Back to Orpheus’s location, two days passed, and the duo decided to go back. Brünhild stayed back as she had sothing to do before joining Orpheus later.
”Let’s go on a date,” Orpheus suggested as he rembered accepting to buy her a al.
Kaguya happily nodded at Orpheus’s proposal.

anwhile, Leon also hurried back to the academy, and after giving his bracelet to one of the teachers, he left for the palace. He had to see his mother. Daneel followed him.
Leon and Daneel arrived in front of the Emperess’s bedroom. After chasing the two guards there, Leon tasked Daneel to guard the room while intercepting anybody who would co.
Leon entered the bedroom and imdiately bowed.
”Greetings, mother. How have you been?” Leon asked.
”Well, now that you have co to visit . Co closer, Leon, let mother look at you. ” Empress Lillia said, beckoning Leon to sit next to her.
Leon advanced and sat next to his mother, Empress Lillia.
”How’s it going at the academy? Did you finally win one of the twin goddesses’ hearts?”
There was a silence before Leon finally answered.
”No progress, mother. It’s because of an asshole. He ruined all my plans.”
”That Kyle whatever. Don’t worry, mother will take care of him as I promised when you made that call.” The empress said to her son. Leon nodded; he was now sure that his mother would soon get rid of Orpheus.
”The assassins you hired are from which organization?” The empress asked as she rembered her son telling her that, the assassins failed to complete their goal.
”Bloody Hall, Zeroth Organization said they are busy due to the mysterious being’s appearance. I would have to wait until they finish their investigation, but I decided to hire the assassins from the Bloody Hall instead of waiting.”
”As I thought, don’t worry, mother will help you by visiting the Zeroth Organization and asking them to kill that Kyle. You know how efficient they are, and besides, I’m an old client. They will help for sure, and that bug will be eliminated. Fufufu! Everything that hinders my son’s happiness will be erased, even your father. ” Empress Lillia said viciously.
”Thank you, mother. I love you.” Leon said before falling asleep on his mother’s lap; he was smiling.
”I love you too, my son.” Empress Lillia replied while stroking her son’s hair.
Suddenly, Empress Lillia smiled, an extrely evil smile as she declared.
”Leonardo, since that day, you never touched because you don’t want to have another child with . However, Leon alone is enough for . I heard that slut is pregnant again. If she gives birth to a boy, I’ll help him reunite with his big brother. However, if it’s a girl, she will beco Leon’s sex slave, his toy. Fufufu! only my son can be the emperor; nobody else has the right to sit on that throne apart from my Leon.”
Empress Lillia’s eyes were filled with nothing but madness when she was talking about that pregnant woman; she was emitting powerful killing intent. She would make him regret abandoning her by using the handso young man she encountered that night. Thinking of him, she gently stroked the earrings he gifted her. She would contact him; she had been hesitating but no more. Everything is for the sake of her son.
°°°°°
Two hours later. The date had begun.
Currently, Orpheus and Kaguya were not dressed as they normally dressed. Most people would think that they were two noble children on a date. Only a few people looked at them twice, but none realized the truth. They were disguised. It would have been hard not to draw a commotion; therefore, they decided to disguise and enjoy a simple date.
”I hope I’ll have fun,” Kaguya said, and Orpheus said nothing.
The duo visited many places, starting with a small restaurant to eat breakfast and then going to a clothing store and finally the market.
He bought her a necklace and put it on her neck. Kaguya, despite being foreign to the emotion she felt at that ti, still smiled and accepted the gift, and her eyes were filled with gentleness after that.
Orpheus and Kaguya entered a café to take a rest.
“… Fuu, I’m tired.” She smiled happily. Although she was not tired, she acted as if she was.
Orpheus knew he was joking but still played along.
”You have been on many dates for you to be this skillful, right?” Kaguya asked. For so reason, she felt jealous not to have been his first.
Alex rely laughed, not saying anything; seeing him smirking made Kaguya annoyed. She snorted and ignored him until they exited the cafe.
”Let’s go into that tower.” Orpheus pointed at the tower in the distance; it was a dium tower, the Sky Tower. Kaguya nodded; she had been curious the first she had seen it; although not comparable to the other gigantic tower which pierced the sky at the center of the capital, the tower he pointed at was tall as well. Kaguya didn’t get the opportunity to visit nor tour the capital because since the mont she ca, she had been busy at the academy; however, now that she got the ti to relax, she must enjoy herself and do things previously she hadn’t done.
Kaguya nodded before crossing her arm with Orpheus as they went to that tower. They went into the tower; there was a restaurant, a shopping mall, and even an arcade room. Naturally, Orpheus and Kaguya visited every one of them. Orpheus was surprised to find out that the Sky Tower had an elevator, sothing which had existed during his ti.
Finally, Orpheus and Kaguya stood at the highest point; from here, they could see the whole capital, and truth be told, it was truly vast. Standing at 1968 ft (600 ters) from the ground made the two feel like they were overlords overlooking their subjects underneath them; this feeling could be intoxicating.
”Humans are truly wonderful creatures; they live, procreate and create wonderful things.” Orpheus suddenly said while looking down at the capital.
”I agree, but to , the ones who are more incredible are our creators. They are incredible to have created this world and us. The seven gods are exceptional beings after all.” Kaguya said after a mont of silence.
Orpheus almost burst into laughter but managed to stop; he knew what the so-called gods are; they are hypocrites, well, not all of them. Nui and Ea were exceptions.
Suddenly, Orpheus stopped watching the scenery outside and stared at Kaguya in silence; the latter began feeling uncomfortable, so she glared at him and asked.
”What?”
”No, nothing. Let’s continue with our date.” He said with a smile, which gave Kaguya a chill, yet she chose not to dwell on why she felt that chill.
”So, where are you going next? What are we going to do?”
Orpheus smiled and responded.
”Oh! That? We are not going anywhere. We are right where we should be; the next exciting adventure was about to begin.”
”What?” Orpheus exclaid; she imdiately had a bad feeling; she tried to ask him what the hell he had planned; however, before she could, it happened.
Sothing moved like a snake and latched onto her right foot; before she could check that thing, the floor under her feet disappeared; yeah, it disappeared, and Kaguya began to free fall for 600 ters. No matter who you might be, you face such an unexpected situation, especially when you don’t know this is happening.
”Iahhhhhhhhhhh!”
Kaguya scread like a helpless maiden while Orpheus feeling the caress of the wind against his cheek was laughing.
”H-how is it? Cool, isn’t it?” Orpheus asked while readjusting the goggle which magically appeared on his face.
Kaguya ignored him; first, it took her a bit of ti before she managed to squeeze out a few words.
”Kyle, you’re dead!”
Orpheus put on a shocked expression, and Kaguya glared at him as she knew he was faking it. She wished to swallow him but knew she couldn’t. She was afraid of the height after that accident when she saw her best friend fall from a cliff and die, she was trying to overco this fear, but she still hadn’t completely succeeded. Never would she have expected that this tower would have sothing like this.
Orpheus didn’t know beforehand that it was possible to do this, a bungee jump. One of the staff mbers had suggested this to him as they ca in a couple. The girl said it was possible to bungee jump from the highest floor, and Orpheus secretly subscribed for them, however.
”Close your eyes and enjoy the sensation of the air caressing your skin; you don’t need to worry because you’re safe. You are strong, and above everything else, I’ve got your back.” Orpheus whispered into her ears, and strangely his words worked like a charm, and soon Kaguya overca her fear and started to enjoy free falling from the sky.
Being together with this man was fun and would always be fun; more than ever, she was determined to have a relationship with this man.
