THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Happiness or...

Arriving at the palace, Prince Sirzechs chose to rest in the garden pavilion. While looking at the sky tonight, the beautiful one decorated the moon and stars. Lili's shadow started to haunt her mind. Prince Sirzechs seemed to see Lili sitting opposite to him, smiling at him. But he realized that it was just an illusion of his heart.

"Damn it! For a long time I could go crazy." Human Prince Sirzechs as he moved from his seat.

Just as he was about to walk towards his room, he saw his stepfather was walking towards Feng's room. He walked in the company of two guards.

"That's not the direction towards Feng's room. Why did you walk there?"

Curious, Prince Sirzechs followed his stepfather from behind. In order not to be caught by his father, Prince Sirzechs used busting magic. He felt himself invisible to anyone. He followed his father into Feng's room.

Kreekkk (the sound of the door opening from the inside)

"Dad?" said Feng with a shocked expression on his face.

Without further ado, the father went into his room. Observe the entire room.

"Both of you, wait for me in front and watch. Don't let anyone else in!"

"Okay Your Majesty." replied the two bodyguards simultaneously.

They both say goodbye and close the door to the room. And start standing guard at the door. Seeing that both of his guards had already come out and were standing guard at the door of Prince Feng's room, the king started to walk up to take a seat. He sat on a long white sofa. His luxurious robe he stretched so much that it almost covered the body of the sofa.

"What are you doing there? Sit quickly?!"

Feng who was still standing beside the door of his room, directly walked over and took a seat on the sofa facing right in front of his father.

"You must be surprised, why did I suddenly come here this late?"

"Sorry father, Ananda doesn't know if your father came to Ananda's room."

"I did not intentionally tell you. There's something important, that I want to talk to you about."

"Is that dad?"

"Regarding your marriage to Lili."

Hearing his stepfather mention his half-brother's marriage, Prince Sirzechs' heart beat fast. Prince Sirzechs, who had been hiding behind a cherry blossom patterned sketch, was shocked to hear his stepfather wanted to discuss his half-brother's wedding. Feeling that someone was watching him, the king stared at the skeptic not far from where he was sitting. Seeing his father gazing towards the skeletons, Feng reprimanded him.

"What's the matter dad? Is there something wrong with my room?!"

"none. I just feel, your room divider is very unique. Cherry blossoms that fall, are very beautiful to enjoy in spring."

"Father's right. If your father wants it, I'll get people to make it for you."

"no need. I don't like it. Moreover, something hidden was inside it." said the king who was still staring at the sketch.

"Huh?! What does ayahhanda mean?"

"Nothing" the king replied as he turned his gaze towards crown prince Feng.

"Is your father insinuating me?" the Inner Prince Sirzechs.

"Let's get back to our topic of conversation, about your marriage."

"What happened to my marriage, Dad?"

"Aren't you curious, why did I marry you to Lili?"

"No. It was dad's decision. I can only take it."

"Indeed you are my very understanding son."

"Thank you dad, for the compliment."

"Looks good. I want you to remember what I told you. I hope you won't betray me."

"What does father mean? I don't understand?!"

The king moved from his seat. He passed by Feng and walked towards the window of Feng's room, which was beside the sofa that Feng was sitting on. He looked out the window.

"Two months, you're getting married. Before you get married, I want you to spend your time with her. Approach him. Attract him. Take heart. Make him fall in love with you, so he doesn't want to part with you!" pinta king

"Why did you ask me to do that? What exactly do you want, father?!" asked crown prince Feng as he moved from his seat.

He walked over to his father, but his footsteps stopped. The distance between the two of them was only one meter.

"Don't you want to know, what secret he got out of that dead forest?!"

"I'm not interested."

"Basic fool!!! Don't you know the history of the death forest?!!"

"..."

"Even my own brother who was stuck there, hasn't heard from him in years. While Lili?! He can come out alive in just three days?! three days?!"

"Isn't that a remarkable achievement, which only happens once in a thousand years in our country, father. Shouldn't we be proud of him."

"Tsk. You don't know that black magic is forbidden in this country."

"Then, what does this have to do with Lili?!"

"When I was young, your grandfather called a fortune teller. He asked the astrologer to predict the fate of his country. And you know what that fortune teller told your grandfather?!" firmly the king as he turned to look at crown prince Feng sharply.

"What?!"

"The astrologer said that, this country will be ruled by people with extraordinary black magic. No one has managed to subdue him. Not only that, he also had an incredible allure."

"Did the fortune teller say, who is he?"

"The astrologer did not mention who it was. He only mentions his features."

"How is it?!"

"She's a young girl of small stature. Black hair long straight strung. Didn't you see that the girl's features are on Lili."

"How come, father was so sure that it was Lili? There are many girls who resemble these traits. Do you have any evidence?"

"Proof is not there. But, I won't be wrong!"

"I'm sorry if I sassy father. Without proof, we can't accuse someone at will."

"Shut up!!! You're still a layman to understand this. So leave the rest to me. You just have to do this."

"What is that, father?!"

"On your first night, I want you to absorb its power. If you don't manage to absorb its power, you can weaken its power. I'll prepare it. Hows it? Are you capable of that?!" asked the king with a grinning smile.

"What?!" inner Crown Prince Feng and Prince Sirzechs simultaneously.
