Orion's Intervention (3)

"So, since it seems like none of you are capable of protecting us, why don't you leave this to me? Don't worry; I'll take care of it," Orion said with a confident smile. 

Princess Crystalia and Flintor turned their attention to him after assessing Queen Selene's condition, while Queen Selene herself looked at him with wide eyes. 

"Wh-what are you talking about?" Queen Selene asked seriously before gripping her daughter's arm. "Quick, Crystalia, run away with him," she urged, uneasiness creeping over her face. 

Then, she turned to Flintor and continued, "Quick, Flintor, do whatever you can to protect my daughter as she flees. No matter what happens, protect her, even if it costs you your life." Queen Selene's lips trembled as she finished speaking.

"I understand, Your Highness," Flintor replied with a nod, showing his determination.
