On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Huo'er sent people secretly to rescue the Water king and his family from the prison to bring then back to demon realm. He did not wish to sit and watch as Aqua suffered seeing her family struggle. Huo took Aqua to his chamber and asked her to rest up. She looked really tired for no reason. He did not want to ask her since she had too much going on in her head.

"Wait here until they come back," he said to her.

"Do they even know the way to the Celestial Prison? It is not easy to penetrate unless you are used to the way," she told him.

"They will not fail us, you can trust me on that," he tried to console her. But she was not convinced. He ordered the maids to serve Aqua with fresh clothes and food.

He sat next to her as the maids left the room and took her hand in his. "Don't worry, we will live through this," he promised her.

"We will," she smiled looking away. "We have to," she said again slowly raising her hands to cradle her womb which Huo'er did not notice at all. She wondered if she should tell him about the unplanned, unexpected pregnancy that had happened to them. But she did not wish to ruin in his focus on the war that was about to come any hour.

"King Aenon will be fine and back with his family just wait few more hours, please don't worry," He kept assuring her.

Huo moved closer to her and planted a kiss on her forehead. He sensed a sort of tension between but let it go. He got up and silently left the room as she laid down in his dragon bed. She was surprised to see the dragon bed in the Demon Clan's castle. 'Why is he given the dragon bed,' she thought and got up suddenly something striking her mind.

Aqua wondered about what happened to her assistant. She didn't know that Yuri was given a bed space in the maid's out house in the demon castle for her to rest.

Dritan prepared thr army for the battle. He was sure emperor won't sit quiet anymore.

He recalled seeing someone in the celestial palace for a moment before he left.

"Dritan," he heard a female voice calling him.

"You highness, " Drtian said as he saw her. The Empress standing in front of him, radiating in the sun light. He felt his heart stooping low as he saw her. The Empress walked towards the demon king smiling.

"How are you?" she asked him.

"You know it better than anybody else,"

"Okay," she said unable to say anything else.

"Why?" Dritan asked her, gathering up his courage, one question he had wanted to ask for years

.

"Would you believe if I say so?" she asked him, tears whelmed in her eyes.

"Tell me why?"

"When one surrender, two lives could be spared, tell me wouldn't you fall for such a promise," Dritan fumed with anger as he heard it. "I fell for it, I thought he would spare my son and let you go. Then he forced me to give birth to Aaron. Little did I know that he would murder my little boy and give you such a hard time,"

"He is not dead," Dritan informed her.

"Is it true then? I did always see his constellation, but is it true,?" she asked him curiously.

Dritan took her hands and dragged her to show her what their son has become into. The Empress saw with her own eyes, Huo fighting with guards, trying to save his woman. She burst into tears. "It reminds me of how you were in the old days," she said holding on tight to his hands.

"You see him, he looks just like you, see," Dritan said proudly.

"No but he has got your heart, that's what's important, demons are always stated bad, but nobody know how different you are and how upright our son is,"

"Let me take you away, atleast now," he said looking into her eyes. She didn't say anything.

"Give me some time," she asked him.

"How long more do you want, is it not enough that you have been caged here for so long, when was the last time you used your powers, you are dragon, have you forgotten that? Dritan got angry again.

"Patience, if I leave now everyone would know," she said. "Wait till the ceremony, "

"There's no ceremony, he maybe our son but not a percent like us, he wouldn't let Aqua marry you son, she belongs to him, help me find a way to send her family to demon realm, come along with then," he ordered the empress who stood shocked to hear her eldest son's relationship with the water princess. Little did she know she is going to be a grand mother.

Dritan dispersed his thoughts coming back to reality. He walked back to the prison and asked the guards to tighten the security and asked them to soon find Fiona and her daughter as he felt suspicious after listening to Aqua.

Few hours later, Huo was told that Aqua is found missing from his chamber. Huo got alerted. He should have known that she would go back to the Celestial Palace to rescue the family herself. He got worked up and sat a few minutes thinking and trying to make a plan.

Huo did not want to worry his father, arranged for few of his personal guards and decided to go back to heaven. The journey that he shouldn't make but have to since she has walked back to the cave again. "You better stay alive and don't make me live in vain," he uttered as he walked out of the castle and apparated along with the guards.

He remembered to keep his sword unsealed and controlled its powers as he reached the heaven once again. The gates around the palace were heavily guarded.
