One hundred years later
On top of the ice stone, Lili sat cross-legged while closing her eyes. For a hundred years he was cultivating closed in an ice-cold cave. Named ice cold cave because the ice contained in this cave is eternal, can not melt. Both of Lili's eyes that were still closed slowly opened. He felt his entire body feel light, although his spiritual strength was still weakening. He sighed and looked at his right palm.
"No matter how many hundred years, I cultivate. My strength is still weakening. Is it because this person who sealed my power, has yet to unleash his sealing spell?!" muttered Lili.
He got up from his seat and walked out to the mouth of the cave. Like the first time he entered the mouth of this cave, there was an invisible protector. However, he managed to break it out without having to damage the cave mouthguard. He saw the scorching sun and the chirping of the birds perched on the branches of the tree. He glanced at one of the large trees above which perched two pairs of pigeons that were combining love. Lili smiled and turned her gaze while walking through the forest to return to her palace. After an hour of walking through the forest, his footsteps suddenly stopped. How surprised Lili was as she looked ahead. He saw thousands of wild beasts and Hana who was standing waiting for his return. Whether he should be angry or moved, the expression on his face was very colorful looking at the scene that was before him right now. He never thought someone would welcome his return.
"You guys?! What are you all doing here?!" lili asked with a puzzled facial expression.
"Of course we are here waiting for your return Queen" replied Hana with a smiling face and followed by the smiles of thousands of wild beasts, her best friend.
Everyone saluted Lili. Hearing and seeing the expressions on their faces all, made Lili feel moved. For this time, he could feel the warmth of a family that had long since disappeared. The loneliness that plagued him as he practiced closed cultivation for a hundred years, made him become increasingly accustomed to the name of loneliness. However, basically, there was no one in this world who wanted himself to live in the shackles of loneliness.
"thank you. Thank you, you've been faithfully waiting for my return."
"Together the queen."
"Let's go home" Lili said with a trembling tone of voice.
"Yes." said Hana.
Lilie smiled too. They all walked together, leaving the place. And they all walked together towards the queen's palace, laughing.
"Thank God. You gave me a place and a friend who was always loyal to me. No matter what path I choose, I will still be myself. I. I will not let others destroy my happiness this time." - Lili.
Three months have passed, a rumor has been circulating among the public. There was a woman with a demonic creature accompanying her was abducting an orphaned boy in their town. And until now, there was no word from the little boy. The rumor grew bigger, until it spread out of the country. Until the rumor had been in by a king from another country. Surprisingly, this king was very interested in rumors that circulated widely and developed until now. He ordered one of his secret guards, to find out about this demonic woman.
"Have you heard the rumors circulating in the community?!" ask a man who is standing facing the window in his fancy black robe with an abstract stitching motif on his black robe.
"Yes Your Majesty. I heard it." replied a male bodyguard wearing a mask and dressed in all black with a black face mask covering his nose and mouth.
"Immediately find out who the woman with the demon creature is. If you find him, tell me!"
"Your Majesty."
After saying that, the personal bodyguard immediately parted and left the place. He darted like a black shadow.
...****************...
On the other hand, Lili's father-in-law and the king were lying weakly helplessly on his bed. He ordered a shadow bodyguard to call crown prince Feng, facing him. Shortly after, crown prince Feng came before him while saluting him.
"Hail father." said crown prince Feng while lowering his body slightly.
"Wake up." said the king, gesturing his hand.
"What did my father call me to come here?!"
"Have you heard the rumors that have been circulating in the community?! Uhuk..."
"Yes. I've heard it, fatherhand."
"Have you found that guy?!"
"Not ayahhanda. But, father need not worry. I'll sort this out soon."
"Humphs. I hope so. Feng, there is something I want to talk to you about, regardless of the rumors circulating."
"I'd like to see you at your coronation, you've found your future wife!"
Jedeerrrrrr (sound of lightning striking in the sky.)
How shocked was crown prince Feng to hear the words of his father who asked him to immediately find a successor to his wife.
"Ayahanda, does it matter?!" asked crown prince Feng in a doubtful tone.
"of course. The future king who will soon be crowned to become king, must have an empress to accompany him. After all, the whereabouts of your ex-wife was unknown until now. So why do you still insist on looking for her until now?!"
"Because she is my queen, forever. She's the only one qualified to be my empress. Who stood by me my whole life, forever."
"Hahaha, you're too naive of my son."
"What do you mean father?!"
"What if she finds out, that the one who sealed her powers is her own husband? Do you think he'll come back by your side?!" asked the king with a smirking expression.
Hearing fatherhand say that, crown prince Feng clenched both his hands. It was obvious that he was holding back his anger.
"Feng, I'll ask you. Did you really seal his power?!"
"of course. Are you doubting me?!"
"No. I just feel like the woman who is with this demonic creature. Maybe I think too much. There's no way that's him!"
"But what if it's true he's father?! What are you gonna do?!"
"Kill him!"
Jedeerr!!! (Sound of thunder in the sky.)
"What?! Man, are you serious about what you've said?!"
"of course. Don't I look serious?!"
"Yahanda be aware of your actions. You asked me to seal his powers, I've already carried out your orders. But, if it kills him..."
"Why? Are you now a sentimental man?! Suck just for love?! Do you want to be like your stepbrother, for love he is willing to leave everything behind. And until now his whereabouts are unknown?! Do you want to follow in his footsteps?! Uhuk... uhuk... uhuk.." snapped the king while coughing.
"Excuse ananda, father. But, Ananda felt that the actions of your father had crossed the line. What incident about the death of his entire family is your doing?!" crown Prince Feng asked with a serious facial expression.
"You think?!"
"Yahanda you..."
Crown Prince Feng did not continue his words. He was devastated and disappointed by his father's behavior. He doesn't know what else to say. The sense of disappointment is so very big to the figure of the man who has been his role model.
"Why? Are you disappointed in me now?! Feng, I don't care if you're disappointed with me or not. I'm doing this for the sake of our kingdom, especially our family's life. You should know that! Do yourjob! I want to see on the day of your coronation, you should already have a future empress. Don't disappoint me! Go!" bright king while gesturing waved his hand.
Crown Prince Feng saluted and left. As he closed the door of his father's room, there was a huge feeling of disappointment in his heart. During this time, he became a very obedient child to both parents. He always loved his father. And the only figure of a father as well as a man that he idolized as a child. But who would have thought, if his father had hurt him. Makes him feel a huge disappointment. Crown Prince Feng clenched both his hands and left the place with a feeling of anger and disappointment in him.
"Yahanda, I'm so disappointed in you!" inner Feng.
