"H--How can such a thing be possible?" The Princess of the Garden asked with a slight tremble in her voice.
"I don't know," Orion responded, "All I know is that any single woman that I penetrate and release my semen into becomes pregnant, one way or the other."
The Princess of the Garden stared at Orion with wide eyes, waves of emotions passing through her several times.
Suddenly, as though her mind had finally settled down, a glint passed through her eyes as she refocused her gaze back at Orion.
"Let's do it again," she suddenly said.
Orion, who was prepared to answer any of her questions as best he could, instantly became stunned. He had expected her to say something, but he hadn't expected her to say that!
"Are you sure?" Orion asked with a frown on his lips, just to confirm if he had heard her correctly.
The Princess of the Garden nodded her head resolutely, without hesitation. She immediately spread her legs wide open and proceeded to grab the long transparent dress, raising it upwards to reveal a pink valley that Orion had once explored with nothing but his sword.
Realizing that he was asking the wrong question, Orion instantly asked, "Why?"
"You penetrated me once, and I became pregnant. So, if you penetrate me again, then I could become pregnant again, which means I could carry twins, right?" The Princess of the Garden pondered the current situation.
Although she didn't understand how such a thing was possible, she trusted Orion wouldn't lie to her, considering the relationship they already had. If she was indeed pregnant, it might mean that her problems and previous worries had been solved.
Listening to her words, Orion began massaging his temples tiredly, baffled by how the conversation had taken this turn.
"That's not how it works," Orion said, shaking his head with a sigh.
The Princess of the Garden raised a brow, "Have you tried it before, and it didn't work?" She asked.
"No, I haven't," Orion responded.
Now that he thought about it, he hadn't had sex with any of his wives since they got pregnant. Well, not that he couldn't, but he simply hadn't had the time to do so. There was no time to test out such a theory.
'Ack! What are you thinking?' Orion berated himself mentally. Of course, he didn't need a reason to refuse her since he also needed to release some pent-up stress. However, Orion didn't immediately dive into the feast in front of him.
He still wanted to understand why she seemed so frightened about being pregnant. He wondered why she immediately requested that he penetrate her again.
"Then why don't we try and see if it's possible?" The Princess of the Garden responded.
"Fine, we will try it out. But may I ask why you suddenly want a set of twins? I thought you weren't even going to believe my words a moment ago," Orion said with a serious expression, his gaze locked onto the Princess of the Garden.
The Princess of the Garden immediately bit her lips nervously upon hearing Orion's question. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she shook her head and said, "I can't tell you everything in detail for your sake and everyone else's. But if you do this, you won't have to worry about asking Saria if she wants to stay or not, as I'll have another way of taking care of it."
Orion frowned, wondering about the other methods she was referring to.
Shaking his head in refusal, he said, "Since you don't want to tell me the actual reasons, then..."
"Please..." The Princess of the Garden immediately pleaded, her words carrying a tone that Orion had almost never heard from her before, making his hair stand on end.
Her hands began to tremble as she fixed her eyes on Orion as though she was scared of his next words.
After a few minutes of silence stretched between them.
"Don't worry about it..." The Princess of the Garden was about to speak, but Orion's hands immediately cupped her chin, stopping her from uttering a word.
"Though I want to try it out and see if it's possible, I don't think I would be able to do it if they're after my neck," Orion said with a wry smile as he looked at the pixies who were still trying to break through the lightning cage from the outside. They had even brought a tree branch and were using it as a makeshift battering ram.
The Princess of the Garden's eyes immediately regained their light as soon as she heard Orion's words. She turned her head to the side and frowned at the sight of her Guardians getting shocked or torched as they tried to break the net of lightning.
With a smile on her lips, she stretched her hand out, and out of nowhere, a small silver bell with crimson trims around it appeared between her thumbs.
She moved her hand from side to side, and the bell rang, producing the same distinct, strange sound that Orion had heard previously. Soon after, the Pixies began to calm down slowly, and they all looked at Orion, snorting at him before they proceeded to fly away.
"It seems that you've gained some potential enemies, so you have to be careful in the future," the Princess of the Garden said with a sweet smile on her lips.
Orion nodded in understanding as he deactivated his gift and brought his hand downwards.
"Don't worry, I will," Orion said as he gently tilted her head upwards with his other hand, sealing her lips with a kiss.
At this point, no words needed to be said as both of them understood each other's intentions. Their lips melded together.
Slowly, Orion placed both of his hands on her cheeks, holding her in place as he explored her tongue and the insides of her mouth.
Even her saliva, as it rolled from her lips inside his, tasted like a particular kind of tropical fruit that he couldn't even be bothered to remember at this moment.
Separating from the kiss, Orion gently gestured for her to stand up on her feet before he led her to one of the trees nearby. Positioning her face first towards it, Orion watched as the Princess of the Garden turned her head to glance back at him.
