The Queen Of The Demon World
53. Meeting Between Rulers

“Your Majesty, snob! The soldiers guarding the border reported about the appearance of the horde of demons walking towards Starlaxy City!”

“Hem, it turns out the Demon Queen is moving faster than expected. Immediately order the soldiers to get ready at the border!”

“Good, Your Majesty!” The soldier immediately ran out.

Iceworld King clucked. “This is all because of that stupid kid! If only he could negotiate with the Demon Queen, I could use him to tear down another kingdom. Basic useless child!”

“Your Majesty, are you really going to follow this war?” ask Harvey.

Ethelyne who was working on important documents glanced at him at a glance. “Yes, that's it. I heard, the seven Demon Lords want to hold a meeting. Is that true?”

“Yes, Your Grace. The Demon Lords don't like the way you attack humans directly, moreover. In the daytime that will make our troops die.”

“Hah, that's stupid. What they think, I will do war without preparation.” Ethelyne stood up and walked towards Harvey, he stopped beside the man and patted him on the shoulder. “You will lead an army of demons to attack humans, if the atmosphere becomes chaotic. Tell me to use tracking magic.”

“Good, Your Majesty. I will make sure the demon army can return with victory.”

“Good spirit.” Ethelyne walks past Harvey. “Take Leyton, Gareth, and Verlin with you.”

“As per your order!”

Ethelyne passed through the deserted palace hallway as usual. ‘If it really works, then the Iceworld kingdom will be easy to drop. And also, when I beheaded the Iceworld King and offered it to Mother. It's possible that Mom will be able to calm down and reincarnate.’ He touched his chest. “Mother, I hope we can remain mother and son in the next life.”

“Your Majesty!!”

Ethelyne looked back, she looked at Meli who was running in a frenzy towards her.

“Aibi? What was? Why does Aunt look so angry?”

“How not?! You want to go to the battlefield! The battlefield is not something that can be completed in just a single snap of a finger, you have no idea how dangerous the battlefield is! What if you come back with a wound? What if the Madam sees you from above and nags at you who is always stubborn?!” tanya Meli followed by an endless tirade.

“Aibi, relax. I won't die easily.” Ethelyne tried to calm Meli's rampage, who told her aunt that she was going to the battlefield.

“How can I calm down?? You're going to the battlefield and fight humans, humans! What's more. You do it during the day?? Don't you know, the devil can't-”

“Auntie, I know everything!” Ethelyne clasped Meli's hands together and made the woman instantly silent. “I'll never do anything I can't win, Auntie. Listen to me, I'm gonna win this war. Aunty just needs to trust me and not have to think about anything else!”

“But ..”

“Omong-by the way, who told aunt that I was going to the battlefield?”

“Ah, that's yes? Mili who told me, she met me this morning and chatted long about you.”

‘That damn girl! I'll make sure I bury you in the middle of the dark forest when I get back!’ inner Ethelyne growled.

“Your Highness,” call Meli suddenly.

“Ah, what's up?”

“Your Majesty, I hope. You can come back safely and win.”

Ethelyne was speechless, she hugged Meli with a faint smile. “No need to worry, Auntie. I will return safely to Aunt and ... My daughter,” muttered at the end of the sentence.

Meli hugged Ethelyne back while holding back her tears. “I know, you will definitely win and come back,” he said in a vibrating voice.

“Auntie, as long as I'm gone. I want Bibi to guard this palace, don't let anyone in without aunt's permission. If Aunty doesn't know them, aunty can throw them out. Auntie doesn't have to worry about anything, because I. Won't let anyone hurt aunt in the slightest.”

~~~♥~~~

“How are the movements of the Iceworld kingdom warriors?” ask Harvey.

“Man marches across the border and seems to be starting to gather troops, what should we do next. General?”

“Kita--”

“It looks like everything went smoothly yes.”

Harvey and Gareth turned to the origin of the voice, both of them immediately kneeling with one foot as a pedestal.

“Sorry not to be aware of your presence, Your Highness.”

“Nothing, how to prepare?”

“Yes, everything went well. If everything goes as you think, then we can win easily.”

“Good work, doesn't seem to need my help. So I'm going back to the palace, I'm waiting for good news from you guys.” Ethelyne turned around and waved her hand as she walked out, a portal suddenly appeared in front of her. Ethelyne entered the portal and right after that the portal seemed to be sucked into the middle of the portal and disappeared.

“We will make sure that the demon warrior returns with victory.”

~~~♥~~~

“What is this?” ethelyne asked as she tapped on the table, she glanced at the men who became Demon Lords.

“Your Majesty, isn't it too hasty to go to war with humans now? Either way, we demons can't stand the sun's rays. You do it now is the same as finishing off all your troops.” The blond-haired handsome man stood up and began to speak while staring at the other men who nodded confirming.

“Then?”

“So, if you can. You must withdraw our troops back.”

Ethelyne leaned back while looking at him flatly. “So, you doubt my decision?”

“I can't possibly think of it, just--egh!” A black smoke suddenly emerged from under the table and choked him, his legs and hands held back by the black smoke and unable to move let alone rebel.

“Better you keep quiet if you want to stay alive.” Ethelyne looked at the other demon lord, she propped up her chin. “Do you guys say anything?”

They were silent and did not answer, their heads were bowed and no one dared to raise their heads.

“If I ask, answer!”

“M-forgive us, Your Majesty. We have been wrong for following him, please forgive us!” they all stood up and immediately prostrated.

“This time I set you free, but if it repeats itself. Don't think about surviving.” Ethelyne stood up to coincide with the black smoke that started to dissipate. “Meeting today is finished here, you all can return to your respective kingdoms.” He walked out without a second thought.

“Good!” they answered in unison, except for the blond man.

The blond man clucked, he stared at the door that had been closed. “She thought, just because she was the chosen one. He can rule over all the dark worlds? In the end, he will also die like the previous Demon King.”

“Jaga speak! We're still in his palace,” reprimand the handsome brunette man.

The blonde-haired man clucked back, he tidied up his slightly tangled clothes.
