On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 37: Huo'er's Entry

Falling madly in love with someone and then getting separated is one of the most hurtful feelings one could get, that is enough to drain whole of your energy. But imagine having to see the person you love going through trails in front of you and you cannot help but only watch it, enduring all the pains and rage. By gritting your teeth and clen your fist.

It was no different to Huo. To watch Aqua walking into the bear's cave and sitting there as a sacrifice. Aqua is strong, but she cannot beat Emporer Tai for now. That is what Huo thought. Emperor Tai arranged the engagement for Aqua without her consent to his good for nothing only son, the heir to celestial throne, the playboy Aaron. But Aqua had begged Huo to remain quiet for his own safety. She was not aware how crazy Huo'er's heart was going through.

Huo was informed about what was happening in celestial palace continuously by the spies the Demon Clan had inside the Heavenly Palace. He was informed about how Aaron misbehaved towards the Water Princess and offended her. Huo was sure of how Aqua would have played the trick of dirtying the image of Aaron and drag him in it, having fun mocking the Emperor and his family. Little did Huo know about her actual condition.

First thing Huo'er did was laugh when he was reported about it. He knew she would survive it. Huo did not like it, but atleast he was it ease, trying his level best at controlling himself, from going to the palace and making a disaster, looking at the invitation. He took their deep breath and repeated what Aqua told him like hymns, stopping himself from leaving the castle.

It still bothered him, thinking about the betrothal going to be held anyway, and he was not confident that Water Realm would be able to stop it. Hence he wanted to stop it from happening at any cost. He couldn't bare to think how Aqua will have to go through a ceremony forcefully though she will find an escape route. Huo then kept himself busy with work along with his father in the main hall and took the chance to learn about administration.

By evening, the news arrived again from the spies, it was pretty bad. Spies informed that the Emperor has started final rounds decoration and cooking in the celestial palace's kitchen for the ceremony and feast afterwards personally choosing the dishes himself to be served, but he heard no news about anymore of Aqua's tricks or moves. Huo was told how confident Tai looked and it was sure that he is upto something.

Huo was told how nobody is allowed to go near Aqua's accommodation or see her without Aaron's pass. The blood boiled in Huo'er's veins as he heard them. He gritted his teeth and stood up. Dritan saw young self of him in his son. But at that time, Dritan was helpless and only a prince who fathered a child of an affair with the then cloud princess, powerless and grounded by his father from leaving the castle, for committing the sin of falling for a heavenly princess. Dritan couldn't do anything beyond his father's control. Dritan had regretted it forever in his life and he did not want that to happen to his son. He did not want the history to repeat were they acted as cowards without taking the responsibility.

"Somethings seems off the sync, she is restricted, why would she be? Emperor Tai that bastard must be working on his plan," Huo said, punching on the arms of his chair.

"Huo'er why don't we visit the palace ourselves in disguise. Wash the black dye off your hair and you will be able to enter the palace easily, without getting noticed" Dritan suggested to his son though he was well aware what a suicide mission it was.

Huo'er prepared and put on his new shining armour his father gifted him. Huo then ordered the army to be on standby and wait for his signals and approval at the borders. He sent the troops first to the border and in camouflage to not be noticed, avoiding the chances of raising a rebellion. "Let's bring the queen back home," everyone shouted as they took the orders since the story of Huo and the water princess got very famous around the town and most pitied love story in the demon realm spread by the storytellers

Huo and his father prepared to leave. Making sure they had everything necessary for any situation faced from the weapons to formations. They reached the celestial palace instantly apparating draining the energy to half and tried to find a gate to get that's less guarded. Dritan used his special skill of invisibility formation and got in effortlessly.

They went straight to find the accommodation of Water King and his family. But they did not find the king nor the queen inside the palace. He reached the alloted accommodation of the sky realm and happened to hear things he shouldn't have. Confinement and wrongly accused. He asked his father to wait at the border where usually Aqua and he always meet close to the woods, and forced him to leave the palace. And Huo'er walked straight into Aqua's room which was heavily guarded. He unsealed his sword once again that evening and held them in his hands after a really long time after training in school. He kicked the gates open.

"Step aside or die," Huo screamed as he stepped inside and slashed the guards who attacked him. The guards covered him like the swarms of bees. It officially began there, the battle. Whatever has been arranged by the Emperor, he had no idea but he was sure about rescuing his girl before it was too late and fall into the traps. More guards marched in, trying to use the opportunity but he slashed them all. There were pools of blood formed instantly around the hall. He did not stop fighting.
