With a worried look on her face, Elsie instantly kowtowed before Orion. "Your Highness, please forgive my little sister for…" Elsie tried to beg Orion not to be annoyed by what her little sister did, but she wasn''t expecting Orion to utter the words he did.
''It''s fine," Orion replied.
He understood what Elsie wanted to say, but he didn''t mind a little girl around Anna''s age acting like a child towards him.
It was clear to see that the little girl simply wanted to give him a hug, so he decided to make her happy by giving her a hug in return.
Besides, he felt no malicious intent oozing out of the little girl.
Orion shed a smile toward Elsie, assuring her that nothing would happen to her, Anna, or their family.
Elsie''s cheeks reddened instantly as she stared at the prince''s stunning face while she nodded her head in response.
Realizing what she was doing, Elsie immediately lowered her gaze to the ground, trying her best not to look into the prince''s mesmerizing eyes.
She had heard a lot about how incredibly handsome the prince was from her friends, but she hadn''t expected him to be such a sexy hunk.
He was definitely the man of her dreams, and If Orion were to ask her to strip right there and now, she would definitelyply in a heartbeat.
Meanwhile, Anna giggled and Orion returned his gaze to the little girl.
"Prince Galdur, I knew you woulde."
"Really?"
Anna nodded her head in response with a cute smile on her face. "Yes, and I love how you dropped from the sky and killed those two beasts. You were like swish, swoosh, boom, and bam!!!"
Orion smiled when he saw how Anna described what he had just done. He poked the little girl''s nose and she giggled once again.
"Can you do it again?" Anna asked excitedly, eager to see Orion killing a new set of beasts in a simr way.
"You wanna see me do it again?"
"Yes."
Orion smiled and ced the five-year-old girl on the floor before patting her head. "Maybe, next time Little Anna."
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes, I have something important to do," Orion replied, then noticed that the five farmers had arrived before him.
They all kowtowed before Orion, in gratitude for what he had done for them.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness."
"We''re forever indebted to you."
"I''m grateful, Your Highness. Now, my goat is alive, thanks to you."
"Mehh," {{ Indeed, I would have been killed if you hadn''t saved me.}}
"Mehh.," {{Thank you so much, Your Highness.}}
"Mehh," {{I''ll never forget you.}}
"Mehh," {{ long live the prince.}}
"Mehh!!!" {{ Long live the prince!!!}}
Esmeralda expressed her gratitude as well, but too bad Orion couldn''t understand what she was trying to say.
Orion smiled and acknowledged every one of their gratitude.
Although he couldn''t understand anything Esmeralda was saying, he could definitely see how happy she was.
With that out of the way, Orion decided to focus his attention on the real reason he came to El''vendom.
He activated his Omnivision skill once again, enabling him to zoom his vision deep into a scary forest that wasn''t too far from where they were right now.
Upon seeing what he was looking for, Orion''s lips widened into a smile and a magic circle appeared underneath his feet.
Everyone kowtowed before their prince as Orion bid farewell to them before vanishing from where he stood.
One could only wonder where Orion was going right now, especially since students were expected to be at the academy in the next couple of hours.
Orion wasn''t bothered by the few hours he had left to attend the entrance ceremony.
He knew he would be able toplete this meager task in time to attend the ceremony.
As for what Orion wanted to do right now, the answer was simple, he was here to kill a goblin king.
For the past couple of weeks, there had been rumors about how the griffin and the wyrmling weren''t the only ones responsible for the sudden shortage of food in the kingdom.
This was actually due to a goblin who had suddenly be King.
Normally, a goblin shouldn''t be a problem for any adventurer or mage, however, this goblin king was different.
Not only was the goblin king not a rank 2 threat for mages and knights. The goblin king''s rank was actually at rank nine and Orion wondered why and how this was possible.
How could a goblin have survived for so long that it became as strong as a rank nine mage?
This was simply impossible unless the goblin had found a magical artifact that might have increased its ranking tremendously.
However, if this were to be the case, then how did the goblin find such an artifact in the first ce?
Anyways, the most important thing was to confront the goblin king and end it once and for all, but the goblin king wasn''t like any other goblin.
There had been rumors that the goblin king had evolved into a hobgoblin, hence why its strength had increased tremendously.
It also had the ability to summon Rank 8 trolls and gnomes which had raided different farms in both El''vendom and El''rial {The vige of fishing}.
Merchants in the kingdom had made a formalint to the guild about how huge trolls and gnomes had targeted their caravans which happened to be transporting valuable resources to the teleportation array that led to the Coliseum city or the Capital city.
The guild had sent adventurers to aid the merchants in stopping these trolls but they were unable to handle such a level of threat.
As for the adventurers who could handle the level of threat, none of them were currently avable in the guild, hence why Orion had to step in to see what could have given the goblin king the ability to summon and control powerful gnomes and trolls.
Aside from all these, the goblin king seemed to be capable of reasoning as well, which was why it knew the right time to target merchants who were transporting their goods.
