On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Aqua looked at her wardrobe for sometime and asked for a maid to bring in her tailor. She had gowns in every colour except for black. She wanted to blend in the demon realm while visiting to not get caught at any cost by the demons outside the palace. She asked the tailor to take her new measurements and selected a few new materials of black, brown, grey and maroon shades. And she requested him embellish them with sequins and embroidery like demons would but more elegantly. She drew the design herself and handed them over reminding him to give her the black and the maroon gown as soon as possible since she had a ceremony to attend. 

She also prepared for Milan's clothes exactly like hers, since she had decided to take Milan along with her in the journey ever since she received the invitation for coronation. She did not wish to go alone and feel awkward though Huo will protect her. She asked her father to not attend the ceremony asking him to think of his position in heaven to avoid a misunderstanding with the emperor. He considered it well.

Aenon was proud of his daughter to have thought that way and asked his wife to keep an eye on the girls incase if they get into trouble walking into the enemy's region.

Aqua wasn't sure of what to give as a present for his coronation. She cannot lose her blood anymore since she had already given him some. She went to school to see of there is anything memorable and found nothing. She felt had looking at the condition it laid. There was none in the school and everything looked shatters and the place turned upside down. She visited her and his accommodation and spend some time there alone, it was the only place that looked neat and left alone without destroying it. Even though Aenon had handed her the toxic cold dagger the second treasure of the pair of cold daggers owned by the water realm while the first belongs to the demon realm, to give as a present to the demon prince, she wanted to present something to make his day memorable. She made up her mind to go two days before just like he did on hers.

Aqua went back to her palace and looked for her mother who was holding a meeting in the court regarding the grain storage to not fall short during the drought.

She informed her mother about her travel plans with Milan later and got permission. She asked her mother if she wanted to join before the she sent the letter back. And as usual her mother declined the chance of step out of the palace. She advised her daughters to be careful about the demons but Milan assured her talking about how good Huo'er and King Dritan is. They arrived at the decisi to take Aiden along and Aqua noticed how her sister unusually got excited about the matter. She decided to watch Milan then on. She recalled what Huo had once told her about Aiden and she looked at her sister having no idea what to do.

The days neared for the coronation and Aqua and Milan bid farewell and left their home. Aenon had a lot of fear in his mind while staying calm on the outside. He made sure Aiden the guards who left with them were skilled and packed with plenty of weapons of all sorts. But he was proud to see the sisters were confident to face anything that came their way. He watched till they disappeared and went back into the palace. He had to take care of things and go to the main palace to report to the emperor. He had been delaying the meeting till Aqua left home.
