The demon is interested

"Hua… come on, stop crying over him and forget it." Lu Yang Yang says, curling around the bed and peeking up at her, "How can I?" Yi Hua sniffs, looking up at the ceiling.

"What is it actually? You didn't open up properly and how will I understand?" Lu Yang Yang grumbles, Yi Hua's eyes tremble as she sniffs, "I want to go back." She mutters, wiping her tears before they fall.

Lu Yang Yang sits up straight on its four and looks at Yi Hua worried, "Hua?" He calls out, inching closer while Yi Hua turns towards him and pats his head with a sad smile.

"That demon… he seems so determined." Yi Hua says, caressing his head with her finger, "And why do you think so?" Lu Yang Yang questions, Yi Hua bites her lips.

"He threatened to kill Chen if it meant that I would be his, why would he want to? He just saw me- wait." Yi Hua widens her eyes, "What?" Lu Yang Yang gasps, tilting his head and growing impatient.

"I saw him…before." She acknowledges, jolting up straight on her bed, Lu Yang Yang widens his eyes, "When?! Why don't I remember?" Lu Yang Yang asks, startled.

"That time I attempted to run away…while running back to the chamber, I bumped into him." Yi Hua says, pouting, annoyed, "And? Just because of that?" Lu Yang Yang questions, frowning in confusion.

"I, um… sassed him a little before running away. Maybe he wants revenge on me for talking back to him. He is such an arrogant one besides that handsome face." Yi Hua grumbles, complaining as well as complimenting him.

"You did what?!" Lu Yang Yang shouts out loud, "Don't shout." Yi Hua whines and sits back on the bed, sighing and staring up at the ceiling, "Hua, I told you not to talk back. This is not your world, okay?" Lu Yang Yang lectures.

"I know…it just happened." She says, pressing her lips in a thin line, "He is a king, Hua. I told you not even a nobleman would appreciate you doing that and not to mention the king?!" Lu Yang Yang bursts and Yi Hua shuts her mouth and pouts.

"How would I know that he is-"

"I warned you not to talk back to people with luxurious robes." Lu Yang Yang cuts her off, hissing with his cute eyes, glaring, "Who will be checking out their robes when running off?" Yi Hua groans, whining and pulling the duvet up her chest and facing away from him.

Lu Yang Yang binks his eyes, "Hua."

"Shut up and sleep. I had enough of your bickerings." Yi Hua says, closing her eyes, Lu Yang Yang gulps and climbs onto her, "I said sleep." Yi Hua mutters, "Hua, I am sorry for yelling at you. I got worried." Lu Yang Yang says, purring close to her ear.

Yi Hua takes in a deep sigh and grabs him and pulls him with her hand, before her, patting his head she hmms and he cuddles to her chest, "Hua-"

"It's fine. But your yellings all went down the drain because what happened has happened. Nothing will change." Yi Hua says, scratching his head while Lu Yang Yang purrs, "Yeah, sorry."

"Now, sleep. We have lots to deal with tomorrow." Yi Hua says, covering him with her duvet, "Goodnight, Hua." Lu Yang Yang says and snuggles to sleep in her embrace while Yi Hua keeps staring at nothing with her head surging with the memories of the demon who seemed obsessed with her.

"What do I do… he doesn't seem like he will back off now." Yi Hua mutters, making circles with her finger around his tummy while Lu Yang Yang purrs and wiggles, Yi Hua smiles watching him, "I am glad I am not alone."

With that, she thinks to herself, to sleep.

"Your Majesty?" Zhou Yu calls out, Luo Yan's smirk fades off of his face, and looks at Zhou Yu, gulping Zhou Yu awkwardly, "You are… smiling creeping?" He mutters.

Luo Yan clears his throat and frowns, "Why are you still here? Go and sleep or rest, do whatever in your room." Luo Yan says, dismissing him with his hand while Zhou Yu blinks his eyes.

"Uh…Your Majesty, you asked me to be here. Did you forget?" Zhou Yu questions, startled by this sudden change in his demeanor and sudden change in his statement.

Luo Yan widens his eyes and nods his head, "Ah, yeah. I did." He says, clearing his throat and Zhou Yu nods his head, "So, what is it that you want, My lord?" Zhou Yu asks, growing serious.

"I want information on someone, as soon as possible." Luo Yan says, standing up from his bed and walking towards the window as he stares outside, upon the wide sky twinkling with stars, "And who might it be, My lord?" Zhou Yu intones verbally.

"A man." Luo Yan says, clenching his fist as he recalls that every man holding Yi Hua's hand or trying to, whatever it was, he wasn't okay with the men luring around the woman he wants, his woman.

"A man? But… who?" Zhou Yu questions, unsure, Luo Yan's frown deepens, he closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath as he ponders over his memory.

He was sure she called that man by his name, it's just he didn't pay much attention to their conversation when he noticed that freaky man wanting to be closer to- his woman.

"What was that freak's name?" He questions out loud, Zhou Yu who was waiting patiently for his king to answer him, blinks his eyes, bewildered and he says, "I don't know, Your Majesty."

"Right…Chen?" He speaks, his smirk grows back and he snickers, "That man, his name was Chen or something. I want every detail and rumor about him." Luo Yan says, looking toward Zhuo Yu through the corner of his eyes.

Zhou Yu gulps but nonetheless, "I will be with the information tomorrow morning, My lord." Zhou Yu says, bowing his head and walking out of his room.

Luo Yan looks back out of the window, looking up he smirks with a dark gaze, "She wants to make him suffer but why?" He mutters, grinning.

"Not that I didn't like it when she is so feisty but… damn the woman." Luo Yan grins, tilting his head and dwelling upon the memories he has of her, the admiration for her was growing without his notice.

And not that he cared about him because he knew, he wanted her, at all cost.
