Vampire King Apollyon

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

"It didn't matter since you are going to follow his footsteps." Apollyon's nostrils flared when the Luxen's president declared loud enough for everyone in the vicinity to hear.  "You are not the Vampire King anymore, Apollyon." 

What did he mean that he wasn't the Vampire King anymore?

Was he able to kill his Military General, or should he call the president's bluff?

Cederic was a formidable vampire to kill, especially now that Lilith's curse on him had been removed and he finally returned to his original form. 

Apollyon wouldn't believe the president not until he presented him with one of his Cederic's ashes in front of his own eyes.

The demon didn't stop with just that announcement. 

He stretched his purple winged arms and soared a bit higher than  Apollyon as if his flying height would determine his imagined superiority over him.

Next, the demon threw his ' gigantic vulture-skull wearing head' and laughed so hard that Apollyon wished he choked and fell to his death.

How could Apollyon compel this bastard to talk faster so that he could spill more details?

Then, Queen Morgan would give him, and the rest of the soldiers positioned at the bay and hidden underneath the embrasures a signal to start shooting at these demons with their magical arrows.

Now, she just had to say the word.

Apollyon also sensed the thousands of gazes of Faerie Sentinels and Knights of the Autumn Militia that Queen Morgan had gathered to defend the northern entrance of the Fall Court boring holes behind his back. 

The Fall Queen's armed forces had turned up to support them in this upcoming battle.

"The Archdemon of Lust commanded me to tell you this wonderful news but I am sad because it looked like you didn't like it."  The demon shook his head and clicked his tongue mocking disappointment, "The impression you have made on me was that you left your own Kingdom defenceless—" He pointed an accusing finger at Apollyon and switched it to the Autumn Queen, "--while you are here with this other woman protecting this small territory that didn't even belong to you. How selfless and admirable for the Vampire King to do something that? A true gentleman or you are just stupid, Apollyon? "

Apollyon didn't fight back, or he would lose this first war of nerves, so he continued to replicate Sloth's blank expression.

"You didn't care about the Vampire Realm when it's under siege, I am certain that you aren't taking care of your pregnant  Empress too. Where is she?" The president even glanced around and even squinted behind his Sun Chariot, expecting for his pregnant wife to sit there on the cushions, "Wait until my Master find out about your neglect as her husband."

Apollyon noticed that the demon had worn the necklace Luxen had stolen from her recently, "You are wearing her necklace—"

"—so that  I could better track her with her scent and the energy she had imprinted on this item." He explained with a wide grin. "Anyhow, wiping out both  human and vampire population in your Kingdom is  the best time our Master had in a long while. The Archdemon of Lust was happy that the Empress had brought him here and he was able to escape Hell for the second time." 

He mused that Luxen had told his servant a bald-faced lie or maybe, he couldn't differentiate his bitch who had attached herself to Luna's physical vessel from Apollyon's beloved.

"Master Luxen didnt want to waste the second chance he had been given so he looked for a Kingdom he could call his own. You unwittingly handed the Vampire Realm in a silver platter and we hoped you would do that as well with the Fall Courts." 

  "It is my Kingdom, president, so the final decision will be up to me!" 

"My aim from the start wasn't to give you any options to decide on, Queen Morgan." 

She pointed her Angel Sword at him and said darkly, "Say that again once your Legion gets inside the Fall Courts." 

"Here, Apollyon." The president gestured at Fei's corpse hanging in the air like he was a newly washed laundry by two demonic maidservants, appearing to be monstrous vultures, "I will give the rest of the High Priest's corpse as a gift that I hope you will accept. I had come so from a faraway Kingdom just to send the rest to you." 

Apollyon abruptly shouted out, "No!"

"He's already dead, Apollyon. Don't worry this is just a weak physical vessel." His words were meant to reassure him, yet his hand told him a different story as he waved it in dismissal. "If we saw each other in the Underworld, he will thank me for doing him a favor." 

Luxen's president snapped his fingers, and the two vultures' claws released their hold on the High Priest's thin and bony shoulders, indicating that he was tortured and starved before he died of stab wounds.

He had been disrespected so much by this devil, being treated like an animal.

Fei was made to look like he got mauled by hungry monsters as if he deserved it just because he was one of Apollyon's Cadre.

Apollyon was about to jump out of his Sun Chariot, stretch his Faerie wings and swoop down to collect what was left of Fei's torn, decaying flesh. 

Instead, the Fall Queen's words made him pause, "You don't have to grovel at the demon's feet, Vampire King. Allow the Faerie Sentinels to catch it for you." 

Wincing briefly, Apollyon figured out that Queen Morgan's message was to keep his pride as the Vampire  King until the end—whatever might happen.

After that sudden drop., Apollyon straightened his posture and stayed still, not looking down to check if the Fae sentinels behind them had caught and kept all of Fei's parts intact.

"The Master would also like to send a message to his beloved Empress Luna that he apologized for having sexual congress with her in Hell by shapehifting into your form."
