"Bang!"

The two attacks collided, with a subtle sense of resistance between them.

There was already a hint of admiration in Orion's eyes. This girl, at such a young age, could resist a blow with 60% of his strength. If she was given some time, she would be in great danger.

So what if the old Elf King had many children? It’s because he’s too old and his eyes are blurry that he bet on the wrong horse!

"boom!"

Just when Orion thought that the two forces would only last for a short while and his attack would teach Lumina a simple lesson, he saw that the original five arrows suddenly split into five, and a total of twenty-five arrows were formed with the same force!

"Hmm? This..."

Orion thought he was seeing things and blinked, but the next second...

"Bang!"

Lumina's attack directly broke through the shackles of his strength, and the twenty-five arrows suddenly came towards him!

Orion knew he couldn't be careless, so he stood up instantly, raised his hands, and used all his strength to destroy those attacks!

"Bang!"

After all the arrows were shot down, Orion felt relieved. The rare admiration he had shown Lumina as a junior was suddenly mixed with a hint of fear.

Looking at it this way, he would rather the stupid Hogami be the Elf King.

When Lumina saw Orion looking her in the eye for the first time since she married into a distant family, she knew that her all-out move had paid off.

She walked forward and bowed to Orion in a dignified manner.

"Princess Lumina of the Elf clan, greetings to you."

"Hahaha, I've seen you once before, but that time you hid far away at the palace gate and didn't come in."

Orion naturally heard the deep meaning behind her calling herself the elven princess, not his future daughter-in-law. He suppressed the emotions on his face and continued to sit down with an unfathomable look, as if he had forgotten that he had just attacked Lumina first.

He just used the elders' usual rhetoric skills to get close to them.

"It doesn't matter whether we meet or not. There will be more opportunities to meet in the future."

But Lumina knew that he was most likely stalling for time while she was mediating with him and sending people to search for Leonard, so she got straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, you are seeking an elf marriage, and with a princess, so you can use the healing power of the elven royal bloodline to exorcise Prince Reynard's inner demons and old wounds. Now Hogami has been abducted by you. Even if you kill me and release him, there will still be a grudge between him, you, and the dragons. If he becomes the elven king in the future, even if he doesn't start a war, I'm afraid he won't be on good terms with you. But if the dragons lend me a hand now, I can not only save Reynard and eradicate all his ailments, but also ensure that our friendship will last as long as I live."

"An heir who hates the dragon clan, or an heir you personally supported to the throne, which one do you think is more worthwhile?"

Lumina stood before the prince, and even when she was looking up at the high-ranking Orion, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she already had the demeanor and bearing of a person in power.

Seeing this, Orion did not directly give a choice, but asked in return.

"What about the Elf King? Will he tolerate your reckless behavior and collusion with foreigners to usurp the throne?"

Lumina raised her lips slightly, her eyes cold, "Then who do you think allowed Hogami, the heir of the elves, to follow me all the way to the Dragon Clan?"

Her father, the king, doesn't care about offspring or family affection, but cares about the interests of the elves!

Didn't he just want to see who would fight to the end between Hogami and her, and who was most qualified to sit in that position?

"..." These words hit Orion's point. Indeed, the heir of a clan is extremely important. They will not abandon the clan unless they are going out to fight the enemy. Besides, the Elf King is very smart and he would not be unaware of Lumina's little trick.

Besides, what he cared about most was Reynard's health. He wasn't 100% sure he could heal him, even with the blood of the elven royal family...

"Can you really save my son?"

"I'm already here. If I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I dare to come here?"

Lumina was extremely calm and composed, and seemed to have everything planned out for her.

wrong!

"How do you know about my son's situation?"

Seeing this, Orion took a deep breath, his expression suddenly became serious, and murderous intent gradually appeared in his eyes.

You know, Leonard's situation must never be leaked to outsiders. No one will know except him and a close confidant who takes care of him!

So the masked man who married Lumina that day was just a stand-in to hide his identity on weekdays, and he only explained to the outside world that he had a scar on his face.

Lumina sensed the oppressive and murderous aura emanating from the entire hall and immediately spoke out, "I can't tell you this. I can only promise not to tell anyone else. If you kill me now, no one in this world will be able to fully cure Leonard. If that person finds out, the dragon clan will also be implicated!"

The last sentence made Orion, who had been calm and reserved, suddenly change his expression. He looked surprised and shocked, almost to the point of turning pale at the mention of it.

But after calming down, he realized that no one could tell Lumina this question, so maybe he could take a gamble!

"What do you need from me?"

Lumina raised her eyes coldly, "You don't have to do anything. I will kill Hogami myself!"

"But I need you to be here with me. Once I kill him, I can immediately treat Leonard."

These words made Orion's expression slightly change. He didn't expect her to be so cruel! She actually wanted to kill Hogami directly and let him watch from the side. Isn't this dragging him down with her?

Although Orion was eager to save his son, he would not be foolish enough to involve the dragon clan in the internal fighting of the elves, at least not openly.

"No, I can only hand Hogami over to you. As for your personal grudges, I will never get involved."

"......Oh well."

Lumina seemed to know that he would not agree. Her emerald green pupils drooped slightly, and she frowned slightly. After pretending to hesitate, she finally agreed to him.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the water dungeon."

Lumina followed behind Orion, her expressionless and cold face lowered, her lips slightly raised and her pupils dimmed, a glimmer of calculation flashed across her eyes. She wanted to sit back and wait for an advantage, but there was no such good thing.

Orion, who was walking in front, felt a chill on his back. He turned around to look at the cruel girl, and Lumina smiled obediently.

"What's wrong?"

Damn it, why is this girl's smile so creepy?

"Ahem, stop talking."

Orion didn't want to lose face in front of the younger generation, so he coughed lightly and walked ahead pretending to be calm and serious. Fortunately, the one she married was not the real Reynard, and the oath of the dragon clan was not valid, otherwise the whole dragon clan would be killed by her in the future.

Orion didn't know that even if Lumina didn't marry Reynard, the dragon clan would still be fooled by her in the future and would happily stick to her to be reused.
