Chapter 691: Are you willing to become one of my harem?

Lysinthia recounted everything she knew.

Although no major incidents had occurred, the increasingly fierce waves of Merfolk invasions were, in themselves, the strangest occurrence.

Compared to last year, the intensity of the Merfolk invasions had significantly increased.

Orion nodded, the doubt in his eyes dissipating, only to be quickly replaced by new questions.

“That mermaid has been constantly asking about your whereabouts.”

Lysinthia looked at Orion, at the face she longed for day and night, and after a moment’s thought, described Marina’s recent behavior.

“I’ll go see her!”

Orion turned and strode towards the castle in the city center.

Lysinthia hesitated for a moment, then slowly followed.

However, after entering the castle, Lysinthia did not follow Orion to the newly constructed pool.

Splash! Splash!

In the pool, a blue fishtail rhythmically slapped the water’s surface, creating one splash after another.

Marina’s heart, much like this water, longed for calm but couldn’t help but stir with ripples.

“I hear you’ve been looking for me?”

Orion’s voice suddenly sounded in the air.

The fishtail slapping the water stilled, the splashing sound ceased, and the water’s surface gradually calmed.

“I actually heard his voice… Am I imagining things?!”

Marina’s voice was actually very pleasant, gentle and melodious.

“Foolish mermaid!”

The familiar voice sounded again, making Marina realize it wasn’t her imagination.

Marina turned and looked up.

Appearing before her eyes was the strong giant she had longed to see again.

“Respected Giant King, you’ve come!”

Orion looked down at the mermaid. From his angle, he had a clear view of her full breasts.

Orion was silent for two seconds, then he reached out, unfastened his cloak, removed his leather armor, revealing a body of knotted muscles, and walked into the pool.

“Give me a back rub!”

Orion’s tone was flat, neither intimate nor distant.

Just like those nights in the dragon territory of Whitecliff, he had treated Marina as a sex slave sent by the white dragon Frostsire for him to vent his desires.

Therefore, he hadn’t been gentle at the time; he was merely venting his sexual desire.

Marina was silent, hesitating, struggling internally.

Orion paid Marina no mind, cupping water in his hands and splashing it onto his face and chest.

A moment later, a splashing sound came from behind Orion, water bursting and ripples spreading out.

A pair of small hands slowly rested on Orion’s shoulders, a faint fluctuation of water elements around them.

Two flattened orbs of water appeared in Marina’s hands, and she pressed them onto Orion’s shoulders.

The water orbs, incredibly soft against his skin, slowly spread along Orion’s muscles, conforming to his shoulders with unparalleled malleability.

Then, the water orbs began to pulsate rhythmically, applying a suitable pressure, continuously massaging Orion’s shoulders.

It was an extremely soothing sensation!

Orion enjoyed it greatly, occasionally letting out a soft hum.

Perhaps soothed and his fatigue dispelled, Orion turned, pulled the blushing Marina into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

Orion’s cock was already erect. He once again inserted it into Marina’s vagina, but this time, his movements were much gentler than before.

Two hours later, Orion, carrying Marina, left the pool and entered a nearby room.

“Why were you looking for me?”

Orion leaned against the headboard, his right arm around Marina, and asked.

At this moment, Marina’s fishtail had vanished, replaced by a pair of captivating long legs. Her body had changed back when Orion made love to her.

Marina buried her head in Orion’s arm, unwilling to answer the question.

“Are you from the Tidefang Clan?”

Marina didn’t speak, and Orion didn’t press, changing the question.

“Mm-hmm.”

“Is your identity that of a mermaid princess?”

“Mm-hmm.”

Two soft hums of affirmation let Orion understand that the mermaid princess before him was willing to cooperate, willing to tell him some things.

Orion tightened his arm, pulling Marina towards him, and once again inserted his cock into Marina’s vagina.

Women, generally, are most likely to open up when they are happiest and during orgasm.

Soon, Marina reached orgasm. But Orion still didn’t stop; he continued to thrust rapidly.

One minute, two minutes… Orion brought Marina thirty minutes of continuous orgasms. Only when Marina was about to lose consciousness did Orion stop.

“Are you willing to become one of my harem?”

“Joining my harem means becoming my woman.”

Orion looked at the dazed Marina and extended his invitation.

This decision wasn’t something Orion blurted out on impulse, nor was it made with his cock.

The Stoneheart Horde wanted to open up sea routes and clear a path to Serpent Isle; Marina, before him, was an opportunity.

In this sea region adjacent to Lysinthia City, it was best to avoid war if possible.

Because war would make it utterly impossible for this planned harbor city of Orion’s to develop.

All these reasons combined led Orion to choose a political marriage.

Marina was a princess of the Tidefang Clan; her identity and status were sufficient. Orion didn’t dislike her, and she seemed to be deeply in love with Orion.

Therefore, Orion spoke up, inviting Marina to become one of his harem.

It was a polite invitation, and also a sincere probing.

If Marina refused, Orion would also force Marina into his harem to become his woman.

The moment Marina admitted she was a mermaid princess of the Tidefang Clan, her fate had already been decided by Orion.

“Mm-hmm.”

Another soft hum of affirmation; Marina agreed.

Just as Orion was about to say more, Marina proactively raised her voice and spoke.

“But I cannot stay here. I haven’t completed my coming-of-age ceremony, nor have I received the Sea God’s blessing.”

“I cannot leave the seawater for long periods; my transformed state is not yet stable.”

Orion fell silent. Hearing the secrets of the mermaid race for the first time made him curious, yet also hesitant.

This mermaid who had agreed to him but couldn’t temporarily join his harem left Orion at a loss for words for a moment.

“I’m sorry, I’ve disappointed you!”

Marina’s voice was low; she felt somewhat self-reproachful.

“I’ll wait for you!”

Orion tightened his arms, holding Marina close.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Marina, Sixth Princess of the Tidefang Clan. And you?”

“My full name is Orion Stoneheart, King of Giants.”

“…”

This relationship couldn’t exactly be called mutual love.

Orion and Marina, for various reasons, were both heading towards each other.

The former for benefits, for vast territory; the latter for fidelity, for her reputation, and also for status.

After all, Orion was the lord of a horde. Besides his powerful cock, he also possessed peak Legendary level strength—all these were things that attracted Marina.
