THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Love vs Betrayal (4)

"Gee!" shouted Lili who woke up from her bed.

"Your Majesty."

"Hana? What exactly happened?!"

"Your Majesty, you've been sleeping all day. I'm afraid something will happen to you, because you won't wake up." said Hana, who was sitting next to him.

"Sleep? All day?"

"Yes His Majesty. When you arrive at the palace, you head straight to your room to sleep. You told me not to disturb your sleep. But you haven't been up all day. So, I went into your room to check on you and take care of you, Your Majesty. Turns out you're still asleep. I'm sorry Your Majesty. I have been acting presumptuous." Hana explained as she moved from her seat and bowed slightly.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. Sit down!" lili's orders.

Hannah sat down after hearing Lili's orders.

"I'm just dreaming about the past."

"Dreams?"

"Yes. It's about time I'll go to see an old friend."

"Old friend? Is that prince Sirzechs, Your Majesty?!"

"Not."

"Then who?!"

"Old friends in another world. Hana, sorry to trouble you in the next few days. Please take care of this place. Lest any intruders come in and mess up our palace."

"Your Majesty."

"Tomorrow in the morning, please help me prepare everything. Because I'm going on a teleportation trip tomorrow morning."

"What?! Your Majesty, your strength is currently weakening. Using a teleportation spell required an enormous amount of magic power. And it will only weaken you." worried Hana.

"Hana, I'm fine. I just need a few days' rest to recover my strength."

"But Your Majesty..."

"Ssttt.thank you for worrying about me. Now you go get some rest. Thank you for taking care of me."

"Together Your Majesty. Then, I say retreat first." said Hana as she got up from her seat and bowed a little, to pay respect to Lili.

Lili replied with a slow nod. Hana immediately left Lili's room and did not forget to close it again.

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

The next day, Lili walked outside the palace accompanied by Hana. They walked towards the vast palace garden. Lili beckoned Hana to stop, while she continued to step up and stop right in the middle of the palace garden filled with fresh green grass. In every corner of the palace garden there are many flowers of various colors and types. Who would have thought if in the famous mysterious forest, it takes a lot of casualties, in it there is an extraordinary beauty, which is difficult to describe by words. Lili closed her eyes with her two hands meeting together, while chanting a teleportation spell. The wind gusts formed a circle, coming out from around the area where Lili was standing.

Blarr!!!

The sound of a bright light that dazzled the eyes came out from within Lili's body, making Hana close both her eyes. Soon, the atmosphere became quiet. Slowly, Hannah opened her eyes. He saw no one there. Even Lilie is missing. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huff, thank goodness. His Majesty has successfully teleported. But what about his condition now? Is she okay? My God, please protect the Queen." hope Hana.

Lili's teleportation has been successful and brought her to a modern age. Where is that place that became his temporary residence, or rather a temporary escape for him. He had arrived at a place that was no stranger to him. A place where it looks calm, there is no war. He stood right in front of the villa door which was not large, but looked simple and clean.

"It hasn't changed at all" Lili murmured.

Suddenly, someone opened the door from inside.

Krek!!!

He saw Elsa coming out of the villa and how surprised he was when he saw a woman standing right in front of his villa smiling. That woman was very familiar to him. His lips were unable to speak. Suddenly from behind Elsa, a handsome young man came out wearing a white shirt with light blue jeans.

"Why are you still standing here?!" ask the man to Elsa.

But Elsa did not flinch. His eyes were fixed on Lili who was still standing looking at him with a sweet smile on her face. The man followed the direction of Elsa's gaze and both eyes widened. As if he could not believe what he saw.

"Lily?" said the man.

Suddenly Elsa ran towards Lili and hugged her while crying.

"Lili... Where have you been? My sister and I have been looking for you for the past five years, but we can't find you. huuuhuuuuu.." sobs Elsa while hugging Lili.

"I'm..."

