"Her body is fine, it's just that …"
"It's fine. Speak."
Looking at the old sorcerer's worried face, Hala glanced at his surroundings.
"There's something wrong with this human. There's an extremely powerful energy protecting her, but at the same time, it's eating away at her body. I've never heard of such a situation. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be alive. "
The old cat wizard placed a bottle of purple powder in Hala's hand and said, "This is the powder ground from sleeping grass. It can stabilize mana. Lord Hala, it's best if you bring it with you if you want to see her."
"Thank you."
"Then your subordinate will take her leave."
Hala nodded. She walked to the room and gently pushed open the door. There was a white-haired human female lying on the bed. She seemed to be asleep. Hala stepped into the room and suddenly opened her eyes. This gave Hala a fright, but she didn't show it.
Her blue eyes were especially bright, as if they were glowing. She looked at Hara with a wary expression.
Hala didn't expect her to wake up at this time, but she didn't seem to have any intention of backing down.
"Don't worry. It's very safe here. No one will hurt you."
As she spoke, she held the purple bottle with two fingers and walked in.
Humans were afraid of demons, but this human girl clearly wasn't afraid of her.
Hala placed the bottle on the table, then walked around the table, picked up a stool, and slowly sat in front of the bed. Reina slowly sat up, seemingly unperturbed.
She must have heard our conversation, but she's pretending to be asleep.
"You're not in the prison's register. That means, in the Wussen Empire, there's no evidence that you've broken the law. I'm very curious. Why did Reid lock you up? Can you tell me?"
Hala asked gently. Her voice was reassuring. Perhaps it was because she was a weak demon, but other races couldn't help but lower their guard. She had a natural affinity with them.
Reina glanced at her. She could sense that this demon was very weak. If they fought, she definitely wouldn't be her match. There were only two guards outside the room. They couldn't protect her in time.
"Where's Reid?"
"Dead."
Reina frowned, seemingly surprised.
"How …"
"I killed it. It betrayed our monarch."
Monarch? King? Who was the Emperor of the Wussen Empire? Demon King! Demon King Richard!
Hara observed that her eyes widened slightly, as if she were interested in the word monarch.
"You are also a citizen of the Wussen Empire?"
"Yes, someone who is willing to give up everything for it. By the way, my name is Halla. What about you?"
She doesn't know my name?
Reina felt strange. Was she really not the companion of Reid and the woman in white?
"Reina, my name is Reina."
She observed the woman's expression. Obviously, she had no reaction to Reina's name.
"Alright, Reina, I've already answered three of your questions. Can you answer mine now?"
Hara said.
Reina pondered for a moment. She didn't know if she should believe the demon in front of her. Although she looked like a good person, who knew? She had already been taken advantage of many times.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Halla knew that she didn't trust her. She placed her hand on Reina's head and said, "Don't worry. If they bully you, I will uphold justice for you. If you want me to keep it a secret."
As she spoke, Halla snapped her fingers. The sapphire ring on her finger suddenly glowed, and then a large barrier covered the two of them.
"Right now, only you and I can hear each other's voices. None of the secrets will fly out of this barrier."
Reina looked at her hand. Her body had more or less recovered. She still had the ability to break this barrier and escape.
"I wanted to see Richard, but he brought me here. A woman in white pretended to be Richard and wanted to deceive me. After I saw through her, we fought, but I wasn't her match. She knocked me unconscious and locked me in the dungeon."
Hearing this, Halla's ears trembled. Her expression changed slightly.
This human wanted to see Lord Demon King? The woman in white was definitely her. That dangerous Queen Mother. Why did she capture this human? Perhaps she thought it was fun. But she actually dared to use Lord Demon King to deceive others. This was unforgivable! I have to tell this to the Demon King in front of him.
Halla looked at the pitiful human girl and touched her face.
The hands of the Rabbitfolk were very soft and had comfortable fur, so Reina didn't resist.
"I am sorry for what happened to you. That woman in white is a soldier of our Wusen Empire. She has made many mistakes, but I promise you that she will definitely pay the price for this."
"Thank you."
Reina said.
Although words weren't always true, friendly words always made people happy.
"Can you tell me where Richard is?"
She suddenly asked.
Halla's ears immediately straightened. She withdrew her hands and slowly placed them on her legs, saying, "Why are you looking for Lord Monarch?"
"I want to ask him a few things."
She doesn't want to tell me. Perhaps she can't help me, Reina thought.
As expected, Halla was troubled. She sighed, saying, "If I'm not wrong, the Richard you are looking for is our great Demon King, right? In the Wusen Empire, we only have one Lord Richard."
Halla's tone was full of respect.
Reina nodded. She didn't know why, but she felt a bit sad.
He has become the Demon King and has many people who love and respect him. There are so many people around him, and I have lost Mr. Ball and am all alone.
"Perhaps, I can, I can let you see him, but can you tell me, as a human, why do you want to see our Lord Demon King? After all, humans are still prejudiced against us. "
Hearing this, Reina looked at Halla. She didn't know if she would be like Reid and find another person to impersonate.
"He is my master."
If her memories weren't wrong, he had been summoned by her magic.
"Master? He has never mentioned that he has a human disciple. "
Halla stood up excitedly. Her reaction was a bit big, and Reina's heart sank.
"Perhaps I was mistaken. But thank you for saving me. I want to figure this out myself."
After saying this, Reina was about to get down from the bed, but Halla hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Wait, I can ask Lord Demon King for you first."
"No need. I don't want to trouble you anymore."
Reina immediately put on her boots and picked up the black book and the package hanging on the wall. Halla couldn't stop this human. She was very stubborn, and without a word, she pushed open the door and left. The two guards were shocked. Just as they were about to stop Reina, Halla called out to them.
She watched the human girl leave, her heart full of confusion.
"My Lord, should we go and bring her back?"
One of the guards saw Halla looking at the human with a worried expression and suggested.
Halla shook her head, saying, "No, she hasn't committed any crimes. We have no right to detain her. Let her go."
She furrowed her brows, revealing a troubled expression.
Lord Demon King's human disciple? If Reina wasn't lying, what effect would this have on the Wussen Empire?
