<strong>The Archdemon of Sloth</strong>

<strong>Prince Sloth from the Seventh Circle of Hell</strong>

<strong>***********************************************************</strong>

"Sloth." Nostrils flaring, her sharp green eyes glowered at him first. What are you doing here?"

The Archdemon of Envy had possessed his sister-in-law!

Sloth refused to answer since he didn't want Lilith to know that he had turned into Lune's Archdemon Familiar.

His ego refused to admit that the silver-haired woman, who had two husbands, had cheated to conquer him and turn him into a servant.

His brother, Luxen, hadn't known either, and he wanted to continue using that advantage.

"The emerald in this entire room must be a myth." Sloth rubbed his chin in contemplation. "It isn't working."

The old woman raised her head to look up at him. "It is. The princess couldn't use her strength even if she tried."

Perhaps, the crystals made Lune too weak that Lilith could control her vessel.

Lilith glanced around her surroundings with interest, figuring out where she was while tugging at her restraints.

He didn't even tether her wrists that tight, so it was puzzling that she couldn't break free from it.

Both Archdemons were as weak as humans in this room.

He couldn't believe that towels were enough to do the dirty job.

Sloth could see the exact moment when she realized that she was contained in a room with walls and ceilings that glowed green in the dark, and their only light source was the small fire at the hearth.

He bet she hadn't seen the emerald python creeping on the floor.

Lilith brought her attention back to him again and said, "You are not supposed to be here!"

'Not supposed to be here, huh?' The corner of his lips curved upward at her accusing tone. 'Did she mean to discriminate him from traveling through different Realms just because he belonged to the deepest pits of Hell?'

"Release me this instant, or I will stop these children from seeing this world!" Lilith snarled at him with bloodshot eyes, her ample chest bouncing every time she strenuously pulled against the towels tied at her wrists and legs.

He shook his head and rubbed a palm on his face in frustration.

If she kept this up, she was going to hurt herself—

No.

Lune.

Now, Sloth was confused.

Her attitude switched from desperation to arrogance real quick.

"They will stay here in this womb until they rot!" Lilith chuckled, her green eyes sparkling with delight. "Neither will these two see Luxen nor Apollyon?"

Sloth shook his head at how absurd Lilith was.

She was jealous of Lune for stealing the stone-cold heart of the Vampire King, and she was also mad that Luxen was ready to destroy realms so that he could have her.

'Once the babies are out, Lilith will be gone, just like how it would kill Luna like what the Three Fates had warned us about.'

The Vampire King had told them about Lilith's tactic.

He wouldn't allow himself to be fooled.

"Your attempt to distract us is futile." Sloth observed every nuance of her facial expressions.

They didn't fit well on his sister-in-law's face.

He wanted her gone as soon as possible.

"My Archdemon soul could cling to either one of her daughters." Her lips stretched into a wide grin.

"Why are you trying your best to prevent it, then? Even  you don't trust yourself that it would work." Sloth leaned a hand close to her head and moved his face closer to see eye-to-eye.

Lilith laid her upper body back on the bed in dismay while her long silver hair fanned against the white cushions.

"You have run out of creative ideas this time that it's boring us, Lilith." His face was cold and hard as he searched her eyes. "Why don't you do everyone a favor  and return to Hell?"

"I'll do what I want in this vessel. I. Own. Her." Lilith spat out every word.

Sloth stared at Lilith in disgust. "Only for now because Lune had depleted her energy."

"You and the Vampire King can't stop me. You are always slow to catch up, Sloth." She whispered with gritted teeth.

Sloth raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Quit barking like a dog using the Empress's face. It doesn't suit her." He raised his hand from the bed to tilt her chin up and moved it from side to side to inspect her, "You're doing a disservice against this woman's beauty."

"This woman you are showering praises is already ugly in the first place." She growled from the insult.

Taken aback, Sloth's eyes widened a bit before he threw his head back and laughed.

"If that's what makes you sleep at night, then continue believing that… but know this, Lilith. I wouldn't be staying by her side if she was as ugly as you said. You should ask yourself why the Vampire King had rejected you after pining for his love for more than a millennia." He whispered as his eyes bored into hers. Every time she tried to avoid his gaze, he forced her to look at him again. "Instead of blaming someone who met the Vampire King a thousand years after he met you, why don't you take a look at yourself?'

Someone cleared her throat, and Sloth forgot that the old woman was still there for a moment. "Is  this the Archdemon that the Vampire King had warned us about?"

"Yes."  He turned her back on Lilith and faced the birth attendant with hands on his hips. "I cannot tolerate this kind of noise for long because I need to sleep. I guess the crystals are getting to me. Is there a way for us to knock her out aside from using the python's venom?"

"Help a fellow Archdemon, Sloth.  I would have expected Ravin to chase this bitch to the ends of the world, but you? This doesn't make sense." The Archdemon of Envy dared to change her tune.

Sloth and the birth attendant ignored her.

"I think covering her mouth with a cloth would do it."

"Let's do that." Sloth clapped his hands together excitedly. "I had enough of her talking down on me. I would only allow the Empress to treat me as a slave."
