Crimson Overlord-Chapter 393: Fun together

The sun rose over Velmira, bathing the city’s golden domes and marble streets in soft morning light. The scent of fresh bread and blooming flowers filled the air as market vendors set up their stalls, and the distant sound of lute music and chattering travelers created a lively morning atmosphere.

In their lavish hotel suite, Ella and Lily stretched lazily in bed before finally forcing themselves up. Today, they planned to explore a different district of the city, searching for new experiences, hidden gems, and, of course, some excitement.

After a refreshing bath and a light breakfast of honey-drizzled pastries, exotic fruit, and spiced tea, they stepped out into the bustling streets, ready for whatever the day had in store.

Their first stop was the Sky Lanes, a unique part of the city where floating platforms and enchanted sky rails transported people between districts. Instead of using traditional carriages, visitors could ride hovering gondolas, magical beasts, or even flying carpets to travel across the city.

Lily’s eyes sparkled with excitement as they arrived. "We have to ride something crazy!"

Ella chuckled. "I knew you’d say that."

After scanning the options, they settled on wind gliders— sleek, winged boards infused with levitation magic that allowed them to soar through the sky like birds.

An instructor gave them a quick rundown.

"The controls are simple—lean forward to accelerate, backward to slow down, and tilt to turn. Try not to crash into any towers."

Lily grinned. "No promises!"

With that, they launched into the air, wind rushing past their faces as they soared over Velmira’s rooftops.

The view was breathtaking—ornate balconies, hidden courtyards, and dazzling gardens stretched beneath them. They passed over grand plazas, sparkling canals, and open-air theaters where performers entertained early crowds.

Lily whooped, performing a quick spin midair.

"This is amazing!"

Ella, flying with more precision but still smiling, called out, "Just don’t get too reckless!"

For the next half-hour, they raced through the sky lanes, weaving between floating platforms, dodging other riders, and laughing as they playfully tried to outmaneuver each other.

By the time they landed, their hearts were racing with exhilaration.

Lily panted. "That was the best way to wake up."

Ella smirked. "Agreed. Now, what’s next?"

After their thrill ride, the twins wandered into Velmira’s famed Art District, where painters, sculptors, and performers showcased their talents.

The streets were lined with mosaic-tiled pathways, and every building was covered in beautiful murals depicting legendary heroes, celestial beings, and romantic tales.

Lily stopped at a vendor selling enchanted paintings that changed with the viewer’s emotions. She watched in fascination as a canvas shifted from a serene sunset to a dramatic storm.

"This is so cool," she murmured.

Ella, meanwhile, admired a sculptor crafting delicate crystal figurines that shimmered with inner light.

Everything was going well—until the first suitor of the day appeared.

A handsome young noble, dressed in embroidered silk, approached with a confident smile.

"My ladies, your beauty rivals the masterpieces of this district," he said smoothly, bowing deeply. "Might I interest you in a private tour of my personal collection?"

Ella and Lily exchanged knowing glances.

Lily sighed. "No, thanks."

The noble chuckled. "Ah, but surely—"

"Not interested," Ella cut in, already turning away.

The man, clearly unused to rejection, sputtered. "W-Wait, at least allow me to—"

Lily grabbed Ella’s hand. "Time to go."

With that, they disappeared into the crowd, leaving the rejected noble standing there in stunned silence.

Next, they found themselves at Velmira’s Grand Coliseum, where warriors and mages competed in friendly duels for sport.

Spectators cheered and placed bets as skilled fighters clashed in dazzling displays of magic and swordplay.

Lily’s eyes gleamed. "Let’s enter a match."

Ella raised an eyebrow. "You just want an excuse to fight someone."

"Obviously," Lily grinned.

They signed up for a tag-team duel, and soon, they stood in the arena facing two cocky-looking mercenaries.

One of them smirked. "You sure you ladies can handle this?"

Lily cracked her knuckles. "You’ll find out soon enough."

The match began, and the twins moved with perfect coordination.

Ella dodged gracefully, countering with precise strikes while Lily fought aggressively, overwhelming opponents with speed and raw power.

Within minutes, the mercenaries were on the defensive, and after a perfectly timed combo attack, the twins claimed victory.

The crowd roared with applause.

Ella dusted off her hands. "That was fun."

Lily grinned. "Told you."

Unfortunately, their victory made them even more popular.

As they left the coliseum, more men approached—some impressed by their skills, others simply unable to resist their beauty.

A charming rogue with a silver dagger winked at them. "Ladies, I must admit, watching you fight was thrilling. How about a drink to celebrate?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Pass."

Another noble blocked their path, placing a hand over his heart dramatically. "My soul aches for a moment of your time—"

Ella sidestepped him effortlessly. "Keep aching." ƒreewebɳovel.com

And then there was the persistent poet, who actually began reciting verses about their "radiance."

Lily groaned. "I can’t take this anymore."

So, they did the only logical thing.

They ran.

With expert agility, they ducked into a side alley, climbed a low rooftop, and vanished into the maze-like streets, leaving behind another group of bewildered admirers.

Panting slightly, Ella sighed. "This city is relentless."

Lily laughed. "Well, we are gorgeous."

Ella smirked. "Let’s find something safer. Like a dungeon full of monsters."

Wanting some peace, the twins left the crowded districts and headed toward the coastal outskirts of the city, where they rented two sleek, enchanted horses for a sunset ride along the shore.

The ocean breeze was cool against their skin as they galloped across the golden sands, the setting sun casting shimmering reflections on the water.

Lily spread her arms, breathing in the salty air. "This is perfect."

Ella, riding beside her, smiled. "Finally, a moment of quiet."

As night fell, the city lights flickered in the distance, and the twins knew—tomorrow, their adventure would continue.

It was fun to play together like this after a long time and they couldn’t get enough of it.
