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

Princess Sapphire of the Summer Courts

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

Making things a little bit chaotic, huh?

She thought that it would be easy to do if their life wasn't on the line.

If she and Xerxes weren't careful, their names would be on the Dukes' kill list next to Sylvain.

However, Princess Sapphire believed that Beelzebub's legion would think twice about angering a divine being's daughter.

"Leave this up to me, Xerxes." She whispered.

Xerxes noted the confidence in her face and nodded with reluctance.

The Archdemon of Lust was the highest-ranking demon among their enemies and she was certain that he had specific orders for Beelzebub which, hopefully, might also include not messing with the God of Fire.

Afterall, the bastard just visited the Wine Tasting Ceremony at Hazelnut Manor and almost made all the Archdemons present to kill each other. Those kind of news could travel fast.

Yes, they could pass the time by making their leader talk and reveal more information.

Harmless conversations prevailing over massacres is always a good sign.

If the battle with swords hadn't begun, maybe Princess Sapphire could start a war with words.

And if Beelzebub was the Ancient Fallen Angel he said he was what would become of him if he would lose his cool in front of his Legion and the entire Fae Militia just because of young fae's seemingly innocent questions?

"I dont understand, Queen Morgan. Kotari had been with you the longest in your Cadre but you don't even know who he truly was? Don't tell me that nobody in the Autumn Courts noticed that he was a demon?" She demanded loudly for everyone to hear in the highest pitch she could muster.

Xerxes frowned at her, probably not liking the 'spoiled-brat' character she was trying to portray.

That question was supposed to be addressed to the Queen but just as Princess Sapphire thought, it was Beelzebub who responded.

"A Marquis is the best when it came to glamours. I might not as powerful as a Duke to catch Merle's attention but I'm also not that weak of a demon to blow my cover up easily and reveal myself. After I exited one of the portals from the deepest circles of Hell, I have assumed this character for most of my life here in the Autumn Courts that the mask had become my identity. A Fallen Angel like me is also undetectable to the demons who were created after me." He grinned as if she had praised him.

Princess Sapphire raised her head to look the Marquis in the eye. "Queen Morgan can easily detect any activities that were related to demons and souls. Her magical expertise is closer to death and Underworld. I find it also impossible that she wasn't able to sense these dark souls trapped under the ground of the Autumn Kingdom when she had the ability to banish them herself."

Queen Morgan kept quiet as she waited for Beelzebub to spill his secrets.

It took him a moment to answer as if he was choosing his words carefully."Good question, demigod. The longer Queen Morgan was exposed to my presence, the more convoluted her intuitive abilities become in differentiating a demon in their glamours and those who were not. This was also the reason why she couldn't see through Sloth and Ravin's glamour at first. It took her a while to realize they were Archdemons after the Vampire King and the Empress told them the truth to gain their trust."

So, he was determined to find a way and make it seem like everything revolved around him, huh?

"Why can't Ravin and Sloth find out who you are?" She folded her arms over her chest. "Both of them were Princes of Hell. Was it really because your glamour is foolproof?"

He gave her a patronizing smile. "Because I am smart and careful when it came to dealing with them just like how I dealt with the others."

Beelzebub must have engaged in this discussion because he already knew they were going to win.

After all, they already thought that all the Faeries present here will not be able to live and tell the tale.

The anger setting her heart ablaze made her voice more powerful. "I also doubt you know who they were if they hadn't reveal themselves during the Council Meeting. You were there to witness it as Kotari. You also had no idea who they were in the beginning."

Princess Sapphire thought it was time to plant some seeds of doubt in Beelzebub's mind.

"Perhaps, Ravin and Sloth had figured you out but they simply dismissed you because you are way below their league. You're just a Marquis. As you said, you aren't that powerful so Ravin, Sloth and the Empress didn't want to waste their time on you when they noticed what you are." Interacting with Ravin and Sloth made her aware that demons weren't keen on others poking at their pride.

On that note, not only did these predictable demons didn't want their ego attacked with thoughtless words from their enemies, most demons would always steal an opportunity to brag and she decided to end that. "They weren't sure you were a threat and you hadn't done something alarming as a member of Queen Morgan's Cadre to make her suspicious of you. That was the reason they let you be so as not to risk Queen Morgan's ire. They probably assumed that you are an insignificant lower-ranked demon that the Autumn Queen had tamed."

There was a dangerous glint in his purple eyes as he glanced down at her. "You shouldn't underestimate any types of demons no matter what rank, Sapphire. You don't know what they are capable of."

Princess Sapphire swallowed hard.

Beelzebub's cold, hard expression on that angelic face made her legs weak but once she started with pissing someone off, it didn't seem right for her to stop without having the last laugh. "We all know that hierarchy is there for a reason. You said that a Marquis rank lower than these Dukes. What did you do to make them act like your puppets?"
