Archdemon Empress Luna

"Sloth." Luna\'s hands rubbed her ice-cold face down to her sweaty neck out of frustration and exhaled a sigh.
Then, she stared into the leafy green depths of Sloth\'s gaze while she let her limbs fall into her light pink dress and wipe the moisture off her palms.
"I have lifted my command about your speech." Her voice hardened similarly to the tone her husband used with Ravin. "You can now talk to me."
Sloth inclined his head and watched Luna, then to Apollyon, who stood menacingly behind her with his hand on the side jamb while the other rested near her shoulder, lightly stroking her silver hair right there as if he was claiming ownership of her by the rampant touches.
From the outside, his playful gestures might appear like it was an attempt to lighten an atmosphere between them as if they were part of her husband\'s plan for seductive foreplay before they went to bed.
But, Everyone would think otherwise.
It was another one of his declarations of ownership.
This time it was more subtle so as not to trigger her other Archdemon husband.
As he brought his gaze back to Luna, he spoke in a rasp as if he hadn\'t used his voice for a long time. "As much as I remember, you told me that I wasn\'t allowed to separate from you whenever I feel like it."
Oh, goddess!
Luna had to breathe for a few seconds to regain composure.
These Archdemon Familiars take everything word for word.
As she raised a curious eyebrow, the chamberlain watched and waited for her Archdemon Familiars to trail after her.
She kept her face as blank as Sloth.
Luna dilly-dallied at the corner of the hallway, hunching her shoulders as if that would make her invisible from the escalating tension.
It was either that...or she was twiddling her thumbs to see if Luna, the Empress of the Vampire Realm, would actually invite Ravin and Sloth inside their bedchamber.
Impossible!
Luna clenched her fists.
She would not be fodder for gossip in the Summer Courts for owning a Harem like how the guards of Vinca Inn thought.
"Follow the chamberlain and go to your individual rooms." Scowling, Luna crossed her arms over her chest and scolded them like they were two children instead of two adult Archdemons. "You aren\'t allowed to get out of your room unless I brought each of you out of it, do you understand? Ravin? Sloth?"
Her stern words sounded like punishment for unruly kids running around the hallway at midnight and creating trouble.
Come to think of it!
It was almost the witching hour.
Apollyon and Luna needed to rest to regain their strength, wake up early in the morning to confront Princess Ourania and arrange a meeting with Princess Sapphire.
It took a while for Sloth to tell her the truth, which also explained Ravin\'s sudden abhorrence towards their separation.
Apollyon and Ravin\'s ill-tempers rose, and they even had a clash.
Of course, it had a reason. "As Familiars, it will physically hurt us of losing you from our sight." He tiptoed a bit as he examined what their bedchamber looked like from behind them. "You will know how my brother and I will feel once we are deposited in our--"
Apollyon cut him off like his tongue was a sharp knife. "You will get used to it. A Familiar will not inconvenience their Master and sleep in the same room as her husband."
Sloth was the epitome of calm when he asked him with interest, "How dare you to talk down on us when we are more powerful than you, Vampire King? Aren\'t you ashamed that you aren\'t stronger than your wife?"
"At least I wasn\'t her slave." Apollyon shot back with sarcasm, and Sloth grimaced.
She let out a surprised gasp.
Her husband exchanged his savage insults with the Archdemon of Sloth as if they were merely talking about the weather.
From the sly grin on his face when she glanced up at him. she knew he liked every minute of it.
Earlier, they had a short mental agreement about Apollyon not starting another conflict with either Ravin and Sloth.
It was a sincere request of hers--with the emphasis of \'sincere.\'
They have the Archdemons by the necks, and she can control her Familiars at will.
What else could her husband ask for?
Nevertheless, Apollyon reluctantly concurred.
And yet, he pulled another stunt like this.
Ravin was a few steps ahead of Sloth since he obeyed her command to follow the chamberlain to their individual rooms.
The attendant paused, which meant Ravin had to halt too.
He had to watch his so-called rival touch her so freely.
It was clear from that intense look of his golden eyes that he desired to devour her like she was a deer to his wolf.
Didn\'t she think that she wouldn\'t notice Ravin regard her like he was a thirsty man looking for water in a dessert every time the scorching gaze leave a trail of embers in her wake?
"Well, are you sure you aren\'t her slave, Vampire King?" Ravin smirked.
Hmm.
Did she command Ravin to shut up and mentioned his name or not?
"Before we part, I would like to ask you a question." Luna spoke as she addressed Ravin with suspicion, "Do you have any idea about the Tree of Four Seasons?"
"I don\'t know what you mean." Ravin drawled as he kept direct eye contact—golden eyes to her emerald ones.
She narrowed her gaze at him, and he smirked.
As her Master, she could already sense his lies from a mile away.
Apollyon could sense it as well.
Yet, he lifted her in his arms in a hurry to get under the sheets, "We will figure it out, or we will find another way to extract the information out of you."
Apollyon was about to get them inside the bedchamber and shut their door with a foot, but she pleaded, Wait, husband." Apollyon listened and stopped. "Don\'t lie to me, Ravin."
"Hecate told me you know what to do about this." Luna said as Apollyon let him face her again, "Now, Answer me with yes or no. Have you seen the Tree of Four Seasons before?"
"Yes." Ravin\'s hand lifted to finger his necklace, which seemed like a blue feather.
"Do you know where it is?"
"No."
