Vampire King Apollyon

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

He didn't want to admit this, but Apollyon was getting used to his taunting yet empty words when he mentioned Luna…

"No, Sloth." Incensed by the sight of his brother's dazed expression, Ravin turned his head to face Apollyon again, watching him warily, "What I meant was? if the Vampire King kills me,? he knew that I don't die—"

"Because you are eternal, blah blah." Apollyon rolled his eyes and folded one knee to let his soul rest on the bottom of the door.? "You know, Archdemon?"? He crossed his arms and tilted his head at him. "The only moment where you brought me joy is when you're not here."

Ravin tapped the mahogany surface of the armrest on his chair and flashed him a smile. "I'm glad to ruin your remaining hours with our mate."

Maybe,? Ravin was just jealous, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity of seeing their mate's condition.

God's blood!

No.

Even Apollyon can entrust Luna to the Archdemon of Sloth, and that was saying something.

Of course, the devil's grin grew wider, amused about seeing him furious about his appearance in the Estate.

Why did he agree to summon this bastard in the first place?

If it weren't because of Archdemon's blood and Hecate's mission, he would do everything in his power to ban Ravin from setting his foot in the Material? Realm.

"You? tricked me into believing that he wouldn't return in the Hazelnut Manor today but you ditched Xerxes and I the instant we turn our backs and got busy with work." From that point on, his smile turned dim, and his sarcastic words were laced with venom. "You are very fit to be an Autumn Prince like what Queen Morgan had though" His countenance turned grim as he raised his chin in a challenge. "I think you are a coward, shirking from you responsibilities."

Ravin stood up from his seat, strode towards him so that both of them were eye-to-eye as if that would make them equals. "I am not just your second-in-command or an Archdemon Familiar. Like you, I am also your wife's mate. I deserved to know if Amare—"

"—Luna—" Apollyon corrected with a growl.

"Amare can? take my blood down without any adverse effects." Ravin insisted strongly as his fingers locked on his throat.

Apollyon let him because, after today, he wouldn't give him any other chances to do so.

He was trying to be merciful because he didn't want Hazelnut Manor to see such violence when his pregnant wife was under the same roof as them "I do have the right to know as her mate and I care about her well-being even if she was pregnant by whomever—"

His rage was like a stick struck against the match before it skyrocketed.

Apollyon's fist connected with Archdemon's stomach.

CRASH!

He was thrown to the wall across him with such force that the nymph paintings, which served as a partition between one room and the next, were replaced with just one colossal hole.

The rubble had also destroyed some of the plants which Sloth had taken care of.

"Don't disrespect the Empress honor and dignity, making her sound like she was a common whore!" Apollyon's deep baritone was edged with savagery, making the unflappable Sloth cringe a little. "You are not her mate."

Lunging at him so fast, Ravin roared back. "Then, why would you ask me for my blood if I wasn't—"

"This constant repetition of denial is driving me crazy." Then, in an attempt to stop Ravin from retaliating, Sloth picked two chairs and fearlessly threw them in his brother's direction while shouting, "It is what it is!"

Yes!

Why couldn't Ravin just let that thought sink into his daft head?

Still, Apollyon widened his stance to prepare for the fight as he glowered at Archdemon's stern, piercing gaze. "Both of you are Luna's mate and that's a fact."

Wait.

What?

Flabbergasted, his gaze flew to Sloth's face with burning wrath.

He couldn't accept that!

"I wish I could join the club but it's already overcrowded and I easily get tired with these never-ending arguments. it's giving me a headache that killing random living things would be my only cure."

"What did you say, Sloth?" He jumped over the couch and stalked closer to them in a few swift strides while the two of them stepped backwards.

Sloth raised his hands in surrender and shrugged. "I apologize but I have only hunted wild animals so far." Apollyon's brows furrowed at that.

So, he was killing creatures here, and the Autumn Faeries in this Estate never batted an eye?

Sloth's arms went limp so that he could bury his hands deep into the pockets of his coat. "Can we talk about Princess Ourania and Hephaestus is in the Autumn Courts to fetch Princess Sapphire?"

"What?"

At this moment, Apollyon had now completely ignored Ravin, who caught the chairs Sloth had thrown at him to focus on the other less dangerous one.

He hadn't asked a question yet, but the knob had turned and opened abruptly, revealing Luna in her beautiful long-sleeved lavender gown.

"What is happening here?" Her startled gaze and pale facelifted raised to meet his narrowed eyes.

"Wife. I told you to stay in your room." Apollyon snapped and gently clasped his fingers around her wrist to remove his pregnant wife from the peril. "You said that you would? obey me."

"I am fine now and I can walk." Her insulting scowl told him that her utter obedience would only happen in his dreams. "The servants are with me on the on the other side of this order. What is this I hear about Princess Ourania? Did I miss anything? that happened in the Autumn Palace while I was here in the Estate?" 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

After the critical discussion, Luna ordered her two Archdemon Familiars to get out of the Parlour Room and call Princess Sapphire to inform her about the news regarding her parents.

"I don't want to see them!" Her hands were fisted with sparking anger.

Apollyon nodded his head in agreement as he positioned Luna at the corner of the couch.

"You don't have to because I am not interested in seeing my mother's face again." If he saw that his wife was already seven months pregnant, that witch would find a way to ruin their future family.

That was her usual course of action.

Even if she didn't have anything left to ruin after Fate decided to f*ck them up, Apollyon wasn't that stupid to expose Luna like that after what happened in the Summer Courts. "She would perfectly understand why we? wouldn't be there."

"Vampire King. Are you just going to let my mother take me from here?"

"No. As long as you are here, you are under my wing." Apollyon finally said as he wrapped a protective arm around Luna's back. "But my only condition is, you must talk to them first and see if they could provide information regarding the demons outside the Kingsdom."

Wincing, Princess Sapphire said sourly as she squirmed restlessly on her seat. "I don't want to be with them. I like to remain here where it is safe."

"I know." Luna whispered as she stroked the child's hair with sincere affection.. "Just pretend you were there in the Autumn Palace to listen what they have to say as their daughter."
