Vampire King Apollyon

"Don't interfere with your magic at the duel, husband." Apollyon was astonished when Luna's fists tightened on the fabric on his shirt as she gave him a determined stare. "It's against the rules, you understand?"

The dangerous glint in her emerald eyes was a warning.

Apollyon's hand remained clasped on her naked waist that he wished he could somehow find a blanket to cover her naked form.

Her nudity was a glorious sight to behold.

Yet, the need to discuss other important things regarding the duel made him ignore the visual feast in front of him to focus on what her wife said, " Apollyon. You? have to promise, or we might break the rules and lose."

He might have a stubborn streak similar to his wife, but there was an obvious difference between being stubborn and stupid.

Apollyon? leaned his face closer and gave her a sardonic grin,? "I will be ready to wield magic from the sidelines if I caught my mother cheating in the duel."

You need to be quick and try to save me if that happened." Her thumb and forefinger landed on his patrician nose, giving it a gentle pinch, as she whispered back, "I am more confident if you watched my every move."

"I will. I would be glad if? you get rid of my mother? for everyone's safety."

"Killing her is too merciful." The dark rings around her irises glowed red. He witnessed the sight in Sloth and Ravin' eyes before when they blazed at him for looking down on the two Demon Kind who were demoted to become Familiars. "I would rather damage her spine and suffer paralysis for the rest of her immortal life."

"You are even more ruthless than me." Apollyon chuckled darkly as his large hand moved from her pregnant waist towards the small curve at the side. "Your Familiar, and I will keep an eye out of Sir Tristan and my mother just in case."

His gaze strayed from her serious face to her four-month-old baby bump as he wondered if their unborn child wouldn't slow her down during the battle.

He already asked her wife about this concern a thousand times, but she only reasoned it out with the phrase 'pregnant women weren't crippled'!

He couldn't fight against that argument.

She was strong, and she could do a lot more to protect her child.

"Yes. Help me change so that I could get to Slo--" His beloved was about to get off the cot, but he stopped her by gripping her forearm.

"How can you be so sure that he is reliable?" Scowling, Apollyon asked in a low voice, "His blank face and lethargic demeanor tells me the complete opposite."

"As my familiar, he will be forced to obey whatever command I have due to our binding contract."

"Are both of? you talking about me?"

Both Luna and Apollyon were startled when the Archdemon of Sloth spoke from the other side of the door.

"Sloth."Luna was the first to react, and she covered her nipples with both hands by reflex.

Turning her head slightly towards the door, she snapped,? "Are you eavesdropping on us?"

Sloth replied, We have been here in a few minutes, waiting for you to come out of there, so? that we could finally return above the Hypogeum."

Apollyon sighed with frustration as he carefully got up from the cot without making a sound.

His jaws clenched as he pondered about what other things they have done which the Familiars heard.

After all, he had successfully seduced his wife before the duel.

Of course, she couldn't resist him.

Ravin growled, "Princess Ourania and Sir Tristan might not know what you are doing, but they already went back to the arena and left us behind."

"You're still naked, Lune?"

Apollyon abruptly jumped out of the cot when the two Archdemons destroyed the door he had locked, falling in a loud thud.

He almost flew towards Luna's light pink gown, picked it up from the ground and threw it over her exposed flesh.

"You are not allowed to look at my wife, Archdemon."

"We are here, familiars, Vampire King," Ravin replied, to which he can only be described as the calm before the storm. "No need to cover up when I have already seen it all. We have heard and seen everything."

"I didn't. Not yet." That Sloth bastard had the nerve to complain!? "I haven't seen anything worth seeing yet."

Luna's familiars peeked at the small chamber to cover the fact that they were stealing naughty glances on the rumpled dress turning into a makeshift blanket.

It was a hopeless attempt for decency.

Apollyon's fists clenched so hard his knuckles went white.

He curbed his desire to get into a fight and pummel the strange Archdemon because he needed all his strength to protect his wife in the arena.

Keeping still, his wife commanded. "Sloth. Get out of the room!"

Her strong voice was slightly muffled by the fabric covering her face.

"I'm out of the room, Master." Sloth answered in amusement. "No one told me not to open the door either."

"Stay outside and close the door!"

"Please put on the? plated armor, Amare, unless you want to battle with Princess Ourania naked."

Apollyon's shoulder tensed, giving Ravin an intense glower as he advanced towards him, but his wife quickly solved everything.

"Shut up for ten minutes, Ravin." His wife swatted the fabric over her head so that she could glare at the Archdemon of Gluttony, who stood on the other side of the door, never crossing the threshold.

A huge smile cracked Sloth's countenance as he glanced at Ravin, who had gone mute before glancing at Luna. "You didn't shut me up."

The Archdemon of Gluttony pressed his lips in annoyance as he had his arms crossed over his chest.

"I had a mission for you, Sloth."

Luna rose from the cot with caution, so she didn't flash anything to her Familiars. "If you managed to decapitate Sir Tristan in this duel, I would allow you to play with the bees on the apiary for an hour without my supervision."
