On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 190: Aftermath

"I did not mean anything I said to Volca," Aqua said to Huo soon after sending Volca away to Human Realm as a part of her punishment. 

"I know, I know you can never mean those Aqua," Huo said and hugged her, standing on the battlefield.

"I want you to suffer the way you made me do. I want you to feel the pain of losing home. I want you to know what it is like to lose the person you love and understand the pain it gives you. Go. Go. Leave. Don't come back until you are invited. Lead a life where you learn what it is like to live normally," Aqua shunned Volca way. 

Hurt with those words, and ego, and her pride, Volca did not wait for another minute and disappeared. She left but she had no aim. She did not know where to go. She did not have the destination for reach. 

General Hawk stood there feeling equally hurt. He could not understand why Aqua would not forgive Volca. But he did not have the heart to ask the reason since he was well aware of the past they had. General Hawk let it go and hoped for a healthy life for Volca who was like a daughter to him. He failed to guide her and protect her. 

Huo hugged Aqua and looked around. Every thing had come to an end. The fake Phoenix dead, Volca gone, the Realms saved, the soldiers getting treatment for injuries. What was left of the ground was the remains of dead people. 

"Bury them," King Huo ordered. 

"Yes your highness," the guards took the order and left. King Aenon, Queen Rivera and other officials walked down towards Aqua and Huo. The universe has gotten rid of the most evil that existed for long. 

King Dylan the Underwater King suddenly appeared in disguise, and so did Ice King Fuyuto. 

"Justice has been served," King Fuyuto said out loud. The Phoenix family got their justice. 

"If you were all all about justice you should have saved the water Realm from the same plight," King Huo said and looked at King Fuyuto who was lost and had nothing to say. "And I want to thank King Dylan for that, but unfortunately I'm no longer grateful because of the hidden agenda you had in the background," 

"I am sorry, but I would never pay any respect to you," Aqua said to King Dylan. She walked towards him. "I keeping my mouth shut on what you have done to a child is the biggest pardon you can ever get from me," Aqua reminded him about his actions on the poor Phoenix child suffering in the Human Realm, battling between life and death. 

"You," Dylan began. But he was stopped. 

"Enough," King Aenon said. "Let's return back to the Castle, the weather is going under, there will be a storm tonight," 

"It is expected since it's the Emperor who has passed away," 

"Hmm yes let's get back," Huo'er said and invited everyone to the Castle. It was only noon. All the barriers had been lifted and the leaders of the Realm were invited to join for lunch. The troops were send back to respective Realms. 

Many were furious, few were thankful. Demon King set a strong example and showed people his power and how one must not play with Demon Realm ever under his reign. 

The banquet hall was busy with people joining and resting. Non stop food and drink was supplied by the Demon maids. Also to those who were injured, treatment was provided by the Royal physician. Water King also brought his resources and helped Demon King managing everything perfectly. 

At that time, Empress Lihua walked in. Everyone stood up the moment she entered. 

"Your highness," everyone bowed.

"Mother," Demon King addressed her openly in front of everyone. But no one said anything against it. Demon King got down from his throne and walked towards his mother to help her walk towards the throne. 

People appreciated that. He led her to his throne. 

"Sit," he said to his mother.

"Aniyo," Empress Lihua refused. 

"You are the most powerful here and the most experienced, sit down," Demon King told her. 

Everyone agreed to it. 

Empress Lihua took the throne and lifted her hands indicating every one to keep silence. The loud noises died down instantly. 

"We have lost the Emperor," Empress Lihua began. "And I do not regret in what has happened. The universe will never will tolerate an evil heart for long, especially when it is the who should be guiding the Realms to good and keep the peace between heaven and hell," Empress Lihua went on. 

Demon King looked at his mother and then at King Aenon and Aqua. Aqua nodded her head asking him to be brave and follow the steps. 

"I never made decisions or let's say I was threatened not to, I chose silence than use my power, I was a coward. But that does not mean I supported my late Emperor. He was cruel but I will not say further since it is not nice bad mouth about the dead. We all learn our lessons. But we should not tolerate the wrong. We should put an end to it. Today I would like to pay my respects to everyone who were tortured and killed under the reign of Tai. I may sound shameless but I am sincere. I truly feel bad and I hope everyone get their peace and rest in peace who are no longer here with us. I apologise on the behalf of the Emperor has an Empress who shared the duty with him in the universe," Empress Lihua got up and bowed. 

"Mother," Huo walked towards her. 

"Next," Lihua started again. "I am going make an announcement as well as our forward a bill," everyone looked at each other and murdered. 

"Your highness," Beast King stood up. He looked happy about something. 

"Let me speak and listen patiently," 

"Yes your highness," 

"Today, I am announcing to everyone about the throne, of Heaven, " Empress Lihua said. The banquet hall went pin drop silence.
