“Xerxes. Don’t give the necklace to Queen Morgan, or I’ll bury you and Princess Sapphire alive.” Ravin bellowed without even looking at those they left behind.

Xerxes nodded and wore the necklace over his head before the blue feather settled on his collarbone without protest.

Princess Sapphire closed her eyes and covered her ears just in case the item was cursed.

“Nothing happened, Princess,” Xerxes murmured close to her ear.

The instant she opened her eyes, she checked his body parts to see if they were complete and hunted some nasty bruises.

She sighed with relief when she found nothing.

It turned out she had nothing to worry about.

Her best friend was safe from the wrath of Hecate.

The necklace didn’t harm Xerxes, so Hecate must have allowed anyone to wear it other than Ravin.

Princess Sapphire frowned as she stared at Ravin’s back and folded her arms over her chest.

That demanding Archdemon didn’t have to make all this fuss and antagonize the Autumn Queen just because of a necklace.

Rain raised a hand to give everyone a small wave of farewell as he marched out of there with quick strides.

The creatures in the arctic wastelands, who were busy looking for the Garden of the Four Seasons, watched the two with hidden amusement.

The strange interactions between the Vampire King and the temporary General brought laughter to the Fae Militia.

​ So this was the plan Ravin had in mind.

Princess Sapphire guessed that the Archdemon wasn’t as stupid as she thought.

Someone from the Order of the Selcis even shouted a suggestion to use their god-given wings to get to the chariots faster, but Ravin didn’t listen.

Princess Sapphire also doubted that  Ravin would want to carry the Vampire King if he wanted to drag his feet.

Literally.

Apollyon kept looking over his shoulder as if he was waiting for anyone to stop him from going further from their initial location with Ravin.

The confidence in his jutted chin withered away as the seconds ticked by.

When the Vampire King glanced at Queen Morgan, she avoided his gaze without a word, but Princess Sapphire could sense her guilt.

If the Vampire King had expected someone to jump in and tell him to remain here, he would be waiting for the crows to turn white.

Nothing would be accomplished.

He would have a lot of regrets afterward if he denied the fact that he was the one wasting everyone’s time.

She thought it was her responsibility to tell him the truth as a sister.

She brought her gloved hands to the corners of her mouth and shouted, “Don’t fight the Archdemon, brother. You have to go with him. Please do it for your wife. Luna. Hurry up and teleport.”

“If the Garden of the Four Seasons wouldn’t appear despite my absence, someone has to pay for this gamble when I get back,” Apollyon responded out loud, and it echoed in the eerie stillness of the glacial desert.

“I will pay for it, Vampire King.” Queen Morgan declared and waved her hand to dismiss him. “Now, go. You aren’t needed here.” Queen Morgan whispered the last sentence. Offended, her brother’s cheekbones had turned red as if he was tempted to explode, but when the Queen added the word ‘YET,’ he calmed down almost immediately.

His Prussian Blue eyes glowered at them with accusing eyes.

In the past, Princess Sapphire had assumed that it was challenging to rile her cold-hearted brother up, but now, she could almost memorize every reaction to the triggers.

Her brother’s intuition might have told him not to be as stubborn as Ravin, so he allowed the Archdemon to lead in the meantime.

In the blink of an eye, Ravin and Apollyon disappeared for an instant.

She gathered that they weren’t that far enough from the invisible Garden of the Four Seasons because it hadn’t appeared yet.

Twenty minutes had passed, but she still trusted that both had tried their best to move as fast as possible.

Fortunately, the colossal dome-shaped garden began to emerge like a hazy mirage when Ravin and Apollyon’s Chariots had covered enough distance.

It appeared close to a snow globe, as if the mythical garden was covered in thick transparent glass.

Everyone didn’t dare move from where they stood as they witnessed the divine working on its magic.

Slack-jawed, their round eyes had also widened in amazement.

Princess Sapphire sucked in a quick breath at the beautiful sight, and Xerxes gently grabbed her arm to stop her from running towards it like a madwoman.

Even if they were heavenly divine beings, archangels were still dangerous if they chose to.

Queen Morgan and the rest started to see a beautiful angel with enormous wings, but the vision began to disappear when Hellfire surrounded them once again.

The urge to let out a panicked scream was palpable in the atmosphere and a few other soldiers did, but the loud, visceral shouts quickly died down.

“This isn’t Ravin’s doing.” Queen Morgan muttered as she glanced around them.

A harbinger of death in the shape of a colossal owl had arrived, and all of them quickly realized that it was Kotari’s pet animal that appeared in front of them.

Princess Sapphire had no idea why but her stomach roiled at its lousy timing.

Was  Kotari about to bring them some awful news?

Of course, the owner made himself known after a few seconds.

Jora withdrew his sword from the scabbard behind him. “Kotari!” He called out angrily at how irresponsible he was as a part of Queen Morgan’s Cadre. “You just got here.”

Why are you late?” Sylvain asked suspiciously.”What were you doing?”

Kotari flapped his Fae wings without responding to Jora’s query.

Princess Sapphire had noticed that Hellfire, similar to what Ravin had summoned at the Great Hall, had burned Kotari from head to toe.

She doubted that every living creature there could ignore the fact he was so calm when he should have tried everything to put it off.
