"You see, Your Highness." Ravin smirked, "We are not humans."

Spine turning rigid, the Queen's soft voice turned into a snap, refuting his claims.

"Lie." There was a harsh and freezing bite to it. It was obvious that the Queen had taken that as an insult to her abilities as one of the? Ancient Fae who ruled her Court. Her pitch rose and echoed through the trees around them that had shed their leaves from the visceral power of the Fall Courts.? "You should never lie in front of a Queen if you wish enter this Kingdom."

Out of all the people in their group, only Ravin dared to advance closer to where the Autumn Fair Folk stood.

"Can't a Faerie Queen like you differentiate a lie from the? truth just from the tone of our voice?" He cocked his head at her, "I'm going to tell you again, Your Highness."

Luna winced as her hand tightened on Apollyon's arm.

Her husband gave her a warning glance just in case she was crazy enough to interfere with the Archdemon from mocking the Autumn Queen, and she shook her head at him 'no'.

Never.

"We are not humans." Ravin emphasized as if he was talking to a dim-witted child. Hopefully,? that could still pass as a jest to the Lady, but that probability was close to nil. "Can you hear the truth ringing in your ears or do you hear lies?"

"Lie." The Queen replied, and her tone was final.

"Well, you just embarrassed—"

"Ravin." Luna interrupted and called the bastard out before he could say something to her that they could never take back. "We will respect the Queen of the Autumn Courts if we wished to ask for her help."

"Empress." The Queen of the Fall Courts shifted her attention from Ravin, who glamored himself as an old man, to Luna, and rested her gaze on her face.

Despite the fox mask hiding most of her features, her stares were so intense that it felt like two burning coals were almost resting on her skin.

Her hand motions seemed a bit flighty when she asked her, "Can you repeat the name you just mentioned?"

Luna threw a glance at the three suspicious male Fae behind the Queen before she answered quietly, "His name is Ravin."

"Ravin. Ravin." The Queen murmured on repeat, snapping her fingers in impatience as if that would aid her as she searched her memories. Her movement was jerky as she paced back and forth, muttering to herself? like no one was watching her, "Why does the name sounds familiar to me?"

Ravin's lips curved upward in interest, "The name is pretty common, don't you think so, Your Highness?"

Was the bastard flirting as he longed to be recognized by an Ancient Faerie Queen he just met?

As he halted, the Queen proceeded to point a trembling finger at him, "Are you, Ravin?"

Ravin placed a clenched fist over his chest and bowed, "It is I, Your Highness."

This time,? the Archdemon of Gluttony's fascination by the Queen's regard was genuine.

Luna never really thought the devil was capable of giving an ounce of respect if he wanted to.

"Your Highness!"

Everyone from the Fair Folk's side shouted when the Queen of the Autumn Courts crossed the threshold and advanced to Ravin.

What is happening?

The Queen was afraid to venture out from the safety of their barriers beforehand, but now, she just walked outside their gates like she didn't perceive them as an enemy from the start.

Meanwhile, Ravin seized the chance to meet the Queen halfway and stood in front of her, face-to-face, without hostility.

She admired that the Queen had taken all this risk to have a closer look at Ravin and Luna grew more curious about the Queen's reason.

Did she know him somewhere before all the Archdemons were trapped in Hell?

"Your eyes. You said you are not a human?" The Queen asked as she scrutinized Ravin.

Nevertheless, she still kept a distance where Ravin couldn't just grab her and use her as a hostage to enter her Court.

The three mysterious men from earlier had disappeared from her sight, and Luna had no idea where they had gone when her eyes only left them for a few seconds.

Everyone, most especially the Fair Folk, observed their exchange with rapt attention.

"Even from up close, I can not see any glamour from you." She lowered her head like something from Ravin's neck caught her eye. "That necklace." The sight made her freeze as she forced herself to say, "Where did you get this from?"

Ravin's fingers caressed the blue feather of his necklace and said, "This is mine."

"That isn't yours." The Queen's hand flew towards the leather cord of Ravin's necklace and pulled it.

Some nymphs were too overdramatic, and she heard a collective gasp of shock, fear, and anticipation.

The Queen of the Fall Courts was the first who initiated contact, and she pondered whether the Archdemon of Gluttony would attack the Fall Queen in that instant.

It was the Ancient Fae who crossed Ravin's boundaries first.

Holding her breath, Luna blinked rapidly, and she swore everyone did the same after the Queen declared that Ravin's possession belonged to her?

Did Ravin steal the necklace from the Queen of the Fall Courts?

How--when he claimed that Rere, who was sleeping peacefully in Sloth's basket in his back, had given it to him?

What was the Queen of the Fall Courts up to?

Oh, Goddess!

'What would Ravin do?' Luna thought as she scraped a hand through her long silver hair.

Should she attempt a rescue the devil from the Ancient Fae's clutches?

Apollyon always knew what she was thinking about because he stopped her again by holding onto her hand.

Ravin stared at the woman and shackled his fingers around her slender wrist, "You can read my voice and understand that I am not lying, Your Highness."

"Where did? you found this?" Her breathing was noisy as she? yelled at him, "I am certain that this is not yours, human, because this belonged to me!"
