Village Head's Debauchery

Seraphina let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Orion's words. With the recent events, she feared something terrible had happened for Orion to create another Vylkr container so quickly.

"If that's the case, then you should either return to the Garden or call for Anara to come back to the farm. Those are currently the two best locations for you to break through. As for how many containers you're willing to create, that's a decision I'll leave up to you. I don't want to burden you with something that might lead you to do something reckless. I'm sure the others will agree with me," Seraphina responded, her tone serious and her expression curious.

If Orion were to create two or three containers and reach a critical condition like he did last time, there's no telling what might happen this time around. His body might not withstand the combined might of multiple Vylkr containers simultaneously.

So, she would rather leave this decision to him, not wanting to add more burden to his already heavy shoulders.

"You already know how many Vylkr containers I plan to create. We need all the strength we can get right now, and as the only Vylkr warrior with the highest star potential, I shouldn't let it go to waste. I should maximize it as much as possible. Do me a favour, and don't inform the others until I'm done. I don't want to raise their anxiety again, for their health and the sake of the children," Orion responded, fixing his gaze on her.

Seraphina exhaled and nodded in understanding. "Be careful, okay," she replied, her voice filled with concern and worry.

"Don't worry, I will," Orion responded, leaning in to kiss her before pulling back and shifting his attention to Maeve and the others hovering beside him.

"Seraphina will take you to meet the others. I have somewhere else I need to go," Orion said, his eyes fixed on the four pixies.

They all nodded firmly in response.

"You don't have to worry, Mr. Orion. I'll ensure that nothing goes wrong until your return," Maeve responded solemnly, glancing at the rest of the Pixies beside her.

Although Orion couldn't hear her words like the others in form, despite his sharp senses, he nodded in response. "I'll take my leave then," he said, exiting Seraphina's workshop and disappearing down the hallway in seconds.

After a moment, Seraphina shifted her attention to the pixies before her. Despite their small stature, this race had been superior to hers, the Prismerion, for thousands of years. Even with the current change in the status quo, she was cautious about how to address them.

'You are Seraphina Crystalforge, one of the highest-ranking members and brightest minds in the Orion's Cities. Wife of Orion, the architect of Orion City, and the future head key leader. So why should you be afraid?' Seraphina thought, regaining her composure as she fixed her eyes on the Pixies women before her.

"Before I introduce you to the others, I want to lay down two rules for you to follow. Firstly, it would be best if you listen to everything I say, including orders. In this house, there are good, bad, and ugly; firstly, if you don't communicate well, you might end up supporting the wrong individuals or becoming the primary catalyst for trouble. So, pay close attention to my instructions, and you'll learn who to approach cautiously, peacefully, or avoid altogether."

"Secondly, although I doubt the nature of your relationship with Orion since he suddenly brings you directly to me in this home, keep your distance and clarify that you'll only stay here as a guest for a limited time until you are healed. Rule one is for your safety, and rule two is for theirs' and to prevent any unnecessary stress or worry for Orion," Seraphina responded, pausing before asking, "Do I make myself clear?" Her heart raced with anticipation, as she had never addressed a Pixie like this before.

Contrary to her expectations, they all nodded in understanding.

"We understand your words and will do as you've mentioned," Maeve responded.

She took Seraphina's words seriously, especially as she was still considering becoming Orion's partner. Nonetheless, witnessing Orion's entire family dynamic for herself seemed like the best way to make a proper decision.

"Don't worry, I have no objections. As long as I get healed from this condition, I'll follow whatever you say," Whisperwing said.

Despite feeling a twinge of envy after witnessing Orion's proposal to Maeve and her subsequent response, which didn't quite make sense to her, given what she knew about Orion's character, she pushed those thoughts aside.

Instead, she decided to learn more about Orion's household and how she might fit in, regardless of Seraphina's warnings. Maeve may have won the battle with her position, beauty, and temperament, but she was determined to win the war.

Also, she felt that Seraphina was exaggerating things;surely, the women in this household couldn't be that bad.

Willow and Breezeflutter noddedseriouslyas they absorbed Seraphina's words. They made sure to etch every tiny detail into their minds, not wanting to forget anything.

"Although I couldn't understand whatany ofyou just said, I'll take that as a sign of agreement from your expressions. Come on, let's go so I can introduce you to the others in the household," Seraphina responded, walking out and locking her workshop before leading the Pixies down the hallway.

…..........….

Third BorderCity

Garden

Orion chose not to pass through the main gates to announce his arrival. Instead, he leapt over the towering walls, landing within the Garden.

A swarm of Pixie guards swiftly surrounded him, but they dispersed just as quickly upon recognizing him.

Minutes later, as he strode in Aurora's direction, he spotted her approaching, obviously informed of his return.

"You're back already? I assumed Seraphina and Greta would handle the issue easily," Aurora remarked.

Contrary to her expectations, Orion shook his head in disagreement. "It's not that. I returned for something else," he responded.
