On the next day Alessandra returned to the Devil kingdom and went straight to Malachi. "Malachi, as long as I go to Shaquille does King Erick ever ask me?" ask Alessandra
Malachi replied "You take it easy, As long as you go King Erick does not ask you. He was busy and always spent his time with Yurisa"
"Thank God, I heard it. I can't imagine my fate if I'm caught infiltrating the human world" Alessandra said
"Hey, how was your meeting with your foster son Mr Xander that you missed?" malachi asked curiously
"Yes, I met him. She's fine" Alessandra replied
"Good" said Malachi "You don't intend to go back there, do you?" ask Malachi again
Alessandra paused for a moment thinking about it. Yes, in a world where humans live, a crown prince who will be the successor of King Rafael (Leoninko) is already infatuated and in love with Alesandra, who is the son of a, a female demon disguised as a human (Alessa) at first sight. "No, I will not return" Alessandra told Malachi, thinking that if she returned then her business would be longer "Oh yes Malachi, I have a secret hidden in my heart. Actually, when I went into the human world and disguised myself as a beautiful country girl I met a man. She instantly fell in love with me" Alessandra said in a soft tone.
Malachi was shocked to hear Alessandra's confession. He did not expect that there was a love story intertwined between Alessandra's travels. "What do you mean, Alessandra? Who is that guy?" malachi asked with curiosity.
Alessandra bowed her head, feeling uncomfortable to reveal Leoninko's identity and the truth behind her love. "That guy is Leoninko. It seems like she has deep feelings for me, but I have to hide the truth about myself" Alessandra replied with concern.
Malachi felt something was wrong. He feels a sense of obscurity in Alessandra's story and tries to unravel the secrets she's hiding. "I'm here for you, don't be afraid to share" Malachi said in a soft voice, trying to ask for honesty.
Alessandra looked at Malachi with a worried face. He wanted to tell her everything, but his fear of disturbing the peace between the human world and the demon kingdom still enveloped his mind. "Malachi, I honestly feel that I love him too whenever I imagine my face is pounding very fast. But my love and my responsibility as a demon are at odds with each other, and I don't know how to deal with it" Alessandra said in a trembling voice.
Malachi was saddened to see Alessandra's uneasiness, Malachi understood how difficult her position was. He realizes that this is a very heavy burden for Alessandra, who must choose between her heart that wants to love and her duty as a demon. "Listen, Alessandra. I understand that this is a difficult situation for you. Love often presents great challenges, and sometimes we have to sacrifice something we want to keep things harmonious" Malachi said gently.
Alessandra looked at Malachi with tears in her eyes. She felt genuine support from her friend, yet her feelings were still chaotic and confused. "Malachi, I'm afraid that my presence in the human world will have bad consequences for us and the relationship between our kingdoms besides that I'm afraid that Leoniko will be disappointed" Alessandra said with concern.
Malachi nodded in understanding, but he also realized that Alessandra had to face her feelings honestly. He needs to find a way to maintain a balance between his loving heart and his responsibilities as a demon. "Alessandra, your feelings are something that cannot be ignored. However, it is also important for us to find a solution that can satisfy both sides, without harming both worlds. Are you sure that you have considered all aspects well?" malachi asked sincerely.
Alessandra took a deep breath, carefully considering Malachi's words. He felt an increasing pressure on his shoulders, but he was also aware that there was no easy path in this situation. "Malachi, I have to find a way to keep this a secret and balance my feelings. I will remain in the demon kingdom and carry out my duties well. I hope the love that is in my heart will disappear as time goes on" Alessandra said in a regretful tone.
Malachi nodded, accepting Alessandra's decision with understanding. She knew that this was a difficult choice for Alessandra, but she also respected her decision. "Alessandra, I support you in your decision. I will always be here for you, both in joy and sorrow. If at any time you need support or help, don't hesitate to look for me" Malachi said sincerely.
Alessandra smiled bitterly, feeling the warmth of friendship from Malachi. He felt a little relieved at having someone who understood and supported him, even though the burden in his heart was still there. "Still, Malachi. I hope everything will be okay. I will fight to live my responsibilities well.
