On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 129: Change of Heart

Milan waited for Aiden. But he was busy, practising and meditating. She waited for long. In the end, she got up from the rock and walked away. She decided to climb the top of the mountain they were residing on. She always wanted to see it. She had gotten bored of the daily forest and river view. She wanted more. Like when she lived in the palace. Go around, see things, eat things, feel things, and she wondered about what kind fox she is, not happy at living in her own magical woods. She realized how the worldy life and pleasures has influenced her living style and she craved for it. Milan had constant mood swings. "Why god why?" She always wondered. She couldn't help but feel all if it. "Damn it," she often cursed. She was no longer in his terms with the wolf pack, after she killed one who molested her. It was the right thing to do but not for others. The Centuars found the one in the conflict often breaking the rules in the woods. Going hunting, attempting to break through the barrier to Milan go crazy. But they had no idea that that was one thing the fox Queen was looking forward in happening. Breaking the barrier and escape. But as a Queen, she did not have the heart to hurt the peaceful existence of the lives that trusted her. That found shelter under her. She often walked around in her true self and explored the Giant's places to see everything is okay with that community. 

Milan began to climb up the mountains alone. The barriers ended there, but shockingly, she managed to get out of it she didn't know how, but they way up to the moutians, helped her walk out and walk towards the edge. "Othoke?How? Why? How?" She couldn't stop wondering. Milan took several steps back. And she went back into the forest. And she walked through the barrier again. Then she walked back to the mountain top entry and she stepped out of the barrier again. She did that several times in a row to test that it's really happening. And she grew excited. She screamed out loud. And howl echoed around the forest. Hearing her sound, Aiden realized that she had set out on her own and stopped practicing sword and ran for her. He followed the way the sound came from and he reached the mountain top.  To his shock. The same thing happened to him. 

"How? Why? Ho how? He asked Milan with the surprising expression on his face. 

"I don't know, it happened just like that," she said to him. 

"Only this part or all the barriers, we never tired before, to step out, but how?" He said

"I knowwwwwww!" She replied standing with her hands on her hips, smiling and contemplating about the matter. "Let's go fir now," she said and walked forward. The woods ended, and opened to a huge meadow, a beautiful green meadow with full of flowers. It looked mesmerising. Her eyes grew wide and ran towards turn. 

"Slowly," Grand Prince Aiden warned her and followed her, with a smile on his face, seeing her excited self. "Wait for me," 

"Come fast, this place looks too irresistible. No one has ever known about this place before I guess. It looked like less visited place. Look at the eco system. There are lots of birds and squirrels,  see that willow tree," she said and pointed at an old willow tree, green with flowers all over. She walked towards the tree and looked down the mountain. The breathtaking view from the edge, warmed her heart. Aiden stood behind her and held her hand, for stopping her from going further towards the edge. Her heart skipped a beat. He never cared to do such stuff before and when he did this time, it triggered her feelings and her heart. She felt her hand growing hot and she blushed. He noticed that but stood smiling pretending to not have seen or felt anything. He tightened his grip around her. They decided to sit under the tree for sometime. Aiden got some fruits to satisfy them hunger and settled down under the tree. She sat there staring the sky and towards the edge. She smiled and breathed well. She was finding peace putting away the heavy feelings in her heart. 

She could see the sea in the distance that is close by her home. 

"It's too far away from here, am thinking the same," he said watching her. "That's why we cannot just spot the palace,"

"Hmmm," she looked at him and smiled. "I can't believe all this happened, not even in my wildest dreams did I expect for things to happen this way," Aiden smiled as she said. He couldn't believe how blind he had been for years and years. He looked right into her eyes. His heart skipped a beat this time. He saw the ocean of emotions in her eyes. He couldn't believe that getting imprinted on somebody could be a real thing. But he accepted it in the end. He accepted the fact she has always been in love with him and the fact that his heart has changed. He wasn't even aware of it at first, but there sitting under the willow tree, with her, at the very moment, seeing her turquoise blue eyes, he knew how he has fallen for her, unconditionally and irrevocably, in love with her. He felt it. In his heart. As it pounded loud and fast, as it wanted her, as it longed for her, as it got afraid of telling her, wondering if would be right, wondering if it is okay to tell her at the current situation. He knew for sure, that he is no longer obsessed with Aquamarine, but Milan, truly, and madly. He exhaled hiding his feelings,  looking away. She quickly turned her head away.

And he got up instantly. He corrected his dress and helped Milan stand up. 

"Thanks," she said. She was shy seeing the way he was being with her unexpectedly. 

They walked for sometime and then picked up flowers. He made a crown for her. And placed it on her silky hair. She loved it. This is the first Aiden has made something for her and gifted her. She found happiness in this little thing. She was satisfied and did not expect anymore unaware of his feelings. He glanced at her and turned away smiling. 

Milan looked at the sky and noticed something suddenly. Things she failed to check before. "Aiden, what am I seeing?" she asked him.

"What is it?" He asked looking around. 

"Look at the sky, the stars, look," she pointed at the sky. "Is it not....."

"Goodness, the stars, them, it's them, they are back, they are here, oh my god they never left," he said.  They found the truth in the end. "Why did we not check this fact before?" Aiden asked furiously. 

"I never saw them until now, no am very sure about it, it never appeared before," she assured him.

"Are you sure that we are not hallucinating stuff? Or dreaming?" He asked her doubtfully.

She pinched him and pulled his ear. "Are you now?"

"Arghhhhh..." he screamed with pain. "No no we are definitely not,"

"No you are not," suddenly they heard a voice from the back. Aiden and Milan instantly prepared to attack activating their powers and Aiden stood in front of Milan. "It's me, slow down," he said.

"Shifu," Aiden said and dropped his hands. Master Bo Hai stepped forward. Milan took the crown off her head, and stored it. Milan and Aiden bowed at the old man and paid their respects. 

"Why did you do this to us?" That's the first thing Milan asked her. 

"My child you are yet to grow up," he made fin of her. "Can you not still understand it?" 

"Why did you not let us be with our family? You led them alone and die them alone," Aiden said. 

"You're wrong," Master Bo Hai said.

"What about these stars we are seeing right now? Are they real? Are they what we think it is?" Milan kept firing questions at Master Bo Hai. 

"Hmm yes, I can say that," he said. They looked up at the sky again, but this time it had disappeared. It was no where to be seen. 

"Where is it?" Aiden asked  searching, straining his eyes. He sat down immediately and mediated. He tried to locate them using his own star but he couldn't even find his nor Milan's. Only the constellation of Aquarius was visible and clear. Aqua looked safe. He tried to look more for her but he couldn't locate her. He opened his eyes and split a little amount of blood as he strained his body and travelled far away than he should have. 

"Relax," Master Bo Hai said. I have said it. It I true, what you saw, there is hope, and more  but I cannot tell you further, find your sister soon Milan and join with her," he said. "It is important, unleash your powers Milan," he asked her to use her powers.

"Tell us what's going on," Aiden said. 

"We don't have much time, and I just wanted to see if you two are okay on your own, it appears you two are more than fine, am glad," he went on. "Stay strong, don't get defeated," and then he left. 

"Hey  wait wait  tell us more," Milan said along asking him to stop but he left anyway. "What the hell is this? Why couldn't he tell us something more, now am curious and want to get out of here," 

"Relax, let's find a way,  he must be the one who helped us walked through the yard too, to meet with us," Aiden said and looked at her. His eyes grew wide and his heart grew curious, he wished to leave the forest as soon as he could. "Find Aqua, we should find Aqua, she is upto something,"
