Chapter 159: Dn Exposed


    Aqua had terrible pain in her pain and soon she was pushed away. She screamed and she fell down attacked by the mermaid. Aqua hit her head on the ground. Ariana walked over and pulled her. Aqua tried to fight, while Ariana tried tond an attack on her, blocking and throwing her sword away. Aqua kept defending it did not attack back until Ariana''s anger were worn off. But soon Aqua fell unconscious. She was exhausted and hadpletely used up her energy. Shey there still.


    King Aenon came running towards them, hearing about the fight. "Aqua,"


    "I did not do anything," Ariana said immediately standing up and putting her sword away. King Aenon did not seem to like what had happened.


    "What happened?" King Dn asked. By the time, Queen Rivera, Princess Krystal and Prince Adrian walked over, hurrying to see what happened.


    "Aqua,"Queen Rivera knelt down. She touched the part of the head where she was bleeding. "What did you do?" She asked Ariana.


    "I did not do anything," she defended. "She tried to get inside my a head and I pushed her away," Ariana tried to exin. "I..."


    "Forget it," King Aenon said and carried his daughter back to her room. He put her down on the bed. And then he called for the healer. King Dn summoned the healer immediately. He arrived. The old man took Aqua''s hands.


    "She will be fine soon, she is extremely tired, she looks like she just recovered from a serious wound, why would she get attacked again? Let her rest, take care of her, I will suggest to feed her with this energy pill," he said and handed out a pouch of green pills. "Give it to her mixed with food, it is bitter, she might not have it alone," healer said and left the room. Queen Rivera sat next to her. She massaged Aqua''s hands and waited. Queen Rivera has grown afraid ever since her daughter always getting into dangers. Meanwhile her father waited eagerly for her to wake up, to know what she had seen and to take necessary actions.


    King Dn called for Water King immediately. Something did not feel right. Water King guessed it right, what the conversation is going to be about. He looked at his wife, nodded and left the room.


    Ariana stood next to King Dn in his pavilion behind the Coral pce where there were hundreds of sea monsters are tamed. Water King was taken to the dangerous ce, but he was not afraid.


    "Aenon, you did wrong," King Dn imed the moment King Aenon stepped inside the pavilion.


    "I do not understand Dn," he said.


    "You let your daughter cross her limits, why is it because she is no longer part of heaven?" Dn spoke harshly.


    "Excuse me," Water King decided to put on an act and y just like Dn always does. "Are using us?" Water King asked.


    "No, but am saying what you did was wrong,"


    "What did I do so wrong exactly?"


    "You let your daughtere ivade my head, my memories I hold dear and mess up with my head," Ariana spoke angrily.


    "What?" Aenon went on pretending. "But wait, why is it a big deal? Is there something going on here? Why would she do that or else? Let her wake up, I will discuss it with her," Aenon yed well.


    "Your highness," Ariana called looking at King Dn. But instead Dn smirked and walked forward. He stood opposite Aenon and patted his shoulders.


    "Well yed," he whispered. And he asked Ariana to leave. "Aenon, there are things no one should, but your daughter does now," he began.


    "Dn, I do not wish to be a bait any longer. You offered help and in return you are askingmore than one should now,'' Water King spoke calmly.


    "What do you know about what I want?"


    "You want a war, in the disguise of the war Kill Emperor Tai and take the Phoenix''s golden core away and ce it back in the body of..." Aqua paused and walked forward.


    "Aqua..." King Dn gasped. He began sweating.


    "Pa, we are already in deep trouble. He set the stage where we were the pawn and we cannot go back, any longer, we are trapped, but..." she said and looked at Dn bravely. "Since we never wished to covet the throne, we will make sure the person who is the rightful heir to throne will sit there, a true celestial being if one is born, and not anybody else," she said and looked at her father.


    "I will search for him," she said to her father. But right now have to return to Water Realm immediately,"


    "Why?" Father asked the daughter.


    "We have left Aiden, Huo and Mn alone there, we cannot afford to let them fight them alone," she said. Jin came for Aqua at the same time.


    "Sis, we better go back," he suggested. "Water Throne is going to be taken away, by the Emperor," he informed her.


    "We cannot let that happen," Aqua said hurrying towards the pce to inform her mother, uncle and aunt and leave all at once. On her way she met Ariana, who was sitting in front of the garden of pearls crying her heart out. Aqua felt too bad for her, to have gotten inside her head.


    "Am sorry," she apologised.


    Ariana stood up immediately. She wiped her tears. "Forget it,"


    "I had no choice but to do it, you know it well, you know how desperate I am right now," Aqua exined well. "If i do not get the truth then my life, my family''s life and all our realm and it''s people will forever be doomed," she took a deep breath. Ariana did not look convinced. "If I had not attempted to do this, how will I save my home, a home of thousands of living beings, tell me that?"


    "Now you know everything, what more do you want?" Ariana asked bravely.


    "There is one more thing, where is he?" Aqua asked for the little boy. "I did not know what happened after you returned back from Water Pce, getting the elixir for the baby, what happened? Why do I not see him her?"


    Ariana began to cry again. Aqua waited amidst of having no time to spare. "He is not here with me, he was taken away the day I returned from the Water Pce, they sent me away in the name of Elixir only to take him away and hide him. Feng had trouble because of living underwater, but my little baby should not go through the same, hence King Dn took him away,"


    "But where is he? How can we find him? He is the heir to throne, if Tai is taken down, then we need your baby, we need the boy, we need you to be there, tell me,"


    "If I had known, would I be living here?" Ariana asked back.


    "Then how are you patiently working here?"


    "Only to discover the truth, one day I will," Aqua shook her head, the words seemed hard to believe. Aqua could not tell whether Ariana was ying her if she is really a foolish woman.


    "I do not know how to take your words, but I know one thing, you are not smart enough, either help me find your son yourself, or am doing it, if I do, am not letting hime near you, who has zero spirit to put up a fight,,"


    "My spirit died when Feng''er left me, I lived only for my son, then he was also taken away, I had no reason to live except hope that he is well and good out there somewhere,"


    "Let your beliefs save you, I am leaving," Aqua said left her alone.


    But it indeed was true. Ariana had no idea about where her son is, still clinging on to Underwater Realm only to dig the truth even after all these but Dn was always perfect with his work that nobody could get near him nor collect any information. Ariana cried and then she went back to her office, to continue work and assist her cllllegeaues with work. They were alerted to open the front barriers to let the long term guests Water King and his family take back what belongs to them and never met Tai rule over their heads.


    Water King smiled as he stood in front Dn. Everything unravelled. Dn lost has face a little.


    "You only needed to tell me these, instead of tricking all of us, a thief will definitely get caught someday, anyway without warning. You Dn was like a brother to me, do not lose that position tricking my family again," he said and left the pavilion. King Dn had nothing to tell anybody. Few hourster, the barriers opened. The currents altered. The gates opened wide. There stood six figures in the entrance. To face the new beginning none were anticipating. The time hade. This time, there were no escape route, no help and no deals but just do or die game.


    "Now," King Aenon said and extended his arms. And in seconds, along with Jin, the Water Royals said goodbye to Underwater Realm and apparated. King Dn looked defeated and looked at Ariana. He owed her an exnation.
