CHAPTER 123: RETURNS TO HER FAMILY

.

.

Mu Millie said her goodbyes and talked to the ancestors in detail about who she was and the power she wielded, they told Mu Millie that these people weren't her only enemy, especially now she had to careful around she would have the enemy's coming out of the woodworks, but she would be able to tell easily now she could sense the people or being around her because she has extra powers she could tell from their auras whether they had goodwill or not.

Mu Millie was returning in her body but her soul ended up in the demon king's palace she wondered what she was doing here she soon saw that the demon king was tied to chains and his brother who was supposed to be dead was there torturing him he wanted something from him, Mu Millie was left surprised and stunned.

Mu Millie thought how and why did I end up here? She waited for the demon king's brother to leave before she approached the demon king she had known this being for all her life he had helped a lot and he was one of her best friends and trusted comrades. She would help him escape and take down this brother of his.

When she got close the fainted demon king opened his eyes, he looked shocked to see Mu Millie standing before him in spirit form instead of her body, he looked sad too and thought is his little angel dead is that why she appeared this before me, he sighed " hey angel what are you doing here it's dangerous my brother finds you he will capture you and well I can't say he will kill you, but you're already dead, but he can capture souls too so go from here please " he sighed with sorrow.

Mu Millie ran up and hugged him soon as she did the wounds on the demon king disappeared" Sorry I didn't know this has happened to you I will help you okay I am not dead just able to wander in spirit form that's all, then maybe you can tell me what happened how the hell did the dead brother come back to life and how are you the demon king captured here" she asked.

Demon king chuckled a wandering spirit "Wow you surprise me every time we meet in this life but that's great, what are you sorry about, it's not your fault that my mother lied about my brother being dead and blamed all these years and she wanted this demon brother to be king but now she regrets it because he has captured her too andy is torturing her too, he wants the amulet so that he can take over all the underworld but I won't give it to him because even I don't know where it is, so that's why he hasn't killed me straight away and is torturing me instead, by the way, nice powers you have there you heal me by touching me so angel what else do you have hidden away" he chuckled again.

Mu Millie didn't realise she was still hugging the demon king " So how did you lose the amulet and what does it do" she asked.

"Well that even I don't know as it was hidden by my great grandfather saying that it was too dangerous on one hand it could bring about the end of the world, I think it's just a myth and made-up story for all of us to fight over the power of the king of the underworld," he told Mu Millie.

"Can I be honest with you anyhow it's not a myth all the creatures and beings and witches and even humans have their own amulet and it's true but it depends on the one yielding the power it could cause mass destruction in the wrong hands but in the right hand it could save the masses too, and in the old books I was reading about how this was a Great War between your demons ancestors for the amulet that's when your council decided it was best to break the amulet and send to the corners of the earth where it couldn't be found, so it wouldn't be easy to gather it either, and your brother torturing you just mean that you have part of the amulet somewhere that you are not even aware of" she smiled.

Mu Millie remembered in one of her lives the demon king's brother found the amulet pieces, he destroyed most of the underworld and then tried to take over the world, at the time all the beings and creatures and witches and humans came together using their amulets to stop him and kill him, Mu Millie thought history will repeat its self if they're not careful. She knew they also had this kind of amulet but she didn't need to use it in the court, her staff was enough.

Demon King was enjoying the hug from Mu Millie but he knew his brother would be back he had to get Mu Millie to leave or she would be in danger he couldn't let anyone harm his angel he loved her dearly. He also knew that whatever she had done had healed all his wounds and also the enchanted chain which was holding him also had its enchantment broken what his angel had done was always amazing, she had helped without even knowing her own powers he always knew his little angel was very powerful.

"Hey angel you have to leave now I will be able to handle my brother now thanks for the help that you have given me so far" he kissed her cheek.

Mu Millie pulled back and looked he did look healed and he looked like his usual silly self, she smiled "Are you sure? I can stay and help" She didn't know if he would be okay.

Demon king chuckled "Angel you have helped you don't even know without knowing how much you have helped now go before he comes back I didn't want him to know you exist okay angel go I will see you once I have dealt with my brother and his minions" he smiled his aloof smile.

Mu Millie moved forward and kissed his cheek "Take care be okay, okay" She hugged him again then she disappeared.

