Chapter 572 Elysia's Health
Fifi couldn't help but smile when she heard Orion call her beautiful again.
No matter how often he had already told her, she still couldn't get used to hearing it directly from his lips. She nodded in response and followed Orion through the door, closing it behind them. Once inside, they saw a beautiful woman with white hair locs lying calmly on a bed, her injured leg comfortably elevated on a platform.
Her head snapped towards their direction, and her eyes flickered to Fifi, lingering on her for a few seconds before shifting back to Orion.
Her lips immediately arched into a smile.
"You are here," Elysia said.
"Why wouldn't I be here?" Orion responded. "Especially since you are pregnant with our child."
Elysia smiled sweetly. "Don't worry about the pregnancy. I'm afraid that if you keep coming here, you won't have the chance to complete everything you want to do in the kingdom any longer."
Deciding to divert the conversation, she rubbed her stomach and said, "Well, as you can see, I and our baby are okay," Elysia continued, adding quickly, "So come on, tell me, who is she?" Although she already had an idea since Orion had informed her previously about the fact that one of his partners was present.
As she took a good look at Fifi, she couldn't help but nod her head internally; sure enough, her husband had a variety of tastes in women.
Elysia couldn't help but think about what the rest of Orion's partners look like.
Orion nodded and introduced, "This is Fifi, your elder sister. Fifi, meet Elysia, your younger sister. I hope you two can get along well before we head back to the village," Orion said.
He knew that if Elysia and Fifi could bond well in a limited time, there was likely a chance that she would perfectly fit in with the others without any problems.
Before Elysia could respond, Orion turned to Fifi and added, "How about you stay here with her until I return?" Orion suggested.
Not only would he have peace of mind knowing that Elysia and his child were safe before he headed back to the Garden, but they could also get used to each other's presence this way.
Seeing through his intentions, Fifi sighed internally before nodding in response.
She knew that the other warriors were in the Garden, helping Saria prepare so they could leave the mountain, so she wasn't worried about his safety. She immediately focused her attention on her pregnant sister.
Seeing this, Orion smiled and immediately gave each of them a kiss on the cheeks, causing them to giggle before he quickly left the Prismerian Healers' Sanctuary, his voice echoing behind him.
"I'll be back soon."
Meanwhile, the women only nodded in response, smiling, before they turned their attention to each other and began to discuss.
"Was he always like this?" Elysia asked Fifi curiously.
Fifi grinned, "You have no idea how overprotective he can be when it comes to his partners and his children," she responded, with a slight chuckle.
Elysia kept asking questions about Orion and his other partners back in the village. Meanwhile, Fifi patiently responded to all of them, even going as far as asking questions about the Prismerian Kingdom.
Elysia reciprocated, answering all of Fifi's questions patiently and no longer doubting whether or not she could fit in with Orion's family.
…....
Garden
As Orion descended into the depths of the Divine Lake, he quickened his pace upon spotting the familiar, massive hole at its bottom. Sensing the potent and familiar pulling force emanating from it, he willingly surrendered to the irresistible pull, allowing himself to be drawn into the depths of the massive hole.
…
In the midst of an inky black void, a swirling mass of water suddenly erupted, releasing Orion. Swiftly regaining control of his breath, he composed himself, lifting his gaze to meet a pair of large, golden, slitted eyes fixated on him.
"Have you completed your affairs within the mountain?" Aegis of the Arctic Deity asked, awaiting Orion's reply.
Orion nodded in response. Before his descent, he had pondered ways to seek the Aegis of the Arctic Deity's assistance in dealing with the artefacts bound to King Brylon and Queen Selene.
However, unable to devise a plan, he opted for honesty. So, despite his lingering doubts about Aegis of the Arctic Deity, Orion began explaining the dire situation of the King and Queen, hoping for a solution.
Listening to Orion's words, the Aegis of the Arctic Deity maintained a contemplative silence for a moment.
"You are aware that I am not supposed to interfere in their lives, no matter what directly," Aegis of the Arctic Deity's voice echoed throughout the inky black void.
Orion shook his head in response. "I am. However, shouldn't your purpose here be on the verge of completion, with White Flame dead?" he replied, his gaze unwavering on the Arctic Deity.
"So, I don't think whether you are allowed to participate any more should even matter," Orion added.
He knew that Aegis of the Arctic Deity's disdain and hatred for the Prismerion race might be the only hindrance to helping rid the artefact. Thus, he had already devised a plan to address this, contingent upon Aegis of the Arctic Deity's response.
"Oh, you raise a valid point; now that White Flame is dead, my purpose is indeed on the verge of completion. However, what convinces you that I would willingly assist such a treacherous race that values nothing beyond themselves?" Aegis of the Arctic Deity asked, narrowing his large, slitted golden eyes at Orion.
Orion maintained his gaze on the Aegis of the Arctic Deity.
"Don't misunderstand me. In the past, I wouldn't have sought your assistance for them, as they didn't deserve it. However, now I am convinced that you can help us solve this problem because they've earned it," Orion responded with a confident smile.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity narrowed his large, slitted golden eyes on Orion.
