Archdemon Empress Luna

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

Luna speculated that the Queen of the Autumn Court was perhaps a bit older than Queen Gloriana from the Spring Courts and Queen Titania from the Summer Courts.

Her skin was made of porcelain, and her small facial structure was as delicate as fine china.

Her hair was as lighter than Sloth's as flower garlands crowned the top of her head.

Her thick and curly ringlets were so long that they almost reached the ground.

Her Faerie Wings was gossamer thin, so the pair was almost transparent while thin, detailed veins of emerald and russet grew from the roots on her back to every cell of her fore-wing and hind-wing.

The Fall Queen's pair of wings might be unique, but Apollyon's orange wings still felt more superior to her since it felt like it would belong to an offspring of a phoenix and a monarch butterfly.

The Queen of the Fall Courts had brought a basket full of nuts and apples while a few dragonflies rested on the large skirts of her deep blue gown made of silk.

One small red fox and two glorious peafowls followed closely behind her made her assume that these three were her pets.

As her gaze returned from her royal garments to her countenance, Luna aimed to carve her image into the stones of her memory but… no matter how she squinted at the Queen's fox mask,? she couldn't determine the colour of her eyes from afar.

Some glamour prevented her from seeing her face clearly, and she had seen Apollyon did this trick to keep them hidden from their visitors during that Ball.

She could very much see in the dark like a vampire, and the sun had risen in the east here…

East!

The knowledge hit her mind like a bolt of lightning.

All the information was literally in her face.

Luna finally understood how Xerxes and Princess Sapphire were able to locate the Fall Courts.

All of the Courts in the Faerie Realm divided their territories based on the Four Cardinal direction.

The west is the Summer Courts, while the South is the Spring Courts.

The territories of the Fall Courts was located in the East, where the sun rose from fertile valleys and jade streams ending in foothills that leapt into the grey, snowcapped mountains of the Winter Courts.

Luna didn't bother asking the pair for more information at the start of their journey since Apollyon forbade her from thinking too much.

Yes, thinking!

It frustrated her that every time she wanted to engage him in a long conversation—whether through the mind or by speech— he shut all of her attempts to chatter and demanded her to sleep on mid-air.

She was bored with the comfortable silence between them as her husband carried her in his arms while he flew in his Fae Wings the first time.

She wasn't asking for trouble, but she would have enjoyed that special experience more if her Summer Fae Prince wasn't brooding and paranoid at that moment.

Those two moods in him wasn't a good combination.

Every time her memory brought that up, her nostrils just flared in ire.

Perhaps, her husband might suggest that she shouldn't breathe next time.

She can understand where her husband's fear was coming from, but she just found it ridiculous that 'thinking'-- using her brain might induce Lilith to come back and steal the reins of her physical vessel from her.

The Vampire King had gone too overprotective with her and their heiress, and no amount of argument can make him retract his decision.

Luna didn't want to waste any more of her saliva since they already argued enough the entire dawn, so she conceded that… Apollyon was right.

The Vampire King's words are the law—one that she must follow as his Empress.

It was bad to deplete energy over such a useless cause as quarrelling with him when it came to decision-making.

She knew that her beloved didn't want to hurt her. Goddess! Maybe, Apollyon, even though this was what was best for her.

Luna will let her controlling husband be at the helm for now until he calms down.

She was also pressed to perform in front of the Archdemon Familiars as the Vampire King's wife and show them her best behaviour--that their marriage was close to perfection.

She refused to give Ravin the idea that he could still have her and replace Apollyon as her husband if he witnessed just one misunderstanding.

Everyone knew that the mating bond couldn't be that shallow, but she still tried.

Apollyon's patience with Ravin was already on thin ice, and she needed to do something so that Apollyon would feel more secure.

The Vampire King feel more secure with her obedience, so she would gladly give him that.

Sometimes, the Archdemon of Gluttony never stopped poking holes on Apollyon's defences since he already figured out his weakness as the Blood Beast. It made her wonder if she could handle all this chaos and keep herself together when she was in the eye of the storm.

The Fall Queen's voice was as sweet as sun-warmed apples, and it startled her,? "What brought all of you here, Vampire King and the Empress of the Vampire Realm?"

Frowning, Luna cocked her head at her with suspicion and folded her arms across her chest.

The light around the Fall Queen's aura kept shifting about.

What was this woman hiding from them aside from the upper half of her face under that fox mask?

"You know who we are, Your Highness?"

"The Fall Courts is the most isolated Kingdom but that wouldn't stop me from knowing what is going on to the rest of the Realm, your Highness." Hidden terror must have lurked behind the Queen of Autumn in a warm and calming demeanour, or perhaps, she was reading too much into her natural charm.

"Those two old men?" Luna stiffened when the Fall Queen asked. "Are they human?"

Neither made the High Lady move in her position nor pointed a finger at Ravin and Sloth.

Their group knew exactly who she was talking about, "Why did you bring them along with a little fae princess and a rogue werewolf?"
