On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 166: Volca's Chaotic Mind

"Yes I mean it, I mean us working together, I want us to be safe, after all we use the same dark matter to keep breathing, don't we?" Volca asked Emperor Tai. 

He looked at her in wonder. "What?" He asked her. He did not understand the last part of her sentence and indeed peoved himself to be a foolish King.

"Pa, I see that you still don't get it," she said and moved closer to him. She began to massage his shoulders. He started liking her dearly. 'Indeed a great daughter. Might as well use her,' he thought inside her his head. The quality of making use of people never left his head. 

"Listen, why did mother bring me up secretly?" She put forward the question. "To make me strong and to present me to you exactly like as it has happened, I know my mother well, her plans never fail. She led me to you, it means, you need me and i need you too, if we do not trust each, then should we end up killing each other?" She asked her biological father she had zero love for, putting up a great act. 

"What say? Should be collab then? She asked again. He was hesitating alot. "I can see you don't even trust yourself to make decision," she said smirking, stopping massaging his shoulder and walking away from her her back turned to him, looking at the sky, pretending to gazing while she calculated more inside her head. 

"Alright, alright," he said and stood.

'Yes,' she said inside her head. "Hmm?" She asked back.

"I get your point, we should not lose at any cost, let's work together, but don't get involved in my business," 

"Okay but its applicable to me too, don't interrupt my private life, my sex life ,my love life anything," she said to him. 

"You liked the guys did you not?" Tai aksed his daughter.

"Yes, but its terrible to see them dying, life in vain," she sympathised and looked at Tai. 

"I will give you more," he said and walked away. 

"Promise me you won't invade my privacy again," she said. 

"I won't, do what to you want," he said and left, walking slowly. She was sure that he would definitely spy on her. She walked back into her chamber which was cleaned spotless by the maids and she decided to take a shower. She then planned on visiting the Empress, Lihua who was hurt by her badly. She regretted it, she felt too bad about it than a Demoness should.

She let Empress Lihua rest. But she was disturbed about what happened in the battle field. "How the heck did I get manipulated, all of us?" She could not stop thinking about it.

"What the hell was that? Why did he do that to me? What the hell is slave seed,' she wondered recalling the name Aqua mentioned while fighting on the battle ground. 

She asked a maid who had access to the library and got helped by her. Volca had to give away her favourite brooch as the token for it. Volca spent some time in the library. She searched for the details about slave seed for really long time. She was determined to find out. And hours later, she managed to get one. "Yes it's here," she said.

She turned the pages. Apparently there was only a very short description about it. And she realised it is prohibited method of manipulation among the humans, the Angels but which is legal for demons. But for centuries Demon Kings banned this method of manipulation in demons either. Slave seed feed on the blood like leech of people it lies. Slowly carving the inside until that person will no longer, cutting short the life span into half. It will help the person who planted it control it since they are let to feed on others. The seed becomes slave to the planter and controls the nature of the heart. Vicious and kills people. Once rebelled against the seed implanted, person will lose his mind forever and go insane or lead to extreme cases of internal injuries, destroy the primordial dan and kill. 

Volca stood up suddenly. But she kept reading them. 

The seeds is grown inside the caves of the Demon mountain which was later destroyed by the heavenly Emperors until a member of Phoenix family started using it again for official purposes. Volca understood it quickly. Not the Phoenix but the fake Phoenix. 

Volca decided to go visit the place and ask General Hawk for help. Only man she could trust her work with. She made sure that she is not being followed and got out of the Celestial palace safely. 

She apparated and went straight to Demon's castle. 

"Please wait for some hours if you are here to meet the King," The King's Guard said. By that time general Hawk came to meet her in the court. 

"Volca, welcome home," he greeted her.

"Uncle Hawk," she greeted him back. "I heard that the King is back, is he?" That was what she asked him first. 

"Yes he is, he returned after the battle," he said smiling. 

"How is he?" She showed her concern. 

"Good, healthy, calm," General Hawk did not say much since he did not wish to hurt her feelings. He has been happy and excited ever since rekindled his relationship with the water princess.

"Perfect," she nodded. "Listen u originally came here to meet you, come with me," she told General Hawk who looked startled listening to her. 

"Say it," he said.

"It's about slave seed," 

"Hush, don't pronounce such prohibited matters," he asked her to shut her mouth and looked around to see if there is anyone close to them. There were none. He moved closer to her and listened to her again. 

"What about it?"

"Uncle Hawk, I am a victim of the slave seed, you know it right?" 

"I heard about it," he said nodding his head. 

"Do you know who planted it in me, Emperor Tai, but do you know the fact that slave seed can grow only in the soil of the Demon land?" 

"No I did not know that," he replied. 

"In the caves of Demon Mountain in the west of the dessert, guarded by nobody except a sphinx which will ask you a riddle to answer. If you do, you can enter the cave and pick the seeds,"

"Unbelievable, was that not banned? It kills people, " he was shocked. 

"Yes, but reopened by Emperor Tai again for his gain. He manipulated all of the troops sent to Water Realm. And it's dangerous. I even ended up severely injuring Empress Lihua," 

"What do you want me to do?" General Hawk asked her.

"Destroy it, at any cost. Tell Huo and get his secret orders. You do not have to let any soul know about the mission, nobody should know it, next time Tai goes there to get the seeds, he should not find it unless he steps inside and discovers that its destroyed, completely, shake his confidence, he is not sad or shocked to find the return of water royals because he feels he can take anyone down," she kept talking.

"Relax Volca, we will find a way," General Hawk was surprised to see Volca, daughter of Fiona being the opposite of her mother. General Hawk wondered if Volca knows the truth or not. Things that he had witnessed, things he could never forget, things that hurt him, things which ruined Volca's life, all because of Fiona's foolish and filthy grudges towards Late King Dritan. And the like minded Emperor Tai who had the very similar line of thoughts just line Fiona, still living like that. 

"It's not about finding the way, its about saving people,' she said.

"Do you really mean it?" He asked her.

"I mean it," she said strongly. "General Hawk it's no joke, and I can't, I cannot ever have that kind of manipulation ever, what if that thing still stays inside me?" She expressed her fear.

"I get it," he said "rest assured, I will do what needs to done, let Huo reach the court, we will discuss this matter,"

"Better," she sighed. "Thank you," she thanked him for listening to her. At the same time the promise kept coming back to her head. Creating chaos in her head. The promise to join hands and work together. She did tempt her father and he agreed. But she wondered if she should do it and mean if she should ask General Hawk stop it. She was not sure. 'Whom should I work for?' She asked herself. 'Huo'er doesn't love me, he is moving further away from me every single say, Aqua hates me, Huo'er killed my mother, I only have Emporer Tai left, who will make me a crown princess which would only benefit me, but why do I hate him?' She talked to herself inside her head. 'Fuck this shit,' she cursed inside her head. She looked at General Hawk taking his leave. She could not ask him to cancel the plan either. 'But no, he did not even consider me as his daughter and planted the seed in me, he does not give a shit, don't bother,' she warned herself.
