THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
200 Years (Mysterious Power)

"Sister, why is he silent? Even glaring at me?!"

Frightened, Lexi pulled out her hand that was still holding the banknotes from her brother. Lili immediately snatched the paper money that was still in her sister's hands.

"See this!"

Lili gave the paper money to the beggar and said, "Sir, this is our alms. Please accept yes.'

Hearing that, the beggar accepted the money while looking at Lili and replied with a nod of his head. Seeing that, Lili smiled and took her sister's hand to leave the place immediately.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Let's go home late in the afternoon, it's gonna be late."

Both of them left the beggar. Their shadows disappeared from the distance. The beggar looked at the paper money Lili had given him. Suddenly the banknote turned into a medicine bag. The bag is made of purple fabric with a lily flower motif. The smell of medicinal herbs smelled from outside the pouch. The beggar opened it and looked at the contents. And sure enough, the contents were some medicinal pills. And that medicinal pill was what he had been looking for all this time. The beggar smiled, then moved from his seat. He opened his cape. A handsome white face, a pointed nose, a sharp look in the eyes, a natural red little lips, were very clear as he opened the cape that covered it.

"Interesting!"

Then the beggar disappeared.

While elsewhere, Lili was pondering about the current events in the market. He wondered what kind of creature he had seen. And how such a creature could give off an aura of hatred. Out of curiosity, he decided to ask his father. Then he descended from the floor of his upper room towards the living room. His father was sitting and reading a book. Lili was sitting on the sofa facing her father.

"What's wrong? You don't usually sit here."

"Dad, I want to ask you something."

"Say."

"Dad, have you ever seen an aura of hatred in a certain place or in a certain being?"

"Why are you asking like that?"

"When I drove Lexi to the market, everything felt fine. There's nothing strange. But, just as Lexi was about to cross over, I accidentally saw a vortex of hateful aura coming towards Lexi."

Hearing his daughter tell him about the incident, his father then put a book next to him that he had read. He looked at the girl in front of him now.

"Then, what happened?"

"Those whirls of hateful aura then simply vanished as I hugged Lexi. Not only that, after I hugged Lexi, I saw that there were thousands of people staring at me blankly. Not only that, they were shrouded in an aura of hatred within his body. Dad, don't you think this is a strange thing?"

"Thank God you're both fine."

"Eh? Dad why would you say such a thing? Should you answer my question?"

"Lili, you know for yourself. In this country, such things are forbidden to study them. There is and you're talking about it. You know what the consequences are, right?"

"But, father..."

"Enough! It's late at night, you go to bed. Don't you have exams at school tomorrow?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Go to bed soon."

"Dad, can I not just go to school?"

"Why?"

"I'm not comfortable going to school."

"..."

"Lili, everyone has different talents, abilities, hearts and minds."

"As for example, me and my sister?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Everyone knows, my sister was very smart at a young age. And you know it. Not only you, but also your mother. Then what about me? Everyone compares me to my sister. Don't you know how I feel, Dad?"

"So just because they're all comparing you to your sister, then you don't want to go to school."

"I don't want to go to school. I'm just not comfortable going to school."

"Lili, don't listen to anyone else. Be yourself."

"Mother?! Since when are you here?"

His mother walked up to his father and sat down next to him.

"Since you said you didn't want to go to school."

"..."

"It's late. You go to bed. Don't think the no-no. Have a good sleep. Remove the burden that's on your mind."

"good. I'll go first, mommy's dad, good night."

"Good night" said father and mother simultaneously.

Lili climbed the stairs one by one to her room. Seeing the shadow of Lili's back had disappeared, mother looked at father.

"Dad, don't you think this is weird?"

"Yes. But what can we do?"

"From the beginning I expected it. We shouldn't have let him out."

"Even if we lock him up, he'll be suspicious. Sooner he will realize his own power. And if that time has come, we as parents can do nothing. Except to protect her as much as we can."

"But I'm afraid that others will know his true strength."

"Nobody will know, except us."

"But..."

"My wife, relax. I know, you're worried about him. But we can't limit it. Whether it is black or white, the origin of the knife is used appropriately. It won't hurt anyone else. Protect yourself and others."

"That's your thinking. What about other people? I'm.i'm..."

"Stop thinking negatively. I know, you don't want this. Me either. He's just like us. Don't want this. We'd better pray, may God protect her.Protect our family."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Come, we should also rest."

"Eh."

The two walked to their room. The sound of the door closing. The house went back to being quiet. But who would have thought, Lili who had gone up the stairs to her room suddenly appeared and stood on the stairs. Apparently from earlier, Lili did not go into his room. When he wanted to go into his room, he felt thirsty and wanted to come down to drink. But the unexpected happened. Lili overheard the conversation her parents had about her. Out of curiosity as to what was being talked about, Lili used a disappearing magic. How shocked he heard the fact that, he had a hidden power that was deliberately covered up by his parents. And he knew what kind of power he had. Since childhood, he could always feel the evil air around him. But when the air approached him, it seemed as if it disappeared just like that. As she told this to her mother, her mother did not believe her even until now. But it turns out that it was all a lie. During this time both his parents knew of his hidden strength. Disappointed, sick, that was how he felt in his heart now.
