On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Emperor Tai called the ministers to hold an official meeting regarding the dismissal and suspension of posts, fields and the deals with the Demon Realm. In moment he locked up his only heir, he shut all the connections to the Demon Realm and decided to utilise the chance thinking Empress would not return back to Celestial Palace from her seclusion any soon. 

The minsters of all the Celestial clans prepared to visit the Emperor. Things were getting pretty difficult to handle. The ministers were divided into two groups. One against the Emperor and one supporting everything the Emperor was doing. While the secret moves of both the groups were for one single aim, a single motive, to over throw the Emperor and begin in a era with building a new empire byt these prominent clans in the heaven. They were not open about its but fighting the cold war constantly. 

Emperor prepared some documents and he stepped out of his chamber. He did not let Volca out of the underground chamber, locking her up, to protect the heir who is apparently stronger than Late Prince Aaron used to be. Emperor Tai did not wish to lose his blood again and get disappointed in life. Before he left, he ordered the bed chamber guards to not let any one inside his chamber, not even cleaning maids for hiding Volca there for some days. He was pretty excited to do the wrong thing in the life of his. He walked straight to the court hall where everyone was waiting for him. "The faces of the ministers looked gloomy, dull, and full of doubts," but Emperor Tai did not mind any of that fact. He was smiling and humming to songs which surprised everyone to see how wonderfully he has created a mood for himself. But the trainees were panicking a little. "Hurry up and sit down quickly, we really have a lot to discuss and derive on discussion. 

"Yes your highness," every single one of the ministers present in the court bowed and welcoming him unpleasantly. 

"Settle down," Emperor Tai ordered. "Say it fast," he hurried the people for no reason.

"Say what?" They asked and looked at each other. 

"Nothing to say?" 

"Your higness we do not get you" one old man said to him, the human affairs minister of the palace said. 

"Are you dumb?" Emperor Tai got irritated. Everybody felt offended remained silent. 

"Your highness," the minister who support the Emperor began to speak. The minister of historical affairs. He had very deep intentions. "I know what you meant," he stepped forward. "War," he said openly and rightly. Emperor Tai laughed at out loud and clapped his hands. "I will raise your salary a little," The history minister bowed and accepted the reward. 

"Did I not tell you all how we will cut terms and deals with the Demon Realm?" What more doubt do you have on that?"

"But why now your highness, are the things not fine now?" Minister of interior asked the Emperor, which filled Tai out. He got up threw a dagger towards the old man straight to his heart. The minister of interior stood in shock as he bled, and fell on the floor, slowly losing his life, stopping his breathing and died unfortunately for asking a mere question. Everybody was shocked and afraid that nobody even supported the old man aa he was attacked but let him die all alone among the large crowd. Their powers were all for nothing. They looked useless. There was strong winds blowing outside palace, and the sky looked purple with rain clouds. Emperor Tai looked outside and smirked. "We will wage a war," He declared. 

"Your highness," some called him, but he ignored them. 

"We are the Celestial beings, we do not gave to be submissive or go in cooperation with that Demons, they will always be our natural and sworn enemies, what is the need to have a bond with them? What is the need to consider their views and opinions in our affairs, in our life where they should be serving us? When did the heaven grow smaller and became place to be visited by the satan and creatures that are less human?" He raised his voice convincing his people to support him. Where is our Prince Aaron? Why was the Celestial prince, our heir to throne murdered brutally?" There were voices and murmurs between the ministers when Prince Aaron's name was mentioned. Nothing he said made sense to anybody. But still people supported him. "He was killed by Aiden, the Grand Prince of Water Realm we took care off, Why? Because of a Demon, for a Demon he killed our prince, he was bewitched by the satan enough to kill a Celestial prince and we gave him the right punishment did we not?" Emperor Tai asked.

"Yes your highness," everyone said together in one voice. They all bowed to him. Emperor Tai sat on the throne smiling. He took a glass of wine from the table beside him and sipped them. He felt victorious. He was satisfied. The crown on his head was shining bright. 

"We will drive away the demons back to their places, we will teach them what we are who they should be, below us, and serve us right," the minister of historical affairs shouted out loud. Some of them shouted and screamed along with him, some guards along with the ministers. Emperor Tai got happy listening to those words. 

"But first," he got up. Emperor walked down the throne, he had a serious expression this expression. "But first, we will take down the Water Realm forever," he uttered those words without flinching.

The murmurs raised again. Noone looked happy about it, not even the minister of historical affairs. Everybody stood shocked, speechless. It is such a wrong thing to do. First killing them, now even taking away their lands without anyone's consent. 

"And then, I will appoint one of my ministers as the stand by King of Water Realm," people gasped as Tai said that. Some were excited and majority worried. How to make somebody the King of Water Realm when nobody knows how to control the water ways, the weather and read the stars accordingly to balance with the work of other Realms. Nobody was willing to become the King of Water Realm just like that. And never had anything happened like this before in the history. The body of the old man, minister of interior laid ther, still bleeding. Nobody even cared to close the eyes. Heaven did not seem like a place people hope for and boast about. Heaven was not in the right hands and sound minds. 

Time was running, so did the tension between the realms and people grow deeper. Everything looked wrong, everything felt wrong, the dark days were dooming upon the heavens and it looked like a grand trial for someone to clear and take a position. But who? No one knew. No one cared. Yet everyone wanted the place, the position. Is that even possible? No one had the answers. 

"Should we not think about it?" Emperor Tai asked looking at the expression of his ministers. No one uttered a word, scared and sweating. They did not know what to do. "Come on tell me," Tai asked them. He kept asking for long. "Tell me, I have not decided entirely, I want to know the opinion of the memebers of my court," 

"Come say it, out loud," he asked raising his voice. "You," pointed at the minister of historical affairs. "Why don't you say it? Say something,"

"Am with you, your highness, I think the similar way, a palace should not be deserted for long, then they will be taken over by the the ghosts and the satan," he said.

"That's nothing but a rumour," another minister of trade laughed out loud and said. Emperor Tai shot a look at him which silenced his mouth immediately. 

"What about you?" He then pointed at the minister of trade. A man who always supported the Water King, was asked asked to speak. He was brave enough to do it. 

"I don't think one should mess with the Water Realm, the Shenlong is no joke, we all know it," he said which was backed by some other ministers. Emperor Tai smirked. 

"Shenlong, you think we cannot over the curse of Shenlong?" He asked his followers.

"No," minister of trade declared openly. 

"Then you will lead the way for our troops to Water Realm and see if the curse of shenlong is Realm when the throne gets usurped," he said walking towards the minister and latted his shoulders. 

"Your highness," he tired to speak back.

"I said what I have to, no more discussions, I have detailed it all, we will plan a date, I will let you know, start collecting the troops, train them now on, stockpile all the food and water necessary, because it is going to be a long journey, a long fight," he said and apparated leaving the crowd in chaos. The ministers started breathing again and screaming at each other. 

"This us crazy,"

"No this is actually good,"

"But what is the need?"

"No it should be stopped,"

"No no, we must take the demons down, we should not let then have their way, did you not hear that? Equal rights for Demons like us?" The discussion continued for hours. Then someone entered the court, the door creaked open, and there stood a figure.

"Silence," the voice shouted out loud.

Everyone bowed immediately and went silent.
