THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
200 Years (Marriage)

"Ayahanda, you misunderstood. How could I possibly fall in love with her at first sight?"

"Sirzechs, do you know who I am?!"

"Yes. I-i know. You are king. You're not my real father."

"Please!" the king shouted while hitting the table hard.

"Honey, calm down" said the empress, holding the king's arm.

"I am full." replied Sirzechs as he got up from his seat and left the place.

The king sighed and turned to look at the empress.

"You see that kid?! The more insolent the day becomes!"

After saying that, the king left the place in annoyance. The queen and the crown prince were there.

"Mother, aren't you back in your room? Looks like you're tired. I'll drive you."

"no need. I can go back alone."

"Are you sure."

"Yes." Yeah."

The Empress left the place alone. The crown prince who saw him go alone could not bear. He followed his mother and led her to his room.

"Don't I tell you, I can go back alone?"

"It's okay Mom. I'll take you and make sure you can rest in peace."

"All right."

Both of them left the place. The wind blew away the leaves that were falling in the air.

Lili's Residence

"How was the banquet at the palace? Did you make an embarrassing move?" mr. Lee asked his son while sipping a cup of warm tea.

"No. Banquet's smooth. Just..."

"What only? ask the curious mother.

"The king asked me if I was willing to marry one of his children."

"What?!" yelled Mr. Lee and his wife at the same time.

"Are you serious?!"

"Of course dad, I'm serious."

"Then, what did you answer?"

"I said I needed time to think about this."

"Lili, even if you say that, the king's word we can't refuse. If you refuse it, you know for yourself what the consequences are of refusing the king's orders."

"I know dad. I-i know. But..."

"Lili, I know it's hard for you. But we cannot argue this since ancient times. We are ordinary people. The king has the right to take anything, because this is his country. His territory. Inevitably, we must accept it."

"So, can't I refuse this marriage?"

With a heavy heart, both his parents nodded their heads simultaneously.

"Lily, there's something I want to ask you."

"Is that dad?"

"How did you get in and out of the forest of death safely?"

"Dad, you're curious like a king."

"Did the king ask you this too?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then?"

"I didn't answer. And he even wants to marry me to one of his children."

"So that's what it looks like."

"What happened to my husband?"

"Lili, I think the king's starting to get curious about you."

"What's dad wondering? Is it because I can get in and out of that death forest?"

"Yes. Maybe, that's not all. Something caught his attention."

"What is that, dad?"

"Yes my husband, what is that? After all, our child is not much different from other children. What made the king interested in our daughter?"

"That's, I can't be sure. It's just, dad told you. Be careful when you use your powers. Don't let anyone else know."

"So, you know what?"

"We've known it since you were born into this world. I hope you're not burdened by this. I'm sorry, if as parents, we're hiding this from you."

"Dad, mom, you don't have to apologize. I know, you guys doing this must have a reason, right?!"

"Thank you for understanding us."

"Dad, mom, you're being honest. I, I will one day drag you into the palace to accept punishment for my strength?"

"But dad..."

"Lili, listen to your father. You don't have to worry about us. For us, you and your sister are far more important than our safety. So you don't have to think of anything anymore."

"Alright if that's your wish. I'm back in my room first."

Both of his parents nodded simultaneously.

In Lili's room

Tok...

The sound of people knocking on the windows from outside. Lily who was still awake immediately got up and got out of her bed. He walked towards the window. Slowly he opened the window curtains, peeking at who was in the middle of the night knocking on the window of his room. When the window curtain opened, how shocked Lili saw the face of the prince Sirzechs who shocked her behind the window of her room. Spontaneous Lili directly closed the curtains of her room window while sighing. Trying to calm himself. After a while, Lili opened the window of her room and jumped in and out of the window into Prince Sirzechs. Seeing Prince Sirzechs jump into the window of his room, Lili was speechless. His shock had not subsided. Seeing Lili shocked by her surprise arrival, the prince of Sirzechs tried to call her name but Lili still did not budge. So that made the prince Sirzechs patted his shoulder gently, then Lili realized from her daydream.

"Ah. Turns out it was you. What are you doing all these nights coming here? It is impolite to see others. Moreover, the palace guards who patrolled and accidentally caught a prince infiltrated into the room of a girl from the commoners. What did the royal family think of this news?!"

Hearing Lili's rightful words, the prince of Sirzechs closed the window of Lili's room and locked it from the inside with his magic. Not only that, he also put up a protector around Lili's room so that no one else would hear the conversation of the two of them. Seeing the behavior of the prince of Sirzechs as he pleased himself, Lili accidentally hit the shoulder of the prince Sirzechs.

