The Queen Of The Demon World
71. Explain

Without answering Aelene's question, Ethelyne took off her embrace. “I hope, I don't see you guys anymore. Remember one thing.” He walked out aided by Meli. “Do not wander recklessly in my palace .. Loreen, escort them back.”

“Good, Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, what did you whisper to Miss Alys earlier?” asked Meli while putting a tray filled with a glass of red liquid.

“Not important, by the way. What about the other prisoners?”

“Everything is still asleep in the illusionary dream you made after confining the Iceworld kingdom. If I may ask, what will you do to all of them?”

“No need to know.” Ethelyne took the glass on the tray and drank the red liquid in one gulp. “Eugh, it always feels strange,” muttered as he put the empty glass back on the tray, he looked at Meli who had just stood before him. “Do you want to convey something?”

“I'm sorry.” Meli lowered her head while hiding her fist. “What will His Majesty really ... make them food of the demons?”

“Hem?” Ethelyne tilted her head in confusion. “Who said?”

Meli glanced in the other direction with a look of doubtful face. “I accidentally heard the remarks of Mr. Harvey and Mr. Gareth.”

“Oh, so yes.”

“What You ..”

“I won't kill them kok.” Ethelyne smiled sweetly, she stared at the empty bracelet on the tray. “I just want them to stay here until everything is done, if the time comes later. I will definitely let them return to the human world .. Meli, can you please come closer?”

Meli gave a small nod, she approached towards Ethelyne.

The girl with all her might stood up and whispered softly. “Please take care of Luna when I leave later, she is my beloved daughter. Don't let anyone hurt or insult her, Meli. No, but Auntie. I only hope for you, I'm sure. You can protect Luna just like you protected me from death hundreds of years ago.”

“Your Majesty, why can you ... have a child??” meli asked in surprise, she took a step back. “You don't ... do weird things with humans right!”

“Pfft.” Ethelyne covered her mouth holding a laugh, especially when she saw the look on Meli's face that looked surprised and disappointed. I don't know why his heart is a little light. “I didn't do anything strange anyway, Luna was born from both of my unstable magical energies. But no problem, he would not be able to use holy magic or dark magic. So, Auntie. Please protect him until he grows up, go with the humans to the middle world. Don't let Luna set foot in this demon world, and one more thing. Never tell anyone about the identity of Luna.”

Meli breathed a sigh of relief. “Good, I will carry out all your commands. But, where will His Majesty go? Are you going far away until Miss Luna leaves it to me?”

Ethelyne smiled faintly. “Yes, very far away and maybe I need a very long time to come back. But don't worry, I will definitely come back and pick up Luna.”

Meli looked at Ethelyne with an indecipherable look on her face, she sighed and smiled. “I will continue to wait for your return, Your Excellency.”

“I told you no! Why don't you believe me!” angered Aelene, she had already explained everything many times. But these three bastards in front of him were never willing to listen to him.

“Aeli, you shouldn't trust him. Anyway, he's a demon.”

“Zac, you better shut up! You made me really angry this time!” Aelene stared fiercely at Zachary, but it looked funny in the man's eyes.

“As the 7th prince said, we cannot trust a demon easily despite being together for a few months .. no, maybe just a few days.”

Aelene turned her gaze towards Zion and Eadric. “Are you guys just going to be quiet??”

Zion who was leaning back let out a long breath. “This time, I agree on Zac and Ned. We can't trust a demon no matter how long we know them, Aelene. Remember his words, to the demons. We are just food, they cannot possibly set us free.”

“I believe in Aelene.”

Aelene's eyes stared at Eadric full of twinkle, finally. There was one person who was willing to defend and believe in his words.

“Kak ..”

“What you forgot, when the soldier injured the girl's shoulder with a sword. Is not the blood that comes out like us humans, besides. He could not regenerate at all, so it was possible. She was turned into a demon by the real Demon Queen.”

Zion looked at Eadric who was sitting on the sofa halfway while having his chest covered. “So you mean, she's not the real Queen?”

“Yes, maybe so. Perhaps she was forced to disguise herself as the Queen in order to make the real queen remain mysterious, could it be. He was threatened with using someone important to him.”

“But isn't that just a guess, what if she's the real queen?”

“Then we just need to kill him,” Zion said easily, but he was immediately stared at sharply by Eadric and Aelene. I don't know what spells the girl gave her two best friends.

“In my opinion, what if we watch her first to ascertain what the pen-girl I mean, Miss Ethelyne is a demon queen or just a surrogate.”

“Which Ned said is true, but how do I keep an eye on Ethelyne? The barier installed outside the room looks very strong, with our current state of being depleted of magic energy. Impossible to destroy the barrier.”

They instantly fell silent to Aelene's words, inwardly. The four agreed to the girl's words.

“I have a plan.”

The four of them turned towards Eadric at the same time. “What plan?”

Eadric was silent and looked at the four. “Death.”

“What are you fools! Why can't you guys just keep five humans?!” enraged, Ethelyne asked, she had just gotten word that one of the human prisoners in her room had accidentally drunk poison and was dying.

“M-forgive us, Your Majesty. We really didn't expect that guy would be reckless drinking poison in your drawer.”

“Drawer of my desk?” Ethelyne walked away in a hurry. ‘What a fool he is!! Why can't he recognize poison! Basic damn!!’

“Your Majesty, you want-”

“Kill all the demons that keep my room safe and replace it with another.” Ethelyne immediately interrupted Meli's remark and went away without giving the woman a chance to ask.

“Why does His Majesty suddenly look so angry?”

“I heard, one of the captives locked in His Majesty's room accidentally drank deadly poison and was dying,” said Loreen who had been standing next to Meli.

“Which prisoner?” ask Meli who is used to it.

“Don't know, but it looks like he's a guy with purple eyes and black hair.”
