Something was not right. Sakuya thought. Because she had entered dungeons many times, she knew. This place was not a dungeon.
The sound of her feet stepping lightly on the stone floor echoed loudly in a quiet space filled with only the sound of the wind whispering in her ears.
She kept walking forward.
After walking for such a long time, she finally arrived at the place she heard about.
"The altar."
It was a huge temple painted in many shades of color. In this place, where there was no trace of civilization, let alone living things, the existence of such a structure stood out a lot. It was an old temple that seemed unmaintained, yet there was a fire burning in the braziers.
Sakuya followed the stair and walked down the hallway. After she entered the innermost altar, she looked around.
Sakuya decided to continue her investigation, hopefully, it would be fun and this way she would forget thinking about that man.
°°°°
In another continent, the Lionheart empire to be more precise, somewhere in the empire.
Compared to the daytime, this city's night lasts longer.
When the horizon lit up, the sun started working again. Excluding the employees that have business early in the morning, the rest of the citizens are still deep asleep. About 70% of the population is still gripped by the sandman's enthrall.
As time slowly flowed forward, the streets became livelier, cars can be seen moving about. It didn't matter if it was students, researchers, or Demi-humans, everybody started their daily routines. They have one objective in mind: Don't be late.
Meanwhile, in Leon's house.
From the outside, this house looks intimate and cozy. It has been built with grey stones and has poplar wooden decorations. Small, octagon windows brighten up the house and have been added to the house in a very asymmetric way.
The house is equipped with a small kitchen and two bathrooms, it also has a generous living room, five bedrooms, a modest dining area, a study, and a large storage room.
The building is rectangular shaped. The house is partially surrounded by stylish gardens on two sides.
The second floor is smaller than the first, which allowed for several balconies on the sides of the house. This floor has a different style than the floor below.
The roof is low and square-shaped and is covered with red roof tiles. There are no chimneys. A few large windows let in just enough light to the rooms below the roof.
The house itself is surrounded by paved ground, with a small pond at one side and various potted plants all around the house.
Leon's kept the window of his room open so sunlight can easily enter. The living room is also slightly lit with rays of sunlight. Even if it's still a bit dark, one could still make out the faint sounds of breathing coming from two individuals.
With little clothes covering their uglies as their clothes were littered all over the floor, the living room looked a bit messy. On the sofa, the two sleeping figures only had a blanket to protect themselves against the cold of the night. Other than that, one could only see their arms and heads popping out from the blanket
"Nn~~"
A tender sound came from one of the sleeping individuals. She slowly opened her eyes while furrowing her brows, she revealed a pair of beautiful red eyes to the world.
She had difficulty adjusting to the piercing light. Her eyes were still moist with tears, and an enchanting blush of youthful vigor could be seen on her cheeks. It looks like she just woke up from a pleasant dream. Of course, the reality couldn't be further from the truth.
When she regained consciousness, she looked around with the ribbon that helped her tie her hair while fluttering along with her movements. She felt sore and wet.
The weird sensation made her mistakenly jump to the hypothesis that she slept in the bathtub last night. When she heard a breathing sound near her, she finally remembered what had happened last night.
"!!!"
She started blushing like mad, her face was now redder than her tomato. Feeling his arms wrapped around her and his body heat, she yelped in shock. When she realized Leon wasn't awake yet, she kept her mouth shut and tried to make as little noise as possible.
Like a panicky mouse, she frantically got up from the sofa. She wanted to jump away from the couch but she was in her birthday suit so it wouldn't do her any good to take such a big movement, what with her secret garden being exposed to broad daylight and all. Instead, she tightened her hold on the blanket. When Leon's snoring entered her ears, she released a sigh of relief but she was still as red as a tomato.
When she recalled the crazy night they had, couldn't bring herself to look at anyone right now. The night have been reckless and they didn't have any inhibition and did whatever they wanted like primal beasts.
Upon recalling how wild the two of them had been. Ariel felt all sorts of embarrassment, with a bit of regret thrown in.
It's all Leon's fault!
She leered at her fiancee, however, she was only greeted by his peaceful sleeping countenance, still mad, she couldn't bring herself to get angry with him. It was true that his sleeping face was so cute that Ariel wished to eat him whole again.
She's embarrassed by what they did last night but the villain continued sleeping like nobody's business, she was at a loss for words.
''Sister-in-law! Big brother! Good morning!"
Leon's little sister's cheerful voice came from beyond the door. The troublemaker has arrived.
"It's time to go to school, Big brother you sleepy head!"
ƥαṇdαηθνε| Immediately, Ariel was in full-on panic mode now. She picked up her clothes at record speed and zoomed off to her room, another voice came much to her distraught.
Why so early in the morning, they should still sleeping the poor fiancee thought with a reddened face, her dignity would vanish if they were to see her current state.
