Reader's POV

{ What? Younger brother? }

"A true fool you are, younger brother.
You will kill me? Though, you were born a prince... you got caught up in the ancient faith, went against the Royal Family's intentions... and betrayed us by running with the Evil-Blooded,"
she continued.

I grit my teeth, taking Mujika's hand into mine as I saw her frown.

(Mujika frowning reminds  me of a sad puppy. She's too precioussss )

"You guys are the betrayers. Greed caused you to turn away from the truth we need to follow.
You distorted everything with that stupid promise. In addition, you tried to monopolize and erase the power of the Evil-Blooded.
You make me sick."
she told him.

Mujika's grip tightened on my hand. 

"No matter. I no longer have any expectations or interest in you."
she finished.

Mujika turned back to everyone. 

"Emma. Norman. Ray. You need to take him and retreat now,"
she said.

I raised a brow to ask "what about me?"
she simply gave me a smile.

"No... I still can't move him,"
Norman stated.

"Mujika, what is that? What is up with the Queen?"
Ray asked.

"Queen Legravalima has two cores. Now that you've destroyed ones of the cores, she's revived herself with the other. 
It's a secret trait that has been passed down in the Royal Family since the first king. I don't know much about it either. 
But in the Royal Family... in rare cases, a child is born that way,"
Mujika explained.

"What about Sonju?"
Emma asked.

"He shouldn't have that trait. He's the same as other demons. Of the children of the last King, only Legravalima has two cores."
Mujika responsed.

I nodded slightly, taking it all in.
Behind us, Sonju and the Queen had begun their fight.

Sonju soon fell back and my eyes widened.

"Sonju!!"
I yelled.

"You're correct. My core is currently in my chest. But so what? Even if you know that, nothing changes.
You can't do anything, I won't let you. Even you, the young outcast of the Royal Family.
Nothing can touch me. Truly exhilarating,"
She said.

"This is indeed power!! Absolute power!! Sonju, you will never understand. The elating feeling of omnipotence.
I didn't just revive— I was reborn!! With overflowing power and a new body.
I can retrieve all the memories and powers of those I've devoured and wield them as mine.
Do you understand? I have reached that state!!"
She said.

"This is the world... of the chosen one. All the world is mine.
All lives, my food. The subordinates, citizens... enemies, humans...even my family!
I will eat more than anyone... and become stronger than anyone!!"
She announced.

My eyes widened as I watched the bodies form behind her.

Her face had started to form different.

"Run, Mujika!!"
Sonju yelled.

The Queen's claws were at us again.
I stood next to Mujika, our hands together, not backing down.

She was focused on Mujika for now. But I wouldn't let her have her.

"Why do you make that face? Why do you not ruin?
You poor creature. Why are you... so desperate to fill your hunger?"
