Archdemon Empress Luna
************************
Luna released Ravin's chin from her hold, and her gaze immediately flew to Apollyon's warm blue eyes as she peered at the quirk of his lips.
Instead of getting angry, her husband lifted his chin in arrogance and ran his fingers through his dark hair, looking smug.
Biting her lip, Luna glanced at the floor quickly before she returned him a smile of her own.
Maybe, she should do this more often.
Her husband wouldn't feel upset by Ravin if she shut the Archdemon down right away before the Vampire king could open her mouth to reiterate his ownership.
Mm-mm.
Luna should express her burning desire for her husband by letting him know that she chose him over anything else.
Luna brows knitted together when she analyzed Archdemon of Gluttony's statement regarding the secret portal -which Ravin claimed that the Archdemon of Lust had found.
She guessed that Luxen had entered the tunnels by accident.
As far as she could remember,? that grey-eyed scoundrel told her that he had no idea why he got there at the Valley of Kings and expressed his surprise to see Luna there… to see a person who could see him—aside from the monsters moving around the underground passages.
Strangers were supposed to shake hands once they met someone new, but her experience with Luxen was an exemption.
The Archdemon of Lust had summoned a demon to possess Jon and commanded him to kill her. But, instead, he found enjoyment in controlling allied companions like puppets and watch them attempt to eliminate each other.
Nevertheless, Luxen's plan backfired because Luna quickly took advantage of a loophole by killing herself.
There was no point in Jon--the demon-possessed ancient vampire-killing her if she was already dead.
Thereby freeing the possessed Jon from the demon.
Luna clutched her arms in her chest and whispered in anguish, "Who controlled these portals if it wasn't an Archdemon?"
Ravin said flatly, "It was that Goddess Hecate you served as the High Priestess. Who else?"
That's right.
Hecate was associated with boundaries, doorways, crossroads and the realms in the mortal and immortal spheres and beyond that.
She was the guardian of the entrances and the holder of the keys that can unlock the gates of other realms, including Hell and the Underworld.
"The Goddess Hecate was equally powerful in both Heaven and Hell, Amare. Out of all Archdemons, Satan had chosen you because you had the most success to become a Portal Creator. After all, you were associated with the Goddess. It's not a secret? that you and Lilith used to be her High Priestesses before you involved yourself with the Vampire King but seeing you fulfil her given task without question just confirmed my doubt that you are still one until now."
'What if it was Hecate who compelled the Archdemon of Lust to cross that portal in Hell and enter the caves for the sole purpose of killing myself so that Hecate could finally meet me?' Luna thought.
Unfortunately, creatures like him will forever be confined at the tunnels unless they got out and return to the moving portals they entered.
All Archdemons were trapped in Hell if there was no High Priest/Priestess who can deliberately summon them and then strike a bargain.
She suddenly had difficulty swallowing from the ache at the back of her throat.
'Wouldn't it feel like the Goddess of Magic and the Underworld was the one who ruined her with poison and gave her the same antidote to cure her and make her feel grateful?'
The Archdemon shook his head in frustration. "Don't you see Amare? Everything is going according to her plan. You couldn't deny that Hecate was the one who orchestrated this entire catastrophe any longer. What if she was the one who convinced Lilith to summon me in the first place? Lilith was the First High Priestess of Hecate. There must be some agreement between both of them." Luna's posture stiffened as her jaws clenched from the notion Ravin had given her. "Everything was fated leading up to this point. Have you thought about the fact that all creatures in the Material Realm had no free will, and all of your decisions are helplessly influenced by the whims of the gods and the goddesses? Who is the real enemy here? Do you think it was the Demon Kind?"
He stared at her with golden eyes that were too intense for her to handle.
From the tone of his voice, she wasn't sure if he was frustrated or amused in perceiving her as ignorant,? "Are we the one enslaving other creatures' minds, making them pawns in a twisted game of chess when most of us are trapped in Hell? Do you still want to continue looking for that? Garden of the Four Seasons and face your inevitable doom? Nothing ever goes right when you involve yourself with that particular Goddess, Amare. Just look at Princess Ourania. Hecate must have made her condition worse while she was trained to be her oracle."
"I don't believe--" Apollyon began, but he was cut off by Ravin's persistence.
"Our influences are limited compared to the gods and goddesses, but at least, we make our conjurer's wish come true.? We are only manipulating them to fulfil ours. You told me that your true essence relied solely on your freedom, and I also do. I want the Demon Kind to be free from the prison the Creator made for us. You should bring the Demon kind in this Realm, Amare so that you will find out the truth. Who do you think is the most powerful in all of the Realms. Who will prevail?" Ravin let out an impatient sneer.? "Princess Ourania has done a great job hinting at the true nature of your enemy. It was the Goddess Hecate who stood behind the Archdemon of Lust at the first one. Now, if we move to the second one…." Ravin trailed off.
Luna followed Ravin's gaze at the farthest corner and witnessed another canvas that disturbed her out of everything she had seen.
It was an artwork of her looking at the golden mirror hanging on the wall.
The image on her reflection was… the red-haired Lilith.
The Archdemon of Envy.
