On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 175: The Actual Reason

The soldiers stood there looking for King Huo'er and the shenlong Aqua. They were nowhere to be seen. They appeared to have disappeared, apparating. No one had a clue about everything that happened inside the court room for few minutes. Emperor Tai was fuming with anger and stepped out. 

"You will learn for this, don't forget," he warned King Aenon and walked away. "What are you waiting for? Come," he screamed at Volca who was still shocked at everything that happened. 

She followed her father. And they decided to leave the palace together. His only aim was to corner Aqua and kill her. But it was thoroughly spoiled by Demon King. He thought the Water Royals kept her in the house, when he searched for her she was not seen anywhere until he stepped inside the court. He was trapped then. But he did not understand why the family avoided her too. That gave him a confidence to land an attack on her. But that was a flop too. 

He could not understand why every single plan of his turns out to be useless. It raised his rage. It created the way for the demonic cultivation in him to come out. Volca saw the veins popping in his forehead and eyes turning black. But she ignored them. She prayed for someone to show up in front of them. 

Her prayers were heard. While taking the shortcut to exit the palace, Aiden appeared in front of them suddenly. Volca sighed with relief. And he noticed the dark weird eyes of Emperor Tai. The wind blew strongly that, and the rain began to pour down. 

"Move away," Tai ordered him. 

"It's dangerous to leave the Water Realm right now your higness, retrieve," he said back.

But Emperor Tai did not listen to the Grand Prince and apparated along with his daughter. Aiden failed to stop them. But he witnessed what he should. He ran back to the court where his family sat devastated, losing a family member. He informed them what he had seen. "He has demonic cultivation inside him, he has crossed the limits and broken all the rules, we did wrong, we not lost our strength but also the the trust, we made all the wrong moves, we have offended Aqua and Huo, we were so wrong, our plans have failed, we can no longer defeat Tai," he said and dropped on his keens, holding on to the wound Huo gave him. Milan rushed towards him. And touched his arms. He made a light sound. 'Aaghh.." he moaned. 

"Come with me," she said to him. 

King Aenon looked defeated and lost. Queen Rivera in tears, unable to stop crying. The picture of Huo holding their daughter, she kissing him and the two leaving saying goodbye kept flashing before her eyes. "We wronged our daughter, we wronged our first born, our only girl and hurt her bad, we should have known, we should have told her. We should have told her that we expelled her to let her run wild and take care of Emperor Tai, we should have warned her to remember her way back to her home and her throne, but instead we hurt her and met her choose the Demons, we showed her heaven is unfair, we are at fault, the shenlong will never forgive us," Queen Rivera went on. 

"I am the one responsible for this, if she has put on the black cloak, keeping the white aside, it means she is fed up, and hatred filled her heart, she is sensible, she would not have done it easily, she must have felt bad, a really lot that led her to choose the sides. Her love saved her, it's only natural for the love birds to get together," King Aenon replied back to his wife.

"Let's stop talking about who did wrong and who was right and find a solution to bring our girl back home," Prince Adrian said. 

"He is right, stop aching and crying, and start planning. She is important, she is our blood, we cannot lose her, how do we get her back?" Princess Krystal tired to console her sister in law, the Water Queen. "Relax sister, we will take back what's ours, we will get your daughter back, we will fight for this, and fight against every single unfair beings," 

"Emperor Tai has accepted Demonic ways, he is no longer fit to sit in the throne and ruin the universe, we should find a remedy," Prince Adrian said. 

"But we need a Phoenix, we were close to finding the answer, only Aqua knows what exactly happened, she went in search and she knows whether the Phoenix exists or not," Queen Rivera said.

"Why did you not ask before Brother?" Princess Krystal asked her brother, King Aenon. 

"Because we were busy planning to let her out free, we could not tell this to anybody everyone not only misunderstood but also feel bad for her,' Water King explained. 

"Oh," Krystal replied. "So she also did not tell you?" 

"We never let her approach us, avoiding her, since the battle on the day she returned, we got busy preparing for the ceremony," Queen Rivera said.

"It's a dumb excuse, but anyway sister, we have made the mistake, she is right, every word she uttered, she is right, you know it well," Krystal got up and she walked towards her husband.

The two left the King and Queen alone. Every single guest had left the moment the fight began, even the beast king and officials from Wind Realm, Prince Ash witnessed it all and left silently. He had nothing to say. King Zidan decided to not show up, unable to watch Aqua sent away but instead he sent the decree were he forgave her. But nothing worked in the end.

King and Queen looked at each other. He walked towards his wife and hugged her. "Forgive me," he said. "I made wrong moves this time, I should not have, i should have listened to you when you came and reported me about the question she asked you in the room, we should have stopped that day itself," 

"Everything happens for a reason, let us think that way Aenon, let us think that way," she said and wiped her tears.

Aiden laid on the bed in the dim lit room of his. He wanted to rest for sometime. Milan assisted him. The new crown princess of the Water Realm. It all still felt like a nightmare for her. A nightmare where her family has broken into pieces. But it was all happening.

"You look troubled Milan," Aiden commented looking at him woman. 

"Hmm..." she said and got some white clean clothes and ripped them to dress Aiden's wounds. 

"Don't worry," he said. "Sounds silly does it not?" 

"It does," Milan smiled a little and said to him.

"I kept avoiding Aqua because I was sure of myself spilling the truth to her. One conversation would have been enough for me. But I guess I should have let that happen," 

"That was my problem too, I did not think about it to the level where sister would feel abandoning and take a stand against the family, it's pretty shocking, brother in law was simply wow, coming to rescue sis, i never ever imagined anything that happened today," she said and looked outside. It was still raining. With heavy thunders and lightening. The candles were lit all around the palace. "Even the nature looks angry," she smirked. "Goddess is definitely angry,"

"It will be fine, soon," he said taking her hands in his, and kissed the back of her hands. "I have hinted the two anyway, they will definitely feel doubtful," 

"Really?" Milan was surprised. "Will she come back then?" She began to get excited. 

"The part am not sure of, I cannot take the image off my mind, the way she entered the court, opening the doors, and walking in in that heavy black dress, beautiful yes, but was it a right thing? No, it makes me wonder, whether she really gave up her life as an angel and accepted the Demon or if it's just to fool us all," 

"I felt the same Aiden," Milan agreed with him.

"Let's hope that it's not the case," Aiden sighed and moved towards Milan who sat next to him. He kept his head on her lap and laid silently. He slowly drifted off to sleep. Milan was tired herself and she also decided to catch up with her sleep for sometime. But her clothes were wet and she decided to change them, and she chose Aidan clothes from his wardrobe.

She took a bed spread and put them on the floor below coat and she laid there. She wanted the sleep desperately either. She closed her eyes and drifted of to dream land. A place that tempted her the most. Where her sister and her self went hunting and came back victoriously, it warmed the heart of the Fox Queen. She did not wish to wake up and remained asleep for a long time than she intended to. Seeing this, Aiden got up from his bed, covered her in quilt. He had no time to rest, with the mission he had taken upon himself. He got ready and put on the ninja costume of his, the purple hanfu and stepped out of the room. Surprises awaited him.
