Chapter 215: Threesomes**
Albedo stood just behind the door, a calm but piercing gaze fixed on us. Her golden eyes, usually filled with love and devotion for me, held a faint glimmer of curiosity as she stepped forward. She had clearly been watching us for some time, though I wasn't entirely sure how long.
Grayfia, however, didn't handle the surprise as gracefully. Her normally composed demeanor faltered, and her face flushed a deep crimson as she looked between Albedo and me. She seemed caught in a whirlwind of emotions, unsure of how to react.
