On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 180: Aiden's begging

Aqua sat for sometime but she had constant thoughts inside her head. She could sense that the killer and the person who had bought him must be from heaven.

Once you are suspicious you forever will see the person you doubt in the same eye. And to Aqua, she was sure who would do that to her. She got up. "I guess you have not learned your lesson," she said. She took her sword and she got out of the room. She wondered about the direction Volca could have possible gone. 

"Oh shoot," she said when saw the guards walking up and down. She also had people on her tail. She had no way to move around. Trapped. "Damn it," she cursed. "Where has he gone?" She wanted to know about the whereabouts Demon King. She decided to respect his words and she walked back into the room. The guards had taken the body of the shapeshifter to the graves. They decided to bury him properly this time. 

Aqua waited anxiously. She wondered suddenly what could be happening back in her home. Well even though she no longer will be admitted. Her heart killed her with curiosity. Hence, she decided to fly. She got up, got out of the window in the room looked outside and she apparated. She went to the borders. The place she often spend time. The tree hut and the place she died previously. She could not help but feel like going back home. 

"What are you hesitating about?" She heard familiar hoarse voice behind her. 

Her eyes filled with tears immediately. But she managed them before she spilled them. She did not turn quickly. 

"Aqua, will you not forgive me?" He asked her.

"Why? Is there a need for that?" She asked back. He walked over and took her hand turning her towards him. He then hugged her. She did not hesitate, create a scene nor reject him. She just hugged him back. She had a lot to suppress in her mind to not cry in front of him. 

"Aqua am sorry we are so sorry, we meant nothing. See this was a plan that went flop, we never intended to hurt or kick you out. Ae wanted to protect you so we thought we chose a good way, but apparently everything went wrong and we could not even find a right solution. Bu then we lost you from the plan we made, we were not expecting that, we regretted it a lot. Water King is trying his best with all the legal documents to the greater god," he explained everything in an order. Aqua let go of him and took few steps backward. He handed few pouches to her. A pouch for gold coin, one full of energy pills, another full of small a pouch with a small bottle of Water King special plum wine. Aqua's heart danced inside for a moment then it was fine.

"No I cannot have any of it." She rejected his offers.

"Who said?" Aiden asked her back. 

"I do not wish to accept things, I should not take any more blame, am so done" she replied. 

"Do not speak like that Aqua, you should accept it. The whole of Water Realm belongs to you,' he tired to console her. 

"Oh please,"

"Aqua no, please," he begged her again. "Don't hate us, we decided it all for all of us, but what to do," he went on. 

"Alright, alright leave it Aiden," she said. "I have something else to tell you," 

"What is it?" 

"Couple of hours back Milan visited me,"

"Milan was with me, I was in her cham.." he corrected her.

"Listen to me, just let me complete it," 

"Okay, okay, say,"

"Milan came to me, crying, asking for help, to bring down Tai," and suddenly Aiden stopped walking. 

"What?" He asked. 

"She begged me and she asked me to give with her talking about family, to move me," 

"It can't be,"

"Yes, sheer trap, but a stupid one, the crown princess of Water Realm was not properly dressed, apparently they failed to impress me and make me believe that the person appeared in front of me is my sister," She went on.

"Who was it?" Aiden was eager to know. 

"A shade shifter, hired assassin, but weak one. Half demon half vampire species, but something else happened," 

"What again?" 

"When we were capturing him, someone shot an arrow from the outside at him and killed him, we failed to save him," 

"So it's a planned attack," he concluded.

"Not a very serious one, but someone's anger on me, the hatred," 

"We both know who it is don't we? But you are not willing to accept it," 

"Volca," Aiden and Aqua said it together.

"But why would she do it again and again, to me?" Aqua got angry and upset altogether. 

"Because its clear that you have something she will never have, do I have to explain that," he explained.

"Its been years, years,"

"Does not matter, but why put the name of Tai you definitely would have gone to heaven, to Celestial Palace if you trusted her eventually," 

"Yes," Aqua agreed. "With my anger issues, I definitely would have chosen to go meet the Emperor first, maybe even attack him," 

"I know that very well cousin," Aiden said smiling. "You would have declared to the world the victory taking the head in your hand," Aiden laughed. 

"And that's not something we will let you do alone anymore," she heard another familiar voice. Aqua was shocked. 

She turned quickly only to get heart attack seeing the line of people standing before her. She gasped and a single drop of tear fell down from her eyes. 

"What are you all doing here?" She managed to ask. But by that time she was hugged and almost fell down on the ground. Aiden stood there smiling. He looked happy and emotional at the same time. 

"I told you, I kept asking you for forgiveness, do you understand now Aqua?" He aksed her.
