On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Tai sat on the throne, feeling pretty excited. "You won't be able to untie the knots easily this time Aenon. You won't be able to escape from the cobwebs of tarantula you have well into. I will make sure this ends here, with no heir apparent left on surface," Tai said with an evil smile, playing with a glass ball in his hands. 

"Why?" Empress walked into the room. "What did they do to you for you to kill them," Empress Lihua was angry and her eyes red, on the verge of tears thinking about her best friend Rivera. 

"Every one must know their places and never try to get on top of the hierarchy, why is Aenon so powerful and popular than he should be, what does that make me?"

"A lousy culture less backstabbing King," Lihua spit the word. Tai walked towards her and slapped right across her face but at the same time, Empress got hold of his neck, tightening her grip, don't forget that you live under my mercy," she threatened him. "One word and you will forever be doomed, " she said and walked away. 

"And that would be your ultimate end," Tai called out. "Remember that well, Lihua, remember, " he said. He was fuming with anger and wanted to kill Lihua on spot, but he cannot, no matter how hard he tried, in the end, his life depends on her, he is at her mercy, the fake phoenix core constantly needing the support of a dragon's heat and fire. 

King Aenon was rising into popularity among the leaders, ministers, civilian and among the beasts and ghosts. Aenon was praised for his good rule in the Water Realm and surviving the blockade and strict rules Tai imposed on the Water Kingdom. He overcome all of it, and had also maintained good cooperation with the Demon Realm signing various treaties but Tai decided to take a step back and pretend to not know about any deals made originally made under his supervision. The proofs were with him and the demons. Tai destroyed all the proofs and began to accuse Water Realm for disobeying Celestial Decrees and sign secret pacts with the Demon, calling him a traitor and declaring that he has committed treason. And at the right time, Emperor Tai got a tip about Aenon's one of the family members not being a true shenlong, which adds on to the crime of harbouring a life illegally without adoption certificates and legal notices and registration, leading to fake documentation of the family. Tai was on cloud nine when he learned about. An exceptional news and a perfect chance for to capture the family and remove then from his life forever. He hated seeing Aenon getting all the praises while hatred was the only thing Tai got for himself from his wife, then the maids and guards, to misters and gods in the universe. He was well aware of how people hated him and wish to see him off the throne. And seeing Aenon being liked by the masses was nothing but a great threat to Emperor Tai. "How can I let my family's pride down, we struggled and killed the heirs, king, wioed out the whole clan and killed thousands guaurd of Phoenixs to get the throne that night, and I will  not be the one to lose it. My father took it with all the blame and pain, and I am not willing to give up just like that, this is mine, mine own," he said as he sat drinking in the pavilion behind the chamber. He asked the maids to serve and change his mood. He walked to the bath chamber and asked the maids to undress quickly and massage his body. He laid watching the nakedness and enjoying his view. Then the maids joined him in the bath, and had enough fun with him, to benefit gold coins and free treasures. The world be disgusted to see such a heavenly king and gods put him in the underworld for sure, he was well aware of it, but his perverted mind wanted to keep doing it and made him sin a lot more than he

The spies reported to Tai about the absence of King Aenon and Family at this crucial period. He was reported about Aenon taking in charge of the Water Realm's affairs temporarily. 

"Have you gone in hiding already my friend?". Tai laughed loud. "Here," Tai handed a set of parchments to his general. "Leak them," he ordered. The fake documents of Weapon seeking treaty with Demons under Water Realm's names. He sent them to different realms and royal families, to see the face of Aenon, to see Aenon disrespected and losing his face," 

Couple of hours later, he asked the general to sent a message to Star Kingdom, requesting them to enquire about the situation constellation of Aquarius. He wanted to know about the rumour, whether it is true or false, Aqua's return. He had yet to know about it. "Make sure they do it," but he had no idea that, Empress Lihua had joined forces with her family, made up with them and asked to never work Tai again under any circumstances letting then know that fact about she being the key to his survival and how he wouldn't dare harm her. Her father agreed to her. General with in few hours returned back to the heaven to report about the bad news. 

The star kingdom defied the orders and rejected the request for help. It angered Tai, severely that he walked to Lihua's chambers straight. He attacked the guards and maids and walked into Lihua's bed chamber. 

"How dare you?" He said and slapped her again. He pulled her closed holding her hair. "You bitch, you think you can rule over me?" He shouted at her. "You think that you are important for me, you are nothing but the pawn in my chessboard, I never needed you, I just put you through a sentimental connection between us for you to stay," he said out loud. The lips of Lihua were bleeding and he plucked some of her hairs. Lihua's dragon heart was awakened. What she put to sleep centuries had finally woken up. She tried to control it not letting him know. She let him beat her up. He kicked her in her stomach and her genital, he hit her with a whip and wounded her body all over. The maids of Lihua spread the news everywhere about the Empress being physically abused by the Emperor Tai for not giving her powers to him. The letters spread everywhere, about the truth behind fake Phoenixs usurping the throne, Tai's family, killing the thousands overnight, falsely accused of treason. The letter was personally written, signed and sealed by the Empress itself. 

Tai did not know that, neither expected the new mess. The rumours became even more vulgar, picturing the Emperor Tai as a king who enjoyed wife beating, sexually assault the Empress and her maids, threatening them to never let the truth out. Lihua benefited most out of it. 

Emperor Tai had nothing more to lose. And he kept hurting Lihua again and again. Lihua was soon covered with bruises, wounds and blood loss. She let the dragon in her work on her. She planted her blood in Tai's body to reach his core slowly like a poison to take control if his core. 

"Tai," she said one day. "Tai you are the worst King this universe has ever witnessed. Do you never relaize that the gods always watch our moves and how you think. Do you never get afaird of them?" She added fuel to the flames inside Tai. He was scared more than ever but just not showing it out, to keep the throne under him. "What are you living for ?" He slapped her again, tying her up against a pole and sealing her powers and use his powers on her, trying to burn her soul internally. He stuffed her mouth to keep her silent and and he left the room. 

"No one will dare to over throw me or kill me," he said out loud and asked the guards to not feed Lihua again for a week, starving her to make her lose her senses and planned to operate and take away her precious core she threatened him with. He never slept that day on. He lost his peaceful nights to the crimes he started committing.  There were bodies recovered from his bath chamber often, the bodies of female maids who get killed amidst of having sex and mating with them, getting inside them without control and burning their organs with his fire. He did not care about those lives and did not stop himself from committing them. The palace inmates grew scared of him, even to feed him four times a day, taking food to his chmaber that laid shabby. He ordered the guards to hire new palace maids and nobody was willing to take the job, with rumours of mysterious deaths in palace spreading everywhere.
