Vampire King Apollyon

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

Luna was an Archdemon, but she couldn't use her demon wings to fly with them because her soul was still in her physical vessel—unlike Ravin and Sloth.

They didn't have to rely on any of the Archdemons for transportation.

Apollyon abhorred relying on Luna's Archdemon Familiars for anything except for what they came to do here in the Material  Realm. That was to protect his Empress from Lilith and locate the Garden of the Four Seasons.

The Goddess Hecate specified that the Archdemon of Gluttony could help in the hunt, but Luna still couldn't figure how.

He was somehow glad that he grew Faerie Wings as a Summer Monarch so that he could carry the Empress in his arms.

He would be in charge of her safety while they traveled in midair, following Xerxes and Princess Sapphire below.

Of course, it would make sense that they knew all the shortcuts to arrive at the gates of the Fall Courts faster.

The princess and the werewolf had spied all over the Faerie Realm to gather top secret information about their political enemies.

If some creatures proved to be hindrances, it would be easy to get rid of them through blackmails and play upon their weaknesses.

Unfortunately, the Fall Courts were hard to defeat.

Rumors had it that the Fall Courts were the most capricious Fair folk in the entirety of the Faerie Realm, bringing terror and mischief in their wake.

They were beautiful yet cutthroat--highly competitive than the Summer Monarchs, more manipulative than the Spring Courts, and more sneaky than the Winter Courts, so it would be hard to pin their ulterior motives down.

The Fall Courts didn't allow just anyone to enter their Kingdom since the fortifications surrounding their Kingdom were tall, strong, and full of concealed traps.

Anyone who attempted to infiltrate and climbed their cursed walls will die a gruesome death.

Meanwhile, Apollyon couldn't use his teleportation magic for his beloved's convenience since he was unacquainted where the Autumn Courts were located, and Xerxes and Princess Sapphire's memory of the Kingdom were too vague to be used as a reference since their mind had no strong attachments there.

Both of them only recognize where the portcullis of the massive gates could be found.

Apollyon and Luna also discussed through their mind link that she would not create any portal in front of Ravin and Sloth so as not to complicate things.

They might use that valuable information in the future and tell the Demon King Lucifer and Satan that the Demon Kind were successful in forcing her to learn that unique ability as gods and goddesses can do.

As time went by, these Familiars had become too much of a liability with their unnecessary complaints.

They almost succeeded wearing his Empress down as they stood at the entrance of the Fall Courts.

The fortress of the Fall Kingdom was a latticework of gold, brown, and green, symbolizing the fade of the summer's light and the vitality waning before the season turned into winter.

The autumn colors were so vivid that the Empress and his sister couldn't help but gawk and gape in front of the Fall Kingdom as if it was an enormous jewelry box that women were so fascinated about.

On the other hand, Apollyon could see Ravin dusting the invisible lint off his brown robes.

He paused when he noticed his old hands for the hundredth time the moment they arrived, "I am confused on what disguise I should shift into to be considered normal in the Faerie Realm. I don't think I can be considered normal with this."

Frowning, Ravin settled his hands behind his back and began to walk, pacing back and forth in agitation.

"I want to return to my humanoid form earlier." Ravin said out loud, but he didn't address anyone, so it appeared like he was talking to himself, "Why would I even try to be normal in this disguise when I am going to stand out anyway?"

Princess Sapphire grabbed the chance to avenge her reputation as a spymaster when the  Archdemon mocked her capabilities at the bonfire.

Scanning Ravin up and down as he strode, the little girl gave him a slight smirk, "Give it up, old man. You should follow the Empress' requests if she told you to use that disguise."

Ravin waved a hand in dismissal, completely ignoring the Summer Princess' words.

Princess Sapphire knew that the Archdemon had heard her insult perfectly, and giggles bubbled in her throat.

With flaring nostrils, the Archdemon of Gluttony turned towards Luna and uttered in a weak, stringy voice of an old man,  "I don't want to put my entire form in this glamour, Domina." He sighed in regret upon hearing his glamored voice, "The Faerie wings should have been enough  to replace my demon wings."

"Ravin." Luna's tone was a warning as she glowered at him.

Apollyon didn't interfere and enjoyed the scene as he folded his arms over his chest.

It would be interesting to see Luna tearing Ravin to shreds with her sharp tongue and have his ass handed back to him.

He kept his mouth shut, but the corner of his lips slightly curved in amusement.

That would be his highlight of this journey!

Even if Ravin narrowed his eyes at her, he still lowered his head in a respectful bow, "I apologize for the complaint, Domina, I can't stand to looking like an old commoner like you requested me to be."

"Your brother, Sloth, seemed to be alright with it."  Luna pointed out as she gave the Archdemon of Sloth a fleeting glance.

After hearing his name being mentioned, Sloth turned his head towards Luna and smiled with my innocence. "This is my first time to be an old man. Look at my wrinkled hands." He raised and showed them the back of his hands. "This is interesting."

He was fascinated by the new experience, unlike Ravin.
