On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 185: Clash within the Clan

All the Realms prepared for the war and provided their troops to the Emperor. But on the list they found troop missing. 

"The troop from Water Realm where are they?" Tai asked one day. 

"They have not submitted yet," King from Beast Realm said. 

"Impudence. How dare they? Call for Aenon now," Tai released a royal decree to immediately summon the Water King.

'What about Ice Realm?" Beast King asked.

"They have been staying away from the heavenly affairs, avoid them as usual," Beast King was told by King of Sky Realm.

"But their crown prince is great in war, he has excellent swordsmanship, what's his name? Yes Dong Lixue," Beast King said again.

"I said leave them," Tai shouted at Beast King. Beast King hated it. But afraid of the greater gods, he decided to keep his respect for the Heavenly Emperor and remained quiet, being obedient to him. He himself decided to go and let Water King know that he is wanted by the Heavenly Emperor. 

"How dare they disobey and not submit the troops to our war, for our great cause,' Tai shouted out loud. Everyone in the court stood with their heads lowered. Some were murmuring. It appeared that only Emperor is the one who has yet to know that King Aenon had swore to never take part in war supporting Emperor Tai. Prince Ash from Wind Realm remained silent and prete like he does not know a thing about Water Realm. When he knew that Water Realm had joined hands with Demon King to defeat the Evil Emperor of Heaven. He looked at Emperor Tai and smirked when he Tai was busy scolding everyone. Prince Ash had already decided to lead his troop to war ground and then change their side to wherever Water Realm is, to support a good cause Water Realm's brave king had put forward.

Beast King apparated and reached Water Realm's entrance bridge which was built newly after Fox Queen destroyed the previous one. Beast King walked down. 

"The securities are high," he sensed it. But that very moment, he was captured by two Centuars. They carried bows, arrows, and spears with them. Beast King did not take any action or make an my move. He had no aim to engage himself in a fight, but rather take the Water King back to the Heavenly Palace. 

"Am not here to fight, I simply came here to pass down a message from Heavenly Emperor Tai," he said. "Don't arrest me, you know I am," he said.

"We don't care who you are, showing up without a prior notice is no longer accepted in Water Realm, betrayers will be punished," One among the Centuars said. 

"I..." Beast King tried to speak.

"Shut up," but the Centuars stopped him and acted really rude with him. They held him like a prisoner and took him back to the palace. The whole Realm had come to know about the way Beast King treated Pricness Aqua the last time she visited Beast Realm. Everyone lost their respect for the Realm then. 

The doors opened and King Aenon looked up at who was being dragged by the Centuars into the court. 

"YOU," King Aenon said. 

"Emperor Tai has a message," Beast King said.

"AH I see, so you have taken up the job of a messenger now," King Aenon mocked the Beast King without mercy. And Beast King felt unwelcome and insulted.

"You are summoned by Emperor and submit your troops for the war," 

"I have no interest in doing both," Water King said. Going to Heavenly Palace could be great danger to King Aenon. He refused the request hence. 

"No I am asked to take you to the palace," 

"Am afraid you the messenger of Tai will be disappointed," Water King mocked again.

"AENON ENOUGH," Beast King for angry and shouted aloud.

"I should be the one saying that you Beast King, leave, don't provoke me to do anything, tell your Emperor Tai that Water Realm has cut ties with heaven ever since everyone betrayed my Realm and supported extermination of my family with no valid reason, hence The descendants of Water Realm will no longer support and serve for Emperor Tai," 

"You, you will regret," Beast King threatened Water King. 

"I will come see you after the war in your Realm, I want to see you then, I will put forward a deal that day, you will be left with no choice, that day we will decide who regretted what," King Aenon got up from the throne and walked down with a smirk on his face. 

"HOW DARE YOU AENON? HOW DARE YOU GROW THE SPINE YOU GREW RECENTLY AFTER KICKING OUT YOUR OWN BLOOD OUT OF THE REALM? HOW DARE YOU JOIN HANDS WITH THE DEMON?" Beast King shouted and questioned King Aenon. 

"But am not a fool like you," King Aenon said. "I know exactly what I have done all these day, my mistakes will be rectified that way," he said and patted Beast King's shoulder. "Now get out, get back and inform your Emperor Tai Water Realm will never sent troops to assist him or his parties," King Aenon smiled and watched Beast King leave.

"You will learn your lesson soon," 

"We will see who does," King Aenon said and smiled and deep inside his heart, he constantly worried wondering whether the demons would win the war. It has never ever happened in the history of wars. Whenever the heaven and hell waged a war, heaven always won and took the upper hand. Aenon bet for the Demons to win under King Huo, but if they end up losing, King Aenon will have to kill himself in front of the greater gods for betraying Heavenly clans. "It should not happen, we will kick the evil Tai out and buy freedom for all in heaven," King Aenon took an oath himself. 

He walked out and decided to go back to hell itself where he asked his family to gather at night for dinner with his first born, Aquamarine. 

It appeared that the feast was not just for family gathering but to declare something to the family.
