Princess Sapphire of the Sumnmer Courts
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jora was leading the Fae Militia by himself and that wasn\'t enough to win this battle even if they were heavily trained to follow orders.
Queen Morgan must have been shocked from all the revelations blowing up in her face which also affected her abilities to recover.
The knowledge that Ravin, the Archdemon of Gluttony, was her son must have disturbed her mind and made her weak against Luxen.
The Demonic Legion attacked and the Fae Militia tried their best to defend their territory even if their enemies were adamant to turn their Kingdom into Hell.
The lower-ranked Knights in the Fae Militia are the weakest in mind, easier to kill and possessed by the demons.
They slit their throats immediately if a demon succeeded in owning them.
That way, their vessels wouldn\'t be used to kill their fellow Knights.
Before this second siege, Ravin had helped them cultivate mental strength by summoning evil spirits and stray demons in the Material Realm to forcefully possess them.
Hidden anxiety and fear was palpable in the atmosphere with every act of violence.
Each of the victim\'s bodies were mutilated, dehumanized and debased.
It was an image that would drown out all of her good memories.
Growls and agonized screams wil soon become the stars of her nightmares.
Princess Sapphire made it a point to numb herself like she used to do everytime she felt like her emotions would make no difference in the situation.
They would either fight and die or do nothing but still die.
The strong, icy wind biting her exposed skin made her teeth chatter.
In that moment, Princess Sapphire realized that she must show her true power.
She had hidden it long enough to keep Beelzebub talking.
"Xerxes, I want to call on Hephaestus... to help us." Princess Sapphire felt like throwing up if she forced herself to adress the god of fire as her father after the bastard tried to kidnap her twice and caused trouble for the Empress and the Vampire King. "If he wanted to force me to come back to the Summer Courts with my mother, he might as well help save us from all these demons!"
She glanced at Xerxes and their eyes met. "You aren\'t going to stop me, aren\'t you?"
Xerxes gave her a half-shrug as if telling her to suit herself and Princess Sapphire nodded her head.
Her partner had stopped caring at this point and that made her a little scared.
Nevertheless, she was prepared to stand her ground.
Then, she raised her hand in the air to produce a collosal fireball that was a brighter and hotter than the sun.
"Good."
"Ah. There is no use arguing if a princess had already decided on something."
It was an indirect way of saying he was stubborn.
"All you have to do is protect me." She told Xerxes confidently and aimed for Beelzebub and clusters of demons behind him.
Her fireball reached them in the blink of an eye.
The demons scattered like cockroaches in the night as the light shone upon them.
Not only was she able to kill some of Beelzebub and Luxen\'s demons but she also sent a damn good signal to Hephaestus.
Only a blind parent couldn\'t see his child\'s call for help from miles away.
When the demons who examined the ground for the source of that massive, fireball hitting hundreds of demons in their Legion realized that it was Princess Sapphire who did it, they descended to the ground to attack them.
Unfortunately, the Marquis got there first.
They halted in their tracks when they saw Beelzebub raise his hand.
Those demons ignored the three of them instead and left them in favor of killing the other Fae soldiers.
It was like there was an unspoken rule that Beelzebub had staked his claim to kill us himself.
"Ah, as expected of a demigod." Hands on his hips, the bastard examined her from head-to-toe. "I have never seen the true extent of your power."
"Well, thanks for the compliment." She replied sarcastically.
Apollyon and the Archdemon Princes had trained them well for this battle.
"I usually see Xerxes showing off his tracking and fighting abilities while you stay in the background like a spoiled princess, doing absolutely nothing."
It hadn\'t even sunk into her brain yet that the compliment had turned into an insult.
One minute, Beelzebub was standing a couple of feet away from Princess Sapphire like a casual observer and the next, he was already charging at her.
It took her a moment to realize that the Marquis\' aggresive face got clearer and clearer the quicker he separated the distance between them.
"Sapphire!" It was Queen Morgan who saved her and furiously attacked Beelzebub with her obsidian swords that glowed red whenever she began casting spells.
She was more than ready to take her revenge.
She didn\'t expect the Autumn Queen to recover fast after all the things Beelzebub had told her.
At least, her wrath made her calculated and didn\'t turn him into an emotional wreck.
Princess Sapphire and Xerxes fought Beelzebub and she was able to inflict damage on him with Queen Morgan\'s help.
The magic circles with figures and symbols inside them had resisted the Marquis\' strikes.
She continued to slash at her target and succeeded in injecting poison into the left side of the Beelzebub\'s torso.
A pained grunt escaped his lips.
His purple eyes darkened when he realized that the Queen he had underestimated had bathed her swords in melted selenite.
That particular crystal was poisonous to demons since it had the ability to slow their movements down and weaken their demonic energy.
If she could just stab this traitor multiple times---
Queen Morgan didn\'t finish her thoughts as hundreds of winged metal behemoths appeared poured out from the hole in the Autumn Kingdom\'s barriers.
The Dukes of Hell morphed into monsters to match them.
Xerxes, Hephaestus must be around!" She announced with both fear and exhilaration.
"I don\'t see him anywhere!" Princess Sapphire heard him cough as he tried to find her while navigating through the fog from another one of her explosions. "Beelzebub had disappeared too."
Both of them glanced at the sky.
As if on cue, Ravin and Apollyon appeared out of nowhere, riding their chariots while blue sparks of light sorrounded them.
Their presence was like a signal to the Demonic Legion to go all out.
All the demons in Luxen\'s Legion charged at Hephaestus\' automatons without hesitation.
It was a relief to see Apollyon and Ravin\'s flying chariots heading towards Luxen.
"RAVIN!!" Queen Morgan screamed.
In that split second, the Marquis had materialized in front of Ravin and placed his palm on his forehead.
Once their skin made contact, erratic bursts of red light sorrounded them.
It almost blinded everyone.
Even if Apollyon had no idea what was going on, he hurriedly grab Ravin away from the stranger while the Archdemon of Lust forced him to withdrew from the blackhole he used to summon more demons.
Luxen didn\'t want the Vampire King to interfere with his brother and his servant\'s business but another being who wasn\'t supposed to be there got into the mix.
It was too late.
The five of them had been sucked into this other dimension.
Xerxes ran to her side and murmured, "I think I just saw this Angel you were talking about."
