On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 126: Reporting

"Leo when are you returning back?" King Aenon asked Earth Prince.

"When they open the gates," Leo said. 

"It is not going to be any soon," King Aenon said.

"My father knows this, we were prepared for this anyway, my absence at the palace, Pa will take care of it," he said confidently.

"I know," King Aenon agreed.

He was sitting on a study table. He stated helping the Underwater King Dylan with duties, that also was related to Water Realm. He has been busy ever since he woke, forcing himself to focus on work instead of worrying about his Kingdom, and his children. He couldn't imagine the things Aqua would be doing outside. He prayed for her hour of the eveyrday.

"Your highness, about Milan," he began. But at the right time Ariana knocked on the doors. Aenon looked at Prince Leo. 

"Do you really think so?" Leo asked the King. 

And The Water King nodded his head in response. "Ariana is a widow, " King Aenon added instantly before Leo opened the door. Prince Leo's heart exploded. He opened the door and stood the red haired mermaid in front of him, that bright smile on her face. 'What tragedy did you love through?' He wondered and let her in. 

"Good morning," she wished him. Prince Leo nodded his head, and let her in. "Greetings to you your higness," she bowed at the Water King. 

"Good morning," Kimg Aenon greeted her back. 

"Your higness, " she began. "King Dylan asked me to inform you about the dinner going to held at the banquet hall today. I would like to escort you and the family now," she said and bowed. 

"Alright," he said and got up from the chair. Prince Leo stood silently outside the door. Queen Rivera, Prince Adrien and Princess Krystal joined him on his away. He was not sure about the urgency in the meeting arranged. They folleed Ariana and walked into the lavish well arranged fancy banquet hall. It was their first time going to this part of the Coral Palace. Colourful and mind blowing again. Prince Leo walked around with his head turning in 180 degrees nonstop, astounded by the palette shade setting inside the hall, the furniture, the arrangement of large shelves that held books, antiques and cutlery. The chandelier on the ceiling made of crystals and glass looked marvelous. King Aenon walked to wards King Dylan and took his seat next to him. 

"I wanted to show you someone today," King Dylan said to Water King. 

"What is it?" Aenon's heart skipped a beat. 'What could it be?' He wondered 

"Our spy from the Celestial Palace," he replied. 

"A spy?" King Aenon was surprised to know that Underwater Realm infiltered the most secure place on the place, the Celestial Palace. 

"Hmm yes, we have great news today," King Dylan sounded excited. "Let him in," Likg Dylan ordered his assistant to let the spy in. 

A middle aged man in a blue robe appeared in front of them. He bowed at both the kings and knelt down to make the report. 

"Empress Lihua returned to the Celestial Palace, she is back on her duty, she does nor meet the Emperor at all," he reported first. "King Tai sent some of his expert ninjas to the water woods to find Water Princess who survived, asking then to wait for her at the Water Kingdom itself until she returns from the Demon realm,' Queen Rivera was shocked and grew tensed. She was sure about how her daughter would return to her home. But the report went on. "But Emperor Tai did not expect Princess Aqua to be sitting on the throne, inside his court earlier today, she was said to be brave and declaring warning and frowning threats at Emperor Tai, the guards who fought her all has hurt themselves, injured, and wounded, nobody is in a critical condition, she was said to have come to the palace to find something, Emperor is worried wondering what is that he leaked to Aqua unaware of every situation happening around him," the spy gave the complete detail. King Aenon was surprised to know the last part. "She is digging the matter, our matter, she will, I know her well," he said. He shot a look at his family and then to King Dylan. 

"We will handle this smoothly, stop worrying Aenon," King Dylan said. "She is an adult not a young baby, you must know that well, she can do anything, she can do wonders, if she finds us, I won't be able to even react. She will be proving herself by then," 

"There is also something else," Spy said. 

"What now?" Water King asked him.

"Princess bet on the throne, she said she is going to take it and scared Emperor Tai," he said and got up, finishing his report. "She attacked the guards and she left the Palace then, nobody knows where she left," King Aenon stood up immediately. He was proud of how bold and savage his daughter has become fighting alone against the evil, but it was wrong for the heavens, enough to kick her out, enough to take away her titles, disrespecting the Emperor. 

"You have got a very brave daughter, going into the predator's den and walking out safely, attacking them," King Dylan said and lifted his wine. "Don't worry I can see that she is a survivor, she just won't give up that easily, but how did the Demon King let her escape?"

"She must have lured him into her trap and ran away while he put his guard down, or did it together," Queen Rivera walked over and said to the Underwater King. 

"And about Milan, the second princess," King Dylan said.

"She is safe, I know," King Aenon said before Dylan even completed anything. 

"She is one true Fox Queen, I heard that she killed a wolf who tired to molest her," King Aenon shot a look at him, his heart exploding at the news heard. He found it suspicious to see King Dylan's eagerness shown on his children.

"I know it's not my place to report you everything, I will stop if you tell me, or you can use my people to know about the children," King Dylan said before the Water Royals misunderstand his intentions. 

"Let the reports come in everyday, it will help me in making the plan accordingly," King Aenon asked him to continue with the spying. Queen Rivers nodded at her husband, agreeing to the decision made and settled down.

"Grand Prince Aiden saved her, they sent the wolf away together," Dylan informed them. 

"I know well about my son, don't worry sister," Princess Krystal told Queen Rivera, smiling and consoling her.

Ariana stood listening to everything and Leo couldn't help but notice her reactions often to see and confirm if what King Aenon doubted was right. But since nobody has seen the royals before, he couldn't confirm her featured either with anyone related either. But he felt sad for her, for unknown reason, widowed, at the young ages. But she is mermaid for sure. The dinner was served and King Aenon and Leo left the room as quickly as possible. 

"I will try to get close with her," Prince Leo said.

"I have warned you, be careful, she us a widow and she is the powerful memeber of the Underwater Realm, do not estimate anything lesser," King Aenon warned Prince Leo again and again. 

"Am deciding to get close to her, not just for the mission," he said openly. 'Your highness, I hope you understand," 

"Think twice before you act," he reminded the Earth Prince. "The position, your father, the Kingdom and yourself," 

"I know," Prince Leo said and smiled. "But I can promise you one thing, I quickly will try to find the truth before the gates open and when I have to leave, we cannot lose anymore time, its urgent and we have to take care before Aqua does anything, if she is then she will need our support, not just the Demon King's. Huo'er is his father's son, King Dritian sacrificed his life for the people of his Clan, am sure Huo'er would choose the same if he wants to," Prince Leo reminded King Aenon of the raw facts to boost him and come up with plans immediately.  It only then occured to King Aenon about all the history once again. 

"You are right Leo, you are right," he said and turned away. 

An idea popped up in King Aenon's head. And he wanted to expand it. He did not wish to consult it with anyone. Not even his wife until it's time and he wished secretly for Aqua to keep doing whatever she was doing. He as said to King Dyland send out more spies to follow Aqua, Milan, Aiden and Huo without causing doubts and raising suspicions. He started waiting for updates everyday. He decided to leave the Underwater Realm as soon as the opportunity comes as per his plans and made Leo dig more thing and tried to find the information in his own away either. Things began to get tensed. And everything needed correction.
