On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

"Wow..." Jin exclaimed as the royals of Water Realm stepped inside the Celestial Palace. 

"Is it not amazing?" Aqua asked with a smile.

"Beautiful sis, beautiful, so happy, it looks beautiful than underwa..." But Aqua stopped her.

"Hush now," she shushed him. "Remember to not say such things and get into trouble," Aqua advised him so that he would not offend any people. 

"Ok ok I got it," he corrected the mistake immediately. 

"Keep quiet you two," King Aenon told the two and reached the destination. 

King Aenon was welcomed and so was his team, they showed the invitation and walked into the court. Not everyone had reached. Empress Lihua had not come to the throne yet. Few court members were arranging things for the guests. It was just a two day meeting. But the staying arrangements had been properly completed. 

"Hello Aenon, you came," Beast King walked towards them with jus three sons. 

"Of course," King Aenon replied. "Why would I not?"

"Did you not join hands with Demons? So I thought you would not, and totally forgot about the duties," Beast King smirked throwing insults at Water King. 

Aenon laughed out loud instead. "My dear friend," Aenon said. "My duty is to the universe, protecting, and saving innocent people from unfair death, how would a beast like you would understand a human?" King did not stay silent but threw the insult back in the same way; through jokes. 

"Abba stop," Third prince said to his father, rye beast king, feeling ashamed standing in front of Aqua. "Let's go, please stop," Aqua smirked. 

One by one all the Kings and Queens arrived. The court filled with royals. Everyone arrived on the said time and got ready for the meeting.

"My dear son what are you doing here?" Empress Lihua asked as she got his scent the moment he entered the room, without even looking at him. 

"How did you know?" Demon King asked.

"Mother knows the child's presence the best," Empress Lihua replied. 

"Oh come one Maa.." he said and smiled, walking towards her. Empress Lihua kept the crown on her head for the last time. "You are the best Empress the universe has,"

"The most cowardice, that would be appropriate," Empress Lihua corrected his words.

"Maa..." 

"It is fine my son, I never wanted this but I had to endure everything since I ended up here, it is all over now, I don't want this anymore, it is too heavy for me to carry on," she said and stood up from her dressing table. 

"Ma.. you always did well," Huo said and consoled his mother. "You should go, everyone is already waiting for you,"

"Yes indeed everything is set, Empress I hope you win with your agenda," a female voice said.

"See she is here too, I know you came to see her, has it been two day and you cannot eart with her?" Mother made fun of her son's feelings. 

"Ma.." he said laughed. It was short and happy moment. 

"Come in Aqua, look who is here," Empress Lihua said. "Don't get caught Demon King, don't alert others about your arrival, lie low," Empress warned Huo and prepared some scrolls to carry with her. But Huo and Aqua did not notice that.

"Hey baby," Huo said and pulled Aqua closer. 

"Why are you here? You should not..."

"Shhh...." Huo stopped Aqua keeping his forefinger on her lips and giving a seductive smile. 

Aqua took a bite on his finger. He put his arms around her and kissed her nose tip. "You look pretty," he said.

"I see," she smiled. He leaned and took her lips in his. They kissed standing there. 

"Kids these days don't respect their parents, making out in front them, giving a heart attack," They suddenly heard Empress Lihua moving around the room.

"Maa," Huo said. Aqua pushed Huo'er away immediately and accidentally hurt him a little. 

"Oww.." he then said looking at Aqua. "Don't treat me like a thief," he said.

"Empress Lihua we thought you left," Aqua said. "Forgive me," she asked for forgiveness instantly. 

"It's okay it's okay," Empress Lihua says smiling and walked out of the bed chamber. 

"I will go with her," Aqua said. But Huo pulled her back again and gave her a back hug. He kissed her neck and tickled her. She got goosebumps all over her. "Keep your hands of me Demon King," she told him trying to control her feelings. "Huo, Huo, don't, not now," she said and kept doing it. She did not wish to get aroused and miss the meeting at the moment. She managed to escape from his hands. "I'm going, you stay here, don't walk around," she told him. "What?" She askedooking at his face. "What is with the face?" 

"Disappointment," 

"Oooohh," she suppressed her smile. "Why?" He pouted his lips. The Demon King and future were acting like reckless couples so in love. She put her hands around his neck and kissed him and let him go.

"Come back soon," he said and she walked out.

"Bye," and she disappeared.

Empress Lihua sat on the throne with her heads held high. She welcomed the guests with all her heart and served them with the best drink and snack. 

"I hope all of you are well," she said. "I had to summon all of you sooner than I planned it," she began. She got up from the throne. "Let me tell you what the agenda is going to be,"

Every Kings and Queens looked at each other. Their hearts rising. King Aenon remained silent. He looked at his daughter who walked and sat next to him. 

"Where did you wander off to?" He asked her.

"I got lost while trying to find my way back," she lied.

"Or did a demon kidnap you?" He asked. 

"Paa.." that was unexpected a d Aqua did not expect to get caught. She nudged Jin sitting next to her. "Is there anything on my face?" She whispered.

Jin observed carefully. "Sis.."

"Yeah?"

"Nothing.. no nothing," he said. 

"Oh good. Then how?"

"Oh wait, what bit you? I think some insect bit you, on your neck," Aqua immediately cover right side of her neck. 

"Not an insect, who knows, maybe a dragon," Aenon passed the comment. 

"Paa...." Aqua was embarrassed. 'Huoooooooo,' she thought. 

"Oh dragon hickey, nice," Jin joked. 

"Shut up," she said to Jin.

"You two shut up and listen," Aenon said.

"Today," Empress Lihua continued. "We will decided about who the next one is," the court went silent for a minute. Lihua's words were loud and clear.
