Archdemon Empress Luna

************************

"You are the King of the Vampire Realm, husband. I thought you were aware of the fact that an Archdemon had roamed under the tunnels of the Valley of Kings."

Apollyon tilted his head as his blue eyes narrowed at her, "You got it all wrong. I have no idea of that devil's existence."

"But Jon told me—"

"Monsters from different Realms get trapped there for some reason. Not Archdemons. There is a portal in there somewhere, but nobody hadn't figured out its location. Finding the portal used to be Jon's task before he took the position as my right hand. This is why Jon was the one who accompanied you during the High Priestess Initiation because he knew more than anyone else." Her husband responded in a steady, lower-pitched voice. "—aside from me. The caves under the Valley of Kings presented a huge mystery in the Vampire Realm for a long time, and I was the one who started the exploration before I was possessed by the Blood Beast."

Ravin's lips curved upward in amusement when he heard the name coined to his existence inside Apollyon's physical vessel. "Yes, that's me."

"I had only seen the portal only twice. Despite Jon placing all the necessary marking on the walls where we found the gateway the first time, we aren't able to pinpoint the exact place anymore when we tried searching for it the next time." Apollyon added further, "We found this elusive portal after two years and drew the necessary markings to guard them. Yet after careful planning to avoid? mistakes, the portal also disappeared the next day despite following the exact instructions carved on the stone walls."

Luna's eyes widened in surprise as she recalled her time inside those caves where Jon kept telling her that he didn't remember, and she thought that his purpose was to scare her.

It turned out he told her the truth after all.

"—After years of hard work to investigate the damned portal, it convinced me that—"

Luna snapped a finger when the realization hit her. "There are no multiple portals under the Valley of Kings--"

"—but the portal is moving from one place to another around the tunnels." Ravin finished with a smirk before his countenance switched into something somber,? "So, the Archdemon of Lust had found a gateway in the Ninth Circle of Hell and didn't even bother telling the Demon King about it." He muttered, "If he did, we didn't have to wait for a long time to train Amare to become a Portal Creator!"

Who created that portal, and how many portal creators existed in the Material Realm?!

"As you said… the portal is moving from one place to another. So even if the Archdemon of Lust found it, he wouldn't be able to come across it the second time to show you. There is also this barrier at the mouth of the cave itself. Creatures from the outside can enter the cave's entrance by diving for a couple of feet underwater, diving through the barriers, and landing on the dry rocks and soil. Yet, trapped monsters in the tunnels couldn't escape from there unless it was the portal they went through. That is what makes it more dangerous and more effective as a training ground for magicians and priestesses to show their hidden talents." Apollyon explained.

"Well, your right-hand man didn't do a good job of protecting me from this dangerous place! "He would either beat me up to obey him when I became too rebellious for his taste or feed me to the monsters first to save his own hide. Not only was he a flirt with that erotic vampire scent he had in his arsenal, but your right-hand man was also chivalrous that I wish I had killed him if you didn't find me first." Luna complained about gritted teeth as her fingers curled into fists when she was reminded once again of Jon's stupidity… and hers if she was honest with herself.

If she just ignored the Archdemon of Lust and pretended she didn't see him like she should have done, then she wouldn't have to involve herself and be mated to these Archdemons in the first place, goddess!

"—but you saved Jon despite his behavior."

"—because I couldn't leave the right-hand man to die!" Luna replied bluntly. Guilt and the promise of a future reward made her do it. "Jon might be a? cold, savage brute, but I did it to gain favor. He had a high status in the Vampire Hierarchy, and I want him to pay me a life debt--"

She pursed her lips in thought.

Luna guessed she didn't need something like that when she got the Vampire King to fulfill it instead.

"From the beginning of your proposition to become the High Priestess, you were already after our status, Amare. How clever." He offered her a bemused smile, "I guess you are not that innocent as I think? you are."

She snorted and lifted her chin proudly. "I never made you think I was an innocent little lamb for you to devour, Ravin."

"Does it make you feel honored when a King from the Vampire Realm and a Prince of Hell are fighting for? your hand?"

"Of course, Ravin." She said sarcastically as she raised one silver eyebrow. "Gaining power is the only way for a woman not to suffer in? the Consortium." The status of a Monarch and becoming the Vampire Realm's Empress meant nothing to her. "The crown. The money. The powerful husband that came along with it…." Luna shrugged, "--if I managed to snatch the rank out of all the concubines in the Consortium, indeed."

Other ladies prioritize security in this harsh Realm they live in while she had valued something else.

"Nothing else mattered to me except for freedom… and if gaining power over others is the only way to achieve that, then I wouldn't hesitate to fight others to attain that level of control. This is why I don't want to be trapped in Hell with the rest of the Archdemons, Ravin, and this is the stark difference between you and Apollyon. Even if you bestowed the entire Kingdom of Hell and you swore to make me your Queen, it would never appeal to me." Luna jerked the edges of her hand below his chin and forced him to look up at her sternly. "I didn't become the Empress in front of you now if I didn't desire the Vampire King for myself. Remember that before you tell me you love me."
