635 A Solution For The Prismerions (2)
Orion's smile immediately changed into a frown when he heard the Princess of the Garden's words.
"What do you mean by that? Is there anything wrong? If there is, tell me so I can think of a way to handle it," Orion asked anxiously.
The last time that he had witnessed the Princess of the Garden speak so seriously was when she had been looking for a way to save the Garden before she became pregnant so seeing her like this, Orion couldn't help but become anxious, thinking that she was being disturbed by something even worse.
However, after hearing Orion's anxious voice and witnessing his worried expression, a slight chuckle escaped her.
"Don't worry, nothing bad has happened; I just wanted you to wait for a little while until I give birth so that you can tell me the name that you've managed to come up with along with the other one for our child," the Princess of the Garden said with a bright smile as she stared at Orion.
Aerialia suddenly snorted loudly, interrupting them. "Summon me once more when everything has been prepared; I would like to observe how everything unfolds," Aerialia said before she instantly turned into a speck of light and disappeared into the small Crimson greatsword mark on his right hand.
Orion merely nodded and resummoned back the Crimson greatsword before shifting his attention to the Princess of the Garden.
"You should have just told me that from the beginning instead of making me unnecessarily worry," Orion said, lightly striking the Princess of the Garden's rear before hugging her tighter.
The Princess of the Garden chuckled at Orion's behaviour before pausing as he leaned towards her. She leaned in as well and instantly sealed her lips with his.
They both engaged in a short, wet kiss before unsealing each other's lips and pulling back.
"You'd better leave and start putting your plan into action. I'm curious about what you have in mind, after all," the Princess of the Garden said. She released Orion from her grip as she took a step backwards.
Orion nodded in understanding before turning around and raising his head upwards to look at the Guardians of the Garden, who were still hovering in the air with their eyes fixed on him.
Although he could see that their numbers had decreased a little, the burning hatred in their eyes as they stared at him was not something that seemed likely to die down anytime soon.
Orion understood that to gather the needed information about Aegis of the Arctic Deity and Naka, he would have to find a way to mend his relationship with them before it worsened into something unmanageable. Clearing his throat, he began, "How are you all doing? Though I'm sorry for the mess I've caused, I can assure you th…"
Orion didn't get the chance to complete his words before the Guardians of the Garden snorted in response, turning away and flying off as if unwilling to hear anything he said.
Witnessing the Guardians leave one by one, Orion shook his head in disappointment. Softening his relationship with the Guardians of the Garden proved to be as challenging as he had expected.
"There's no reason to look disappointed; they are still upset that you tried to destroy their Garden, so all you have to do is come back later when their mood has improved, talk to them, and see if they will listen after that," the Princess of the Garden said as she tapped Orion's shoulders, offering him words of encouragement.
Orion turned to look at her and nodded before bidding her goodbye and walking back to the entrance of the Garden.
Once he reached it, the large round stone automatically rolled open for him before closing shut as he stepped outside.
Orion could see Seth walking towards him from the side of the wall.
"Are you done?" Seth asked.
Considering Orion's time inside, Seth figured it was serious. He was also slightly curious about what it was since Orion had directly entered the Garden when they stepped into the Prismerian Kingdom.
"Yes. I need to gather the warriors and inform them that we will all be leaving this mountain," Orion responded.
Seth nodded at Orion's words. Nonetheless, he couldn't help but say, "Although I understand that we all need to return to the Village, now that the Prismerian Kingdom is under the protection of the Village, wouldn't it be a bad idea to leave them unsupervised?"
Orion instantly understood what Seth was talking about and shook his head in response.
"I don't think there would be any need for that since we would all be leaving this mountain together," Orion responded.
Seth wanted to respond; however, he abruptly paused.
His mouth widened as he immediately understood what Orion's words meant. "You…" Seth wanted to speak; however, his mind was racing, so he couldn't arrange his words correctly. He could understand from Orion's words now that Orion might have already figured out a way to allow the Prismerions to settle peacefully outside the mountain.
Of course, although he had doubts about Orion achieving something like that from the beginning, he had also prepared himself to not become too astonished if Orion succeeded.
However, the Key figures had given Orion two months to devise a plan to help the Prismerion race settle outside the mountain amid the Vylkr vines, which they even felt was too short. Nonetheless, from Orion's words, he could tell that Orion had already figured out something just one day after the meeting.
So, how could he not be surprised that Orion had found the solution to what had plagued them for so long?
Seth couldn't help but ask, "Have you really figured out a way for the Prismerion race to leave this mountain and settle outside within the midst of the Vylkr vines?"
Orion nodded in response, "Yes, I have," Orion confirmed.
Bang!!
Upon hearing Orion's confirmation, Seth immediately felt a hammer strike against his mind.
His heartbeat gradually sped up as he was about to ask another question. However, Orion promptly interrupted him.
"What is the plan a…?"
"Just pass my message to the warriors and tell them to prepare. As for what I have in mind, you will know what it is when we begin to leave the mountain," Orion replied.
Seth exhaled internally for nearly losing control of his composure before he nodded in understanding and walked towards a guard who seemed to be waiting for them in the distance.
One of the guards left with Seth as if directing him towards the rest of the warriors while the others approached him.
