AKU MOONCHESTER really thought he was going to die by the hands of the immature Moon Serpent.
Fortunately, he was able to return to his original form.
But that came with a price.
[Now they know I'm a demon.]
"Haaah," Aku let out a frustrated sigh as he plopped down on the throne. "Just what the hell happened while I was away?"
Yes, he was back in the Royal Capital, but he came home to an empty palace.
He could tell that a powerful ancient spell had been summoned there– killing most people in the palace as a result.
[Is it Stella? The woman trying to be my empress.]
And, apparently, Stella was Elaine's reincarnation.
[I should have killed that wench when I had the chance.]
Aku fell silent, his brain stopped thinking for a moment.
And then it finally hit him.
He realized that it was not the empty that palace that was making him feel hollow right now.
