Village Head's Debauchery

"What kind of challenge had you encountered?" she asked, awaiting his response.

"The Vylkr artefact tried to stop us from capturing it. I wonder if you have any information on artefacts that fight anyone who approaches them after their formation," Orion asked, summoning the Vylkr artefact within his room.

Aerialia flinched at the sudden appearance of the lifeless humanoid filled with dense Vylkr energy in the room. She quickly regained her composure, realizing this was the Vylkr artefact.

"Is this...?" Aerialia asked, turning her head sharply toward Orion for confirmation.

"Yes, this is the Vylkr artefact," Orion confirmed with a nod. He then explained everything that had occurred, detailing the Vykr artefact's abilities.

After he finished, Aerialia nodded in understanding. "Yes, sartefacts are known to fight with any beings approaching them after awakening until they are subdued and claimed by an owner. However, they aren't usually as powerful as this when they complete their transformation," she remarked, her brows furrowing in deep thought.

A Vylkr artefact with the strength of a five-star warrior was absurd in every way. During the 'Great War,' when the influx of various energies was high, mortals led by several demigods made it their life's work to secure artefacts upon their formation to exchange for necessities or favours.

Although they tended to avoid artefacts sentient enough to attack any being who dared to approach, depending on the risk involved, none would have survived if the artefacts possessed the strength of a five-star warrior.

Of course, she had only heard of this from her children, who were divine apostles. Unless they possessed divine artefacts, coveted by all gods, any other artefacts were useless and not something she would usually pay much attention to.

Still, even attributing it to the unpredictability of Vylkr energy, an artefact with the strength of a five-star warrior, was extraordinary.

"Do you think the Vylkr spawn might be somehow related to it? Since they cto retrieve the artefact," Aerialia asked.

"I've considered that, but we won't know until we question a Vylkr spawn. And frankly, I'd rather not encounter one right now," Orion replied, his shoulders slumping tiredly.

Aerialia nodded in understanding. "At the very least, with its abilities, it's safe to say it was worth the effort."

Orion nodded and re-summoned the artefact into its mark. "The only thing left is reconnecting to the outside world. Maybe we'll find a way to help Aurora with our child and perhaps even find a way to restore your body," he said.

Hearing Orion's words, Aerialia exhaled. She knew finding information like that wouldn't be easy, but she didn't dissuade him from his goals. After all, his persistence might uncover something interesting.

"I really hope you find something helpful," Aerialia replied.

After Orion finished informing Aerialia about all the necessary details, he summoned the Crimson Greatsword back, causing Aerialia to return with it, and stepped out of his room.

As he did, he immediately noticed a group of small flying individuals hovering beside his door. It was Maeve and the other Pixie women. Surprisingly, Gina was among them in a tiny pixie form with two delicate wings behind her back.

In fact, he had already sensed them waiting outside his room, so he had stepped out after his conversation with Aerialia.

"Mr. Orion, we need to speak with you," Maeve said, moving forward when she noticed Orion's arrival.

The others followed behind her.

"What is it? Have you finally cto a decision?" Orion asked, raising an eyebrow.

Maeve had informed him that she needed more tbefore making a decision. However, now that it appeared he would be descending the floating island too soon, she had finally decided and had cto inform him.

Maeve nodded with a solemn expression. "We've made our decision."

"We?" Orion asked, raising an eyebrow.

He didn't recall proposing to Whisperwing and the others; he had simply told them they could visit the manor whenever they wanted since it was not every day his wives had to make new friends from an entirely different race.

"I, Whisperwing, Breezeflutter, and Willow have made our decision," Maeve responded.

After her words, the others behind her flew forward and hovered beside her.

"I, Whisperwing, Breezeflutter, and Willow have made our decision. Mr. Orion, I've chosen to accept your proposal and becyour partner," Maeve said firmly. She flew forward and kissed Orion on the side of his cheek.

Although Orion had previously imagined being kissed by a Pixie woman, he had expected it to be much more exciting and stimulating. However, the reality was more disappointing than he had imagined. Still, even if the kiss wasn't sensational but cute, his heart was at ease knowing Maeve had accepted his proposal.

Regardless, upon hearing her words, Orion suddenly realized what they all wanted to say. Orion swept his eyes over Willow and Breezeflutter, observing as they nodded in response, confirming his guess.

"I have something I want to say as well," Whisperwing said, gathering her courage. "Will you be my partner?" she uttered, lowering her head to the ground when she finished her sentence.

Although Breezeflutter and Willow didn't have much hope that he would accept their proposals, they decided to try it after Whisperwing's and Maeve's persuasion.

"I… would also like to propose to you, Mr. Orion," Breezeflutter stuttered.

"I also want to propose to you Mr. Orion's partner and will do my best to learn from my future sisters… to becthe best wife," Willow said slightly more confidently.

Gina observed the scene with a sigh before suddenly feeling happy as she remembered that she would be going through her awakening ceremony this year. Once she awakens her gift, she can show the love she's been suppressing for Orion all these years.

Orion looked at the three Pixies who had proposed to him, his expression thoughtful.

"Are you sure about this? While I can assure you of my love and have no issue sharing it among my women, and promise that I'll always be there whenever you need me, I can't guarantee that you wouldn't encounter any problems within my large family," Orion responded, briefly focusing on Maeve, who flew towards him and settled on his right shoulder near his neck, before turning his attention back to Breezeflutter and the others.
