Chapter 98
When Cecily asked with a smile, a chill sprouted from his right arm and spread throughout his body. The blood flowing through the body cools down and it feels like the body is frozen.
His body was so stiff that he couldn’t even open his mouth, but he forcibly shook off that feeling and turned his head in the direction suspected of the source of the chills. She was on the side with Arwen.
However, Arwen is greatly embarrassed as soon as he meets Cecily.
Judging from her expression and her reaction, the culprit of this chill was by no means Arwen. Not even Cecily, who smiles brightly.
‘what? Who the hell…’
If so, is this feeling of cold blood being an illusion? I wrapped my arms around the chicken meat that came out of it, and then I suddenly remembered a strange thing.
Cecily called Arwen not these people, but ‘these people’. But there is only one Arwen by my side.
Is there any bodyguard who hides and follows Gartz, the escort knight who watches over Cecily? Cecily is scheduled to be the next demon king, so she will be able to see things I couldn’t see.
I looked at Arwen and Cecily in turn, fixed my gaze on Cecily who was smiling brightly, and slowly opened my mouth. I’m going to pretend I don’t know.
“…what do you mean, sister? Arwen is alone.”
“Huh. Is it?”
As I pretended not to know, Cecily let out a strange snort and smirked. Then she shifted her gaze to Arwen and folded her arms, revealing her hint of interest in her.
Still, the dress made her breasts stand out, but when she folded her arms, it became even more prominent. I struggled to raise my gaze downward and downward.
Meanwhile, Cecily looked at Arwen, and smiled again. It was a fatally beautiful smile.
“Sorry. I must have misunderstood for a moment. You don’t have to worry about what I said.”
“…I know.”
“Then who is this person? Looking at his clear energy, he seems to be an elf.”
Turning around, Cecily asked me who Arwen was. He glanced at Arwen.
He pressed his robes so deeply that he couldn’t take a closer look at his expression, but he kept his slightly exposed mouth shut.
Not only did Arwen meet for the first time today, and Cecily already knows that she is an elf. She didn’t really have an answer for me.
“He’s just a guy I met by chance at a bookstore. He helped me when I was choosing books.”
“Is that all?”
“I bought some delicious food to look at the exhibition. Do you see strawberry candy here?”
As I mentioned the strawberry candy, Cecily looked towards Arwen’s hand. Arwen’s hand was holding a strawberry candy that he had just ate.
Then Cecily complained to me in a slightly disappointing voice.
“I didn’t buy it, did you buy it for the first person I saw today?”
“…I’m sorry. Can I buy you right now?”
“No. It’s fine.”
Cecily answered and slowly walked towards us. As she approached, I began to feel the cold energy on my right side getting stronger and stronger as she came closer.

Even when she turned her head to check Arwen, she had a dull face. I don’t know if I’m too sensitive or just an illusion.

Finally, Cecily arrived proudly in front of Arwen’s cage. Exactly in front of Arwen.
Arwen is shorter than me, and Cecily is taller than Nicole, boasting a long stature. Due to the height difference, Cecily looked down and Arwen looked up.
As they stared at each other in a bizarre confrontation, Cecily introduced herself to Arwen with a soft smile.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Cecily.”
Cecily simply revealed her name as she didn’t feel the need to reveal that she was the princess of Hellium.
Still, the grace and charisma that flowed out in the dark will give you an intuition that her identity is not unusual.
Arwen quickly glanced up and down at Cecily’s beautiful appearance before opening his mouth in a low voice.
“…Call me Arwen.”
His voice was small, but he wasn’t depressed at all. Rather, should it be said that the boundaries are buried?
Unlike Cecily, who spoke respectfully, Arwen may seem strange because she is rude, but considering the relationship between elves and demons, it is not too strange.
Based on the past, elves viewed humans as a lower race, demons were viewed as harmful creatures.

Elves, descendants of angels, and demons, descendants of demons. Just by looking at this, you can see what the relationship is like.
There is a myth that it is unpleasant to feel uncomfortable just being close to each other because the energy that they hold is opposite to each other.
