The Queen Of The Demon World
72. Sacrifice

Ethelyne brusquely opened the door, he hurriedly towards Eadric who was lying on the bed with a pale face. “What are you doing? Why can he drink poison from my drawer?” the question was cold, Ethelyne raised both hands towards Eadric. He closed his eyes. ‘Light, darkness, death, life, solitude. Weakness can be a weapon or a strength, O holy spirits. Protect mankind from all evil forces.’

“Sorry, Ethelyne. We didn't notice Eadric opening the drawer and drinking the deep black liquid.”

Ethelyne's heart wanted to be dislodged, he clenched his hands until the greenish light that began to surround Eadric suddenly disappeared. “Are you guys stupid?” tanyanya muttering.

“We're sorry, we really didn't realize it,” said Aelene with one hand over the chest, honestly. He himself was worried about the plans they were putting together, let alone. The original Eadric took the potion and drank it.

“Apologies? What's the point of apologizing?” ethelyne asked in a flat tone, she turned towards the four of them and looked at them hatefully. “Do you not know! That pitch-black potion could destroy one's soul!!” Ethelyne glanced at Eadric. “Kissing the smell alone has made a demon seriously poisoned, let alone him who is only a human!!”

“What?!” surprised fourth.

Ethelyne clucked, he turned towards Eadric. “Free, she can't be cured with holy magic though.”

“Is there no way to cure it?! You should have the antidote, right!”

Ethelyne sighed. “I didn't make the antidote, but. There are two ways to save her, the first way. Sacrificing one of you to remove the poison and save his life. Second way ...”

“Can't! We will not let anyone become a victim!”

Ethelyne glanced at the four who wore guilty and worried faces. “So, you will use the second way to save him. That is, make it a demon.”

“What?”

“Yes, if he can be made a demon. Then I can use the power of darkness to remove the poison, but if not. Then it will be forced to use the first way.”

“K-in that case, just turn him into a demon.”

“Zion! Why can you do that to my brother!”

“But this is the only way, if we don't save him immediately. He's going to die!”

“You--”

“Enough!” lerai Aelene, she looked at Ethelyne who had turned her back to them. “Let me take his place receive the poison.”

“Aeli!”

“Aelene, are you crazy?!”

“Nona Aelene!”

“You how else, it's only one-on-one way. There's no way we're making him a demon!”

“But ..”

“Already, Zac. After all, just think of this as my return to Eadric who once helped me from those depraved men.” Aelene smiled sweetly despite her heart becoming extremely unsettled.

“Aeli, you shouldn't do this .. let me take the place of both!” zachary said as he raised his hand up.

“Can't, just let me be His Majesty's replacement. If His Highness the prince sacrificed his life, then the kingdom will be in big trouble.”

“True, true.” Zion embraces Ned's shoulder. “Let us take his place, you must stay alive to take care of the kingdom someday.”

“Are you stupid! You're a Duke and brother's right hand, you shouldn't die here!”

“No, you're the one who's supposed to be alive.”

“You!”

“You!”

In the midst of the fourth debate, Ethelyne smiled faintly. He glanced at Eadric who seemed to be asleep. ‘You are very lucky, many people like you and are willing to sacrifice their lives for you. Hah, you shouldn't mess with my poisons.’ Ethelyne raised her hand towards Eadric's chest, to be exact. Towards the man's heart. ‘The darkness that always comes, the sun that replaced the moon. The moon that covers the sun, the light of darkness that never fades. The eternal life I ever wanted, today. I, as the holy maiden and also the Queen of darkness. Sacrificing half my soul to keep this human soul intact and return to its body back.’

Ethelyne smiled faintly with a barrier suddenly covering her. ‘You will never know this feeling, Ethel.’

“Yeah, you really are. Because basically, the demon did not feel anything even when it saw his family being slaughtered before them. For us demons, food is the main thing. Even if we have to kill the family ourselves, we will do so as long as it gets enough nutrition to be strong and invincible.” - this is the case

‘Ethel, I want to ask you one thing.’ Ethelyne grimaced small, her magic energy as if draining very quickly. Moreover, he who could only use holy magic and inflame half his holy soul to prevent the destruction of Eadric's soul.

“I know, you want me to protect them and release all the humans who were prisoners when the plague ended. Kan?” -

‘You can always guess it perfectly.’ Blood came out of Ethelyne's mouth, slowly. The girl's sight began to blur.

“Of course .. don't worry, I will protect them during in the demon world. A-Consider it in return because you've been willing to protect my people all this time.” \=

‘Yeah, thank you. I probably won't be able to last long with the rest ..’ Ethelyne fell and fell unconscious, somehow. But as blood slowly soaked the dress, Aelene frantically examined Ethelyne but found no injuries. Strangely, however, blood was unceasingly flowing from the chest of the girl. More precisely, his heart.

“Ethelyne, what happened?” aelene asked with teary eyes. “I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this. Everything is my fault.” He hugged Ethelyne with flowing tears.

Murry stared flat at the broken glass in front of him, he crouched down and picked up a very small sized sphere that gave off a faint glow. ‘That girl ... she's really stupid.’

“Mr Murry?”

Murry stood up and glanced at Willian who was standing behind him. “Call all the spirits of light, something unexpected happened to the holy girl.”

“Eh, fine!”

~~~♥~~~

“What?? You mean, the holy magic energy in Lady Ethelyne's body has vanished!” mika said surprised, how not. She was swimming before she got word from Willian about the sudden meeting, and now. He heard unexpected news.

“Ennerya does not disappear completely.” Murry put the little ball on the table and let all the spirits who were there see it.

“Holy energy is still left, but with such a small amount. It's possible that Brother Ethelyne's soul didn't last long, Mr. Murry. Is there no way to save Brother Ethelyne?” nina asked as she looked at Murry expectantly.

“No.”

“Then should how now this?” Mika sat in her chair with a frustrated look on her face, she never imagined this day would come.

‘Based on that stupid girl, she could have been reckless to sacrifice half her soul. What should I say to Miss Earlene at the time of her resurrection?!’
