Chapter 1010: A Slightly Happy Home
Orion placed the Crimson Greatsword in a special area within the main parlour.
"How did the appointment of the leaders in the Runaway Cities go?" Gina asked eagerly, her arms linked with Orion as she led him inside the manor.
Due to her pregnancy, a noticeable bulge was already showing on her stomach. She treated herself with extra care, refraining from arousing Orion unless she wanted to go through an unpleasing experience. From the experiences other women had shared, she didn\'t want to experience it.
The rest of the household looked at Gina with a defeated gaze. They greeted Aerialia one by one, hoping she would share some of her endless stories since there was nothing else to do while the children were asleep and their tasks were complete.
Unknowingly to Gina, the women never had an unpleasant experience having kushi with Orion at any time, only retracting for the rest of their sisters to handle him when they were too tired. They had lied to her so she would develop a little restraint around Orion.
"It\'s prospone. I had to deal with something even more important today. Also, take down your shield. I never agreed to you using it for such a purpose," Orion responded, pinching Gina\'s cheek and kissing her forehead to preempt any objections she might have.
Gina relented and took down the shield.
Sura immediately approached and kissed him passionately before pulling away. "What important matter delayed you today?" Gina asked, ignoring Sura\'s abrupt entrance. With Orion\'s recent surge in power, they had also noticed his semen becoming more fertile. Until Seraphina and Greta developed a new fertility suppression formula, none of them were allowed to have kushi with him unless they were prepared to conceive again. His semen now even tasted better than Kalna fruits and other varieties within Paradise.
After this discovery, Greta, Celeste, Vivian, Derry, Ayla, Fifi, and Fiona were eager to have more children. However, with their hands full caring for the current children and managing personal tasks, especially with Saria primarily responsible for the children, they had no choice but to abide by the rule.
As such, Gina wasn\'t concerned about her temporarily diverting Orion\'s attention.
"GINNAAA!!" A thunderous voice echoed through the manor.
Turning towards the source of the shout, Orion spotted a visibly pregnant Meldra in her elegant dress, glaring fiercely at Gina below.
Sensing Meldra\'s anger, Gina kissed Orion on the cheek. "I\'ll come see you in your room later," she said before darting through another door leading to a building adjacent to the
manor.
Meldra locked her gaze on Gina\'s retreating form and ascended the stairs, intending to use another door connecting the buildings. The interconnected layout made the entire compound appear like one vast and expansive home.
"What\'s going on between those two?" Orion asked with a furrowed brow.
"Earlier today, Meldra caught Gina in her private study room, reading her book containing several romantic notes about her and you. It caused quite a stir, drawing everyone\'s attention to this unexpected discovery. The situation was defused quickly when it became clear that Gina had only delivered an herbal mixture prepared by Greta. However, Meldra was still angry and irritated."
"Lyra, Derry, and Whisperwing convinced Gina to show them where the book was stored, leading to an unfortunate accident that partially destroyed the notes. We\'ve been trying to restore them since this afternoon, but it\'s been difficult. Unfortunately, Meldra has now found out and is blaming Gina, as she\'s the only one who knew where the notes were kept," Sura explained.
Their recent grasp of writing made replicating Meldra\'s handwriting and recalling her exact words difficult, further complicating the restoration process.
"You don\'t have to worry about it, though. Celeste and Ingrid are already prepared to handle it, so the issue will be taken care of soon," she swiftly added. She didn\'t want Orion to think this was something serious they couldn\'t handle, especially since she suspected he must have had a long day.
Orion shook his head. "Let\'s go see how they settle it. It\'ll be troublesome if Gina and Meldra have any lingering issues because of this in the future," he responded, knowing that Lyra and Derry\'s influence had already proven to be challenging to manage.
He didn\'t want Meldra to think that Gina might follow their path. As for Whisperwing, Orion couldn\'t tell if she had already been influenced or was the one giving them even more wild ideas. She was just as mischievous as the others.
Furthermore, he was curious about what was in Meldra\'s notes.
Sura shook her head, "No, even if you don\'t need to sleep, you still need to rest after such a long day. Besides, I have something I need to speak with you about privately." She immediately pulled Orion up the stairs.
Witnessing her gaze, Orion exhaled tiredly and nodded. He planned to check on the issue once The finished speaking with Sura.
They ascended to the top of the stairs and exited the balcony. Sura turned to face him, wrapping her arms around Orion and pulling him into a hug.
"What is it that you want to tell me?" Orion asked, returning the hug and planting a kiss on her forehead.
"I simply wanted to thank you for making me feel special," Sura responded, her chin resting on Orion\'s chest as she looked up at him. "I, along with several others, know we aren\'t as extraordinary as Seraphina, Fifi, and the others. We\'re grateful that with the Vylkr Fusion Armlet, we\'ll all have a chance to become warriors-a dream we never imagined."
"If that\'s the case, you\'ll have to thank Seraphina and the Healers Association because, without their help, I wouldn\'t be able to accomplish this alone," Orion responded.
"We understand that, but none of this would have been possible without you. They recognize that too, so I\'m sure they wouldn\'t object to you receiving a significant portion of the praise," Sura replied, sealing her lips with Orion\'s once more.
