Crimson Overlord

Chapter 152 Premonition



Suddenly, everything seemed to blur like a mirage, and the empress felt someone was shaking her body, her head felt dizzy, and she opened her eyes, she was standing in the middle of the room, and Orpheus was the one shaking her.

”Are you alright? You become like this after I kissed you.” He told her with an innocent smile mixed with a bit of worry.

”What?” The empress was shocked; she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

‘Does that means that everything she experienced until now was nothing but a dream?’

The empress felt ashamed of this possibility; her shame grew after feeling the sticky sensation between her legs, and her underwear was completely drenched.

‘What the hell had just happened?’ Lillia didn’t know what to think of the current situation as she had never been in a situation like this, so she was helpless; her brain could not think of anything other than disappearing right now.

”Maria, what is the problem?” Orpheus said, trying to touch her, but she swatted his hand to the side and coldly declared.

”Leave. I want to be alone.”

Orpheus was shocked by Lillia’s sudden outburst but seeing her serious expression, he didn’t say anything and left.

Lillia felt bad for him, but she couldn’t let him discover what happened; she could die if that happened. To think she would have that kind of dream just by kissing him, she wondered how much she wanted to have sex for her to experience something like that.

”Ah! I’m so ashamed. I’ll contact him later. For now, I’ve to take a shower to cool off.” She said before walking toward the shower.

A few minutes later, the empress felt refreshed.

”Soaking in that heated water, feeling it hug every inch of skin so gently, breathing in the aroma of the bubble bath… it was my heaven… my mini-vacation… a place to breathe deeply and let my inner peace return.”

”Hah! Even though it was a dream, I can’t stop thinking about it.” The empress said dreamily while trying to touch herself but soon stopped.

”I must have become crazy.” She sighed before closing her eyes, even though she couldn’t stop thinking about it.

And it was exactly Orpheus’s goal. The seed had been planted and what was left was to let it bloom. He used his innate ability to make her see an illusion when he kissed her.

••••••

After Orpheus returned to the villa, he went to sleep with a smile on his lips; Kaguya joined him and slept beside him. She used his chest as a pillow and slept soundlessly.

She had a dream, and in this dream, she was sitting in what seemed to be a meadow. The meadow was a glorious expanse of grass and meadow flowers, grass rustling gently in the breeze. There was a narrow brook flowing through it choked with weeds. Tall water-mint with pale lilac flowers, like dozens of tiny bells, were growing at the brook’s edge.

In the near distance stood a little girl, she was dressed in a white piece princess dress, the little girl was dancing. Her hair flowed down her back like the black ink of a tilted piece of parchment.

The little girl was like a snapshot out of time. She can see her black hair blowing in the spring breeze; her youthful face turned toward the sun. The girl danced, danced like the joy of life within her cannot be tamed. In that one-piece princess dress, she could be anyone, yet no one at the same time.

She had that feeling that to her, the little girl was the world itself, and without her, she could not enjoy a simple flower or the rising sun. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to keep her safe from harm, but she could not protect her forever. She can only be there when she falls and stands well back while reaching for the stars.

Yes! She was sure the little girl could; she was her girl after all. She had that sudden feeling, and as though to confirm her feeling, the little girl turned her head in her direction for the first time since the start; no words can’t be used to describe the little girl’s beauty; she was like a doll, she had heterochromia eyes, her left eye had an icy blueish hue, strangely this eye remain her of her own, and as for her right eye, it was purple a beautiful purple eye.

The little girl opened her mouth and said,

”Mom”

It was like an electric shock passed through her body, she couldn’t talk and finally when she was about to speak everything started melting, becoming blurry and before the little girl disappeared she mumbled something and reading her lips movement she was able to comprehend her words,

”Take care of Daddy for me. See you soon.”

‘Wait’

She shouted, and naturally, everything disappeared as if it had never existed, to begin with.

“Huh??”

Kaguya fully snapped her eyes open only to be greeted with gorgeous scenery, a dark ceiling filled with numerous beautiful stars.

Blinking her eyes several times, Kaguya knew it was only a weird dream.

And yet….

Compared to all of her others, that dream felt far more unique, more special, as if it had a special connection with her; she couldn’t explain it if you were to ask, but she was sure that it was not a simple dream even when she was having a hard time remembering the girl’s feature except for her dark hair and heterochromia eyes, she couldn’t remember anything else no matter how hard she tried.

That figure of a little girl, whoever she was or if she existed at all, just held a magnetic attraction, a special connection with her.

However, before Kaguya’s thought could further delve into the dream, she felt a shift of movement.

Orpheus’s beautiful crimson eyes meet with Kaguya’s deep icy blue ones in a warm exchange. Waking up this way and seeing each other was somehow special, at least for her.

Frankly, ever since their most intense intimate session, Kaguya found it much easier to be intuned with her feelings. She had come to understand that she had fallen deeply for the mysterious youth before she even knew it. At the start, it was just a slight interest in his person before it evolved into liking before it became she was now in love with the little rascal.

She hoped he could fall deeply as she did; however, she knew she could never surpass, nor take the twin’s 1st place in his heart, no matter how hard she tried. Nobody could change this fact; she was sure of it; still, she wanted a place in his heart, and judging by the way he was looking at her right now, Kaguya was aware that he was slowly falling for her, besides Ella, she often hears him mumble his name in his sleep.

When he was with her, Orpheus had that look in his eyes only she could understand.

It all reminded Kaguya how satisfying it is that only she could make him like this.

And instead of talking, Kaguya got closer to Orpheus’s face and began to cutely rub her soft nose against his surprisingly tender yet a little bit cold one.

”Thank you for appearing in my life.” She said before kissing Orpheus on his lips.

”You welcome. I’ll do anything for you except kill myself or one of my girls, though.” He said jokingly.

”Oh? That good thing to know. So, tell me how your new girl taste. You enjoyed yourself just before coming here. I can smell her scent on you.”

Hearing her words, Orpheus was truly surprised as he looked at Kaguya before asking, ”Are you a dog? How did you know that? Am I sure it wasn’t you? It’s someone else. Tell me who it’s.”

”Because of the wonderful quality awakening I just experienced, I’ll tell you something.”

”I’m listening.” He said.

”Women are scary and mysterious creatures. They are scary as well. I felt the scent of another woman on you as soon as I came. I know you went to meet another woman, but I won’t ask you what you did. Please be careful.”

”Don’t worry, I’m always careful,” Orpheus replied

”It’s today class will restart, isn’t it?” Kaguya asked while massaging her temple. She did not want to go back as it would mean her time with him would be shortened, and she felt that Ella would make a move after noticing that she had become his woman; her intuition was telling her that. She had this premonition.

”It seems so,” Orpheus replied, not really interested; if not because he wished to spend some time with Ella, he wouldn’t want to waste his time playing the student, but being a student is not bad; he was discovering a lot of new things he had never experienced before, which made the experience worth it.

”I wonder if we will be put into the same team for Ruin exploration?” Kaguya wished for this, but Orpheus only chuckled while thinking it was time to uncover the secret behind the Ruins. With Brünhild, he hoped it would not be hard.
