On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

"Is it true?" Emporer Tai asked his new general Davon about the rumour, return of the Demon King. 

"I am not sure about it your highness, nobody has seen him anywhere yet in all these years, how can eh possibly be back when Late Prince Aaron made sure he died," Devon spoke confidently. 

Emperor Tai got angry for mentioning his dead son's name. The only son he had who no longer lived in this universe. Tai has been in dilemma unable to come up with a solution to pass the throne to someone worth since there is no heir to take the throne. All the mass murders and hard work to Tai went down the drain and it upseted him very badly. Emperor Tai glared at the gaurd and sipped his tea slowly. 

"Rest assured your holiness, do not panic for I will come and directly report to first thing when I hear about any abnormal activities  taking place around the heaven or hell. Emperor Tai nodded his head and asked the royal guard to leave him alone. 

Emperor Tai was enjoying his lone time in the Pavilion close to the mist river that came down from the Sky Realm. The coldest river in the heaven that has the pain relief power. Heavily wounded heavenly royal guards and ministers after ward are usually sunken into the river for a day to ease their pains from all the fractures in their body. It hasn't been used for years now after Tai and Dritan in Hell took the throne together. 

Emperor looked at the sky and closed his eyes, travelling to the stars, with his conscious, studying the stars himself to check if there has been any recent phenomenon that took place and found absolutely nothing.  'How can it be?' He thought and returned back to his body. But then he noticed something but he wasn't sure about it. 

Emperor Tai got up from his table and walked back to his palace in a hurry. He changed his robes and asked the eunuch to summon his Empress into the room immediately. He kept his crown in his head and out on the Phoenix embroidered cloak over the top. A Heavenly King's suit is the most elegant and unique in the universe. He asked the bed chamber maids to serve tea for two people and asked them to leave. He also ordered the meals for two since it was lunch time already. It has been so long since he had met his wife. Empress has been refusing to spend time with him ever since the death of both her sons that tormented her the most than it personally effected him. At one hand though his own son died, he has been happy on the death Huo'er and that too done by Aaron which made him feel satisfied and stay out of the endless hopelessness of his life.

After an hour, Emperor Tai heard a knock on the door. "The Empress is here your highness," the eunuch declared the arrival loudly, waiting for the approval to let in.

"Let her in," the king ordered her and waited for her to walk in. She looked too calm and composed in front of him. She did not look happy though to have been summoned forcefully. She bowed in front of him the moment she saw him and took a seat opposite him. 

"Your highness,are you sick? Why did you send people for bringing me in here ?" She asked him coldly. Serving the tea in the cups and giving him one. She then took hers and sipped slowly though the tea was extremely hot enough to burn the mouth. Emperor Tai only smelled it and put the come back on the tea table looking into the eyes of the Empress. She still seemed to be mourning for both her children. 

The pain in her heart didn't seem to go away, losing all the people she adored at once. Dritan, Huo and Aaron, and stuck with the man she hates the most, she couldn't understand why her life had to be like this. The more she thought about it, the more she hated Tai for forcefully marrying her and kicking out her son always on hunt for him.

But Aaron did make it a little better. But he was no different from his father, cruel and playful. A typical playboy Empress couldn't control over. 

"Lihua, listen to me," Emperor Tai said. The Empires looked at his face, who looked aged and tired all of a sudden. She didn't know how much he had changed over the years, not caring a little about him. 

In a way, Tai was the most unfortunate man on earth. To have fallen for a woman has already been with another man giving her heart and soul and give birth a power child. Tai has always been jealous rather than hate anything except his woman. 

A  fine young man but shouldering extremely difficult duties along with his father at the young age, Tai had a really rough life. Only thing that helped him endure all the lashes from his family has been the girl he peeped at in the school while she trained with her shifu Liwei. It brought him a great comfort, to watch her as he recklessly fell in love with a woman he knew nothing about. 

Hundreds of years passed but not his heart. Even though his harem was full of all sorts of women, his hunger for this girl has been left unsatisfied. Tai grew up into fine leader but she was having all fun in her life, being the best in her own way, being the Princess of the Star Empire who controlled the stars and fate of immortals. She was born with the dragon blood which was too rare in her Clan. 

