On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Emperor Aenon and Empress Rivera always was engaged with heavenly matters that it made Milan keep postponing her wedding with her longtime love Aiden. She eagerly waited though she felt upset from time to time. Aiden finally managed to propose her romantically during a small getaway while visiting the Sky Realm for buisness. And he unconditionally fell in love with her over time. Well atleast that's what everyone believed it is when he took his chance and proposed to her. And Milan since then has been on top of the universe feeling lucky to be marrying her first and only love, ignoring the fact how he has been a sucker for her sister. Well everyone wanted to forget that fact. 

The heavens was peaceful and happy as ever. The palace was decorated with bright lanterns and decoratives. Aenon requested her second daughter to hold the ceremony in the celestial palace just like her elder sister Aqua did, before she took the throne as demon queen. Aenon was worried about how Milan was going to handle the realm often, being inexperienced a little compared to Aqua. Milan was always let free unlike Aqua who has been trained forcefully. Aenon decided to put the trust on the bride and groom and happily blessed them an eternity.

Everybody was proud of the children of the Emperor and the Empress. And appreciated the emporer for being the good father. For empress it was the most emotional moment as a mother, to see both her daughters matured and holding their men's hands, setting out to lead their own lives, her babies. Even though she knew well about her daughters, it always had troubled her every time they set out of palace going in search for danger themselves. And now she was finally at ease to think that there are more people to protect them.

The Demon King and Queen arrived a little earlier than expected to assist the Emperor for the wedding. Aqua has been excited like anything. Jin the cyclops chose to live with Aqua and Huo and always walked around them. Huo who helped Aqua, walked behind his Queen not leaving her out of his sight even for a moment. It was a surprise for everyone to see how the heaven and hell had a rhythm and balance in the universe and jealous of how Huo loved Aqua. Nobody could believe that such kind of love existed. The unusual era it was during the reign of Aenon and Huo. At the same time everyone wondered how the future would turn into. Ash was happy for his friends. Master Bo Hai went into seclusion and did not attend Milan's wedding.

Demon Queen had the tianlong descend growing inside her womb. She looked pretty, always angry, with loads of mood swings and ripe with her pregnancy and stunningly beautiful in the queen's gown giving her a special glow.

When Aqua found out about her pregnancy, she was shocked and Huo also was surprised. It happened much earlier than they planned to have kids. "Maybe we should not be allowed to sleep together anymore," Huo commented when they found out and he kissed her. But soon they grew excited too.

Milan looked marvellous just like her sister did but instead opted for a navy blue long gown with silver dragon embroidery all over. Aqua wished Aiden from the bottom of her for everything he did for the family and his realm and said how deserving is he to be the king of the water realm. She felt too proud of him. She made him promise to never let her sister down and jokingly threatened him about how she would lead the Demon Clan attack him if he fails to take care of Milan.

Huo held her hands, sitting next to her, consoling her. She couldn't be any happier than seeing her sister smiling wide. The ceremony lasted for only a short time. And Aqua didn't forget to tease her sister like she was attacked once.

"It's not like this is your first time, what are you tensed about," Aqua said when the time ti send Milan and Aiden to their chamber arrived. Milan gave her sister a sad helpless look for teasing her and laughed about it apologizing to her. "But this is going to be the first time if I have to explain in a different way," she said and blushed. The wedding was a success and the heavens celebrated it for over a week.

Couple of months later, Aqua and Huo gave birth to a princess, Fleur. And the life became too adventurous for the king and the queen entering the parenthood. She constantly had to enquire her mother and Huo'er's mother about matters to do with babies and think of protection while spending time with Huo often. She didn't want another child right after one. But she ended up getting pregnant again.

"Wow," Huo said and hugged her. So did their princess girl Fleur. This time it was a baby boy and named him Kai, a descendant of frost dragon. 

*******

Many times later, one fine day, Aqua recieved an anonymous letter addressed to her.

"Dear Queen,

Greetings to you,

I cannot be more happy for you than this. I hear the news from the story tellers even though they are a little bit exaggerated. I wish you all the happiness and love.

I am doing fine and I survived. I still have some injuries left to heal, but shifu helped me take care of myself. I do not intend to return for everything I had done. Tell his majesty I will always be there if you can trust me ever. Even if this world ends, I won't let our memories fade away. That will be forever.

With Love.

You know who.

********

Reading the letter made Aqua forgive her best friend she sent on exile little by little until she started missing her one day, writing back to her. The relationships formed sincerely are hard to break away in the middle even if they are your arch enemies. There will forever be one soft corner kept in our hearts for them , in hope for their return, that someday the evil might turn good. And it will. If you are willing to accept it. Aqua thus let go of all the hatred and grudge she had in her heart and decided to live a peaceful life doing her duty to the universe.

*******

THE END
