Chapter 16 - Looking After Kei

Plifer was shocked to hear the sound of a chair. He raised his head and saw Lylia about to sit down.

He looked at Kei, who was reading a book in the living room.

''How long have I been asleep?'

Plifer wondered.

He stretched his arms and rolled his shoulders to ease the stiffness in his body.

"You slept all night. Let me stay awake. Go and clean yourself up."

Lylia spoke without looking at Plifer.

Plifer watched Kei for a few more seconds before disappearing into a cloud of black smoke.

Lylia remained focused on her research.

From time to time, she glanced at Kei, who was sitting with his family at the dining table.

A moment later, Kei's behaviour suddenly changed.

Without wasting any time, she wrote another report about Kei.

Plifer had already filled four pages with observations.

Lylia smiled before continuing her work.

She had spent the whole night researching demon powers, including the power of the Queen of All Demons, but she found very little information.

"I need to see Prince Fullus."

Lylia floated toward the bookshelf using her power.

She uses her power to float herself, she finds a book on the top shelf.

She searched the top shelf for almost three minutes before coming back down to rest and recover her energy.

She glanced at the water sphere. Her eyes landed on Kei chatting with a girl outside the house.

"Hmm... Has Prince Drieshan found himself a girlfriend?"

Lylia whispered to herself.

Lylia returned to floating her body and once again searched for the book on the top shelf.

After searching for almost fifteen minutes, the door suddenly opened.

Lylia glanced down from above without making a sound as Plifer's head appeared through the doorway.

"Eh... Where is that girl?"

"Lylia?"

"She said she'd take care of this place. Now she's the one who's missing?"

"This little girl is really lazy."

Plifer began to murmur.

His feet carried him toward the bookshelf.

Lylia narrowed her eyes before an evil grin slowly appeared on her face.

She waited directly above Plifer until her floating power ran out.

She was right on top of Plifer's head waiting for her power to run out.

"Hish... This girl only knows how to laze around. I've got so much work to finish now that Fullus is resting at the palace."

Plifer sighed.

"Where did she go? She didn't even tell me—"

Suddenly, Lylia dropped onto Plifer.

It's no use having Lylia!

She can fly over my head.

Plifer scolded inwardly.

"Ouch! I'm sorry, Mr. Plifer. I didn't see you there."

Lylia hurried to get up before a small laugh saw Plifer roll a shovel to the floor.

"Hey! Why did you land on me?!"

Plifer rubbed his back.

Lylia smiled with a scary face.

Plifer who saw Lylia's scary face, he can felt bad energy around her.

I am dead !!

Plifer smiled afraid to see Lylia.

"That's your punishment for calling me lazy."

Lylia walked over to the chair in front of her.

Plifer held his head which felt swollen as a result of being smashed with books by Lylia.

"By the way, I need to see Prince Fullus. I want to discuss the demon's power with him."

Lylia spoke calmly.

Plifer just nodded understandingly.

"Okay. I'll keep an eye on Prince Keishii."

Plifer sat in the chair next to Lylia.

His eyes saw Kei who was still busy reading a book with Shima and Freddy next to him.

"If anything happens, call me."

Lylia spoke before she disappeared with a black shadow on the wall.

Plifer smiled until Lylia completely disappeared from sight.

"Huh... This little girl never stops bothering me."

Plifer sighed and a few minutes later Lylia re -entered the room through the door.

Plifer was surprised to see the room door open from the outside.

Eh?

Why did this girl come back?

Did she hear me say to her?!

Plifer's face turned pale.

His eyes saw Lylia sitting next to him.

"W-Why are you back?"

Plifer asked.

"I'm not allowed to enter the palace."

Lylia answered in the same way.

Plifer frowned.

"What? Why? Didn't Fullus tell us to meet him if something unexpected happened?"

Plifer asked in surprise.

"The story goes like this ...."

Lylia recalled the situation a few minutes ago.

Lylia arrives in front of the palace gate and she approaches the two palace gatekeepers.

She gave permission to enter, but only after she was about to arrive at the palace gates.

Chief Fludd and Commander in chief Slieve emerged from the black shadows on the palace walls and approached her.

"Would you like to see Prince Fullus?"

Chief Fludd spoke loudly.

Lylia was a little surprised to hear Fludd's chief's voice.

"Yes, Chief Fludd and Commander-in-Chief Slieve. I need to speak with Lord Fullus."

Lylia bowed respectfully to Fludd's chief and Slieve's chief of staff.

"You are not allowed to see Prince Fullus."

Commander -in -chief Slieve spoke up.

"Forgive me, but Lord Fullus told us to report to him if anything unexpected happened."

Lylia still bowed respectfully.

"You are still not allowed to see Prince Fullus."

Chief Fludd spoke firmly.

Lylia was just silent for a moment before she apologized.

"Excuse me.."

Lylia once again bowed respectfully before she disappeared into the black smoke.

"That's what happened."

Lylia spoke up.

Plifer frowned.

"Something isn't right. Why won't they let us see Fullus?"

Plifer held his chin.

"Try using your power. Look for Prince Fullus."

Lylia gives a suggestion, without arguing Plifer agrees with Lylia's suggestion.

Plifer closed his eyes and mentioned Fullus' name in his heart.

Fullus appeared who was sitting at a table in the room.

Fullus is like a bit of a fiber when in a room.

"Fullus. Do you have a problem?"

Plifer asked.

Lylia just listened.

"Plifer!"

Fullus screamed a little.

"What's wrong? You look exhausted."

Plifer is still asking.

"I've been worried about both of you. Why haven't I received any news about Kei?"

Fullus shouted angrily.

"It's not that we didn't want to tell you. They wouldn't let us see you."

Plifer replied, Lylia nodded at Plifer's words.

"What? Who stopped you? I already told the guards to let you two pass."

Fullus asked in surprise.

"Lylia told me she wasn't allowed in by Chief Fludd and Commander-in-Chief Slieve."

Plifer is still speaking.

'Why would? There must be something wrong with Fludd's chief and commander -in -chief. '

Fullus whispered in his heart.

"I'll talk to Chief Fludd and ask him to let you two m—"

"Don't, Fullus. I think they're investigating us. It might even be the Empress's orders."

Plifer makes assumptions.

Fullus did not deny Plifer's words, there was indeed Plifer telling him.

'The Empress may have other plans.'

Plifer whispered to himself.

"I think it's better if we communicate like this for now."

Fullus just nodded understandingly.

"Okay. Just don't overuse your power."

Fullus advised.

"Aww, you're so sweet.'

Plifer smiled and teased, so his friend not to stress in his chamber alone.

"I'll contact you again in fifteen minutes."

Fullus nodded understandingly and finally Plifer's voice was no longer heard.

"What's the Empress planning?"

Fullus wondered.

"Give me fifteen minutes before I use my power again."

Lylia nodded.

She looked at Plifer, who was quietly clearing his mind.

'Plifer and Prince Fullus have been working so hard...'

A gentle smile appeared on her lips.

Plifer noticed her smiling and frowned.

"What?"

"Nothing."

She replied with a straight face.

"You're a weird kid."

A few seconds passed.

Tung!

Plifer rubbed the aching bump on his head.

Lylia had already turned her attention back to Kei, acting as if nothing had happened.

A witch...

Definitely a witch.

He screamed inwardly.
