Chapter 181 - Third Husband
**********************
The Empress Luna
**********************
"Girl, you certainly haven\'t heard of the saying that good people die young--" Lilith shook her head in pity at Luna for being so clueless. "--but since you are a vampire and I can\'t kill you directly in the Vampire Realm, I will just have to trap your soul in Hell for eternity."
Fate had been so cruel to her, and she couldn\'t help but lament over that.
Of all people in the Vampire Realm, why had Lilith chosen her soul to mess with?
With the unshed tears stinging her eyes, Luna\'s hands shook as her voice trembled into an agonizing whimper. "There is no justice in this universe."
The High Priestess nodded in agreement as she philosophized, "There is still justice in the universe, darling, but from time to time, it gives advantages to the evil."
Lilith clapped excitedly as she exclaimed, "Nevertheless, I was ecstatic to know that my Archdemon brothers were quick to form a blood bond with you so that they can easily pull you away from the Vampire Realm whenever they want."
Lilith whispered in a conspirational glance. "Sacrifices were easy to find, but a link to the Upper Realms wasn\'t."
"A link to the Upper Realms?" Blinking rapidly, Luna verbalized her confusion, "What do you wish to accomplish with me, Archdemon?"
"I had no—" Luna trailed off as she avoided eye contact, thinking about the consequences of her telling the truth.
Was it safe for Luna to admit that the Goddess Hecate had taken her High Priestess magic because she had lost her virginity to Apollyon?
Ravin already knew about it, so perhaps, Lilith had figured it out too.
Despite that, Luna chose to hide that fact and kept her mouth shut.
She must let the Archdemon of Envy speak first.
"Girl, you are part of a much grander scale of plans engineered by the Archdemon of Lust." Lilith began explaining, and Luna pretended disinterest to throw the High Priestess off. "My blood brother was a genius at this type of thing. We were in bed together just recently—"
Eyes widening in shock, Luna\'s mind had zoned out at the High Priestess\' questionable statement.
In bed together?!
With her blood brother and Envy\'s fellow Archdemon?!
Luna\'s mouth fell open, and she let out a loud gasp, which made Lilith\'s lips curl in amusement.
She shouldn\'t forget this, but Luxen was supposed to be one of her husbands!
What the actual fuck was happening here?
Lilith was \'fucking\' her blood brother—the Archdemon of Lust—while Luxen had tied a cord to Luna\'s soul as her husband!
She struggled to find the right words to express her disgust and outrage at this incestuous relationship between Lilith and Luxen.
Alright.
Mayhap, Luna didn\'t care about who Luxen had sexual congress with--even if technically, the Archdemon was one of her husbands—but why did this bitch, Lilith, still desire Apollyon even if she was with Luxen?
Oh, that\'s right.
This High Priestess—the Archdemon of Envy—will never be contented with what she had and would take another man--who already belonged to someone else--to fill that empty, bottomless void of self-hate inside her rotten, stone-cold heart.
Lilith wasn\'t worthy of even an ounce of love if she kept this up.
The Vampire King would never love Lilith, either.
Luxen and Lilith might have only used each other for sex--similar to asking your blood sibling to have your itches scratched, and they would also return the favor.
Goddess!
Luna shook her head to literally exorcise all the unwanted images of naked Archdemons--Luxen and Lilith--in her mind.
"--and Luxen had told me that he had tied a soul thread to you, so he pretty much bonded to you, making him your husband." Lilith continued, and Luna\'s horror must have shown in her countenance for the High Priestess had smiled smugly as she watched Luna, "If your soul thread with Ravin fails, then we can use Luxen\'s instead."
Ew!
May the Goddess Hecate and Artemis help her!
Luna wouldn\'t be dealing with the Archdemons any longer if they had sexual relations with a mad witch.
It was a nauseating material Luna had tucked away into the deepest and darkest recesses of her mind, specifically at the farthest corner of her brain.
She had no business speculating about the relationship of this villainess and her other husband.
Luna only had Apollyon, and that was the only thing that mattered.
Closing her eyes, Luna recalled what the Archdemon of Lust had told her back at Fei\'s underground shelter, where she had unwittingly opened a portal to Hell.
There was a thorny ball of dread settling at the pit of her stomach as she asked in a quiet voice, "So, Luxen still desired to continue his grand plan to let all the demons from Hell break loose and invade the Upper Realms?"
The High Priestess rolled her eyes. "Well, obviously."
Luna didn\'t understand what sorcery the Archdemon of Envy had spoken of.
Still, one thing had become clear as crystal when she had added two and two together.
"All of you Archdemons in Hell wanted to own a physical body in the Earthly Realm because you aren\'t satisfied with body possession any longer. You couldn\'t control the body, especially if you possessed someone whose soul had strength similar to yours. "
Luna looked at the High Priestess straight in the eye, and the way Lilith had avoided her intense stare had solidified her accusations. "You find it difficult to take the mind, body, and soul completely fully. Archdemons have pride in their possession because it was a reflection of their identities. Of course, you wouldn\'t possess someone weak and didn\'t have an ounce of power, but in exchange, you have to deal with the creature\'s stubbornness to take back their power from you."
Lilith narrowed her eyes at Luna as if she was the one to blame for making her reveal the Archdemons\' plans.
"Oops." The High Priestess breathed as she sighed with a flair of drama, giving Luna a nonchalant shrug. "I guess I had revealed too much."
