Archdemon Empress Luna

As he stood behind her, Apollyon settled his hands on her shoulders to push her forward instead of Luna just awkwardly standing there with her lips pursed.

"Queen Morgan said she will agree to an alliance for saving her." Apollyon dismissively replied to Ravin's question as he positioned himself beside her and slid his hand to caress her arm and intertwine his fingers to hers. "That if we managed to find the Garden of the Four Seasons in the Fall Courts, then she would give us a position in her Court and become one of the Monarchs."

Glancing to the right, Apollyon pulled her decisively towards the seat of his choice, and she went along with it. 

The fabric of her long-sleeved and knitted rich sapphire blue gown was a disadvantage.

The weight of it and the thick underline of laces and silk confined her movements, making her legs sweat from the discomfort.

For the sake of fashion, Luna endured the vexing restriction as Apollyon released her hand to usher her the lady's chair and waited for her to settle down before he sat on the empty armchair beside her, which appeared similar to a throne.

Apollyon wore a deep brown tunic with gold lacework and rich embroideries.

Ravin had donned a forest green colour while a gold robe matched the highlights of Sloth's blond hair.

Fancy belts held their trousers in place. Rare gemstones embellished their cloaks, carrying the coat of arms.

It was similar to Queen Morgan to differentiate them from the rest of the Fair folk.

Yet, only her husband was given the honour to wear a special surcoat that matched the coat of arms representing the coat-of-arms.

The clothes, which the castle handmaidens made them wear, were created of the finest silk yarn, fox fur and other expensive materials.

Jewellery rings, gloves and bracelets adorned their fingers, including her Archdemon Familiars.

Luna initially wondered why Queen Morgan, her Cadre and the Fae Elders allowed them to put on such special garments as if these Faeries already had this unspoken agreement that Luna, Apollyon, Ravin and Sloth were now part of Autumn Courts.

However, it  seemed like the Fall Queen wanted to follow through with this plan and their conversation at her royal bedchamber cemented this belief. 

This would also encourage the rest of the Autumn Faeries to treat them like royalties and follow their orders all the same.

The maidservants must not be used to interacting with other Monarchs aside from Queen Morgan from the way they panicked around their presence.

After both of them had removed their 'old men' glamour for all the Autumn Faerie, her Archdemon Familiars had dressed like the Vampire Kings.

Now everyone had the chance to see who they were.

Ravin and Sloth didn't have to open their mouths to proclaim they were royalties from Hell.

From their mere aura and appearance in a single glance, the Fae handmaidens could already tell.  These flustered women run from one room to another to cater to her Archdemon Familiars' every request, just as how they scamper around to serve her and Apollyon.

Luna didn't bother correcting these handmaidens' assumptions and allowed Ravin and Sloth to enjoy this small luxury.

They deserved it for their hard work for summoning Sloth's president from Hell and the army of evil spirits they could manage to gather during the siege.

Both of her Archdemon Familiars accepted the womens' attention and did not let it get to their heads.

Maybe, it was a good choice for her to reject Queen Morgan's suspicious offer at the royal bed-chamber to get them to succeed her throne even if it was by accident.

This three-sixty degree turn bothered her, and she wondered what changed the Queen's mind this intensely.

Luna didn't have to listen to everything the Queen had to say while she rested in her bed before she simply dismissed her words as the product of brain fog.

She had no idea what Queen Morgan had planned since she proved to be so unpredictable.

Perhaps, Luna had given her too much credit, and the Queen was just befuddled.

The first thing they did when their small envoy arrived in the Fall Courts was to ask for an alliance.

They had accepted  Queen Morgan's rejection graciously, only for her to take her word back after they helped depend on her Kingdom during the short siege of Luxen's Legion.

At the moment, Queen Morgan must have realized how good their presence could be to her right now.

Of course, there must be a selfish reason behind that selfless offer that even Apollyon was tempted to accept.

The Autumn Queen had held them in high regard in her Kingdom that it was difficult for them to return to the Vampire Realm and take their Kingdom back from Luxen when their priorities were at odds with each other.

However, Apollyon said that staying at the Autumn Courts to find the Garden of the Four Seasons would be easier since they were already there.

In addition to that, Luna and Apollyon had gained the Queen's favour after her husband's heroic act of saving the Queen and the well-deserved victory during the siege the Fall Kingdom had achieved with their assistance.

This must be why Queen Morgan wanted to keep them there as long as possible to protect her and her Kingdom from the demonic invasion that would follow.

This wasn't the last time they would see demons.

This was just the beginning.

Luna was confident that Luxen could summon other presidents and legions to create this infinite chaos over the Material Realm.

The drawing-room was large enough to accommodate animal trophies from animal skins which were initially prepared, stuffed and mounted to achieve this life-like effect.

Busts in honour of the gods and goddesses, ceramic figurines, large flower arrangements in vases decorated the tables.

Velvet curtains were trimmed with elaborate fringes while the swags were roped with tassels, adding a casual yet sophisticated note.
