New Chapter for the Highest Tier (June 2021)

Archdemon Empress Luna

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

Luna woke up from her slumber from the moment her ears perked up from the sweet and bright chirping of birds as they chased and played around.

Some must have perched their tiny feet on the warm banister.

Sunlight streamed from the floor-to-ceiling glass doors of their luxury suite to the terrace.

Luna's mind was keen to watch the actual sunrise. Still, she decided to stay by Apollyon's side, cuddling his large and muscular torso even tighter with a small smile as she basked into the smell of his delicious musk and the warmth his manly physique emitted.

If she wasn't Apollyon's wife, outsiders might think she was a maniac from all her sniffing.

Her husband's scent was an addiction she would rather not recover from.

She knew he was still asleep as he felt his soft exhalations in her forehead as he enveloped her into his embrace—warm, comfortable and secure.

Nothing can hurt her, so she didn't bother opening her eyes and move her limbs, or else she might disturb her moody husband and accidentally wake him up.

That would make her husband's temperament even worse.

Luna's smile dropped, turning into a frown.

There shouldn't be any reason Luna should be happy as her memories of what happened last night and at dawn flashed across her mind as if it was God's life review that was shown to her before she was dead.

He was already pissed off by the idea of summoning the Archdemon, who ruined his life for a long time while he was the King of the Vampire Realm.

She understood that he abhorred the idea but if they have no other choice—

They had to think about this more since her baby's life was on the line because delaying Hecate's mission meant placing Leo in danger in the hands of Lilith!

Yesterday, Luna couldn't believe what she had heard when Hecate's messenger suggested summoning Ravin as her Archdemon Familiar.

The ghost said that a familiar would act as her personal servant. If that was the case, she could order Ravin around like a loyal pet if she wanted to. Luna acquired the Archdemon's true name before.

Luna was stronger and better! Her eyebrows knitted in resolve. She can force that Archdemon bastard what to do, and he will have no say in it.

From now on, she can consider herself as a High Priestess now since she had Hecate's Mark imprinted on her chest.

Therefore, it would be easier for her to conjure an Archdemon.

She was also informed that the Goddess of the Underworld had returned the abilities she bestowed upon her before she snatched them away when she had given her virginity to Apollyon on the wedding night.

Smirking, Luna thought about encircling Ravin's neck with a thick black collar, activating an electric shock every time he disobeyed her.

At the same time, she fisted the iron chains in her hand, pulling him and dragging him around the palace like he was her dog.

She was looking forward to that.

Goddess, she would make Ravin suffer like what he did to her in Hell.

An eye for an eye.

A tooth for a tooth.

This would be the only chance for retribution—for playing with her emotions, making her feel helpless and handing her over to the Grand Torturer.

Because according to a fiend's twisted mind, putting her in custody with his Uncle Satan along with the Grand Torturer's machinations was for her own good.

Luna thought it was laughable that the very same Archdemon—the anathema whom she tried so hard to get rid of when she was hailed as the High Priestess—was also the same creature who would aid her with Hecate's new mission.

The Archdemon Familiar would keep the demonic legions Lilith have summoned under control. Luna had little doubts if she had the ability to keep Ravin docile. But she would do her best for Leo's sake.

Her daughter needed her help.

She must be confident in her power to make the damned bastard his familiar as per Hecate's instructions from the grimoire the ghost provided her before it went 'poof!'.

The Archdemon of Envy was the first High Priestess of the Vampire Realm who Hecate trusted to hold the forbidden knowledge of Underworld Magic.

Lilith was given the original grimoire of the Goddess only for her to break her allegiance through her death, sacrificing her soul to the Archdemon of Gluttony for the sake of revenge to Apollyon, who was a Prince at that time.

Apollyon rejected her sexual advances because of her status as the Kingdom's High Priestess.

Her inflated ego as the most beautiful, sought-after virgin also took a hit, according to what her husband had told her.

Furious, Lilith couldn't bear the brunt of the humiliation.

She was a human who allowed the power King Gwythyr had given to her into her head, and she had tapped the most forbidden of Hecate's magic to summon the Archdemon.

Lilith even ripped the last pages where most advanced spells and incantations can be found and kept it to goddess-knows-where.

The power Lilith held as a human being was not enough to contain the strength of Ravin, which led to her demise.

Her revenge for her unrequited love had led her to an untimely death.

Luna's imagination would be as good as her desire to observe nature early in the morning instead of raising her husband's ire over what the Hecate's messenger told them hours after midnight.

She contented herself with thinking a large ball of fire stretching its bright rays the same way she would extend her arms upward after waking up, and she visualized the slightly mixed brown and yellow hues of the mountain forests while both light and shadow dancing on top of the lake, hugging the Material Realm like a warm blanket.

Luna was too lazy to get up, and she liked the feeling of the coverlets over her cold baby bump.

But in reality, they had no choice but to face the music and go to the Summer Courts to find out what happened while they were gone.

She only had two things to keep in mind.

Conjure the Archdemon of Gluttony and find the Tree of the Four Seasons.
