On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 193: Information from Jin

Aqua's heart raised the moment she stepped into Water Realm. Every thing that happened the last time she left home rushed into her mind. Queen Rivera held her daughter by her shoulder and asked her to enter. Milan took her hands and led her. 

Soon as they reached back home, the royal decree from Empress Lihua reached the palace. 

"Attend the royal conference going to be held in two days, the agenda will be announced during the meeting," King Aenon nodded his head, and looked at his family. They could guess what the agenda is. 

The very next day they prepared to travel. King Aenon decided to take Aqua with him. Aqua was determined to make things right. She was aware that Demon King would not be invited to the occasion. 

Aqua packed up few clothes and decided to travel light. She did not intend to stay longer than a day or two and return back home as soon as the conference ends. She did not who all will try to mock her or stand against her hence she wanted to safe her father from hearing bullshit. Especially the ungrateful acquaintance, Beast King. She wondered why his sons were no longer morally right. 

Milan and Queen Rivera helped Aqua settled down and travel with her father.

"Don't mind if your father says something," Her mother advised her. 

"I'm fine," Aqua said. "It's not like I don't know any of you," Queen Rivera was hurt hearing that.

"Aqua, I don't know how long you are going to keep it in your mind and feel wronged," 

"Mother that does not mean I was never wronged, I will take time, just relax," Aqua told her mother back. 

"Ok, just think and think about it, you can hate us all you want till you feel better, I don't care, if you cannot forget or forgive then we cannot do anything about it either. We did admit that it was part of some plans and we could not work it out properly and had to do this all," 

"Leave it, since you would not understand what I'm going through either," Aqua said and ignored everyone. She was trying her best to not feed her inner demon with hatred. 

The next morning Aqua woke up and decided to take a bath before travelling. She wanted to look fresh. But she felt like someone is peeping over her. Aqua turned around and sent out ropes to tie up the person. "Come out," she ordered. 

"It's me," she heard a familiar voice. Aqua bursted out with laughter. Jin, the cyclops Aqua adopted as a memeber of Water Realm.

"Jin, what? Aqua was surprised. She had no seen him for long. "How are you? Wait! Why were you sneaking?" She aksed him.

"I was worried," Jin said. "Just wanted to see how you are doing, coming back from a war," 

"I'm fine, I'm fine Jin," Aqua smiled. "Sit down, let's have breakfast," she said to him. 

"No sister, aniyeyo, I'm fine," he rejected.

"Sit down come on," she said. "No formalities," Aqua no longer followed any rule of a crown princess. She did not understand why one should not dine with friends whatever class they belonged to. 

"I heard you are going to the Celestial Palace," Jin said. 

"Yes, do you want to join me?" 

"Really? May I?" Jin got excited. 

"Yes yes you may, let us go together," Aqua smiled. The food she ordered for two people were brought in by the maids. 

Queen Rivera and her family members were upset about the way she was behaving, having breakfast meal with a cyclops and not her family. 

Maids served the food and left the room. "How is Huo'er bro?" Jin asked. Aqua laughed out loud.

"You officially made me and Huo your brother and sister huh?" 

"I did," Jin said proudly. Aqua had her food, and drank her green tea. 

"Why did you want to see me?" Aqua asked Jin. It was evident that he wanted to tell her something. 

"Sis, don't feel bad," Jin began. "I don't know much, but please be careful of Underwater Kingdom and their people, the King is not a noble man. He is not kind. He has many intentions," 

"I know that Jin dear, I will take care," Aqua said. 

"I know a secret," Jin said. Aqua sat stiff. She wondered if Jin knows about the last Phoenix. She looked at him and kept smiling. 

"What is it?" Aqya asked patiently.

"I have a feeling that something is happening in the Ice Realm," 

"What in the Ice Realm?" Aqua asked. She was relieved that Jin was not talking about the Phoenix. 

"I heard a rumour that Ice God Dong Lixue is no more, its been few years, the news has been kept hidden," 

"What?' Aqua was shocked. "No," 

"Yes,"

"Can this information maybe trusted?" 

"Yes, solid news, from the insiders, the second Prince Erwin is ripped off from his status and positions, and under House Arrest until Ice God Lixue gets reincarnated," 

"So Prince Erwin killed him?" 

"No Aqua sis but he assisted someone to do the deed," Jin explained. 

"Crown Prince Lixue and I used ti train together. We have same Master. Master Bo Hai, but he never said anything to us,' Aqua said and placed her tea cup down on the table.

"Keep this in mind while attending the conference, no one knows so far but King Fuyuto will join the meeting and join hands with King Dylan. They would definitely try to say something harsh," 

"How do you know this much Jin?" Aqua was surprised about that. "These information are really precious and dangerous to keep with you,"

"I have told you now it is your duty and risk," Jin shrugged. "The Beasts in every realm are not treated well. So beasts of all Realms stay connected and live in our own way,"

"Hey if you dare to sell Water Realm I will kill you myself," Aqua warned him immediately. 

"To the universe am a wandering beast with no home, no one is afraid of sharing with me, since my words will not be valued, that's the face I have adopted, don't worry I will be useful to only you," he said. His eyes were glowing with admiration, love, and respect for the person who saved him. Aqua smiled and tousled his hair. 

"Eat up," she said to him.
