Chapter 743 Fleeing Pixies

??Princess Morgana nodded in understanding. Though she now understood why Orion and Alden were there, she still couldn't fathom why Alden was accompanying Orion.

After all, wasn't her first brother, High Prince Kael, supposed to guide and ensure that Orion properly accomplished the tasks?

Even with this, Princess Morgana knew that High Prince Kael would never delegate his responsibilities to Alden. Therefore, she couldn't resist asking, "What are you doing here with Prince Alden, Mr Orion? Does High Prince Kael know about this?"

Orion furrowed his brows in response, sensing something amiss in the atmosphere. However, he dismissed the concern as long as it didn't hinder him from completing his task.

"Unfortunately, High Prince Kael was unavailable, so High King Eldric chose Prince Alden to handle his task until his return," Orion responded, shaking his head.

A wave of realization swept Princess Morgana's face as she briefly shifted her focus towards Prince Alden, who stood quietly at the side.

'He must have done something,' Princess Morgana thought.

She suspected Alden had schemed to keep their first brother away, seizing the opportunity to handle his task and get close to Orion.

Nonetheless, Princess Morgana couldn't understand why their father had allowed such a thing or what motive her fourth brother had, so she found herself at a loss for words.

Under Princess Morgana's judgmental gaze, Prince Alden felt his entire body tremble.

"Excuse me, Princess Morgana, but we have somewhere to be now. If we have time, we can catch up another time," Orion responded, shifting his attention towards Prince Alden and gesturing for him to lead the way to their next destination.

Prince Alden immediately relaxed upon hearing Orion's words. He nodded at Princess Morgana before turning around to lead the way.

Princess Morgana observed the scene speechlessly with her lips sealed. Soon, Glynrie and the two other girls joined her, equally stunned as they watched Prince Alden and Orion leave the shop.

Having overheard the conversation, they were at a loss for words, unsure what to say next.

'I need to see Father about this before Alden messes things up and ruins our only chance at building a good relationship with Mr Orion," Princess Morgana said, her fists clenched tightly in frustration as she shot a fierce glare.

Four-eared elves district

Patriarch Rylan's residence

"Remember the orders from the Princess of the Garden and the High King: gather all the information we can about the Four-eared elves and return to the Garden as quickly as possible," instructed a middle-aged Pixie dressed in sleek grey-black full-body armour decorated with various protruding ends.

[Author's Note: They were the ones that investigated Orion when he first entered the underground Prismerion Kingdom.]

The other three Pixies nodded solemnly. Since Queen Selene had informed the Princess of the Garden about the arrival of the Four-eared elves and their settlement in the Second Border City, they had been tasked with investigating them thoroughly to confirm their intentions.

Since they shared the same territory with the Four-eared elves, it was necessary to prevent any unforeseen consequences that might arise in the future.

Nevertheless, after scouring the Second Border City from district to district, they sprang into action to commence their investigation upon locating the district where the Four-eared elves were residing.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to deliver his final orders, his words immediately halted in his throat as he froze.

"What's wrong, captain?" one of the Pixies asked.

As their captain remained silent, the Pixies, sensing the tension in the air, turned their heads to see what had caught his attention.

Their eyes widened as they witnessed two large humanoid-

sized children, a boy and a girl, staring at them with wide, curious eyes.

"Retreat!" the middle-aged man yelled out his orders.

He spread his wings and took flight, watching as the boy suddenly reached out to close the window they had used to enter the room.

However, just as he made it through the window, it was immediately closed shut, trapping the other three Pixies inside.

The other Pixies immediately flew towards the next window. One had already escaped before the girl could shut it, trapping the other two following inside.

Realizing they could not leave the building since the door was closed, the remaining two Pixies briefly considered destroying the windows and making their way through. However, they immediately decided against it as they didn't want to leave any trace of their presence.

Nonetheless, the children began to chase after them, tumbling the small room upside down as they flew around, searching for another opening to escape through.

"HIDE!" yelled the middle-aged man as he flew out of view from the window.

Suddenly, their heightened senses picked up approaching footsteps heading towards the room, prompting them to search for a place to hide immediately.

It was at that moment that the door abruptly swung open.

Isadora immediately entered the room worriedly, her eyes scanning the messy scene with furniture and plates scattered on the ground.

"Austin, Eyva, what is going on here?" Isadora asked, her tone serious as she approached the two children.

After hearing the commotion from her room next door, she thought something terrible was happening, so she quickly put on her clothes and rushed down there.

However, upon seeing that the children were unharmed despite the chaotic state of the room, Isadora began to suspect that they might have caused the mess while playing around. If her suspicion was correct, she knew she would have to punish them, as their noise could disturb her father and the gods' chosen from their rest.

"Some tiny people snuck into our room, and we were trying to catch them. Some escaped, but the others are still hiding," Austin responded anxiously, noticing Isadora's solemn expression and hearing her stern tone.

Even though they had only arrived the day before, Isadora had treated them well, as promised. With plenty of people to play with, they didn't want to get into trouble that might lead to them being thrown out of the house.

lightsn?v?l Hearing Austin's response, Princess Isadora furrowed her brows in confusion and scanned the room again.

''If you want me to believe you, then explain what those tiny people look like—" Just as she was about to finish her sentence and demand further explanation, another figure rushed into the room.
