Beneath the Garden's Secrets

After sharing a heartwarming hug for a minute, a throat-clearing voice interrupted them. Orion and Saria exchanged mischievous smiles, aware that they had taken enough time for themselves. They reluctantly broke the hug, withdrawing their arms from each other.

Orion turned to the Princess of the Garden. "Could you excuse us for a moment so we can speak privately?" he requested.

The Princess of the Garden nodded in understanding. "Of course, take all the time you need to talk. Just remember to find me when you're finished," she said.

"I will," Orion replied, observing as the Princess of the Garden nodded in understanding. 

He then turned to Madam Seraphina, who also indicated her understanding. "I'll be waiting at the garden's entrance for you, so you can come to meet me there once you're finished. We can leave together," she said, anticipating his intention.

Orion acknowledged her with a nod before they both departed. He then refocused on Saria.
