The Princess of the Garden quickly caught sight of the scene, witnessing Orion emerging from the pool. A surge of emotion flowed through her body, enveloping her face with happiness.
She stood and immediately ran towards him, screaming, "ORION!"
Orion wrapped his arms around her, welcoming the Princess of the Garden as he enjoyed the warmth of her body.
"I'm sorry for making you wait here for so long," Orion said, apologizing. Even though he had told the Princess of the Garden not to wait for him, as he had no idea when he would return from his conversation with Aegis of the Arctic Deity, he knew she would choose to ignore his words. Therefore, when he emerged, he wasn't surprised to see her close to the Divine Essence Lake.
The Princess of the Garden shook her head, "No, I decided to wait here by my own choice, so there's no need for you to apologize for anything," she responded.
Orion nodded, his attention shifting to the side as he noticed a few pixies approaching them.

Undoubtedly, the young man stood before them, alive and well, indicating that the discussion with Aegis of the Arctic Deity must have been successful.
"It's good to see you too, High King Eldric. I have a message from Aegis of the Arctic which I need to deliver to you," Orion responded, nodding in acknowledgement of High King Eldric's words.
High King Eldric and the two High Elders beside him brightened at Orion's words. "Is the message, perhaps, related to the divine artefacts?" High King Eldric asked hesitantly, wanting to confirm his thoughts.
"Yes," Orion responded, nodding in agreement.
He recounted everything that Aegis of the Arctic Deity had told him to High King Eldric and the two High Elders.
The brightened expressions of High King Eldric and the two high elders abruptly dimmed as though they were heartbroken by the information they had just received. However, their expressions gradually brightened when they heard Orion's remaining words.
"So he will give the two Divine artefacts to two individuals, one each?" High King Eldric said, his expression contemplating. However, he snapped out of his thoughts, realizing he still had time until tomorrow to select the best and most appropriate candidates to meet Aegis of the Arctic Deity for the repossession of the Divine artefacts back into the Pixie Kingdom.
He added, "Thank you for allowing us to regain possession of the Divine Artefacts, Mr. Orion."
Orion shook his head. "You don't have to worry. I've fulfilled my part of the agreement. And remember, although I may have said that I would successfully convince Aegis of the Arctic Deity to return the Divine Artefacts to you, it's still his decision whether to relinquish all the Divine Artefacts. However, since Aegis of the Arctic Deity has already given his word, it would be best if you select the best candidates to meet him to avoid any complications," Orion said solemnly.
Delivering this message proved that he had successfully persuaded Aegis of the Arctic to engage with them and consider returning the Divine artefacts to the Pixie kingdom. The rest depended on their actions.
"You don't have to worry, Mr Orion. You've already done enough by enabling us to meet with Aegis of the Arctic Deity. Whether it goes well or not, we'll take responsibility for it," High King Eldric responded solemnly, nodding in understanding.
The two High Elders nodded in agreement, mirroring the sentiments of High King Eldric. They had waited for generations to speak with Aegis of the Arctic Deity, and Orion's role in facilitating this opportunity was more than they could have hoped for.
"Alright," Orion replied simply.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We'll take our leave now, Mr Orion. We'll inform you of our progress afterwards, and then continue with the agreement so you'll know everything we've known about Aegis of the Arctic Deity," High King Eldric said.
Orion nodded silently, understanding the importance of the task ahead. As they departed, disappearing from sight, he turned his attention back to Aerialia, still in his embrace.
Orion slid his right hand downwards from the lower back of her waist towards her ass and grabbed a handful of her small, plump buttocks. He pressed it gently, ensuring that a sizable portion of her buttock filled the space between his fingers.
He then lowered his other hand and used his fingers to gently press against her pussy through the fabric covering his fingers.
The Princess of the Garden suddenly felt her legs twitch as a shiver shot through her, sending a wave of tingles racing up her spine. "Ah~ Stop~~" she quickly suppressed her moans.
Hearing her reaction, Orion paused, "What's wrong? Are you afraid we'll get caught?" he teased.
Though it was already nighttime, several Pixies were tasked with surveying the Garden at night to protect it and ensure that no weeds were hiding, waiting to seize the opportunity to attack the plants. Only during his first task did he finally gain a better understanding of several things that Pixies usually did.
The Princess of the Garden lightly smiled at Orion's teasing words, seemingly missing them after these past few days. "No, it's not that. You should know by now that I don't care if anybody is watching whenever we do it. Also, I am sure my other sisters and children are anxiously waiting for you to return home. So it's best you go back to see them first. However, before you do, I want you to tell me everything that transpired there," The Princess of the Garden said.
Orion instantly halted his actions and hugged her tightly, kissing her on both cheeks and forehead. "You simply do not understand how much I adore you," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.
The Princess of the Garden's maturity was something that Orion admired, knowing she had developed it over several thousand years of living alone in the Garden. There were times when he appreciated this side of her, but there were also moments when he wished she hadn't had to endure such experiences.
