Chapter 590 Making Sense Of The Absurd

'But I still don't know why I wasn't able to get pregnant, so I need to find a way to talk to him as soon as possible,' Dariya thought.

'Tchh! I need to see if I can speak with him privately soon,' Malaia thought.

"Are you aware of what kind of request you are asking for, Saria?" The Village Chief asked curiously.

As the Village Chief, he also had knowledge about the last time a tree nymph had made such a request and knew that the story was much more than a myth.

Saria fixed her eyes on the Village Chief and nodded her head firmly.

The Village Chief turned to look at Orion before shifting his gaze towards Saria. Although this was something he couldn't understand, seeing Saria's expression, he grasped that she had already thought things through and was serious about her request.

"Is there any specific reason you would like to let us know why you made such a request?" the Village Chief asked, calming down his thoughts and voicing the question on everyone's mind.

Saria nodded.

"Yes, there is one," she responded.

"What is it, then?"

"Orion and I have just become partners. He accepted after I proposed to him, so I don't think I have any reason to be apart from my partner and not provide him with everything I have since he has done the same for me," Saria said.

Boom!!

It sounded like a tiny explosion rang in everyone's ears.

From the Village Chief to the Village Chieftess, from Stronghold Leader Zogar to Caretaker Shani, Caretaker Ivor, Caretaker Naida, Caretaker Zola, Caretaker Nala, and lastly, Seth couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock and dumbfounded surprise as soon as they heard Saria's words.

Meanwhile, Anara inwardly sighed, seeing as her guess was correct, alongside Dariya and Malaia, who could only surrender to the fact that Saria was faster than them.

"Are you sure about this?" the Village Chief asked, his voice filled with disbelief.

Even if he had heard it clearly, he needed to confirm it again to ensure it wasn't a mistake.

"Yes. The both of us are partners."

First, it was Anara, who now even had a child with Orion, and now it was Saria. At this point, the Village Chief and even those present couldn't help but wonder how Orion had managed to become partners with two tree nymphs.

Naka knows that they still couldn't wrap their heads around his and Anara's relationship, and suddenly, he entered into another relationship with a tree nymph days later.

As the Village Chief thought about Orion's partners and how unattractive they seemed for a young man with so much potential, he began to realize that his strange taste in women also extended beyond his race.

Even if Saria was beautiful, just thinking about it was enough for him to see how preposterous such a situation was, and yet...

"Haaa..." The atmosphere was filled with the sound of the Village Chief sighing deeply.

"Very well, I believe that your reasons are proper. However, because of the experience you've been through with one of our key figures and also because you are Orion's partner—one of the most talented warriors with the highest potential, and the most outstanding young man of this generation and several others I've ever laid eyes on as the Village Chief—I don't think it would be good for us to allow you to relinquish all of your rights and put any restrictions on you. In other words, think of it as your compensation also," the Village Chief said.

His words caused the Village Chieftess and the others to snap their heads towards him. However, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't open their lips and say a word.

And even if they could, what could they say? nOVe)lb-1n

After all, since the farm would finally be experiencing some peace after almost two and a half weeks of chaos, they understood that it was necessary to give Saria a reasonable and satisfying compensation to prevent such chaos from erupting once more.

So even if the reason for the compensation wasn't reasonable to any of them or even to an ordinary villager, seeing Saria's satisfied expression, they immediately understood that it was worth it and probably the best compensation they could give her.

As such, none of them spoke out or saw the need to.

Meanwhile, Seth couldn't help but feel his face slightly scrunch as he listened to his father's unhidden praise for Orion.

It was apparent just from his words alone that he would unhesitatingly select Orion as the next Village Chief, if possible.

Saria nodded in understanding before shifting her attention towards Anara, seeking her approval as well.

Anara noticed Saria's gaze and also nodded her head in response.

"If this is truly what you want, then I see no problem with this compensation. I approve," she responded with a deep exhale escaping her lips as she stole a glance at Orion for the umpteenth time.

"Thank you, Chief. Thank you, Tree Nymphs' Overseer," she said, suppressing the happiness in her heart.

Although she knew that they were only doing this to compensate her for what Rightward Stronghold Drakar had done to her and also for the experiences that she had gone through, she was still pleased that neither of them had opposed it.

Also, regardless of whether she was given any restrictions, she wouldn't change her mind and make another decision.

Before anyone could say another word, Saria dashed from her position and threw herself into Orion's arms, wrapping her arm around him and giving him a tight, comfortable hug.

Orion reciprocated by wrapping his arms around her as well.

Although he was a confident individual, he would still feel embarrassed if he were stared at by so many people with various strange gazes, which they each tried their best to hide, but failed ultimately.

Fortunately, it was at that moment when the Village Chief suddenly spoke up.

"Since that's all, a meeting will be held before the sun sets, and every key figure is advised to be present. Orion and Seth, you both will have to attend so you can narrate everything that happened to us from the very beginning to the end," he said, looking at Orion and Seth, respectively, who nodded in understanding.

"Okay, Chief," Orion responded.

"Understood, Chief," Seth replied.
