On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 174: Goodbye

"Huo'er, i think it's time, her punishment has been declared, go in," General Hawk said.

"Hmm yes, wait here do not come in, I will get her, and we will go home, if she is willing to," he said and walked away. 

"Let's hope for the best," he said from the back as Huo left. 

Huo'er stood in front of the door, and they opened once again. The aura that attracted many. The Demon King made a great entry, and walked in. Straight towards the throne where King Aenon and family stood. 

"She will not shut her mouth," he said. "Not any longer, for you," Aqua looked to her left where he stood next to her soon. She looked at him face, glowing but full of fury, a dragon's fury is never an easy one to over come. 

"King Huo," Aenon said.

"Is it not over yet?" Huo but asked this straight. 

"What are you upto?" Queen Rivera asked Aqua who did not stop him. 

"Why does it matter to you?" She asked back.

"Aqua," Queen Rivera called out loud. 

"Listen to me," she said to everyone. "Your highness, do you remember the first time I held this sword in my hand?" She asked her father, who looked at her. "Do you remember what you taught me that day?" 

King Aenon did not say a word. But Aqua continued. "To not give up on what you feel is right," she smirked. She took few steps forward. "I know everything I did is right, I know every I did for my family is clear to everyone and I know very well that how everybody forced me to make choices I did not want to in the first place from my very young age, you and you," she pointed with her sword and ar her father and Emperor Tai. "You two are solely responsible for my nerve wrecking unhappy life, which I will no longer forgive or forget, living for the greater cause?" She asked. "Yes I am still living for the greater cause, but only that the cause altered but I will work for it, there is no turning back any longer," she said firmly. "Papa you must know what your so called daughter would have chose if she was in your position," she said looking at her father with tears whelming her eyes. 

"Aqua it's enough, we have to wrap up the trail," King Aenon said to her.

"Aneyo," she rejected the idea. "I want to speak my mind today, before I leave this place forever, " She took one more step forward. "If i were given your position, unlike you, I would have held my country close, family closer. Pa you should know, it wouldn't have mattered to me if I was kicked out, but it did when you hid this all from me, treating me like a stranger, showing me that I no longer have rights to be included in any sort of official matters. I had an experience recently," she said, looking at the Beast King. "Somebody severely mistreated me with an attitude, forgetting the fact that I had spend my days in pain, while i tried to cure his son, I decided I would never step into the Realm again," Beast King was shocked and embarrassed when everybody stared at him. King Aenon did not expect that. He got upset, and disappointed at his best friend. "I was meaning to say, I will no longer let it bother me, because my own family did not value me enough, to hold me close, how would a stranger who shares zero connection with me except depend on my powers would understand me?" Aqua simply insulted everyone with true facts. Huo stared her, when she revealed the fact. He then shot a look at the Beast King. 

"Aqua," Milan called her. But Aqua stopped her. 

"Pa, the righteous man lived the most righteous way, but he was great failure when it came to his family, he failed to protect his fmaily the vultures, his daughter from the dangers, from the unnecessary stress at a young age for a man who was not worthy enough and a lost cause of his, he failed to uphold the right and bring the justice, he was a righteous man in the history but only in the pages, not in his heart, never in his heart, for what the daughter has always seen through it, the righteous man was alright in the heart of millions, but severely failed in one's, and that is.." she stopped she did not have the power to keep attacking her father with her knife sharp words. She could see him sweating hard. Huo walked towards her and took her hands. 

"The universe ditched her, but the Hell will not, if you claim that she is a criminal, then I claim that there is no man in this world as righteous as she is, not even you," he said without flinching at the Water King. "You would not need her, but I do, and I will protect her with everything I have, Heaven has lost a dragon as powerful as the spiritual dragon, the nature will punish you all and the greater gods will learn a lesson this time, wait for the rewards," he said. Aqua looked at him and he looked at her. The blazing fire around him and the crystal blaze around her scared everyone present in the hall. They stood face to face. 

"It's over, let's go," he said. "The trail ends here," he shouted. 

"How dare you decide that?" Emperor Tai screamed and got up from the seat. It was not going as he expected it to be. He took his golden sword out threw at Huo who looked up slowly and the sword stopped right there. It did. He walked forward and the sword moved backward. 

"The golden sword will listen only to it's TRUE owner, you either have not learnt to control it after all these years, or this is simply not the golden sword. Come on, do share the truth with," Huo mocked him. He took the sword and observed it careful. The sharp blade with scriptures, the golden handle and its heat. "Not bad," he said nodding his head and swiflty he threw the sword back at Emperor Tai which shocked everyone, by the difference of a millimetre, the sword missed him and it went straight to the pillar behind him. Everyone made noises and gasped. The guards assembled and circled around Huo and Aqua. Huo smiled. It was getting interesting. General Devon and his troop ran inside to attack the Demon King and the title less Aqua. 

"Should we show them a good time?" He asked Aqua for permission. 

"I have got nothing to lose," she said and withdrew her sword. 

"Then I will take that as a yes," he said and withdrew his soul sword out. Aqua no longer had patience in her seeing the troops of Tai rushing towards then like crazy to kill them both. 

"I want to see the body of the two with their heads separated from their body,' Emperor Tai shouted at the guards. King Aenon stood there looking at his family wondering what to do. Then king Aenon opened the roof of the court. The sharp sunlight entered the hall from the above that tickled the eyes of the soldiers. His eyes searched for Aqua who was on a killing streak. He eyes Aiden and asked him to her out of the place. But when Aiden approached her, he had to fight her. 

"Listen to me, Aqua," he said.

"Don't ever call me that again," she warned him.

"No you are wrong, you got it all wrong," he tired to speak with her. But she had no will to listen to him.

"I dislike you, Just as much as I once loved you, right now at this moment, Aiden, so never show up in front of me again," Aqua was ruthless and chose not to forgive anyone in her life. 

"Why can you not accept the fact that we are trying to come up with a plan," he finally spit it out unable to stand her misunderstood hatred towards them. 

"Am not buying it," she said and kept attacking him, while he kept defending her moves. It was getting harder and harder. And Huo suddenly grabbed her and moved her away, pushing Aiden off. 

"You stay out off this," he said. "This is my family matter, " Aiden warned Huo.

"I am her only family," Huo said and landed an attack on him. Aiden tired his to resist.

"Oh crap," he said and fell down, the soul sword winded him on his abdomen a little. Huo immediately withdrew immediately and let him go. "Learn it yourself then," he said and rested a little. Huo grabbed Aqua and he floated. 

"Say goodbye," he said to her. He grinned. Feeling too excited to have her all by himself at the moment. Everyone who stood there watched the two. Aqua smiled a little and kissed his irresistible lip quickly. "Goodbye,"

"That's my girl," he said and pulled her closer. And they vanished into thin air.

"Aqua stop," King Aenon shouted. But it was too late. Aqua was longer in heaven.
