QUEEN MORGAN OF THE AUTUMN REALM
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Please call the Vampire King over here, Kotari. I have something to tell him." Morgan told herself that she should call the Vampire King by his name, Apollyon.
The Vampire Realm was seized by this Archdemon called Luxen. Yet, she still believed that the vampire couple still had the power to take their Kingdom back, just like how the Vampire King helped her defend hers.
As she lifted herself with her elbows, Queen Morgan moved back to lean against the headboard and groaned from the soreness of her body, "I will give him a reward that he and the Empress deserved."
Kotari, who was the closest one to the door nodded, stepped outside her royal chamber.
It took him ten minutes to return to her chamber with no Vampire King in tow.
Even Sylvain and Jora had to peek if someone stood behind Kotari before they realized that no one was there when he shut the door gently.
Loud noises can irritate Queen Morgan, especially if she already had this throbbing ache in her temples from waking up too soon.
."Queen Morgan." Kotari inclined his head towards her with his hands behind his back, "The Vampire King wouldn't allow to speak with you alone without the Empress."
'Oh right.' She clapped once from the realization. 'How silly of me!'
She cleared her throat and said evenly, "Call the Vampire King and the Empress here in my chamber."
"Yes, You're Highness."
The Vampire King and the Empress came in, wearing perfect clothes as if both of them didn't have a first-hand experience of the siege's aftermath.
As the three of them pretended that her Cadre was 'air', Morgan, Apollyon and Luna had a short conversation as her protectors listened to them in silence.
She gave the alliance the Vampire King wanted from the start along with a temporary position in the Autumn Monarchy so that this couple would have a bit of power greater than her Cadre over the Autumn Militia just in case Queen Morgan wasn't fit to lead them while she rested.
King Apollyon and her wife proved themselves to be reliable after saving her from the president.
This was how she showed her immense gratitude since she had no husband or descendants to pass it unto for the meantime.
Well, she felt no pressure at first.
It wasn't like she would die soon.
Unfortunately, today's events had changed her mind.
The Empress didn't argue unnecessarily or ask too many questions.
As the Vampire King, their countenance was neutral, but the twinkle in their eyes made her think that they were glad and relieved.
The Empress told her one last thing before they exited her room.
Empress Luna had promised that they would take back the Vampire Realm from the Archdemon of Lust after they found the magic fruits, and Queen Morgan's offer to give them a portion of her cities to rule wasn't needed.
Yet, the silver-haired pale lady had curtsied, said 'thank you' and 'get well soon' messages before flashing her with a gracious yet humble smile.
After that, the Empress clutched her husband's hand, and their fingers interlocked with one another as they got out.
She frowned.
It reminded her of how Uriel had held her hand on their last night.
She glanced at Archangel Ariel's feather she had preserved inside a small dome-shaped piece of amber on top of her bedside table.
This will be the last time she would reminisce about what happened between her and Archangel Uriel.
Maybe, her mind had taken her back to what happened at the Great War between Archangels and the Fallen Angels because history had repeated itself in the current times.
She was ready to move forward and rescue the future from the sinister demonic legions, like how she had saved the Faerie Realm in the past.
"Queen Morgan, aren't you giving them too much of a reward?" Jora straightened his posture. "If you want to reward the people who saves you, who constantly have your back, don't you think that we are more eligible to be elevated as part of your family and become one of your Monarchs instead of them?" His tone was firm, and it made her think that the youngest member of her Cadre had no plans in holding anything back, "Why don't you just give everyone a reward to those who had worked hard during the battle? What had the Vampire King done to gain much favor for you that we hadn't done yet?"
That made her raise an eyebrow.
"You don't understand Kotari. I can do anything as your Queen." Queen Morgan said flatly as she glowered at his audacity. "Being part of my Cadre doesn't give you the right to question me. There would be no such thing as reward if all acquired the same thing. We can't possibly make everyone in the Autumn Militia have a higher status than lords unless you are born with the royal blood. This is my test of excellence of who can protect the Kingdom better. Victory would never belong to us without their help. In addition to that, you haven't experienced losing a Kingdom that you have built for millennia in the blink of an eye. This is my way of sympathizing the pain and shock which accompanied that realization that those creatures had nothing to return to."
"But don't you think it was too much?" Kotari seconded. "What if it was a trap to gain our trust?"
"No one would risk their lives for the sake of a perfect trap—"
"—but we will never know the extent of what Archdemons can do, Sylvain." Kotari growled.
It appeared like Queen Morgan couldn't make everyone happy.
"Kotari." She rasped, moving a little forward so that she could lie back to her bed. "You better stop counting what the Queen had bestowed upon you and compare it with the Vampire King and her Empress. You have been with me for a specific period of time so the three of you knew that I never played nice. You can be disappointed all you want but I don't want to give my Cadre illusions about who I am. Listening to the three of you isn't fair for myself either when I should be resting.." Her hands clenched on her blankets as she regarded each of them with a frosty glance, "All of you can make yourself scarce now."
