Chapter 139: Aqua and Earth King


    "What? We are going to travel in this double decker public transport? Really?" Aqua asked.


    "Taxis or anything else is not allowed to go to the Castle, it''s a monument being protected by the government, they have rules here, I booked the tickets to enter the castle and for the ride, don''t worry and get on the bus," Demon King said to everyone and asked them to walk up the top floor of the bus. They got in one by one, and sat quickly before the vehicle started. The bus was crowded and it appeared that the destination is going to crowded at the same time. Aqua wondered how to open the entrance without attracting the people''s attention.


    "Wow look at that," Aiden pointed at something.


    "They are billboards, featuring people andpanies, advertisements," Mn said.


    All looked at the same direction. Aiden noticed that the person in billboard is his human brother Aizen.


    "Aizen," he said out loud.


    "Aqua that''s Aizen," Mn informed her sister. "It appears that he is a celebrity in this life if his," she said and smiled.


    "Handsome," Aqua said. "So what about her?" She asked Mn curiously.


    "You mean Fairya?" And Aqua nodded at the question. I don''t know, should we find it out?"


    "We don''t have time for that," Aiden reminded them.


    "Just curious to know if they are together," Aqua said backing her sister. "You know something like destiny or stuff,"


    "Later," Aiden said. He turned serious the moment he spotted Aizen. Aizen''s advertisement for a perfume brand ended but the next one was also his, for a clothing brand. "It appears my half brother is pretty sessful in this life," hemented and turned away. King Huo sat there silently observing everything around them. The day was pretty humid and had haze. It looked like this is going to be one of the hottest days on earth. Aqua did not wish to reverse the climate and alert the heavens about her presence and get hunted down. She sat therefortably and kept checking the time, to reach the ce. But it was taking long.


    "It''s pretty far away, we might take an hour more, rx," Huo said, putting his arms around her. She yed with his fingers andid on his shoulders looking at the scene outside the windows.


    "What do you think?" She asked suddenly.


    "About what?" He was confused.


    "The life here as mortals?" She wanted to know his opinion on life.


    "I don''t care wherever I live, whoever I am or the kind of life span I have, I only want to have one thing with me, and you already know what it is," he said looking straight into her. She smiled. She blushed and sheid back on his shoulders again.


    "Me too," she said. He ced a kiss on her head and looked out. On the meanwhile, Aiden and Mn were bickering about something.


    "No it''s not like that, see I never," but Aiden stopped Mn from speaking further.


    "Let''s never discuss about Aizen again, am notfortable," he said.


    "Fine, whatever," Mn got annoyed stopped talking. She saw Huo and Aqua sitting silently holding each other.She then looked at Aiden and shook her head. She looked out and sat in silence. Aiden fell asleep on her shoulder few minutester. She watched him sleep and couldn''t help smiling at him. "Why in the world did I fall in love with you?" She questioned herself.


    "Because am cute," he replied hearing her.


    "Oh just shut up sleep," she was embarrassed. ''Goodness,'' she thought. But heughed out loud. He quicly kissed on her neck and continued sleeping.


    "Actually I feel sick, am not used to traveling like this," he confessed.


    "It''s alright," Mn said and patted his cheeks.


    They spent an hour more waiting patiently in the bus. Apparating takes a lot of energy hence they did not want to waste the energy level, saving it for emergency and chose to travel in the public transport. They had only a limited time to do everything. And they were holding onto all the hopes. Little did the girls know that their father had nned it well to lead them to the secret realm.


    They reached the ce by noon. Aqua was a bit tensed wondering if the King Of Human Realm would give in and give her information. They walked towards the castle quickly from the entrance getting the tickets quickly and overtaking people. A momentter, they stood in front of the gates,the real entrance of the Pce, a world that is not visible in the naked eyes of the mortals. Aqua switched the entrance by performing a magic. They instantly were standing in front of the tall pce gates heavily guarded by the troops. The gates were locked. Aqua lifted arms and charged her Crystals to shoot at the locks in gates. But at the right time when she was about to let out the crystal bomb, the gates opened. Everyone looked at each other. Without any effort and attack, the gates opened quickly, and somebody walked out. They looked carefully lifting up their weapons.


    "Princess Aqua," he called her out.


    "Prince Leo," she said doubtfully.


    "Your higness, so long," he kept walking towards her. He had no weapons, no guards, no horses nor anything behind him, but just himself, alone, approaching the four of them.


    "Can you trust this guy?" Huo asked the water family.


    "Yes, he is our ally, the greatest gueri war leader," Aiden informed the Demon King. "The first born of King Zidan. The father is a dragon but son is a lion,"


    "Alright then, put the weapons down," Huo''er said and took few steps forward standing next to Aqua.


    Leo reached them and bowed at the four of them. The four of them paid their respects to Prince Leo too and conversed with him.


    "How have you been?" Leo and the crown princess of water realm.


    "Pretty good," she said and smiled. "How are you? And where have you been?"


    Prince Leo looked around and moved his face closer to Aqua''s ears. "We will discuss about that soon, not now, not here," he said and moved away. He smiled. "Let''s go in, father is waiting for all of you," he said and took them in. Aqua stepped into the gates and felt some kind of strange force inside the pce grounds.


    "What''s going on here, " she asked him.


    "Something to do with mortals, part of work, please don''t mind that ande with me," Leo said and took them towards the Earth King. They were weed pretty gently as if they had known about the visit before hand and Aqua asked them that.


    "No no my dear girl,. We happened to preparing snack and food to preserve during theing winters," King Zidan said instantly. But it was evident that it''s a lie. Aqua smiled and looked at her sister who winked at her. King Zidan then turned his attention to Demon King immediately. "We have never had Demon n visit us before here, it''s an honour to have you here," he said.


    "If you mean it, then yes am d to be here too," Huo''er replied back.


    "Ofocurse I mean it, I know how you are and how your father were, unlike other demons, I saw the goodness for the first time in my life, through the two of you and it''s great, it''s never easy for hell and heaven to go in hand in hand,"


    "We still don''t go hand in hand, Enperor Tai is a criminal, I don''t agree with most of his actions," Huo''er said in a very straightforward manner. King Zidan and was surprised andughed. Prince Leo did too, just like his father.


    "You''re good," King Zidan said and appreciated the Demon King.


    "Thank you," he said and raised his wine ss to the King. Aqua was relieved to see how well behaved Huo''er is and getting along with people instantly. She sat smiling. Soon she asked about the Human Realm''s present condition. And King Zidan had a lot to discuss about it.


    "But I guess probably you are the only King from the heavens who is into business and making huge profits through this mortal employment strategies," she said casually.


    "I will not deny that fact, but there is a backstory to everything, so," he said.Mn slowly got up and excused her self. She then walked around the Pce for some time. When people asked her, she said she got lost and will find the way on her own, going around the ces and walking watching everything closely. Around an hourter, she walked back to court. They were still talking to each other. The King Zidan and Water Princess Aqua. Huo also joined the conversation often but he had forgotten that Aqua and Huo are a couple forcefully kicked a killed by their Demonesswho they considered as their family.


    "Okay," Aqua said in the middle of the conversation. "Today''s is the beginning,"


    "Is it today?" King Zidan asked to Aqua. But he was not talking about what she wanted to at all. She got up front the ce and walked around the room, smiling.


    "Tell me where it is," Aqua asked only that. "Tell me, I heard that....."
