THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Deal With the Demon King

"Zwart Land? What'sthat?"

"A land where the greatest and most powerful witches gather."

"The greatest and strongest magician? What's that like?"

"Why is my queen asking like that?!"

"Just curious. The greatest and strongest. If it's great, it's strong, right?"

"Then can my queen answer my curiosity for you?" holding Lili's right cheek gently.

"You! Whatchu mean? I don't understand?" while getting rid of the left hand of the black-robed man who touched his cheek.

"How can I make you understand?!"

"Take me back to where I came from and don't call me with a terrible call from you! "

"Hahaha..introduce you home? Sure oes. Honey, you don't have to worry. Just be my good empress and never leave me again" the black-robed man said, clasping Lili's hands tightly and kissing her. The soft kiss of her lips felt on the back of her tiny, cotton-white hands. It felt soft and light, as if there was warmth flowing in it. There was a familiar feeling flowing within him, yet it felt foreign as well.

"Hoie..what are you talking about?! You old man!" lili snapped while pulling back both of her hands.

Lili turned her eyes towards the window. There is a strange and unique view below. In his heart, he said "Can't I go back to my world and stay here forever?".

Both of his eyes began to glaze over.

"Hey old man!"

Hearing the little girl sitting next to him calling himself an old man, he just glanced at her and turned his gaze forward.

"What's wrong?" ask the black-robed man. His voice sounded cold.

"Can't I go back to my house again?" asked Lili while looking at her. His face looked grim from before. His eyes looked teary and were ready to shed a single tear on his face.

"You think?!"

"I don't know."

"You said you weren't my queen. You should know your way home, right? Why are you following me?"

"following you? Hey, you carried me by yourself and forced me into your carriage."

"Why didn't you rebel?!"

"As far as you go." Lili snapped

"Obviously you're the one who cast the spell as a statue! You sly old fox!" inner Lili.

"Then how did you get into my world? Ordinary humans like you won't be easy to get in and out of this place. Tell me, who exactly are you?!" asked the black-robed man with a serious look.

"I don't know. I'm just looking for my drawing paper blowing in the wind. Until I didn't realize that I had entered this forest and met thousands of strange, terrible creatures that were chasing me."

"really?" asked the cloaked man while leaning his body in front of Lili.

"Te..of course!"

"My dear Empress, you think your husband is stupid. How many times have you changed your appearance and appearance, I still recognize you. I don't think thin clothes like this are suitable for you. But, it was enough to arouse my appetite." a cold smile curled up on his handsome face.

Not only did he tease her, this man also touched the clothes that Lili was wearing. The black-robed man's left hand deliberately touched and squeezed his right breast. Feeling her breasts being touched and squeezed by the man, she reflexively put away her hands. Shocked, afraid, ashamed mixed into one within him.

"Is it with you?"

"Why?! You are my wife, my wife! why can't I touch you?!"

"Because I am not your queen and I do not know you. Why do you still think of me as your wife? Do I look like someone you know? I mean, your wife?!"

The black-robed man, was shocked to hear the question that Lili was asking. He looked at Lili from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair. His body and face are similar. There is no way in the world that someone is very similar to his wife, unless his wife has a twin brother. But as long as he knew his wife a few years ago, he never knew and never heard that his wife had a twin brother. He only has one brother and not his twin. For a moment he thought, is it true that the girl in front of him right now, is not his wife?He glanced back at Lili who was watching him with a questionable face. Inwardly, he said he was indeed very similar to her. But..."

"Little girl, what's your name?" the black-robed man asked as he picked up a few strands of his hair and gently touched them. His lips looked a little trembling.

"Lily."

The black-robed man was surprised to hear Lili tell him her name. For a moment he was a little surprised. Before long, a cold, sweet smile was engraved on his face. He looked at Lili with a very sharp look. That look seemed to trace every inch of him.

"What a great name."

"You, what's your name?"

"Remember the name of your husband. My name is Evil." whispered the man in his right ear.

"E...Evil. It turns out his name is Evil." Inner Lili.

"Okay, I'll remember. But why haven't you answered my question?"

"What are you asking?"

"I asked, do I look like someone you know? I mean, your empress?"

Hearing the question that Lili threw at him, he glanced at her at a glance and turned his gaze forward.

"You should stay with me. I'll take you back to my castle. We'll start all over."

"A..What's?! I can't. I'm going home. I'm not your wife, nor your queen. I don't know you don't love you either! You can't force me to stay with you!" shouted Lili

"really? I will make you know me, love me even if I have to force you to stay with me, I will do everything. Just so you don't leave me anymore. It hurt me a lot" Evil said as he lifted Lili's chin up. The face looks grim. His voice sounded softer than before.

In his heart, he said "This man..what is he?"

"What are you talking about? If you want, I can help you find your wife."

"Hmph, what can a little girl like you do?"

"Not that you're saying, an ordinary human like me wouldn't be able to get in and out of this place. That means I'm not an ordinary girl. I can get in but I can't get out. If you want, how about we make a deal."

"A pact?" evil asked while pulling his hand back.

"Yes. I'll help you find your wife. If I succeed, you'll have to help me get out of this place."

"Don't be kidding. For two hundred years, I searched and waited for him. But, I didn't find it. You, what can you do?!"

"Certainly looking for his whereabouts. She and I are both women. So it's easier to find and understand his feelings."

"Do you know why you can get in and not get out of this place?"

"Why? Do you know?"

Hearing that, Evil fell silent for a moment. He thought that the presence of this girl was not a coincidence. He had to investigate it secretly.

"Because you said you wanted to help me, well I agree with you."
