A Trial (Continued)

The most likely explanation is that she is a hybrid of Blood Demon and Banshees...

But...

The more the two thought about it, the more confused they became, but regardless of Maria's identity, they had to set an example.

"We apologize, Banshees Queen, please forgive our rudeness..."

They bowed to Maria in a humble manner.

After seeing these two set an example, Lamaline turned to look at Maria.

"How about it?"

"... Um."

Maria didn't say much, but simply lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Warfarin, who was completely stunned.

No...

The Queen of the Banshees and... the Banshees Queen?

I've only been separated from Maria for less than two weeks, haven't I?

How did she manage to become the queen of the Banshees king?

Ah?!

"You can go back now."

Maria didn't say anything superfluous or pointless; she simply used the most basic words to warn the other party.

"You can't take this person with you..."

With the calmest tone, Maria uttered the strongest words.

She really didn't like the Blood Demon.

In this situation, Warfarin was someone she knew, someone who could barely be considered a friend, while these Blood Demon made her uncomfortable... Weighing the two, she knew who to help.

Moreover, Warfarin hadn't done anything wrong. Judging from her words just now, she didn't want to help the Blood Demon participate in the war and resist.

Maria agreed with this point.

"This..."

Upon hearing Maria's words, the two Blood Demon hesitated for a moment. After a while, they actually straightened their backs and looked at Maria with hostility.

They have to bring Warfarin back!

"I'm sorry, Your Banshees Queen, we cannot obey your commands..."

"Um?"

Lamaline frowned as she saw that the other party was ignoring her own family's words.

But before she could utter her rebuke, Maria responded with a simple gesture.

No one saw her actions clearly.

All anyone could see was the Blood Demon's head suddenly exploding to the right...

"I really don't have much patience for you guys..."

Maria spoke softly, her gray eyes coldly fixed on the Blood Demon who was still in a daze.

"Before the stench of your rotting, nauseating blood completely enrages me, you'd better disappear from my sight..."

On the peaceful street, the corpse suddenly knelt down without warning.

The exploded head didn't even give the other party a chance to reply.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, Maria had killed a Blood Demon!

Her decisive aura intimidated the Blood Demon beside her. He looked up in astonishment at Maria in front of him, his teeth chattering involuntarily.

"You... you're doing this...!"

"..."

Maria didn't say anything; she just stared at the person in front of her, her posture, expression, and eyes... without the slightest change from beginning to end!

And it was this that made the man feel a chill run through his body.

You'll die...

This Banshees queen... she's truly the kind of person who's ruthless and doesn't talk much!

Even her own lord was a mild-mannered person compared to her.

Dukale wanted to kill because something about the other person made him unhappy.

But Maria was different...

The mere sight of Blood Demon before her was enough to ignite her fury.

She really does take action!

Gritting his teeth, the remaining Blood Demon dared not stay here for even a moment, turning around and fleeing in a sorry state.

Seeing the other party's disheveled state, Maria didn't bother to pursue, but simply turned her head slightly to look at Lamaline.

"Feel sorry..."

After all, she is now the Queen of the Banshees, and to have killed a Blood Demon while holding this identity... this might cause trouble for the Banshees.

"Nothing."

To Maria's surprise, Lamaline seemed quite forgiving of herself.

"Anyway, he offended us first. Under these circumstances, even if the Blood Demon wanted to cause trouble, there was nothing he could do."

Lamaline spoke, she took Maria's hand again, turned her head, and looked at Warfarin, who was still terrified in the alley.

"Speaking of which, you haven't introduced this person to me yet..."

"Ah... me, me..."

When Lamaline mentioned her, Warfarin was stunned for a moment before she quickly straightened her clothes and bowed to her.

"Blood Demon, Warfarin, is a doctor."

"Um."

Lamaline nodded slightly, but her gaze only swept over the girl before returning to Maria, gently squeezing the other's hand.

"We only traveled together for a while... but we parted ways after arriving at the Banshee Capital."

Maria didn't understand the girl's implication. She simply answered the question honestly and then looked at Warfarin in front of her.

You seem a little nervous...

"Forehead..."

Warfarin was somewhat embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Having grown up as a wanderer, dealing with ordinary people every day, it was impossible for her not to be nervous when she suddenly saw the Banshees Banshee Court and witnessed Maria's violent power.

And...

"I'm actually... a Blood Demon too."

Looking cautiously at Maria in front of her, Warfarin felt for a moment that she was incredibly lucky to be alive.

Thinking back, when I first met her, I was worried that she would threaten the refugee group I led, and I even threatened her with a knife.

But looking back now... I might have been a bit too brave back then.

"There's nothing to worry about."

Maria remained calm in the face of Warfarin's concerns.

She hates Blood Demon, but not all Blood Demon.

She has her own set of criteria for judging this thing... Anyone who has experienced battle will have an indelible trace of bloodlust on their body.

She judged a person's first impression based on their temperament and demeanor.

Although Warfarin also had a bloody aura, those smells did not make Maria uncomfortable.

This is also why she didn't take action when Warfarin threatened her before.

In contrast, the Dukale we'd met before... his every move annoyed Maria.

If she could, she would even like to kill him on the spot.

However, considering her current status, Maria didn't want to cause the Banshees too much trouble.

This inevitably limited Maria's actions.

This is also why she doesn't like joining any particular faction.

"Is that so?"

Warfarin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Maria say that she was safe.

With a whoosh, he pulled himself out of the garbage heap and turned to look at the two people present.

After thinking for a moment, he scratched his head.

"Thanks again this time... If everything's alright, then I'll continue my escape?"

"Run?"

Maria tilted her head upon hearing Warfarin's words.

Where are you going?

"Have no idea."

When Maria asked her the question, Warfarin had no answer.

All she could think about now was to run away as fast as she could, wherever she could get, as long as she didn't get caught by the Blood Demon.

As for the rest...

She couldn't give an answer either.

"In that case... why don't you stay with the Banshees?"

Seeing Warfarin's helplessness, Lamaline offered a suggestion.

"It just so happens that the Banshees's side is short of a qualified doctor. Your joining might be of great help to me..."

"This..."

Warfarin hesitated. It wasn't that she didn't believe the Banshees could protect them, it was just...

"I won't treat those who went to war..."

Warfarin felt that some things should be discussed in advance.

The reason she didn't return to the Blood Demon Royal Court was because she knew that those crazy guys would definitely join in various wars, and the reason they summoned her back was only to have her treat those war lunatics.

This is something she absolutely doesn't want to do!

Even though the Banshees had just helped her, she wouldn't do anything that crossed her bottom line.

She escaped to avoid healing those people, so why would she turn around and go to the Banshees to heal those who participated in the war?

"All you need to do is look after the injured and sick."

Lamaline chuckled softly and silently made her promise...

Not long after, Warfarin was brought to the Banshees's camp by Lamaline.

The Banshees quite curious when a Blood Demon suddenly appeared among them.

However, perhaps because the Banshees were indeed carefree, they had no objection to his joining them. On the contrary, they were quickly won over by this highly skilled doctor and began to accept him.

And this is Lamaline wanted to see.

"You may not know this, but I heard her story when I was studying... Many books record the story of this elusive yet highly skilled Mr. Blood..."

Inside the room, Lamaline washed herself while talking to Maria outside the bathroom.
