Chapter 178: Volca's choice

Volca marched back into the room. There was no one. She walked over to the wardrobe and found clothes to cover her naked self. She had the sword in her hands. She wanted to looked for Tai, her disgusting father. He was nowhere to be seen. She could not ask the guards either. 

She searched the whole of the Celestial Palace and even the pavilions. He was not there. Suddenly something grabbed him from the above. It lifted her. A giant bird. She struggled but also got scared affairs of falling down from a great height. Thus she remained still and calm. She identified it as the Phoenix. Tai's original form. He took her to a top of the mountain. It looked like a haunted placed. He threw her inside a cave and he landed on the ground coming back to his human form. He looked a little weak. 

"You are a fool," he scolded her. 

"You are a bastard," she said openly, without fear and spit on his face. "How dare you set up people to hurt me?" 

"Yes you proved yourself that you are a fool just like your mother, all about love and shit not realizing the truth about the cruel world. 

"But at the least we are not cruel like you," 

"Look who is talking about cruelty," he said and laughed out loud. "As if you have not attacked and killed people," listening to this, Volca went crazy.

"Shut the fuck up," she shouted. "Shut up, shut up, shut up," she screamed. 

"Babao, look at me," he said and pulled her closer, holding her chin. 

"Huo is really using you," he said. 

"Stop," she said back.

"He used you all these years, but what did you do?" He asked. "You still help him, you help him destroy the farm, do you think that he would feel soft for you and fall in love if you help him?" He smiled. "You are only helping him win, and live with Aqua, go see what he is doing with her right now, he will be making love, but you, you were getting punished," he added fire in her heart. "You either work for me, or die here today, I don't want a shameless daughter, go to where your mother is, help me kill Aqua, I will give him it you, or die," he said and let her go. He apparated and left knowing her decision.

Aqua wrapped the sheets around her and stepped out of the bed. She watched him sleep for sometime and then she sat on the window sill looking outside, watching the busy street bustling with demons. She smiled and sat there. 

Days passed, then months. Aqua would sit on the window sill every morning and watch the people. Huo would walk towards her, give her a tight back hug, plant a kiss on her head, have breakfast with her and leave to palace. 

Soon Aqua began to work as a dress maker. People stacked in front her shoo she rented every day. Aqua was always good at designing hence she decided to make a living out of it. She hid her identity well and lived among the demons as a Demon itself. Nobody found out anything. Huo would soktoems visit her shop during his free time in disguise and help her as he could. But since he knew nothing about it all he took care was making her eat on time, feeding her and kissing her in every opportunity he would manage to get. 

"Is he your husband? He is very affectionate, why don't shut down the shop for a day and spend time with him, my clothes can wait," a lady Demoness said to her.

"Tell her that aunty, educate her, am starving for her but she is married to her works not me," he complained. Aqua laughed out loud. 

"Fine we will go home early today? Okay?" He asked her. To him past one week felt ages. She has been busy with her work that she has not let him stay the nights, pulling an all nighter to deliver the clothes on time. People adored her and paid more than she set the rate. She was making good profits. More importantly she was happy. There were no duties, no hardships, no need to be alert all the time, no enemies, no formalities to follow, no rules, and nobody to control her or watch her. Water King did send the spies to watch on her and save her whenever she is in trouble, but she wa shapoy and there were no troubles around her in Demon Realm under King Huo who looked after her like a precious treasure, like his own life protecting her his own way with his team. 

"Come, let's go," Aqua said closing down the shop. Huo got up and held her hands, walking around the street having dinner with her, having few drinks and living a normal life outside palace like regular civilians, so in love. He never showed his worry outside, about her opinion on moving in with him, about the opinion of becoming his queen, becoming the mother of his children. He was afraid to ask her since she had requested him to let her free for some time. So he wanted her to be free as she wants to before she also arrives at a decision. 

"Wow this rice wine is too strong," she said feeling little drunk. 

"That's enough," he said and took the shot glass from her hand and kept the wine far away from her reach. "Let get back to out inn." He helped her stand up, and then he knelt down asking her to get on his back. He carried her and give her a piggy back ride. He could sense his heart pounding in the same rhythm as hers. He felt hot and ticklish as her breath touched his hers and her lip brushed along. He exhaled. "Aqua, are you doing that purposefully?" He asked her. 

"Doing what?" She asked back.

"Nothing," he said. It is then she really played with him. She bit his year a little and ran her hand into his cloak. 

"Ohoo," he said. "Now I know," he instead of walking, immediately apparated right into their inn. He closed the door behind his and settled her down in the bed. But she sat up. She removed her ornaments, her cloak, her gown, her lingerie and she sat naked in front of him. He looked all over her for some moment, like it's his first time. "When do you wish to start a family of our own with me?" He asked her in a husky voice. She smiled and pulled him closer. She leaned his head against hers. She asked. "When do you wish to?"

"Its my thought in every second of my life," he confessed.

"Then try me," she whispered and bit his lips. 

"A prince or a princess?" He aksed her.

"Both," she replied, smiling as she kissed him. 

"I am on it," he said but she grabbed and pressed him, teasing him. "Its not in my control, he said and leaned on top if her, laying her back on the bed. He kissed her, and began playing with her, making love tenderly, and with full of jus love for her. The moonlight shined bright outside. Couple of hiurs6later after all the sex, they laid in each others arms wrapped up, looking at the ceiling. 

"Marry me," he proposed the way he thought he is best. He looked at her. "Marry me, I cannot live a minute without you, please marry me," 

She smiled and hugged him. She gave a quick kiss and said, "yes," 

At the same time, some one barged into the room, breaking the door. 

"We need you, help us," the intruder said. It was a female voice. She then took the veil off her head and there stood Aqua's sister, Milan, alone, pleading to her sister. 

"Milan," she sat up, covering herself in the quilt. "What are you doing here at this late hour?" 

"Help me, help us, we have to defeat them,"

She went on. 

"Who?" Aqua got serious and stood up from the bed. Huo along with her. 

"Tai," Milan said the name. 

"What did he do?" Aqua enquired. 

"He is no longer an angel, his heart has changed, he accepted the demonic way and is sitting in the heavenly throne," Aqua grew furious. She then realized. "Why should I help after I got kicked out?' 

"You misunderstood our intentions Aqua," Milan walked towards her. 

"Come on, let's kill Volca and Tai, Volca is growing into great power," Milan went on. Aqua noticed that her sister is not wearing the crown. She looked closely. "Don't you think they all wronged you? Don't you want to kill them?" Aqua chuckled. 

"Killing then will not be enough for me You know that," Aqua said looking in to her eyes. "I want to rip his head off his body, and also hers, slash her throat and watch while she begs for her life,' Aqua said. She said and withdrew Huo'er's soul sword from the near by table and stabbed right in her abdomen. Blood oozed out from the woukd and her nose and mouth. 

"Aqua," Huo shouted.

"Sis," Milan said and fell down on the floor.