Fortunately, after Xenon’s biography appeared, Elves, like other races, had their gaze on demons softened, but it would be difficult to hide the inherent discomfort.
“It’s Arwen… It’s an ordinary but good name. It’s the name of an elf hero who was active during the Demon Wars, isn’t it?”
“I know. And your name is also good. It has a sacred meaning.”
“Thanks for the compliments.”
At first glance, they seemed to be okay with each other. Cecily doesn’t seem to care at all about Arwen’s disrespect.
But you must never be vigilant. Although humans are the race that persecuted demons the most, elves are inherently polar opposites, so you don’t know what to say.
“Why don’t you stay here and look at the works?”
As I was maintaining the tension, Cecily offered Arwen in a gentle voice. It’s strange to be standing here all the time.
Arwen nodded as if he had agreed to that point as well. She still has a strawberry candy in her hand.
I guess that’s hard to eat…
“Yum.”
“… …”
…and bit a strawberry candy. Still, it seemed that it was difficult for him to bear his gaze fixed on Cecily.
Cecily’s eyes widened when Arwen unexpectedly bit off a strawberry candy, and after a while, she smiled gracefully like a young lady.
Although it was a bit rude, Arwen’s cute appearance covered that part and amplified her unique cuteness.
“I’m sorry. The sweet smell irritated me, so I couldn’t help it.”
Arwen, who had been munching on strawberry candy, answered while swallowing the food in his mouth.
Then he glanced at me once, looked at Cecily and continued.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I should interfere.
“I’m really fine, Isaac, aren’t you?”
I nodded at Cecily’s question. Up until this point, Arwen’s personality has never been bad, and on the contrary, her thoughts are awake.
So, even if Cecily is a demon, there is a high possibility that there will be no problems.
“No. You guys may be okay, but I don’t think it would be uncomfortable. It seems like you two know each other, but an uninvited guest is not allowed to intervene.”
“… …”
“But don’t forget the kindness you showed me. Thank you so much.”
Arwen placed his right hand on the center of his chest and lowered his back slowly. He was an elegant and loving greeting.
I felt sorry for receiving her greetings for a while, but I also greeted them politely according to the etiquette. She was already aware that she was her nobleman, so it would be polite to do her like this.
“Then let’s get going. Oh my. Strawberry candy is so delicious, you should try it too. Yum.”
Arwen joked with me and took another bite of the strawberry candy. I laughed as if I couldn’t dry it.
The behavior of telling him not to treat him like a child was the same until the end.
“If we meet again someday, can I buy you another strawberry candy?”
“You treat me like a child until the very end. But there is no need for that. Then I should show you a favor. I don’t even know when it will be, but I have a feeling that we will meet again soon. You might even see it in the Holy Land.”
“Holy land…”
Come to think of it, Professor Elena once mentioned it. If he enters history as a recommended student, she will take him to the holy land of Albnheim.
Maybe then I will be able to meet Arwen again.
“Maybe I can visit Albenheim within two or three years. If we get to know each other then, we can meet.”
“That’s good news. Isaac Ducker Michele… Later, when I hear that you have visited the Holy Land, I’ll visit you. Then.”
Arwen left only those words and took a step back, two steps back, then turned his back and walked forward.
I watched her back and forth as she slowly moved away. Before long, Arwen blended into the crowd and disappeared completely.
He was a bookworm like me and an elf with an awake mind, so we had good conversations, but it was a bit disappointing to break up like this.
“Are you sorry?”
As Arwen was looking in the direction where he disappeared, Cecily asked me next to me. I listened to her question and turned her head to her.
Cecily had a polite, gentle smile. I blinked and stared blankly at that beautiful smile before answering quietly.
“…a little?”
“You must have liked him.”
“We have similar hobbies, and for an elf, we have an open mind. And he showed us magic…”
Wait a minute. A thought occurred to me, and I looked at Cecily once more.
At that, Cecily tilted her head and looked as if she had something to say.
“Sister. Can you show me magic too?”
“Magic?”
“Yes. Earlier, Arwen made water drops and moved them around. Can my sister do it too?”
Cecily is a demon, and is expected to be the next great demon king. So he must have tremendous powers when it comes to magic.
