The Empress Luna

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

"I had successfully driven Lilith away from my Kingdom for now." Luxen had informed her, adding that he couldn't promise when she would be back to create havoc.

When Luna was about to heal and could move her limbs a little, the Archdemon of Envy would pull this kind of stunt to scare her.

She would have been lying if it didn't make her fear for her life, giving her a cold sweat.

Luna had Apollyon's heir inside her, and she must do everything in her power to protect her child!

"I deposited you in a secret fancy chamber located on the same floor where my dungeons could be found." He said as he paced around the room, "Lilith still managed to crack it open and get to you."

Luna glowered at him.

She was about to open her mouth and interrogate him for placing his fellow Archdemon and his 'supposed wife' on the same floor of the dungeon.

.Still, he quickly cut her off, "My protection runes were stronger at the dungeons to avoid the prisoners from escaping the basement. This chamber was reserved for guests. who needs security and protection."

From the pristine white trimmings of the entire chamber, Luna assumed that Luxen imprisoned angels here—not necessarily female--if he was feeling adventurous in bed.

Luxen mentioned that he got the angel blade for Luna by fucking 'adventurous' angels who desired to feel lust and danger all in one person.

'Adventurous' must be a codename for angels who had fallen from grace and were kicked out from the Realm of the Heavens.

She wanted to ask him more questions about her 'luxurious prison chamber' and complain about it, but Luxen had told her that she should be grateful that she wasn't cuffed and trussed up on the bed like how his sexual partners used to prefer.

'Oh,' Luna realized, 'This was his sex dungeon.'

"So, I was lying on this bed where you and your bodily fluids had spilled on the white sheets this whole time, and I didn't even notice?"

Blushing, The Archdemon of Lust's nostrils flared as he growled defensively, "I let the servants change the sheets after I fucked with my guests, and like my sexual conquests, I didn't use the same sheets twice."

Luna stood up carefully from the bed as she examined the whole room.

Removing her gaze from Luxen, who stood by the balcony with his hands on his hips, Luna's eyes accidentally shifted to a large treasure chest on the headboard.

From Luna's experience with Apollyon's lair on the other side of the Valley of Kings, the treasure chest could contain female lingerie, nightclothes, see-through flowing dresses, handcuffs, leather straps and ties, and other toys appropriate for a sex dungeon like this.

If she wasn't mistaken, Apollyon's lair was used as a sex dungeon before, kind of.

Luna wanted to open it herself to satisfy her curiosity, but she changed her mind and left it alone.

She had no business caring about what the Archdemon of Lust, her third husband, would do in his free time.

Luna refused to imagine the life of this manwhore, or she might gag every time she remembered that witch Lilith—who wanted to claim her body and her husband and who also wanted to kill her baby—and the Archdemon of Lust had once exchanged bodily fluids.

She would have preferred not to imagine what those two were doing in this chamber, or she might vomit.

"Mayhap Lilith knew where I had deposited you because Lilith had been in this chamber many times," Luxen explained.

Yes, every time they do the deed without penetration.

Luna kept a straight-face as she let the Archdemon continue. "Even if I did the safety precautions and reinforced his protection runes, Lilith had proven her skills as a Dark High Priestess, for she had disabled the runes with her spells so easily."

Lilith must have memorized and learned to navigate this Ice Castle even with her eyes closed, without letting Luxen know that she was here.

After that crazy encounter with Lilith, Luxen had offered her to stay in his private chambers.

Luna contemplated for a bit as Luxen waited with patience to make up her mind.

She remembered Lilith talking about Luxen—that nobody had seen his private chamber because Luxen wouldn't allow anyone--not even his sexual partners--to sleep with him where he was at his most vulnerable.

He never let his guard down, and nobody in the entire Realms slept with him in the literal sense, which was suspicious enough.

Rubbing her chin, Luna sat back on the bed and weighed her options.

Determined to find out Luxen's secret, she agreed to it.

Luna knew Luxen wasn't stupid.

He might be the Archdemon of Lust.

He might be her 'second mate' as they were tied together with a silver thread.

He might fool around with her when it comes to sex, but Luna knew he wouldn't seduce her—not right away.

Luxen's curse was a blessing for Luna.

The lustful Archdemon could technically sleep with her only once, and she must use that to her own advantage.

As long as she wouldn't tempt Luxen or provoke him to feel his sin, Luna could let him bring home females after females, and she wouldn't bat an eye.

Luna's thoughts drifted through Apollyon.

If Apollyon did that, Luna would probably beat his cheating ass and kill him, and both of them would die happily ever after with the baby.

The End.

Not.

Luna would protect her child and the future heir of the Vampire Realm.

How was her husband doing while she was unconscious in the bathtub?

She had trusted her husband to find a way to get her back to the Vampire Realm.

Apollyon was a King who took action.

He wasn't a male who would just wait around.

Luna was worried that her husband was cheating, but she realized that Apollyon was the least of her concerns now.

When Ravin summoned her at the Dream Realm, Apollyon hadn't sought other women, taking care of her soulless body while Luna was away.

Luna would trust her husband with all her heart.
