One of the female elves was a little girl, while the other elf looked like a girl around the age of eighteen.
"Elise, where is His Highness?" The little girl asked her big sister.
"I don't know, Anna,"
"But he'll come, right?"
"Me too. The prince would never lie to us," Anna said with a huge and confident smile on her face as she focused her attention on the goat once again.
Elise noticed the look on Anna's face. She understood that Anna had complete trust in Orion, and Elise felt the same way as well.
However, they had been here for the past half an hour, waiting for both Orion and the griffin to appear.
It hadn't even been five minutes since the griffin appeared, but so far, they hadn't seen Orion.
However, with the way things were going at the moment, it was looking more likely that the griffin might actually grab the goat just like every other goat it had taken from their farms.
Elise didn't want Anna to feel disappointed if Orion didn't come on time, so she decided that now would be the right time to prepare Anna for the worst possible scenario.
"Anna?" Elise called out.
"What is it, big sister?"
"I know His Highness said he would be here, but as a prince, he has a lot of things to do, so he might not be able to make it."
Little Anna appreciated the words of her big sister but she was determined not to lose faith in Orion. "I know he will come. I believe in him."
"But..." Elise wanted to say something else but she stopped after hearing one of the male elves speaking in front of her.
"The griffin, it's on the move," The male elf's words caused everyone to turn towards the griffin.
They could see the griffin, spreading out its huge wings as it glided straight to the goat, its eyes and claws dead set on grabbing its prey.
"Oh, no. My goat. She's gonna die," One of the male elves couldn't sit around to watch anymore. He had to save his precious goat.
The huge goat swiftly spun around and ran straight to Quasimodo, not wasting a second to even look back.
She could already see Quasimodo getting closer to her but now he had tears streaming down his cheeks. He called her name one more time and at that moment, Esmeralda knew she might never see Quasimodo again.
However, to her surprise, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly struck behind her, filling everyone's ears with a resounding rumble of thunder.
"Mehh?" Esmeralda halted and turned around to see Orion standing before two large beasts whose heads were impaled by a large ice spear.
The four male elves running behind Quasimodo, couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Just now, they were certain that Esmeralda would be gone forever because of how close the griffin had gotten to her.
However, to their surprise, a huge bolt of lightning struck from the sky with two large beasts now dead in front of the huge goat.
Looking closely, they could see Orion standing beside the two dead beasts.
Anna also noticed Orion and a smile formed on her lips. The little girl hurriedly ran towards her prince to give him a hug, passing by the male elves who were still standing in awe at what they had just witnessed.
They knew the prince was extremely strong because of the number of wins and achievements he'd had in the Coliseum, but they never expected him to kill a rank eight and nine beast so easily.
After they calmed their racing minds, they moved closer to the prince to thank him.
Meanwhile, Anna jumped at Orion while giggling and Orion caught her in his arms with a smile on his face.
Elise, on the other hand, was running behind Anna, but her eyes widened in surprise when she saw her sister jump towards the prince.
Her heart instantly clenched in fear at what she saw.
How could a girl from a humble background suddenly jump on a member of the royal family?
There was no doubt about it, such an action could only result in a serious punishment for not only Anna but also everyone in her family.
"Anna!! What do you think you're doing? You need to..." Anna tried to scold the little girl but Orion spoke first.
"Oh, so this little girl's name is Anna?" Orion asked with a smile on his face as he poked the little girl's nose, causing Anna to giggle after nodding her head in response.
