THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
A complicated heart

"What's that?!"

Seeing his half-brother ask him seriously, Prince Sirzechs only sighed. He hesitated to say it.

"I think you know the answer, don't you?"

"No."

"Good."

"I think it's enough up to here that we're talking, brother. I say goodbye first." said crown prince Feng as he moved from his seat.

Just a few steps away, he stopped and turned his gaze toward the prince of Sirzechs.

"Oh yes brother, don't forget to attend my wedding which will be held one more month. I'm looking forward to your presence."

After saying that, crown prince Feng left Prince Sirzechs.

"Shio."

"Yes Your Majesty." replied Shion who was standing at the back, not far from where he was sitting.

"Go and tell Sasorri to find Miss Lili's whereabouts. Tell me if he's found her."

"Your Majesty."

Then Shion paid his respects to the prince of Sirzechs. Now the prince of Sirzechs was alone in that place.

"Lily."

On the other hand, crown prince Feng did not directly return to his palace. He went to Lili's house. He knocked on the door three times and no one opened the door.

Tok...

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

Come out Hana who was opening the door while carrying Lexi around her waist. Crown Prince Feng saw Hana, Lili's personal servant who was holding the sister of his future wife who was asleep. Seeing the one knocking on the door was His Majesty, Hana saluted him while carrying Lexi around his waist.

"Your Majesty."

"stand. No need to be formal like this, when you're holding a child."

"Sorry Your Majesty."

"I came here, wanted to ask you. Where is Lili now? Is he home yet?"

"Miss Lili? He hasn't come home yet, Your Majesty."

"What did you say?"

"Yes His Majesty. Miss Lili hasn't come home until now. Haven't, before... Your Majesty went with Miss Lili?"

"Yes. But, he said goodbye to going home early."

"Is Miss Lili having a fight with Her Majesty?" hana thought to herself.

"What, Your Majesty, is there something to tell him?"

"There was. Tell him to come home on time and don't come out without my orders. I'll come back here again."

"Okay Your Majesty." replied Hana while bowing slightly towards Her Majesty as a courtesy to her.

Crown Prince Feng walked out of Lili's house. Seeing crown prince Feng enter the carriage and leave with his guards, Hana immediately entered the house and locked it. Next, he went to meet his master who was in the room.

Tok...

"Miss."

"Come in."

Hana opened the room door and went inside. He saw Lili lying on her bed. Seeing Hana go into her room, Lili tried to get up and sat leaning on her bed.

"What's wrong? Did he come here?"

"really. In accordance with the assumption of Miss. His Highness the crown prince came here and asked if the lady had come home or not."

"Is that all?"

"Oh yes, His Highness crown prince Feng also said for the miss to come home in time and do not come out without orders from him. He'll be back here again."

"Hehh, not yet a husband has started to rule and govern me." lili grumbled.

"Hana, thank you. You can go back to rest in your room. Lexi's asleep, too. You can lay him on his bed."

"Thank you, miss."

"Yes." Yeah."

"It's about midnight. Is he coming to see me again?"

Lili glanced towards the sitting calendar that was on her dresser. He saw the name of the moon there.

"Huff, it doesn't feel like my wedding day is getting close. Only one more month left, I will marry crown prince Feng. The man who's been looking at me one eye."

Suddenly he heard someone knocking on his window. He saw Prince Sirzechs staring at him outside the window. Lili opened her window and Prince Sirzechs entered her room as usual.

"Sirzechs, why did you come here? What about your wound?" asked Lili while holding Sirzechs' right arm

"I'm fine." replied Sirzechs with a smile.

"Would you be in the middle of the night like this, coming to see me?"

"I miss you." replied Prince Sirzechs as he stroked Lili's right cheek gently.

The lily whose right cheek was touched gently by Prince Sirzechs instantly brushed it aside. He did not dare to look at the face of the man standing in front of him. Seeing Lil clasping his hand, suddenly made the prince Sirzechs shocked instead of playing. However, he kept smiling and was calm.

"In less than one month, you will officially become the wife of crown prince Feng. Later I will call you Queen and sister-in-law. And you will call me brother-in-law" said Prince Sirzechs with a sad expression on his face.

Seeing the sad expression on Prince Sirzechs' face, made Lili's heart ache. He himself did not know how to comfort his friend, much more comforting himself.

"Lily."

"Yes Your Majesty."

"I want to tell you something."

"What's that?"

"I'm going to go."

"Go? Where are you going Sirzechs?"

"Closed cultivation.".

"Why?"

"Of course to increase my strength, what else to try?!"

"But, with the condition of your body that is still injured...is it not dangerous?"

"No. I'm doing fine. As long as I can see your smile, I'll be fine."

"Sirzechs."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I heard you canceled your marriage to Princess Cariz. Is that true? Why?"

"Because it's good that he and I don't love each other. So what's it going on for?"

"But isn't that the same as breaking your father's orders?"

"of course. But just so you know, he's not my real father. So he has no right to rule my life."

"really?"

"Yes. Do you look like a liar in your eyes?"

"No. You look like a perverted bastard who sneaks into a young girl's room every night."

"Ahahaha.thank you for the compliment. Lili, you didn't give me a gift."

"For what?"

"For our farewell. And sorry, I can't attend your wedding."

"That's it."

Prince Sirzechs saw a look of disappointment on Lili's face. With a smile he pulled Lili into his arms.

"You don't have to be sad. I will always be by your side. If you need me, you just tell me."

"I'm not sure of this" Lili said as she took off her arms and pushed Prince Sirzechs back.

"Why?!"

"Sirzechs, soon I will be your sister-in-law and you are my sister-in-law. And your brother will be king. At least we should keep our distance. I don't want to see a sea of blood. You're more with your stepbrother"

Hearing Lili's words, Prince Sirzechs clenched his left hand. Then he turned around and walked towards the window.

"Thank you for your concern. Excuse me. Good night." said Sirzechs without looking back and disappeared like a silhouette of a black shadow.