"What do you mean by locking my bedroom window from the inside and putting up a barrier here? Wh-wh-what for? What do you want to do?!"

"For what? If a man and a woman were in the room, alone, what would they do?!"

"Of course we're chatting like the two of us here, right?!"

"Hahaha, funny! Aren't you afraid that I'm doing something bad to you?!" seduce the prince of Sirzechs while taking some strands of Lili's hair that was being broken and playing it right in front of him.

"Did you dare do that to me?!" lili asked as she grabbed the hand of the prince Sirzechs who was playing with his hair.

"Why not dare?! I'm a normal guy. Didn't anyone tell you, don't try playing with a man?!" seduce prince Sirzechs while recapturing Lili's hand with his other hand.

Feeling the grip of the left hand of the prince of Sirzechs strong, Lili tried to pull out her hand. Unfortunately, his power was far compared to that of the prince of Sirzechs.

"Let go of my hand!"

Prince Sirzechs immediately let go of Lili's hand. Lili pulled her hand and saw a red mark on her wrist. It was a strong grip on the left hand of Prince Sirzechs. Seeing Lili's hand there was a red mark due to her grip, the prince Sirzechs mendehem.

"Ehem, I'm sorry I accidentally. Tomorrow, I'll bring you some medicine from the palace. You don't have to worry. The cure is efficacious and I guarantee it won't leave a mark."

"thank you. Not necessary. I can treat it myself."

"really?"

"Your Majesty, what's the matter at midnight like this?"

"Wrong. Not at home, but in the room. And I'm not visiting. But, infiltrate."

"As far as you go."

"Hehehe. I just came here to tell you something. Tomorrow morning, the royal envoy will come and deliver the king's decree."

"What's? Not likely. The king himself gave me time to think about this."

"You're too naive. He is king. And you belong to the family, just ordinary people. Do you want to defy the king's wishes?!"

Hearing prince Sirzechs say that, Lili so remembered the message of her parents. That he was just a commoner, who would not be able to resist the wishes of a king.

"Why did you tell me this?"

"Why? So that you are not surprised and get ready with the possibilities. Then I'll say good."

"Wait on! You... don't you mind, your father doing this to you?"

"No. Even I as his son did not dare to oppose his request."

"Even if it was an order to marry the girl of a commoner?!"

"Yes. I can't argue with him."

"That's it."

"Yes. Sorry to interrupt your sleep. Good night."

Prince Sirzechs used his magic to destroy the barrier he made, also opening the window of the room he had locked from the inside using his magic.

The next morning, the envoy from the royal family came to the surprise of the Lili family. He delivered a decree of the king to the family.

King's Decree

Today, with His grace and grace, I joyfully married the eldest daughter of Mr. Lee, whose name is Lili Lee to my crown son, Feng Lucifer. And given her age, Miss Lili was very young, then the marriage would be carried out when she turned twenty. This decree is delivered."

Hearing the royal decree being read, Lili started to become riled up. It was not only Lili who became startled and agitated, someone who was hiding on top of a large tree that was next to Lili's house, felt disappointed. He was not satisfied with the king's decree that was read. The figure of the man disappeared quickly like a flash of light. How shocked Lili, hearing that the man she was going to marry later, was the crown prince of Feng Lucifer. A very different man to the prince of Sirzechs. Men are notoriously cold and cruel, yet are very popular among young girls all over the country. It was not because of the crown prince's attitude that made Lili become riled up. However, the crown prince's childhood friend, who is hearing will become the crown prince's fiancee in the future. But destiny says something else. He was engaged to an ordinary girl from among commoners. Lili could not imagine how the reaction of the people including the crown prince and his best friend would be. Lili felt she was seizing someone else's fiancee. Amidst the turmoil of his heart, he heard someone calling his name.

"Please keep this edict well, Miss Lili. Congratulations on your marriage."

"Thank you, sir." said Lili.

"We're going first."

"Yes. Thank you, lord, palace envoy. Our family thanks the king and the kingdom" said the father, saluting him.

"Yes." Yeah."

The emissary of the kingdom and his entourage resigned. Lill and her parents, including her sister.

"Sister."

"It's okay. I'm doing fine. Dad, mom I'm going back to the room."

"Yes." Yeah."

Seeing her daughter with a sad expression on her face, her parents did not know what to say to her to comfort her. Lili walked into the room and locked the door. Suddenly he heard a voice from behind calling out to him. Lili looked back and was shocked to see what she saw. It was as if he could not believe what he saw with his eyes.

"Congratulations on your marriage, Lili!
