Chapter 234: 234 - I Am Worried.

Luna approached Meduz and tried to drive the wooden stake through his chest, but Meduz easily tilted her body to the side to avoid the stake. After that, she grabbed Luna's arm with her right hand.

And with her left hand, Meduz grabbed Luna's neck and squeezed it.

"You..." Luna gritted her teeth as she felt her neck being squeezed by Meduz. But without giving up, Luna used her left hand that was free to try to rip Meduz's face off.

'Take that!' Luna screamed in her mind as she drove her nails into Meduz's face and scratched him with all her strength.

Or she thought she was.

"I told you you wouldn't be able to hurt me." Meduz squeezed Luna's neck even tighter and then threw her against the wall of the house with all his strength. The wooden wall break and Luna flew out of the house.

Luna who felt all the air in her lungs being thrown off began to have difficulty breathing.

And at the same time, she felt a huge pain in her all body.

But even though she was having trouble breathing and had pain all over her body, Luna stood up and looked at Meduz while smiling. 

'That girl is determined. It's nice to find people like that, who love to fight for their lives and the lives of others.' Meduz felt her satisfaction rise again.

She made it very evident as she let out a sigh.

"You are completely crazy." Luna who watched her act like that ran towards Meduz and tried to hit the stake into her again. But Meduz even though she was a bit distracted, avoided the wooden stake easily.

Then Luna started trying to hit Meduz in different ways.

With her wooden stake, with her legs, with her claws.

Unfortunately, all his attacks were easily avoided. Luna looked at Meduz's face and noticed that she was smiling as she avoided her attacks.  She was showing that she was having no difficulties.

She was having fun with it.

"Why don't you kill me? Why are you playing with me like this?" Luna tried to drive the stake into Meduz's chest again.

"I don't know if I told you, but I like to see people desperate and fighting for their lives. I am a demon after all." Meduz took another leap backward and avoided the wooden stake.

"But if you don't kill me, I will kill you." Luna soon after spun her body around and tried to land a kick to Meduz's waist. 

Her leg was easily caught by Meduz. But taking advantage that Meduz was distracted, she threw the wooden stake into Meduz's chest with all the force she had.

"As I said, you can't hurt me." But the wooden stake was broken to pieces before it even hit her.

"How?" Luna looked at Meduz startled since she hadn't even been able to see what had broken the wooden stake she had thrown.

"It's simple, it was with this hand here." Meduz showed her left hand.

"I see. I guess that's my defeat." Luna still had her right leg being held by Meduz so stood still in front of Meduz without making any movement.

'I can't do anything here, dammit.' Luna felt enormous frustration at being beaten so easily.

No, she wasn't beaten, this wasn't even a battle from the start.

'She was just having fun with me, damn it. What's the point of me trying to do something if I'm just going to end up dying? Damn it!' Luna continued to stare at Meduz while holding back her tears.

Meduz realized that Luna was not well.

"Your body is trembling... Are you afraid?" Meduz started to smile and then let go of Luna's leg.

"I'm just frustrated and sad and..." Luna replied to Meduz and then fell to the ground. She sat down on the dirt floor and then looked up at Meduz.

"I see. Are you sad because I killed your friends?"

"I was thinking about that earlier. I don't know if I'm angry and sad because of my brother or because of my friends that you just killed. It's so strange."

"..."

"I feel like I should care more about my brother's death, but just a day later I feel like he's not dead and I should continue to support him... What kind of thoughts are those?"

"You are going crazy..."

"Maybe..." Luna smiled bitterly.

"But now I need to kill you, okay?" Meduz asked politely as he crouched down and looked into Luna's eyes.

"Fine, you can do that." Luna smiled at Meduz as her body trembled. She closed her eyes and began to cry uncontrollably.

Meduz looked at Luna for a while and wiped the smile off her face.

'Master, can't we leave this girl alive?'

[ Why do you want that? ]

'I don't know. As much as I don't care about her and I like to see people suffer, I feel like I don't want to kill her here.'

[ I understand. But unfortunately, that can't be done, you have to kill her. She's already given up, just do it fast. ]

'Right.'

Receiving his master's order, Meduz sighed and then looked at Luna who was still crying silently.

"Hey, fox girl."

"Hm?"

"I tried."

"You tried?"

"Yes." Meduz took his right hand and with his claws slashed Luna's neck.

"GAAH~~" With a strange sound, Luna put her hand on her neck as tears streamed all over her face and the blood leaking from her neck soiled all her clothes.

But it was momentary despair. After feeling her consciousness and her pain was going away, Luna smiled and lay down on the dirt floor.

'She keeps smiling, how strange...' Meduz looked at Luna's face in confusion.

A few more days passed and the capital of Southlein was recovering quickly.

With the queen's efforts, the food supply was back to normal and the country's economy was circulating again. By now some stores, restaurants, and inns were back.

Of course, with the death of so many people, some restaurants and inns were abandoned because their owners died.

But there weren't many of them as usually the owners had children and they were taking over the business from their parents.

So apart from the fact that some people are still a little injured, the capital is in a normal state.

"So how are people reacting to the capital's recovery?" Inside a room, the queen was looking at the middle-aged woman who had been helping her.

Her name was Chetla and she was the wife of the country's prime minister who ended up dying during the attack that happened to the capital.

Both he and his little daughter of about 5 years old were killed while they were still in their mansion.

Chetla was called by the queen for her status and also for her competence.

"They are reacting very well. We have also started to receive visits from other countries, everything is getting back to normal." Chetla smiled happily as she said this.

The queen looked at her and smiled bitterly.

"Chetla."

"Yes?"

"How did you feel when your husband and daughter died?"

At the sudden question, Chetla bowed her head and looked extremely sad and thoughtful. Seeing this the queen desperately got up from her chair and walked over to her.

"Ah, no need to talk about it, I'm sorry for that question. It's just that... I can't get over Thoan's death and I don't know how you're coping with the death of your husband and daughter..."

"About that, of course, I'm not over it. I don't even want to come home because of it."

"..."

"It's very painful, but I'd rather focus on my work so I don't keep thinking about unnecessary things."

"Got it..."

"And about the king, I hope you will get over his death."

"Me too... It's just that I keep worrying about Rumena. She keeps asking about your father all the time."

"That's normal. In time she'll realize exactly what happened. What you need to do is to stay by her side and support her."

"Of course I'll do that."

"Good."

"All right, Chetla, I'm sorry for saying something unnecessary, you may leave now."

"It wasn't something unnecessary, don't worry about it. If you'll excuse me." Chetla bowed elegantly and then left the room.

After she left, the queen sat down again. 

After a few minutes, the door was opened again, revealing Lett holding Princess Rumena's hand.

"Mommy!" The princess let go of Lett's hand and ran toward the queen.

The princess jumped into the queen's lap after getting closer.

"How are you? Did you have fun?" The queen kissed the princess on the forehead and smiled.

"Yes, Lett helped me build a castle made out of the dirt."

"That's great."

After that, the queen continued to listen to the princess's story.

Lett went to the corner of the room and seemed to be enjoying herself as she watched mother and daughter having fun together.
