The Queen Of The Demon World
74. Bereft

“How are you guys doing?” ethelyne asked in a flat tone, she glanced towards those who were looking at her intently. “What's up?”

“We're fine, you alone. How are you doing?” aelene asked while looking down.

Ethelyne smiled. “What does Miss Aelene care about me?”

“I ..”

“I'm just kidding.” Ethelyne looked at them alternately with a sweet smile. “Thank God you guys are fine.”

“You, how are you doing now?” zion asked as he turned his face the other way.

“I?” Ethelyne pointed to himself, Zion gave a small nod. “Ah, is it true that I. Or ... the sacred soul within me?”

Zion turned to Ethelyne, and they realized the color of the girl's eyes.

“Why?” Ethelyne looked at them all coldly, the smile on her face turning flat. “You never expected me to appear in front of you, right? Well, how ya.” He's got a chest with his eyes closed. “How else, my holy soul can no longer take over this body until it is destroyed.” Ethelyne opened her eyes and looked at Eadric with squinting eyes. “This is all because of the 6th prince, right no. If only he had not been reckless to drink the black poison, Ethelyne would not have sacrificed his soul. Hah, poor girl.”

“What, can I meet him??”

Ethelyne turned her gaze towards Aelene. “I told you, he can't show up. Are you stupid or what? Taking over a body with two souls is very difficult and requires a lot of strength, maybe for me it's easy. But to a saint soul like him, it was extremely difficult. Especially since his soul was only half over, and quite some time ago. He sacrificed half his soul, so guess what. How can he survive if my energy continues to eat his remaining soul a little, even his current energy cannot be gathered.”

“Please! If you can, please help him. I'll do whatever you want to help her stay alive!”

“Anything?” Ethelyne looked at Aelene who was nodding with squinting eyes, she grinned. “Alright, as long as you don't .. ugh!” Ethelyne closed her eyes with a pained look, she sat on the floor covering her face with both hands.

“Ethelyne!” Aelene ran towards Ethelyne and crouched down before the girl, she stared worriedly at the girl before her.

Ethelyne lowered both hands, tears unceasingly flowing from her eye fertilizers. “Any, why am I crying?” muttered

“Ethelyne, what's up? Why are you suddenly crying? Are you in a lot of pain? Are you sad to remember your family?” aelene asked worriedly, but the girl before her did not reply at all.

“Mustahil.” Ethelyne's eyes seemed to tremble, she pushed Aelene who was about to touch her and stood up and ran out.

“Ethelyne!”

“Aeli, are you okay?” ask the worried Zachary.

“Murry shit! What the fuck! Why can't I feel the holy soul in Ethelyne's body?!” ask Ethelyne who just broke down the meeting room door and shocked everyone inside.

“You ..”

Ethelyne hurriedly walked towards Murry and kicked the table. “What are you doing huh?? Why did he suddenly disappear?! There was no way she had already disappeared, her saint soul was not that little to disappear this fast!”

“Why do you look panicked? Are you worried about Lady Ethelyne?” asked William with his raised eyebrows next to his.

“A lizard like you better shut up!” ethelyne said firmly while pointing right at William's face.

“I'm not a lizard!”

“Calm down, he's fine. I just moved the rest of his soul to where it should be.”

Ethelyne's forehead seemed to shrivel, she looked at the man before her cluelessly. “You mean?”

“Nona Ethelyne.” Mika who had just stood up and looked at Ethelyne seriously. “Because of Lady's insufficient number of souls, we were forced to take her soul by force and put it into the soul circle to recover all her souls back. That's why you suddenly do not feel the presence of a holy soul.”

“Since when ..” Ethelyne glanced at Nina who had just looked down. “You must be right! The goddamn time spirit!!”

“N-nina just want to save Lady ..”

“Basic--”

“Enough! You have no right to scold spirits in the upper world, if you have no other need. Please leave here, Demon Queen.”

Ethelyne looked at Murry full of hostility, he clenched his hands to bleed. “Good, I'll be out. But before that, I want to meet Ethelyne's soul. After that, I won't see you guys again.”

Murry glanced at William and the spirits, they only nodded in approval. Murry sighed. “Alright, but only five minutes!”

A sweet smile splattered on Ethelyne's face, the girl nodded many times.

“Please come with me.” Water spirit, Maira. Stand up and lead the way to a cave covered in vines.

It was not until half an hour since entering the cave, Ethelyne was already able to see the torchlight. He stopped in front of the holy barrier, Ethelyne was staring at a girl surrounded by butterflies standing in the middle of the magic circle with her eyes closed, the girl was completely similar to him. His hand raised and touching the barrier, Ethelyne smiled faintly.

“I will wait for Miss outside,” said Maira who seemed to know the situation, she then walked out and left Ethelyne alone.

“Sorry, I can't help you at all,” Ethelyne said with a sad look. “I really want to save you, but my strength will only hurt you more.” He looked down while looking at both of his hands. “Any yes, whereas from the beginning I wanted you to go. But after you really left, I felt sad and lonely. Could it be because no one cares about me as sincerely as you do? But since when, since when do I care about my own enemies? I feel very uncomfortable.” Ethelyne put her hand on the chest. “My heart seems to be sliced by a sharp dagger, it hurts. Why do I feel this pain when you're gone? Shouldn't I be happy, but why would I feel sad? I don't want you to go.” Tears flow without stopping. “I want you back, back and live with me again. Ethelyne, if I were born human in the first place. Could it be that this will not happen, but .. can we meet if I become human? You're a Virgian, while if I'm an ordinary human being. I will only always humble myself, I may not want to be with you out of inferiority and envy. I'll probably be mean and hurt yourself, sorry. I'm sorry, Ethelyne. It's all my fault, sorry. I'm sorry.”

“**This is not your fault at all**.”

Ethelyne looked up and stared at the girl with her eyes still closed. ‘I'll try to help you stay alive, at least. Seagai friend, I can save my friend. Thank you all this time for caring and not hating me, only you are a mother, and Meli who loves me and is sincere with me.
