THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Autumn and Red Maple Leaves

Hearing his brother's words, Prince Sirzechs only glanced at him for a moment. Then he turned his eyes out the window.

"Pretty."

"You have not too bad taste either."

"Is your taste much worse than mine?!"

"According to sister?!"

Hearing his brother's question, Prince Sirzechs looked back. He saw his sister sitting on a large sofa in his room not far from where he was standing. The two meet with a look.

"There's a shrimp behind the rock. Tell me what do you mean?!"

"Hahahaha... since when can you make a joke like this?!"

"..."

"Good. good. Brother, I want to ask you something and I hope you answer it honestly."

"Say."

"Did my concubine come here often?!"

"No. Just yesterday, and you know for yourself, don't you?"

"really?"

"Yes. If you don't believe me, why don't you just ask your own concubine?!"

"It's not that easy, brother."

"Is she?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"That's your concubine. You must have pissed him off."

"No. The opposite is true."

"Huh?"

"He met you without my knowledge. That's so annoying."

"You jealous?!"

"No!"

"That's your household business. You don't take me."

"Yes. But..."

"Otherwise?!"

"I never took you in my business. It's just, I feel like this has something to do with you."

"About what?"

"My Empress."

"He's your wife, what does this have to do with me?"

"What relation? You know exactly what your relationship is with her?"

"I don't understand what you mean?"

"You don't pretend anymore, brother. Don't you know him better than I do? In short, the two of you were previously very familiar, weren't you?"

"Oh. Again, are you jealous?"

"I just asked and wanted to be sure. That what I said, true or not."

"That's right. He and I know each other. Long before you two got engaged and married."

"And you have feelings for him?"

"You just answer me, brother! You love her, don't you?!"

"Feng, I don't want to argue with you. I have a lot of business now. You better go home and calm yourself."

"Humph, you're making me lose my temper!" said Feng as he moved from his seat.

They look at each other.

"Feng, you never changed. Don't you realize that it was your nature that made him leave you."

"You don't hunt me down feet!"

"I'm not hunting you. I just wanted to tell you. After all, didn't you also meet her in the autumn two hundred years ago right? Do you remember what you said to him?!"

"What?!"

"You said to him... "Looky aside! You ruined my eyes!"

Hearing her brother say the exact same thing in her past life, made Feng startled instead of flustered. He tried to recall the incident where he said it to his wife (consort) in the past.

"Don't tell me you forgot that Feng."

"I wonder, how can you tell if I've said such a thing in the past to Lili?!"

"He told the story."

"What?!"

"He told me that someone said he was ugly under a huge red maple tree in the fall. Not only that, he also said that, that person did not like him for having captured the attention of the King and Queen back then. And ironically, the one who said that to him was my own half-sister."

"You're really very familiar with him brother. Unfortunately, you're a step late, brother. Even if I didn't know him first like you, I already got him. Aren't you jealous because I managed to get her?"

"It's not too late to take a step. If if father hadn't betrothed you to him, would you be sure that you could get him with your nature like this?!"

"So you mean, big brother, I'm just lucky that I got betrothed to him?"

"Yes. You're too high up Feng. But you should be grateful too. Even the woman I've been betrothed to would also prefer to cancel her engagement with me just for the sake of chasing after a man like you. Shouldn't you treat that woman well."

"Sister, just say you envy me. There's a lot of women who like me, while you?"

"...."

"Nothing is it?!"

"As far as you go."

"Well if you don't want to tell me the truth. I'll check it myself."

"I've said all the things you want to ask me honestly. You can believe me or not, that's your right."

"Thank you for the banquet brother" Demon King Feng said farewell without looking back. He left his brother, Prince Sirzechs.

Seeing his younger brother leave without turning his head towards him, Prince Sirzechs could only sigh.

On the way home, inside the walking horse carriage, Demon King Feng thought of his brother's words. The exact same words as what he had said to his empress. Suddenly the wind blew the curtains of the carriage and brought in a very beautiful red maple leaf. Demon King Feng glanced towards the window of the carriage whose curtains were opened by the gust of wind. He saw thousands of red maple trees lined up along the road he was walking. Many leaves fall on the ground and are blown by the wind. There was noise under the wheels of the train. It turned out that the land he passed was filled with thousands of red maple leaves that fell on the ground, and occasionally blown by the wind. This beautiful sight made her think of her past when she was young.

"Your Majesty, it is autumn. Does Your Majesty want to take a walk?" asked Darkie who was outside the carriage on duty escorting him from the side.

"No. Just go back to the palace."

"Good."

Unbeknownst to Demon King Feng and his guards, their carriage passed by Lili who was walking alone. Lili's appearance was very different from before. She wears a black dress with a cut dress model whose right and left sides show her smooth thighs. He also wears a black veil with long hair straight. Even Demon King Feng did not realize that he was passing by Lili who was walking beside his carriage when the curtain was blown by the wind. After a while, he realized that he was crossing paths with people he knew. Quickly Demon King Feng told his guards to stop his carriage. He quickly got off his horse-drawn carriage. There was no one behind the train.

"Your Majesty, what is it?!"

"There's nothing. Maybe it's just my feelings. Let's go!"

"Good."

Demon King Feng climbed onto the horse carriage and they began to continue on his way to the Palace. On the other hand, came out Lili who had been hiding in one of the red maple trees. He saw the horse-drawn carriage walking away and very far from him. Seeing the sight of thousands of red maple leaves falling on the ground in a horse-drawn carriage that walked away from her, made Lili recall the memories of the past in the autumn. Memories of her first meeting with her ex-husband at this place. In the autumn, under thousands of red maple trees, this is where the beginning of his meeting with the Demon King Feng began. The meeting that became the beginning of the destruction of his life.
