On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 165: Restoration of the Water Realm

There was rainbow in the sky the never faded for weeks. The birds sang melodious songs throughout the day, the animals rejoicing, the people all excited. The gates of the Water Realm were officially opened for the commoners. They were happy and crying at the same time. 

It was an unexpected moment for all the citizens from all over the Realm to see all the family members back together in one place. The decorations and feasts were arranged in the palace. All the inmates, maids and soldiers returned back to their duties. Army general came running to the family who has returned. He was glad to see that nobody is hurt. People thus decided to celebrate the restoration of the Realm for two weeks. 

King Aenon and family stayed together and in peace. The news spread everywhere. King Aenon sent invitation to hold the feast to shove on people's face how he has won and return back and will remain as strong as he could than his he used to be before. King Aenon took his strength out and put the protection charm around his Realm safely like how no one else would be able to walk in unless he let's them. 

He tripled the security, the people were happy to be back at work. The maids excited and the guards sincerely doing their work, examining everything and implementing new security systems. Cyclops took charge of training the water beasts. He introduced shape shifting whales to the Water King who lived in the remote areas of sea not caring about anybody's business but listening to the stories promised to use their strength to protect a righteous man and his Kingdom. 

King Aenon summoned everyone. He wanted to show off his strength. He arranged all the houses, all the palaces, all the room with lots of facilities for the guests. He tripled the strength of barrier, he made sure his second it all well. Fox Queen was quite savage when it came to her matters. She did it well. On the means he aksed Aqua to not do a thing. He restricted her strictly from going around places and asked her to stay in her room mostly. 

Thinking how her father is taking care of her, Aqua listened to him well. Huo left the Water Palace back to Demon Realm to take care of some trivial matters. He promised Aqua that he would meet her often as he could. 

Aqua stayed inside her room, and if not, she often visited the power resource and tried to meed the shenlong. But she did not come out at all. Aqua could not understand why nor guess when it would happen. She was no longer able to enter the caves either. 

Aqua in a sorrowful manner returned back home. But she went again. She often sat around the places recalling her past where she secretly trained Huo when he was ill. 

"I knew you would be here," Huo said suddenly. Standing behind her. She smiled and hugged him tight. 

"What's my pretty lady doing here?" He asked her, stroking her hair, moving the hair from her face. He leaned in and took her lips in his. He smiled along. It felt wonderful to be just the two of them. She laughed and pushed him away.

"What?" He aksed her seeing her.

"I suddenly remembered what happened when I was asleep,I still remember the horrific look on your face as if you saw a ghost, all pale, how you got up from the chair and dropped everything on the floor, and I pulled you, and," she said kept laughing.

"But i like what happened after you pulled me close," he teased her kissing tip of her nose. She hit his arms and turned away.

"Pa has grounded me, probably because am banished and I should not enter any places," she said. 

"Hmm.. I see,' he said and nothing more about it. 

"I don't understand, why did I get banned in the first place?" She asked him.

"Good people always get punished, and get tested, think that way," he said back.

"Am serious," but she did not have plans to let it go.

"You want to know why?" He asked her. 

"Yes," she was sure about it.

"I don't know," he said. And he laughed out. 

She hit him again. He stopped her and started tickling her that led to playing around and he cornered her against the one of the guardian's statue and kissed her again. He took her face in his hands and he said to her,

"Everything and anything may happen, but as long as we are strong, as long as we put up a fight, as long as we find the way to success no matter how much we get trampled on, we must do what we should, without failure," he looked into her eyes. 

"Can you do that? Will you always put up a fight to win your rights?" He asked her. "Will you be able to choose the right path when there comes such a time?" She had no idea why he would say such things to her. But she felt that he was right and she agreed to them. "Yes I will," she said strongly.

"Good," he said and planted a kiss on her forehead. They held hands and walked around for sometime. Then he dropped her off back in her room and he left silently without letting anybody know. 

Aqua was happy to have met him and she skipped dinner and went straight to bed. She was tired and fell asleep. 

Queen Rivera visited her the next day to see if everything is alright. "Aqua," she called but found that Aqua is still sound asleep. It was unusual to see her daughter sleep in. 

Queen Rivera smiled and sat next to her daughter, watching her sleep. There were few wounds healing in her body and few that left scars. Aqua was wearing only her lingerie since it was too hot inside the chamber. Queen Rivera lifted her hands and slowly storked her daughter's hair who instantly caught them and opened her eyes jumping and stopping her in a second, about to attack.

"It's me relax, it's just me," she said.

"Ma.. oh Ma..." she said and let go of the hands. 

"Yes your Ma," Queen Rivera said and continued stroking Aqua's hair. "Good to see that you are always on alert," she said and smiled worried sick at heart about Aqua's condition. She could see that Aqua has been constantly draining her energy and trying to save people using her blood. "You look too pale, you need nutrition supplements," Mother suggested the daughter. 

"Am fine mom," Aqua assure her mother.

"Look at the sky," Queen Rivera said. "I have not seen them for long," she said. 

"The sky was the same as always, our hearts were not," she looked at her mother. "I missed you every day, but am thankful to few people, Star King, he had the guts to invite me though he knew that I was banished, he also appeared in my dream when I was I come, looked after by Huo in the Demon Realm after I was taken away from heaven and banished. He led to all of you," she revealed the truth. "I left Huo again, and I went in search, I was so rude to King Zidan, but then Prince Leo offered his help,"

"Father sent Leo to do it," Queen Rivera started disclosure her side of the story. 

"What?" Aqua was surprised. 

"When we were dumped at sea, though it was all well planned, we were not sure if it would workout, Prince Leo came forward and helped us, he performed things after learning then and he made Underwater King Dylan rescue us. We were rescued and living there for really long. Dylan also lent us his facilities for us to track you kids," Queen Rivera said everything. 

"Do you really trust him?" Aqua asked her mother. 

"We had to, we had no other way," she said.

"No, trust me, I know what he is behind, I know what he is upto, he may not harm us, but he has intentions, Ma, ask Pa to keep distance. It not going to be the same all the time, it will never be the same," she warned her, seriously. 

"Aqua, what did you see?" Queen Rivera asked her out of concern. 

"Don't ask me, I cannot tell you," she said and got up from the bed. She walked towards her wardrobe and took the a cloth which easily came into her hand she looked inside and shut the door tightly and turned towards her mother immediately. She started sweating but also wished to laugh out loud. 

"Mom, I will come for breakfast after shower, why don't you leave?" She asked. 

"Now, it's not your usual time for shower, what happened today?" Mother asked back.

"I am sweating, it's too hot, see, am not wearing much, I better take a shower in cool water," she lied and pretended. She took her mother's hand and led her outside. She locked the main door behind her and rushed toward the wardrobe, opening them. 

"God," she said.
