Chapter 20 — Little Demon King Khang Vuong Phu

Khanh Vuong's face turned purple with anger. Tham Tung Le knelt and trembled behind him, so scared that he couldn't say a word. I glanced at him. He immediately bowed his head.

“My lord, please spare my life, I will only listen to what my father told me.”

I coldly replied: "The person you should beg for is not me." He was stunned. I turned my gaze towards my father. Tham Tung Le then dragged himself to my father.

“Uncle Luc and Tung Le were reckless and thoughtless in their youth, please beg Luc Uncle to have mercy and spare their lives.”

My father was silent for a long time. For so long that everyone was staring at him. He finally spoke up.

"You insult me, I can't be too picky."

“But you guys intend to harm my wife and daughter, set fire to my royal palace, this debt cannot be paid without paying.”

Tham Tung Le fell to the ground exhausted. I suddenly felt that my father at this moment was even greater and greater than at any other moment. Not because he was holding the Thua An sword in his hand. It's because he finally stopped gathering all his mistakes to himself. The late Queen stared at me and my father, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Tham Hoai Can, if you had been this strong earlier, maybe your wife wouldn't have died so tragically."

My father's face turned pale. I took a step forward, blocking his view.

“Stop poking at my father's pain.”

“It's you who's the one to die, not him.”

The late Queen stared at me, suddenly showing a strangely gentle smile.

“Tham A Man, before she died, your mother also protected others just like that.”

“She said that if you grow up to be an adult, you would rather spend your whole life being rude and rude, and never learn how to bend.”

My heart suddenly aches and feels sad. It turns out my mother never saw me grow up. But I soon knew exactly what kind of person I would become. The fiery fire burning behind the Queen's back was getting closer and closer. The Crown Prince lowered his voice calmly: "Mother, stop." The late Queen turned her eyes towards him. This time, there were tears in her eyes.

"Thua Canh, mother can't stop anymore."

“If the old man stops, everything will be ruined.”

The Crown Prince clearly exclaimed: "Then just leave the Co family empty-handed." The last bit of light glimmering in the bottom of the Queen's eyes had completely extinguished. She suddenly pulled down the last brooch on her head and stabbed it straight into her heart. The prince rushed forward one step, dropping the golden brooch. The royal guard immediately rushed forward and pinned her to the ground to control her. The late Queen was escorted away, but still kept smiling brightly.

“Your Majesty, do you think you have won?”

“The word Luong on the Crown Prince's body will forever exist.”

“Vuong Concubine Khang will never be able to rise from her grave again.”

"Tham A Man will never become a dignified lady in the capital."

I strode in front of her.

“Who wants to be a lady?”

“I'm pretty good as a little demon king.”

Her laughter suddenly stopped. At dawn, the fire in the palace was finally completely extinguished. The late Queen was deposed and Co Sung An was imprisoned In the evening, King Khanh was stripped of his title and the whole palace was placed under house arrest. Dong Cung conducted a major purge, replacing all old personnel. The word Luong on the Crown Prince's wrist has not been erased. He said it was a warning reminder. My father returned the Thua An sword to the Emperor. But the Emperor entrusted him with temporary management of the family for three years. My father was so frightened that he almost fainted and fell to the ground. I quickly caught him.

“Father, stand up straight.”

He looked at me, the corners of his eyes were red and stinging.

“A Man, if your mother sees you, she will definitely be extremely happy.”

I raised my eyes and looked towards the dawning horizon.

“Will mother criticize me for causing too much trouble?”

My father finally burst into laughter.

“No way.”

“She just criticized my father for not raising me fiercely enough in the past.”

Later, the Upper Capital became full of new anecdotes about me. There are rumors that the little demon king Khang Vuong Palace overturned the Crown Prince's carriage. Some people said that she made a mess and collapsed half of the sky in the Co family's house. Some people say that the Khang Vuong family has recently been able to walk and stand with their spine straight and proud. After hearing those rumors, I was sitting on the rafters of the royal palace, munching on gourd candy. My father stood below, impatiently stamping his feet.

“Ah Man, come down here quickly.”

I asked down below: "What are you going down for?" He raised his head to look at me, his voice still gentle and warm.

“Dad just bought me this new slingshot.”

I was stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard that I almost fell from the rafters to the ground. When my father extended his arms to support me, those hands were still extremely steady and steadfast. This time, he no longer told his daughter to be meek and gentle. He said: "Just don't cause murder." I nodded my head.

“Don't worry, dad.”

“Without causing murder, there are still ways to make people suffer for a long time.”
