The Forest is Bare

"Do you know how to remove the black marks on my skin because of your holy water?" Romeda asked, looking intensely at the three female Elves who had been captured by her.

The three of them shook their heads but one of them said to herself that Mermaid scales could cure Romeda's skin.

"So, all of you don't want to tell me or you will become delicious food for my beloved snake."

The snake's head writhed and its mouth opened wide, "I'm ready to eat," it said while sticking out its four-pronged tongue. His eyes glowed red like burning fire, making the three beautiful girls shudder in horror. Finally one of them spoke.

"You need fresh Mermaid scales rubbed on your skin. The slime treats burns and other types of wounds that stick to human skin."

"Then where is that creature, can you bring it for me?"

Because Nargh couldn't find the Mermaid at the bottom of the sea, she took advantage of this opportunity. The dragon is currently sick because the lightning that struck its body caused burns around its back. Nargh is on medication, and can't be relied on for a while.

"Sorry, we don't know where Mermaid is," She answered, making Romeda laugh loudly by opening her mouth wide.

"You think I'm going to free you. Even if you don't know, you have to find out. Guards, pull the woman in the middle out of the trap. Take the two people to prison."

"Don't separate us, we can't disturb the sea creatures, because they have different powers." "To hell with that! You find where she is and give her to me after that I will free your two friends." These elves had no choice, teaming up with a demon like Romeda would never be profitable. She would soon meet her King and ask for help to save her two friends.

Meanwhile, outside, workers continue to cut down trees. The elves have opened the way and made the work of the lumberjacks easier, who can now move quickly. Michael came straight to Velove who continued to observe the workers.

"It's more open," said Michael. Seeing the condition of the forest which is starting to become barren. The remaining 30 percent of this forest is clear of trees.

"Yes, according to the workers, there was something that wet quickly in the blink of an eye, their speed was like lightning. Maybe it was the angels who intervened."

"No, this is an Elf—" Michael explained. He began to explain what happened to him last night. V listened to all the stories without arguing. In V's mind, she concluded that Michael was the main bait to get close to the demon queen who was starting to move to destroy humanity's morale.

"You can't pretend to love her otherwise you'll get lost, she's a devil, she has lots of immoral tricks, Michael."

"But that's what I'm going to do. Let her get close to me and don't interfere. She's not a Katherine you can fight, she can wipe you out with her power and I don't want you to get hurt or worse, die."

V held his breath for a moment then exhaled slowly, "You know Michael, before I came here I met a beautiful girl, her eyes were purple while her hair was pale yellow, she gave me a bottle of water which had to be mixed with normal water to be poured into this forest. , who's she?" "Aqliya, an Elf who is the daughter of the Elf King. Her mother has purple hair. They are very captivating."

"Yes, you're right, my competition continues to increase, from other nations."

Michael laughed loudly, "You only have two rivals, Katherine and Romeda, while Aqliya, will always help us." He said, embracing V's shoulder and walking towards the car to take shelter from the hot sun.

They just got into the car. As quickly as someone passed by, Michael and V looked at each other and then looked into the forest which was already starting to light up. "Why do I have a bad feeling? You call the project head to rest first. The devil will be angry when she sees the forest is bare." Where is His Majesty the King, I want to meet him," said this beautiful girl. She was in a hurry to report what Romeda had done to her two friends. Before Romeda kills them, the elf army must act.

"His Majesty the King is looking for the 3 Cupids in the forest. You can come back later."

"What's wrong," asked the Queen who suddenly appeared from behind the King's confidant.

This beautiful green-haired girl explained what happened to her. The Queen took her straight into the room for a serious talk.

As a wife, she was a little worried about what Romeda was doing. She wanted to lighten her husband's burden. Then she would take over, rescuing the detained elves.

"Let's go look for mermaid scales, I know where they are and we won't hurt them."

The Queen went to a place where she could talk to the fish in the sea who would convey messages from her.

A small fish approached her, then left after receiving a message to be delivered. She doesn't need to dive to the bottom of the sea to look for mermaids whose whereabouts are difficult to find.

These shy creatures will quickly move if they feel a major threat befalling them. Moreover, the large Nargh has taken control of the sea that surrounds this island.

"Should we treat her, Queen? She deserves to suffer and receive the consequences of her actions," Said this girl.

"We don't need to be nice to demons because they always cheat and never respond with kindness. After those two come out, you go, I'll deal with them."

"But... the Queen—"

"Tell the King, if I don't come back until morning, then save me."

She knew the consequences of dealing with a devil, if she couldn't talk well then a fight was inevitable. As fellow women from different nations, they will have one or several things in common to influence each other. She wanted to know what plans Romeda had made to control this area.
