Crimson Overlord-Chapter 158 Date at Night
The sky was black tranquility married to a poetry of stars. It was the softness that called body and brain to rest and let the heart go to its steady rhythm. Night came as a reward of sorts, a restfulness above to calm the soul. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
Orpheus had scheduled a date at night with Ella.
When the two meet, Orpheus was spellbound by what his former lover was wearing.
The dress covered her shoulders halfway and flowed down into a stylish v-neck. It was a tight fit which makes the dress look comfortable, yet elegant and stylish.
Her arms had been covered to about her elbows. The sleeves broaden towards the bottom and playfully accentuate her skin.
The dress�� waist was narrow, but it was a tight fit. A bow had been wrapped around her waist and positioned slightly to one side.
Below the waist the dress fits snug around her and had a pencil style. The dress reaches all the way down, almost covering her feet and was slightly longer at the sides.
She was wearing pumps, which matches the dress perfectly. To top it all off she��s wearing a gorgeous necklace and an opulent bracelet.
��You are really beautiful in your dress.�� He said and Ella didn��t hide her joy as she also complimented him.
��You too. Your are handsome in your suit.��
Orpheus was wearing a smooth shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt he��s wearing a sleek vest with 5 buttons, it has a deep v-line, which causes the vest to remain hidden when the suit��s jacket is buttoned up.
The jacket fits him like a glove, a tailored glove. It was a solid color without a pattern which radiates finesse. The 3 buttons of his single breasted jacket have been left unbuttoned, he wants to appear well dressed while still looking casual and it works.
The jacket was the same length all around, it had vents at either side, there are two pockets on one side and one pocket on the other and there��s a breast pocket which contains a pocket watch.
He��s wearing pants which copy the style of the jacket, both in color and pattern and they��re a perfect match for his shoes. He��s wearing a modest pair of cap toe oxfords.
To top it all off he was wearing a modest belt, which can be accompanied by a brooch and cuff links.
Taking her hand they sneaked out of the academy, going to the capital. Although, the academy got a lot entertainment places they could visit they still decided to go to the capital.
The duo went to a cinema, to watch a movie. This brought back some memories, while nowadays cinema was more developed than it was in the past, they visited a cinema on their second date. It was almost as if the past was getting repeated all over again.
They sat, engrossed, barely noticing the popcorn that failed to make it to their slack mouths. When the screen fell to black Ella��s body would become rigid and her hand flailed for Orpheus. Silences never lasted long at the movies, merely tools to heighten the drama, ploys for stylistic effect a��� depriving the senses of light and sound for just long enough to peak their fear. The next moment was maximum intensity: loud, bright, fast, shocking. Ella was back in her seat, eyes open wide. Orpheus��s hand had moved like clock work the whole time with most of his salty treat making it to his already growling stomach. He grinned. This wasn��t one of those artsy, enigmatic films his girl dragged him to in fancy attire. This was action, thriller, horror and he couldn��t be happier.
He felt like everything he went through was worth it. Although she might not be able to remember him right now, her love for him may not come back even after she had regained her memories but this would not stop him. If she didn��t fall in love with him, he just have to make sure that she would fall in love with again. Orpheus was sure that he could do this again, he had achieve the impossible once, nothing wouldn��t stop him from achieving it once again.
Two hours later, they left the cinema and Ella made a suggestion which left him shocked.
��I want to visit a tavern. Let��s go.�� She had said and after his initial surprise Orpheus nodded before walking toward a tavern not far from the cinema.
Shortly the two arrived before the tavern. From the outside it looks dire, horrible and broken.
Large and small stones and well-crafted wooden beams make up most of the building��s outer structure.
From the outside it looks cozy, homey and pleasant. Plastered walls and carved pillars make up most of the building��s outer structure.
It was hard to see through the closed windows, but the music and songs from within could be felt outside.
It was as lovely inside as it was on the outside. Tree logs support the upper floor and the chandeliers attached to them. The walls were loaded with hundreds of memorabilia, all signed and most likely donated by customers.
The tavern itself was packed. Travelers seem to be the primary clientele here, which often indicates great food. Several long tables are occupied by seperate groups who, after having had quite a few drinks, seem to be trying to prove which group is best. The other, smaller tables were also occupied by people who are probably starting to reach the point of having drunk too much, though nobody seems to mind. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company
��Let��s enter it.�� Orpheus said before taking her hand as they walked in.
As they entered the tavern through the old, metal door, you��re welcomed by clapping hands and amazing, but unknown scents.
The bartender was buried in orders, but still managed to welcome them with a short wave.
All eyes were on them, they might have disguised themselves but they could not completely hide their beauty and people would always look when they saw things like this.
Ignoring those stares the two sat around the bar counter and ordered their drinks.
The bartender although surprised by this unusual couple still acted, carrying the order he received.
