The girls were about twenty in number, hiding behind five different trees to spy... I mean, observe their beloved prince from a safe distance.
Prince Galdur had already registered for four different clubs, so they were expecting him to register for a fifth club.
However, during the time that they had been watching him closely, the girls had noticed an elf with a unique hair color who was always beside him.
"Girls, are you sure the girl walking around with Prince Galdur is actually an elf?"
"Yes, she is."
"Then, why is her hair black?"
"I believe her hair is black because she's part vampire."
"She's part vampire? But doesn't this mean she's one of the most hated elf races in the kingdom?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking."
"But it doesn't look like Prince Galdur hates her."
"You're right."
"Look, he's asking her to sit next to him."
"Oh my gosh, she's so lucky."
"I know, right? I wish I was her right now."
"But girls, doesn't this mean that Prince Galdur is attracted to her?"
"Well, I can understand why he is attracted to her."
"Yes, because she's quite pretty."
"No, she's very pretty."
"I'm so jealous right now."
Orion signaled for the girls to come and every single one of them hurried over to sit and talk to Dahlia.
There was a genuine look of happiness on their faces, and every one of them was truly eager to become closer to Dahlia.
Of course, a big part of their happiness was because they heard Orion's voice in their minds, but they all noticed that if they ever wished to be close to Orion, the elf who could make that dream come true would be their Big sister Dahlia.
Seeing how the girls were eager to know more about Dahlia, a smile appeared on Orion's face and he turned around to leave the park while waving goodbye.
> Orion informed Dahlia telepathically before vanishing away.
His telepathic skill had improved to the point where he could easily communicate with about twenty to thirty people without having to open his mouth to talk to them, as long as they were around him.
Meanwhile, Dahlia still couldn't believe what she was seeing and hearing. Everything around her seemed to be happening too fast for her brain to assimilate.
She heard Orion's voice in her mind and watched as he vanished before her eyes, and that was how Dahlia knew Orion must have done something to make the girls become so friendly to her.
She didn't know why she had told Orion about herself, but she was genuinely glad that he took his time to listen to her past.
Her eyes overflowed with tears and for the first time in her life, Dahlia was pleased to be alive.
She was feeling very emotional and her tears continued to stream down her cheeks. This took the girls by surprise, and they wondered what they had done wrong to make the beautiful vampire elf cry.
"Big sister, Dahlia, is everything alright?"
"Was it something we said?"
"We're sorry, we didn't mean to make you cry."
"No, it's not your fault," Dahlia continued to wipe the tears away from her face.
One might wonder why the girls were referring to Dahlia as big sister, and this was thanks to Orion.
Although Dahlia had the appearance of an eighteen-year-old girl, she was actually more than two hundred years old, so he wanted them to treat her as their friend and big sister.

A/N:- I hope I have been able to give a clear picture of what runes look like. They resemble Norse runes, and if you still don't know what these are, you can check online to see the countless number of Norse runes that exist and what each of them means.
Of course, I'll try to elaborate more on what they are as the story progresses.