Then Yurisa came to them. "Alessandra, you're here, right? I was looking for you earlier" Yurisa said
Alessandra and Malachi immediately bent their knees under Yurisa's feet as a form of respect. "Daughter Lord Yurisa, what made Princess Yurisa come looking for me?" ask Alessandra
"Alessandra, I want you to accompany me to the Shaquille Kingdom. I miss Father, Mother, Leoninko, and my other friends" Yurisa replied
Alessandra was surprised to hear Yurisa's request. She never thought that Yurisa would ask her to go to the Kingdom of Shaquille, where her love for Leoninko grew. Alessandra feels confused and unsure if she can confront Leoninko without revealing the truth.
"Mr Princess Yurisa, I'm not sure if I can go to Shaquille Kingdom. I have a responsibility here in the demon kingdom" Alessandra said hesitantly.
Yurisa looked at Alessandra's confusion and nodded with understanding. Although she did not know about Leoninko's feelings towards Alessandra, Yurisa could sense that there was something complicated behind this situation. "Alessandra, I understand that you have responsibilities here. I miss my family and friends in Shaquille. I want that who accompanied me there is you. I hope you will accompany me for some time, at least until I can meet them," Yurisa gently pinta.
Given that Yurisa was the wife of King Erick, eventually Alessandra had no other choice to accept Yurisa's request. "Alright Princess, I will carry out my duties to accompany and take good care of the Princess"
"Daughter, no need to thank me. Realizing the wishes of the Princess is my responsibility as a General as well as the servant of Princess Yurisa and King Erick. Then when do we go to Shaquille?" ask Alessandra
"We're leaving now, use your magic for teleportation" Yurisa said
"Good Princess" Alessandra
Alessandra, directly using her magic to teleport with Yurisa to Shaquille Kingdom which then makes them reach Shaquille city in an instant. After getting there Alessandra deliberately did not do disguise, because she thought that being herself with her original form could make her calmer in the face of Leoninko. Currently Alessandra was walking beside Yurisa who was taking a leisurely walk towards the castle.
"Why did Princess Yurisa ask to come down in this place and walk towards the castle? Isn't this a waste of time and energy? Can we teleport directly to the castle?" ask Alessandra
"I'm asking to come down here because I'm going to stop by the sword forging recommended by my friends. Yes, when I was training with Zarael and Malachi suddenly my sword broke I wanted the forging of the sword to connect my sword and increase its sharpness. It's true that there are still other good weapons that can be used, but this sword of mine is very valuable to me because it's a sword made by Olivia's sacrifice" it was clearly Yurisa who kept on walking towards the location of the sword forging
Arriving at the location, when Yurisa was about to knock on the door. Someone came out of that place, apparently he was Xander. Yurisa and Alessandra are surprised to see Xander.
"Xander?" Juriss
"Yurisa, what are you doing here?" Xander was also as shocked as Yurisa's arrival. He was suddenly tense and worried if Yurisa knew that the sword forging that was inside alone was her father's Chains.
"This is the place recommended by Athur. I'm here to meet the sword forger and ask him to join my sword and increase his sharpness, you're here to order weapons too?" ask Yurisa back
"L-yes that's how it is" Xander replied
"Oi, Xander, you dropped my drink, didn't you?" ask someone inside banging on the door "Don't just walk away, you have to take responsibility!" he continued, a little more annoyed, "Oi, Xander, do you hear me?!" ask the person inside
"She shut up, I'll change" said Xander, who tried to remain calm
"Xander, can you step aside for a second? I want to meet a sword forger" Yurisa said
"Eng... Princess Yurisa's sword forging master was badmood after I dropped her drink. When his heart is bad, he will attack and kill anyone who asks him to talk" Xander said
"Mr Princess Yurisa, I feel that Xander is familiar with that sword forging. What if Princess Yurisa puts her sword in Xander and we go to the castle?" ask Alessandra
"Ah yes Alessandra is right! I'll pass it on to the forging of the sword and make sure that the cross section does its job well" Xander said
"Alright, please help her yes" Yurisa gave her sword to Xander
"Yes" said Xander "I'll give it to you after the sword is fixed" Xander continued
"Alright, then see you again Xander" Yurisa
Alessandra immediately used the teleportation technique to the castle. After that Xander breathed a sigh of relief because he managed to prevent Yurisa's meeting with her father.
