The Queen Of The Demon World
91. Illusion of Death (2)

‘Eadric?’ Ethelyne held her head back in pain, for some reason. Appeared a black and white reminder in his mind at a glance. ‘Why does that name sound familiar? Have I heard of it? But where?’

“Hah, you must be very scared right.” Glory crossed her chest with a satisfied smile. “Of course, my fiancee is the most powerful and powerful person in the world,” she said proudly despite the cold sweat on her face.

Ethelyne glanced coldly at Glory, she lowered her hands and looked at the girl sharply. “Oh, really?”

Glory who was intimidated with that gaze immediately stepped back with a look of fear. “You, what do you want??”

Ethelyne stepped towards Glory with a slow step. “Do you think?” He raised his hand, for some reason. Suddenly a lotus tattoo appeared on the back of his hand along with the appearance of dark flames floating on his palm.

“B-how can you use dark magic?? Don't-don't, you. You are it, demon!!”

“Ah, really?” Ethelyne continued to step forward along with Glory's retreating steps.

The insecure Glory turned around and fled, Ethelyne who saw that directed a dark flame towards the girl. But someone had already patted him on the shoulder and made him realize, the dark fire in his hand instantly disappeared along with the fading lotus tattoo.

“Loh, what happened?” ask Ethelyne while looking right-left. “Erik? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be accompanying Tina.” He looked at Erik who was standing behind him and patted the shoulder earlier.

“Ah, you're taking too long. So Tina thinks to take you there, how's your headache?”

Ethelyne smiled sweetly. “I'm fine, we better see Tina soon or she'll be nagging later.” He walked over and passed by Erik in a hasty step. ‘Huh, make it a shock. But why did Erik suddenly appear? And I thought I was sitting down, weird. Has my brain been so damaged that I forget things in just seconds?’

Erik who was left alone was still motionless. ‘What happened to him earlier? Indeed, lately. Lyne's getting weird, is Lyne okay? Would it be better to report to Her Majesty the empress?’

“Lyne! I hear you met Glory today. Are you all right? He didn't hurt you, did he? Do you feel pain?” asked the blonde-haired lady while looking at Ethelyne seriously, she's the royal consort of Gizeweith. Envuella Fiona.

“Ih, mother! I'm fine, anyway. I'm not that weak until I can be defeated by a girl like Glory!”

Fiona seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she led Ethelyne to sit beside her. “You really worried mom, baby. Are you really okay? If necessary, I will ask Sir Leo to escort you.”

“Mother!” whine Ethelyne. “Lyne doesn't like being escorted, I know. Lyne feels uncomfortable being watched over by others!”

“But baby, it would be dangerous if you stayed outside alone. And also, if it wasn't for Erik. You definitely won't tell Mom about your meeting with Glory.”

“It's just a trivial matter, Mom. Why tell mom?”

“Boho~ my son forgot his mother after big,” said Fiona as dramatic as possible.

“Mother, not like that. Please stop crying.”

“Tomatoes! You made mom cry again yeah!” Suddenly, a man in royal typical clothes opened the door violently while shouting.

Ethelyne who saw that rolled her eyes lazily, the handsome man stepped towards Fiona and hugged her while looking at Ethelyne annoyed.

“You always make mom cry! You must be put to death!” said the man dramatized.

“Kakak, stop acting. Mom too, until when do you want to harass me anyway?”

The man who had been pretending to cry clucked, the two took off his arms from Fiona. “At least follow the drama, you don't see mom worrying about you so much.”

Ethelyne sighed, she crouched down in front of Fiona. “Mother, I know how I behave. I won't get hurt even if there's no Erik or Sir Leo near me, after all. I can take care of myself, ma'am.”

“Gavin, you see. Your sister is no longer willing to listen to mother's words, she should be punished!” Fiona looked at the man named Gavin Envuella.

“True Bu, he must be punished!” gavin said in support.

Ethelyne took a deep breath, she looked at the two with teary eyes. “This time ..”

“What is this?” asked the man in the knight uniform, both of them stepped in towards the three.

“Boho~ dad, Sister to 1. Sister 2 and Mother bullied me, Boho~” Ethelyne wiped away her natural tears.

The man immediately stared intently at Gavin.

“No brother, that's not true. Lyne was pretending, mom and I never bullied her.”

“So you think, Lyneku lied??” Instead of easing, the sharp gaze of the man actually looked at Gavin as if ready to slash the man's neck at any time.

“T-not like that brother, I. I didn't say Lyne was lying,” Gavin said.

“Then?” The man clasped his chest with a sharp gaze still directed at Gavin, while the middle-aged man sat down beside the Empress and rubbed Ethelyne's hair.

“A-I, he meant ..” Gavin glanced at Ethelyne who was laughing silently. ‘Lyne shit!’

“What huh?”

“I-it, it's all just a misunderstanding. Yes, it is true. Lyne.” Gavin turned his gaze to Ethelyne, he stared begging the girl.

In a giggle, Ethelyne nodded small. He closed his mouth but still could not ease his laughter when he saw Gavin's pinched expression.

“So it turns out.” The man turned his eyes towards his other family. “Omong-by the way, tumben once you all gather here. What's the problem?”

“Not a serious problem kok.” Ethelyne stood up and pushed one chair closer, and then sat the man down.

“You don't need to do that, what if you get hurt?”

“I'm fine anyway. I'm a great girl, right, I'm even-”

“Xander! Anyway, Lyne should be escorted 24 hours!!” fiona said hang directly cut off Ethelyne's speech.

“Actually what is Bu?”

“Do you not know?? Lyne accidentally met Glory this afternoon, what if the girl hurt Lyne?? You won't let her live a quiet life if you get her beloved Lyne hurt even if it's just a bruise!”

“What?? Lyne, are you hurt? Over where? Does it still hurt? What's bleeding?”

Ethelyne who was back in the back and forth just stared panted. “I'm fine, Brother. I wasn't hurt at all, not even a bit.”

“Really?” Xander stared at the nodding investigator Ethelyne, he looked into the focus of the girl's eyes and tried to find a lie but failed. “Huh, fine if you're not hurt. But Sir Leo and Sir Rey will protect you 24 hours, Brother will send them here soon.”

“Ihh! No need~ Lyne can take care of yourself!”
