On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

"Where is Aqua?" King Aenon barged in to the bed charmer of Aqua. But the scene was pretty regretful for a father to see his daughter sleeping while a man is watching her sleep. Luckily the two were dressed. 

Aqua pretended to sleep while Huo pretended to watch her sleep while they heard loud noises coming from outside the door whike they were sleeping together in each other's arms. Aqua smiled as she laid with her eyes closed. Huo got up and asked everyone to remain silent.

"She said she is tired," Huo said to her family. Queen Rivera, Milan, and even Aiden had walked into the room following King Aenon the moment the noticed the absence of Aqua and Demon King. 

King Aenon cleared his throat and looked around the room. 

"What is it?" King Huo asked Aqua's father.

"What were you doing here?" He asked Huo'er. 

"I was just giving her company," he lied. Aqua was smiling even more but buried her head on the pillow. 

"Hmm..." King Aenon nodded his head. "Let us talk later when Aqua is up. 

"Please walk into my room and rest there, let us wait for Aqua to wake up," Huo'er said and guided them to the adjacent bed chamber. It was the first time Milan and Aiden was visiting the bed chambers in the Demon's Castle. 

"Quite luxurious," Milan whispered to Aiden who was looking all around him. 

"Hmm yes," he said back.

"Of course yes, Demons are not awfully bad like you imagine, we have good livelihood too and people are pretty good as long as you don't offend them, they may bit be bright, they may be sly, but they have a heart too, and they will understand, not Demon is a Demon you imagine," Huo'er who heard Milan explained. 

"Yeah yeah, I agree," Milan said and smiled. She felt embarrassed. 

They entered the King's room. "Please settle down," Demon King said to everyone. 

At that time, Aiden and King Aenon found something on one of the chairs. 

"Huo'er," he called angrily. Aiden pressed his lips controlling his laughter. 

"Yes," Huo turned around and stood still. 

"What is this?" He said pointing at a petticoat lying. It was unfortunately Aqua's. When he heard footsteps outside the door, he immediately moved all the clothes lying on the floor in Aqua's chamber to his. But he forgot that when he was taking her family to his room. 

"Oh that, that.. " he had absolutely nothing to say. "That is, my room has good ventilation, maybe she put it here to dry the washed clothes," he struggled to lie. 

"Is that what you two were doing?" King Aenon asked.

"Pa.." Milan tried to calm her father.

"Pa.." that time Aqua showed up, all dressed and walked into the room. "What are you asking him? Leave it," she said. 

"I was telling pa.." Milan told her sister. 

"They are together, you know it, why overreact now?" Queen Rivera asked very slowly to her husband. 

"They are still not.. not married, can they not be careful and not make other gossip about them," King Aenon asked.

"Is there a soul in heaven and hell who does not know about their relationship and story?" Milan asked her father. "Leave that pa,"

King Aenon said nothing getting no support from his family. 

"Ok. I wanted to talk about something very important," 

"What is it pa?" Aqua asked as they all settled down.

"Come back home with me," he said. Everyone fell silent. That was not expected from Aenon.

"What?" King Huo asked. "No," he said straight.

"Listen first," King Aenon said and shot a look at Huo. 

"Pa," Aqua called. 

"Listen to me," Water King said again. "I cannot let you just stay in the Castle like that. You both need to get married in the right way. For that Huo'er has to come home asking for your hand with his guardians, and we elders have to approve you two, and hold a wedding, and I want to send you off with him to the Demon Realm that way," King Aenon explained what he wanted to do as a father.

Everyone smiled and looked at Huo. He nodded. He agreed to the decision and everyone waited for Aqua's decision. She took a deep breath. She was hurt all these days because of the way her family handled things and in the end got kicked out of the Realm. But this day, she had nothing to say against her father and disagree to his opinion which was about her future. She smiled with fears and nodded her head. "Okay," she agreed. She wanted a proper wedding too. After all the hurdles they crossed, she felt Huo and she deserve best things in the universe. 

"Others will not support you, will you invite them all if they don't?" Aqua asked her father.

"Who cares about others?" Milan asked. 

"This is about our girl and her wedding, we need no one's opinion, we just want to know your words and agreement in this, it is your life not their. Whether the groom is a Demon, a moral, a ghost, a beast, a vampire or let it be anything," Aiden spoke very supportive. "Right pa?" He asked the Water King. 

"Right," Water King agreed and they all laughed. 

Aqua finally felt relived and satisfied. Their lives were no longer in danger. The villain was gone and people has got their peaceful lives back even though numerous lives had to be lost and sacrificed. Aqua watched everyone and sat there smiling, accepting the reality. King Huo watched her. He was glad that she is finally happy. 'I wish you were here to see this,' he told his father inside his mind. 

The very next day, Aqua had to pack up.

"See you soon," she said to Huo and kissed his lips. 

"See you soon," he said and waved at her, as she left with her family back to Water Realm. It was a good day and a good beginning for everyone. The sky was bright and clear. And laughter being carried by the wind. 

"A few more days," Demon King said and stood watching every guest he had leave one by one.
