Chapter 21: Between the Mirrors of the Day

Royal blue windows, a roof with red and gold trim and frescoes, an ornate crystal chandelier made of countless crystals, a gorgeous golden-red silk sofa that is incomparably soft, a hand-woven embroidered red carpet, and a goose feather bed that can seat a dozen people.

"Is this my mirror image between?"

A little surprised, Mu Ze carefully observed everything around him, and Mu Ze found that the place he was in was his special life prop: the portable mirror image.

Outside the window, it's set in the morning, and the warm sun pours into this western royal bedroom through the half-open royal blue windows, accompanied by a gentle breeze.

Awkward, absolutely awkward.

The chestnut short-haired Lori, who didn't dare to raise her head, knelt on the ground, and Rukia, who exuded being a superior, secretly looked at the Terran Lori who was kneeling on the ground.

Unlike the evil and treacherous characteristics of the Terrans described by the demons, this Terran who appeared in front of Rukia was so weak and kind?

The maroon short-haired Lori who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to raise her head to look at this nobleman who was obviously dressed among the nobles, at least in their town, the Viscountess Asre from the Kingdom of Lut was not dressed gorgeously and elegantly by the girl in front of her, and it had a temperament that was obviously different from that of the Viscountess Asre, that kind of temperament that made people want to be convinced.

"It's ......"

Mu Ze remembered, wasn't this what happened that day in that tavern called Tulip in Lofema City? At that time, he was knocked on the door and the waiter Sophie talked about the life experience of this chestnut short-haired Lori, and what happened when he came back made Mu Ze see the other side of Rukia, Rukia is cold-blooded as a demon and regards the human race as an ant, this cold-blooded side makes Mu Ze, who is in the moral bondage of the 21st century, unable to accept it, and makes himself estranged from Rukia.

Could this also be a spiritual world for Rukia? Or is there another intention?

The quiet is so terrifying that there is a demon girl Rukia who doesn't know how to speak, and a chestnut short-haired Lori who is conscientious and doesn't even dare to breathe for a breath, and this terrible tranquility can even make Rukia hear the child's pounding heartbeat.

Wanting to break the annoying silence, Rukia, dressed in a purple dress, got up from the sofa and walked up to Lori, who was sitting on her knees and didn't dare to look up, and asked, "Now, what's your name?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Before Rukia finished speaking, a series of sorrys came out of the child's mouth, followed by continuous kowtowing and begging for mercy, in this child's heart, for this kind of nobleman, it is just to keep kowtowing and admitting mistakes and letting him beat and scold, and when these nobles are angry, there will be no danger to their lives. Resisting only made these noble ladies and adventurers whip themselves harder, and these were the experiences of this child.

Instead of getting the child's name, she received a series of inexplicable apologies, and Rukia walked up to the child in the big pajamas that didn't fit well, and crouched down.

In the first close contact with the Terrans, Rukia discovered that the Terrans were actually different from what the sages described, and the young female Terrans in front of her did not exude an unbearable stench, nor were they the kind of low-level slimes who did not like cleanliness, but made Rukia feel a little impulsive to care about this child, just like caring about those low-level demons in the Demon Realm.

Rukia had always thought that the cloak that Mu Ze had given her had eliminated all the stench of the Terrans and purified her vision, but it didn't look like that.

"The concubine ordered you to look up."

The faint words came out of Rukia's mouth elegantly, making Lori, who didn't dare to look up, raise her head cautiously, and then saw a delicate and jade childish face, and a pair of red eyes that were indescribably beautiful, as pure as the stream in the town.

Black eyes full of fear, and stunted faces, and some strange sensations.

This was Rukia's first impression of the child, and as for the strangeness, Rukia herself didn't understand, but the strange feeling was not only familiar but also strange, which made Rukia fall into thought.

Lori, who realized that she was rude, couldn't help but lower her head, but saw Rukia's long black hair that spread out on the ground at some point, and wanted to remind Lukia that her hair was on the ground: "That, honorable noble lady, your hair ......"

