Archdemon Empress Luna

What did she mean about not doing this anymore?

Princess Sapphire must be out of her damned mind.

"How could you say that you want to return the Summer Courts after you just watched me kill the Fae General? Do you think the Summer Monarchs would still accept you after you made it clear to the Summer Militia that you are on our side?" Apollyon scowled at his sister. "You must think it would be easy to get back on the Fair Folk's good graces if they witness the headless body of the Summer Fae General the next morning!" It was the first time she saw his frustration about the little Princess' decision. "If you go back now, you would be accused of treason."

Apollyon might not consider the girl his real sister, but she knew he was only looking out for her.

"I am the Summer Realm's Princess. They would be lenient of me and forgive me after doing that. Queen Titania and King Oberon had protected my reputation as the youngest spymaster, and that would never change. The Summer Monarchs might be cold, but we still stick up and never betray one another. I know you know that my mother had done worse than that, but neither was she thrown into the dungeons nor stripped of her title and banished from our Kingdom." She reasoned out.

"Listen, Princess Sapphire."Ravin crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his head at her,? "As this infamous spymaster, have you tried killing someone yet?"

"I haven't."

"Well, young lasses—No. " Ravin shook his head, correcting himself, "—princesses like you could kill someone and claim it was an accident. No one would bat an eye."

"People would never blame you." The Archdemon posture's straightened as he looked down his nose at her, "When you are young, the ladies and gentlemen always assume you knew nothing."

"I haven't killed someone!" Princess Sapphires' hand gestures were wild from her outrage of the Archdemon's implication as if that would prove her innocence.? "I prefer not to have someone's blood on my hands."

Xerxes circled the paintings to stand behind Princess Sapphire, who stood across them, "I kill them myself, Archdemon. I am Princess Sapphire's guardian."

"Yet, you saw the Fae General's decapitation, and you didn't even flinch," Sloth noted as Princess Sapphire's dark brown eyes sparkled with unshed tears, and he took advantage of the little girl's distress to break her will down. "You must have seen this guardian eliminate other creatures like it was nothing for your safety."

"That is my? job, Archdemon." Xerxes said calmly, "I am hired to be Princess Sapphire's guardian to protect her at all costs. Her life must come first above all else."

"I demand Princess Sapphire to stop playing around." Not once did Sloth broke eye contact. "This mission isn't just a game."

"I'm not playing around." Her voice was loud and shrill as she insisted, "I would never work with this group unless you remove these Archdemons out of the picture! I have the right to change my mind if this mission doesn't align with my morals!"

"Morals..." Sloth clicked his tongue. "Did you know that witnessing a murder and not doing anything to help the victim can also be considered as a killer? The Demon? Kind called these evil souls the silent murderers." He stared at her, giving her a slow, calculating smile. It was the kind of smile before he decided a useless creature for being a waste of space. "There is a special place for you in Hell, Your Highness."

"Shut up! I did not kill anyone!" Princess Sapphire spat out.

"And are you proud of that?" Sloth continued to taunt her in an acerbic tone without breaking eye contact. "The more you tell me about your prestige as the youngest spymaster in the Summer Courts made me think that you got that position in the Summer Militia because of your status as the Princess and your connection with the Summer Monarchs."

"I got the position in the Summer Militia with my own talents and skills!"

"Are you sure about that, little girl?"

It was the second time Luna saw the Archdemon of Sloth moved so fast that even her vampire vision couldn't catch when he closed the remaining distance between them.

He shoved Xerxes to the ground as he grabbed Princess Sapphire's hair, forcing her to tip her head back, "You know what happens to entitled princesses? They get paralyzed—"

"Enough, Sloth!" Luna shot up from her seat and appeared behind him to curl his fingers on her Familiar's arm.

She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "I thought you are sleepy and exhausted, bastard. It seemed like you are having fun taunting Apollyon's sister." Then, with gritted teeth, she snarled, "Now, listen to me and get away from her."

Luna was grateful that Apollyon helped her drag Sloth back to their side and left Xerxes and Princess Sapphire alone.

"Didn't you tell us that the Goddess Hecate had visited you in your dreams? That you told her that you are ready to fulfill her mission?" Luna demanded, "You forget that we are saving all the creatures in this Realm if we found this mythical garden!"

Breathing hard from Sloth's abrupt assault, Princess Sapphire answered,? "Well, the Goddess never told me why. She only informed me that Xerxes and I shall aid you to find this special tree that bears fruits that would save all the creatures in this Realm from demonic possession. Furthermore, eating its produce will protect souls from corruption."

"You are helping the Fair Folk survive the evil and the dark forces. Are you wavering now just because you are in the presence of Archdemons?" Apollyon's near snarl made it clear that he wasn't in the mood to play games. "Princess Ourania and neither the Goddess Hecate nor me could help you if Hephaestus decided to return and steal you away to trap you into a volcano. Now, are you going with us or not? Keep in mind that I will never accept no for an answer. If you say no, I would put you to sleep. Just consider it as an abduction."

"Brother!" Princess Sapphire howled, "I don't want to go if those two Archdemons tag along!"

Eerie silence.

Princess Sapphire's lids fluttered closed.

Xerxes caught her limp body before she dropped to the ground.
