Chapter 209 - Lust's View On Love
**********************************************
The Archdemon of Lust
Prince Luxen from the 2nd Circle of Hell
***********************************************
Luxen had lied.
He never intended to marry Luna, not when he had access to so many women who worshipped the ground he walked on.
Luxen just wanted to keep her beside him.
It was the first time he had experienced a woman who didn't want anything to do with him, and that was a new one.
He didn't lack companionship in bed, but most of the time, it can get boring when the women would throw themselves at him because of his sin.
He didn't want to be arrogant, but many females with weak minds fell in love with him at first sight.
He didn't even have to utter a word when they were already charmed.
Those strong-willed women whom he desired but were acting hard to get?
He didn't waste his time and used Archdemon Magic on them, especially if he was horny.
He can only penetrate a woman once.
He was the literal definition of the men who said 'wham-bam—thank-you-mam!' and the patron god/demon of lustful men who played with female's hearts.
Sometimes, Luxen pitied the ladies who believed his disciples' lies all over the Realm.
These females always, ALWAYS, mistook Lust for Love, and that's when a woman got destroyed.
Luxen had coveted that starry, doe-eyed look of a young virgin woman the first time they experienced sexual penetration, not noticing their satisfied seducers wearing their clothes in a hurry.
He would have liked to capture those pretty red flush on their glowing faces in paintings and display them on his hallways because he found it mesmerizing compared to the faces of those women who were on the brink of their orgasm.
Love mixed with Lust gave Luxen more power than the Lust of men raping women and killing them after getting their instant fix of gratification.
If other people find out about this kink of his, his fellow Archdemons might say Luxen was a hopeless romantic, which was bad for his reputation.
All the Lust in the entire Upper, Middle, and Lower Realms were more than enough to charge him with power without putting in the work than the other Archdemons because Lust existed in every person's heart.
It was funny how these stupid young girls couldn't see the man's indifference as if he couldn't get away from her—using her then discarding her like an object--because it was already soiled and dirty.
These boys would just leave these girls on the bed with their cum on their soft stomach, not even bothering to clean them up.
Luxen, for the life of him, couldn't understand why foolish females preferred to live in their fantasy rather than seeing the truth.
They were too blinded by 'love.'
Some men were great seducers compared to these assholes, but still, they leave trails of heartbreak in their wake.
Lust can give Luxen absolute power, especially after a coupling.
He snatched a couple's lust and satisfaction out of their minds.
When there wasn't love that should have been there before they lusted after each other, the couples felt empty because it was just mindless fucking.
Millennia after millennia have passed.
Few creatures only realized that a bond between couples could only be strong with love and intimacy because Lust was fleeting, and Luxen feeds off of it.
Luxen would just snatch it right under couples' noses.
Once fake couples noticed that the Lust was gone and the Honeymoon Phase was over, they break up and end up hurt.
The females were often the victims most of the time.
If Luxen found a heartbroken woman that was gorgeous enough, he would visit her in her dreams and sex her up.
They would forget about having sex with him the next morning.
After binding these broken-hearted females to him, they became physically, emotionally, and mentally distant and will remain closed off and detached by other males.
That way, they wouldn't get fooled again.
Luxen had pitied them, and that's why he did it.
Luxen didn't want them to be hurt anymore, so they must remain single for the rest of their life.
It would feel like a curse, but it's for their own good.
This was why he had sexual relations with the Archdemon of Envy because he pitied her, that's all.
Poor Lilith!
She had chased after that Vampire King for so long, even in the afterlife.
She still wanted to be with him and did everything she could to get back to him, refusing to accept that the Vampire King had turned her down a hundred times and only treated her as a High Priestess.
She even told Luxen herself that The Vampire King had treated her like a sister—a family.
There was no hope that it couldn't get closer than that.
It was probably a case of a vain and spoiled woman not giving up because she couldn't get the Vampire King under her seductive spell.
She felt like she wasn't powerful and beautiful enough.
It was a losing battle.
She was a perfect match to be the Archdemon of Envy.
A man can tell you a million ways that he didn't like you.
Even if they don't verbally communicate, they will show it with their actions.
They don't talk to you.
They don't contact you again.
They don't make plans and make time for you.
They don't plan to include you in his life.
These reasons were a female's cue to leave these men alone, but some women just don't get it.
These women chase some more, they beg, they get hurt, and they blamed others when it was their fault.
Luxen always narrowed his gaze at Lilith every time they had this conversation.
She said that men were too confusing when the former High Priestess was an expert manipulator.
It's just that she was crazy with Luna's husband!
She wouldn't just wake the fuck up and see the truth for what it was.
Luxen didn't even bother arguing because Lilith was adamant about possessing Luna's body.
Well, Luxen wouldn't care as long as he will have Luna in the end.