Suddenly from behind, the man gently patted Elsa's shoulder. Elsa let go of his embrace while slowly stopping crying. He cried because the person he had been looking for with his brother, finally reappeared after five years.

"Let's talk inside." take the man to Lili and Elsa.

"Sir Vincent." said Lili.

"Lili, where have you been for five years? Do you know how hard it was for the two of us to find you for five years?! Don't you know what we're worried about you for?!" ask Vincent in a annoyed tone.

"Sister, please hold your anger. Let Lili explain it first." Elsa said.

"I'm sorry, Brother Vincent and you, Elsa."

"It's okay, Lilie. I'm so glad to see you back. So is my brother, right, sister?!" elsa asked as she glanced towards her brother.

Vincent, who saw his brother's behavior, could only turn his eyes in the other direction. Soon his gaze was turned to Lili who was still staring at him.

"Why are you staring at me?!"

"You're still the same as you used to be."

"What do you mean?"

"Cold and handsome." seduced Lili with a mischievous smile towards him.

"You!" said Vincent with a red face.

"Sir Vincent, Elsa. I left not saying goodbye to you, so that made you two worry about me."

"It's okay. Tell me what really happened? Why did you suddenly just disappear?!"

"Before I tell you, I would like to thank you both for taking care of and accepting me as part of your family. Especially you, Brother Vincent. If it wasn't for the goodness of your heart..."

"Not to be discussed any more about that kind of thing. It's been a part of the past."

"Indeed right. That's the past. But, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you. So, take my gratitude to you both."

"Lili, you don't have to do that. We consider you to be part of our family. Even though it was then, I love you little. Don't know shit. All I know is, my brother did a favor, which was to help a girl who was seriously injured and that's you."

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

"Together."

"Lili, what's really going on? Why did you suddenly disappear? Would you please answer my question honestly?!" asked Vincent with a serious expression on his face.

"Sister Vincent, you definitely won't forget our first meeting, will you?"

"of course. I'll never forget it. At that time, I found you unconscious by the lake with wounds all over your body. And I brought you here, into the vayak. I asked Elsa to call my personal doctor to check on you. And at that time, the doctor said you were bleeding and bleeding a lot. At that time I didn't know what happened to you. You've lost your memory." explained Vincent.

"You're right. I was bleeding and losing my memory. In fact, I, myself, had no idea what had happened to me back then."

"So, did you bleed when my brother helped you? That means you've been pregnant?"

"Yes Elsa. I was pregnant and had a miscarriage."

"What?! How come? Why did that happen?! Who would want to impregnate you and not be responsible?! Say it! I'll make him unable to get offspring!" elsa said in a tone full of anger.

"That's not what you think. I have a husband. And he's a crown prince."

"What??!" chanted Vincent and Elsa with shocked faces at the same time.

Lili looked at the two who were also staring at her with a serious expression on their faces. It was as if the two were waiting for an answer from Lili. Lili also sighed. He begins to tell the story of the beginning of his encounter with Vincent and Elsa in modern times, when he was on the run.

"At that time, I didn't know I was pregnant. I had a great fight with my ex-husband, so without me noticing, I was bleeding quite seriously."

"Former husband?!" elsa asked with a curious face.

"I decided to ask her for a divorce. However, he refused. Until I decided to leave him. And by then, I was pregnant with her son."

"That means you're still his wife even if you leave."

"Yes. Thas right. I left him because he had been lying to me all this time."

"Is he cheating on you with another woman?! Does she have a lot of concubines?!"

"Elsa, watch your talk!"

"Sorry brother."

"It's okay, brother Vincent. I left because his father had killed my whole family. Not only that, I also killed his father, who was a king at that time, in order to take revenge for the death of my family! Therefore, I fought with him!"

"What?!" chanted Vincent and Elsa simultaneously with a look of shock on her face. It was as if the two of them did not believe this.

The quiet woman with a cheerful smile on her face, who was sitting between the two of them, killed a king. The father of her husband who was at once her father-in-law, just for revenge.
