THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Black-robed Man

How surprised Lili was to see the bloody scene in front of her. As if unable to believe what he saw, he rubbed his eyes with both hands. Then patting both of his cheeks, he hoped to wake up soon from his nightmare. But, he only realized that what he saw now was not a dream. Thousands of monsters of all sorts of shapes and apparently very bad ones, even worse than he had ever seen in the film, were all knee-jerk before the black-robed man standing on his back. He saw a wolf-headed monster with half its human body, dead covered in blood with a sword stuck in its chest, lying beside it. The sword that was stuck in the wolf-headed monster was the sword that the monster had previously used to kill him. "But how could the sword kill its own owner? No. gabe. This isn't a dream. It's real." Lili's inner as she glanced at the corpse of the wolf monster lying beside her.

His eyes immediately turned towards the black-robed man standing before him. He could not see the face of the person who had saved him. Only a black robe covered his entire body, except for his head which revealed his short black hair . Just carrying a silver-colored sword, the black-robed man walked alone towards the crowd of thousands of monsters still kneeling before him. He put the sword back on his side. He raised his right hand as if giving orders to the group of thousands of monsters to give way to someone who was about to pass by. In just a matter of seconds, the group of monstrous monsters immediately pulled over neatly, forming two rows, leaving one empty spot in the middle.

From a distance, three black-robed men covering their entire bodies walked down a path deliberately emptied by the thousands of monsters. Seeing the three black-robed mysterious people walking over, the crowd of thousands of monstrous monsters and the man in black who had helped him, all kneeled in reverence. Lili was astonished by their attitude. Given it, what kind of person they were to the point that everyone was kneeling to him. The three mysterious people stopped in front of the black-robed man who was kneeling to him. Shortly after, the black man stood up. One of the three black-robed men walked over to Lili. Seeing the black-robed person walking over to him, he retreated slowly with a position still sitting on the ground. Having no strength, he used both his hands and feet to drag his body backwards.

"Don't.don't come any closer!" lili shouted while dragging both her legs and hands to retreat backwards. Suddenly he felt his body unable to move. "What is this?! Why can't my body be moved?!" inner Lili.

The mysterious robed person sat down, his right hand holding Lili's chin and lifting her up. How shocked Lili was, when she saw the face behind the owner of the black robe. She faintly saw the beautiful young man staring at her questioningly. Highlight his sharp eyes, looking at him without blinking as if he was stripping himself. He saw a cold smile on his face.

"Two hundred years, I have been looking for you and waiting for you. Didn't expect to see you here, my Empress?" said the man while stroking Lili's lips with her right thumb.

The black robe that the man had worn to cover his entire body, was now open at the top due to the fierce gust of wind. Under the full moonlight, Lili could clearly see the face of the owner of the black robe. His face was very handsome with a sharp nose, small lips peach-colored, short black hair with a sharp eye view, really a perfect male figure in the eyes of Lili.

"He's very handsome" said Lili

"What did you say?!" asked the black-robed man in a slightly angry tone.

His two eyeballs that were previously black, suddenly turned a fiery red. Seeing the color of the man's eyes turning red, Lili threw out the man's right hand that was still holding his chin. Feeling that her lips were touched by the man's thumb, Lili was angry with him. Although he feels that he is now very scared, but he does not want to show his weakness in front of others. He tried to cover up the fear with a little anger.

"Sir, don't you know that touching a girl is impolite!" said Lili with a slightly pouting face.

"Is this how the empress behaved towards her king?!" the black-robed man sneered while grinning.

"Hahaha.I don't think, it's been years.you still hate me. You even said you didn't know me. My dear Empress, don't you know how hard the days are without you?!" asked the man while leaning his body forward.

Lili who felt the man's body getting closer to her, pushed the man's body backward with both hands. Seeing the man fall down due to his thrust, the two black-robed men behind him instantly helped to grab him to his feet.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" asked the two black-robed men simultaneously while helping to straighten his body to stand up. Lili, who was still sitting on the ground, saw the man being helped by two men in the same black robes as her. Only distinguishing, the robes worn by the three men had no motive. While the man used had an abstract motif with gold thread stitches.

"I'm fine." he replied as he gestured for the two of them to retreat backwards.

"What?! Her Majesty? Did I not hear wrong?! This man.maybe.." Inner Lili.

Both eyes stared hard at him. Lili could see flashes of fire in both eyes of the man. The color of the ball that was previously black, turned as red as blood. And inside was a huge anger. Ready to explode at any time. His cold smile, made the feathers of Lili's neck stand up. When compared to that bunch of thousands of creepy monsters, the black-robed man standing before him right now, was far more terrifying than that bunch of thousands of monsters. Just by looking at him alone, it had already made people die in an instant.

"Darkie's...Blackie, get the train ready for me. And you, Rean, command thousands of these monsters to guard this place. I don't want a mosquito to come in and bother me tonight!" the black-robed man commanded the three black-robed men who were behind him.

"Your Majesty!" answer the three of them simultaneously. After having received the order the three instantly disappeared without a trace. The black-robed man walked over to Lili. He held Lili with both hands. He wanted to rebel, but his body could not move.

"You!"

"My Empress, you must serve me tonight!"
