On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Milan ran towards her sister the moment Huo'er opened their room door. Aqua almost fell down with the force Milan applied on her. Huo quickly placed his hands on her back and balanced her. Milan kissed her sister's cheek and held her hands. "How are you?" That's what she asked first.

"Am fine, look at you, all grown up and," she eyed Aiden. "All pretty," Aqua changed her words. For a moment it was really awkward to look at Aiden the Grand Prince. He looked shy for no reason and avoided looking at Aqua. Huo kept watching him even though the tables had turned. 

"Ahem," Aqua fake coughed and caught Huo'er's attention asking him to be good. "Where were you? I thought I lost all of you until I met the King from the Star Kingdom," 

"Tell me everything, I want to know everything, I will tell you what happend to me," Milan said and looked at Aiden who was looking around the place. "Excuse me," she called him. "Don't you have anything to express to elder sister ?" She questioned him. 

"Er.. I, I know Aqua survived and I was pretty confident about her," he said and shrugged. He was pretending that he is cool. But couple of minutes later, he hugged her catching her off guard and tussles her hair. "Who am I kidding? Damn I missed you Aqua," he smiled. 

"I know," she said and patted his shoulder. She let him go and asked them to settle down, ordering in some food for dinner. It was almost ten at night. Aqua had cleaned the room quickly excepting her sister to join her soon after she finished taking a shower. She asked for change of sheets. 

The food arrived on time and Huo and Aiden served them for the ladies. They spent the time catching up with news. 

"I did not expect father to save the two of us, trapping us inside the woods and using our dummies pretending to be us, and the interesting factor is that Tai did not find it out, pretty marveling, he blindly trusted himself and his proofs, catching us, presenting us in front of the heavens, and kill us just like that, without even checking twice," 

"He is a fool," Aiden said.

"No, don't underestimate him," Huo warned the others. He must be well aware of the situation. But it appears that he is hiding a lot," 

"I agree with that," Aiden backed Huo'er's words. 

"He is killing people out of frustrations, but also because it is part of distracting people from finding out things, terrorising the people and keeping them under control," Huo said.

"And that's exactly what happened thousands of years back when Tai and his father usurped the throne and he is using the same technique after all these years," Aqua put forward the information that is novel to others. 

"What?" Milan asked. 

"Yes," Aqua assured her. "I met a lady in this city while exchanging money with her. She identified me instantly and revealed certain things to me.

"What things?" 

"About the Palace history, the burials, the unfair mass murders, the forced punishments, and hiring," she narrated everything one by one. 

"My goodness, Tai never deserved anything, I feel sick to my stomach things howich we served him over the years," Milan said. Aiden patted her shoulders asking her to relax. 

"What is your plan so?" Aiden asked her. Huo just sat there, on the bed, next to Aqua, but in a very serious line of thought. Trying to come up with ideas to wage a war against Emperor Tai with his demons behind him. But he was hesitating, hesitating to attack his own Heavenly Realm. He listened to Aqua at the same time. He started concentrating the moment everyone asked for her future plans. Aqua at the same time had only one thing in her mind. 

"Kill him," she said without hesitations or any sort of worries. 

"What?" Milan was surprised. "Like really kill him?" She asked to confirm what she heard once again. Aqua nodded her head in a cool and proud manner. She had the confidence nobody else does. She looked at Huo who was gazing at her.. She smiled and got up.

"I agree that it is good idea, but you know it close to not being so practical," Aiden suggested.

"Yes when we keep thinking of how its impossible, it will just remain impossible, but learn it, to overcome and fight whatever you feel is wrong," she advised her family. 

"How will we do this?" Milan asked this time.

"After finding our family, and returning back to Water Realm, our home. We will take control of our own house, then give away certain things, spread the news, spread a fear and attain the power back. None of these are going to be easy," 

"We will do it all anyway," Huo'er said.

"Don't put your head in this, I am warning you,' Aqua said to the Demon King strictly. 

"I know what to do, you don't worry about it," he assured her. But he did not mean he told her. 

"Huo'er," but Huo stooped Aqua from speaking further. 

"What should we do now? Find our family?" Milan asked her elder sister. 

"Yes, find them, go back to the Palace, and then fight along them," 

"But how, who, about what?" They asked the Queen Princess. 

"Find King Zidan soon and you will get the answers for all in a snap of your finger," Aqua told them. 

"King Zidan knows everything?" Milan was shocked. 

"How did you know?" Aiden asked her.

"The last day you came to visit our master, you left without speaking to me, remember?" Aqua reminded Aiden of an incident. "That day soon after you left, I came across two maps quickly. A map to King Zidan's palace and one more that I couldn't identify and also different from normal landscape, but not exactly land,"

"But I did not see the other map you were discussing about," Aiden said trying his best to recall everything he had seen in the hut but nothing appeared in head

"Shifu is playing great in the middle," Milan shared her opinion. He disturbed others' highlights. He always had midnight things going on with him, he is the key concept for upsetting us, sending us alone, I won't be admitted back in my place now, he won't be either," Aiden said and sipped a mouthful of wine. 

"Why would you not be admitted?" Aqua asked. "What did you d" Aqua wanted to know what he had done.

"Then it is applicable to me too," Milan said along.

"Whaaaaa?" Aqua was surprised. 

Milan narrated what happend with the wolf. And it made sense. Thw two definitely would be punished a little.

"We will see that later, getting back to business, when should we meet King Zidan?" Huo'er asked everyone.

"The soon the better," Aqua said.

"I know the way," Aiden said. 

"I found the entrance today," Aqua informed them. Both together. 

"Castle," Aiden and Aqua said together. 

"First thing in the morning," Milan said. 

"Leave and find King Zidan," Huo completed the sentence. "But don't think its easy, you think the King would easily open up?" 

"He won't, he won't to us," Aqua was sure of that.

"Then what do we do?" They asked her together. 

"I know what to do, you three do not worry about that," 

"Don't," Huo said straight. 

"You can't torture him, you are not that, you will not choose such ways would you?" Huo asked her. It is then Aiden noticed the little change in the heart of Aqua. He looked at Huo immediately. 

"Why not? We need answers, we do not have time," Princess Aqua raised her voice a little.

"Aqua he is our ally, and more like your family," Huo reminded her. 

"Fine, drop it," she said and stopped talking about it. 

"The sisters are getting out of control these days Huo'er," Aiden told him. "Milan is no different," he said. "It is hard to contain their anger," 

"We will handle it smoothly, the two of you keep to yourself," Huo said to them.

Aqua and Milan looked at each other. 

"We know what to do," Aqua said and walked towards the study table. 

"Could there be something going on at sea?" Aqua put forward the important point. "Buried at sea he said, Tai, when I asked him, I find it very suspicious, he was a fool to do it at thag time and being a heartless piece of crap. Returned back to where we came from, water to water," Aqua carefully chose her words.

"It suddenly makes me want to search the sea," Aiden sudden sitting straight on the bed and looking at each of them. None were in a relaxing mood but tired and frustrated. He wondered why Huo'er also looked a little bit tired and did not think further. 

"Let's go?" Aqua asked.

"Now?" The three, asked together. 

"How long do you plan staying inside the suite?"

'Not long enough, get up and let's leave," Aiden said and prepared to leave. He gave a little space for the girl and get ready for show. Couple of minutes later, after preparing well, the fantastic four got out on the road. During the busiest hour at the night. Vehicles were passing by.

They stood in front of the road, but nothing stopped. Something appeared in front of them at the right time. "What....?"
