THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
There's No Reason

"What's wrong, Buto? Just saying?!"

"Your Majesty, are you sure about this? Remembering Miss Lili's face..."

"similar to him? I know what you're worried about. Just obey my orders!"

"good. Your Majesty, forgive the servant who is too presumptuous to say this" said Buto while saluting by bowing his body slightly forward.

"Forget over. You can all go!"

"Thank you Your Majesty" they said simultaneously while saluting.

The three of them flicked their robes and disappeared simultaneously. Evil was alone in the dark room. He breathed while looking up.

"Until when do you drive me crazy, my Empress?" lirih Evil's

Morning in the Bloody Castle

The sun was shining brightly, its warm light entering through the window of Lili's room. The breeze blew away the white curtains that were on the side of the window. Two pigeons in pairs whistled and occasionally joked in the tree. The sound of Lili's bedroom door being knocked by someone three times. Lili who was applying herself in front of the mirror, stopped immediately. He put his comb on the table after combing his hair. His long black straight hair was left unraveled just like that. She was wearing a white thigh-length dress with the sides and back of the dress shaped like a fish tail. This dress has a slightly open cleavage model. This dress showed not only her chest but also her smooth white thighs. He walked to the door and opened it. Peaches was standing in front of his door. Seeing Lili open the door, Peaches eyes turned as if she could not believe what she was seeing. Seeing the dreamy Peaches staring at him, Lili waved her right hand towards Peaches face. As if there was no reaction, Lili patted Peaches gently on the shoulder. Peaches regained consciousness from his daydream and apologized to Lili.

"You're forgetful. What's up?"

"Miss, are you well?"

"As you can see. Why?"

"Hamba is here to deliver a message from His Majesty. His Majesty asked the lady to come have breakfast with him. But, if the lady is not feeling well, the lady should rest in the room. Let Peaches deliver your breakfast. If miss needs anything, you can call me."

"thank you. Please take me to your king!"

"good. Please follow my lady."

"This lady is like a betel in two with the queen.it is very similar." Inner Peaches while glancing towards Lili.

"What's wrong?

"There's nothing, miss. Only, today miss is very beautiful. That dress fits the lady perfectly."

"Beautiful? What are you blind? This dress makes me look like a bad woman. Your king it really makes me sick!" inner Lili while clenching her right hand.

"Thank you for your praise" Lili said with a smile

"Together, miss."

Lili followed Peach's steps leading her to the dining room. Shortly after, they arrived at the dining room. Surprisingly, no one was in the dining room. There was only so much good food on the table. Lili's eyes began to wander throughout the room. But there was no trace of anyone's presence.

"Persik, you said your king wanted me to have breakfast with him. But, why isn't anyone here?!"

"Sorry miss, I don't know."

"Yes already. You can go."

"Thank you, miss."

Peaches resigned and stepped away leaving Lili alone in the dining room. Lily walked towards the dining table. He pulled one of the chairs back and sat on it. In front of him there are many delicious food and drink dishes. There are sweet sour squid, roasted chicken, crab oyster sauce as well as a variety of vegetable, fruit dishes etc.

"Is this really all edible?! This isn't my imagination, is it? But why isn't anyone here?" muttered Lili while looking right and left.

"Yes, I tried first" said Lili as she opened the plate and took the fork and spoon that had been provided in front of her.

"Uhuk, Your Highness.ehm I mean Evil. Isn't your chair right there." said Lili, pointing to the one at the far right.

"I am the king. I'm free to sit anywhere." said Evil, winking his right eye.

"Yes yes I forgot. You're the king." - ridiculed Lili

Hearing Lili ridicule him, Evil only returned with a smile. Suddenly Evil glanced at Lili's plate. The piece of roasted beef he gave him, was not touched at all.

"Why not eat? Doesn't it taste good?"

"Not."

"Then?"

"Sorry, I don't like beef, goat, buffalo."

"If it's crocodile meat?!"

"You?! If that's your culture, maybe I can consider it."

"considered? Meanin? You want to eat my meat if I'm a crocodile?"

"Who wants to eat your flesh even if you're a crocodile, what monkey."

"Then?!"

"I'll skin your body and I'll sell it. Hehe..."

"You're a cruel woman. But I like it."

"What did you say?!"

"Oh yeah, you said you didn't like meat. Why?!"

"Don't like it don't like it."

"If you don't like it, there's a reason why you don't like it."

"What you said is true. Unfortunately, I have no reason why I don't like to eat meat. It's the same when you like someone. Do you also need a reason why you like it?"

Hearing Lili's words, Evil fell silent. It was as if the memories in his brain were replaying the memories in his past. Memories of when he had a big fight with the empress, his wife.

"I beg you to stop. Come back to me." said Evil while holding a silver sword in his right hand. Blood flowed on the sidelines of his hands and soaked his sword blade.

"Stop?! Hmph, stay away from me!"

"You can hate me, but don't hurt those who have nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me? Hating you?! Hmph, I think you misjudged me. I am a cruel woman. The whole world knows who I am. Then why did you choose me? Asking me back to you?!

"Because I love you."

"Love?! HAHAAHA!!! How foolish I am to believe in love. Obviously I know that you never loved me. You're just like those who want my death!"

"I'm not the same as them. I don't know why I love you. All I know is, I just want to age with you."

"And I also don't know why I can't hate you and don't want to be with you! There's no reason for that!"
