The Queen Of The Demon World
95. Illusion of Death (6)

“Jesus tomato, what's wrong with you??” gavin asked in surprise, he immediately checked if his beloved sister was injured. Gavin breathed a sigh of relief after not seeing the slightest blisters or wounds on his sister's body, he looked at Erik while shaking his waist. “What is this?? Didn't you guys just leave us both, and after you get back. Tomatoes can't even stand!”

“I can't stand! My legs are just cramping because of a few things.”

“You didn't lie to brother, did you, tomato??” Gavin looked seriously at Ethelyne who was nodding with a look of her innocent face.

The girl was looking for someone. “Where is Tina? Wasn't she with sister?”

“He was called by Duke to come home, you too. Quickly go home or Tina will be in trouble because you guys left together.”

“Ok, please take care of Lyne for a moment. I'll be right back.” Erik turned around and walked away leaving the two brothers.

Ethelyne looked at Gavin who kept watching Erik. “Kakak doesn't like .. Erik right?”

“Hah?? Whatchu mean! You think my brain is shorted to like a fellow man?? If I may, I'd rather marry Tin-Khem, I mean. I'd rather not get married than be with her.”

“Oh, so yes. I think big brother likes it because big brother has been watching him since.”

“A--”

“What are these storms?”

The two turned to the origin of the voice, Xander in a Knight uniform and the sword at his waist walked towards them with his trademark flat face look.

“First sister, why is sister here?”

“I went to the palace to talk to Dad about supplies to the battlefield, why yourself? Does your leg hurt?”

“Ah, it's okay. My legs are just a little cramp, soon to be cured.” Ethelyne smiled sweetly.

But different from Xander who frowned. “Kram?” He glanced at Gavin with a sharp gaze, his hand holding the sword hilt. “What are you ..” He pulled the sword on his waist and pointed it right at the surprised neck of Gavin. “That makes Lyne hurt??”

“No, sis. I didn't do anything, I swear! I, I saw Erik holding Lyne home. So it's possible that before that his legs were already cramping.”

Xander turned his gaze toward Ethelyne. “What is true?”

The girl nodded innocently, Xander sighed. He lowered his sword and put it back into the sword sheath that was on his waist. “Call the masseuse to Lyne's room, I'll take her there.”

“Good, good. I'll be there soon!” Gavin left quickly.

“Lyne,” call Xander after making sure Gavin goes.

“Em? What's up, sister?”

“Do you ... feel something strange?”

“Hm? Weird how?” ethelyne asked puzzledly, she did not understand what Xander said at all.

“I mean, like. You feel something strange with you or maybe, someone's memories appear,” said Xander hesitated.

“No doubt, why did you suddenly ask something strange?” Ethelyne looked at Xander in confusion. ‘Why did sister suddenly ask him? He doesn't usually ask unimportant questions, really. There were often memories of someone on my mind, I didn't know that person myself. But I don't think it's dangerous, anyway. I still don't understand who the blue-haired guy that knocked me unconscious was, so. I better shut up and not tell Big Brother until I know what happened to me.’

“Oh, so yes.” Xander smiled faintly, Ethelyne looked at him full of question marks.

“Why does sister look relieved? Does a person's memory appear it is a disease or anything?”

“No, it's okay. Let me take you to your room, Gavin must have been waiting there.”

“Good.”

‘What do these memories mean? Who exactly am I? Is that really my memory? Then why don't I find people in my memories in this world, they feel familiar but also foreign to me.’ Ethelyne leaned back as she stared at the ceiling of her room, she was completely clueless with the memories the blue-haired man had shown. “I don't understand myself.”

While daydreaming, the sound of knocking on the door blew his daydream. Ethelyne stared straight at the door with no interest. “Who?”

“Excuse me, Princess. Prince of the kingdom of Victoria would like to meet you.”

Ethelyne sighed. “Please him in.”

With a slow step, Eadric walked in and stood in front of Ethelyne.

“There is a need what the third Prince found me?” ask Ethelyne in a formal tone.

“What ... have you heard of five-color flowers?”

“Five color flowers? What flower is that? Do the flowers have five different colors? Is it very pretty??” Ethelyne stood up and said excitedly, he had indeed seen the colorful flowers in the middle of the forest garden earlier. But he never knew there was one flower that had a different color in each petal.

“Iya.” Eadric smiled faintly, for some reason. His face looked sad and incomprehensible. “I want to show you, but it's a pity. I can't bring him here.”

“What is the flower growing in the kingdom of Victoria?? If there really is, may I come along to see it!”

“Maybe, but are you sure? You might not be able to come back here again.”

The look on his originally enthusiastic face turned puzzled. “What, you mean? Why can't I go back to my kingdom again?”

“Because ... when you go to the world - I mean the kingdom of Victoria, then you will not be able to return again.”

“What do you mean exactly?? Why can't I go back?!”

“Because, there is no way left when you go to the palace of Victoria.”

Ethelyne sat down while massaging her temple. “I don't understand what you're saying at all! Besides, I'll be able to get through the road you walked down here. What a hard thing, if you do not want to show it is not necessary. At least don't make me so hopeful and then break my expectations!”

“Why can't you understand, Ethel,” muttered Eadric while looking down.

“Listen, third prince of Victoria!” Ethelyne stood up and stared flat at Eadric. “I am the princess of the kingdom of Gezeweith! Although you're a prince of the Victorian kingdom, but here. You're just a guest! So please don't be your manners and don't be familiar with me, other than that. My nickname is Lyne, besides. Only the closest people can call me that! So, please come out now!!” He pointed towards the door that was wide open.

“Ethel, actually ..”

“Enough! Get out of my room right now!!” ethelyne shouted furiously.

With a sad face, Eadric walked out. He glanced at Ethelyne before closing the door.

Ethelyne sat down and massaged his temple. ‘Is he really the third prince of the kingdom of Victoria?? Why is he saying such a weird and annoying thing! After all, where there may be flowers with colorful petals. You idiot! You're so stupid Lyne, you shouldn't have believed her. He it was just bragging!’ He sighed. “I'm so tired, make it a habit to take a break even for a moment? Don't think of anything and really rest in peace.” Ethelyne smiled smirkily. ‘Maybe it can, but after that. I won't be able to wake up again.’
