Chapter 620 "Leave (1)"

Soaring through the air that's colored by the redness of the moon, Bai Yan only stopped when she finally caught a glimpse of that silvery hair belonging to a certain domineering man whom she’s all too familiar with. 

“Di….”

Bai Yan didn't understand why her husband was here in this remote location and at such hour as well; however, before she could call out his name and get his attention, she was interrupted by the appearance of an old man quickly coming forward from the rear

“Second Elder?” she mutters this upon realizing who it was.

Why is he having a meeting with the second elder when he could've done it at the palace?

Not to mention… he should've come seen me when I came out of my closed-door training.

Finding that the man was about to turn around in her direction now, Bai Yan's heart trembled and hurriedly hid behind the tree nearby. The doubts in her had grown so huge that its effecting her complexion - its gloomy and dark.

The suspicion didn't only apply to the woman either, the one known as Second Elder also appeared perplexed by the strange summoning. "Sire, did you call for me?" All respectful, the old man cups his hand to pay his greeting.

“Mhmm,” the man made a smirk that's somehow different from his usual style. "Coming up, I want you to send a few more people to follow the queen around."

Regarding that order, the second elder just couldn't resist a chuckle: “The queen is truly fortunate to have such high concern from Your Majesty. But I must add, there's no reason to be so worried about Her Highness's safety. There's the princess following her around, and there's no way anyone from the Demon Realm would try to bring harm in Her Highness's way."

“Is that so?" The man’s tone now sounded very strange and off, "Second Elder, do you know why I'm being so good to the queen?"

“Isn't it because Sire's love for the queen is extremely deep?" Puzzled by the awkward conversation, Second Elder was now openly giving a strange look to the other side.

The person in front is definitely the king, there's no mistake. Whether it be the scent or aura, all of it is right. But why is he saying such strange things now?

“Love?” The man sneered, “You think someone like I would have love? She gave birth to my son the prince, that's why I'm being exceptionally grateful to her. However, that doesn't excuse her lack of morality with another man from the mortal world. That Chu Yi Feng, she spent several years with him and even had my son call that man his G.o.dfather, does she really expect me to believe in her innocence?"

“What?” Second Elder was shocked.

If the matter was said by someone else then he may not necessarily believe in it, but this was the king spouting the claim!

“But…” The elder hesitated for a while but continued to ask anyways, "When you first returned to us, why did you make that order then, claiming the queen is first and you only second?"

Strange!

Sire is acting exceptionally strange today!

What's more, shouldn't the king look for the state teacher or first elder instead of myself for matters of this degree? I'm only called second because I joined the Demon Council earlier then most, that doesn't mean anything!

“And you believed that?” The man's face showed a satiric look, "In the Demon Realm, the ultimate authority will always lie in my hands. If I want to take it back then I can take it back. I only said those things so she would marry me."

Shuddering inside over that explosive news, the elder quickly lowered his head, afraid the mere act of making eye contact would warrant severe punishment at this moment.

This is incredible. I can't believe the king could pretend to be so affectionate for such a long time.
