Chapter 96: 96. Girlfriend 2.

The orc knights and guards genuflected to Orion as he stepped into the castle.

In front of him, Orion could see an elderly elf walking in his direction, and the elf bowed to him after stopping before him.

"Greetings, Your Highness. It's good to have you back in the castle."

"Thank you, Sebastian. It's great to be back."

It had been three months since he left the castle for reasons known only to him.

Of course, Mia had been with him throughout the three months, but Orion had been working on some personal matters he could not avoid.

As for why he was here, he came to see his mother before heading over to the academy.

"Your Highness, would you like to eat or drink anything before joining Her Majesty in the Fallen Angels kingdom?"

Hearing this, Orion's eyebrows became creased. "Mom isn't in the castle?"

"No, she isn't, your Highness."

"I see," Orion replied with a disappointed look on his face.

He had wanted to surprise his mother before leaving for the academy but since she was already in the Fallen Angels kingdom, that meant he would have to leave the kingdom soon as well.

"As for your food, Your Highness. The chef recently made..." Sebastian wanted to list out the foods that had been laid out on the dining table but Orion wasn't really interested in eating anything right now.

"Oh, about that. I'm not really hungry."

Sebastian nodded his head in understanding and bowed before Orion. "I understand, Your Highness, but is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, there's..." Orion informed Sebastian about the carcasses of the wyrmling, griffin, and goblin king he fought against.

'So, let's walk as fast as possible.'

Orion hastened his steps even more, momentarily waving at the maids and palace guards who bowed and greeted him.

Within seconds, he finally arrived in front of Evelyn's bedroom and Orion pushed the door open to greet his beautiful spirit guardian.

"Good morning, babe...mmm." Mia immediately chucked a pillow at his face before folding her arms underneath her breasts which had grown bigger over the years, rivaling that of his aunt but was still below that of his mother.

"Where were you?" Mia asked, with a furious look on her face and her feet tapping the ground repeatedly.

Mia had finally decided on the angry look she wanted to make.

As for her feet tapping on the ground, it had become a habit of hers to do this whenever she was mad at her devilishly handsome master and boyfriend.

Orion held the pillow away from his face before tossing it back to the bed, then he took one step forward and arrived in front of Mia, wrapping his arms around her smooth, slender waist.

"I was out." He replied to her question.

"I know, but don't you know what today is? You're expected to enroll at the academy today but now we're going to be late for the entrance ceremony. Also, we agreed to meet with your mom this morning, and then we were to follow her to the academy, but you... mmm." Orion pulled her closer to him before putting his lips on hers as he gave a peck on her lips.

Pulling back to look at her face, Orion slowly caressed Mia's soft, milky white cheeks.

As always, Mia's skin was soft and he could never get tired of patting her or caressing her cheeks.

"I'm sorry," Orion said, noticing how unhappy she was, and his apology made his cute little spirit guardian blush a little.

However, she tried to remain firm by maintaining an angry look on her face.

She looked into Orion's eyes but with less anger than she had a few seconds ago. "Babe, it's been three months since we last saw your mother and aunt. I thought we agreed to be here on time so we can join your mother when she is about to leave for the academy. That is why I want to know where you... mmm." Orion kissed her once again.

Mia's eyes widened in surprise at Orion's sudden kiss as he deepened it further. She could see that he was trying to avoid answering her questions, but Mia was also determined to know what he had been so busy with for him to have left their inn so early in the morning.
