During their hour of rest, Princess Crystalia had managed to sneak out of the room, leaving Orion with a stink eye mixed with the most intense and conflicting glare he had ever received from any woman in his life.

Nevertheless, Orion had also taken the opportunity to eat some greenish pear fruits that Elysia had brought with her.

He had to admit they were one of the most delicious things he had ever tasted, akin to biting into an apple, only sweeter, though he couldn't quite fathom how they could be sweeter, but they were.

Afterwards, he decided to take a moment to meditate and calm down the raging Vylkr energy within him. While Orion had never meditated before, he found it surprisingly easy to lose track of time as he slowly gained control over the Vylkr energy coursing through every fibre of his body.

"Mmmhhh!"

Orion's eyes snapped open the moment he heard Elysia's voice, sensing that she was about to wake up.

"What happened?" Elysia said as she rubbed her eyes, attempting to sit upright but falling back to the bed as if she'd experienced a seizure.

"Aaah! I remember," Elysia suddenly voiced out with a hint of discomfort in her voice. She immediately snapped her head towards him, anger in her voice and gritting her teeth as she accused, "You! You did this... You are responsible for this Do you think that you can impale any woman that you want with your thick penis just like that!?" she asked.

Orion, on the other hand, merely raised an eyebrow at her ramblings. With an amused smile, he replied, "Are you talking to me?"

"You!" Elysia's eyebrows twitched at Orion's words, and as she looked at his amused smile, her irritation only grew. She began to force herself to sit upright, which could almost be considered a miracle, thanks to her Gemheart clan bloodline.

Her body was reinforced to an absurd level of power, capable of withstanding bone-shattering punches. If it were any other woman that Orion had impaled like that, she feared they wouldn't feel their legs for hours.

"I will report this to the queen," she expressed, pointing an accusatory finger at him, ".....and make sure that you regret every thrust you took."

"And then what?" Orion said as he uncrossed his legs and adjusted his position, eventually lying down flat on the bed beside Elysia.

Listening to his words, Elysia furrowed her brows at the man in front of her. What kind of response was that? Is he stupid? She couldn't help but ask herself.

After all, her words should have been enough to make him beg for forgiveness, yet he seemed disinterested and amused by her threats.

Calming herself, Elysia locked her gaze with the smiling Orion and said, "You are a foreigner from an entirely different race who defiled the queen's personal maid. Even if you decide to lie and deny the blame, do you think the queen would believe your words over mine?"

Orion released a deep sigh at her words and let out another one when he saw her smirk. If she thought he was deeply contemplating her words, she was mistaken.

Raising his head back up, he mirrored her smile and began to speak, "So, after you tell her all that, are you also going to explain how I pinned you down and penetrated you?" Orion was no fool. From the moment he felt the strength she had used to overpower him, a warrior in training, and render him helpless, he knew Elysia was no ordinary person.

Especially since he had seen her personally attending to the queen herself, and now, after confirming it from her own mouth, how was such a revelation going to prove that he had overpowered her despite her strength?

Seeing her smirk drop into a frown, Orion maintained his own smile, sensing that she was likely considering the consequences of word getting out that the Queen's personal maid had been forcefully taken by a man.

Although he hated to admit it, how many people would take seriously the claim of a bodybuilder who said he was pinned down and defiled by a frail young woman who was probably several times weaker than he was?

Elysia's frown deepened as she likely began to realize that this was the opposite kind of situation from what she had initially thought.

"Do you understand now?" Orion said, raising both of his brows as his smile widened even more. He turned around and lay down flat on his stomach, then traced his fingers along her exposed thighs. "Well, if you do, how about we reintroduce ourselves and start fresh, considering how close we've become to the extent that you let me reshape your Prismerian hole?"

The sound of Elysia gritting her teeth in anger echoed in the air, growing louder with each passing moment. "I promise to make your life smoother during your stay in the palace. But if you persist with such an attitude," she said, her voice laced with a threatening tone, "then I promise to make it more than just torment."

Elysia had already realized that her queen might not take her words seriously since she was on a mission to extract more information from him.

It would be a bad idea to explain how the young man had pinned her down, as it would make it seem like she was the one in control. Although she had initiated it in the beginning, such explanations would be pointless. If the Queen wanted to extract information from him that way, she would have sent him to the dungeon, which was not the case currently.

Sighing out defeatedly, Elysia fixed her fierce, angry eyes on Orion and said, "As I introduced before, my name is Elysia, and I am the queen's personal servant and the head maid of the palace."

Holding her hand and bringing it close to his lips, Orion gave the back of her hand a gentle peck before he said, "Now that we have reintroduced ourselves to each other, how about we start on a good note and forget that experience ever happened."