Rukia, who thought about it for a while, really couldn't think of anything, so she simply gave up. Hearing the child's reminder, Rukia stood up and sat down in front of the ornate dresser across from the goose feather bed, and sat down on the chair in front of the dresser: "The concubine allows you to stand up. Do you know how to comb? Help the concubine sort it out. ”

Lori, who was originally the personal maid of Viscountess Asley in the town, nodded cautiously, then took a white comb from the dresser, and stood behind Rukia obediently and began to comb Rukia's hair.

"Now, continue with the previous question, your name."

"Love...... Ellie. ”

A little nervous, Ellie clumsily spelled out her name, but the movements in her hands continued.

"Alice?"

"No, it's Ellie, love, Leigh."

Some of the stammering pronunciation made Rukia understand Ellie's name as Alice, and then Ellie hurriedly explained, and for a while the atmosphere between the mirrors became less awkward, and Ellie, who found what she could do, was finally no longer so careful to be a kowtow after combing Rukia's hair, and only repeated the words "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry".

Gently pulled Rucia's hair up, and after a period of combing, this aristocratic lady, who was not much older than herself, made Ellie not feel the deliberate oppression and arrogance of Viscountess Asrae, but so approachable, but so frivolous.

"Excuse me, are you a princess?"

The word concubine is generally used in the royal family, and this Ellie still knows it, and the thought that she is combing the hair of a princess of the royal family makes Ellie a little excited.

"Concubine? The concubine is not a princess, but a demon ...... The princess of Molisel. ”

Rukia, who almost said that she was the demon king, hurriedly changed her words, as a demon race, she naturally understood the hatred between the two races in Mu Ze's words and the sage's education for herself, and Rukia, who didn't want to kill people, cleverly said the name of a place in the demon world.

No race kills people for no reason, except for a few fanatical racists.

Skillfully combing all the disobedient hair with the comb in his hand, and then preparing to coil up these soft and unspoken hair, so that he couldn't help but see the pointed ears hidden in Rukia's long black hair.

"Pointy ears?!"

It's not good, the symbol of the demon is exposed.

Rukia, who thought of her identity being exposed, couldn't help but get nervous, and Mu Ze, who was standing on the side, also walked behind Rukia to prevent a tragedy from happening, according to what happened later, Rukia would kill Ellie who revealed her identity.

"Huh? You are, you are the princess of the elves! No wonder she is more beautiful than Viscountess Asrae, and has a temperament. But where is Mollysel? Is it in the great forest of the south? ”

The unexpected words came out of Ellie's mouth, and at the same time, Rukia and Mu Ze felt relieved at the same time.

It seems that the long-term geographical isolation has changed the understanding of the demons of the human race, and it is estimated that in the eyes of Ellie, the demons have that kind of hateful face, a pair of ugly meat wings and a foul mouth.

"Wait, if Rukia wasn't recognized as a demon because she was found by Ellie, then why did Rukia kill Ellie? And in such a cruel way? ”

……

The little girl, who had been shivering before, was lying on her back on the carpeted floor, her eyes with a little nostalgia had lost their luster, and she looked blankly at the ceiling decorated with crystal chandeliers.

Bright red blood had stained the carpet beneath him, his silky pajamas had been half stained red, and the fatal wound had come from the sword that had pierced her body in her chest and heart, and it was Rukia's weapon (sigh of interval).

……

The scene of Ellie's tragic death at Rukia resurfaced in front of Mu Ze's eyes, and perhaps he would get the answer only if he kept watching.

Rukia, who didn't know how to answer Ellie's question, sat there a little embarrassed, the dignified and noble demons were actually recognized as elves, although they also have long ears, but the elven ears are longer and larger than the demons' ears, and it is very easy to recognize the difference between demons and night elves in the demon world.

Suddenly, the hair that had been tightly coiled up suddenly loosened, followed by the sound of a body falling on a carpet covered with silk.

Realizing that something was wrong, Rukia hurriedly turned around, and the original Ellie, who had just been full of vitality, had collapsed unconscious on the silk carpet, countless black silk threads were shuttling on her body, and the white comb in her hand was also lying weakly on the side.

Ignoring her long black hair, Rukia stood up from her chair and knelt beside Ellie.

Countless black threads weaved through Ellie's body, several of which were stained with green and white.

Black silk thread?
