Crimson Overlord

Orpheus would have never expected to encounter her like this. He was too focused that he didn’t pay attention; back in the forest, he had noticed their presence but not seen them. Today was the first time he saw her face to face after a long time; no, there was something wrong here.

Orpheus frowned because the two seemed to share the same soul wavelength, which was unusual. While he was trying to comprehend what was happening, the twins’ goddesses froze, especially Ella. She felt like she was seeing a long-time acquaintance, there was something else, but she couldn’t detect what it was. She felt a head-splitting headache. She was trying to remember something but failed to do.

Compared to her sister Lily was not suffering as Ella, she recognized Amber right away.

”It’s you!”

Finally, Amber was back; in reality, she was shocked by the twins’ appearance. Although they tried to disguise themselves, they failed as she did recognize them, but it was because of her sharp senses.

Before Amber could talk, Ella cut in; her voice was directed at Orpheus.

”Did we know each other?” She asked.

Orpheus stayed silent for two seconds, smiled, and said.

”Yes, see you at the academy. Let’s go, Amber.”

”Yes! Master.” Even though she had a lot of questions, she didn’t voice them out as she knew she would not get the answers anyway. She was truly curious about the relationship between her master one of the twins’ goddesses.

Under the twins’ stares, the duo disappeared into the crowd. Finally, Lily snapped out and raised his voice a little bit.

”Who did he think he is?”

”Maybe the person inside our dreams,” Ella responded, a bit emotional.

Lily almost choked on her breath, the rate at which they dreamed had been increasing lately, and there was always a man in those dreams; although his face was blurred, they felt like he was someone important to them.

”Even so, what?” Lily was not about to let Orpheus’s behavior slide like that.

He just looked at them, but the look of infatuation other males has when looking at them was missing; seeing this Lily who hated men looking at her like that for the first time felt like she was not beautiful; she felt like she was missing something which made Orpheus not react at all and this pissed her.

Ella could read her other half’s thoughts and couldn’t help but shake her head. They must not wait for too long here, or else their father and the guards chasing after them would catch up soon. The twins had sneaked out to go to Wratharis, the reason being that they didn’t wish to take the royal train together with their lecherous cousin. Ella understood that Orpheus dragged Amber with him because if they kept standing there talking, it would draw too much attention, and with their pathetic disguise, they would be recognized in an instant, and trouble would follow.

”Let’s go and stop acting like that; it’s getting on my nerves,” Ella said before walking toward one of the super origin trains. Lily pouted but still followed.

Soon, their father arrived together with twelve guards, but unfortunately, the twins were long gone.

Massaging his temple, he said, ”Those girls are too stubborn. Let’s go back.”

Together with the guards, he left, going back.

At the same time.

In Neon’s international train station.

A beautiful girl in white around nineteen walked out of the train station lobby with few people.

A long white dress, a green bracelet, and a dagger hung around her waist. White hair and light red eyes.

She dressed herself up simply, but she looked as beautiful as an illusion.

The young girl walked in silence, and her eyes were cold.

The train station was heavily crowded because students arrived in the capital to enroll in one of the two strongest academies. Police officers were patrolling the station to stop any problem.

The young girl in white walked past a pair of special police officers as if nobody were there, and the faint fragrance on her body drifted away. The special police officers sniffed the air and looked around, but they saw nothing.

Several luxury origin cars were parked in front of the train station lobby, and a map of the entire capital was hanging on the wall.

The young girl stood in front of the door with her head up. Every part on the map of the imperial city appeared in her sight.

She stood there quietly. Her eyes wandered and then fell on an island northwest to the capital without anyone noticing.

Suddenly, there was a different flicker of emotion in the woman’s blank, numb eyes. Like a dream, she had a kind of ethereality that overwhelmed all beings.

Time passed slowly. In a flash, fifteen minutes had passed.

Finally, the young girl in white moved. She took a deep look at that island and turned silently. Her white hand, however, unconsciously grasped the dagger hanging around her waist.

It was a scarlet and almost crystal clear dagger, gorgeous and delicate. Dense and elegant dark golden lines spread on the dagger, looking complicated and mysterious.

The young girl gripped the dagger.

Her presence vanished completely, and she walked slightly faster. If she were an assassin, she would be a deadly one.

As she walked, she took the dagger down, placed it in front of her eyes, and drew it out of the sheath.

The fine and dense dark gold lines on the scarlet and transparent blade were more complicated and elegant. They shone the word engraved on it could be read.

Scarlett

It was simple, yet it meant a lot.
