On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 182: All Hail

General Hawk did not wait but wanted to inform the water King about the news Demon King asked him to pass.

"Your highness, its serious," he said. Aqua was standing right before him. 

"General Hawk, what happened? What is it about? Where Huo'er?" She asked.

"His highness is searching for you everywhere, please go him. Water King here is my message, expect an attack any day from the Heavenly Emperor for he is not an angel anymore,"

"He is not just a Demon, but satan, I know, he accepted the offer of the evil. He needs the throne at any cost, we will not let it continue again," he said strongly and climbed down the throne. 

General Hawk got up and watched the king walk towards him. "I will let Demon King know,"

"Thank you, I will prepare and when the time comes, we will hit hard," King Aenon said and smiled. He looked at his daughter. 

"Am leaving with him," she said.

"Stay," he ordered. But his daughter no longer listened to him.

"I have to go, I cannot let him be alone," 

"He will manage it," King Aenon said.

'He will, but I want to be with him, support him," she said boldly. "I do not have anything here any longer," she reminded him of what they did to her. She had absolutely no way she could stay in the palace since the enn has not been lifted. 

"Aqua, this is not right," he said.

"Pa I know every well what is right and wrong, I am not supposed to enter here, so let me go for now," she said.

"Aqua," Water King called her. But she had already disappeared with General Hawk along with her. He sat there on the throne all disappointed and clenching his fists. He summoned all of his royal guards. And the ministers. He decided hold an emergency summit. He called the Beast King and Wind King, he called Master Bohai and Prince Ash. Only his trusted allies. But he wondered if he should give respect to the Beast Kingdom since they treated his daughter badly and insulted her, hurting her feelings. But it was a crucial time where he could not let any sort if egoes or grudges take over him. 

Milan rushed to meet with her dad with Queen Rivera behind her.

"Pa, what happened?" She asked and looked around. "Where is sister?" She asked. 

"She left," Water King said.

"What?" Queen Rivera was shocked. 

"She took off with Hawk," he said again.

"Why?" Milan asked.

"Why would she leave? Did you not ask her to stay?" Queen Rivera asked angrily. 

King Aenon shot a look at her. He closed his eyes, controlling his temper. "She left for him," he said. He got up.

"For who? Huo'er?" 

"Brother in law?" Milan asked behind her mother.

"Yes, who else," King Aenon walked down. 

"What did he do?" Queen Rivera asked. 

"Hawk informed us about the attack happened today, we cannot sit idle and wait for Tai anymore, we have to take him down," King Aenon said looking far away.

"Pa, are you sure?" Milan asked her father. She was not sure.

"He has given up his soul to the satan, why should he rule over heavens?" King Aenon asked his wife and daughter. 

"He should not," Queen Rivera said and walked out of the court. 

"Where is Aqua?" Grand Prince Aiden walked in holding up a bunch of peaches fresh from the tree. He was all smiles. 

"She left," Milan said sadly.

"What?" His smile left his face and he lowered his hands. He handed the guards the peaches and walked back too not asking anything further. Milan shook her head and followed him.

Hawk and Aqua reached the castle. Huo was there in the court meeting with his ministers. He informed them about the attack, but not about Volca. 

"If it has been a play, I would have let it go, but it's not simple, its complicated, the aim is to take the Demon Realm down with the help of Demonic challenge itself, we cannot get that happen, and nobody had the right to touch the Demon Queen anymore," he said without thinking further. "We cannot let Tai continue on the throne anymore and treat us like stray dogs. We must prove our stand," He let out the news himself. He let everyone hear the truth. The murmers rised inside the court. Everybody whispering and looking at each other. 

"King Huo'er, you mean?" One old man asked him.

"Demon Queen, my wife," he said bravely. And at the right time, Aqua entered the hall. All the heads turned towards her. The girl in the black robes. "It's the Water Princess, it's her," everyone said to each other. "So she..she left heaven for our King, she is our Demon Queen, our one true Queen who will protect us," Aqua smirked as she heard the words uttered. "Will she betray us? What if she is seducing the King to know secrets of our Realm?" Some said.

"She saved our King and he us living because of the powers she has in her, even now, if she wanted to kill him, she would have already, but she did not, it means she is true to our King Huo'er, she even conceived a Demon child in her once, willingly," some other said. "Why should we doubt her when he have proof she is the one we have all been waiting for?" 

"She will be our Demon Queen, Demon Realm welcomes her with all the heart even if Heavens no longer wants her, we will protect her, like she will fight for us, for us all, we should be one," a man said. And the rest who disagreed later agreed with him and accepted Aqua. Aqua climbed the steps to the throne and stood next to Huo, who stood proudly. 

"All hail to the queen," suddenly everyone bowed. That took Aqua by shock, she was not expecting that at all. King Huo out his arms around her and pulled her closer. "All hail to the Demon Queen, live long," they blessed her. They bowed ten times shouting praises for her. Huo'er stood there smiling whole Aqua shivered a little. She did not know what to do. She looked at Huo. "It's here, the day is here," he added. 

"What?" She asked him.
