On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 56: He is hard to get

"What happened? What are you thinking?" Huo asked her interrupting her wildest thoughts. Volca woke up from her day dream and looked around, standing at the edge of the cliff. She turned back and looked the rock and then looked at him. Huo was standing, keeping a safe distance from her. He looked eager to know things and not for her. Volca couldn't believe about how she has been dreaming about stuff, and unexpectedly lustful for him. She pinched herself again and realised not a scene was real and carefully stepped back from the edge.

"Oh damn it," she cursed herself.

"Huh?" he raised his brows.

"Are you alright?" she asked him. She wished so much for the elixir to work like it did in her dream on him. It made her realise about why it hasn't been working on him well though she could sense a little change in him compared to the times he doesn't consume them. But not as much as she wants him to act. Volca again blushed red as she gazed at him for a moment and quickly looked away before he caught her. She couldn't resist her feelings.

Huo felt it weird to see what she has been doing since the afternoon. His curiosity was killing him all the way long. Yet he chose to patiently wait since it was his need that is to be satisfied by her. He patted her shoulders and took her hands, dragging her behind him. He walked towards the small rock behind them and asked her sit on top of it.

"Sit while you speak, you look tired a little," he said. Volca's eyes suddenly grew wide, sparkling. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at him. 'Is it going to happen like I imagined ? Why is he doing the same thing ?' she thought.

"Sit here," she said to him, keeping her hands on the rock next to her. He nodded and took his sit. He wasn't tired though but had to obey her. He prepared himself and made up his mind to accept whatever she was going to say to him about his past. "I know you're waiting for me to open up," she said knowing it well. But she enjoyed seeing him this way. It gave her some kind of satisfaction to have him walk behind her. She enjoyed it. She felt like she was winning.

"Well," he said and shrugged. "It's upto you,"

"You can choose to believe it or not, but you should know one thing," Volca turned very serious. "Know just this one thing. Am never giving upon you, I will never," she swore to him. "I have always been there for you in the past, I will always in your future too, this time am not losing to anyone, I don't have the will to, and I will make sure you reach the position you deserve, trust me on that," He just smiled and listened to things carefully weighing each and every word of hers.

She searched his eyes for a response. She badly wanted it but got nothing from him, except a confused look and an alluring smile. She smirked and looked away. 'Why is it so hard to win him over though he is this weak?' she asked the question to herself inside her head.

"I am grateful to have you with me," he said few minutes later. "Don't worry about me, or you, if it is something that bothers you from speaking to me, then you can choose not to tell me," he said trying to console her in his own way. It was twilight. The moon appeared bright and the night approached fastly.

"We used to be best friends back at school," she began. "I have known you from the first day I joined the school, you were appointed as my guide until the day I graduated," she decided to continue with the story she had dreamt about and tactically moved on with the story.

"So we were like a trio only that we wouldn't interact much?" he asked her in between.

"More like a sinking triangle romance I would say," she spilt the truth. She narrated everything carefully, measuring her words and turning the tables to her side, and shadowing her best friend, picturing her negatively. Hiding him from the reality, keeping him out of the feelings.

"Who is she ?" he started to load her with questions for everyone word she uttered. His heart kept pounding fast for every word that came out of her mouth. He didn't know which to believe and which not to. He felt it a bit exaggerated but also possible to have happened.

"The Water Princess," and Volca continued with the whole story she came up with. The look on Huo'er's face was what Volca had been expecting to see. The mixture of hurt, and the heart broken look. He looked disappointed. But inside, he wanted to know more about what happened to him, and remember his own feeling about everything. She progressed with the storytelling. As she continued, Huo'er's expression changed more and more like he was defeated and betrayed. He gasped in between.

Yes, to him, it was unbelievable. He was not able to accept the fact that in Volca's story, he has been a silly coward and an incompetent, blind, poor guy who trusted a woman and got killed by her in the end. His pride hurt to think that he got tricked by all the wrong people in life. But still he was not able to accept the matters about whether Volca was saying him the truth or not. He sat there all shocked and felt tired all of a sudden with heavy thought clouding his mind.

He could see tears streaming down Queen Regent's face nonstop as she kept on going with the history of him. The more he heard about it, the more he wanted to recollect his memory by finding a good medicine. He felt bad for Volca who kept confessing her feelings. But did not feel ready for it. He pretended to be feeling bad moved closer to her. He took hands in his, and pressed them. Asking her to stop crying. But she used the same line again.

"And in anger, shame and regret, you stabbed her right in her heart, she dropped dead, but before she died, she transferred her unique power, the Crystals in to you to kill you, you both died in each other's arms but you returned and she can't, " she looked at his face that looked serious and sad. "She might not come again, and probably my prayers were heard. I have you now, fine and healthy, but need more training,"

He got up suddenly and kept his hand on his head, rubbing his forehead. "I killed the Crown Princess of the Water Realm," he grew tensed. Though he has no clue about what their relationship was, he saw it as a crime, to have wronged a Realm. "Damn it," he cursed under his breath.

"Huo relax, it was nothing,' she said trying to calm him seeing his reaction.

"I did wrong. What do you mean by it was nothing?" he asked her. She got up and walked towards him. She took his hands.

"Relax, let me tell you," she said. "Listen, you don't understand, " she started looking at Huo'er's face, with her eyes brimming with tears that made her vision very blurred. She took his hands and kept it on her heart. "It hurts," she said. "So much," she looked at him. "All the love, betrayal and sins, regrets, you have no idea," He looked at her with all shocked. She enacted what she dreamt about expecting him to react the same way. He started feeling bad for her. His heart pounded fast as he watched and listened to her confession. "I know all that I have done just to get to you, but the events that took place were not just," she said. "It was never fair since the beginning, "

Huo stood speechless. As he have heard the complete story now, he wished badly to have his memories restored. He also felt scared. "So did the Grand Prince come today for?" he asked her. Though Volca was upset, she was least surprised to see his reactions. 'What was I thinking anyway,' she thought and decided to reply Huo.

"Yes Aiden came for you maybe, and then dropped it since you were with me, he knows well he can't win me," she said confidently. "We should be careful and hurry up with our procedures, you should take the throne and declare your return so that priority to your safety and protection beocmes mandatory for guards," she said.

"But you know well about my condition, " he looked concerned.

"I promised you already that I will be there for you, no matter what. Didn't I?" she asked him back. "That's all with your story today, why don't we head back home?" she said and tools his hands. She apparated straight back into his underground chamber. "Alright, why don't you relax now and I will ask the guards to bring you some more books and dinner after you wash up," she said and turned around to see something shocking. Huo stood silent and did not move a bit unable to come up with any idea. Volca stuttered. "I...,"
