Chapter 30 - Each Step Towards Truth (Flashback)

The scene Aqua saw ripped her heart into pieces. The Celestial Emperor had decorated the venue for the people to watch the death of the most important people in heaven. It appeared every members of different Realms Aqua knew all her life were not so sincere in their friendship with Water Realm. It appeared no one dared to raise a voice. It appeared that Emperor Tai had become successful in implementing all his plans because of the coward kings from other Realms. But Aqua found that Prince of Wind Realm and her best Friend, Prince Ash is missing. To know that he did not take part in the betrayal, she felt a little relieved.

"Pa, Ma..." she ran to the execution platform where her parents and her uncle and aunt were chained.

Emperor Tai looked happy as well as dangerous. He looked like he is prepared to meet anything blocking his way to success. "Another member from Water Realm, happy to have you here, we can finish you off then, together with the rest," Aqua noticed that the figurines her father created in the form of Milan and Aiden became effective and Tai did not find that they are fake. "Let's finish it off," he said and stepped down, coming towards her. Aqua saw that Empress Lihua has been invisibly tied up and forced to watch the execution. She looked tattered and had inquiries everywhere. Aqua had no idea what Tai has been doing his own wife. He disgusted Aqua more and more. Aqua drew her Crystal sword out and began to to dual with Emperor Tai, the man who always saw her as a weapon from a very young age. A man she addressed as uncle. A man who stole her childhood days and forced to training to utilize her rarest crystal powers in the name of greatest cause of protecting heaven from the demons. Aqua was trained to massacre everything wrong. But it Aqua now Tai was the wrong person. She looked around. There were also guards and civilians who were chanting his name while they fought. Aqua could not understand why people had blind faith on him. She hated it. In the hope to save her parents from their death she fought and she drew all the crystals out of her body she floated in the sky and she attacked everyone. But she did not realize that Tai had already made then drink poison to fall dead instead od chopping their heads off. The mercy he showed towards the royals. When Aqua learned this and saw her family dropping dead, she lost control over her powers and it hurt everyone around her. People fell unconscious on the ground. But Tai held on to his golden sword that does not yield to him. He forcefully tamed the sword and ordered it to attack Aqua. But by then Aqua fell on the ground, losing all the energy. She knelt on the ground unable to make a move and prepared herself to get killed by the golden sword that can kill any life with one stab. Aqua smirked and looked at Tai and sent her final amount of energy trying to hurt Tai with her crystals and she was successful. His meridians were messed up. He fell on his back and the swords reached her. But at that very time someone knelt before her and stopped the sword. Then he carried her in his arms. And he left with her. "Huo'er," she whispered his name before she fell into coma. Her only love, the Demon King saved her at the right time. Even though it was a Forbidden love, no one dared to split them apart after both their reincarnation which was the result of trying to split them once. All of it played a huge role in the secret she was going to reveal.
