THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Return of the Demon Queen

"No!" the sound of someone snapping their fingers in the air, made Lili wake up from her long sleep.

"Aah!" lili shouted while opening her eyes. He saw a minimalist ceiling. He tried to get up by supporting both hands, but both legs hurt like a weight bearing. He also tried to sit and lean on a mattress that is very beautiful and elegant. He saw that there was a man sleeping on his feet covered in thick blankets. He saw the handsome face of a man with pliable eyelashes, thick eyebrows, short black hair, with a light blue shirt asleep on his legs. Lili raised her hand to wake her up, but she felt bad to wake her up. However, the pain in his leg forced him to wake up the man who had helped him.

"Sir... lord...mister!" lili shouted while shaking the man's shoulder.

"Ehm.." slowly Sirzechs opened his eyes. He saw the girl he knew was conscious.

Spontaneously he immediately woke up and held both arms of Lili with both hands, to make sure what he saw was real instead of hallucinations. Lili, who was in pain because her arm was crushed by Sirzechs, screamed in pain.

"Ouchhh, sick!"

"Ah, sorry" said Sirzechs while letting go of his grasp.

"It's okay."

"Then you wait here first. I'll prepare the food first. You must be hungry" said Sirzechs, rising from his seat and walking away. However, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt. He looked back and saw someone pull his shirt from behind.

"Wait, who are you?"

"My name is Sirzechs."

"Thank you." said Lili as she pulled her hand back.

"Wait here for a second. I'll be right back."

Lili nodded slowly. Sirzechs turned around and started walking towards the door leaving Lili alone. Sound of door closed. Seeing that, Lili smiled. The smile on his face, a very scary smile. Looks cold and sly. Shortly afterwards, Sirzechs returned with a bowl of porridge in his hand. How shocked he was when he opened the door. The room was empty and there was no one in it. The mattress is very neat. But where is the girl he saved? Where'd it go?

The wind blew through the open window curtains of his room. Sirzechs walked over and placed the bowl of porridge beside the table next to his bed. He walked to the window of his room and saw no trace of anyone fleeing. Then, where did he go? Could he have been kidnapped? His thoughts and feelings were mixed into one. He called his secret guard.

"Shion, Sasorri!"

"Here is His Majesty." answered the two simultaneously.

Their arrival was like a flash of a black shadow. So fast and agile. They are waiting for orders from their master.

"You two, quickly find the girl! Find him soon!"

"Your Majesty!"

The two secret bodyguards left as fast as lightning like a glimpse of a black shadow.

"No matter you go to the end of the world though, I'll find you, chase you, as I can. Hahaha, father, you must have laughed at me there. So this is called falling in love at first sight? It's ridiculous! I've been like a madman."

The Deathly Forest

On the other side of the desolate and dark forest of death, Lili was walking alone. Suddenly his footsteps came to a halt with the presence of a mysterious figure in black robes, standing right before him. The mysterious figure walked over to him. As the mysterious figure walked towards her, Lili did not move in the slightest. Only a blank look was painted on his face. A cold smile floated on the face of the mysterious figure behind the black robe.

"Hows it? Did you find him?"

"Not yet."

"We've been going all over the place, but we haven't found the girl. What should we do, Sasorri?!"

"Eitherway. Maybe just have to wait for our heads to hang."

"Basic stupid! You want to die silly just because you're not a girl!"

"You think I want to?!"

"Then, what should we do?!"

"I don't know. How about we go to the forest of death."

"You're stupid, aren't you?! What are we going there for?!"

"You are clearly looking to die there! Even that girl almost took her life. You're even putting your life away. It's like you have the lives of nine cats!"

"Do you have any ideas, where should we look?"

"No."

"I'm in vain to talk to you!"

"wait. How about we go to town. Who knew he was there? Isn't he the king's favorite now."

"Let's try."

Both of them immediately flew towards the city at maximum speed. It only took them ten minutes, they had already reached the city. Both of them went undercover just to look for the whereabouts of the girl.

The Zwart School

Yumpe!!!!

"I told you, why should new students also take this kind of exam?!"

"Please forgive Your Majesty. Is this the rule of this school?!"

"Rules you say?! Then, what do you have to do now? Even you all are not at fault for finding one missing disciple! What if thousands of your students experience the same thing?!"

All the disciples who had gathered in the hall of the Zwart School, were instantly speechless hearing the king's rampage. All the students were frightened. Unlike the others, Chrysanthemum is very calm. He reached into the pocket of his robe and saw the tokens he collected during the mission without the presence of his best friend Lili.

"Lili, where are you really?" inner Chrysanthemum.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We'll try to find him until we meet. Even if he is at the end of the world, we will look for him. Your Majesty, don't worry about that?!!"

"Don't worry you said?! If anything happens to him, do you want to take responsibility?!"

Hearing the king say that, all of them instantly fell silent. The atmosphere became quiet again. Suddenly, someone's footsteps sounded. The sound of these footsteps broke the silence of the atmosphere in the cold. All who were there, immediately turned to the direction of the source of the voice, not least the king. How surprised the king saw the girl he was looking for, it was already in sight. He looked from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair, he was very healthy not to be injured in the slightest. The king walked over to him and asked.

"Lili, where have you been all this time?! Everyone's going to look for you!" asked the King with a panicked face.

"I forgot the way back to the king. I'm sorry."

"Don't be kidding!"

"Your Majesty, I'm serious. What am I kidding for. Most importantly now, I'm back safely, aren't I."

"alright. Since you're back, I'll take you to my palace.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, this is forbidden!"

"Why?!"

"Because this is already the school's rule."

"Grp... You guys..!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I'm doing fine. I'll stay in the dorm, you don't have to worry."

"All right then. Please don't push yourself too much."

"Yes." Yeah."

The king left the hall, followed by the others from behind. Seeing the king already gone, Chrysanthemum ran towards Lili. He held his best friend's hand which was cold.

"Lili, are you okay? I'm glad you're back safely."

"Sorry, who are you?!"
