Hell's Consort

Chapter 516 - Lost In Her Thoughts

New Chapter for the Highest Tier (May 2021)

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

Archdemon Empress Luna

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

Luna had the Goddess of the Underworld in her side because of the 'Mark of the Triple Moon Goddess' on her chest.

But she had no idea if she had the power to call on Hecate with it.

Only Virgin High Priestesses were capable of doing that… or not, she had no idea.

The Goddess Hecate already talked to her from time to time when she felt like it.

Maybe, the Mark of the Triple Moon Goddess only served as a conduit for clearer communication.

Luna danced with her new partner, who invited her first, and Apollyon allowed it, his Prussian Blue eyes not leaving her even if he danced with a beautiful lady who had curly dark hair and smooth chocolate skin wearing a red gown with gold cuffs adorning her forearms and legs.

They were having a good conversation, but Apollyon's gaze was on Luna the whole time, watching over her like an intimidating guardian angel.

Luna's partner was a skinny, middle-aged (in terms of the human race) raven-haired man wearing a brown tunic similar to a tree trunk as he wore a dark cape over them.

Can an Archdemon even have the right to disturb a busy goddess to answer a few questions?' She tilted her head to the side and pursed her lips. 'How many Priestesses called on her name? to assist them with Underworld Magic?'

Well, there was no harm in trying.

But today wasn't the right time to ask Hecate about the harpy on Princess Ourania's side.

Luna was the only one who could see the harpy, and Apollyon was a vampire with sensitive eyes.

He told her about the ghost of a silver-haired child who had similar Prussian Blue eyes as him, claiming to be her daughter.

There was also an instance when Luna found her way back to her sleeping form on the bed with the help of an Archangel. But Apollyon could only feel the icy blast of wind when she blew air out of her mouth, making the tiny hairs of his nape stand on its end.

The soul's visibility to people in this Material Realm must be the spirit's decision whether he/she wanted to be seen by the person they desired to communicate with.

She was so deep in her thoughts that Luna hoped her dancing partner wouldn't mind if she stared into space or had a tendency to look down multiple times, just mindlessly doing the steps to match him.

If Luna can see and hear the harpy while her husband--

'Nobody can see me except the people who have ties to the Underworld.'? It opened its wide, full lips, but there was a sound coming out of it.

The harpy spoke to her mind with its pale face and long claws when she least expected it.

Staring at its deep obsidian eyes made her shudder involuntarily and made her knees weak as she danced with the stranger.

Princess Ourania's room was not only filled with gilded mirrors but was also filled with deafening silence—but that was on Apollyon and Luna's side as they stood at the other side of the door.

Apollyon's mother had someone to talk to inside the room, but people spying outside will not be able to hear a single word.? It was the kind of quiet that can drive someone crazy.

Luna might also learn how to read the movement of people's lips so that she could access secret information.

The existence of Apollyon's mother was shrouded in mystery and suspicion she might as well wear a cloak.

Was there a possibility that she was a High Priestess?

This must be why Apollyon's mother had dark clouds as her aura hanging over her head.

She was connected to creatures from the Underworld, yet she wasn't a Virgin High Priestess.

The only explanation that made sense was that she was brought to that place by someone!

But who was her link there?

Was it a lover?

Biting her lip, she thought about Apollyon's stepsister, Princess Sapphire.

She was definitely unique, standing out from all the faeries normally built with wings in their backs.

Did her absent father had a connection with the Underworld?

"Caelano." What was your purpose as Princess Ourania's companion?

Were you a familiar who protected her, or were you tasked to keep an eye on the Summer Princess to make sure she wouldn't spill the secrets she had seen during her visit from the Underworld?

"What did you say, my lady?"

Queen Titania and King Oberon also implied at the Faerie Tea Party that Apollyon's mother had a painting of Luna holding a magic fruit they call the Tree of Four Seasons.

Eating the fruit can exorcise a demon occupying the vessel which didn't belong, preventing that from happening in the future.

Her jaws clenched in determination.

Luna needed to find this fruit so that she can get rid of the sleeping Archdemon of Envy.

That bitch, Lilith, was still trapped in her body, and she hadn't figured out how to get rid of her.

Luna was afraid that if she did something on her own and chucked out Lilith out of her body through Archdemon magic she still wasn't sure of, it might backfire on her.

She will wake the sleeping monster up from her slumber, take over her body and pretend that she was Luna again.

If it happened, what if the Archdemon of Envy would be better at acting as Luna if she became aware that they were in the same body?

Her hand clenched in her partner's grasp and abruptly loosened it.

Too many questions needed to be answered, and to all these problems, she was the only answer and solution.

She felt pain in the back of her throat.

As of now, Luna can feel the gravity of the situation and her responsibility as a mother.

Goddess, she didn't even want to start about the baby Leo!

Lilith was the first one who knew about Luna's gestation when she planned to take charge of her body, but the Archdemon didn't hurt the baby in her stomach.

Why did she not find a way to kill her Leo?

The stranger cleared his throat, waving a hand over her distracted gaze as she stared blankly on the walls. "Are you still with me, my lady?"
