Claire lied to Ella, telling her she was in front of her house, but she took an additional thirty minutes to arrive and stopped at various places for trivial reasons.

"Ella, it's me. Open the door," Claire said as she rang the bell.

Ella replied, "Wait for me," during those thirty minutes, Derek had reverted back to his cat form.

Ella pleaded with Milo, the cat form of the demon King. "I am serious; you can't change into human form in front of her."

Milo meowed, "It's not up to me to change forms."

Ella sighed, saying, "I couldn't understand you, but I'll take that as a yes."

Meanwhile, Claire was pondering how much longer Ella would take to open the door.

Ella took a deep breath and, with a fake smile, welcomed Claire.

Claire was so happy to see Ella that she hugged her tightly.

Ella struggled, saying, "Stop, I'm choking. I can't breathe."

Claire, overly excited, asked, "Did you miss me?"

"Why would I?" Ella replied with an annoyed expression. "Why are you so happy?"

Claire pouted, calling Ella "heartless," then changed the subject. "Okay, leave it. I have something interesting to tell you."

Claire explained how she met a handsome man named Ethan and how they had talked, and he had given her his card.

"I see now why you were so happy," Ella said, understanding her friend's happiness.

Milo meowed, "What's with this woman?"

Claire was surprised to see the cat. "When did you start raising a cat? A white cat with red eyes... The cat looks exactly like the one Ethan showed me."

"I found this cat on my way home," Ella replied.

Claire was happy that she found the cat and could now return it to Ethan. She took a photo of Milo and sent it to Ethan's number.

Surprised by the fast-paced events, Ella decided to calm her friend down and asked about Ethan.

"You must be happy now, since Milo will be able to meet his family again," Claire said.

"I don't know how to express my feelings," Ella admitted.

After receiving a positive response from him, Claire called Ethan and explained everything to him.

"Ella, Ethan is coming for his cat," Claire announced.

Ella glanced at Milo and said, "What the hell is happening?"

Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang.

"I'm not getting any good feelings," Ella murmured.

Claire opened the door, smiling like crazy. "Please, come in."

Claire introduced Ethan to Ella. As soon as she saw him, Ella realized he was also from the demon clan.

"Are you here to take your King?" Ella asked.

Ethan, upon hearing the question, understood that Ella knew everything.

"Where is his majesty?" Ethan asked.

"I am here," Milo meowed, tears in his eyes.

Ethan knelt down. "I guess you know our situation, Lady. I am here to take his highness back with me."

Ella asked seriously, "Tell me, who are you? How do you know him?"

Claire worriedly asked Ethan why he was kneeling and what was happening.

"I hope you keep this secret with you, ladies. Otherwise, I will have to take some serious action as per the Demon's law," Ethan said, his expression turning serious.

Claire, now scared, realized the gentle Ethan was no longer there. "I have no clue about this situation. What secrets are you hiding, Ella?"

Milo meowed, "Ethan, I don't want to go back, yet I need to stay with her. I want to know her secrets."

Ethan curiously asked, "Which secrets?"

All the conversation was happening telepathically; humans couldn't hear them.

"I will tell you later. First, come with me to another room. I want to change back to human form," Milo said.

Ethan understood and replied, "Yes, your highness."

Ella asked Ethan where he was taking Derek.

"We need to use your room to change him back into human form," Ethan replied.

Ella sighed and asked them to do it quickly since her aunt would be back from the company soon.

Ethan took Milo and went to Ella's room.

Claire worriedly asked Ella to explain everything.

Ella assured Claire that she would explain everything, even though it was quite unbelievable.qp
