On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 88: Breaking News

Huo stuttered to answer the Queen and General Hawk. And they dropped the topic. The demons were served with good food and plenty of wine. But Huo kept his limits and kept his distance with everyone as if he is very uncomfortable with the arrangements. He looked at Hawk who was relaxing and enjoying every food served, eating and drinking them very well. 

"What are you doing?" He asked through his eyes. 

"What?" Hawk asked back loudly grabbing the King and Queen's attention. They looked at him, expecting him to say something but he felt awkward and remained silent after clearing his throat and drinking some water. Suddenly he choked and spilt the water on his clothes. He got really frustrated. King Aenon was watching his actions. 

"You can tell us anything you want to, feel free, Demon King," King Aenon said to him.

"Yes, you should," Hawk supported the statement and waited for Huo to speak who instead gave him a weird look scowling ay him. He couldn't stop thinking about why the Water Realm is treating him well if the princess and he killed each other. It was confusing and mad. But also there always was a longing for something inside stirring some unknown emotions and most of them made his mind away searching for the answer. He chose to stay not wanting to cause any fight for now and got up stopping eating the dinner the middle way. 

"We must return at once general Hawk, " he said to Hawk who also stopped eating and got up along with the King. 

"Can you travel a long distance with a health condition?" King Aenon asked him. 

"I feel fine now, I must thank you for the help and treatment, I will definitely pay you back for this," He said and asked Hawk to prepare for leaving. 

"As you wish," King Aenon said. "You may leave," he said and let him go feeling disappointed and uncalled all along. But Water King was sure of fact; that Huo'er is upto doing something on his own. He but didn't want to care about it anymore and let go.

At the same time, Aiden after visiting his father, came to meet the King about Aqua's reincarnation. But when he saw Huo, he decided to not talk about it and kept it for later.

King Aenon also borrowed them horses and bid farewell.  But when Huo said goodbye, he did not look like he was in high spirits like he used to be. 

And he left. 

Aiden then asked the Water King to give him sometime to talk and inform what happened in the Human Realm. He was worried but he opened up anyway. 

"I was visiting Milan to get updates and ended up eating tons of desserts, few minutes after that Milan received a call from the girl she has been taking care of, and he want on about the appearance of Third Prince Magus and wife Maria and how it resulted in the death of Aizen, an innocent human who was about to become the father of Aqua. "I erased every thing about him from the earth's surface and gave him a really good place to rest. 

"You found him," The King asked.

"You know about it?" Aiden was shocked.  He started sweating. 

"Why wouldn't I know anything related to my family? I know what my brother in law had done and give through at each stage of life," He said keeping a his hand on Aiden's shoulder. 

"I.. I don't know, I still cannot accept it, I talked to my father about it yes, I can understand, but it is too shocking to know that it wasn't just rumours like all these years but infact true. I cannot look at mother, how will I look at ny mother," Aiden said.

"She has no right to do anything, you parents were forced to marry each other while they had different lives going on parallely, then put together. They should not take control of each other's life based on the previous choices they made in life, can they?" King Aenon sounded too forward and it surprised Aiden to see his uncle that way. "One must be responsible for his own action, you father used to be until he had you, Krystal, your mother wanted him ti have complete attention on you, and he did it as a father should, but failed to look after the other,"

"Aizen, he deserved better, father should not have stopped with just giving him cultivation for reincarnation," 

"Would you have had a sound life then if your parents constantly chose to fight, how would have turned into then ? As you stand in line for the throne in Water Realm? Than Aizen, who is only a demi god?" You're a rare Dilong, God of ice in Water Realm, What is Aizen?" King taught Aiden about the seriousness of the matters and Aiden tried to understand them well. 

"Leaving that, we must start living on earth at once, Fariya, the human conceiving Aqua light give birth any time, We should prepare for things," Aiden said to his uncle. "How do you plan on not letting the heavens about the rebirth?" He asked 

"She will be a mortal, just a mortal with no supernatural powers. There is nothing to akery about, not a soul would be able to trace for that fact. We will also seal our powers and live as a normal human being. Nobody would come for us either. Not even your parents would about where we will be heading, I don't plan to tell anybody. Not because I don't trust people, but because I cannot afford to risk anything, my daughter nor the kingdom, Tai is desperate to kill both the children. Aqua and Huo and stop them from bringing in a child to this universe. Only reason Fiona and Volca are not arrested is because they destroyed the fetus and the parents," Water King explained everything in detail. 

"When do we leave?" Aiden asked a little excited. 

"In two days," the King said. 

"In two days? For sure?" Aiden asked his uncle for confirmation before started getting excited. And Aenon nodded. He could feel the Grand Prince getting  happy with so much of Hope's since Huo'er has becomes hopeless and a huge disappointment. It was past midnight and King Aenon asked the Grand Prince to go get some rest. But something awaited them all the next morning. 

It was the letter sent out from the Demon's Castle, to join the coronation ceremony of Huo'er, the miracle king of the demons who has returned from death. The breaking news spread like wild fire. The return of the Demon King went viral in each and every corner of heaven and it scared the civilians a little, wondering what would happen to Heaven since he has been once wrongly accused and killed. People got worried for the wrong actions taken from the part of Emporer Tai and his Late son Aaron. "What if the Demon King decided to take revenge, for him, his woman and his child?" Everybody talked about it. But little did they know about the condition in which the King Huo has returned from his death. 

Reading the invitation letter, Aenon got disturbed. Huo had chosen a wrong time to take back the throne. Behind the letter came another. And it was not letter but the royal decree from the celestial palace. Aiden looked at the King who kept the other letters away. Queen Rivera, Aiden and the King bowed as they accepted the royal decree to go meet the Emperor immediately. Aiden stared at the Eunuch who came with the decree for sometime to see if it true. 

"Let's go at once before we get stuck at matters, we have to finish everything as soon as possible," Queen suggested. Aiden decided to go with then though the invi was for only the King and Queen of Water Realm. He felt the need to protect them since both their children were too far away from them to accompany them. 

The entrance to the Celestial Palace has been heavily guarded that usual. Tai had alerted the border securities to make sure not a soukd enters or leaves the palace without the permission from the royal court. Not even a fly. And those who did were taken in for capital punishments. Hence the warning scared the people working inside the palace and stayed at the palace itself avoiding the risk and death penalty. 

When King Aenon stepped inside the gate, he saw Emperor and Empress having a heated conversation. 

"She must have hid the news from him and he must have gotten really angry about it," Aiden told his uncle and aunt. "Magus the third prince of Beast Kingdom told me Empress has been appointed by the Emperor to find about Huo'er's return, studying his star," 

"She surely will not commit the same mistakes twice, Why is the Emperor such a fool," Queen made the comment a little loud enough to attract people walking beside them. 

Tai caught sight of the family and walked towards then leaving Lihua behind. "There you are," he said and the families greeted each other. Emperor Tai instantly led everyone to the banquet hall. When they rested and sipped tea,Tai started his conversation.

"Do you know why I summoned you here?" Tai asked Aenon. Aiden looked at his aunt and then back at The Celestial King.
