Crimson Overlord-Chapter 358: Departure 3

The villa, once a bustling hub of laughter and joy, felt strangely quiet without Kaguya. Orpheus and the other two girls tried to fill the void with their own games and activities, but it wasn’t the same. The playful energy that Kaguya brought to the group was missing, and the atmosphere was tinged with a sense of sadness.

Orpheus, in particular, felt the absence of Kaguya deeply. He had grown close to her, and her departure had left a gaping hole in his heart. He tried to focus on spending quality time with Nemesis and Luna, but his thoughts kept returning to Kaguya and the fun they had together.

Nemesis and Luna, sensing Orpheus’s sadness, tried to be understanding. They knew how much Kaguya meant to him, and they tried to fill the void in his life. But it was difficult, and they could see that Orpheus was struggling.

One evening, as they sat together on the porch, watching the sunset, Orpheus finally broke his silence. "I miss Kaguya," he admitted, his voice filled with sadness.

Nemesis and Luna nodded, their eyes filled with sympathy. "We miss her too," Luna said. "But we know she has to be with her mother."

Orpheus sighed. "I just wish she could be here."

Nemesis reached out and took his hand. "I know," she said softly.

"But we’ll see her again soon."

Orpheus smiled weakly. "I know."

As they sat together, watching the stars appear in the night sky, Orpheus felt a sense of peace wash over him. He never really entertained the thought that he would miss Kaguya, it was a strange but not bad.

Nemesis and Luna, their laughter echoing through the villa, disappeared into the kitchen, leaving Orpheus alone in the garden. He settled into a comfortable chair, a weathered book in his hands. The pages crackled as he turned them, his eyes scanning the lines with a focused intensity.

A bottle of aged red wine, its label a testament to its vintage, sat beside him on a small table. He poured a glass, the rich, ruby-colored liquid shimmering in the sunlight. He took a sip, the wine warming his throat and spreading a pleasant warmth throughout his body.

The combination of the book and the wine was perfect. The words on the page seemed to come alive, their meaning resonating with a deeper intensity. He was lost in the story, his mind transported to a different world, a world of adventure and intrigue.

A half an hour later, Orpheus finished his book. He closed his eyes, savoring the lingering taste of the wine and the afterglow of the story. It had been a moment, a moment of solitude that he would cherish.

The dining room was bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. The table was set with elegance, the china delicate and the silverware gleaming. A centerpiece of fresh flowers adorned the table, their fragrance filling the air.

Orpheus, Nemesis, and Luna sat around the table, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames. The conversation flowed easily, a mix of laughter, shared stories, and thoughtful reflection. Orpheus, his spirits lifted by the afternoon’s solitude, was particularly animated.

The meal itself was a masterpiece, each dish a symphony of flavors. The food was fresh, the ingredients carefully selected. As they ate, they savored the flavors, their senses heightened by the deliciousness of the meal.

The atmosphere was one of contentment and camaraderie. There was a sense of peace and harmony, a feeling that they were truly connected. As they finished their meal, they sat back in their chairs, satisfied and content.

The meal finished, they moved to the living room, their laughter and conversation continuing as they settled into comfortable chairs. The fire crackled in the hearth, casting dancing shadows on the walls.

Orpheus, his eyes half-closed, leaned back in his chair, a contented sigh escaping his lips. "This has been a perfect day," he murmured.

Nemesis and Luna nodded in agreement. The day had been a mix of relaxation and excitement, a perfect balance.

"Let’s do something relaxing now," Nemesis suggested. "How about a massage?"

Orpheus and Luna exchanged excited glances. "Yes, please!" they said in unison.

They took turns massaging each other, their hands moving over their bodies in rhythmic strokes. The tension in their muscles melted away, replaced by a sense of deep relaxation. As they massaged each other, they fell into a comfortable silence, their minds empty of thoughts and worries.

The massage was a perfect way to end the day.

The moon cast an ethereal glow through the bedroom window, illuminating the room in a soft, silvery light. Orpheus, Nemesis, and Luna lay together in the king-sized bed, their bodies entwined in a comfortable embrace.

Orpheus, his head resting on Nemesis’s shoulder, felt a sense of peace wash over him. The warmth of their bodies, the soft touch of their skin, and the comforting rhythm of their breathing filled him with a sense of contentment.

Nemesis and Luna, their arms wrapped around Orpheus, were equally content. They had spent the day together, sharing laughter, love, and companionship. The night was a continuation of that perfect day, a moment of shared intimacy and peace.

As they drifted off to sleep, Orpheus felt a surge of gratitude for the women in his life. They were his world, his everything. And he knew that as long as they were together, he would never be alone.

’’Time to finish things on that side. Just wait a little bit more my friend, I’m coming to rescue you. You have suffered enough.’’

Those were his last words before drifting into sleep.

The morning sunlight streamed through the bedroom window, casting long, dancing shadows on the walls. Orpheus stirred, a lazy smile spreading across his face as he felt the warmth of the bodies pressed against him. He reached out, his fingers tracing the soft curves of Nemesis’s back.

Nemesis groaned softly, her eyes fluttering open. She turned to face him, her gaze filled with a sleepy contentment.

"Morning," she murmured, her voice husky with sleep.

Luna woke up in turn. The three looked at each other before bursting in laughter at the same time. It was refreshing to woke up together like this, if possible they would do it all the time the girls thought but now wasn’t the time to entertain such a thought, finally it was time to depart, Luna and Orpheus disguising as his butler must leave for the demon realm, they had postponed this enough, it was time to act and Nemesis despite acting calm was relentless inside, she couldn’t wait to see her father again, hopefully everything goes well on the other side, she had a mission to accomplish here as well.
