Village Head's Debauchery

Orion immediately winced as he used his hand to smooth the slight pain on his forehead, staring at Anara in confusion. 

Anara snorted at his confused expression before turning around and walking towards Saria.

Once she arrived before her, she stretched out her hands and grabbed both of Saria's hands, holding them firmly within her grip. 

"No matter what, it's his fault for not explaining everything correctly to you before now so you wouldn't be as confused as you are currently. However, now that it has reached this point, I think it's only proper that I clarify everything correctly," Anara said, with a warm smile. "

Yes, I'm also his partner; however, I only became his partner a week ago, after I had given birth to Grace, whom none of us had expected since tree nymphs obviously can't give birth until now," Anara nodded with a slight chuckle escaping her lips. 

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder if she would get pregnant again if she allowed Orion to penetrate her once more.

Anara quickly shook her head as soon as that thought entered her mind. She remembered that she still had to think of a way to cure Grace's current condition before she thought about bringing any other children into this world.

In fact, even if she didn't, her tree could not sustain all three of them if she suddenly gave birth to another baby, so she could only shove those thoughts to the back of her head for now.

"So... everything that he said is true," Saria asked, feeling as though her mind was slowly becoming stable as she processed everything she had just heard.

Anara nodded in response.

Although she believed everything that Orion had said because he was her partner, thinking that Anara was also his partner and that she had also given birth was something she was sure everyone would find hard to believe the first time. 

After all, she had no expectations of bearing his children and only desired to cherish their remaining time together.

However, witnessing Anara confirm his words, Saria shifted her attention towards Orion in shame and said, "Sorry that I didn't believe you the first time…" Before she could finish her words, however, Orion immediately arrived before her and wrapped his arms around her gently.

"Don't worry, there is no need for you to apologize," Orion said. 

He had just witnessed Saria confess her love to him before everyone, and although he didn't yet know what the restrictions of her actions would be since the Village Chief had lifted them, which he would do his best to find out about later, all he currently knew was that Saria loved him to the extent that she was willing to take up any sacrifice for him, so there wasn't any reason for him to see her apologize in a situation like this.

Immediately, Saria felt the strange wave of emotions that had clung together in her chest vanish as though it was never there as she wrapped her hands around him also.

Meanwhile, unknown to Orion and Saria, Anara also had the same wild emotions raging inside her when she saw Saria's gaze on her. 

However, Anara didn't know how to explain it because it was strangely almost the same feeling she had when she first discovered that she had become a mother. In short, this emotion was something new to her, something that she needed to explore further and understand. 

As such, she held onto that emotion with a warm smile as she watched Orion and Saria's conversation. 

After all, it wasn't every day that she got to witness another tree nymph fall in love with the same person that she was also in love with.

Soon, they released each other from the hug.

"Alright, after this, I'll take you to see Grace, but before that, I need to get back and check on your elder sisters because I'm sure they would all be worried sick about why I haven't returned yet," Orion said. "As for the introductions…"

"Don't worry, I'll handle it and properly introduce myself to my sisters," Saria said as she gently grabbed Orion's nose with her knuckles, as though she wanted to pull it off, before releasing him. 

After she had calmed down, Saria figured that the best way to introduce herself to her sisters would be to do it herself, or risk Orion taking the same approach and sending them into a momentary lapse of disbelief and confusion.

Understanding what Saria was thinking from her grip, Orion cleared his throat, realizing it might be a good idea to start from there. However, he would have to introduce Grace to them personally as it was the proper thing to do.

"Alright, I'll bring them to Anara's tree to introduce everyone to Grace," Orion added.

Saria nodded in response, understanding that it would be best if he introduced Grace to all of them at once instead of doing it individually.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you all at Anara's tree, then," Saria replied.

Orion nodded once more in understanding. 

He gave her a peck on her lips before releasing her and walking towards Anara to do the same.

"Come back as quickly as you can, because I can't wait to meet the rest of my sisters," Anara said as she gave Orion another peck on the lips before knowingly grabbing Saria's hand and gesturing for Dariya to follow her. She turned around and walked away with Saria.

Dariya had a conflicted expression as she looked at Orion, her eyes burning straight onto his figure as though she wanted to convey her words through her eyes. 

However, ultimately, she gave up, releasing a deep sigh. 

"Now is not the best time to talk; I will meet you later when you are less busy so that we can talk privately," Dariya said before she turned around and caught up with Anara and Saria.

Orion could already predict the details of Dariya's conversation with him, as he had also wanted to speak with her, especially considering that she was the first tree nymph he had ever been with. This meant that she also had a special place in his heart.
