Chapter 92: 92. Goblin King.

With a worried look on her face, Elsie instantly kowtowed before Orion. "Your Highness, please forgive my little sister for..." Elsie tried to beg Orion not to be annoyed by what her little sister did, but she wasn't expecting Orion to utter the words he did.

'It's fine," Orion replied.

He understood what Elsie wanted to say, but he didn't mind a little girl around Anna's age acting like a child towards him.

It was clear to see that the little girl simply wanted to give him a hug, so he decided to make her happy by giving her a hug in return.

Besides, he felt no malicious intent oozing out of the little girl.

Orion flashed a smile toward Elsie, assuring her that nothing would happen to her, Anna, or their family.

Elsie's cheeks reddened instantly as she stared at the prince's stunning face while she nodded her head in response.

Realizing what she was doing, Elsie immediately lowered her gaze to the ground, trying her best not to look into the prince's mesmerizing eyes.

She had heard a lot about how incredibly handsome the prince was from her friends, but she hadn't expected him to be such a sexy hunk.

He was definitely the man of her dreams, and If Orion were to ask her to strip right there and now, she would definitely comply in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, Anna giggled and Orion returned his gaze to the little girl.

"Prince Galdur, I knew you would come."

"Really?"

Anna nodded her head in response with a cute smile on her face. "Yes, and I love how you dropped from the sky and killed those two beasts. You were like swish, swoosh, boom, and bam!!!"

Orion smiled when he saw how Anna described what he had just done. He poked the little girl's nose and she giggled once again.

"Can you do it again?" Anna asked excitedly, eager to see Orion killing a new set of beasts in a similar way.

"You wanna see me do it again?"

"Yes."

Orion smiled and placed the five-year-old girl on the floor before patting her head. "Maybe, next time Little Anna."

Orion wasn't bothered by the few hours he had left to attend the entrance ceremony.

He knew he would be able to complete this meager task in time to attend the ceremony.

As for what Orion wanted to do right now, the answer was simple, he was here to kill a goblin king.

For the past couple of weeks, there had been rumors about how the griffin and the wyrmling weren't the only ones responsible for the sudden shortage of food in the kingdom.

This was actually due to a goblin who had suddenly become King.

Normally, a goblin shouldn't be a problem for any adventurer or mage, however, this goblin king was different.

Not only was the goblin king not a rank 2 threat for mages and knights. The goblin king's rank was actually at rank nine and Orion wondered why and how this was possible.

How could a goblin have survived for so long that it became as strong as a rank nine mage?

This was simply impossible unless the goblin had found a magical artifact that might have increased its ranking tremendously.

However, if this were to be the case, then how did the goblin find such an artifact in the first place?

Anyways, the most important thing was to confront the goblin king and end it once and for all, but the goblin king wasn't like any other goblin.

There had been rumors that the goblin king had evolved into a hobgoblin, hence why its strength had increased tremendously.

It also had the ability to summon Rank 8 trolls and gnomes which had raided different farms in both El'vendom and El'rial {The village of fishing}.

Merchants in the kingdom had made a formal complaint to the guild about how huge trolls and gnomes had targeted their caravans which happened to be transporting valuable resources to the teleportation array that led to the Coliseum city or the Capital city.

The guild had sent adventurers to aid the merchants in stopping these trolls but they were unable to handle such a level of threat.

As for the adventurers who could handle the level of threat, none of them were currently available in the guild, hence why Orion had to step in to see what could have given the goblin king the ability to summon and control powerful gnomes and trolls.

Aside from all these, the goblin king seemed to be capable of reasoning as well, which was why it knew the right time to target merchants who were transporting their goods.
