"You are better than this, Orion. If you turn your back on your household, you'll lose more than your daughter, you'll lose yourself. And you would regret it your whole life." Salaark shook her head.
"Just like I'd regret not trying everything I can to save my Little Flower. I would give my life for her without a second thought. A father shouldn't survive her daughter!" Orion said in outrage.
"Your words haven't fallen on deaf ears." Salaark nodded. "I refuse your offer. I refuse your loyalty until it is given freely. As a Guardian and the Overlord, I can't help you. As a mother, however, I can bend the rules a little."
"What do you mean?" Orion was dumbfounded.
"When I said that your words haven't fallen on deaf ears, I wasn't referring to mine." Salaark pointed behind him where she had forcefully Warped Tessa and Fyrwal.
"Well said, kid. Juria would be proud of you." Tessa the Titania wrapped her arms around Orion's neck, her eyes tearing up.
