Chapter 738 Orion's Assurance

High King Eldric raised his brows. "What is it?" he asked.

"You mentioned 'we,' implying that you don't intend to meet Aegis of the Arctic Deity alone. How many of you are planning to meet with him?" Orion questioned.

High King Eldric nodded in response. "Don't worry, only a few elders and I have decided to go and meet him," he assured, understanding Orion's concern.

"Alright. In that case, before I bring you all to meet Aegis of the Arctic Deity, I'd like to meet him myself and see if I can persuade him to meet with you all directly," Orion proposed.

Though he might not understand why Aegis of the Deity refused to meet with them, whatever the reason, he had to convince him to do so. If he failed, he would have no choice but to withdraw his promise.

High King Eldric furrowed his brows momentarily before nodding. "Alright. I understand your reasoning, Mr. Orion. You may proceed as you see fit," he replied, exhaling softly.

"Okay. Let's continue then so I can complete this task as quickly as possible," Orion replied.

He needed to deal with the potential threat of the four-star Vylkr Vine and attend the festival scheduled for the end of the week. Therefore, he had to wrap this up quickly to focus on other matters.

High King Eldric nodded, "Since you are unaware of how the Garden is taken care of, I already have someone in mind to help show you how you can properly experience the effort we Pixie put into caring for the Garden. Follow me, Mr Orion," he responded, standing up from his seat and walking towards the door.

Prince Alden nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to speak, High King Eldric interrupted.

"Since you're already here, Alden, why don't you help me and call your first eldest brother? He can assist in showing Mr Orion how we handle and take care of the Garden," High King Eldric ordered.

Prince Alden shifted his attention to his father, furrowing his brows in confusion. "I'm afraid eldest brother has already left the castle, Father. Didn't he inform you of an urgent matter which required his immediate attention?" Prince Alden asked, raising a brow.

A frown suddenly etched itself onto High King Eldric's expression. He had informed his first son that if Orion accepted the task, he would be the one to guide Orion and teach him about the experiences of the Pixie race, aiming to forge a strong relationship with Orion as the next High King of the Pixie race.

However, the sudden disappearance of his first son due to an urgent matter made him doubtful.

"Did he mention where he was going and this urgent matter?" High King Eldric asked, his tone serious.

"Unfortunately, I received news of his sudden departure just moments before encountering you both here, so I have no idea where he ran off to," Prince Alden responded, shaking his head.

Upon hearing Prince Alden's words, High King Eldric's frown deepened. Though he was suspicious about the only thing that might capture his first son's attention to such a degree that it might cause him to abandon everything, he hoped fervently that his guess was wrong. After all, it would be unreasonable and unbecoming of the next High King of the Pixie race.

Nevertheless, since he had no clue where his first son might have disappeared, he pushed his concerns to the back of his mind and dispatched some of the palace guards to locate him and swiftly bring him back to the palace.

Observing his father's contemplative expression, Prince Alden promptly interjected, "Father, since First brother is currently unavailable, why don't I take care of Mr Orion and assist him in understanding the daily efforts we invest in maintaining the Garden's prosperity until First brother returns?" he proposed.
