I scratched my chin and looked at the Goblin Queen and Ella.
’Looks like she isn’t that hostile toward humans. Maybe, she is a friendly one. She didn’t attack me. In fact, she was concerned about me. So, she is probably not an enemy.’
"She is..." I was about to answer her question, but was cut off by the sudden voice of Ella.
"I am his lover. His girlfriend. And he is my boyfriend. He is mine, and not yours. So, keep your hands off him."
’What?’
’Lover?’
’Girlfriend?’
’My girlfriend?’
’Mine?’
’She said I am hers. She said I am her boyfriend. But...’
’...I never agreed to anything.’
"What did you say?" Goblin Queen turned her head, and looked at Ella.
Her voice was low, and her face was dark.
She was no longer smiling, and her eyes were glaring.
She looked scary.
She was scary.
"You are his girlfriend?" Goblin Queen asked, her voice was filled with anger.
"Yes." Ella nodded.
"So, he is your lover." Goblin Queen’s words were like daggers.
"Yes."
"Then, you are his woman?"
"Yes. What of it?"
"He is mine." Goblin Queen replied, her voice was cold, and her tone was sharp.
"No, he isn’t," Ella replied back.
’Huh?’
’Why is the queen saying those things? Don’t tell me, is she serious about what she said just now?’
"He is mine, not yours. So, go find someone else." Ella said and Goblin Queen’s grip around my arm tightened.
"Do you have a death wish?" She said, her voice was low, and her eyes were narrowed.
"I would have just left you go if it was a joke because I thought you were Rael’s friend but now that you have said he is your boyfriend, then you must have a death wish."
"What?" Ella blinked her eyes.
Instead of saying anything further, Green Queen lifted her other hand, and flicked her index finger at Ella’s forehead.
’Huh?’
’What was that?’
Ella’s body was blown away, and flew in the air, and she hit the wall behind her.
"Ahhh!"
A scream escaped her lips, and she fell down, her butt hitting the ground.
The wall behind her was broken, cracks had spiderwebbed all over it.
Debris fell from the place where Ella’s body had crashed into.
"Ella!" Her parents shouted, but they were frozen in the place.
The other people were too shocked to speak.
"Stay down, otherwise I will forget that you were someone Rael knew and kill you." The Green Queen said.
"You..." Ella spoke, her voice low. "...listen carefully."
"He..." Ella’s body started to glow green, and green fire rose from her toe slowly covering her whole body.
"He is mine, and no one is allowed to touch him, or have him, except for me."
’This is bad.’
’She is getting angry.’
’Shit. Now what?’
’I should stop them.’
But Ella was too fast for me.
She leaped from where she had crashed and in the blink of an eye she had grabbed a hold of Goblin Queen’s face.
Oh, no!
Now, what is gonna happen?
"Rael is mine. He is my boyfriend. I love him, and no one is allowed to take him away from me. Not even a monster."
Ella’s hand was burning with raging green fire, and it was getting bigger and hotter by the minute.
She was burning Goblin Queen’s face, and was trying to burn her.
But her skin didn’t even blister, and there wasn’t a single sign of being burned on her face.
"You...are mistaken." The goblin queen spoke, her words were muffled by Ella’s hand, but her voice was clear.
"There is a limit to how far a joke can go, and you have crossed that line."
She raised her hand, and slapped Ella’s hand away from her face, and continued,
"I don’t care about whether you are a friend, or a relative, or an acquaintance of Rael, but the moment you claimed him as your lover, and as your boyfriend, and that too when he is supposed to marry me, I lost my patience. So, prepare to die. No. Wait, I won’t kill you. I will make sure you live long enough to witness the wedding ceremony of me and Rael."
Her voice was cold, and her words were heavy.
"And after the ceremony, I will send you to hell myself. So, be ready."
Her words were filled with hatred, and her tone was fierce.
’This is bad.’
’I should stop them before things get any worse.’
{No, wait. Let them fight.}
’Huh?’
{Yeah,}
’Are you really telling me to do nothing, and not stop them?’
{Yes. Let them fight. You will be able to see the extent of their power. Besides, this might even end up as an interesting fight. Also, I don’t want you to get hurt. If you intervene, you might end up getting injured.}
’I don’t know...’
’Hmmm...’
’...maybe you are right. I can just watch the fight with a cup of tea and enjoy it. Right. That’s a good idea. It would be like watching an anime battle between two female characters.’
But...
...what is this feeling?
I feel like I am the happiest person in the world.
Both of the girls are fighting over me.
And this feeling, it’s making me so happy.
I have never been so happy in my entire life.
’I have never felt like this before.’
’But, it feels so good.’
"Ha, we will see about that. Who will get to marry him and who will be the guest in the ceremony, stealing glances at Rael from sideways." Ella said, and she charged at the goblin queen.
She raised her hand and punched Green woman’s face.
Her fist was covered by green fire, and it was burning the air around her.
But the Goblin Queen didn’t even flinch.
She was calm and composed.
Ella’s punch was powerful, but she wasn’t strong enough to make the Goblin Queen flinch.
Shockwaves of air rippled from the point of impact, but the Goblin Queen remained calm.
Ella’s attack was futile, and it didn’t even scratch the Goblin Queen.
The green woman looked at Ella, and her mouth curved into a smile.
"Is that it? Is that all you got?" She asked.
Her words were like daggers, and they were aimed at Ella’s heart.
"If so, then, it is my turn next." Goblin Queen’s eyes shined green, and her whole body glowed with the same green color.
