The Queen Of The Demon World
93. Illusion of Death (4)

“Aww,” ringis Ethelyne while holding his back that feels pain, but the pain in his back is not felt when the book he is looking for is now in his hands. Ethelyne stood up and looked at the book in her hand with a satisfied smile.

He turned around and stepped towards his chair, but as he was not focused looking he could. He hit someone and almost fell down, fortunately. The man swiftly hugged his waist until he did not fall a second time.

“Huuh, thank .. thanks.” Ethelyne stared in admiration at the handsome man's face before her, however. What made him feel strange was the jet-black hair and purple eyes that were staring at him coldly. ‘Why do I feel familiar with this man? When did I meet him? I thought, she's not from the palace.’ The awakened Ethelyne immediately retreated with an awkward smile. “Ah, h-hello.”

The man looked at Ethelyne with a frown, he stared at the appearance of the girl in front of him meticulously. “Ethelyne?”

“Eh, do you know me?” ethelyne asked as she pointed to herself. ‘When? I don't think we've ever met.’

As if he was awake, the man cleared his throat. “I heard that from the waiters, nice to meet you. Princess Ethelyne Envuella, I am the prince of the Victorian Kingdom. Eadric Desberado.” Eadric saluted.

Ethelyne just smiled stiffly. ‘What's he Glory's fiancee?’ mind thinks.

“I did not expect that Mr. Princess liked the book about medical.” Eadric glanced at the books piled up on the table.

“Ah, about the book yes.” Ethel looked towards the book. “I'm looking for something, by the way. Why are you here? You should have met the Mother-Emperor and His Majesty the King right?”

“I did want to see His Majesty the King, but I was lost because I did not know the way.”

“Oh, so ya?” muttered Ethelyne who was somehow a little incredulous. “Then, what if I drop off?”

“An honor for me.”

Ethelyne smiled. “Please pass here.” He walked out of the library followed by Eadric. ‘That's weird, isn't he being ushered in by his subordinates? After all, there are a lot of servants that pass by. Why didn't he ask and instead got lost to the library?’. Ethelyne glanced at Eadric warily. ‘What need-’

“Oh, Lyne. You are here.”

Ethelyne regained her senses, she stared at the origin of the voice with a sweet smile. “Erik, are you alone? Where is Tina?” he asked as Erik stood before him.

“Tina yes? He's buying snacks with Sir Rey, who are you with? She looks foreign.”

“Oh, he's yes. His name is Eadric, he's from Victoria.”

“Ah, Third Prince of Victoria's work huh?” Erik bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Erik Frastivoz, Son of Duke Frastivoz.”

“Eadric Desberado,” said Eadric flatly, he turned his gaze towards Ethelyne. “It looks like you guys know enough ya.”

“Not only know loh.”

The three turned to the origin of the voice, with relaxed steps. Tina walked towards the three while enjoying the chocolate pudding she was carrying.

“My brother and sister-in-law are fiancees, and the two are getting married in four months. Both are very compatible no,” Tina said as she embraced Ethelyne's shoulder with one hand again holding her chocolate pudding.

“Tina, take care of your manners. And again, don't call me Sister-in-law!”

“It's okay, anyway. Brother and sister-in-law are getting married soon, so sister will be my sister-in-law in four months.”

“Stop calling me sister-in-law!” Ethelyne flicked Tina's forehead until it turned red. “You want me to be your sister-in-law right?”

Tina nodded with a funny face.

“So be quiet and don't talk much, understand!”

Tina nodded back. “Good.” She smiled sweetly. “I'll obey Brother's orders.”

Ethelyne smiled, she turned her gaze towards Erik. “I'll take Prince Eadric to see Dad, you and Tina wait for me in the glass room.”

“Ok, be careful yes.” Tina waved her hand while pulling Erik away.

“Sorry for making you see things you shouldn't, please follow me.” Ethelyne walked first followed by Eadric from behind.

‘Tactualty? Since when was Ethel engaged to the man?’

“What was this guy from Victoria kingdom?” gavin asked as he caught up with Ethelyne who was walking out after dropping off Eadric.

“Hem, that's it. Why did you ask?”

“It's okay, I just feel weird with the color of his eyes. Isn't the eye color of the prince of the kingdom of Victoria is yellow, why he himself is purple.”

“Maybe his eyes are the same as his mother's,” said Ethelyne indifferently, he stopped and made Gavin come to a stop. The girl looked at Gavin seriously. “Where are you going? Feelings, from now on. Brother just follows me on deh.”

“Yeah, get caught deh.” Gavin scratched his non-itchy head. “I don't know where to go, so let me come with you huh. I promise, I won't bother you.”

“No want! It's good, I want-”

“Ihh! Well, if you want to come along. No need to take Erik!”

With an annoyed look, Ethelyne walked away.

“Hei, tomato! Wait for me!” Gavin runs after Ethelyne, who is getting further away.

Again, the blue-haired man appeared from the wall like a ghost that could penetrate anything. He looked towards Gavin who was catching up with Ethelyne. ‘What's he cause the holy Soul don't want to go back to the real world?’

“Stop following me, stupid brother!!”

The man turned his gaze towards Ethelyne, the sound of the girl's screams even sounding up to his ears. He sighed. ‘It looks like it will be difficult to bring him back.’

~~~♥~~~

“Kak Lyne, over here!” Tina waved her hand while shouting.

Ethelyne smiled and walked towards Tina and Erik followed by Gavin who was now like a chick who was following her sister.

“Loh, Brother Gavin also came huh?” Tina smiled sweetly. “How is Brother? Long time no see.”

“Ah, h-hello. Long time no see, you look more beautiful.” Gavin turned his slightly reddened face.

Tina smiled very sweetly. “Kakak is also getting handsome, surely big brother is liked by many girls right.”

“Yeah, that's it.” Gavin scratched his non-itchy head, he smiled shyly.

Ethelyne and Erik just silently watched the interaction of the two, Ethelyne until he closed his mouth in surprise. He looked at Erik who was also staring at him. ‘Since when is Brother and Tina close?’ his mind speaks through the eyes.

Erik shrugged his shoulders not knowing. ‘Perhaps when going to the boutique at that time.’

Ethelyne was just ooh, she walked up to Erik slowly so as not to disturb the two couples who were pdkt. “How about we go and let them talk?” whispered slowly.

Without saying anything, Erik clasped Ethelyne's hands gently and pulled her away.

“Where do you want to take me?” ethelyne asked after making sure the two were away from Gavin and Tina.

Erik looked at her and smiled. “Follow it, I'm sure you like this place.”

“Eh~ is not cool at all, at least. Tell me where you're taking me!”

“Shut up or I leave it here!”
