Bab 89: Betrayal*

Apollyon wasn't known for being extravagant for no reason.

The Vampire King's infamous orgies of excess usually consisted of females from the Consortium and other male guests held at the Vampire King's Castle.

Drunken guests are confronted with a dozen royal vampires and consorts smeared with blood and bounded wrists tied to the oversized king beds and couches.

Everything in the Vampire King's castle and the Apollyon's lair was covered in gold, adorned with jewels and mother-of-pearl. 

Besides using the finest marble and decorations such as fine wall paintings and gilded colonnades, the Vampire King's Castle was also a technical marvel with soaring domes, revolving ceilings, ornamental fountains, and even waterfalls running down the walls.