The demon king smiled and thought his angel hadn't changed over the years and lifetimes, she was always sweet as ever she was special for him and his one great weakness but only he knew that nobody unless they looked into his heart he chuckled to himself he didn't have a heart otherwise he would be human lucky for Mu Kai otherwise he would have stole Mu Millie along time ago.

His brother walked into the cave to extract information about where the Piece of the amulet was but to his surprise, his brother had no marks on him, his clothes weren't ripped from all the whipping he had given him and he stood there with the chain broken like they were made of plastic. His brother stood there in his majestic glory; He was ready to run but he couldn't he was frozen to his place he didn't know how his brother had his powers back either! How was it possible he had given the powerful potion his mother had made him, how did not work on his brother? Who had broken the spell? where did the help come from he couldn't sense any presence in the cave. He was puzzled his mother was the most powerful potion maker the demon realm had how could it not work unless he had help but who and how was more powerful than his mother he was afraid for his life.

The demon king chuckled as he saw his brother's face" Puzzled much; did you think that you and your mother could control me; huh did you forget who my mother is? and did you forget that I am demon king for a reason; unlike you potion pushers I come from a royal background so you think you peddler could take me down well dear brother from another mother there is a surprise for you" he lit the dark cave up and the chains where he originally held the demon king.

Now had his brother and his stepmother was hooked up to the chains screaming her head off, but her voice was muted where nobody could hear her, shocking his brother as when? how? did he find his mother, and when did he escape he was only gone for a few hours he must have had help but who? And how? there is no way any living thing knew about this place.

Demon king chuckled he could read his brother-like book" Well unlike you I don't need help that's why I am demon king and you are well, who you are? With a sway of his hand, he wrapped the same chain his brother used for him around his brother and hung him from the ceiling, he then walked out of the cave disappearing leaving his brother screaming and telling him he was sorry he didn't mean it he wouldn't hurt him if he gave one last chance but he didn't care.

He smiled as he reached his castle and all subordinates who had been loyal to him smiled when they saw him coming and ran over to greet him, so did all the ones who betrayed him, but from the frowns on their face they were shocked and worried of what was to come, he smiled and walked in he didn't want them to know he knew he was going make them and their whole family perish after he had fun torture them, that was the price to pay for betraying him, he knew Mu Millie wouldn't approve but what she didn't know couldn't upset her, he smiled as he thought about his angel he knew he owed her big time he would be there for whenever she would need him.

As he entered his room there was the woman who fed him the poison so he could fall into his brother's trap, lying on the bed enjoying her peaceful sleep, as he was walking towards her he watched the beauty almost identical to Mu Millie slightly stirred, she didn't know he had returned she thought it was his brother" hmm your back is he dead will you be the next king of the underworld don't forget your promise making me your queen, and I hope he suffered and screamed like a pig as you stabbed him with the knife dipped in holy water that the witches gave you it wasn't easy extracting the blood of those witches I had to kill few hundred before I found a royal one; they way she screamed and the curses that came from her wow it was the best fun I had in ages your brother is too boring he wouldn't let me mess with the creatures as to keep the peace treaty they made what a joke" she chuckled.

Demon king smiled a smile that wasn't a smile as he headed towards her she just managed to turn on her back as she looked, she was scared out of her soul if she had one; she didn't have time to react as demon king had his hand round her throat as he pressed it slowly so he could watch as her eyes bulged out of their sockets, she banged her hands around but to no prevail, then she slowly stopped as she had died, the demon king smiled and thought that death was too easy for her, but at least he knew that his palace was infiltrated by his enemy's but he was going to have fun clearing it out.

And he had a very good idea of how he was going to help to do it although it was very easy for him this way he would spend time with Mu Millie and could hug her for no reason just because he could he chuckled at his thoughts, he called the guards and maids asked them to remove the body and bedding and burn them and do in the main court so they could all see what was going to happen to those had betrayed him. But before that, he ordered to close the palace doors so no one could leave and also could enter either so he could clear from the inside out.

He told the guards to gather every demon to gather in the main court yard, he wanted every demon for,all,over the underworld to witness what would happen if he was betrayed again, he would not only kill the individual but their entire family , he was no saint he was the demon king.
