On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 42: Ambiguous Heart

Life always serves you with several colourful plates of food to choose. Some maybe mouthwatering and healthy, while other may taste bad. And it is upto to us to experience it and choose what is good for us and our health.

The moment you feel whatever you do is wrong, as soon as you back out and stop committing the sins, you could be pardoned. But going on with it, even if hurts you, doing just to get the benefits, with a product objective motive, you will be punished, severely.

Volca was in the same trap. A eagle in love with the Dragon, who is in love with her best friend. But to eagle, her own heart matters the most, emotional and obstinate enough to go against the whole universe.

Volca was well aware of the situation, leading to the battle, how wrong she is being with Huo in the name of love, her only friend because of her jealousy, her clan by breaking their peaceful days, joining hands with her mother who should be serving good in her post rather than ditching just to get power and develop connections.

Volca was shocked when she realised her mother has notified about Huo'er and his plan to rescue the whole of water realm. She wanted to escape from the suffocation. But luckily he succeeded in doing it. She was relieved but she had only a dream, a rotten dream she itself was aware of, getting Huo'er all for herself and use him to live royally without troubles and money issues.

She felt so cheap of herself but yet she had to realise to live independently from her mother. She was aware of her wrong doing yet she did it all without hesitation. She understood what it is like to be truly a demon. Full of wickedness and sick thoughts.

Volca understood what Auqa meant when she said heaven and hell exist for a reason. But she couldn't understand how Dritan and Huo was so different from the other Demons. 'Could it be that they are not true demons who don't deceive people,' she wondered. But Huo turned into a typical man only because he was brought up by her shifu. She was shifu would kill her for what she had done.

Fiona was woken up by her maid in the middle of the night. But before she could tell her lady about the issue, she heard loud footsteps outside her chamber. It was not a good sign.

Fiona was arrested by the royal guards and dragged away. It was unexpected for her. She didn't know what made Huo arrest her and what action she did blew her cover. Volca couldn't run away and was caught along with her mother.

"What's going on?" Volca asked her mother.

"Cooperate with and keep silent, this could be a test," Fiona asked her daughter to shut her mouth and follow the guards not falling into their traps.

They were locked up in a cell just to be observed. They were provided with ample food and wine. Neat clothes and fans. But they didn't know that and Fiona decided to take a dangerous step further. She acted smart on her own and dug the grave for everyone around her.

Dritan was busy taking measures while Aenon helped him with formations for the battle they might have to fight. But Dritan stopped Aenon from doing anything further and decided to send him back home asking him to not offend the heaven. That was the last thing Dritan wanted to put his friend through, a treason. Even though they have been good friends for years, they always had to take sides coming form different worlds.

"After all heaven and hell exist for a reason don't they?" Dritan reminded Aenon. The words Aenon once taught his daughter. He smiled at his own words coming back to him centuries later. "And we should do our duties, this clan, I will protect them, you should go back and do your duty to gods, how long do you plan to stay here, even though you brought the army in disguise? "

"I can't hold a war, I won't break the Realm's rules," Aenon said. "I have my principle to follow,"

"And I have mine, trust me my friend, war won't reach the Water Kingdom, i can assure you that," Dritan promised King Aenon.

Aenon appreciated and thanked Dritan for everything and decided to leave the realm secretly with his family.

Fiona sent her personally hired prison guards to the heaven and reported the situation to penetrate into the clan. She leaked all the security formations they used and sat inside the prison peacefully meditating asking her daughter to sing a song for her. Volca felt disgusted and still followed all the orders.

"You're the true demon I have ever seen, demonic like people say, heartless, vengeful and filled to top with hatred in your body. And god knows why?" Volca told her.

"Because Dritan was engaged to me when he had a child with the Empress. And called the engagement off,"

"Ma," Volca was shocked.

"Now you are going to pursue the son of his, I would support you, if I didn't bring back Huo'er how can we get any close to the throne," her mother said.

"But pa,"

"Your pa was no one but my personal guard at that time, we made a mistake one night, all because of one mistake, i had to have you and not just that, because were born, Dritan said its inappropriate to split the family carrying on with marriage when his father suggested to finish the wedding," Volca saw her mother clenching her fist as she spoke. She didn't realise that it was all lies. Outright lies.

"So this posts, the power everything was given to us, to you because he pitied you," Fiona smiled and looked at her.

"What else could you think? Because I was good at the battlefield, have higher cultivation level, No," Volca for a moment lost a bit of respect she had for her mother. She couldn't believe the mercy shown towards her were returned back as a backstab to Dritan. Volca teared up and looked away.
