Back in the courtyard, I checked Enis again for any injuries. Enis comforted me, "I'm fine, honey." "If he dares touch you again, I'll destroy him," I said angrily. "Let it go, it's getting late. Let's take a shower and sleep," Enis said, pulling me back inside.Late at night, in the Tianlai Holy Palace, a shadow darted through the corridor. He reached the king's chamber, swiftly and silently opening the door. "Ugh!" A scream echoed, and the shadow vanished."Ah! His Majesty and the Queen have been murdered!" A cry rang out from the chamber early in the morning. Kaia and the others, still groggy, were jolted awake. After the previous incident with Sidoli's abduction, Kaia snapped to attention, fully alert. The group rushed to King Jotwa's chamber, only to be shocked by the sight: King Jotwa stabbed in the chest, Queen Biji with her throat slit, both in gruesome states. "Father! Mother!" Sidoli wailed, her cries tearing through the air."Who could do something so cruel?!" Kaia roared, slamming his fist against a pillar. "Look at this!" Emily spotted a piece of paper on the table. She picked it up and read aloud: Want revenge? Come find me in the Demon Realm, haha—Emperor Ba."It's him?! Didn't he declare the war over?" Judo said, puzzled. Kaia snatched the paper and crumpled it. "Then let's go!" Emily interjected, "Wait, doesn't this seem too strange? This doesn't feel like Emperor Ba's style. Could someone be framing him to pit us against each other?" "I think Emily's onto something, but I can't figure out who'd do this," Sisi agreed."Hold on, I can sense traces of demonic energy similar to that in the Demon King's Palace. Could it really be someone from the Demon Realm?" Emily began to wonder. "Who else could it be? Let's go to the Demon Realm and settle this!" Kaia stormed out. "Wait, Kaia!" Emily chased after him.Kaia reached the magic storage room, grabbing a mana bottle to set off alone. "Wait, Kaia, going alone is too dangerous. I'll come with you," Emily panted as she caught up. "How could we stay behind?" Judo and Sisi joined them. "Whether Emperor Ba did this or not, the enemy is likely from the Demon Realm. Let's confront him first," Sisi said. The group nodded, and Emily activated the teleportation magic toward the Demon Realm.After yesterday's events, Enis and I were exhausted and slept early, even oversleeping in the morning. "Ugh, time to get up, honey," I nudged her. "Just a bit longer," Enis mumbled, rolling over. Then I sensed familiar presences—those of the heroes. They were back in the Demon Realm? Heading toward Emperor Ba? Something felt off. I snapped awake. "Wake up, honey, we've got guests heading to Emperor Ba. Let's go check it out," I said, helping Enis up. "You get dressed, I'll prepare breakfast in the kitchen." I slipped on my slippers and left.Soon, I returned with sandwiches and milk, only to find Enis asleep again. Annoyed, I pulled her up, wiped her face, and helped her change and brush her hair. Enis's sleepiness faded. "Sorry, honey, what's going on?" she asked, sensing the heroes' presence. "Let's eat breakfast and head over. Hopefully, it doesn't turn into a fight," I said, feeding her a sandwich.
