THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Positive Thinking

A little while later, Lili arrived at the door of her room. He was silent for a moment when he saw the door of his room. He felt doubt in his heart. Should he stay here or should he leave? Thousands of questions clashed in his mind. For a moment he immediately breathed. Carefully, he opened the door of his room.

Kreekkk (The sound of the room door has been opened.)

As Lili opened her bedroom door, she saw Feng standing facing her bedroom window. Lili immediately entered and closed the door of her room. I also forgot he locked it. After locking the door of her room, Lili turned her body and walked towards her dressing table. After arriving in front of her dressing table, Lili saw her reflection inside the mirror. He saw his whole body and clothes dirty, because he had to clean up the mess he made as a result of eavesdropping on the conversation of his husband and father-in-law. Silence began to envelop the atmosphere inside the room. Suddenly, Feng first started to open his voice.

"You're back?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Feng glanced and saw Lili was carrying clothes in her hands. A moment later he turned his gaze back towards the window of his room.

"What do you have in your hand?!"

"clothing."

"Where are you going?!"

"Mandy."

Since there was already nothing they were talking about anymore, Lili immediately turned around and walked towards the bathroom. Hearing the sound of Lili's footsteps moving away, Feng glanced at her. He saw Lili go into the bathroom.

"Huffs. I should have asked him. Did he overhear my conversation with father or not?!" muttered Feng.

One Hour Later

Lilies who had finished bathing, immediately left the pool. Then he walked into the sketch (room divider). He immediately changed his clothes. Shortly after, Lili finished changing her clothes and walked out to her bed. He saw no Feng in there. Without a second thought, Lili walked leisurely towards her bed.

"Lily."

His footsteps suddenly came to a halt hearing Feng call his name. He immediately looked back. Looking at him, Feng looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"Feng? What's up?!"

"I want to ask you something. And I hope you answer it honestly."

"certain. Please. As long as I know, I'll answer as I can."

"You sure you're just passing through there?!" asked Feng in an intimidating tone.

"Yes." replied Lili with a calm face.

"Then why did you fall and the pot broke?!"

"My foot slipped."

"Lili don't try to lie to me. You know the consequences if you dare to lie to me?!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I will soon be crowned king. So I ask you to keep your attitude now. Because in a minute, you'll be queen. Try to be a good queen." said Feng as he left Lili.

"Your Majesty, where are you going? Aren't you sleeping here?!"

Flashbacks

"Lili, be careful with Feng."

"Why? Isn't she your own sister?"

"Sister? He and I are just half-brothers."

"Why are you asking me to be careful with him?!"

"You'll find out for yourself."

"Huh, you must be jealous right? Aye right?!"

"Even if I'm jealous, does that change your heart? Can that change my father's decision?!"

"What do you mean, Sirzechs?!"

"Lili, you should have understood the meaning of my words. You insist on not canceling your marriage with her. If at that time, you want to cancel your marriage with her.Maybe the groom is me. Not him."

"Sirzechs, even if I cancel my marriage with your sister, will that change your father's decision?! The king's decision was absolute. Can't be changed. If you oppose him, it is the same as taking your life to him." Lili explained to Prince Sirzechs who was still looking at him with a very sharp eye.

"I don't care about my life. As long as I can live side by side with you. Lili, I will always protect you, keep you from people who want to hurt you. Because I. love you."

Hearing Sirzechs speak his heart, Lili's face turned red. The embarrassed hue on his face, made Prince Sirzechs even more fond of him. She looked like an innocent girl with a shy expression in her eyes.

"Sirzechs. Stop kidding. Such a thing should not be heard by outsiders" Lili said in an anxious tone.

"I'm not kidding. Ilove you. I love you so much. Do you love me too, Lili?!" prince Sirzechs asked as he clasped Lili's hands tightly.

Lili looked at her tight grip and felt warm. Lili no longer knew what to do to the man in front of her now. He always thought that man was his friend. First mate. But who would have thought, the man he considered to be his close friend had romantic feelings for him. Lily was very confused. He is in a very difficult position. On the other hand he had to obey the king's orders, on the other hand he had to answer to his close friend about his feelings for him.

"Lily, Lilies?!"

"I'm sorry Sirzechs. I just think of you as my friend. My closest friend is no more." replied Lili in a soft tone while letting go of Sirzechs' hand.

Prince Sirzechs who heard Lili's reply, could only bow in lethargy. He tried to calm himself from feeling disappointed in Lili's answer. Lili feels guilty to Prince Sirzechs. He knew that the current prince of Sirzechs was very disappointed with him after hearing the answer from him. Prince Sirzechs raised his head and looked at Lili. She smiled in front of Lili. Hiding his profound sadness.

"Sirzechs, are you mad at me? Disappointed with me?!"

"No. I am not angry, let alone disappointed in you. I just feel jealous of my step-sister. I'm not as lucky as him. Which didn't take long to get you. The woman I love." said Prince Sirzechs with a sad look on his face.

"Sirzechs, i..."

"Lili, until whenever. No matter what happens to me, I still love you. No matter how much time I spend, I will still love you. Now and forever."

...****************...

Recalling the declaration of love spoken by Prince Sirzechs to him, made Lili's heart ache. He lost one of his close friends just out of love. And now, just because of a love and hate that went hand in hand with the time he passed with crown prince Feng (his husband), made Lili even more hurt. The man who took her virginity. The man who gives her an imagination of marriage accompanied by a sincere feeling of love, which leads to a betrayal. Lili realized that what she was going through with her husband, was just an empty imagination. However, she tried to trust her husband again. Until he believed himself with solid evidence, that crown prince Feng was really the one who had sealed his power or not. Without solid evidence, his words would only be a joke within the palace. And worse, he will drag his whole family and end up in death.

"Huffs. I'm trying to trust you once more, until I get hard evidence of you sealing my powers. I hope that until then, you are not the one who hurt me, my husband... Feng." said Lili as she filled with tears.
