Chapter 538 You Will Always Be My Beloved Princess
"The warriors from the village! How did they get here?" Her eyes instantly snapped back to Orion, who was staring at her with a playful gaze.
"You!" Saria wanted to speak, but the moment she remembered her previous words, her cheeks burned, and she immediately buried her head back into Orion's shoulder.
Meanwhile, the warriors, especially Fifi, couldn't help but raise a brow as they stared at the shy Saria and Orion, pondering deeply about how close they had gotten.
It seems she also needs to keep an eye on Saria just in case, as she could guess that she might also become her new sister in the future.
But just thinking about a tree nymph and a human coming together to become partners, Fifi couldn't help but frown, as she had never heard about a situation like that happening in the village before, not even in a story.
Also, even if they became partners, from what she knew, tree nymphs couldn't get pregnant, which was the truth, as she had also never seen or heard about one before. And even though Orion's incredibly fertile semen could impregnate a woman like herself, Grandma Celia, and the others, she still had her doubts that it couldn't be that fertile enough to impregnate a tree nymph.
'It seems that I will really need to talk with him about this,' Fifi thought as she focused her attention back on Saria and Orion, who were muttering something into each other's ears.
She wondered what they were talking about.
After finishing his discussion with Saria, Orion nodded with a serious expression. Since he disappeared, Saria had just told him how the Princess of the Garden seemed unwell.
Of course, she wouldn't have noticed if the Pixies hadn't told her about it and asked her if she had anything they could use to help her since this sort of thing had never happened before.
As for how Saria had managed to hear the Pixies' words, even though their voices were too small for even him as a warrior with acute ears to understand correctly, Saria had mentioned how she didn't have to strain her ears for her to understand them properly and could also communicate with them.
Regardless, after hearing about the Princess of the Garden's current condition, Orion understood that he had to get to her as quickly as he could, as this also concerned the safety of his unborn child. Allowing Saria to get down from his body, Orion quickly turned to Fifi.
"I need to check on something urgently before we continue with the next mission, so for now, you can check if Saria has properly healed and then prepare to take her out of here and back to the village as quickly as possible," Orion said to her and the rest of the warriors, who all nodded their heads firmly.
Their primary mission was to rescue Saria, so seeing that Saria was okay, they were all relieved and were already mentally preparing to send her back to the village as quickly as possible and finally calm down the other tree nymphs who were surely going to become more agitated if they didn't make it back on time.
"Alright, we will wait here. Come back as soon as you can, okay?" Fifi responded, nodding her head in understanding.
Though she didn't know where Orion was going, looking at the worried expression, she understood that it was something extremely important that he had to take care of.
The other warriors also nodded in response.
"Alright, I'll be back soon," Orion replied.
He turned to the side and told Iris and the rest of the Crystalforge warriors to remain with the warriors until he returned before he speedily headed towards the direction where Saria had pointed out that the Princess of the Garden was.
However, in order not to get lost, considering how vast the Garden was, he quickly sought some help from the Guardians of the Garden, who only decided to show him the way after he revealed that he had the cure for the Princess of the Garden that could restore her to health.
After ten minutes of chasing the two Pixies that led him forward, flying quickly through the air, Orion finally reached his destination.
In front of him was the Princess of the Garden, seated on a large rock alone, with none of the Pixies around him. She stared out dazedly into the distance. The huge rock was familiar, as he had seen it the last time he visited her.
However, Orion could tell that the atmosphere before and now was different.
He took a step forward and called out to her, "Princess…" Just as he was about to complete his sentence, the crimson greatsword mark on his right arm burned more than ever before, causing Orion to halt in his steps and immediately summon the crimson greatsword.
The four-meter-long crimson greatsword, whose restriction hadn't been lifted yet, immediately entered Orion's grip while the other end collided with the ground.
The grassy soil around it collapsed with a slight "Bang," forming a spiderweb about fifty centimetres around it.
Nonetheless, even though Orion had tightly held the blade in time to prevent it from causing any more damage with his full strength, the collision and his voice were still enough to snap the Princess of the Garden out of her daze.
She slowly turned her head toward his direction.
"Orion…"
Orion observed as the Princess of the Garden called out to him in disbelief.
He watched as her slightly weak expression brightened, and her white irises, which could convince anyone that she was blind, widened in surprise.
"...Orion.." The Princess of the Garden's lips quivered, uttering his name once more as she gradually got back up from her seat on the large rock.
Nonetheless, just as she was about to take a step forward…
She froze. Halting her steps, she stared at the figure hovering beside Orion.
Her face was filled with fright, her eyes widening even further. Her legs grew weak and faltered, causing her to collapse to her knees.
However, before she reached the ground, she felt a strong, warm pair of arms wrapping around her body, stopping her fall.
.....
Why did the Princess of the Garden collapse to her knees? Why is she afraid? What happened? AUTHOR, SHOW ME THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!
