THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
200 Years (Farewell)

Everyone present whispered to each other. Seeing the disturbing sight of him, the King began to shout telling them all to shut up. Seeing His Majesty's unusual reaction, Lili calmly broke this awkward silence.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry exactly what happened as long as I'm not here?"

"Humph, you're still good at pretending!"

"Sorry Your Majesty, I don't understand what Your Majesty means?"

On the other hand, Lili began to communicate with the spirit of the man.

"Woehhh... The king is beginning to suspect you, Your Majesty."

"I leave everything to you."

"You, you're an irresponsible man!"

"What did you say?!"

"Why? You mad? See what you just did?! Haishhh!"

Hearing Lili complain with her deeds, the spirit could only silently hear her.

"Must I be clear here, about who you really are?!"

Hearing that, Lili smiled slightly.

"Why are you laughing?!"

"Sorry, Your Majesty, is not everything clear. If I had made it out of this forest safely. What else needs to be clarified?!"

"You?!!!"

"Your Majesty, hold your emotions." persuade the empress while holding the king's left hand tightly clenched as if to hit the person standing in front of her right now.

Seeing the empress clasping the King's left hand, Lili simply smiled. In his heart, he knew that the spirit was burning with a burning fire of jealousy.

"Are you jealous?" goda Lili while glancing

backward looking at that spirit expression was cute, unique in that it was burning by the flames of jealousy.

Just this time Lili saw the expression of the spirit of a man who was jealous to see his lover, no, his ex-wife was making out with another man who was none other than his mother's other brother with her. Lili wanted to laugh, but she was afraid of sin. Hearing Lili instigate it, the man's spirit instead of being angry, he was bowed in lethargy. Seeing the sad expression on the spirit's face, Lili felt guilty by his words.

"Lili, forgive the King's attitude towards you. It's just a misunderstanding."

"It's okay, Your Majesty. But, can you tell what kind of misunderstanding the empress is referring to? The servant doesn't understand?"

Hearing the question that Lili asked her, the empress looked towards the King who was putting on an annoyed face. The Empress turned her gaze towards Lili as if she knew what she should do to the girl standing in front of her right now.

"Your Majesty has been very busy lately. So he's exhausted and probably a little impulsive towards you. Maybe not just to you, but to everyone present here, I apologize on behalf of my husband. Please everyone understand this."

"It's okay, Your Majesty. You don't have to worry about this. We can tell him that the King is very busy with the affairs of this country. So it's only natural that he behaves a little differently than usual."

"Yes that's right! The Empress doesn't have to worry."

Thousands of people began to lick each other to the King. Lili who saw this scene seemed to want to go as fast as lightning by carrying her family. From the other side, he heard the spirit was mocking him from behind.

"Are you sure you can handle this, Lili?"

"Eits, what do you call me?!"

"Lilute. That's your name, right?! I heard, everyone calls you that. I thought it was your name."

"Congratulations, you got a pretty plate gift."

"A funny girl!"

"Are you insulting me?"

"Dignores? What part am I insulting you?!"

"You just said I was funny. Don't you know that it's a subtle insult without you noticing."

"I'm not insulting you subtly. I say sincere, honest and what it is. Is that wrong?!"

"No."

"Then, why do you think that I am insulting you so subtly? Don't-don't you..."

"Enough. Stop this conversation! Do you want to see your wife?"

"of course! Unfortunately, she was already the wife of someone else."

"Don't you want to know why he left you and married another man without your permission?"

"He didn't leave me. But I'm the one who left him and my son."

"You're too sentimental!"

"...."

"All right, leave everything to me. But on condition, you must meet my requirements. And you can't act rashly like that."

"Yes. Remember my words!"

"Yes.yeah."

Hearing the spirit agree to her terms and requests, Lili smiled and ended her telepathic conversation. He looked towards the King and empress who were still staring at him, as if they were both targeting his life.

"His Majesty the King, His Majesty the empress. Forgive me for my disrespectful actions towards you."

"It's okay, Lilie. Oh yeah, how did you get out of this forest. Can you share your story with the people here?!"

"As His Majesty knows and all we know is that, if anyone dares to enter the forest of death, he will never return. However, if he was lucky, he would come out safely. And I'm in the last choice."

"Wahhh. Isn't that right, baby?"

"I don't think so!"

"But didn't you open your eyes?!! No one in this country can be as lucky as him?!"

"Ehem. Your Majesty, empress, may I ask for your time for a moment. Is there anything I want to talk to you about with four eyes now?" bring Lili

"Hey who are you?! If you want to talk, talk here! Why talk to my wife with four eyes? "

"Darling, you shouldn't say that. She was just a girl who had just grown up."

"Excuse Your Majesty the king and the empress for the immodesty of the servant's son."

The emergence of his father who became a mediator between Lili and the ruler of the kingdom in this country.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

"Shut up!"

"It's okay Mr. Lee. It's just a misunderstanding. I hope you can understand."

"Pardon His Majesty the King and the empress."

"It's okay. Oh yes Lili, can you tell me what happened there? What is the forest of death like? Is it the same as rumored?"

"No, Your Majesty the queen."

"really? Then how did you get out of that forest safely?"

"..."

"Alright if you don't want to tell me here. You can come to the palace and see me."

Hearing his wife say that to Lili, the king stared intently at her. Feeling himself being stared at sharply by someone sitting beside him, the empress grasped the king's hand. A gesture for the king to calm his emotions. By force, the king agreed to his wife's request.

"We thank you for the generosity of His Majesty the King and the empress."

The king and the empress nodded simultaneously. Lili and her father retreated and walked towards the side line. The king got up from his seat and he took a step forward.

"Everything is as we have seen and we have been waiting for three days. Finally we can all witness something beyond our expectations all this time. One girl, one of the students of the Zwart School's academy, managed to enter and exit this forest of death safely without any injuries. What a marvelous miracle. We should be thankful and proud of this. In accordance with my promise, starting today Lili will hold the authoritarian right of punishment at the Zwart School. And as for Elder Menzy, please take this for granted."

"Thank you for Your Grace and blessings. But, Your Majesty don't you feel weird."

"What do you mean Elder Menzy?!"

"This girl is clearly her meridians are broken. How did he get out of this forest of death?!"

Hearing the words spoken by Elder Menzy, everyone present here started to make a fuss. They whispered to each other, questioning the clarity of this.

"What's? Meridian's broken?!" ask one of the people on the left.

"How can he get out if his meridians are broken?"

"Don't he study black magic?"

Seeing everyone talking about her son, Lili's father began to ask Lili who was standing next to him.

"Lili, is it true that Elder Menzy said?"

Hearing her father ask her, Lili did not answer him. He turned to look at Elder Menzy with a cold smile.

"Chairman Menzy, how do you know that my meridians are broken? Even my parents don't know this, how do you know? Do you know who did it? Or maybe..."

"You! Your Majesty, this girl is accusing me!"

"Accused you?! It's ridiculous! When did I accuse you?!"

"Obviously you said that and everyone here is testifying!"

"Is that so? So you've admitted it?!

"What?!!"

"Based on old fools! It could be that he was stuck with his own words!! I'm in vain to keep it!" princess Cariz's curse in my heart.

"Chairman Menzy, can you explain this?!" threaten Lili with her eyes turning red.
