Archdemon Empress Luna

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

Alarmed, Luna told the Queen of the Fall Courts not to take Sloth's statements seriously and that he never meant that as a challenge.

It was truly hard work making excuses for an Archdemon.

It felt like convincing other people that the devil in front of them was an angel.

And here, he thought the Archdemon of Sloth was more manageable than Ravin.

Goddess!

Luna felt another ache pulsing in her temples as she massaged them.

Nobody knew about Luna's strong desire to command her Familiars to keep their mouths shut so that they wouldn't dig deeper holes on the graves they were going to bury themselves in.

Yet, she decided against it.

She didn't want the Autumn Fair Folk to know their secret early on when they hadn't passed through the gates of their Kingdom.

If Luna followed through her dark impulses and sealed the Archdemon's lips shut, what would the Autumn Queen think if she addressed a question on Ravin and Sloth and they couldn't answer her?

Luna admonished Sloth with a death glare, and the devil responded with a mischievous smile as if he was a child and she was a parent who caught him stealing cookies from the cookie jar.

That bastard's careless tongue would bring them misfortune in more ways than one.

The Queen's male Fae Guardians—which she referred to as Cadre the same way her husband called Jon, Cederic, and the High Priest—were already wary of Sloth when he threw his dagger at their Queen without provocation.

It seemed like the Cadre had singled him out and considered him a menace out of the six of them—next to Ravin.

Ravin was the closest to the Queen, and they even had an altercation over his necklace, but Sloth desired to kill their Queen without reason aside from the fact that he thought it would be fun.

"If it is true that both of you are not human…." The Queen trailed off, and awkward silence hung in the air.

She mentioned that twice and despite the Archdemons' evidence, she still couldn't believe it.

As Ravin stood in front of the Queen, he rubbed his wrinkled face with his spotted hand in frustration and said, "It is true? and we have proved it to you with our strength. I don't think you wish to show you more of what we are capable of."

"You have strong magic but it was something I'm familiar with a long time ago." The Queen said, "I couldn't quite put my finger on it."

"You don't have to, Your Highness." The glamour of Sloth's eyes was so heavily lidded and weighed down with wrinkled folds, making him appear like he was talking in his sleep, but he was quite alert.

The Queen's blond protector placed the end of his staff under the Archdemon's chin and forced to raise it, pressing the weapon hard to his throat at the same time.

Sloth's muscles were relaxed as if he didn't mind the? Fae's suppression.

These days might be the longest time where the bastard had been too active since they had traveled for days straight with no rest. "It is still a part of the game and you are still playing. It's fun, isn't it?"

"Vampire King." The Queen's eyes twinkled as she stared at Luna. "I am certain that you have mated with your Empress based from my observation on how you interacted with each other."

"Yes. My Empress and I are mated." Apollyon said in a low growl.

"Is that? union out of love and not forced?"

"The union is out of love, Your Highness." She looked back at her sensual face and her exotic fox mask. "I was just oblivious of what I felt for the Vampire King before but I am certain that I love him."

"Mm. I can see that the Vampire King's aura have similarities with? the Empress and your soul cords are attached to each other but why do I feel like these two old men have a connection with the Empress that is similar to that bond?" The Queen asked, and it felt theoretical to Luna when she didn't wait for an answer. "I don't understand."

"I might not see your true forms behind this glamour but I noticed something else which interested me." The Fall Queen lifted a hand to cling unto Apollyon's forearm around her neck, but she made no move of hurting her husband. "Are you mated with these two unknown creatures, Empress?"

"No."

The Queen chuckled darkly, and the sound scared her, "You know what creatures who can create illusions better than the Fair Folk?"

Luna knew what she meant.

Demons.

It was too late to glance up from the sky when another one of the Queen's Faerie protectors landed near her and Apollyon, "Your Highness."

"Kotari." The Queen of the Fall Courts acknowledged his presence, and Luna found that the Fae who spoke to her nonchalantly had a white owl settled on his left shoulder.

"I am here to inform you that there are no sentinels from the Fae Militia, soldiers from the Vampire Realm and other strange creatures trailing after them in a quarter mile vicinity."

The Queen exhaled a heavy sigh. "Then, it is time for me to give our visitors a little test."

Tilting his head, Sloth ran his fingers through his blond hair while the rest who weren't Archdemons could see an old man combing through his bald and molted scalp saved with a sparse fringe of white. "What test?"

"Sylvain." It was the man who had a long auburn hair and beard who straightened from his wide fighting stance and bent one knee as he awaited the Queen's command. "Tell the maidservants and the soldiers to bring the bathtubs and the concoction out here for me. We will know if they had pure intentions or not if they got burned by the liquid I am soaking them with. If you passed the test, you can enter my Court."
