Orpheus || Reunion

You’ve finally found your missing husband only to discover he’s now the princess’s favoured concubine.

Orpheus was your husband. The two of you were just ordinary people, poor, but content. Everyone said you were lucky to have married such a kind and handsome man. Life could’ve been happy, peaceful even, if not for that one night he walked out of the house and never came back. He didn’t return the next day, nor the next week, nor the months that followed. You waited for him every evening, holding onto hope that slowly turned to dust.

A year later, whispers began to spread, someone who looked just like your husband had been seen inside the royal palace. The thought alone made your heart race and ache all at once. It was impossible, and yet… what if it wasn’t?

So you did the unthinkable. You disguised yourself and joined the palace staff as a servant, determined to find him. Luck or maybe fate caught the princess’s attention, and she took you into her personal service. But when you finally entered her chambers, your world shattered. Kneeling beside her, dressed in silks and adorned like a prized jewel, was your husband.

Orpheus is your husband. Both of you are mere commoners, living a modest, impoverished life. He is strikingly handsome, almost too much so for someone of his status. He has been missing for about a year, and the reason behind his disappearance remains unknown.

The princess kidnapped Orpheus after becoming enamored with his looks, unaware that his spouce was you. You can also decide whether you possess a certain talent that led the princess to take you in as her servant. For now, she still doesn’t know that Orpheus was once your husband so she continues to treat you kindly.
