"I'm afraid that you will cast me aside and be busy with the baby." Apollyon replied, scowling. "I can't stand my wife ignoring me all day long to soothe the crying babe."

Luna admired that her husband was honest with his feelings and wouldn't hesitate to tell her what he thought. But she had to say something to assuage his insecurities as a husband. "No, Apollyon. I will have time for you because—" She paused, weighing her next words.

She squinted at Apollyon as she watched his reaction closely. "--we will take turns about taking the baby." She gave him a half-shrug and flashed her a sphinx-like grin. "I'm not the one who tried very hard to make an heir for you."

A pause.

Apollyon nodded slowly.

"That's true. I was the one who kept on inserting my seed inside you because I enjoyed the act more." He murmured as his Prussian Blue eyes darkened like storm clouds—a complete irony to his next statement—but there was fragile innocence twinkling behind his intense gaze. "But I'm ecstatic about Leo as well."

'Really?' Luna raised an eyebrow in suspicion. 'He didn't look like it, though.'

Still, Luna felt somehow relieved even if she was unsure if her husband was ecstatic for real. "Good husband." Luna lifted her chin in a challenge as she asked him a rhetorical question, "You will not run away from your responsibilities with me, do you understand?"

"Or what?" He asked, his lips curved upward in amusement as he poked her in the cheek, "You will castrate me with Archdemon Magic?"

Gritting her teeth in annoyance, Luna grabbed his hand and pushed it away from her face. "Yes. I will castrate you and put your prick in a jar and place them underneath my pillow."? She deadpanned, batting her eyelashes. "In memory of my dead husband, Apollyon, who is good in bed but can't even take care of his spawn.

From Apollyon's cheeky countenance, Luna knew he was going to tease her further. "That's a brilliant memento. Go and do that. It can give you wet dreams if you use it and make yourself come. But it would hit different without your husband."

Wincing, Luna slapped her husband playfully on his shoulder, and her husband had to gather her wrists in his hands to make her stop.

"Apollyon!" Luna complained. "That's a really nasty image."

"Good." Apollyon's smile was wide. His blue eyes lit with a mischievous inner glow. "If you are turned on by what I said, I would have? to question your sanity."

"You are ridiculous!" She stared at him grudgingly as she pulled her wrists from his grasp.

"Just for you." Apollyon let her go easily. "I like making you laugh."

Luna slapped a hand on her forehead and rubbed his palm across her sweaty face. "I don't know what to do with you."

"Then, do me." He smirked.

"Later." Luna replied.

Crossing her arms over her chest, she tapped her foot on the old moat bridge impatiently. "If you have any concerns about being a father you should tell me now."

"Wife." Apollyon held out both of his hands to hold hers as they stood face to face at the side of the bridge, their fingers linked together. "The baby might hate me because I don't have any experience with it. How do I hold it so that its tiny head wouldn't get crushed with my strength?"

"Apollyon." She sighed, feeling hopeless as she squeezed his large hands. "Why would you crush our baby's head, you idiot. She's not even in this world yet but you are already thinking about these accidents."

"I might do it accidentally that's why I'm afraid to hold its fragile form." He looked concerned, and Luna would have laughed if it wasn't for that grim twist in his mouth. "What if I drop it?"

"You're making excuses." Luna scratched an itch in her cheek as she replied.? "Maybe, you don't love our future baby enough."

"No." His Prussian Blue eyes were dark and serious. "I'm just want to be careful with our baby. I think I need to borrow someone's babe in the Village to practice with it."

"Apollyon." She scratched her head as she felt the heat prickling down her scalp. "You might get accused with child stealing. Just practice with your black cat in Vinca inn alright?"

Apollyon and Luna decided to return to Vinca Inn after watching the sunset here at the Summer Courts, according to Princess Sapphire's suggestion.

She said that the golden Summer Castle would look like one giant star in the orange sky.

That will be a sight to behold—like a fire sparked hand of the universe stretched and stroked the heavens in an eternal blaze similar to a phoenix.

The only thing they could do was to stroll around places where they were allowed to visit as guests as they chatted about every little thing their eyes have set on, taking notes on things which they could find useful just in case it gave them more information about the Summer Monarchs.

It was amazing that they never ran out of something to talk about.

They might stumble across a few Summer Fae from the ruling nobility, but the way they stared at them disconcerted her.

At least, they were respectful enough to bow their heads and greet them.

After that, they would run away from them like they have seen ghosts.

That wasn't the only instance that they were treated like that.

It appeared like the servants in the Summer Castle also avoided them like the plague.

Luna appreciated their avoidance because they didn't like attention anyway.

But what was the reason?

"What do you think, wife?"Apollyon asked without looking at her.

His gaze was focused on the gilded ivory columns of the hallway. If the sun was a castle it would look like this one. "I told you that we shall have three days to decide if we want to stay here in the Summer Courts."