Cecily looked at me with a twinkle of anticipation in my eyes. Then she smiled as she closed her eyes and opened her mouth with a soothing voice.
“What kind of magic does my Isaac want?”
“Once there is no damage around, is it at the level of remnants?”
“It’s at the level of remnants…”
ugh-
Cecily mumbled and gently grabbed my hand. I could feel the calluses, which had hardened as hard as they had been through hard training, rather than being soft due to well-maintained care.
As I stared at Cecily with a questioning look at him, she opened her mouth with a smile on her face.
“For example, something like this?”
“What the hell… Whoa!”
Shoo!
I couldn’t help but scream out loud as the balance of my body shifted sharply upwards.
because…
“Hey, hey, what is this…! Please get off quickly!!”
“Why? It’s a leftover skill for me?”
“I feel like my heart is going to stop, so hurry up!!”
Because Cecily sent me through the sky with her magic. She too was swimming through the sky through her magic.
Cecily burst out laughing as if it was funny to see me flapping my arms and legs in the blue sky.
“Ahahahaha! Isaac. Do you know what you look like now?”
“Know, sleep, and I’ll pray like this!”
“I don’t like it? It’s cute, so let’s stay like this for a while.”
“sister!!”
After all, it flew in the sky for 30 minutes.
*****
After breaking up with Isaac, Arwen has been traveling around to see his works. In her hand was the strawberry candy that Isaac had bought for him.
I had already eaten two, so there were only three left, but it was enough for Arwen. She muttered as she put the sweet and refreshing candy into her mouth.
The unique sweetness of the syrup and the freshness of the strawberry spread in the mouth, giving Arwen a feeling of happiness.
“Queen. Are you really going to let it go?”
As Arwen was muttering strawberry candy, someone next to her asked in a disgruntled voice.
He was currently in stealth, so no one could see him, but this time, it was Lane, a dark elf who followed Arwen.
He is also the one who made Isaac cold by exuding a terrifying energy as soon as Cecily discovered his existence a while ago.
“Is there anything we can do about it? We’re here to watch, not fight.”
“But… the Queen knows. The energy that the demons are feeling right now is very dangerous.”
“… …”
Arwen listened to Lane’s explanation and did not respond. He’s just thinking of Cecily in his head.
As Lane said, the energy that Cecily felt right now was extremely dangerous. Originally, demons are no different from humans in normal times, but in certain situations, the story is different.
The biggest example is when you are on the verge of turning into a demon. If you cannot suppress emotions such as anger or sadness after experiencing a terrible event, the concentration of black mana will increase for the demons.
However, this is felt regardless of race, and demons and elves who are opposites can sense it more precisely.
And the current concentration of black mana exuding from Cecily is not as high as that of the devil, but it is a bit dangerous. need to be vigilant.
“…I know that. Perhaps the musical instrument has arrived. However, he seems to be very patient, so we don’t care.”
“If that’s the case with the Queen… Then what about that red hair?”
“Little child…”
Arwen remembered Isaac’s face. He was a human child who liked books and showed favors like himself.
Red hair and golden eyes, which are extremely rare in this world, made his face dazzle. She never had anyone she could talk to, but she gave her a fresh experience.
‘But it was said that such a human had a relationship with a demon princess…’
Arwen was also aware that Cecily was the princess of Hellium. And she, Cecily, seems to have guessed who she is.
Because of Isaac, he didn’t reveal his last name because there was no need to complicate the situation for nothing.
Arwen glanced at Lane, contemplating how the relationship between the two men and women was going. Lane is still waiting for her own answer.
“…Isaac seems to be just an ordinary human. Did I feel that too? He can control mana, but that’s all, he’s just an ordinary human being.”
“But it doesn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary when you look at the way you get along with the demons, don’t you?”
“We don’t need to know the details. Because the exhibition is important now. And you’re the person who bought you strawberry candy.”
“…I know.”
As soon as Lane heard Arwen’s bruise, he pouted his lips and indirectly expressed his displeasure.
Seeing that, Arwen sighed inwardly and had no choice but to worry.
‘It should be fine… I’m glad I got insurance.’
The bizarre encounter ended here.
