Chapter 759 Internal Strife

"Mr Orion, once all of this is over, are you sure you can lead us to the Aegis of the Arctic Presence? Even if you can, the High King and his High Elders are too focused on retrieving the divine artefacts from Aegis of the Arctic Deity, so there's no saying whether any of this will end well or if it comes to the detriment of something else. So, are you prepared to handle whatever incidents occur during or after the meeting?" Guildmaster Alaric asked, his tone serious as he awaited Orion's response.

Orion realized that Guildmaster Alaric also knew about the Divine artefacts, which didn't surprise him considering the Guildmaster's authority and the fact that he is responsible for the well-being of the entire Garden.

"Don't worry about it, Guildmaster. Since I have chosen to take you all to see the Aegis of the Arctic Deity face to face, I'll naturally be ready to handle whatever incidents occur during or after the meeting," Orion responded confidently.

"Though I want to believe your words, considering my responsibility to oversee the entire garden along with my assistant, it's hard not to worry that any slight occurrence might destroy everything I've worked hard to care for for years," Alaric responded, sighing deeply. "But since you seem confident, Mr. Orion, I will choose to have faith in your words."

Even the Vice Guildmaster, standing behind Alaric, couldn't help but sigh in response.

"Lastly, Mr Orion, I would like you to answer this question truthfully," Alaric said.

"As I said previously, Guildmaster, my response depends on the type of question you are asking," Orion responded.

Guildmaster Alaric nodded. "Mr Orion, if there ever comes a time when there is a civil war within the Pixie Kingdom, I would like to know if you will be intent on stopping it or if you will side with the royal family to handle whosoever their opponents are," he asked.

He couldn't ask if Orion would merely watch a war erupt within the Pixie Kingdom without intervening, as that wouldn't be possible, so he didn't consider such an option. Instead, he was more curious about whether Orion would stop the war and focus on resolving the conflict peacefully on both sides or if he would willingly join the royal family's side to crush their opponents.

The door suddenly swung open before he could say more, and High Prince Kael and Fourth Prince Alden entered the room.

"I apologize for the interruption, Guildmaster Alaric, but I need to guide Mr Orion so he can complete the rest of his tasks before the day's end," High Prince Kael interjected.

Guildmaster Alaric shook his head reassuringly. "No need to worry; our meeting has ended," he replied. Turning to Orion, he added, "Thank you for your time, Mr Orion. I hope we can continue our discussion another time."

Orion nodded. "Of course," he replied.

Guildmaster Alaric smiled warmly. "Prince Alden, I understand you had some issues with your identity plaque. Why don't you take the opportunity to resolve it before you leave? Maeve will assist you personally," he suggested, shifting his focus to Prince Alden.

Prince Alden, appearing more defeated than before, wore an expression that suggested he'd rather be elsewhere at that moment. Despite this, he managed a wry smile and nodded in response. "Thank you for your assistance, Guildmaster," he responded.

High Prince Kael also nodded, silently expressing his gratitude to Guildmaster Alaric for the help.

Guildmaster Alaric returned the nod before turning his attention to Maeve. "Before you return to work, you can assist Mr Orion, the High Prince, and the Fourth Prince with processing their identity plaques to make things easier for them," he instructed.

Maeve nodded solemnly. "Understood. I'll take care of everything, Guildmaster," she responded before walking toward Orion and the others.

She gestured for them to follow her as she led the way forward, with Orion, High Prince Kael, and Prince Alden trailing behind her.
