THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Hidden Secrets (7)

In front of the mirror, Lili combed her hair while looking at her reflection inside the mirror. He sees himself as much thinner than he was before he got married. He put his comb on the table. Then he raised his right hand, trying to use his magic power. After he married, he never used his magic power in the palace. Since his mood was now bad, he tried to use his magic power inside the palace, just to console himself. However, who would have thought if it turned out inside the palace, he was unable to use his magic power. For the third time, he tried to channel his power into his hands, but still failed. Feng who accidentally saw her, felt very sorry for Lili. Innocent innocent girl, who never hurt anyone else, must feel the cruelty of this life. Feng felt guilty for hurting himself inside and out. As her husband, she did not protect him, but hurt him secretly without him knowing. Seeing the look on Lili's sad face, Feng walked over to her. He pretended to ask about his condition.

"What's wrong with you? What's going on?!"

Hearing Feng ask him, Lili was startled and turned her eyes away. He tried to hide his power which he could not use in the palace. She did not want this to be known to others, even her own husband.

"There's nothing. I want to rest first." said Lili as she moved from her seat. He walked to his bed. He lay down, on his bed, pulling a thick blanket of red hair to cover part of his body. Suddenly he saw Feng coming towards him. He immediately turned his body, turning his back on Feng who was already lying next to him. Lili pretends to sleep. His heart was very upset with Feng's behavior. Suddenly Feng's voice sounded in his ears.

"Lili, rest tonight. As I promised, I will take you to go around the palace. Good night." said Feng Yu while kissing Lili's left cheek.

Then he lay down to sleep. Before closing his eyes, Feng glanced at Lili who was still on her back. Feng sighed and turned his back to Lili. The two turned their backs on each other. Slowly Lili opened her eyes.

"He did not apologize at all. You haughty man." Inner Lili.

Then he closed his eyes again. At least tonight she can sleep soundly, without the distraction of her husband.

Morning Day, please,

As promised, Feng took Lili for a walk around the palace. For an hour they surrounded the palace. Suddenly Lili ventured to talk to Feng.

"Su. my husband."

"What's wrong?"

"I want to ask you for permission. I want to take a walk out of the palace. Would you allow it?!"

"Why do you really want to take a walk out of the palace?!"

Hearing Feng ask his reason for coming out of the palace, Lili had already prepared her answer.

"I'm tired of being in the palace constantly."

"Why? Have you never been out of the palace?"

"It was out visiting my family. Not out on a walk."

"I'll let you."

"REally?!"

"Yes. But I'll accompany you for a walk."

"Thank you my husband" Lili said as she kissed Feng's left cheek abruptly.

Feng was shocked to get a surprise attack from his wife. His face turned red instantly.

"You don't ask, why should I accompany you for a walk?!"

"For what? Aren't you my husband. So it's not natural, if a husband accompanies his wife to go for a walk."

Hearing Lili's reply, Feng did not dwell. He knows that it is the duty of a husband, not only as the head of the household, but also as a comfortable place for his wife. Accompanying him, protecting him, taking responsibility for his wife's needs. However, he also realized, that he could not be a shelter and a comfortable place for Lili. As a husband, instead of protecting her, but instead hurting her. It was this guilt that still haunted his mind.

"When do you want to go for a walk?"

"Now, what can?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then, you wait here a minute. I'll go get changed first."

"For what?! You just wear those clothes. No need to change clothes anymore."

"My husband, I don't want to appear conspicuous outside the palace. There are many of our people whose lives are in short supply. To me, it's so inappropriate."

"All right."

"You should change your clothes too."

"Well??!! Why me too?!"

"Tsk."

"Come on." said Lili while pulling Feng's hand.

"What do you want?!"

"Replace you with clothes that don't look flashy."

"no need. I can do it myself."

"All right then."

The two walked together towards the room.

The Market

"Wahhh.. the lanterns are so many." cried out in admiration Lili.

"You're this, too childish." sneered Feng.

"Humphs. Than you are like a frog in a shell." - Lili.

"What?!"

"Oh come on, my husband. Don't be stiff like that. You've been living in the palace too long. You'll never know what it's like to be free like this."

"Don't you feel free in the palace?!"

"of course. Living in the palace is not my wish. I'd rather live in a quiet, quiet place."

"Why don't you just refuse when you planned this wedding?!"

"Who am I? Is it appropriate that I refuse the king's orders? Maybe I can accept the consequences. But what about my family? I'm sorry I can't."

"You sacrificed your happiness, your own freedom just for your family?!"

"of course. Because the best place to go home, is family."

"Then let's go home."

"Huh? No. gabe. I haven't even walked around town."

"Are you not tired?!"

"No."

"Huff, let's go!" feng Yu's orders while pulling Lili's right hand.

"Where to?!"

"I'll take you to a very beautiful place."

"Where is that?!"

"You follow me." said Feng, pulling Lili's hand.

Both went to the suburbs. Walked for a long time. Soon enough, the two finally arrived at the lake which was located quite far from the palace. The lake is quite unique and very clear water. It is said that the lake is very unique because the shape of the lake resembles a heart. On the edge of the lake, there are many variegated flower plants. Some shady trees flourished on the side of the lake. Feng sat on a large rock by the lake. He invited Lili to sit on his lap. At first, Lili hesitated to reject her wishes. However, Feng persistently continued to force her.

"Lili, come. What are you afraid of?! You said it yourself, that we are husband and wife. Why do we have to keep our distance?! Come here!"

Lili glanced at Feng who was still staring at her. Seeing Lili unmoving, Feng pulled Lili's hand and hugged her. Their eyes met each other.

"Are you scared, did I do something to you?!" whispered Feng in Lili's ear.
