THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Return of the Demon Queen 2 (King Elf)

"Lili, what do you think?"

Lili turned her head and looked at Chrysanthemum from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head. He was very amazed to see the current appearance of Chrysanthemum. She had a natural beauty that made others envious of her, even Lili though. The dress Chrysanthemum wore was very different from the one she used to wear. This dress was designed by Lili herself according to the Chrysanthemum posture. The dress is bright green as foliage, with the lower hemisphere from front to above her knees, which shows the shape of her slender legs. This dress shows the curves of the slender Chrysanthemum body with subordinates such as mermaids. Her hair on both sides was tied together with bangs covering her face. Coupled with a little natural makeup that further adds to her incredible beauty. He looks very good with his current appearance.

"Pretty. So pretty. It's true that, a pretty person wearing anything will look fit and perfect."

"You're beautiful too."

"Not really. People say I'm ugly. Who says I'm pretty is just..."

"Whose germs?"

"My father and you?"

"Puffttt, ahahaha! You're kidding Lili."

"No. I'm serious."

"okay. You asked me to dress up like this, and then what about you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Are you going to the lantern festival just in a black dress like that?"

"Why indeed?"

"You look like you're mourning."

"That's great."

"Well?!"

"At least mourning is much better than looking like a demon?!"

"Why do you say that?!"

"Do you know Chrysanthemum, among thousands of humans, there's one demon in there."

"Whatchu mean? I don't understand."

"Later you'll know. Clearly, I don't want to look flashy right now."

"Didn't you look like it would be so flashy??"

Lili noticed her slightly messy appearance. Her hair was allowed to decompose long and wear a black dress with a front hemisphere that showed the shape of her smooth thighs. And on the back of the dress was left elongated. He was wearing a black robe that covered his body shape. Lili turned her gaze towards Chrysanthemum with a smile.

"I like it."

"Okay, you won."

"Hehe. Let's go."

"Yes." Yeah."

The two went straight out of the dormitory to the river where the lantern festival was held. A little while later, they had reached a river that was not so big yet clear of the color of the water. There were many thousands of people present filling the place while carrying lanterns in their hands.

"It's a lot of people."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Oh yeah, we don't bring lanterns, Lilies. I'll buy it soon. You wait here."

"All right."

Chrysanthemum left Lili alone there. He walked towards the store selling various lanterns in any form not far from the place. While waiting for her best friend to return, Lili scanned the entire place. Something was stirring in his heart. And sure enough, there was a glimpse of a shadow that seemed to mill around among the crowd of thousands. Lili grasped the silhouette of the shadow with the power of her sense of sight from a distance. It seemed obvious that the silhouette of the shadow was an elf. The elf who felt his presence being caught off guard by someone instantly ran away and disappeared. Lili smiled coldly looking at him.

Chrysanthemum had finished buying two lanterns in the shape of a lotus flower When he was about to give it to Lili, he saw Lili smiling coldly. His smile was very different from the previous one. There is hatred and resentment behind that smile. Feeling himself being stared at by someone, Lili turned her head.

"You bought it?"

"Yes. Here's lantern. I didn't know you liked lanterns of what shape. So, I bought this. I hope you like it." replied Chrysanthemum while giving the lotus lantern to Lili.

"thank you. I like it."

"Thank God. Let's just throw this lantern into the river and don't forget our plea."

"Isa's request?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Don't tell me you don't have a wish?!"

"Silly! Where there is such a request. If all the dead could come back to life, there would be many immortals living on this earth."

"Then what's your wish, Chrysanthemum?"

"My request is simple. Having a responsible, loyal, loving husband can live with the one I love for the rest of my life."

"A good application. Hopefully soon."

"Yes. Hope so. If you're alone? What's your wish, Lili?"

"My wishes. Removing someone from my life, forever."

"You mean, forget someone? Lily, oh Lilie. Forgetting someone is not easy. Everything takes time. Especially if you two have a lot of memories, passing the joy of grief together. They have a very strong love bond. It's a lot harder to forget."

"What you said, everything is true. But, between me and him, there's not a strong bond of love like you said just now."

"Huh?! Then, what kind of bond do you have with her?"

