THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Fire Jealousy

Hearing her name being called, Lili looked back. He saw Prince Sirzechs walking closer to him. Seeing Lili getting more beautiful and growing into a mature woman, made Prince Sirzechs smile blush in embarrassment. His face was red like fresh tomatoes.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Just pass by. Who would have thought we'd see each other again."

"It's a coincidence, too, to meet His Majesty here."

"Are we fooling?!"

"Just a coincidence once, where can be said to be a match."

"Everytime? I think we met many times."

"Ehem, so miss meets this young master often?"

"Why do you even believe it?"

"I'm just asking, miss."

"Ehem. Who's she?"

"He's my personal servant. I've taken him as my brother."

"Oh."

"Your Majesty, I'll excuse you first" Lili said as she saluted and turned her back.

Quickly, Prince Sirzechs grabbed Lili's right hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Go home."

"If you'd like to, I'd like to take you for a walk. Would you like to... take a walk with me?"

Hearing that, Hana hid her smile. He smiled at Prince Sirzechs. Attentively, Hana asked Lili for permission to go home first. Now both are in the park. Silence is created between the two.

"Ehem, your servant is gone. Now it's just the two of us. Where are you going?"

"As for His Highness the Prince."

"Then, how about we go for a walk."

"All right."

The two walked hand in hand past the red maple trees that were lined up on the roadside. The wind blows. The leaves fell down with the loud sound of leaves strewn on the ground. The road they went through was very quiet, no one passed by. Every time they stepped their feet, there would be a loud sound of leaves strewn on the streets. From a distance the streets they passed, became red like a red sea that was dashed by dawn. It was beautiful and soothing to the eyes that were looking at her.

"Lily."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Sorry if I'm sassy. Can I ask you something?"

"Can. Justsaytheword. I'll answer as I can."

"On the marriage that the King had arranged before, do you accept it?"

Hearing that question, Lili fell silent without a word. Seeing Lili's silent reaction, yet to answer her question, made Prince Sirzechs feel guilty.

"sorry. Ii'm sorry. I'm..."

"It's okay. Besides, why are you asking me this?"

"I'm just curious about your answer."

"That germ?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I think you're jealous."

"Well?!"

"What?"

"It's okay."

"I have not yet given an answer to His Majesty the King."

"Why?"

"I don't know myself."

"Why don't you know. If you don't like to refuse. If you like it, just say yes. What's difficult?"

"If it were that easy to talk to a king, how happy would this be."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean? Isn't it obvious. If it was easy to do and easy to talk about, I would. But in fact, no. Your neck or your family's gonna be the stakes."

Hearing Lili say that, made Prince Sirzechs speechless. Because what Lili said is true. Suddenly a silver butterfly flew around Lili and landed right on Lili's left finger.

"What's that?" prince Sirzechs asked while observing a very cute silver butterfly on Lili's left finger. It is like any other butterfly, but its body color is silver and transparent. A very beautiful animal.

"It's a messenger butterfly."

Hearing the praise of Prince Sirzechs, Lili replied to him with a small smile. His cheeks were shamed with shame. Soon, the silver butterfly disappeared into a white grain and flew away in the wind. Unintentionally, Prince Sirzechs stared at Lili. He saw, Lili's face was moody after the silver butterfly disappeared.

"What's wrong?"

"My father asked me to immediately go to the palace now."

"Let me be with you."

"no need. I don't want to bother you."

"I don't feel bothered. Besides, I'm going to the palace."

"All right."

Prince Sirzechs whistled loudly and from the sky flew a giant eagle. The eagle landed on the ground right in front of Prince Sirzechs and Lili.

"Let's go up Lili."

"Me?"

"Yes. You go first."

"okay."

He hesitantly stepped his foot. Before climbing onto the back of the giant eagle, Lili scanned the entire body of the giant eagle. Very large than eagles in general.

"What's Lili."

"No. It's okay."

"Just calm. He didn't hurt anyone. Except..."

"Except what?"

"Unless you tease her, hahaha..."

Hearing the words of Prince Sirzechs who teased him, made Lili's face become red. He did not dare to climb on the back of the giant eagle. Realizing that Lili was embarrassed because she teased him, Prince Sirzechs only smiled anxiously at his behavior.

"Haha. I'm kidding."

"I know."

"Let's ride. Why are you still daydreaming?!"

Lili climbed on the back of the giant eagle followed by Prince Sirzechs from behind and sat behind Lili. This atmosphere made both of them feel awkward.

"Are you done, Lilie?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"good. We're leaving."

The giant eagle started flapping its two large and wide wings and started flying towards the sky. The giant eagle carried the two flying across the white clouds and before long, from below was seen a very beautiful palace, magnificent and luxurious. It is very difficult to express in words. The giant eagle slowly flew down and landed in front of the palace gate guarded by the guards. Prince Sirzechs who was sitting in the back directly descended. He extended his hand to Lili, helping her to get down. Lili caught it and carefully descended from the giant eagle.

"Thank you, yeah." Lili said to the giant eagle.

"You can rest." Prince Sirzechs.

The giant eagle nodded and flew up into the sky and its shadow disappeared quickly.

"Your giant eagle is fast."

"Not as fast as I am."

"really?"

"Let's both of us go inside."

"Good."

Prince Sirzechs walked in front followed by Lili behind him. The two bodyguards who were in charge of guarding the gate, gave their greetings while bowing their bodies slightly. Prince Sirzechs replied with a slow nod. The two guards opened the gate. Prince Sirzechs put his foot forward. Just a few, he stopped. Lili still stood and did not move from her place.

"Lili, what are you waiting for? Let's go in."

Lili nodded slowly and walked towards Prince Sirzechs. There was the sound of the gate being closed violently by the two guards. The two walked towards the meeting hall. Arriving at the meeting hall, Lili saw both her parents and her sister sitting at the table that had been provided by the King. On the other side of the table, he saw the Crown Prince and Princess Cariz. The king saw the arrival of Prince Sirzechs and Lili.

"good. You two have come. Let's quickly grab your seats!"

"Thank you Your Majesty" Lili and Prince Sirzechs said simultaneously.

"Hm."

The two walked in different directions and took the seats provided. Seeing Lili coming with her brother (Prince Sirzechs), made the Crown Prince feel a little angry. It was clearly depicted on the crown prince's face. Seeing that the two were already sitting in his place, the King cleared his throat.

"Ehem. Since everyone is present and complete, then I will discuss this soon. Lilies!"

"His Majesty."

"The time I have given you is over. I want to know your answer now. After all, both of your parents have agreed. So there's no reason to refuse, right?"

"Your Majesty, right. Since both my parents have agreed to it, then I accept the marriage arranged by the Emperor."

Hearing Lili's reply who had already agreed to the marriage that had been arranged by the King, made Prince Sirzechs shocked. He was very upset and clenched his right hand on the table.

"good. A good girl. And for you Sirzechs, I've prepared a surprise for you. Because of your sister, Feng is married. So I hereby declare that Prince Sirzechs will marry Princess Cariz."
