Vampire King Apollyon

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

Clenching his fists hard until his knuckles turned white, Apollyon replied with gritted teeth, "There will be no defying the odds if I don't believe everything she said in the first place."

"And what if there is a possibility that the Three Fates said the truth, what would you do if you only take the action when it is too late?" Queen Morgan demanded. She didn't wait for his response and continued as the people in the Council Room observed in silence. Why would they join if it had nothing to do with them? "The gods and goddesses who favored the two of you will do everything in their power to save even those who were already on the point of being seized by their fate. You told us? that the Empress was still Hecate's High Priestess, isn't she? If what the Moirai said was true, then? you can ask Goddess Hecate to save you for succeeding in your mission. That's the least thing she could do while endangering her High Priestess and a pregnant one at that."

"This is the first time I have witnessed the Three Fates with my one eyes and the instant they opened their big mouths is to talk bad about my wife and child?! They had nothing good to offer the world if all they do is bring misfortune to others with their big mouths spouting nonsense that is full of doom and gloom!"

Apollyon couldn't stop his anger as he argued, but he couldn't.

Sadness will replace anger, and he would feel naked and unprotected without his violent armor. It was a defense mechanism.

His survival mode could either be in the form of outrage or cold and indifference.

If he attempted the latter, it might hurt his wife to have an irresponsible husband who didn't give a damn about her and their future children.

That was not the image that he would like to paint for himself.

He was determined not to be his mother or father.

"The Three Fates usually speak of dark prophecies specially if they saw the utmost need to inform the individuals who will play a major role in it. Unfortunately, I wasn't even given the chance to ask them if the Goddess Hecate's mission would be a success!" Queen Morgan complained as her deep, husky voice rose in ire, "Having the ability to call upon the Moirai does not give me the permission to control their words, Vampire King."

Apollyon shot back. "If I were you, Queen Morgan, I would have stitch each of their mouths and forbid them? to speak again."

As she completely ignored Apollyon's statement,? Lachesis made eye contact with him and asked,? "You want to hear a good news then, Vampire King? What do you think, sisters? Should I tell him a good one so that he would be convinced that we are only trying to help them with the warning?"

Klotho squinted at him with dark eyes full of resentment and said, "We should have told him the good news first if he was going to act like an arsehole."

"Let us forgive him, sisters." Lachesis glanced to her left and right to persuade Klotho and Antropos in a placating yet almost mocking tone. "The fool had forgotten that we are goddesses in our own right."

At that instant, he swallowed his rage down.

It felt like his saliva was made of fire until it grew and grew into a dragon and blew its destructive flames onto his stomach.

"I will let you off the hook, Vampire King, because I know how you and your cursed bloodline will make? you suffer in the future." Atropos said.

Kloth blinked at that, "Sister. You shouldn't have told the Vampire King about it because there is nothing that can be done. It is their destiny to be separated in this life."

The words she spoke about his cursed bloodline triggered something inside him.

"I can't!" Apollyon bellowed as fear overwhelmed his mind, and the flames in his stomach had turned into a firestorm. "I wouldn't accept this."

"I hope you can accept the good news I am about to tell you, though, as my apologies, Vampire King. I admit it is still my fault that I made you angry and caused immense distress on your pregnant wife." Antropos began to speak of another future prophecy, "You don't have to worry about the Lilith. Luna knew her own physical vessel best the most. If she continued playing her cards right and be alert at all times, Lilith would never be able to take over the Empress again if the Archdemon wouldn't catch her off guard. Don't make her feel weak and nourish her with your blood everyday because two demons had been taking advantage of her right now. Drinking Ravin's blood will help make the Empress resistant to Lilith's surprise possession."

"Possession?!" Queen Morgan's breaths were like cyclones as she swayed a little, "The Empress is possessed?" Kotari appeared beside her to support just in case she fainted from her terror, "I couldn't feel the demons inside her."

"That's because she is dormant, Queen Morgan." Luna replied quietly as if she had lost all her strength.

Apollyon didn't take himself as a coward, but he couldn't even look over his shoulder to check on his wife and look her in the eye.

He was too guilty since it was all his and his bloodline's fault why their family suffered like this.

"You can't feel the demon unless she had taken over, Queen Morgan." Klotho stared at the Autumn Queen, and she answered for Luna's sake, "The Empress did a good job on securing her position as the owner of her physical vessel after a couple of their internal fights.. She had successfully proven that she was the dominant soul between Lilith and her but she must maintain it and drink the Vampire King's and her other mate's as well."
