CHAPTER 13

The night arrived and Sultan is excitedly waiting for the woman that attracted his attention inside his private chamber. He cannot wait and the smile on his mouth is wide.

As his private chamber's door opened, he didn't missed a second, he himself approached the door but his smile immediately fade when it was Eunuch Muktadher who flash after him bowing without Lilith.

"Where is My Lilith?" He asked.

"Y-your majesty, s-she is forbidden to go near you" The Eunuch said.

At that moment, the surface shook... it was because of the angry sultan. "Who in the world is defying me!!!" He asked, vexed.

"It was the life in Lily-hatun's womb" With a smile, Muktadher answered... The anger of Sultan vanished as he hear those words... "She is pregnant" the Eunuch added.

They rushed to the concubine's chamber. The Sultan's eyes are filled with excitement at the same time, he's nervous for unknown reason.

As they Arrived on Lilith's chamber, The Sultan approached his beloved woman immediately.

"Lilith..." he whispered.

Lilith slowly opened her eyes and the handsome face of Sultan is the first thing that flash after her red eyes.

She smiled and closed it again, It is really strange for Lilith to feel weakened... afterall, this body is Lily's, not her.

As the Sultan is holding Lilith's hands, the Valide Sultana arrived as soon as she heard the news.

"The life inside her womb must not be born." She said, looking down at the Sultan.

"Step mom..." The Sultan said as he heard the Valide Sultana's voice.

He stood up and face his step mother with a cold gaze. "I gave you that position to respect you as my beloved father's wife... But whoever defy me will lose her name in my single word. You know what I mean... my Valide" With that cold voice ang gaze, the Sultan said. "I ask you all to leave, and not bothering my woman and me." He added.

All of them there fled the chamber. The valide with her angry expression left too without a words.

The Valide Sultana was devastated for being savaged by the Sultan again. This Lilith may get her throne, it is seems that the Sultan can disrespect her if this Lilith will say so.

"This d*mn demon must be gone" She said as she clenched her fist.

"Kavhir!" She called the right hand of Sultan.

"Valide Sultana" Kavhir responded.

"Get rid of that demon before she gets rid of us!" She ordered.

"My respect toward his Highness is high as his authority. I cannot do a thing that will unpleased him, if you'll hear my apology" Kavhir responded without a single fear from this God tier power of Valide.

"HOW DARE YO—" The Hasiki Sultana was about to shout at Kavhir when the valide Sultana stopped her.

"Can you defy his majesty for the sake of this Empire and for his sake too?" The valide Sultana asked.

It took a while before Kavhir responded...

"Ikravel is my life that I value the most... But I was created to serve his Highness" Then he answered.

"I'll provide you everything you need to do what is necessary... follow your heart, Kavhir" The Sultana said and left Kavhir.

The love between Sultan and Lilith got deeper unexpectedly. No one ever foresee that a man from an anti-demon continent will fell in love to a demon itself.

"This is such a great life, my Lilith." The love filled the gazes of Sultan, his words are full of sincerity while looking at the laying red-eyed woman.

"May I request something?" Lilith asked.

"What is it, my dear?" The Sultan said.

"I know this thing is not your tradition but in our continent... Only a child will live if it contain the bless of it's mother's parents" Lilith stated. "I wish to see my father on my continent" She added, remembering the memories of Lily growing up with her parents.

Lilith must get rid of this body's weakness... it is the love. The only thing that can get rid of the love is the source of it. She must destroy Lily's happiness before the kindness and love surpass the power of devil living inside her body.

"Just get rest, I will work on it" It seems like the Sultan was unpleased to heard Lilith's words. If there is one thing the Sultan hated the most, it is the land that is connected to the assembly of all demons.

Even though he knew that Lilith is from a demon continent, he couldn't resist the flame of love he felt at his first sight for Lilith, But stepping on the land of demons is beyond the limits of his love.

He gave Lilith a kiss on her forehead before leaving the chamber.

He walked down the wide hallways as he is meditating about his beloved woman's wish.

After visiting Lilith, exactly that night, he decided to call Kavhir, his right hand man.

"Your majesty? is there anything I can do for you?" While bending down, Kavhir respectively asked.

"Rise up Kavhir, take your seat" The Sultan ordered.

Without a word, Kavhir followed the Sultan's order.

Moments have passed and the Sultan remained silent.

"My Sultan, is there anything the is bothering you?" Kavhir asked.

The Sultan took a deep breath. "Lilith..." He split out. "I can't exactly explain why I just couldn't resist her. It is as if there is something that's pulling me toward her." He said.

"It may be a chant to make you fall in love to her, it is hard to understand love, but it is unbelievable to love someone without a reason, even though it's actually happening to you. Love is indeed powerful and mysterious, Your majesty" Kavhir said and his eyes started to shine.

The Sultan suspectingly looked at Kavhir. "Are you also in love?" He asked.

Kavhir prevented his smile but he failed. He shook his head as he blushed.

"HA.HA.HA.HA" Both of them laughed.

"You never failed to make me smile in my tough times, Kavhir. Thank you for being my friend." The Sultan said.

Kavhir smiled wildly and nodded. "By the way, my Sultan, Aren't you with Lilith tonight?" he asked.

"I could not defy the baby inside Lilith's womb" Sultan responded.

Kavhir was stunned after hearing those words. It was just 6 days ago when Lilith came here and she got pregnant by the Sultan that early?

"A-are you going to accept the life you made with her as the ruler of Ikravel Empire? other Empires might attack us once they knew you are keeping a demon" With worries, Kavhir asked. "Forgive my insolence your highness. I shouldn't have asked that—"

"That is what's bothering me right now. I am torn up between being her lover and being the ruler" The Sultan instantly explained. "If only I can do both of them, but people have suffered from demons and devils. Them being alive here is unacceptable in this continent." The Sultan added.

"What can I do, your majesty?" Kavhir asked.

"Get rid of what can be disadvantage to everyone, don't hesitate just because of me, Do what you must do. Serve the Empire, not me" The Sultan said and stood up.

Kavhir was left, frustrated... He's torn up between choosing the Sultan's happiness and the Empire. At the very beginning of his life, he served and is always with the Sultan, He has never been in this situation.

"Brother... please, kill her for me." While Kavhir is thinking about what he should do, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head and saw his sister, the Hasiki Sultana.

"Fatima, how long have you been here?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter, brother. Please kill her for me. I can't accept the fact that he got impregnated by the Sultan that early" She said as she teared up.

"Sssshhh! don't cry, go back to your chamber, it's too late for you to be here!" Kavhir said and left.

"I'm going to kill her if you won't. I will not let her get his Highness's love completely!!" She said that stopped Kavhir from walking.

"Don't be out of your mind, Fatima!" He said as he faced his sister again.

"I've already crazy as I fell in love with the Sultan. " She responded as her tears are falling down.

She then, left.
