Hell's Consort

Chapter 19 - Hermit (18+) (edited)

Yes, the night was still young, but Luna was getting old.

Luna was sent back to her seat hurriedly after the commotion with the Vampire King.

With no one to talk to, since she was the new High Priestess and the Vampire King had threatened everyone that he would kill anyone who touched her without his permission, she was officially off-limits.

Well, that advantage alone had caused Luna to cover her mouth to stifle another yawn as tears leaked out of her droopy eyes.

Let it be confirmed, as the legends say...

The vampires never sleep, especially during orgies.

The Concubines, especially Lady Clarence, were already busy taking care of the Vampire King and the other nobles' needs.

She watched her fellow consorts pleasure the vampires in such a wild display that it made her feel like an outsider who was looking through a spy hole.

Females and males alike were shedding their clothes like it's nothing.

Like seeing naked people in the hall was as normal as night and day.

It was very disconcerting to watch for the first time ever that goosebumps broke out on her skin.

She cradled her head in one hand and stared into space with boredom.

She couldn't possibly eat until the dawn broke while the vampires surrounding her were busy mating like rabbits.

Luna didn't want to be a part of this any longer.

She kicked Cederic's legs under the table.

She caught the military general's eye as he continued to kiss a big-breasted, comely wench.

The second time she did it, Cederic abruptly stopped pawing her breasts with his small hands, pushed himself out of the lady's lap, and beckoned a finger at her.

When the lady brought her head closer, Cederic murmured something in her ear.

It must have been scandalous since it made her squeal in delight.

Luna remained in her seat, blank-faced, as the little menace approached her.

"Get me out of here, Cederic," Luna whispered.

"My Lord," Cederic gritted his teeth in annoyance. "If you want me to do your bidding, like your own personal servant, do not drop the honorifics."

"There is something I'm curious about, My Lord." Luna smiled saccharinely sweet. "As the new High Priestess of this Kingdom, and possibly the King's savior, where do I belong in the Hierarchy?"

"You haven't done anything to prove yourself worthy, and here you are acting haughty because of your newly acquired status. Don't let the power get to you, My Lady." Cederic warned. " I didn't become the best military general overnight for nothing."

"Oh! Enough with the threats, My Lord." Luna dismissed the conversation with a wave of a hand. "I was teasing you. I'm ecstatic to know no one will kill me without the Vampire King's permission. I love that I can share the fact with everyone, including you… just in case you could be planning something."

Well, not even the military general can touch me now.

"I could request for your death if I wanted, My Lady."

"But who in their right mind would dare to volunteer to be the one to save the King then?"

Cederic opened his mouth to argue, but Luna silenced him with a finger.

"Will you wait a century or humor me instead?"

"What do you want, Luna?"

"Well, I just wanted to get out of here without people noticing, and so, unless you don't want to be free of me, I could use some help from the kindest military general I know."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Give me my room and my private haven," Luna said. "I wanted to sleep. Besides, a virgin High Priestess should not be witness to this kind of sex game. I do not deserve this kind of ill-treatment. What if it's going to tempt me into doing something I would regret?"

"Not my problem, is it?" Cederic smiled a not-so-innocent smile that was out of place from his child-like looks. "Anyhow, that old man is in charge of settling you in your chambers and to brief you on your upcoming mission."

Luna sighed heavily. "Well, do you see that old hermit in this hall?"
