On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 36: Trap for Aaron

The welcoming went great at the celestial palace, as expected, with grant banquet and large number of guests, served by the maids. The Emporer and The Empress held the feast extraordinarily well, with sumptuous and delicious dishes on the tables.

Numerous Kings, Queens, their families, leaders, lordships, Eunuchs, and their personal guards all assembled in the great banquet hall and had their dinner. It went in such a merry but except for the guests from the Water Realm.

The palace was busy, the maids and servants working overtime. Aenon kept close to his family until he was asked to leave the guest's palace alloted for the his realm to rest. Little did Aenon know that it was Aaron's doing to meet with her secretly. Aqua who sat relieved of how she didn't see Huo'er around her was interrupted by her maid. She got up from the bed as she heard her.

"Crown Prince Aaron is here," the maid helped Aqua up and dressed her quickly putting on the gown on top of her nightgown. She remembered to hide her stomach well, being cautious.

"Sorry to disturb you Aqua, I just wanted to see if you were staying okay in this small palace, I was asking father if we could change your accommodation, "

"Am fine Aaron thank you for the concern, the palace is good," she addressed him informally. He was surprised to see how she didn't use any honorifics. This was not what he thought of Aqua at all before he set his eyes on her. She did look prettier than he imagined and measured her within seconds from her head to toe, scanning her with his eyes.

"Do you need anything. If you need, please do feel free to tell me," he said. He kept looking at her, all over her. His eyes sparkling as he watched her. Aqua felt uncomfortable for a moment. She maintained a distance between afraid to let him know about her body condition.

"I can't believe our fathers arranged a marriage for us, though my harem isn't empty, do you want me to do something about?" he pretended to ask her while he was boasting about his way with women. Aqua wanted laugh at his face but she kept quiet, keeping away from the troubles, maintaining her composed nature.

"I can't believe you father, the emperor decided to hold this betrothal without asking me too, honestly, you are right, I was too shocked when I found out about my engagement with you without my consent, really! I had plans for a day like this, but I guess nothing as i dreamt is possible now," she said telling him directly how she and her family has nothing to do with this. She did not hesitate to hold her tongue back at all.

"I thought King Aenon put this forward," he said taking few steps forward looking around the chamber.

"He did not, he believes strongly that am not a match to you, I lie way down the ladder, my parents are afraid that I may not make you look fabulous when you take the throne, you should be knowing that water realm do not have much riches right? and besides I have a sister too, I should support her in future and her family,"

"That doesn't matter, what matters is," but she stopped Aaron from talking to her.

"I couldn't hold myself the moment I heard about it, I was worried sick. I couldn't think of being the main wife, I have never had any sexual experiences, I was afraid of it, doubting myself if I could ever satisfy and what if you end up with lots of mistresses. I was worried about every duty a wife should do for her husband, am not that open minded I wouldn't hesitate to kill you of you lay hands on other, you know what I mean? So how can we marry quickly without knowing anything about each other?"

Aaron laughed hearing her while Aqua thoroughly put on a show, acting like a weak jealous woman, trying to ward him off.

"All of your worries, you can put that aside, I can show what you what you are capable of right now if you don't mind spending tonight with me," Aaron said the gibberish words all of a sudden, walking close to her taking her chin and running his finger over her cheeks. The maids entered the room at the right time and left the moment they heard him say the words, inviting her to sleep with him, even before they were official. Aqua took several steps back.

"Aaron, language," she said, pretending. She saw the maids whispering and leaving the chamber. She acted upset and shy to have gotten a wrong invitation. She wondered how Huo would have reacted to such rubbish and she was sure she would have witnessed Aaron's head lying on the floor separated from his neck. Aqua wished to laugh at her thought but stayed in her character, acting.

"I didn't mean that way exactly, you know I didn't, were we not having honest conversations here?" he panicked. "Come on love, don't be afraid of it, I just wanted to put you at ease and not keep a distance with me," Aaron tired to handle Aqua who looked perplexed.

Aaron was locked. Aqua was happy that he fell into the the trap. The rumours spread instantly like a wild fire of how shamelessly and without respect for the princess of the water realm did Aaron asked ridiculous things even before the betrothal took place. Since Aaron didn't notice the maids who entered the chamber, he could not accuse anybody nir punish them without proof.

Everyone talked bad about him for the next two days. And how ill mannered he was to speak to a noble lady like that even with his harem full of women to please him every hour of the day. The Emporer scolded him nicely as he heard it. It was an insult sent to the Water Realm and King Aenon took this chance to show how disinterested he is towards this arrangement. While the the other kings also respected him.
