separated one-third of my sacred power left in the forest of the spirits. If you miss me, come over there and meet me.”

“But, I can't get in. I'm also not sure if they'll believe in me.” Laurie turned her eyes.

“They will believe, before leaving. I'll send them a letter, when you come there with Vio. Use a pseudonym and cite the code "I met the queen" then the Spirit of Light, Mika. Will understand what you say anyway ..” Ethelyne rubbed Laurie's face gently. “I once gave my holy power to you guys right, even though the holy power was exhausted or melted. But that magic will leave behind a bit of holy power that you can use to get through the barrier.”

“But, are you sure it will work?”

“Of course.” Ethelyne smiled. “Holy energy will instantly fuse with the spirit beast that has been contracted by the holy maiden, so even though I disappeared. The holy power within you will never fade.”

“Master ...” Laurie's eyes glazed over, she hugged Ethelyne tightly. “I will definitely miss the master, I will often see the master later.”

“Hey, I don't want to go yet. Because of my work here, it is still not finished ..” Ethelyne was silent for a moment. ‘Are you .. can help me pass on a message when I disappear later?’ Not long after, Ethelyne smiled faintly. “Thank you,” he said without a sound.

“Have you made sure no people are outside the palace?”

“Yes, Your Grace. After the demon invasion several times. The surrounding villages are taking refuge in the Iceworld kingdom or neighboring jobs, all as you planned. If you want, we can bring the humans to the underworld.”

“No need.” Ethelyne, dressed in a robe, glanced at Leyton, Gareth, and Verlin, who were standing behind Harvey. “I only trust you, if you ask for the help of another demon. I'm not sure they'll do it for free. We do not know how many people in this kingdom, they could eat some humans to maintain life.”

“You're right, but it can't last long. Although the demon power has recovered, but I can't let it take over until my task is done. Harvey, I want you to go to the upper world and deliver something.”

“What? But are you sure they'll believe my words? Moreover, I am a demon. The beings in the upper world could not possibly believe the words of a demon.”

“They will believe. Come here a minute.”

With a puzzled look on his face, Harvey approached Ethelyne. However, just a few steps. He suddenly felt a great pain in his chest, Harvey knelt while clutching his chest which felt very hot and painful. “Your Highness, this ..”

“Don't worry, this holy power won't kill you. I gave away a little of my holy power that was united with demonic power, that way. The effects of the holy power will weaken, but even so. You will still feel the pain, though ... only 20% of the actual pain.”

“Only 20%?!” asked Harvey in surprise, how could the pain that even made him want to die was only 20% of the original pain. He looked at Ethelyne in disbelief, all of a sudden. The pain in his chest was not felt due to the shock that overcame his pain. ‘What does it mean, all this time you feel very sick because your two opposing forces? I can't imagine the pain you've been feeling all this time.’

“It's true.”

Harvey looked at Ethelyne who was smiling wryly.

The girl looked at him closely, her eyes were red. “The pain is so unbearable, it's possible that I could choose. Maybe I'll choose to die rather than feel the pain, but. The pain is nothing, I know. It is possible, the pain my other soul experienced was stronger when he was given the holy pill.”

“Pil ... holy??”

“Vio doesn't talk about it huh?” Ethelyne gazed towards the Iceworld kingdom which could be seen from the plateau. “Three months ago, I was captured by people from the Virgian.” clan

“What?!”

Ethelyne glanced at Harvey who looked surprised. “It seems you know about the clan huh?”

“Iya, I heard about it as a child. Although never met directly with the founder of the clan, but from what I heard. One of the clan elders is the legendary Dragon who gave the first holy energy to Lady Maria Viaargian.”

“Oh, so yes. So, do you know that too. Only Lady Maria can use the holy sword?”
