?636 The Disheveled State Of The Royal Family

After learning that the Queen sent the guards, Orion understood that Maya and Merida must have already informed the Queen of his presence, and she was already waiting for him. Orion followed behind the guard as he led the way forward.

Within minutes, he arrived beside the familiar door where the Queen awaited him.

"The Queen is waiting inside for you, Warrior Orion."

Orion nodded at the guard. He pushed the door forward, closed it behind him, and entered the room. His eyes immediately landed on Queen Selene, who was sitting in a dishevelled appearance with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.

Although he couldn't understand what she was currently thinking about, Orion immediately sensed the reason behind her dishevelled state.

"As the Queen of the Prismerian Kingdom, it's best for you to take care of yourself. If not, the kingdom will be in a state of crisis tomorrow if anything happens to you," Orion said.

His voice attracted Queen Selene, waking her up from her dazed state. Her attention was drawn toward his figure as he walked forward and sat in the seat opposite.

"Do I look to be even more in a mess?" Queen Selene asked, a wry smile emerging on her lips.

Orion nodded in response. "Yes," he replied.

Hearing Orion's response, Queen Selene took a deep breath and exhaled deeply before tidying up her expression.

Maintaining a comfortable demeanour, she raised her head to look at Orion again, "Is this better?" Queen Selene asked with a radiant smile that hadn't previously been on her weary face.

"Although it's still not how I remember seeing you when I left the Prismerian Kingdom, it's much better than how weary you looked a minute ago," Orion responded.

Queen Selene nodded as she heard Orion's response.

"I'm sure you can already guess why I am currently looking like this," Queen Selene replied.

Orion sighed deeply before lowering his head to gaze at the artefact around Queen Selene's neck. Its persistent presence indicated that they still hadn't found a solution, implying that the King's condition had likely worsened since his departure.

Judging by Queen Selene's current demeanour, it was evident that the King didn't have much time left.

"How is the king doing?" Orion asked, anticipating the heartbreaking response.

Contrary to his expectations, Queen Selene immediately cried when she attempted to respond.

"Sniff!! Sniff!!"

Observing this, Orion chose to wait, hoping she would recover quickly. However, as her condition deteriorated, Orion rose from his seat and approached her.

When he reached her, it seemed he intended to place a comforting hand on her shoulder, but Queen Selene immediately hugged him. Her arms tightly encircled his bare waist as she wept, burying her head against his stomach.

In response to this emotional outpouring, Orion gently ran his hand through her long, soft hair. It was obvious that Queen Selene had been suppressing her emotions for quite some time, so he patiently waited for her to regain composure.

…..

"That's all that happened," Queen Selene said with a serious expression, meeting Orion's gaze.

If someone had entered the room at that moment, they would have witnessed the Queen engaged in a serious meeting with Orion, oblivious to the fact that just a few minutes ago, she had been in tears, holding onto him for comfort. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by (f)ir(e).nᴇt

Orion, however, nodded in understanding at Queen Selene's words. It turned out that the guards positioned at the upper region of the mountain were not only there for his return but also to prevent some Prismerion clans and families from venturing outside the mountain to see the current state of the world.

Queen Selene was concerned about the chaos in the kingdom if the inhabitants learned about the outside world's dire condition, so she took precautions to avoid such a situation.

Orion nodded in understanding.

"I believe I may have found a way for everyone to leave this mountain and settle outside," Orion revealed.

Queen Selene's eyes widened instantly as Orion's words echoed, and her lips parted in disbelief.

"Have you truly found a way for us to settle outside the mountain?" Queen Selene asked, her voice trembling with anticipation.

"Yes," Orion affirmed. He proceeded to explain his plan to her.

Although there was a slight possibility of it not working, he remained optimistic, hoping everything would unfold according to the plan.

Having witnessed the current state of the world beyond the mountain, Queen Selene grasped the significance of Orion's words.

As she heard the plan's details, tears unexpectedly welled in her eyes, and she wept uncontrollably.

"Is there anything I can do to repay you for all you've done for us?" Queen Selene asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

Orion shook his head, responding, "Honestly, the only thing I hope for is that you take care of yourself. Your citizens shouldn't see you in your current condition. Also, you've already promised to grant me anything I desire if I manage to kill White Flame," he said with a broad smile.

"Crystalia would be angry if I took advantage of you, so it's best to be satisfied with this instead."

Queen Selene smiled warmly and nodded in understanding.

"Okay, but if you need help with anything, remember I'll always be here, no matter what it is," Queen Selene said, her voice carrying a hint of resolution.

"I need to spread the word immediately so everyone can prepare themselves. Meanwhile, it's best to see Crystalia and comfort her as fast as possible. I'm afraid she's also in the same state as me," Queen Selene added with a sigh.

Hearing Queen Selene's words, Orion's eyes immediately became serious as he nodded. "Okay, I'll go and see her immediately," he said.

Queen Selene smiled as she stood up to her feet.

"Let me escort you to her room before I leave," Queen Selene said, looking at Orion.

.......

As the Queen left to spread the news, Orion opened the door before him and walked in.

Once inside, his eyes immediately noticed Crystalia lying on her bed, shivering. Orion quietly walked over to her bed and sat down beside her.
