THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Demon Queen's Palace

The Deathly Forest

Lili walked through the entire forest area. The forest that was once very famous and feared by many witches and cultivators in his country, now he was able to conquer. Tired of walking, he stopped in front of a very clear lake of water. He sat under a large red maple tree. The forest was not as beautiful as it is now. From the outside it does look like an ordinary forest, but the inside is far from ordinary. There are no trees or plants that can live in this forest. Thousands of corpses hung on trees and scattered on the ground, with different deaths. In this forest there are only thousands of wild animals that have now become his champion as well as his friend. Since Lili conquered this forest, she has revived the dead forest. The forest that used to be very scary, cold, no sign of life, has now changed drastically. In this place, Lili could rest for a moment to release fatigue. In his mind, if he were to build his own palace, it would be a quiet and quiet place. And whenever he wants to rest, he just needs to go and get into this forest without anyone knowing. Eagerly, he got up from his seat and looked for the right place according to his heart.

After successfully finding the place he wanted to, Lili started to close her eyes while chanting a spell in her mouth. After the spell was finished being uttered, he made a locking motion with both of his hands in the air. Out came a red and black colored energy aura from both of his hands and gathered into one. The aura of energy was getting bigger forming an energy vortex around Lili. Then Lili threw the vortex to the empty place in front of her.

Boooom... Boooom... Boooom...

The sound of the explosion was heard from all directions. Suddenly on the ground, there was a cracking sound and ice appeared that froze the empty area. Lili raised both her hands and began to absorb the essence of nature present in this forest. After successfully absorbing the essence of nature in the gospel forest, Lili began to release it in an area already covered by frozen ice. Slowly the area covered by the frozen ice, a neatly arranged lump of ice cubes formed the stairs and floor.

*Kratakkk... Kratakkk... Kratakkk...

Whuush... Whuush... Whuushb*...

Then it continued to be a very tall and magnificent building. Once it felt good enough, Lili began to pull her hand. An extremely majestic ice palace building stood there. Not only that, it also froze the trees around the area. Seeing the palace he had wanted to finish standing, Lili began to step her feet.

Taps... Taps... Tap.. (sound of footsteps on ice).

As he walked, he looked left and right. Everything is as he wants. The gate made of ice with very beautiful and elegant carvings, opened by itself. Lili entered the palace which she had made herself. It was vast with thousands of coiled steps like a snake that was shrinking its body. He walked up the stairs and began to walk down every hallway of the room. Suddenly he stopped right in front of the door of a room. The door is white with a very beautiful carving, also made of ice. He slowly opened it and looked at the room. It is very different from what it looks on the outside. If from the outside, we can see the appearance of a palace made of ice, but when we enter the palace, we will not feel cold. We still feel warm even though it is made of ice. The palace is very similar to its owner. From the outside it looks cold, but warm inside. As her energy was drained to build a palace of her own, Lili decided to sleep in her room. This bed is not made of ice. The bed on which he slept was white and very warm and was supplemented by a thick white blanket on it. He made it his own according to his imagination. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The Prince of Sirzechs Palace

In the garden pavillun, there are three people who are enjoying a dish that has been served by the host. Coupled with a personal bodyguard of Prince Sirzechs who stood not far from the prince Sirzechs was located.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the meal" said Princess Cariz as she rubbed her mouth with a handkerchief that she brought herself.

Crown Prince Feng also finished eating and placed his knife and fork on the side of the plate. Then he looked towards his half-brother who was drinking water. Feeling himself being stared at by his half-brother, Prince Sirzechs put down the glass he had in his hand. He turned to look at his sister.

"Are you looking at me like that?!"

"There's nothing, brother. I just feel like you're getting pretty."

"You too."

"Ehem, I'll go home first Your Majesty."

"For what haste, stay here any minute."

"Thank you Your Majesty. But, I have to get back home soon."

"Thank you for Your Majesty's concern."

"Why didn't Feng offer to drive me home? Is it because of that damn girl!" the Inner Princess Cariz.

"He'em."

Prince Sirzechs glanced at Shion who was standing not far from him. Shion, who knew his master's intentions, immediately walked over to him.

"What's up, Your Majesty?"

"Please take princess Cariz back to her house now."

"But what about His Majesty?"

"Don't worry. I can do it myself. You leave immediately and don't forget to come back here soon."

"Your Majesty."

Shion bids his master farewell and invites princess Cariz to walk first. Princess Cariz responded with a nod and Shion accidentally saw an angry expression on her face. The two left them in the pavilion. After the two left, both crown prince Feng and prince Sirzechs looked at each other.

"What do you want to say and what do you want to know? I'll answer it as I can."

"Not much brother. Just, about your wedding."

"What's wrong with my wedding?

"Tell me brother. What's your real reason for canceling your marriage to Princess Cariz?!"

"Why are you asking me this again?!"

"Because it's not like you used to be. You bravely went to see your father and planned to cancel your marriage to Princess Cariz?!"

"You know for yourself what our father is like? No. gabe. He's not my father. But father! With her character like that, does she look like the one who would grant my wish?!"

"So you..."

"Yes. There's a price to pay, if I want my wish granted by him."
