LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 95: Ignorant Years
Huo rose to great heights taking Demon Realm along with him. The civilians were happy, they got everything they needed. They had enough water more importantly. That was more than enough.
Huo was still isolated and nobody wanted to spend time with him. He didn't know why and everytime he stepped out with Volca, he was never well received by the heavenly beings. He started going to the Celestial Palace often, closing so many deal with the Emperor and kept peace. His mother was satisfied.
Ignorance continued but Huo was occupied with work that he did not wish to give him thoughts to anything else that distracted him. But he often went to the Water Realm searching for answers on his on, thinking about the time at the caves. He didn't why he felt drawn towards the Realm. He visited the Water Palace couple of time and signed some deals with the stand in King and Queen and even met Grand Prince Aiden once. He informed Huo about how tragedy of the Water Realm has effected the Famiky deeply. Huo was informed how King Aenon and Queen Rivera has gone out to search for their second daughter who went seclusion after her sister's death.
It did not convince Huo much. He found it very suspicious and even more when he recalled his conversation with drunk King Aenon on his coronation day. Huo measured those words that shadowed him as the bad person who committed a serious crime. He wanted to know why he was accused by the righteous Water King without putting forward the solid proof.
His memories did not restore. No visions were seen again in long 15 years. And he gave up on trying again hurting himself. But he did continue cultivation and practicing mixed martial art as advised by the spirit from the cave that suited his body well.
He was glad he listened to the unknown spirit as he grew powerful each day. He got help from his mother and also practiced the dragon cultivation inside him. But his level was not high. She asked him to take each step slowly since a part of his original soul is still missing. And Empress Lihua advised him to never fo such reckless thing again. She did not want her son to have any connection with the Water Realm and hence hid the past well from him which helped Volca score the most with Huo. Lihua was jealous and angry at Queen Rivera that she did not want Huo to become her son in law ever. Lihua was well aware of the fact that Water Realm is in desperate search for Aqua and has disappeared for that but since Rivera protected Huo, Lihua wanted to return that favour by keeping her mouth shut until they return. Huo thus stopped asking his mother about his past. It almost matched with what Volca had told had and he chose to live with a man with no past which would hold him as a prisoner. He made peace with the present. He found happiness around him.
"Is it true you higness?" General Hawk asked King Huo.
"WHAT?" Huo asked him angrily.
"That you are going to marry the new military general Volca?" Knight Hawk asked straightly. "Everybody says so, you two seem to be really close, the few guards saw you two goofing around," Hawk said to him.
"No, jeez NO," Huo denied strongly. His ached all of a sudden.
But the rumours were not based on false assumptions at all. And even Huo couldn't tell why he would behave strangely with Volca sometimes just like what happened a few weeks back.
Volca walked into his bed chamber with some fruits, a bowl of his favourite soup and a whole jar of grape wine. She had prepared herself aiming to spend the night with Huo, trying to win him. She had used two love elixirs on his drink this time to deepen his emotional side.
She opened the door to find Huo standing near the doors that open to the balcony opposite his bed. He was wearing a robe over the top. She could see his board shoulder and chest. And it made her heart skip a beat. She took a deep breath and walked forward his study placing the food tray down.
"You're highness, I have brought a light supper for you, it's almost midnight," she said to him.
"Keep them there," he ordered her.
"How about some wine?" She asked and he nodded his head accepting the offer. He was thinking about ways to do crops in the barren lands using the demon magic if it is possible for few farmers among the demons.
"Here," she handed him the tall grail. She was smiling feeling successful. He gulped the wine down feeling thirsty and suddenly he started feeling weird. His heart pounding loud, feeling happy and romantic. "Let me leave," she said trying to test several minutes later. And at the same time Huo grabbed her arms pulling her towards him.
"Leaving? Leaving where?" He asked her smiling. Volca blushed. She could feel her cheeks burning hot as it turned run. "Shy are you?" He asked her.
"No," she whispered. She ran her fingers towards his chest. It looked like the two pills were the right dose for him since using just one stopped working completely. He put his arms around her pressed her towards him, he felt her body rubbing against it. And he worked his hands behind, untying her knots on the gown that fell down from her shoulders. The dress fell down on her hip, standing half naked in front of him, she did not flinch but enjoyed each moment. She untied his robe and opened them. She felt his abdomen with her hands and rubbed her breast against his trying, to get him in the mood. She was aroused and wet. She took his hand and let him feel the small swell of her breast, squeezing them, while he looked at her face a little confused. His feelings were going back and forth. She tried to kiss his mouth but suddenly Huo took his hands back and kept them on his chest, the same pain he felt every time he got close with another woman. He painted hand and tired his best to not scream out loud.The total romantic atmosphere was ruined. Volca worried for him also was pissed off for what had occurred in the middle. She lay there without putting on her clothes back. But he did not take another looks at her. Disappointed, she put the gown back to her shoulders and walked out of the room. And when she left the room he noticed the fact that the room was not locked and those who were walking through would definitely have seen the things that happened between them.
It haunted him. What happened between them. And he was ashamed. The most important factor was that he had no feelings for her but realised it happened mostly when she was around him after eating whatever she fed him with in his room. Atlast he realised it is a doing of her and decided to o observe her and avoid whatever she brought him. He asked Hawk to leave and decided to spend time in the library trying to find an answer. He recalled the first times he had medicines Volca would give him. Few pills before and after good and few moments he went overboard with her stripping her and trying to get close with her. "But everytime I was a about to do something to her, there always occurred a heart ache or headache that stopped me from going further. What could the reason be?" He slowly connected everything that had happened to him before. He looked at his arms, legs and his body and around to see if there is anything attached to him, unaware that it's the doing of the crystal in his body stopping him from mating with another woman.
He searched through medicinal books and he found nothing. Then he went through elixir books, and found something strange, but it was not detailed since it was warned as a Forbidden magic to be done by an angel or a demon. It then occurred to him to search for the books of black magic and blood magic. And there he found the answer. The right answer. Love elixirs. Love potions. Used by the owner to give her beloved often to get close and used often on a person can mess up his reality drawing him into the another world, losing his actual sense. It sounded super dangerous for Huo and worried about his health. He gasped. "How dare you?" He placed the book back in its place and rushed back to the court since it was time for the discovery of the day. He made up mind to pretend with Volca and get to know her intentions finally. The ministers arrived on time and Volca was there already. He smiled at her as he walked in wishing to get close and get the information out of her mouth. He felt suspicious of her more than he did before. Volca felt excited to have gotten a smile from him and remained there until the end of the discussion with the ministers. And after everybody left the court, "Come over here," he said to her.
