Crimson Overlord

Let’s rewind time to few days before Orpheus and Kaguya arrive in the Core region.

In a room somewhere inside the core region.

The room’s color was blue, with beautiful murals on the wall that had been painted by someone who knew what they were doing.

The White-clothed man who was watching Orpheus and Torr fight earlier was now speaking to someone, a woman.

This woman sat on a queen-sized bed. She wore a form-fitting nightgown which was pristine white. It pooled around her like liquid silk. The silk caressed her skin like a cool autumn breeze. Her tall frame and slender body were like a model handcrafted by Gods. Her blue eyes, like the sea, were calm and emotionless. Long, wavy blonde hair, so smooth and silky, almost as if it was tailored from gold fabric. An extremely beautiful lady, a mature type of beauty.

Strangely, this beautiful blonde-haired lady possessed a pair of fox ears on her head while from her back, seven tails could be seen. The blonde fox-eared lady smiled; her smile was so beautiful, so bewitching that it could steal any male soul; even a woman would be charmed.

Even the white-clothed man did not dare to look the lady in the eye for fear of being lost in her eyes forever.

The White-haired man coughed and spoke.

“Pardon my intrusion, My Queen. However, I saw something interesting today.”

The fox lady did not reply right away. She possesses an ability. The fox lady could let her see into the souls of those around her, and over the past centuries, she’d been seeing people for who they truly were. She used this ability on his mate, and from his soul, she saw how happy he was to have stumbled upon something that could make his Lady queen happy. He would do anything for his Lady queen, even forfeit his life. He lives for his queen.

The fox lady smiled, happy with what she had seen. Finally, she spoke; her voice was charming, like the mermaid’s voice in a fairytale.

“Oh? Tell me what you saw, Mathias.”

Mathias’s body trembled, not from fear but excitement. Oh, how much he longed to hear this voice. No matter how many times he had heard it, he never got tired of it; he still loved it. If only this voice and his Queen could only be his.

He had this sudden selfish thought. He quickly concealed this thought, sealing it in the deepest corner of his soul. He existed solely for his Lady queen, not the opposite.

Unbeknownst to him, what he thought he had concealed, his Lady queen has seen it. However, she did not get angry when she saw his mate desire, simply because it was natural for any living thing to desire something that could solely belong to them.

It was good that Mathias knew that his desires could never come true; if not, he would be disciplined. The fox lady was excited when she thought about punishment.

‘Maybe I should punish him?’ she asked herself; however, soon, she discarded this thought, at least not now.

‘Let’s hear what he has to say.’ She decided.

Finally, Mathias explained what happened, not knowing that his Lady queen had already seen it when she used her ability on him.

After explaining what happened inside the Inner region, Mathias waited as though he was expecting something.

Seconds passed that seemed like an eternity to Mathias; finally, his Lady queen spoke.

“Raise your head and look at me, my dear Mathias.”

Mathias does as he was told; he looks at his Lady queen, at her face that gods caved.

Alluringly, his Lady queen would blink her eyes from time to time, allowing her eyelashes to flutter like a butterfly’s wings; her eyes were simply spellbinding.

“Come.” The fox lady ordered.

As if he had been possessed, Mathias moved toward the bed, and soon he was already in the bed with his Lady queen.

Clothes and nightgown were discarded and what followed were the sound of bestial roars and sensual moans.

“Fufufu, I can’t wait to have you beside me, my new toy.”

Amidst the bestial roars and moans, the fox lady muttered, thinking about the crimson-eyed young man.

°°°°°

A few days later. After enticing Kaguya to join him on a dangerous but fun game, Orpheus and Kaguya left toward the Core region. There was a barrier that seemed to protect something.

”Shall we go?” Orpheus asked Kaguya, who immediately nodded. The Duo passed through the barrier.

After passing through the barrier, a world of ice greeted Orpheus and a castle. Yes, it was a castle. Kaguya seemed to have mysteriously disappeared, but he knew she must have been sent somewhere else, and they would eventually meet later.

For now, he focused on what was in front of him. His sight landed on the castle.

A white castle, growing like a crystal, sparkling just the same as any cut diamond; strangely, this castle was floating in the air, surrounded by freezing fog. There was a single entrance. The wind was howling like an enraged beast.

Orpheus was flabbergasted entirely looking at the floating white castle. He had never expected to see something out of common here. Finally, he understood why they would deploy a barrier trying to conceal something like this. If they did not, every race out there would try to obtain the technology that makes it possible for this white castle to float in the air.

He had never heard about a flying castle in the human world, nor the Demon realm either, and it was without saying that those freaks of nature, the Elves, would never create something like this.

Suddenly, the howling wind was silenced like a scolded dog. Then not from the opening but the structure of the white castle came music in no form he had never heard; no, it was in a language, Orpheus could comprehend but had the feeling to have heard somewhere. He also noticed that the music was trying to bewitch him, making him walk unconsciously toward the white castle as if he was in a dream; nothing else mattered.

“Interesting.”

The master of this White castle must be a woman, and she must be specialized in charm. It was without saying her level was high as well. Her charm level was even higher than him. Well, he had never used his charm on someone; he would always try to conceal his charm as much as possible if not, it would become a disaster; women would swarm toward him like bees.

There were several hidden powerful origin beasts inside the white castle. This woman must be extremely powerful to be able to control those powerful origin beasts.

Orpheus felt a powerful gaze locked on him. It was the master of the White Castle; she must check why he hadn’t advanced after hearing the bewitching music earlier.

To not raise any suspicion on him, Orpheus started to advance as though he was charmed; however, he retained his clarity. His value would become high if she saw that his willpower was extremely high.

The master of the White castle retrieved her gaze after confirming that he was walking towards the castle entrance.

The corner of his mouth curled up, forming a devilish smile.

‘Let’s see what you are planning, you, fox woman.’

•••••

Stairs appeared in front of the White Castle; Orpheus stepped on them and headed toward the White castle entrance; soon, Orpheus saw the white doors open themselves as though it was inviting him, so he entered; the door automatically closed itself after he went in.

The inside of the castle was pure; there was no decoration, no painting hung on the wall, there was nothing, yet it was still beautiful.

Orpheus continued to advance, and soon another door came into view; after passing through this door, he appeared inside the throne room.

A gorgeous woman was sitting on a beautiful chair. The chair was carved of fine oak, crested with several jewels and decorative metals forming an elegant coat of arms.

The woman sitting on the beautiful chair had blonde hair and blue eyes, fox ears, and seven tails. Her body was not emitting pressure like she was just an ordinary lady.

However, Orpheus knew that she was, without doubt, the master of this White castle, the ruler of the Ice world. The strongest existence inside the Ice world.

Previously Orpheus had called her fox; never he would have thought she was indeed one.

The fox lady looked at Orpheus in the eyes; she smiled, a smile that could make any weak-willed man fall for her. She didn’t use any charm; he was sure that if she were to use her charm, even a strong man would have a hard time controlling himself. She was a fox, after all, known for its natural charm. They are natural seductresses.

Finally, the fox lady declared ”Welcome to my abode, my New toy.”

Orpheus put on a blank expression while inwardly sneering, thinking this would be fun. The fun game had begun.
