The Queen Of The Demon World
88. Traps

“Stop there, Your Majesty!!”

“Aaa!! Please stop following me!!” ethelyne shouted as she ran down the hallway of the palace as well as turning occasionally, she turned her head towards Loreen who had yet to give up on chasing after her. ‘What's my fault anyway, until chased all out by him.’ Ethelyne hid in an empty room with a gasp of breath, he felt very exhausted after running around almost the entire palace.

“Your Majesty, where are you?”

Ethelyne immediately goosebumps when she hears Loreen's approaching voice and footsteps and stays in front of the room where she is hiding.

“Your Majesty, stop playing cat and mouse. You should try all the dresses that have been prepared specifically for the welcoming ceremony.”

The sound of knocking on the door made Ethelyne startled, he stared at the door before him.

‘What welcoming ceremony! You just want me to try on dozens of clothes, right!’ inner Ethelyne nagged, she almost died of exhaustion just from trying every model of specially designed clothes.

“Your Majesty, open the door or I will ask Mr. Gareth to break down the door.”

‘Please, please. Hopefully no one will come and help Loreen.’ Ethelyne held her hands together in front of her chest while closing her eyes.

“Loh, Miss Loreen? What are you doing here.”

Ethelyne cursed when he heard Leyton's voice, what a pesky fate today.

“Ah, Mr. Leyton. Look, we're preparing a dress for His Majesty to wear in the welcoming address. But he ran away and hid in this room.”

‘Hei! You want to kill me with those super hot and heavy dresses!’ Ethelyne booed while hearing the babbling of the two gender-different men from behind the door. ‘Hah, hopefully Leyton doesn't help Loreen.’

“Oh, so yes. Do I need help?”

“Really?” asked Loreen excitedly, she was really already desperate with that attitude of her Queen.

“Yes, no problem. So, do I need to burn this door to ashes?”

“Hahaha, there is no need to get there. I just want to ask for help that you break down this door and help me bring His Majesty back.”

“Ok, alright.”

Ethelyne who was in the room immediately goosebumps, he stared at the entire room but the room he was in was completely empty and there was only dust on the thick floor. It was clear that the room had not been treated for a long time.

“One, two ... three.”

On the count of three, the door was broken. Just as the door opened, a swamp appeared under that foot and instantly sucked Ethelyne and disappeared without the slightest trace.

“Eum, Miss Loreen. There's no one here.”

“How possible, obviously. His Majesty ...” Loreen who walked in immediately fell silent, he was now muffling his anger that wanted to explode. ‘Don't you, His Majesty used teleportation magic and disappeared somewhere??’ Loreen smiled creepily. ‘I make sure, after returning later. You will try all those dresses at the same time!’

Leyton who was standing next to him instantly goosebumps when he saw the smile on Loreen's face. ‘May Your Majesty be fine when he returns later.’

’Eugh, pain once.’ Ethelyne got up while holding her aching head, she stared at the unfamiliar room around her. ‘What is this place? The basement? But I don't remember there's a basement under that room.’ Ethelyne stood up and patted her dirty dress, she looked around with a flat face. ‘This place ... why does it feel like I'm familiar with this place.’

“Hoh, it turns out that the Queen of darkness was hit by the device yes.” £

Ethelyne stared around the room, unable to confirm the origin of the sound that echoed throughout the room. “Who are you! If you dare, show yourself!”

“Hng, how could you not recognize my voice. Dark queen.” £

Ethelyne was silent and trying to remember the voice that was now echoing in the palace, she held her aching head. ‘I don't remember anything, who spoke it? Why is he acting as if he is familiar with me?’

“Cih, it looks like you've completely forgotten me. Didn't you some time ago, you sent your servants and soldiers to come to my place and finish me off.”

‘Stopped?’ Ethelyne's face looked puzzled, but a second later. His face turned horror.

“Hahaha, looks like you already remember.”

“Cih, it turns out you. I didn't expect you to be too cowardly, even you wouldn't appear before me.”

The wind blew fiercely towards Ethelyne, her brown hair flying. The girl stared into a large dark hallway before her.

The ground he was treading on suddenly shook as if an earthquake had occurred, bit by bit. A large animal came out from that dark large hallway.

“Because I am not a coward like your father,” said a dragon with red eyes, his scales were brownish gold accompanied by a pair of wings on his back.

“Heh, really?” Ethelyne smiled faintly, she unceremoniously aimed the black fireball towards the dragon.

But while in the middle of the road, the black fireball suddenly disappeared.

Instead of being surprised, Ethelyne smiled. “You are strong as usual.”

“But it looks like your power is weakening, Queen of darkness.”

“Yeah, how ya. Half the soul in my body is destroyed.”

The dragon's red eyes seemed to narrow. “Half the soul you mean it, lest ..”

“Truely, the holy soul in my body has been destroyed and disappeared.”

“Simply your strength is weakened.”

“Wait, wait! Why do you talk like this!” ethelyne said frustratedly himself. “Already, there is not much time. I was forced to kill and take your soul core by force!”

“Sorry once, Queen of darkness. But with your strength now, I'm not sure you can beat me.”

“Hng, don't underestimate as the Queen of darkness!” Ethelyne raised his hand forward and attacked with lightning magic, but like a black fireball before. The lightning magic disappeared in the middle of the road. He's clucking. ‘This strength is quite annoying and troublesome as well yes, but the harder the opponent. It will be even more effective!’

~~~♥~~~

“Sorry, Sir. I can't feel the presence of the Demon Queen anywhere.”

“How can! He couldn't possibly disappear from this world!”

“I'm really sorry, Sir. But I really can't feel the existence of the Demon Queen's magic anywhere, there are only two possibilities. First, the Queen was surrounded by a powerful and impenetrable energy. The second, the Queen has ... died.”

Murry clucked, he turned around and walked away. “Continue tracking her whereabouts, send Mika when you find her location.”

“Good.”

‘Basic of that foolish girl, who else is she bothering until her whereabouts cannot be detected at all?? Cih, it looks like I have to intervene alone. Really sucks!’

“Oh, Mr. Murry. Where do you want to go?” asked William who happened to cross paths with Murry.

“Ke underworld.”

“Eh? What's?! Wh-what for?? You will not destroy the underworld! Please hold your anger and do nothing in the underworld!!”

“You're this ... overthinking.”