"Rudge! To forget someone who means something is very difficult. But not for me. Both meaning and non-meaning, it is equally difficult for me to forget. Especially if it hurts. Even if there is a replacement, that wound, that memory, can't change. Even if he is buried deep, sealed shut, he will appear suddenly at a time we do not expect."

Hearing Lili's words, Chrysanthemum was speechless. For all he knows, it is very difficult to forget someone who means a lot in his life. But, is not forgetting someone who hurt us is not a difficult thing. Why Lili, saying both of them is a very difficult thing. There are many things we can do to forget about it Especially if we have a replacement, isn't it a very easy thing to forget?

"Maybe you ask, why is it like that? Because everyone has a different heart. Different abilities, different traits. Some are easy to forget, and easily forgotten. Some are attached, some are released and then disappear."

"If that's the kind of person who hurt us, does that mean he was a special person in our hearts?"

"Slices, people who have the potential to hurt us. Those who have been close to us. And it's a lot more painful compared to everyone else."

"What hurt you was the person you were once close to?"

Hearing Chrysanthemum's question, Lili sighed while closing her two eyes. As if he felt, the burden on him was very heavy to share. He tried to hold it in front of the Chrysanthemum. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked at the chrysanthemum fixedly.

"It'll be midnight soon, we'd better get this lantern. Forget everything I said tonight. Let's just say I never told you this."

"Well, if that's what you want. Let's just drift off together."

"Yes." Yeah."

They walked towards the riverbank and began to wash away the lotus flower lanterns they were carrying at the same time. The lotus flower lantern was slowly washed away by the not so swift river current. After saying his plea, Chrysanthemum looked at Lili. He saw that cheerful face, turning gloomy. There was a deep sadness behind his facial expression that he had never shown to anyone else.

"Lili, I'm actually wondering who you are? You changed a lot after you disappeared for six months. Sometimes I see you as very cheerful, gentle and full of warmth. Sometimes I see you too, you look so cruel, cold and haughty. I don't know what happened to you then or even in the past. At least I want to, you live happily like any other girl in general." Inner Chrysanthemum

Suddenly there was a scream not far from them. Everyone is running in an uncertain direction. From above the sky, Lili and Chrysanthemum saw there were many thousands of elves flying and started attacking the people who were there. Seeing that, Chrysanthemum felt his blood boiling. He took his magic weapon in the form of a sword from the storage room in his subconscious. He wanted to kill the creature, but was blocked by Lili.

"Wait!"

"What do you mean Lili? Did you let those thousands of demonic creatures kill innocent people?!"

"Do I look like that?!"

"..."

"Crisans, listen to me. You're no match for them."

"If I'm no match for them, then what are you?! Move!!!" chrysanthemum snapped while pushing Lili from before him.

Seeing herself being pushed backwards, Lili simply fell silent. He saw Chrysanthemum fighting it out with thousands of elves attacking him. Feeling himself cornered, Chrysanthemum turned towards Lili. Looking at her, Lili stood quietly in her place. Surprisingly, there were not thousands of elves attacking him. Seeing that, the Chrysanthemum immediately flew landing towards Lili.

"Hows it? Are you tired of beating them up?!"

Seeing Chrysanthemum's face flushed red with embarrassment and unable to say any words, Lili sighed.

"Hiding behind me."

"What are you gonna do?!"

"Shut up and look."

The thousands of elves started to descend simultaneously. They lined up very neatly opposite Lili and Chrysanthemum who were hiding behind him. The thousands of elves were extremely unique in shape. There are those that resemble the shape of a human body, there are also those whose bodies are half human and half fish. They all stared at Lili and Chrysanthemum who were in front of him. Thousands of bodies scattered everywhere. Even the flower lanterns they were floating in the river were burning because of the brutal actions of the thousands of elves. Suddenly the rows of thousands of elves split into two rows. The wind blew fiercely as the thousands of elves split apart into two right and left rows.

"He's come."

"Who?!"

"King them."

"King?!"

Suddenly there was a flying chair made of gold metal that was formed to resemble a crescent moon, with red gemstone ornaments on each side. The chair was red with someone inside. The flying chair stopped right in the middle of a row of thousands of elves that were already divided into two. Get someone off that flying chair. He was tall like a giant, yet handsome-looking, with extremely luxurious clothes. He was the most handsome elf king among thousands of other elves.
