On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 85: Slowly & Steadily

It's been almost three months and Milan counted the days since the phenomena in the sky. And one fine day, it happened. Fariya called Milan for an emergency. 

"Hurry up will you?" She said while Milan walked slowly towards the balcony.

"Look at the road, that lady stole the man's wallet and is running away from him. Let's call the cops. He does not look rich. 

Milan looked at Fariya with disappointment expecting something else. She got worried wondering if Fariya is infertile for real, and unable to produce a child. 

Milan walked outside the apartment and helped the old guy secretly, knocking up the lady who stole and got the wallet back from her, and then she walked down the street wondering what to do. She didn't notice that she had ended up in front of Aizen's apartment. 

At the right time, he came down and saw Milan walking by. "Hey, stop," he said and ran towards her. "Where are you going?" He asked her. 

"I don't know, " she said sighing looking far away as she spoke to him. 

"What happened?" He asked her feeling funny.

"What is there to happen? Everything has already happened!" She said feeling down and then suddenly woke up. "Nothing," she said changing her facial expression. Aizen hut her head with a role of paper he had in his hands. 

"Dummy," he said. "When will you be back?" He asked hiding his excitement. 

"Not for a while..." she replied smiling wide. 

"Okay, few hours then," he said. 

Milan stood there with an evil smile. "Hahahaha," she laughed. "Not till midnight," she said.

"You don't have to be that late. It's only noon, what will you do alone until then?" He asked concerned then. 

"C'mon brother ask what I won't, I love my lone time, go run fast," Milan said patting his arms and took off.

"Wait" he said. He then took his wallet and have her little money. "Don't just walk around eat something delicious, and buy something you like," hebsaid treating her like his baby sister. Then he excitedly walked towards Fariya's apartment. He bought some flowers for Fariya in between and also walked into a medical store. 

Milan felt glad to have walked down the street and meet Aizen unexpectedly.  She wanted Fariya and Aizen to spend more time together and see what the problem could be with her and him. She decided to spend sometime by going back to the water palace for some minutes since she has ample time with her. She walked down an empty alley where there was nobody and changed her clothes. Then when she was about to apparate someone caught her hand from the back. Milan grew alerted and attacked the person without looking who it was. She pulled him closer, kicked his curb and punched right at his chest and face in a second. 

"What is wrong with you?" The familiar voice said. 

"Oh my god !!!" Milan was shocked and covered her face with her hands. 

"Can't you atleast look first to know the person than act like this ," he said kneeling down, easing his pain. Aiden was wearing a black jean, black round neck tshirt with Marvel print in maroon in his chest and a brown leather jacket on top. He looked breathtaking but only that beat him to pulp. His nose was bleeding. 

"I am so so sorry, I thought somebody is trying to attack me, I was," she tried to explain herself. She then took his face in her hands looking at his nose bleed. His upper lip was bleeding a little along. She took her towel and touched the wounds slowly. And as she wiped the corner of his lip, she could sense her hands shivering and at the same time their eyes met for a couple of seconds. Milan stopped breathing. 

"Arghh do it yourself, " she said and got up. 

"I will do, I will do," he said and got up with her. She changed back to her human wears, putting on the line yellow laced half dress. She looked gorgeous in the outfit but he chose not to compliment her. They walked out of empty alley together and walked down the main road towards a cafe. 

She took him to a near by favourite cafe of hers. The dessert shop that served the best items to the sweet tooths. Milan was so excited and ordered everything best in the shop and sat opposite to Aiden in the table. Aiden looked at the table and at Milan who sat very happily, smiling wide. 

"You know I can't eat all of them at once right?" Aiden asked her. 

"Ofocurse but am here to help, don't worry," she said and took her fork and plate they gave them. She took the little muffin and a gulab jam, her favourite dessert and asked Aiden to begin. Aiden started digging into the sweets he had before him. And everything blew his mind off. There was an explosion in his mouth, newly awakened tastebuds that made him enjoy every snack he had. Milan was having her shares not giving him. 

"Hey that's not fair," he said. "You ordered them for me, you can't take away," he said. And they sat there cat fighting over the cups of cheese cakes and tarts and cakes. Then feeling pity, Milan decided to share the most amazing dessert with him, which is found too rare in the city and something very foreign. She handed him the rasagullas and waited for his response.

"Oh yes," he said eating a ball with the sugar syrup. And he looked at her. "I give it rank 1." He said and slowly hit the table and she laughed loud.

"I know," she said to him. Seeing the two enjoying the sweets, the cafe manager gave then some free desserts and two beverages. One hot and one cold. Taking latte for herself, she gave the big Falooda that had richness if ice creams, nuts, jellies, choco chips, cherries and cream on top. His heart melted as he had them and looked at Milan who was watching him smiling widely enjoying her time. 

"How are they? Mother, father, uncle and aunt?" Milan asked about the people back at home as they walked down the foot path walking towards a park nearby. 

"They are doing fine, but things at palace has been eventful, a lot happened," he said.

"What happened?" She stopped him with her hands and looked at him tensed. "Did anything go wrong?" 

"Yes, and no," he said. They walked forward and found a bench under a large silver oak tree. "Tai fell sick you remember?" He asked her. 

"Yes the day you payed me with a short visit," she said.

"Then he asked the Empress to carry on with the funeral. She agreed and we prepared everything and traveled to the Moutian, to our power resource, to close her power source in the cave, then the guardian came alive. But guess how?"

"What? Say it fast," she said. 

"Empress used the locomotive spells on the one of the guardians and it distracted and attacked everyone. Mother and father understood that and played along since power source should not be closed for Aqua and the Empress because of the Demon King now,"

"So she took our side?" 

"Yes she had to because our queen, well played have to say, emotionally caught hold if the Empress and she had no way out of the maze ma built," 

"That's my mother," Milan said proudly. 

"And we managed to cancel that," Aiden said but he had no idea about the rest that happened inside the cave. 

"What is the next matter?" Milan asked eagerly. 

"Huo'er, now everyone knows he is not worth a piece of gold," Aiden said turning angry instantly. 

"What did he do now?" She asked worriedly. 

"When I addressed him as brother in law he got all angry and asked me to never call him that again,' Aiden said clearly. 

"I can't believe that he has moved on," she said.

"I can't believe it either, " Aiden agreed.

"He was found by ma and pa in the cave, he was unconscious, they brought him home finding it abnormal, but he was like nothing happened in there and he has no idea how he ended up there either," 

"Something about him us really fishy," Milan said and they both sat on the bench silently. 

"What about the progress here?" He asked her.

"Am worried thinking whether Aizen and Fariya are fertile or not," she shared her thoughts.  "So I out them together today and got out.  I was about to come home that's when you caught me, " she said. 

"She is yet to conceive I see" he said and thought for sometime. 

"The phenomena didn't seem like a joke though," 

"We saw too, it's after the we discovered Huo'er too," he informed her. Milan found it too suspicious.

"Even we can't ente the cave except father, how did her? Why did her? Something is fishy," Milan said. And at the same time, she received a call. She picked the call and looked at Aiden. She stood and started running. Aiden followed her wondering what is going on with Milan. Milan rushed to get a cab and asked Aiden to keep up with her. "Holycow," she said as she got in. She was panting hard. "Be prepared for whatever..." and she was interrupted with a other call.
