THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
Hidden Secrets (10)

Feeling himself being stared at by someone, Lili turned her head towards Feng who was looking at her. Feng's heart was pounding, as Lili caught her wet self who was staring at him. Because he had been caught red-handed by Lili, with a heavy heart he was forced to step his feet towards Lili. Lili, who saw Feng coming towards her, immediately got up from her seat. Feng stopped his steps right in front of Lili. The two exchanged glances with each other.

"My husband, what are you doing here?"

"Just happen to pass by."

"Oh."

"What are you doing here?!" asked Feng while taking a seat on the chair next to Lili.

"Stay back." replied Lili who also took a seat in the chair next to Feng. Now the two sit next to each other.

"Still?"

"Yes relax."

"Why should it be here? In a place like this?!"

"In the room bored me. I want to relax outside. Anyway, here the view is pretty beautiful."

"You like these kinds of things?!"

"Yes. Maybe because I like freedom."

"Freedom?!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you feel that life in this palace is not as free as when you live outside the palace?"

"..."

"Why are you quiet?!"

"I don't know what to answer?!"

"Why? Are you afraid of being punished?!"

"More than that."

"What do you mean?!"

"If only I am punished, I will accept it. But, if the one being punished is my family, do you think I would just shut up to see my family take my place to receive punishment?!"

"Haha!"

"Why are you laughing?!"

"You're funny what a fool?! Ahahaha!!!"

Seeing Feng, her own husband was laughing at her, opening Lili's heart to pain. This was not her first time, she was humiliated by her own husband. However, it was different from his first meeting. Now, not only to accept insults, but also to see herself ridiculed by her own husband. Lili was aware of herself, that she was just an ordinary girl from the commoners. Ever since he made it out of the forest of death, the king granted all his wishes. But behind it all, there is a price to be paid by him. After she was given the power to take control of the punishment at Zwart School, Lili had to give up her education. The king reasoned because he studied black magic that is not in accordance with the rules in his country. That one is forbidden to study black magic in his country. If someone learns black magic, he will be punished. His punishment was exiled or expelled by the king from his country. He was forbidden to set foot in his country again, even if he only met his parents.

However, because Lili managed to solve the mystery in the forest of death that so far no witch had managed to come out safely once entered it. But Lili is very different. He managed to enter and exit safely for three days from the forest Because of his greatness, the king decided to grant his wish. But who would have thought, the king had other plans. Lili always thought, one day he would get married at the age he wanted and get the husband he wanted. But fate said something else to him. Inevitably, dislikeingly, he must accept the king's edict. If he rejected it, the consequences he received were more than that. Not only his safety, but the safety of his family. During her married life, Lili was unhappy. He had to serve a man he did not love at all. The man who treated himself harshly on his first night. Men who sometimes get warm, sometimes cold to him. During her marriage, she felt very lonely. There was no place for him to simply share his grievances. Coupled with the palace life that imprisoned him. He desperately wanted to go to the palace family and seek his freedom. But what about his family, if he is caught leaving the palace without permission. Plus this time, he had to accept the insults from the man sitting next to him. This harsh reality made his heart even more sick. Seeing Lili was daydreaming with a grim expression on her face, Feng started reprimanding her. It was the third time, Feng had called out his name, but Lili did not respond as well.

"Lilly!" shouted Feng.

"Yes, Your Majesty, ah sorry. Yes, my husband, what's wrong?!"

"What did you say?! I called your name, and you never answered! What exactly were you thinking, until you ignored my call?!"

"sorry. I'm really sorry."

Suddenly there was the voice of a woman who called out Feng's name from a distance. Hearing that, the two immediately turned towards the source of the sound simultaneously. She saw Princess Cariz walking towards them both. He stared at Lili and then turned to look at Feng.

"Thank you Feng" said princess Cariz as she sat on the chair that had been provided.

It just so happened that the chair he was sitting next to Feng's chair. Seeing that, Lili could only look at him. Feeling himself being stared at by Lili, Cariz's daughter is very upset. She immediately rebuked him right in front of her husband.

"Lili, why are you looking at me like that?!"

"Am I not supposed to look at anyone else, including you?!"

"It's not. I'm just not used to being stared at by future queen candidates."

"Daughter of Cariz, please take care of what you say!" snapped Feng while staring at him.

"I'm sorry Feng."

"And please, don't call me with just my name!"

"Why can't I?! Your wife just called you by your name! Not fair!"

"She's my wife! Only my wife has the right to call my name! You ready me?!"

"Of course I'm your friend. We were friends when we were kids. So can you, if I still call you by your name?!"

"No!"

"Humph! Why?!"

"Aren't I telling you that! Only my wife has the right to call my name! Even if we've been friends since childhood, all you have to hear and remember is that only my wife has the right to call my name, not you! Do you understand?!"

"Feng, you've changed! You're so mean to me!" princess Cariz snapped while hitting the table in front of her.

Seeing Princess Cariz hitting the table hard, Feng immediately moved from his seat. Lili, who saw the incident, moved from her seat. He looked at the daughter of Cariz who was venting her emotions to the table.

"Princess Cariz, have you forgotten..Where are you now?!"

"You're bluffing me?!"

"Not only bully you, but throw you out."

"What?! Whyyy?! How dare you kick me out, Feng!"

"Why not?! I'm doing this because you're so disrespectful to behave arbitrarily in my residence!"

"Lili, it's all because of you!"

"Why am I?!"

"You said why?! Obviously you're the one who started first to snatch the man I love! The man who should be mine! My husband! You!! You're a j*lang woman!"

Platkk!!!

Seeing her husband slap her childhood friend, daughter Cariz, made Lili feel a little scared. She looked at Feng, her husband who was filled with killing aura on his face. He had already restrained his anger.

"Yes."

"Shut up! Don't interfere in my business!" snapped Feng while glaring at him.

Lili's heart was pounding, she was not expecting what she saw just now. Her husband snapped at her while glaring sharply at her. On the other hand, he saw Princess Cariz looking at him while smiling cynically at him. As if he was looking, princess Cariz was smiling over her suffering.

"Lord, give me strength to pass your trials." - Inner Lili with great hope.
