Volca tried to smile as she saw Aqua, walking towards her. "I know you dislike me now,"
"The word dislike wont do to convey for what I feel for you," Aqua replied.
"And I won't ever apologise to you, you took him away," she said.
"So this is the reason you have been doing all this shits Volca? Giving up on your dreams?"
Aqua asked though she had doubt about it.
"He is the new dream,"
"Because you always knew he is the prince and you wanted to usurp the throne with him?" she asked him. Volca's face changed, like the rain clouds that would darken the sky.
"You," Volc couldn't find any words.
"Don't you realise if you keep doing this you will eventually lose him forever without even having something to call as a friendship?" Aqua asked her.
"What do you know?"
"I know one thing, I know your mother Fiona is behind all your mislead," she said and Volca remained silent. "It's not too late, righten your wrongs, he will forgive you too," Volca smiled and shook her head, she walked away. Aqua didn't feel right about it. She worried a little wondering what plans Volca had made with her mother. Aqua's personal guard walked towards her with an piece of paper. He handed her it and stood by her side. Aqua was shocked to read the news. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Aqua quickly put on her hat and veil down her face and she went to find Milan and Aiden in the medicinal gardens. She informed then and asked them to behave like demons would, wearing their clothes and covering their face as possible.
There was an hour left for coronation and everybody hurried to the main hall of the castle.
Dritan was already standing there. People had begun to take the allotted seat, the ministers, extended family, and the guards. Aqua took the seat at the front row. The table has been set for her with food and wine. And it began. Huo walked towards the platform. His black nobility childe elegant hanfu with golden embroidery. More like the king's costume. Aqua wondered why he was given such a rich costume for a moment, but then it made look even more handsome than before. Everyone hailed the king and the prince. Aqua kept looking around to see if there were any unfamiliar faces who looked close to spies. She used her power of crystals and cultivation to travel out of her body and knock people out who looked suspicious. She was feeling tired using her energy.
"Enough Aqua, let them take care now," Milan advised her sister. And the ceremony began. Huo'er gave a quick glance towards Aqua winked at her, smiling. Then he stood looking at the audience.
A saint began his speech and prayer. Then Dritan announced the coronation. He took the crown from his head. Everyone began to whisper to each other. Aqua looked at Milan and then back at Huo'er who looked equally surprised.
"All hail to the new king from Today, Huo, accept it, take your oath," Dritan announced and people gathered got shocked. Aqua accidentally got up, something seemed off. Everyone in the hall turned to face towards her. She perplexed. Suddenly she bowed to him, "All hail to Huo'er, The Demon King," she said and everybody followed her her footsteps. Huo'er couldn't help but smile but controlled his emotions, looking all serious.
"Are you sure?" he asked his father.
"I so am, I finally get to rest now," He told his son. Everyone glorified inside the room and began the celebrations.
"To everyone who have entrusted me with this position, I will save this kingdom with my blood until my end," he promised as he took the throne. People rejoiced and the words spread like fire everywhere. The new king of the demon realm. Aiden stood frozen still, unable to accept the fact. Milan stood holding his hands and Aqua watched Huo'er carefully from the beginning till the end. But she forgot about Volca and missed her from the ceremony. Volca was nowhere to be found inside the hall neither Fiona.
