Orpheus Mansion

"I welcome you to my secondary Home!" Nicholas said as his expression was filled with joy.

Ruthven didn't know what to say to the enthusiastic invite Nicholas except for..."Lead the way." while pointing his hand towards the mansion before them.

To Ruthven's response, Nicholas began to lead the way while showing Ruthven the beautiful lawn filled with flowers in front of the Mansion.

"Mister Ruthven, what do you think?" with expectations in his eyes, Nicholas looked at Ruthven.

"Hehe... it's beautiful."

Soon the tour Ruthven and Nicholas were having was about to come to an end, and as they were closing in on the Mansion entrance, Nicholas's warm expression started to fade.

People had been waiting for Nicholas in Infront of the Mansion door, it was mostly maids and one butler, but they were enough to turn Nicholas's mood upside down.

Ruthven seeing this had started to lose interest in the now gloomy Nicholas.

The smile Nicholas would have on his face would make people think that there are no worries in the world, this was something Ruthven hadn't seen in a long time, but that all changed the moment he saw the house servants.

With a bow from Nicholas, an apology soon followed. " Sir Ruthven, Am afraid that I have to end our tour here."

"Sir!? why the sudden change, am I no longer Mr. Ruthven?" was Ruthven's inward thinking before replying..."Of course, but I hope we could continue this sooner if not later."

Though not noticeable, a faint smile was seen on Nicholas's face as he responded. "But of course."

The two soon started heading towards the entrance, and the moment they reached it, everyone bowed at the sight of Nicholas... " Evening Young master!" they said.

"Evening to you too, Also I would like to introduce you all to an important quest of mine." The expressions of the house servants were a bit weird as if this was a first.

"This here is Sir Ruthven, I hope you'll treat him well." was Nicholas's introduction.

"Greetings Master Ruthven" The butler greeted Ruthven as he moved forward.

"Yes greetings to you too." an awkward but cold response came from Ruthven.

After Greeting each other, the butler said as he pointed inside the mansion..." Right this way Young Master." just like that, Nicholas followed the butler without saying anything.

Ruthven was also to be guided by a maid to a room where he would be staying, but before he could even enter the door, a servant that had been bowing caught his attention.

"Hey, You!" He said as he called out to the servant with his finger.

"Y-Yes?" A nervous response was given by the maid. The thing that had attracted Ruthven to the maid was a ring similar to the one Nicholas was wearing.

Smiling at this, Ruthven moved his face closer as he asked "What's your name?"

The Servant rose her head to look at Ruthven who was asking her this question, and her body immediately froze as she saw Ruthven's eyes.

"Hmm didn't you hear my question?"

The maid's actions became stiff as she answered " Ahhh... M-my name is Katherine."

"Katherine...huh? I'll remember that." Ruthven said as He Continued To the House, and as Ruthven disappeared from their sight, Katherine stood there with a look of admiration and fear as she thought" Who in the hell is that?"

----

Ruthven who was now being led to his room with his hands in his pockets continuously stole gazes at the beautiful made who was leading him.

He had mainly focused on her slender waist, and the big assets she had on her chest. Even her face was extremely charming and added to the effects a maid uniform brought, the maid was breathtaking.

"Hey what's your name?" A question came from Ruthven that took the maid by surprise, but not surprising enough that she couldn't respond... " El-Elizabeth," she said.

"A beautiful name you've got there," Ruthven commented while getting closer to the maid.

"Th-Thank you, Sir." The maid said as She held fear in her eyes, this weird reaction made Ruthven a little angry but he quickly suppressed his feelings as the conversation between two ended as such, and soon, Ruthven had been led to his room and left alone.

Ruthven in the room he had been assigned to, Stood in Infront of the window as He looked out into the city that had been created by humans.

He stood there with a disappointed look on his face as his true thoughts were of not getting laid tonight. "*Sigh* I've preserved for over a thousand years, waiting for a little more won't hurt, right?" Ruthven thought so as he was pumping himself up.

The soul of Lust had been greatly influencing his current mindset, but there was nothing Ruthven could do to suppress his urges.

After a while of looking out into the window, Ruthven fell asleep and soon night had Come and knocks could be heard on his door. "Ahh, what time is it?"

Ruthven tried his best to drag himself up from bed to see who was at the door, and to his surprise, Elizabeth was waiting for him." I've come to tell you that dinner is ready." she said.

"Haha Is that so? Well, why don't you lead the way." Ruthven responded.

----

After a while of walking around the mansion, Ruthven entered the dining room only to find out that a tense atmosphere had already swallowed the entire room.

There at the moment Ruthven entered, someone who had looked like the family head stood up" Evening Sir." the man said as he gave his hand out.

"Evening to you as well," Ruthven said as he accepted the man's hand with a fox smile on his face. 'My pawn has arrived' was Ruthven's true thoughts and his reason for smiling.

"if you don't mind would you please take a sit," The man said as he pointed towards an empty chair on the table.

"Ohh yes." Ruthven quickly said as he took off his jacket, and at the moment when he had sat down, The suit he had been wearing changed color.

Ruthven was now wearing a black suit that fit the occasion of a formal dinner perfectly. Everyone in The room went completely silent at the scene they had just experienced, but the most surprised one was Ruthven as he didn't know that his suit could change color.."Huh is this a new function?"

A little later after Ruthven had been amazed by the function of his suit, he realized that everyone had been focusing their gazes on him... "Hehe, Should we begin?" was his attempt at fixing the mood.

"Ahh Yes, But first I would like to introduce myself first." The head said as he soon stood up and gave a courtesy bow "Bergroar Trill Orpheus, The head of the Orpheus Family." was his introduction.

Bergroar after his introduction, looked at Ruthven as if he was excepting him to introduce himself as well. "'Guess I should introduce Myself as well?" Ruthven said with a carefree smile on his face.

"Ruthven Highlord, THE BLUE EYED DEMON." was Ruthven introducing himself with one of his eyes already blue.
