Occupied with doing your sleeping husband's duties to this Kingdom."

"And, how many Demonic Legion had he summoned to rebuild the fortress?"

Luna pulled the light yellow silk covering her nose and mouth and dropped them on the golden-patterned cushions before taking a seat.

The carved chaise lounge was long and spacious enough for two people to lie down next to each other so it confused her why Sloth had to sit right beside her, angling his body to look at her face-to-face.

She had gotten used to Sloth's strange habit of wanting to be near her every time they had a conversation but that didn't mean she didn't feel a little awkward about it.

What would her husband think if he saw them?

Pain and loneliness seemed to break her heart into two.

Well, she guessed he probably wouldn't care because he couldn't recognize her at all.

Luna noticed a subtle shift in Sloth's demeanor when he replied, "Only one Legion with a thousand lower-ranked demons like you requested. They were simply immortal slaves that wouldn't shy from hard work like living creatures do."

Luna arched an eyebrow at that.

Sloth flashed her a cold smile and continued, "Perhaps, some of these demons were vampires who had perished in this Kingdom after Luxen completely wiped them with Hellfire last year."

Fisting her skirts, she sat up straighter and summoned the courage to declare that Ravin must cut the number of demons down to five hundred.

"I don't want Ravin to have dreams of dominating this Realm and instilling paranoia to the neighbors." She added further.

"If they are afraid, it's their fault. Let them handle it." Sloth replied nonchalantly. "It wasn't like we have harmed the surrounding Realms." He avoided her gaze and muttered. "Well, not yet---"

"--Because we are not planning to. Our mere presence terrorizes them." Pissed off, Luna peeled the veil covering her silver hair and dropped that on the chaise lounge as well. "Because of Luxen's carelessness, I wouldn't be surprised if they just attacked us out of the blue, thinking that we are the one at fault . I could feel that they wanted to get rid of us."

"Let's not talk about that anymore."Sloth waved his hand in dismissal. "You know what is interesting?" He met her gaze eagerly, bringing his face closer to whisper in her ear. "Cederic is helping him for the meantime, kidnapping women."

She suppressed the strong urge to scream or else she would wake up the twins.

Of all places, why did Sloth even think it was alright to disturb her mind in the her children's nursery room?

"Kidnapping women?" Luna whispered back with clenched teeth.

"Ravin wanted to have a Consortium again." He shrugged. "He said he missed having them."

What?

"Anyway, you and the Vampire King can't call yourselves as rulers, if you don't have any subjects to lead. The Vampire Race had gone extinct because of what Luxen had done. You and Apollyon aren't even vampires anymore. If you don't want the rest of the Kingdoms to feel threatened, we had to have vampires in this Kingdom. A lot of them."

"And how are we going to achieve that?"

"Good thing that you asked, Empress." Sloth snapped his fingers for good measure as if he was ready to share his brightest idea." You see? Ravin and Cederic had originally planned to bring back the vampire refugees that had escaped from the Vampire Kingdom due to the devastation Luxen had caused---"

"---that is if they still managed to survive--"

"The Vampire King had successfully turned you into a vampire because of his pureblood, am I right?" Sloth interrupted her. " If we don't have enough female vampires to breed with the males, Cederic can turn the women we captured from other races into vampires."

"And then what? You'll breed these newly turned female vampires with the males to keep the vampire bloodline strong and pure pure?"

The frown lines marring her forehead seemed to deepen with every word Sloth had uttered.

"No. Once these women undergoes transformation, will set them free and make them run amok."

"Run amok? " Luna held the bastard's gaze intensely to make sure he wasn't being sarcastic. "Are you talking about rogue vampires with bloodlust?"

"Yes, it is the fastest way to turn as many vampires as possible. Male. Female. Children. Adult." His forest green eyes had an unholy glow in them when he smiled at her. "It is a bold message, encouraging the neighboring Kingdoms to mind their own business."

Had Sloth even thought about how many people would die from this just from these rogue women's aggressive feedings?

Kidnapping women was pointless if they didn't survive the transformation in the first place.

And, contemplating about the idea didn't mean she would agree.

"I think wild rogues would scare the neighboring Kingdom compared. to Ravin's Legion."

"I thought you wanted a lot of vampire subjects to cover up our intense Archdemon energies, Lune." His brows furrowed in confusion. "I assumed that the rest of the Kingdom still had no idea what you and Apollyon had become. If thousands of demons caused these royalties to fear, a thousand of newly turned vampires would be bearable , don't you think?"

She could only shake her head while massaging her temples at the absurdity of it all.

Luxen's Demonic Legion had just invaded the Material Realm last year, inciting a lot of chaos that almost prevented her from giving birth successfully, and now Ravin and Sloth wanted to perform the kind of stunt that Luxen and Beelzebub would do? ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"Whose plan is this again?"

That Archdemon was both insane and stupid.

These traits must be required to become one.

"Mine. Do you think it's brilliant?" Sloth playfully bumped his shoulder against hers and she glowered at him. Did he expect her to praise him now? "I'm amazing, aren't I?"

Luna felt a tingling sensation at the back of her head as the headache began to build up.

Archdemons were truly a menace in this world.

"I don't want to be a part of this." Luna had no time to handle this one because she was occupied with raising the children on her own. "Tell Ravin to do what he likes as long as his mother knew and approve of it."

Hopefully, the Autumn Queen would help that Archdemon stop with this sinister breeding experiments.

"Oh, yes. Queen Morgan agreed. She sent us some gifts from their dungeons."

"Vampiric Fae prisoners?"

"Yes. The Autumn Queen is very kind and dotes on her son very much. We can use them to breed with the women." Sloth glanced up at her when she was about to stand but the sudden wave of dizziness forced her to sit back down.

Goddess, she needed to sleep this headache away!

"Sloth, make Ravin and Cederic to return. Now." Luna ordered with her eyes closed.

She needed to slap the sh*t out of them.
