Chapter 50. NET {9}:-Mama Misses Her Baby So Much.


    "I would tell them that their worth is not measured by their magical prowess, their physical agility, or their artistic talent. Every elf has a unique gift, a distinct voice, and a valuable perspective. I would remind them that our history is filled with unsung heroes, quiet leaders, and unseen champions who made a difference without seeking recognition. I would encourage them to focus on their own journey, celebrate small victories, and find joy in the simple things. Most importantly, I would assure them that they are not alone, that we are all struggling together, and that our worth lies in our shared experiences, our empathy, and ourpassion for one another."


    Right after Orion said these words, a huge uproar urred within the kingdom.


    "I love you Prince Galdur!!!"


    "Prince Galdur!!! You''re the best!!!"


    "I won''t give up on my dreams again. I promise to be a knight and to serve you Prince Galdur!!!"


    Everyone listening to what Orion said suddenly developed even more respect for their future king.


    They were amazed by how intelligent their little prince was.


    His confidence attracted them but his words filled their hearts with even more love and respect towards him.


    Also, seeing how much he cared for them, many were ready toy down their lives for their prince if the situation called for it.


    Now, everyone had a strong belief that the prince would definitely be a greater King than other Kings in the past.


    Even Evelyn felt the same way as well.


    A huge smile appeared on her face after she heard what her baby said.


    It almost felt as though her baby had grown even more without her knowing.


    Evelyn tried her best not to leave the room she was currently in.


    She was clenching her hands tightly into fists, resisting the urge to suddenly appear behind Orion and rain kisses on him.


    She didn''t care about what her subjects would think of her if they witnessed her affectionate disy of love for her beloved son.


    Her baby boy had confidently acted like a future king of the elf kingdom. it was only expected of her to show how proud she was of her cute little baby.


    However, Evelyn couldn''t rush over to Orion and do all the things she wanted to do to him, because, unfortunately, the tournament was still ongoing and no parent was allowed to see their children until the tournament was over, so she decided to hold back the urge to hug and kiss her cute little bundle of joy.


    ''I will wait till the tournament is over.''


    ''And once it is, I''m going to cuddle and rain kisses on my little prince.''


    ''Ufufufu--- I can''t wait for the tournament toe to an end.''


    ''My sweet and precious little baby, Mama misses you so much,'' Evelyn uttered in her thoughts before reclining on her chair with a smile on her face.


    Today was the first day of the tournament, which meant the tournament still had four days left before it came to an end.


    However, Evelyn was prepared to wait till the final day before she could hug and kiss her baby as much as she wanted.


    With her mind set on what she would do in the future, Evelyn''s attention was suddenly dragged back to reality when she heard more of her people yelling how much they loved the prince of the kingdom.


    Of course, everyone in the kingdom didn''t forget to thank their Queen and princess for raising such a wonderful son and nephew.


    Without Evelyn, Orion would have never stepped into their world, and Evelyn deserved a lot of praise for raising such an outstanding child.


    "I love you, Princess Elena!!"


    "Queen Evelyn, your son is the best!! I love you both!!" n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "I only breathe for the Elfrida royal family!!"


    Everyone continued to praise the royal family before returning their gaze back to see the next activity the prince would be asked to do.


    =======


    Meanwhile, back in the room where Orion and Ganesha stood before each other, Ganesha opened his mouth to speak with a huge smile on his face.


    "Well done, Your Highness, you can walk through here to begin the next phase of the tournament."


    Ganesha bowed and showed Orion where to enter next to participate in the final phase of the tournament.


    "Thank you, tournament official Ganesha," Orion thanked him with a smile before leaving the room.


    As he stepped out of the room, an arrow appeared above his head.


    The arrow was made up of mana and seemed to act like a guide to help him navigate his way to the next room where the next activity of the tournament would be taking ce.


    ''I wonder how the archerypetition will be carried out.''


    ''The hunting task was a bit difficult but I was able to do what was required of me.''


    ''The history and riddle part was a bit tricky, but official Ganesha seemed happier and his mood changed right after I answered thest question.''


    ''I guess that''s a sign that I did pretty well in that aspect of the tournament.''


    ''Oh, I could check my magical card, to see how many points I have obtained.''


    Orion swiftly delved his hand into his back pocket to grab his magical card.


    He nced at the point he had umted so far and his eyes widened in surprise.


    ''2,450 points?''


    ''Isn''t this higher than the points the first in the ranking currently has?''


    ''Amazing,'' Orion suddenly smiled to himself when he realized he was now ranked higher than everyone else.


    Orion continued to trail behind the mana arrow floating in front of him, but while he was walking, Orion suddenly noticed something.


    ''It doesn''t look like the next activity will be carried out indoors because the arrow seems to be leading me outside.''


    Orion noticed that he was walking towards the garden of the castle, but when he got there, Orion could see a huge gazebo in front of him.


    Upon stepping into the gazebo, Orion noticed a female elf who happened to be a nature elf just like Hilda.


    She was dressed in a flowing green dress and she curtsied before Orion.


    Without waiting for Orion to say or ask any questions, the female tournament official weed him to the final activity of the tournament for the day.


    "Wee, Prince Galdur. I am tournament official Ira, and I wee you to the final activity of the first day of the tournament."


    "Thank you, Miss Ira. Is there anything I need to know about this final phase of today''s tournament?"


    "Yes, Your Highness. Your final activity for today will not only be based on Archery, but you will also be partaking in an endurance test," Ira began exining, then she noticed the worried look on Orion''s face.


    "You have nothing to worry about, Your Highness. You won''t be doing anything dangerous, I assure you."


    "A-are you sure?"


    "Yes, I am."


    "Okay, Miss Ira," Orion replied politely with a smile on his face.


    Noticing the smile on Orion''s face, Ira smiled back as well.


    She couldn''t help but feel excited to be standing before the prince of the kingdom.


    It felt like a dreame true to finally speak with someone from the royal family, and aside from this, she could never get tired of hearing Orion''s cute little voice.


    She wanted to hear his sweet little voice over and over again.


    If they weren''t currently busy with the tournament, Ira would have definitely moved closer to Orion to listen to more of his cute voice.


    She had heard every word Orion had said while he answered all of Ganesha''s questions, and she felt touched by his response to Ganesha''s final question.


    Ira had always doubted herself and her abilities. She saw herself as someone inferior to her peers.


    For example, Hilda.


    Ira saw Hilda as a woman with immense magical potential, unlike her, who could never see the result of her hard work, no matter how hard she tried to improve herself.


    However, after hearing what Orion said a few minutes ago.


    Ira felt like Orion''s words were specifically aimed at her.


    She felt relieved to see that someone from the royal family noticed her potential, whether indirectly, and believed she could be someone great in the future.


    She wouldn''t even mind dying for Orion, if he wished for her to do so.


    Of course, there was no way Orion would make such an outrageousmand, but Ira couldn''t help but imagine such a possibility happening in the future.


    She was also imagining several other naughty things in her mind that she wouldn''t mind doing if an older and more mature version of the prince asked her to do them.


    However, unbeknownst to her, Ira''s face and ears were now red and she had a silly smile on her face while thinking of doing several naughty things with an older version of Orion.


    "Miss Ira," Orion called out to her, causing Ira to snap out of her daydream.
