Luna approached duz and tried to drive the wooden stake through his chest, but duz easily tilted her body to the side to avoid the stake. After that, she grabbed Luna's arm with her right hand.
And with her left hand, duz grabbed Luna's neck and squeezed it.
"You..." Luna gritted her teeth as she felt her neck being squeezed by duz. But without giving up, Luna used her left hand that was free to try to rip duz's face off.
'Take that!' Luna scread in her mind as she drove her nails into duz's face and scratched him with all her strength.
Or she thought she was.
"I told you you wouldn't be able to hurt ." duz squeezed Luna's neck even tighter and then threw her against the wall of the house with all his strength. The wooden wall break and Luna flew out of the house.
Luna who felt all the air in her lungs being thrown off began to have difficulty breathing.
And at the sa ti, she felt a huge pain in her all body.
But even though she was having trouble breathing and had pain all over her body, Luna stood up and looked at duz while smiling.
'That girl is determined. It's nice to find people like that, who love to fight for their lives and the lives of others.' duz felt her satisfaction rise again.
She made it very evident as she let out a sigh.
"You are completely crazy." Luna who watched her act like that ran towards duz and tried to hit the stake into her again. But duz even though she was a bit distracted, avoided the wooden stake easily.
Then Luna started trying to hit duz in different ways.
With her wooden stake, with her legs, with her claws.
Unfortunately, all his attacks were easily avoided. Luna looked at duz's face and noticed that she was smiling as she avoided her attacks. She was showing that she was having no difficulties.
She was having fun with it.
"Why don't you kill ? Why are you playing with like this?" Luna tried to drive the stake into duz's chest again.
"I don't know if I told you, but I like to see people desperate and fighting for their lives. I am a demon after all." duz took another leap backward and avoided the wooden stake.
"But if you don't kill , I will kill you." Luna soon after spun her body around and tried to land a kick to duz's waist.
Her leg was easily caught by duz. But taking advantage that duz was distracted, she threw the wooden stake into duz's chest with all the force she had.
"As I said, you can't hurt ." But the wooden stake was broken to pieces before it even hit her.
"How?" Luna looked at duz startled since she hadn't even been able to see what had broken the wooden stake she had thrown.
"It's simple, it was with this hand here." duz showed her left hand.
"I see. I guess that's my defeat." Luna still had her right leg being held by duz so stood still in front of duz without making any movent.
'I can't do anything here, dammit.' Luna felt enormous frustration at being beaten so easily.
No, she wasn't beaten, this wasn't even a battle from the start.
'She was just having fun with , damn it. What's the point of trying to do sothing if I'm just going to end up dying? Damn it!' Luna continued to stare at duz while holding back her tears.
duz realized that Luna was not well.
"Your body is trembling... Are you afraid?" duz started to smile and then let go of Luna's leg.
"I'm just frustrated and sad and..." Luna replied to duz and then fell to the ground. She sat down on the dirt floor and then looked up at duz.
"I see. Are you sad because I killed your friends?"
"I was thinking about that earlier. I don't know if I'm angry and sad because of my brother or because of my friends that you just killed. It's so strange."
"..."
"I feel like I should care more about my brother's death, but just a day later I feel like he's not dead and I should continue to support him... What kind of thoughts are those?"
"You are going crazy..."
"Maybe..." Luna smiled bitterly.
"But now I need to kill you, okay?" duz asked politely as he crouched down and looked into Luna's eyes.
"Fine, you can do that." Luna smiled at duz as her body trembled. She closed her eyes and began to cry uncontrollably.
duz looked at Luna for a while and wiped the smile off her face.
'Master, can't we leave this girl alive?'
[ Why do you want that? ]
'I don't know. As much as I don't care about her and I like to see people suffer, I feel like I don't want to kill her here.'
[ I understand. But unfortunately, that can't be done, you have to kill her. She's already given up, just do it fast. ]
'Right.'
Receiving his master's order, duz sighed and then looked at Luna who was still crying silently.
"Hey, fox girl."
"Hm?"
"I tried."
"You tried?"
"Yes." duz took his right hand and with his claws slashed Luna's neck.
"GAAH~~" With a strange sound, Luna put her hand on her neck as tears stread all over her face and the blood leaking from her neck soiled all her clothes.
But it was montary despair. After feeling her consciousness and her pain was going away, Luna smiled and lay down on the dirt floor.
'She keeps smiling, how strange...' duz looked at Luna's face in confusion.

A few more days passed and the capital of Southlein was recovering quickly.
With the queen's efforts, the food supply was back to normal and the country's economy was circulating again. By now so stores, restaurants, and inns were back.
Of course, with the death of so many people, so restaurants and inns were abandoned because their owners died.
But there weren't many of them as usually the owners had children and they were taking over the business from their parents.
So apart from the fact that so people are still a little injured, the capital is in a normal state.
"So how are people reacting to the capital's recovery?" Inside a room, the queen was looking at the middle-aged woman who had been helping her.
Her na was Chetla and she was the wife of the country's pri minister who ended up dying during the attack that happened to the capital.
Both he and his little daughter of about 5 years old were killed while they were still in their mansion.
Chetla was called by the queen for her status and also for her competence.
"They are reacting very well. We have also started to receive visits from other countries, everything is getting back to normal." Chetla smiled happily as she said this.
The queen looked at her and smiled bitterly.
"Chetla."
"Yes?"
"How did you feel when your husband and daughter died?"
At the sudden question, Chetla bowed her head and looked extrely sad and thoughtful. Seeing this the queen desperately got up from her chair and walked over to her.
"Ah, no need to talk about it, I'm sorry for that question. It's just that... I can't get over Thoan's death and I don't know how you're coping with the death of your husband and daughter..."
"About that, of course, I'm not over it. I don't even want to co ho because of it."
"..."
"It's very painful, but I'd rather focus on my work so I don't keep thinking about unnecessary things."
"Got it..."
"And about the king, I hope you will get over his death."
" too... It's just that I keep worrying about Runa. She keeps asking about your father all the ti."
"That's normal. In ti she'll realize exactly what happened. What you need to do is to stay by her side and support her."
"Of course I'll do that."
"Good."
"All right, Chetla, I'm sorry for saying sothing unnecessary, you may leave now."
"It wasn't sothing unnecessary, don't worry about it. If you'll excuse ." Chetla bowed elegantly and then left the room.
After she left, the queen sat down again.
After a few minutes, the door was opened again, revealing Lett holding Princess Runa's hand.
"Mommy!" The princess let go of Lett's hand and ran toward the queen.
The princess jumped into the queen's lap after getting closer.
"How are you? Did you have fun?" The queen kissed the princess on the forehead and smiled.
"Yes, Lett helped build a castle made out of the dirt."
"That's great."
After that, the queen continued to listen to the princess's story.
Lett went to the corner of the room and seed to be enjoying herself as she watched mother and daughter having fun together.
