On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Earth King Zidan was restless. The responsibilities was huge this time, bestowed upon him. And not only that, several lives were put on line by Emperor Tai this time. They typical because and moves of a tyrant King. People started losing faith in the heavens, seeing the crime rates hitting the top and the monarchy of Tai spreading like wildfire, with killing developing as the first and foremost punishment of who ever raise the voice a little against him. People who prayed to god couldn't understand why gods let him rule the heavens, forget knowing about his fake core seeking support from his dragon born Lihua. 

The unfair share of work divided among people in heaven, feudal ideas, poaching lands, encouraging black market and supporting discrimination, segregation and bullying among the citizens. Everything was going beyond control. Not to mention the recent murder stories coming out of the Celestial Palace from his chambers. "What a mad man?" People said but nobody was brave enough to over throw him. 

Even when everybody was aware of Water Realm being wronged and falsely accused form various crimes from simple to hard core. It was shocking and heartbreaking to see the bad luck and tragedy of Water King and his family moving towards their end. 

King Zidan asked his guards to search earth but he found no clues so far about the whereabouts of people to call as witnesses for the trail going to be held in the celestial palace against Water Realm. 

"How can it be? There has to be someone or anyone here who knows the truth for sure," King Zidan said when he was reported by his General Ling.

"So far there are no leads your higness," Ling said. 

"Your higness there is a visitor, " a guard reported. 

"Hmm I was expecting him, let him in quickly, take him to my White Jade Pavilion, ' King Zidan ordered the guard and he got up from his throne, exiting the court. The palace was a modern architectural building, contemporary style, with huge gardens, pools, fountains, patios, play grounds, courts, everything you see on a multi millionaire's house. King Zidan is running lots of business joining hands with the humans in the huma realm for survival and blending in. The pavilion he had set by giving  a heavenly touch was in the backyard away from the house. The view beyond the pavilion is endless yellow sea of mustard field.

He sat on the table set and waited for the guest. 

"Greeting to you your highness," he said and bowed. 

"I was waiting for Grand Prince Aiden," King Zidan said. "How are you holding up?" He also back.

"Not so good, but in desperate search for the proofs,' he said. 

"I regret to inform you this, but we have not got any news about what you asked to me, they either are hiding well, or they do not exist, people you asked me to look for," 

"Impossible, " Aiden said, gasping.

"I know, but we couldn't trace them at all, even using the clairvoyance did not work," Earth King said to the Grand Prince. 

"They must be hiding really well and do not wish to have anything to do worh heavens anymore, after all they were severely wronged by the ancestors of fake Phoenix anyway, I will never blame them,"  Aiden said to the eart king. "It is alright your highness, we will definitely find a way," 

"Never hesitate to ask me for any help it maybe okay? I will do everything I can for Aenon," King Zidan said. "If not for him, I would have lost my family completely to Tai way before under the idea of expelling Earth Royalty from heavens, forbidding our entry, affecting our generations of life," he said. "If Aenon did not conduct a campaign then, we would have been dead by now, unable to survive for long on earth without heavenly support,"

"I know very well your higness, rest assured, we will not cause you trouble, if it feels dangerous you may as well stay out of the issue and but cause harm to yourself," Aiden said. 

"Never repeat what you just said again Aiden," Zidan said keeping his coffee mug down on the table. Aiden smiled with gratitude. "Come on man, cheer up " King Zidan tried to encourage the Grand Prince who looked down. "Where is Aqua?" He asked. 

"Safely kept away from all the troubles, we can't afford to lose her," Aiden replied. 

"Good decision," King Zidan said. "But she is smart, I have never met her, but from what I have heard about her, she is one of a kind," 

"She is," Aiden's face brightened and he looked so proud of his girl. "Brilliant, quick,  witty and caring, she always knows what she is doing and is very strong about her opinions," he explained.

"And she is well loved by the people around her, especially Grand Prince I guess," King Zidan guessed his feelings for her. 

"Well," Aiden inhaled. 

"I know, do well," Earth King wished him and they both laughed. 

"I have other things to take care, if there is nothing else, let me take my leave," Grand Prince said and got up from.the chair. He had not touched the coffee at all since he was not used to the new drink. 

Grand Prince Aiden felt disappointed and upset since he got nothing from earth to inform to King Aenon. 

He reached the Water Palace and walked past the court where he did not find the King. He decided to return back to his palace and get a few minutes of rest. 

To his surprise, there was somebody lying on his bed, holding a glass of wine. The blue and silver gown, the the dark hair, that alluring eyes, and the bewitching smile. Aiden shook his head and closed the doors behind him.

"What are you doing here lying in my bed?" He asked. 

"What else? Waiting for you ofocurse," she replied, smiling at him. She has been waiting for couple of hours for his return. 

"Get up," he asked her to leave his bed. "Have I not told you before that you should not lie on any man's bedding randomly?" 

"I forgot, teach me then," she said. He was sure that she is trying her best in flirting with him. She did look sexy and hideous but his heart was not for her. He had always known about her feelings for him, but ignored them like Aqua ignored his feelings for her. She got up fron the bed and walked towards him.

"Our time is nearing is it not? An end, a doom in our lives, am going to miss everything, " she said. She then slowly walked towards him, who was busy cleaning his table near the bed. She gave him a back hug which caught him by surprise. He stood frozen and a minute later, he turned to face her. She had high hopes reflected in her eyes and Aiden felt pity for her. He tried to untie her hands but she held on to him strongly. Her eyes looked deep, glistening and for the first time, he watched her, gazed at her, into her eyes and felt a wave of similar emotions. 

"Don't.. just don't give up," he tired to tell her. 

"I won't, I will never give up, I can't even if I want to," she said. 

"Why?" He asked her still looking her face. 

"Have you heard about getting imprinted?" She asked him, she wanted to cry. Her throats was aching as she controlled her emotions and tears. He shook his head for an answer.

"No," he meant to say it out loud and the sound came out merely as whisper. It is then he noticed something. Her eyes were glowing. Glowing in the shade of blue and it looked exquisite. He couldn't understand why and wondered whether he was hallucinating. 

"Then you must learn about it,' she said to him, and reached up for his lips unexpectedly.  "I got nothing to lose," she said and touched her lips on his soft cold lips. He stood shocked like a statue as she kissed him. The overflowing mixed emotions took contorl over him and he kissed her back wildy, deeply and in a hurry, taking her lower lip in his and using tongue by surprising her with his response. He pulled her closer, putting his arms around her waist. And then suddenly he remembered and withdrew back pulling her away. He got a grip on himself and stopped in the middle. She balanced herself from falling down.

"Why?" She asked. "Don't you realize how much I love you? Then why?" She asked in tears. 

"Becuase I always loved your sister," he shouted.

"And she loves Huo and I Love You," she declared, she confessed, years of her secret she let it all out, venting out her emotions. "I love you Aiden," she paused looking his  confused expression  "You could have at least given me respect without responding back, I would have let it go, and now I feel horrible inside, I do," she said wiping her tears. "What is that that is so unlikable with me?" 

"It's not you, it's me," he said trying to reach for her hands which she jerked off. He felt bad about what happened too and stood motionless. The waves of feelings kept hitting him and he didn't wish for additional problem to handle in between while they had plenty served on their plates including wiping out the whole family without any trace.  The guards came over the door knocking, asking him to meet the King immediately. Where as Milan was heart broken and wanted to leave the palace for sometime. And she derived at the conclusion to go meet her sister.
