On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Volca got into the Celestial palace. She had a plan. And she wanted to realise it. The plan was to get close with Emperor Tai, find out why her mother was close with him, had even closer ties to the the point that he did not touch the two of them when they harmed the heavenly princes and princesses. She wanted to know if her intuitions and suspicions are right. She couldn't understand why her mother hid so much about her life to Volca. Hence without having another choice, Volca formulated this plan. She told nobody about it. The second plan was no matter what, Emperor Tai is the hindrance to her King Huo'er's life, hence she did not want the Emperor to live any longer. She wished to find out the truth behind all the rumours she has been hearing about about the mass death and murders, the curfew and the newly imposed strict laws in the Celestial Palace. 

Volca did not tell these matters to Huo. But lied and escaped from his clutches for the time being. 

She walked to the gates of the Celestial Palace brave heartedly, ready to save anything. She looked at the guards who on the spot prepared to attack her. She took out her purple claw sword and started fighting with them. It was hard. But she won fairly against them, not harming them but support them. Couple of minutes later, the guards surrender unable to fight with her and let her. 

"I said in the beginning itself that I just want to meet the Emperor here for an urgent matter, why did you wish to get attacked and fall sick?" She asked her. They did not say a word while laid on the floor struggling to get up after getting hit with light levels of lightening and shock from her sword. She was careful about not to harm a single person it. 

She took her first step in to the Celestial zone. The main place she had never been to. It looked amazing, than the Demon's castle comparing with architecture of each. Different and opposite of everything. From the angle of rooms to the footpaths, everything she laid her eyes on was different. 

"Why can I not find anybody here?" She wondered looking around more for people. "Why won't anyone react to a new face?" She wondered. "Is the condition that severe? Will they be punished if I ask them for the way for the court!" She talked inside her head. "No I can't find a replacement for my work," she taught herself. "I will find the place myself, I can learn the ways palces, where they are and show up often. She walked around the lotus pond first, took the bridge to another palace of women in harem. She turned away immediately and took another route. She didn't fish to see anybody she knows. "Damn," she cursed and took another route. Harem is the wrong place to be. The place of death recently it has become into or referred to as the town of living dead. She did not wish to see the tragic situations. She walked past the imperial kitchen palace, and she could smell beautiful aromas of food coming out. Her stomach growled instantly. And moreover she was really thirsty. She did not mind any of it. She passed the kitchen and reached the entrance to the Celestial prison behind the palace. "No this is again the wrong way," she said. She had a veil covering her head under her hat, hence nobody noticed her. 

She again walked back to the starting point near the gates where she began her journey. She analysed carefully and took the route at the right side this time instead of left which took ker to the back side. The route on the right had so many guest palaces on the way before reaching the palace of Celestial Prince, the Empress and the Emperor. She looked at the Palace of the Celestial Prince lying unoccupied and shut down after his death. She felt bad for him, to have died at a very young age and not able even reincarnate. She felt a little guilty to have become one of the reason for the death. "Forgive me," she said and moved away. A ten long minutes worth walk later, she reached the Palace of the Emperor. "There it is," she said and walked towards the compound. The red fire courtyard. The guards stopped her.

"His highness is busy," they said to her. The royal guards. Volca concentrated and listened carefully. The sound indeed was of some giggling and clinging of glasses often. "Drinking game is going on, is it not?" She asked the guards. "Just tell him that Volca is here, he will know," she ordered them. The two guards looked at each other. "Don't hesitate much and do it," she said again, forcing them. She moved forward but they stopped her. "Don't anger me," she warned them. They resisted and Volca lost her temper again. She took out her purple claw whip this time and lashed on them. The pain was unbearable that the guards let her go instantly. "I warned you did I not? All I wanted was to visit the Emperor

Don't repeat this again," she said and stepped inside the courtyard. She heard the moans and screams coming out of the bed chamber. Volca for a moment felt disgusted. She waited ten minutes but it did not seem to end. Soon she searched for a bow and arrow. She then shot them through and the little parts screens. The arrow hit his bedside table correctly and it made the Emperor shocked while the ladies grew scared and ran out of the bed chamber themselves. Some half dressed and half naked.

Then the Emperor, got scared and got up from the bed immediately. "What the hell?" He uttered and called for guards. But nobody dared to move, afraid of the girl standing before them, Volca smirked and played with a small ball of her black demonic fumes in her hands, that would give shock in a person's body. "Why don't you come feel this fumes?" She asked the men playfully. Afraid that they will die anyway decided to remain still. By that time, King Tai walked out. 

"Who the hell dared to do it?" He was wearing only his bottom part of the clothes, exposing his shirtless body, his hair lying down, his crown not adjusted properly. Volca was ashamed to see him. She put the fumes down and it disappeared. 

"Volca," he said shocked. He kept the golden sword back to it palce and stepped down. "Volca, what a surprise, I did not expect you to come for me," 

"You know well I would come for you don't you? Why pretend?" She asked the Emperor back.

"Well certainly not today," he said and shrugged. "Wait here i will be heading out in a minute, we will go together," he said vanished. He went back to his chamber, made the maiden clean the place, and keep the rooms scented. He dressed up quickly. Put on the Celestial King's robe. And he placed the crown properly back on his head, after coming the hair well and hung a perfume sachet on his waist belt along with the sword he hung down. He wanted to make an impression in front of Volca. The Demoness Volca he has been looking forward to meet for long time. His lonely rude heart got a little excited seeing her close for the first time. Fiona never brought Volca to the heaven when she visited even though he had asked her. Hence Emperor Tai had no memory of seeing Volca clearly at all. He stepped out the bed chamber and walked towards the living room, Volca was seated there and served with tea. But she had not touched a thing kept on the table.

"It is safe, why would you not have the snack and the tea?" He asked her. 

"Am fine, I normally don't have food at this hour of the day," she replied. He smiled at her and sat opposite her on the chairs. 

"You look pretty, this is the first time am seeing you close you know," he said openly. 

"I have seen you couple of times from the distance," she said back.

"Really? I see." 

"What were you doing in the broad day light with all those girls?" She asked him without hesitations, more like scolding him.

"Can I not have fun with the ladies in my harem whenever I want?" He asked her back laughing. But it did not sound funny at all for Volca. She wanted to know why he was killing people, killing the girls in the name of having fun and having sex and kill them on the process. Volca raised her brows and looked at the Emperor. She controlled her temper. The eyes of the Emperor reminded her of several things. Her suspicions got even stronger.

"No, the fun has a limit, do you want earn a reputation like this as an Emporer?" She asked him angrily and feeling disgusted even as a Demon. But he misinterpreted her words, and took them as her care for him, for his goodness.

"I agree that am going overboard with the carnal pleasures, I will keep it under control, don't worry," he said instantly. "But leave all of that, there is something we must soon discuss about though," he got up, walked around and stood behind her chairs, keeping his hands on her shoulder. "Don't you think?"
