Chapter 315 - The Set-Up
**********************************************
The Archdemon of Lust
Prince Luxen from the Second Circle of Hell
***********************************************
"You saw me earlier while I was 'scrying' on the mirror, and her tattoos were obvious while you were lovemaking."
"Ah, Lilith, I didn't know you had it in you to watch two people coupling," Luxen's lips curved as he lifted a finger to poke Lilith's soft cheek. "I know you are watching me specifically and not my Domina."
Squinting, Lilith turned her head quickly to bite at the insolent finger, but Luxen had pulled it quick, making Lilith chomp on air.
As he chuckled, Lilith crossed her arms over her chest, refusing to feed into Luxen's ego as she changed the subject. "The waxing crescent had disappeared, and only the full moon and the waning crescent were left."
It was interesting how his brain had worked in that instant.
He finally had this sense of understanding of Lilith's plans of using the magic she learned from Hecate instead of their own.
Luna was very much connected to Hecate now that she had the Mark of the Triple Moon Goddess.
Luxen paused for a minute before he let that sink in.
He snapped a finger and exclaimed. "Luna had left maidenhood to become a mother."
Then his delighted tone shifted to a husky murmur, "The mother of my child."
Lilith tilted her head, raising a curious eyebrow at him. "I see you still didn't get it, Luxen."
With a slow shake in the head, Lilith clicked her tongue. "The Mark of the Triple Moon Goddess was already there her chest before you dipped your wick inside her. You didn't notice them the first time because you were so eager to mate with the wench." Lilith said, wearing a pinched expression. "That lust of yours could be your strength and your downfall, Luxen."
"When I saw her naked for my delectation, I couldn't control myself. The musk of her arousal—" He made a show of sniffing the air deeply and exhaling loud. "It was heaven to my senses."
"Her scent and the feel of her skin was divine. " He pressed a kiss to his fingers in exaggeration. "She felt so exquisite I give my compliments to her Creator."
"Ravin had aroused her so much at his Pleasure Room, so I made it my responsibility to take care of her afterwards." Lilith gave her a side-eye, and Luxen was happy enough to fulfil his mission to annoy her. "I am a gentleman to her like I am to you, sis--"
"I'm sorry to interrupt you with your dreams of finally having the wench to yourself--"As she raised a sassy finger and settled it over his moving lips, Lilith continued, "--but I just want to tell you that she was also pregnant with the Vampire King's child."
Luxen flinched, taken aback.
He looked at her as if Lilith had spoken a language he didn't understand.
"What?" He blinked rapidly, at a loss for words while he processed the enormity of that revelation.
Lilith jutted her chin and gave her a smug grin, realizing she had been successful at shutting him up.
Domina was also pregnant with the Vampire King's child?
Luxen's insides felt like there was nothing there except for anger and disappointment.
So, that bastard had claimed her first before Ravin and Luxen could.
With rasping breaths, he felt his body burning up from all the suppressed rage bubbling inside him like acid.
Luxen gritted his teeth and snarled, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Lilith dropped the smug grin when she saw his countenance. "There was a reason I didn't tell you this, Luxen."
Luxen's knuckles went white from clenching too hard. "I should have killed the baby when I had the chance."
Lilith took a step backward away from him in fear, but Luxen wouldn't let her.
"You can't kill the baby here in Hell. I'm afraid that if you did something to the baby's soul here, it would also affect Luna's body in the Vampire Realm." Lilith stumbled over her words as she explained everything to Luxen in a flash. "Hypothetically, if you were indeed successful in killing the baby's soul here after I told you about it, the baby would also be dead on the Vampire Realm while it was still inside Luna's stomach."
Luxen raised a hand, and Lilith flinched, thinking that he would slap her to death for keeping Luna's pregnancy a secret.
"I would not hurt you, sister." He grabbed her wrist so she couldn't run away from him. "Please continue."
Lilith paused, gauging Luxen's reaction carefully just in case he decided to throw caution to the wind and go berserk and destroy her Magicarium. "If her baby with Apollyon had already formed an underdeveloped body in the Vampire Realm, the wench would die from the toxicity of a vampire miscarriage while she couldn't go back to the Vampire Realm and do something about a rotting unborn child."
"I wouldn't let Luna either because it was supposed to be me who should be inside her body," Lilith uttered with conviction.
Lilith was dedicated to owning Luna's body so she could be with the Vampire King forever.
It's not an Archdemon's job to care for other creatures, and neither would they care about stepping on others for the sake of their desires.
They do what they want.
Lilith would be unstoppable once she got inside his Domina's vessel.
Luxen commended her for the sleepless nights so that she could come up with this.
This just proved that anyone could do anything as long as they put their mind to it.
"If you endanger her immortal body in the Vampire Realm, it might also endanger Ravin and you, somehow, but you had broken off from the blood bond and planted a seed inside her womb." Lilith reasoned out as she glanced up at him, her pleading grey eyes beseeching him. "You wouldn't be affected if something might happen to Luna, and most of all, your Amare had carried your child, and if she knew what's best for her, the wench wouldn't leave anytime soon."
