The Queen Of The Demon World
86. Provocations

“Lately you have often called me to meet together yes,” Ethelyne said as she tapped on the table, she stared flatly at Murry who was replied with a cold gaze.

“Laurie has agreed to do a lifetime contract, the rest just to prepare a ritual place and also a little holy power Ethelyne.” Murry looked at Ethelyne seriously.

“I understand, I understand. Don't look at me like that.” Ethelyne shook her hand. “So, when will the generating ritual be done?”

All of them in the meeting room stared at each other, all of them silent. No one wants to answer Ethelyne's simple questions.

“Why did you guys become speechless??” Ethelyne, who was still in residence, kicked the table hard and full of anger. “Are you deaf or mute?! Why no one wants to answer my question!”

“Begini, Queen ...” Miley explained in stammering fashion, she glanced at the other spirits who just chose silence. “Actually, this ritual requires a large amount of magic energy and for a long time. So, if we start the ritual without preparation. Then the ritual can be stopped in the middle of the road, and if it happens ..”

“If it happens?” Ethelyne looked at Miley with a frown.

“Then, the soul of Lady Ethelyne will completely disappear and can not be resurrected again.”

Ethelyne was silent for a moment, she sat back quietly after hearing Miley's explanation. His gaze turned to Murry and William. “So how long does it take to collect magic energy? And how long does it take to use magic?”

“Because of the awakening of the impressed Lady was too hasty, so most likely. It took us years to awaken his power and when the ritual began, we could not stop him halfway as the Spirit of the wind said. What's more, always giving magic on a large scale is too risky for now.”

“Can I help give you magic?”

“Sorry, but it can't be done.” William paused his speech and looked at Ethelyne seriously. “Your magic is very opposite to holy magic, and if you interfere. Then the holy energy of both will disappear.”

“So yes.” Ethelyne held her chin thinking, she glanced at Murry. “So how long does it take to collect his magic energy?”

“It takes eight more months.”

“So yes.” Ethelyne glanced in the other direction. “Let me state that sacred soul every day.” He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Murry massaged his temple. ‘Can-can he come and go as he pleases.’

“Tuan.”

Murry turned towards William with a frown as if asking 'what'.

“Why you... no, forget it.” William stood up and walked away.

The spirits who were still there stared at the two alternately, were they in a fight. Such is the inner 9th spirit that is there.

“Please tea.” Fiona put a warm cup of tea on the table, she looked at Ethelyne who looked busy with her files. “Yang Mulia.”

Ethelyne who was too busy just cleared her throat in response.

“What You ... don't feel tired?”

His hand that was about to turn the page came to a halt, he looked at Fiona who was looking down while tightly holding the tray in her arms. “What do you mean?”

“I, I don't mean anything. It's just, I think. Your Majesty must be tired of continuing to visit the humans and restrain your lust.” Fiona closed her eyes. “I've always seen you very exhausted lately, You. You also often come out the palace secretly,” murmured at the end of the sentence.

“You, why do you know??”

“Oh, so yes,” says Ethelyne while leaning back and having a chest. ‘Mili damn! I told you to be careful, why you can still get caught anyway!’

“Yang Mulia.”

Fiona's call disperse Ethelyne's daydream, she looked at the girl before her who seemed hesitant to say something.

“What's up? Just say, no need to be harbored.”

“I ... want to ask you for one thing.” Fiona paused her speech, she let go of her hand on the tray and hid her hand behind the dress. “What are you, don't want to finish them all?”

His originally relaxed gaze turned flat, Ethelyne stared coldly at Fiona. “What do you mean by that?”

Cold sweat appeared to be pouring down the girl's forehead. “I don't understand either, I suddenly remembered with Madame Earlene upon seeing the humans. I was devastated when I learned that humans killed Madame Earlene vilely, I.” Fiona paused her speech, with her purple eye color. He stared right at Ethelyne's red eyes. “Didn't it hurt so much, so pathetic.” His originally trembling tone suddenly turned cold, the look on his face could not be read at all. Only a mysterious smile was displayed by the girl. “Why do you maintain the offspring of the man who killed your mother? Even though you and Madam have different blood, but you are still Madam's biological daughter. Wasn't it painful to see the Madam die at the hands of the humans she had trusted all this time, the Madam even sacrificed herself in order to lure the Demon King's heart and kill him. And when he succeeded, he was instead tragically killed.” Fiona put the tray on the table and walked towards Ethelyne, she whispered softly. “Nona Ethelyne is precious to you, isn't it? You also know, if Miss likes a human whose ancestors killed your mother. What if, Miss was also killed like Madame Earlene? Tragically killed when he had just completed his mission, wasn't it really sad.”

Ethelyne's red eyes seemed to tremble at Fiona's every utterance, her hands and knees squeezing. He never imagined such a thing would happen, but what if what Fiona said was true? What if the Iceworld Prince approached his saint soul just for the sake of revenge.

Fiona who saw the plan managed to smile in satisfaction, she stepped back and smiled faintly with squinting eyes. “Think carefully, Your Majesty,” press it at the end of his sentence, he picked up the tray on the table and turned around then walked out without another word. ‘Done, with suspicion on Miss Ethel's day. Then my next job will be easier, huh. Even though you've lived for hundreds of years, you're still very innocent. Ethelyne Blisterzz.’

“Hasn't His Majesty's attitude lately become strange?”

“Yes, he is not as usual. Every day he would meet with the captives whom he deliberately separated, but in these three days. He did not visit or check their condition at all.”

“Could it be because His Majesty is bored?”

“True yes too, after all. To His Majesty, humans like them are just toys that can be thrown away at will.”

“If Your Majesty really threw them away and made them into wolf food, you may not. I took? After all, it seemed like the girl's blood was very fragrant. I almost lost control in the hall where the party took place.”

“You're right, the smell of the girl's blood is really very alluring to us demons.”
