The Queen Of The Demon World
92. Illusion of Death (3)

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

Ethelyne who was originally looking for the whereabouts of the girl walked to the origin of the voice, she looked at Tina who was smiling happily with the paper bag that filled her two hands.

“It looks like you bought a lot of dresses huh, do you need my help?”

“No need! Do you know where Brother Erik is? He promised to come today, but I've been waiting for him for a long time but he didn't come too.” Tina bulged her cheeks with an annoyed look on her face.

“Don't know, he's usually with Joshua. Didn't you see Joshua either?”

Tina shakes. “They went where? Though I thought they were both with Brother Lyne because they both disappeared since this morning, huh.”

“It's possible that the two met Brother Xander, after all. I heard there will be a war on the border and they are preparing everything. Perhaps Joshua and Erik were summoned to the palace to arrange a war strategy.”

“Hem, true too. By the way, who are those handsome brothers?” tina asked as she glanced at the two handsome men in Knight uniforms.

“Oh, they are? They're knights who will escort us temporarily, the green-haired man named Sir Rey and the gray-haired one named Sir Leo.”

“Hello, Sir Rey. Sir Leo, I'm Tina,” Tina said with a sweet smile and a waving hand.

However, the two knights were just staring at him flat expressionlessly. Let alone expression, replying to her introductions just don't.

Tina put on a sullen look, she looked at Ethelyne with a clear look.

“Yes, both are so. Let's go buy some snacks, you must be hungry after shopping many things right.” Ethelyne pulls Tina into a restaurant followed by the two Knights from behind.

Without the four of them noticing, a blue-haired handsome man was standing behind a tree not far from where the two were talking. ‘It turns out you're here, holy soul.’

Ethelyne was pacing back and forth in her room, it had been three weeks since the ritual began. But he had not received any news from the spirits or William, let alone him who could not enter the forest of the spirits as usual.

‘How is this?? Is the ritual going well? Why is there no news at all??’

“Your Majesty, you why? You look worried.”

Ethelyne gasped in surprise, she looked at Meli with a stiff smile. “A-I'm fine, I'm thinking about. Think ... about this government! Yes, I was thinking about this kingdom.”

“Alright-lah~ do you need anything?”

“No, no. I don't need anything.” Ethelyne sat down while picking up the files on the table and pretending to read them, she occasionally glanced at Meli who was standing next to the door. ‘Find out a way for Meli to leave quickly, think. Think, think!! Meli can't know about Ethelyne's resurrection!’

The sound of a knock on the door distracts the two, Ethelyne thumping and staring at Meli.

“Please prepare hot chocolate for me.”

“Good, Your Highness.” Meli bent down and walked out, she had a glance at Mili who was standing in front of the door while whistling.

After making sure Meli really left, then Mili walked in.

“What's up? Is there any news?”

“Yah, how did ya tell him.” Mili scratched her non-itchy cheeks. “Khem, look. His generating ritual goes perfectly.”

“Huuh, thankfully.”

“But .. The soul of the sacred lady is stuck in the time dimension.”

“What?”

“Ya.” Mili looked seriously at Ethelyne. “Thanks to the help of the legendary Dragon Lord and Lord William, it should be that the Lady can be resurrected in the near future. But since his soul was trapped, he could not be instantly resurrected or there was only an empty body with no soul at all. Besides it--”

“Wait, wait! Didn't Murry say it took five years to resurrect, while it's only been three weeks since the ritual began.”

“Ya, actually originally it was.” Mili held her chin.

“True once.” Mili looked at Ethelyne with a serious look. “But because of Endear's fucking soul core, his generation can be done early. But because it's stuck in dimensions, so it seems. It will be difficult to resurrect it.”

“Ah, why so many problems happened?!” Ethelyne ruffled her hair in frustration, she stood up and pulled Mili out.

“Loh, Your Grace. Miss Mili, where are you going? I have ...” Meli no longer continue her words because Ethelyne and Mili who had already disappeared from her sight, she let out a long sigh. ‘What happened to His Majesty and Miss?’

~~~♥~~~

“Lyne, what's up? You've been daydreaming lately,” said Gavin as he patted Ethelyne's dreamy shoulder.

“I'm fine, sis.” Ethelyne smiled more and more likely, she lowered her head and looked at both of her hands. ‘I just feel so weird, I feel like I'm tied to something. But what?’

“I heard, you and Erik are going on a date today.” Gavin pulled the nearest chair and sat down, he scrambled Ethelyne's hair. “What's that why you daydream?”

“Not a date! Besides, there will be Tina later.” Ethelyne sighed.

“Oh, so that's why you look so pouty and uninspired?” gavin asked with a seductive smile. “What if I take Tina for a walk so you two-”

“Already brother.” Ethelyne stood up and walked out. “I don't want to go anywhere or do anything.”

‘What happened to the little girl?’

~~~♥~~~

“Mr Princess, do you need anything?” ask a woman in a typical waiter's outfit.

Ethelyne, who was busy with the books in her hand, shook her head without looking at the servant. “No need, you come out. If mom or anyone is looking for me, just let me know that I'm on a break and don't want to be found.”

“What ... including Mr Erik too?” ask the waiter hesitantly.

Ethelyne was silent for a moment, she closed the book in her hand and picked up another book.

“Mr Princess?”

“Yes, don't let anyone bother me. Including Erik.”

“I understand, if you need anything. Please call me.” The waiter bowed respectfully and walked out.

Ethelyne placed the stack of books on the table and sat down on the chair, she picked up one medical book and read it. ‘I have to find out what happened to me, if I have an illness. There should be a way to cure my illness right, and surely everything is recorded in the medical books at the palace.’

Ten hours passed without realizing it, Ethelyne had read three medical books but could not confirm the illness she was suffering from now. He clucked while massaging his temples dizzy. ‘I didn't see him anything useful, wasn't there in the medical book? Could it be in another book?’ Ethelyne stood up and walked towards the shelf full of books, she stared at all the books meticulously. His eyes accidentally caught a thick book with an untitled black cover.

Ethelyne picked up the book, she had enough trouble picking it up because it was flanked by two other thick books. In addition, the place is high enough to make Ethelyne quite difficult to reach the book.

Ethelyne ruffled her waist while looking around, she walked up to the chair and pushed it close to the book's notch. After making sure it was safe, Ethelyne got on the chair and picked up the black-coated book.

A satisfied smile rose on his face as his hand managed to reach for the book, but from not being careful. The chair he stepped on suddenly shattered without cause and made him fall.
