Chapter 40: Aaron's short lived love
The Celestial Palace was extremely calm for the things that has happened in the past few hours. It must be a trap, Aqua was sure of it. She charged her crystals to use them anytime and walked in confidently. Her white ceremony gown with a crown in her head. It was heavy. The wind touched her silky black hair, letting it fly. She felt the energy rising in her body, flowing through her veins.
Aaron was waiting for her in the entrance of the celestial prison. There was a mischief in his eyes. It looked like he was having fun rather than worrying about the security issues.
"You sure do know the way around here don't you?" he said, smiling, walking towards her. His braided hair on either side of his hair and brown hair lying, his eyes were sparkling as he set his on her. Although he had a handsome face, he had a heart too dark and full of nonsense. It made Aqua wonder what kind of mess would heaven be in under his reign. 'Huo'er's half brother, but exactly the opposite of him in every way. It must be the difference in the fathers probably,' Aqua thought taking steps forward without hesitations.
"You should know it, us wearing these ceremony robes and behaving like we are enemies, do we need it? follow me to our chamber, we can end this war falling over our heads, by fulfilling the desires What say?" Aaron took her hands.
"Why don't you release my parents, and we will talk about it ?" she put the deal forward looking into his eyes. Okay that is the only thing that resembled his brother. Those same pairs of eyes.
"Then who should take responsibility for my half brother's doings, we surely can't let a Demon trample our place can we?" he asked her. It made Aqua clear that the so called righteous rulers of the heaven are worst than wild beasts in the woods attacking people without reasons.
"So be it," she said and drew out her sword. The storm was brought around by her sword, true shenlong. Aqua put all of her mixed martial arts strength out and fought with Aaron who was shocked to see her level of cultivation, higher than his own. He was embarrassed for a moment to be titled as the celestial prince with such lower martial skill, and the heir to throne. He smirked and declared to her. He made up his mind and yet very daring.
"You can only be fine my princess," he shouted, panting hard, as she kept attacking him and cut his sleeves. "I am falling for you, I just won't let anybody else have you," he kept going. "You're mine," he found himself falling in love in the most strangest time as he said to her. He laughed and stopped fighting. She watched him, feeling stupid. She was dealing with a simplest empty headed prince. Then she put the sword on his neck and he knelt down, keeping his sword away and looked at her. She was burning with rage. Her eyes had the fury he has never felt before.
The sky above her hard, dark with thunder. He reached for her. He felt the heat on her skin and withdrew his hands, it didn't dawn to him though. Thinking that it must the unique power power on her body acting up, he let it go.
She leaned down and took the bunch of keys to the prison from his belt and he took that chance to kiss her. She kicked him right on his chest and he fell on his back, laughing hard. He did expect that. But he just let her go, not wishing to fight long and went in search of his Emperor father who was resting in his chamber. Emperor had ordered for Empress to accompany him to the prison.
Aaron walked into the chamber and remained silent. He took the orders to lead the troops to fight the Demons and left eyeing his mother. Empress took the signal and went straight to the prison.
But the scenes she witnessed were appalling. She saw the water princess fighting the number of guards at the same time and in few minutes she was accompanied by someone even more unexpected. Empress gasped and stood at the entrance without taking a step forward. She used her powers to unlock the cell.
King Aenon walked out with Rivera. Milan and Aiden stopped fighting and rushed over to them while Aqua, Huo and his guards fought the palace guards. Empress was running out of time. Before the Emperor Tai reached the prison she aske the others to leave quickly as possible and helped them kill the guards. Aenon nodded his head at the Empress thanking her and apparated out with his family to the Border.
Aqua collapsed the moment they reached the place. Milan supported her and fed her with the energy pill and gave her some water from the river.
"Let's leave soon, though nobody knows about this place, My castle is safer than the Water Realm, please come with me your highness, " the Demon King requested Aenon and his family. Aenon nodded and looked around the place.
"I can't believe there was such a place I left out without security," he said.
"This is Aqua's hideout," Aiden informed his uncle.
"Wait, is this the place you took my daughter and," Aenon stopped in the middle.
"Pa stop," Aqua got on her feet and stopped her father from talking. Huo'er turned red with embarrassment. Huo'er turned and guided the way.
But Aenon refused. "There is something I have to do, i can't let the Water Kingdom sink can i ? i should go there,"
"Pa you're right, we should," Aqua said and walked towards her father.
"No, you're the most wanted along with Huo'er now, stay with him, don't come to our palace now,' Aenon advised her.
"What are you talking about Aqua? What's wrong? Look at yourself, you look weak, using the powers," Huo said. "Come with me, I will take care of her your highness," he assured Aenon and left with Aqua quickly.
He took her to his castle immediately.
Dritan had no clue of whatever was happening reminiscing about his past and regret things that had happened. A clock he can never turn back the time to. He waited for the guards to being back the people from water realm. But instead he saw Huo and Aqua coming and along at the entrance. He hurried towards them.
