Village Head's Debauchery

"Aerialia?" Orion asked for confirmation.

She nodded in response.

"Are you in there with the Princess of the Garden?"

"I am," she responded.

Orion furrowed his brows once more. "What did you do?" he asked.

"Don't worry, I'm safe. She didn't do anything," the Princess of the Garden responded, a sigh escaping her lips.

Orion nodded in response, relieved that nothing terrible had happened.

Witnessing Orion's expression, Aerialia snorted in response. 

"I want to ask you a question, and I want you to answer truthfully," she said.

Orion remained silent momentarily, wondering what Aerialia wanted to ask him before he responded, "What is it?"

"Are you the father of her child?" Aerialia asked, bringing her hand backwards and laying it on her stomach.

"Yes," Orion responded, a deep frown suddenly appearing. "Don't do..." he added. 

Nonetheless, just as he was about to complete his sentence, Aerialia immediately interrupted him with another snort.

"Don't worry. Didn't I say before that I am not going to do anything to her? So naturally, I won't do anything to her baby either," Aerialia responded. 

"So, how did you do it? How were you able to get her pregnant?"

"I am very fertile," Orion replied.

"You are fertile?" she asked with a raised brow.

"Yes, fertile enough to get a tree nymph pregnant," Orion responded.

"Tree nymph?" Aerialia repeated. As she consumed Orion's words, her eyes immediately widened in surprise. 

"You… You impregnated a tree nymph," she said, pointing at Orion as she looked at him in disbelief. 

She knew who the tree nymphs were and the other nymphs since they were one of the most important races during the 'Great War' because of their unique race ability. Although it was sad what had happened to them afterwards, especially their creator, since they had failed to obtain a stellar gate to cross into the new world, she understood the biology of the tree nymphs and knew that they couldn't give birth. 

So, hearing from Orion that he had impregnated one was just as unbelievable as impregnating a goddess.

Orion nodded in response to her question.

Aerialia pondered deeply within her mind as she stared at Orion. After a while, she said, "I am willing to compromise and give you another choice."

Orion waited for her to finish speaking.

"From now on, I want you to keep getting her pregnant."

"..."

"If you do this, then I will let her live and will not interfere in whatever she does," Aerialia said.

Upon hearing her words, Orion's mind raced for a few seconds before it stopped as he finally made his decision.

"And what about the secrets of the 'Divine Mysteries', the 'Great War', and the 'transformation into a true god'?" Orion said.

"If she can give birth to at least ten children, then I will tell you everything you need to know."

"Ten? But that will take a long time," Orion responded with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, ten. I have never heard of a goddess becoming pregnant unless their 'Divine Mysteries' are related to fertility. However, even then, certain things were within their control. As such, before saying anything, I would first like to determine how long it would take for her to conceive and if she would really conceive. I don't think that should be a problem, right?"

Orion pondered deeply about why Aerialia had made such a strange request; however, as he thought about it and remembered her current situation, he immediately understood that Aerialia might have made such a request because, even though the Princess of the Garden is a failed replica of herself, she is still in some way her. 

Therefore, her children should also be Aerialia's own, and this might be the only way for her to reclaim the children that White Flame had killed.

If that were the case, why she was behaving like this and making such a proposal made sense. 

However, that didn't mean he would straightforwardly accept her proposal, especially after all the drama that had just unfolded.

So...

"I understand what you're trying to say. However, since it will be like this, I have a request," Orion said.

"What request?"

"Firstly, I would like to know if you can leave this body and occupy it at will."

She nodded in response, "Yes, I can leave this body and occupy it at will," she said. After she responded, she saw the look in Orion's eyes, as though asking her to prove it.

Aerialia exhaled deeply and removed herself from the Princess of the Garden's body.

With Orion's gaze fixed, he watched as her wings stretched out from her back like a pair of dazzling, translucent white light. In the blink of an eye, she had detached herself from the Princess of the Garden's body, like a radiant light separating from its source. 

After Aerialia returned to her previous form, she hovered in the air, staring down at the two of them.

The Princess of the Garden immediately collapsed on top of Orion's chest.

Orion held her tightly, "Are you okay?" he asked hurriedly, wanting to ensure she was alright.

"Haah… Yes, I'm fine," The Princess of the Garden responded as she nodded.

Orion breathed out in relief as he looked up and focused his gaze on Aerialia.

"Does that answer your question?" Aerialia asked.

Orion nodded.

"So, what is your request?"

"The Princess of the Garden's pregnancy was unplanned, so we haven't planned how many children she would give birth to in the future. However, since we are willing to compromise, I will only agree to your request if you share the burden with her," Orion responded.

Aerialia narrowed her eyes at Orion, furrowing her brows in confusion. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"I'm suggesting that if you want her to give birth to at least ten children, then you have to be involved not only during peneration but also during childbirth, which means that…," Orion said, but before he could finish his sentence, Aerialia immediately interrupted him.

"Are you asking me to participate not only in the act of peneration but also in the process of childbirth?" Aerialia asked, the fierceness in her eyes increasing by the second as she narrowed her eyes at Orion.

"Yes," Orion responded with a nod.

"Never!" Aerialia declared. "How dare you ask this goddess to participate in childbirth and the collection of your seed?" Aerialia asked.
