THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Return of Old Enemies (1)

"You...why are you alive?!" the woman shouted while pointing towards Lili.

How shocked Lili saw herself being yelled at and pointed at by a woman she did not know. Looking at Lili with a face full of confusion, Darkie turned her gaze towards Mr. Edward and began to open her voice.

"Miss Alice, what do you mean talk like that?!" darkie asked as she stared intently at Alice.

"Mr Darkie, I think you should know better than me. Didn't two hundred years ago women***** this was long dead. Why is he still alive?!" alice replied with a cynical face.

"Who do you mean Miss Alice?!" ask Darkie

"Alice, stop your bullshit! edward's Banging

"What?! You said I was bullshit! You obviously also know the woman***** this died two hundred years ago!"

"Mr Edward, what does Miss Alice mean?!" asked Darkie in a stern tone

"I'm sorry for our discourtesy Mr. Darkie. Alice apologize to Mr. Darkie and his guests." Edward asked

"I'm sorry you said?! Did I say something wrong?! Obviously the woman****** this is dead, why is she...."

"Enough!" shouted Edward

"You!"

"Mr Darkie once again pardon our actions". As a sign of our apology, are you willing to attend the dinner tonight?" pinta Edward to Darkie

"no need. I came here only to bring Your Majesty's guests to study magic at this school. Have you received the word from His Majesty?"

"Already Sir. I-i understand. Come please follow me. I'll take you as Your Majesty says."

"good. Don't waste time. Come quickly between us!"

"Good Sir. Let's please!"

Everything followed Edward in the back. The building is very tall and strong. With a classic but elegant architectural style. Very calm yet harboring a mysterious mystical aura. They walked up a long ladder. Looking at the long, winding staircase, Lili could only sigh. He could not imagine if every day had to go up and down long stairs and meandering like vines circling a big tree. Who would have thought that in just a few steps they had reached the top. Lili felt confused, since when he and the others were above.

"When have we been up there? Aren't we still walking up a long, winding staircase?" ask Lili

"Miss Lili, this is some kind of magic we instilled in this school and dormitory. This magic prevents intruders from entering this place. You can see the stairs we climbed up long and winding. Actually the stairs are not long and weaved as you just saw." replied Edward with a smile.

"Oh so. It only reacts to outsiders, not to the students here?"

"It's true."

"This school looks calm and comfortable, unlike the bloody castle. But who would have thought, there were many traps everywhere. Well, as the saying goes "Don't look at a book from its cover".Inner Lili

"We've arrived" said Edward

They stopped in front of the door of the white room with carvings of vines around x. Lili looked at the door of the room. It looks like the vines carving is very beautiful like the original. In his heart he said, "It was really amazing the person who designed this door. Looks like the real thing. He's not a random person." Suddenly, Lili's eyes turned. He did not believe what he saw. The vines suddenly turned lively and crept around the door. He was shocked and shouted to the surprise of the people around him.

"That's.that door.no...ta..the plant is alive." replied Lili stammered while pointing towards the door that was in front of her.

"Living?!" ask Sunny

Sunny and Moonly looked at each other. Both of them looked at the door. He saw that the door did not happen.

"Miss, you're probably hallucinating. That door didn't happen." comfort Moonly.

"No! I'm not hallucinating. I clearly saw it. The carving is really alive!" shouted Lili

Darkie also noticed the carving of the door. He scrunched his forehead. He looked towards Edward.

"Mr Edward, may I ask you something?" darkie asked with a serious face

"Sure, Mr. Darkie."

"Why did you choose this room for our lady? Are you trying to break our Master's orders?!"

"I don't dare Mr. Darkie. I'm running as your Master ordered."

"All right, I trust you."

"Thank you" replied Edward

Edward pulled the key out of his pants pocket. He walked over and gave the key to Lili.

"Miss Lili, this is your room key" Edward said, handing the key to Lili. Lili looked at the key in Edward's right hand and turned to look at Edward. Feeling himself being stared at by Lili with a gaze as if intimidating her, Edward replied with a smile.

"Miss Lili, trust me. This room is the same as the rest."

"Then why do I have to stay here? Why don't I stay in the dorm like the other students?!"

"Humph, you should be grateful that someone asked us to prepare the best room in the school!" alice's lips to Lili with a mocking smile

"Alice! Watch how you talk!" edward's Banging

"Oh!" alice Sawh

"someone? Who's she?" asked Lili with a curious face

"Miss Lili, you'd better take this key and open it immediately. Do you want to see us all standing in front of this door all day?!" darkie said as she took the key in Edward's hand and reached out Lili's right hand while handing the key to him.

Lili is forced to accept the key Darkie gave her hand. Reluctantly, he walked forward towards the door. He inserted the key he had been pressing into the door hole. The sound of a key opened the door. Lili held onto the doorknob and slowly opened it. The moment the door opened, a gust of fierce cold wind blew towards them and waved their hair and robes into the air. The curtains made of shimmering blue beads were blown off the wind and collided with each other, producing a clattering sound around them. Inside the beaded curtains there is a large mattress with white and light blue mosquito net curtains that open, showing pillows and bolsters and blankets neatly arranged. Next to the window of the room, there was a light blue thin fabric curtain that was blown by the wind and expanded in the air elegantly. The atmosphere in this room is nuanced blue sky calm and elegant. Lili walked inside, touching one of the blue beaded curtains. He noticed every detail of the bead carving. Then he looked back.

"This room, for me?"
