Chapter 374: Luna’s home
As Orpheus and Luna arrived at the Morningstar Mansion, they were greeted by the family’s servants. The servants, their faces etched with a mixture of joy and sorrow, welcomed them back home.
Luna, her heart filled with emotion, entered the mansion. The familiar halls and rooms brought back a flood of memories. She remembered the happy times she had spent here as a child, playing with her siblings and exploring the vast grounds.
Orpheus, in his disguise as a butler, followed Luna into the mansion. He found a room in the servants’ quarters, a modest space compared to the luxurious rooms of the main house.
As he settled into his room, Orpheus couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness. The Morningstar Mansion, once a symbol of power and prestige, was now a shadow of its former self. But despite its decline, it was still home, and it held a special place in his heart.
Luna, her heart filled with emotion, sought out her mother. She found her in one of the mansion’s sitting rooms, surrounded by family members.
As Luna approached, her mother’s eyes lit up with joy. She rushed forward, embracing her daughter tightly. It had been years since they had seen each other, and the reunion was filled with emotion.
Luna and her mother spent the afternoon catching up. They talked about their lives, their hopes, and their dreams. Luna shared stories of her adventures with Orpheus, her voice filled with excitement.
Her mother listened attentively, her eyes filled with pride. She was so happy to see her daughter thriving, living a full and adventurous life.
As the day drew to a close, Luna and her mother continued their conversation. They had so much to say to each other, so many stories to share. It was a heartwarming reunion. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
That evening, Luna and her mother decided to indulge in a spa night. They set up a relaxing atmosphere in one of the mansion’s sitting rooms, transforming it into a temporary spa.
They prepared soothing baths, filled with fragrant herbs and essential oils. As they soaked in the warm water, they chatted and laughed, their worries melting away.
After their baths, they applied face masks and performed gentle massages on each other. The atmosphere was peaceful and serene, a perfect way to unwind after a busy day.
As they relaxed, Luna couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for her mother. She had missed her so much, and she was grateful to be reunited with her.
As the night wore on, Luna and her mother drifted off to sleep, their bodies relaxed and their minds at peace. It had been a perfect evening, a moment of pure bliss and relaxation.
Once the mansion was quiet, with everyone asleep, Orpheus slipped away. He ascended into the night sky, his figure a silhouette against the moonlit landscape.
From his vantage point, he could see the entire domain, the sprawling mansion, the surrounding forests, and the distant mountains. A sense of melancholy washed over him as he surveyed the scene. The Morningstar dynasty, once so powerful, had fallen from grace. The mansion, once a symbol of their glory, was now a shadow of its former self.
Orpheus sighed, his heart heavy with sorrow. He had witnessed the decline of his friend’s family firsthand, and it had left a deep mark on him. He missed the days when the Morningstar family had been respected and feared. He missed the power and prestige that came with being a member of such a powerful dynasty.
As he stood there, watching the moonlit landscape, Orpheus couldn’t help but feel a sense of longing. He longed for the days when he had been a powerful demon lord, feared and respected by all. He longed for the thrill of battle, the excitement of the hunt.
But he also knew that those days were gone forever. The Morningstar dynasty was a thing of the past, and he could not change that. He had to accept the reality of his situation, and move on.
With a heavy heart, Orpheus turned and flew away. He would return to the mansion in the morning, but for now, he needed to be alone. Time for some reconnaissance and a little bit of fun.
In another domain of the demon realm, a majestic mansion stood as a testament to the power and wealth of the Baal family. Twice the size of the Morningstar Mansion, this opulent residence was a symbol of the family’s prominence.
Inside the mansion, amidst the ornate furnishings and lavish decor, was the private chamber of Alastor Baal, the young master of the family. Alastor was a striking figure, his tall stature and handsome features making him the envy of many. A single horn protruded from his forehead, a mark of his noble lineage.
His room was a reflection of his personality, a blend of luxury and power. The walls were adorned with tapestries depicting scenes of battles and triumphs, while the floor was covered in rich, plush carpets. A large window offered a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, showcasing the vastness of the Baal family’s domain.
As Alastor sat at his desk, surrounded by scrolls and tomes, he contemplated the future. The Baal family had risen to prominence in the absence of the royal family, but he knew that their power was fragile. The demon realm was a dangerous place, and there were always those who sought to undermine their authority.
Alastor was determined to ensure the continued prosperity of his family. He knew that he had a responsibility to his people, and he was prepared to do whatever it took to protect them.
Alastor Baal, the young master of the Baal family, had a sinister plan in mind. He saw in the fallen Morningstar family an opportunity to further his own ambitions. By proposing a marriage between his family and the Morningstars, he could effectively devour the family, absorbing their power and influence into his own.
The prospect of marrying Luna, the last surviving member of the Morningstar family, filled Alastor with a sense of anticipation. He knew that the Morningstars, desperate to regain their former glory, would be eager to accept his proposal.
"Well, she will only become my concubine," Alastor mused, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
"What I truly desire is to swallow this entire family, to absorb their power and make them a part of my own."
With this sinister plan in mind, Alastor couldn’t wait for its plan to unfold, his heart filled with a dark and twisted ambition.
