Chapter 1008: A Promising Plan



After placing Greroth in a room within the building where the Vylkr alloy harvesting was taking place, Orion ordered the warriors to attend to him and summon a healer to aid in his recovery until he was well enough to speak and answer their questions. With the number of vigilant warriors keeping watch, any foolish action on Greroth's part would be swiftly thwarted.

Next, Orion instructed Seth to maintain a vigilant watch over the three Runaway Cities. Despite knowing his plan had been effective, remaining alert was paramount to handle any unforeseen circumstances. With that settled, Orion returned to Paradise and immediately summoned the Crimson Greatsword.

The Crimson Greatsword materialized before him in a flash of light, accompanied by Aerialia. "What's is it?" Orion asked, catching Aerialia's gaze. He wasn't quite ready to return home and first surveyed the floating city to assess its condition.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

"Nothing much. I was curious about your future as a ruler. After all, I'll be accompanying you until I can reconstruct my new body," Aerialia replied, shaking her head.

Orion smiled and fixed his gaze on her. "So, you won't be with me forever, even after you reconstruct your new body."

"Don't flatter yourself too much. I've dealt with gods, even in matters of the heart, and it isn't something that shakes me easily," Aerialia snorted before adding, "But depending on your future actions and your ability to create a safe haven for my children, I might reconsider."

Listening to her words, Orion was momentarily stunned before a wide smile spread across his face.

Aerialia shook her head wearily, knowing the young man well enough to suspect he was thinking mischievous thoughts. Yet, she remained unperturbed as long as he kept them to himself.

His speech echoed in her mind, reminding her of her influence on Orion's development. She realized he was growing more reliant on her, a change she hadn't fully grasped until now. While he wasn't consumed by his hedonistic desires to indulge in life's pleasures, he remained a capable leader with wisdom beyond his years.

After hours of ensuring everything was in order across the floating city, he went to the Garden. He had planned to inform Aurora about potential ways to heal her and ensure their child's safe delivery tomorrow but opted to do so today.

"I have something very important to discuss with you. Aerialia will explain it to you," Orion said, removing his mask.

Aurora brushed the dirt off her hands, turning her curious gaze from Orion to Aerialia. "What is it?" she asked.

Orion nodded at Aerialia before stepping back, giving them space to talk. Twenty minutes later, a Pixie arrived to inform him they were finished.

Orion hurried back to them. As soon as he appeared, Aurora wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close for a deep kiss.

Orion responded kindly, returning her embrace and sharing a passionate kiss before they parted.

"I can't express how happy this information makes me," Aurora said with a smile. "Even if it doesn't work, I'm determined to keep trying. You don't need to worry about my mental state."

Despite spending time with Orion's children, whom she considered her own, Aurora knew little about motherhood. Nevertheless, she was committed to persevering until they found a cure for her condition, regardless of the outcome.

"Since you're here, why don't you spend a little time before you leave?" Aurora suggested. "Saria told me she found the perfect location for the new Garden in the Fourth Border City and the forest. You can help me decide whether it's a good place."

Orion nodded, recalling the large section of the Garden on the mountain that was slowly dying and needed to be moved. "Let's go," he responded before carrying Aurora in a princess carry.

Aurora held him tightly as they ascended into the sky, with the Crimson Greatsword and Aerialia flying alongside them.

Once they arrived at the location, Orion surveyed the area and agreed with Saria's choice. They returned to the Garden and spent more time together before Orion left.
