On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His - Chapter 181
Aqua and family thus reunited after long long time. Happy tears streaming down everyone’s face. They apologised to her for making her go through some painful days. But instead of sadness, she had interesting tales to tell them. Her adventures alone away from home with the man she loves and doing what she loves, designing clothes, helping people, making her own money and living without any rules.
Everyone listened to her in wonder. But then Milan broke the surprise. Come and see my room,” she invited her sister, soon after they reached back home.
Aqua opened the chamber of the crown princess. She walked in. It looked like her room itself. All the decorations. Milan led her to the wardrobe. Aqua was shocked.
A whole place full of clothes she designed. All her master pieces had been bought by her sister, and Aqua had no clue about it..aqua looked at Milan and hugged her tight once again.
“This is crazy,” Aqua said.
“Not at all,” Milan replied.
“Ok, listen, what is the update on Emperor Tai? Something does not feel right,”
“What happened?” Milan asked. She turned serious.
Aqua began to narrate the story.
“You think it’s some kind of fun attack?” Shw asked her sister.
“Am sure its Volca, but… I have a feeling,” Milan said.
“I have the same feeling,”
“She could have joined hands with Emperor Tai, becoming greedy for the position as well as For Huo’er,” Milan explained.
“Very well said,” Aqua said. To have brought out the same thoughts she had inside her. “Volca is turning vicious, as each day passes,”
“There is no doubt in that sister, we have to stop her,” Milan suggested.
“We will send her away,” Aqua said.
“Why not silence forever?” Milan asked.
“No,” Aqua immediately said without thinking twice.
“She is going to be the pain in your neck, why?” Milan asked.
“No Milan, no, that is not right to do,” Aqua said. Thinking about playful Volca for a second. She could not come up with a heart to kill the Demoness.
“Let’s go discuss with father,” Milan said and took Aqua to the court. When Aqua entered the Court, she recalled everything that had happened the last time she stood there.
“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.
“Goodbye,” she uttered those words.
“That’s my girl,”
Aqua came back to her senses. She saw her father standing in front of her, on the throne. Since she had no titles, she knelt down and bowed the Water King.
“What are you doing?” King Aenon asked her. He did not like it. “Don’t repeat it,” he warned her.
“Yes your higness,” she said.
“Who am I?” He asked her. Listening to her addressing him like others.
“The King of Water Realm,” she said.
“Who am I to you?” He asked again.
“My biological father,” she said. King Aenon lost it.
“If you call me anything except father or pa, I will send you on exile again,” he said. Aqua laughed out loud.
At that time, someone walked in without permission. Aqua turned back immediately. She could smell the trouble. She looked at her father and back at the person who was walking in.
“What are you doing here?” King Aenon asked him.
“Am here to make a report,” he said and knelt down.
“What is it?” Aqua asked looking at her father who looked a little tensed unlike his usual self.
The atmosphere turned all serious. The smiles quit the face. The heart pounded a little. Wondering why? Aqua grew anxious all of a sudden. She never had had a peaceful moment in life ! Not even once.