Things were normal until one day when the rumours of her affair with the Demon Prince Dritan spread like a wild fire in the heaven. It shocked Tai. He lost his sleep for days and messed up his duty as the Prince. Unable to accept what he had heard, Tai sent his people in secret to find out in detail about his love's secret life and everything that he came to know killed him in one shot. 

The Princess of the Star Empire gave birth to a moonchild. An illegitimate child who will rise to the power with his blood and conquer the universe together, the prophecy said. Tai could no longer be patient and decided to play a game between the heaven and hell. Using his power, Tai promised the universe to suppress the demon power in the infant and met with Princess Lihua officially for the first time. He had already known about the Demon King's hatred and unwillingness to take Lihua as the daughter in law of the Demon Prince he adored.

"What do you want me to do?"  Tai asked Lihua who was on her knees, crying her heart out. 

"I beg you, don't do this to us, please, spare this child's life, he is nothing like what is said by the people,"  she begged him. 

"How can I assure my people then?" 

"I will do anything for you, I will, please please spare our lives,  we will leave heaven and live like we don't exist, I promise," she said to him.

"You don't have to do that," he said kneeling next to her, pinching her chin and looking at her face.

"What?"

"Marry me," he proposed suddenly. He didn't want Lihua an undenying beauty slipping through his hands though she has already been touched first by somebody else. "You're worth more than any treasure I have in my life, marry me and live a life you want, I will give you anything in return, you will decide everything in our lives, unlike Dritan who cannot go against his father and give upon on you and the child,"

"Your highness you are crossing the line," she said taking his hands off her body. 

"There has never been a line for me to cross, I have always been in your court, watching your every single move whenever I was free, don't doubt my love for you and question me Hua'er," he said smiling. He leaned in and gave a peck on her lips before he got up and leaving taking her by shock.

"Rememeber, war is easy to occur but losing loved once are hard isn't it? He warned about Dritan's safety all along before he left. Lihua was sure of Dritan leaving them but his safety mattered the most to her. Dritan and Huo'er's safety. Without thinking further, she said yes to Tai that very moment. And Tai was sure about how she had jumped into his pit in the thought of saving two lives he had decided to take anyway. 

Tai returned back and took her in his arms, carrying her back to her palace. He did not care who was inside there, but without shame carried her into her chamber. To Tai it was all out of love. But little did he know that his love had turned into obsession and it was that obsession that made him force his way into Lihua. 

Tai did not ask for any consent and kissed her. He took her lip while she tried to stop him but eventually gave since he held her arms right and cornered her against the walls. As he kissed her, he shut his thoughts about her affairs with Dritan and tried to enjoy the moment. He cupped her soft breats and felt the heat since she has been feeding the child and then ran hands towards her navel. He ripped her clothes and threw them away. Lihua was dying inside every second she spent with him. Tai admired her naked slender figure standing in front of him not respecting her feeling. He quickly sealed her powers and carried her over to the bed so that she wouldn't hurt him back.

Lihua had tears in her eyes as he did things to her. Tai took her nipples in her mouth and suckled them and slid into her slowly. He kissed her again and whispered in her ears. "I will protect you," Lihua was crying as he made love with her. He was wild and nonstop. He did not stop until he made sure he had given the child in her womb. She felt like a rape victim in the end of their intercourse, feeling sore and painful in her genital. He was breathless and lying next to her. "I told you, I have always been in your court, now you know," he said thinking about how he had expressed his love for her by loving her, unaware that he has been behaving worse than an animal.

Days passed and Prince Tai married Lihua rightfully against all the rumours and accusations. And she soon gave birth to a prince she conceived. The war never happened, Dritan took the throne of hell as the Demon King, but Huo'er was attacked often and in the end taken away from the mother for execution. That was the first thing Tai did soon after he took the throne as the Emperor of Heaven. Lihua became the most beautiful and well behaved Empress in the universe which she didn't love even for a second. But with duties entrusted by the gods, she couldn't ignore them.

To Lihua life looked meaningless but she had only one hope in life, her second son, Aaron. But years went by, he became a copy of his father. Ruthless and shameless, a womaniser and violent. But he was her son after all.
