Chapter 598: What belongs to her, she must fight for
"The Giant Tribe has a future!"
"WE have a future!"
"I look forward to our next generation, and even the one after that!"
Behind them, Grulbane, Ursa, Slagor, and others who were off-duty heard this good news and were also deeply moved.
When a group, a faction, has successors who can carry on everyone's faith and will, being a member of this group truly brings a special kind of joy.
...
One day later, Titanion Realm, Stoneheart City.
An incomparably terrifying pressure suddenly appeared over Stoneheart City, sweeping across everything.
Fortunately, this pressure wasn't deliberately targeting anyone; the entity behind it was merely announcing its status and power.
As the pressure receded, a majestic voice echoed throughout Stoneheart City, resounding across the entire giant territory.
"Giant Prince Pallas is born! The Stoneheart Horde celebrates for three days! All tribesmen may go to the castle to receive a gift and celebrate the Prince!!"
This was Orion's voice!
It was also Orion informing everyone of Pallas's status as the legitimate Prince.
Mysterious Tavern, third floor. Delilah, who was reading various intelligence reports, jolted and stood up from her seat.
The gauze robe draped over her slipped off, but Delilah didn't notice at all.
"Pallas is born!"
"The Giant Prince!"
"Orion and Lilith are back!"
Delilah was thrilled, her breathing even quickening.
A moment later, Delilah slowly sat back down in her seat, letting out a long breath.
The Succubus race, the elders of the Succubus race, even she, the Queen of the Succubus race, had waited too long for this day.
From this moment on, the relationship between the Succubus tribe and the Giant tribe entered a new depth.
There would be no more barriers between the two races.
"Relay orders to all succubus elders, have them prepare a lavish gift for Pallas!"
Delilah's calm voice sounded. The shadow behind the curtain flickered and departed to relay the message.
On the second floor of the Mysterious Tavern, Knight Godfrey, a regular patron here, naturally also heard Orion's transmission.
"Pallas... Giant Prince... The Stoneheart Horde grows ever stronger!"
Stoneheart City, in every corner of the inner and outer city, the birth of the Giant Prince sparked waves of discussion and clamor.
Among them, Dirtclaw was certainly not absent.
"Praise the Giant King!"
"Praise Lilith!"
"Praise His Highness the Prince!"
"And, praise my Mistress!"
"If the great Mistress could also bear My Master a Giant Prince, Dirtclaw would have even better days!"
Dirtclaw, having just rotated back to Stoneheart City, was in the midst of having sex with a female gnoll when he heard this joyous news, causing him to exclaim that this trip back was worth it.
"Go call Anubis back for me!"
"Later, I'll take Anubis to congratulate His Highness the Prince!"
"What gift should I give... I need to think carefully..."
Dirtclaw pushed the female gnoll beneath him away, telling her to fetch his most talented youngling.
In Stoneheart City, Dirtclaw had two very talented younglings possessing the Hellhound bloodline.
Dirtclaw was full of schemes; back then, he had carried the two younglings to ask Orion for names.
Orion didn't hesitate, directly naming Dirtclaw's two offspring Anubis and Wepwawet.
These were names of gods!
"Our Stoneheart Horde's Prince is born?"
"That must be an incomparably outstanding bloodline!"
"No matter what, today I must have a drink!"
"For the Pandaren! For the Stoneheart Horde!"
Also staying in Stoneheart City was the Pandaren, Taran.
Taran had used battle achievements to exchange for a large amount of Blackstone coins within the Horde. He had purchased a large property here, preparing it as a future southern base for the Pandaren tribe.
The Horde had birthed a prince, and Taran was very happy. He felt he ought to celebrate with a drink.
So, he began moving towards the direction of the Mysterious Tavern.
Similar scenes played out in many corners.
As members of the Stoneheart Horde, especially the Giant tribe, the appearance of the prince not only consolidated the Giant tribe's status within the Stoneheart Horde but also solidified their own positions within the Horde.
Therefore, today, Stoneheart City was destined to be unquiet, destined to be lively.
And the news of Giant Prince Pallas's birth also spread rapidly towards the blood elves, the human kingdom, the dwarves, and the dragons.
Human Kingdom, Study.
King Harold handed the intelligence he had just received to Prince Theodore, then stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the birds and griffins flying in the air, falling into silence.
"This can't be fake, right?"
Prince Theodore found it somewhat unbelievable. His nephew Kronos had only been born not long ago, and the Stoneheart Horde had already produced a Giant Prince.
Prince Theodore had reason to suspect that this was the Stoneheart Horde internally releasing false information, a smokescreen.
Especially considering the Giant tribe and the Succubus race's desire for heirs, this could possibly be just a rumor.
"It's impossible that it's fake!"
"Besides, we received news earlier that Orion's wife was pregnant."
"Calculating the time, it fits!"
King Harold's voice was calm. They had anticipated such an event long ago.
However, what King Harold hadn't anticipated was that Giant King Orion had established Giant Prince Pallas's status so early on.
Meaning, the difficulty for his nephew Kronos to control the Stoneheart Horde in the future had further increased.
"Actually, this is also quite normal. If I were that Giant King, I would also choose to do this."
"After all, stability is what every kingdom seeks."
Prince Theodore looked at King Harold's back, wanting to speak but hesitating, unsure if he should voice certain words.
"You personally make a trip to Rose Manor and tell Ava this news."
"Your aunt was spoiled by your grandfather and me since she was young; she hasn't experienced much hardship."
Although King Harold had his back to Prince Theodore, it seemed he had seen through Theodore's thoughts.
King Harold sighed and slowly said.
"Since this happened to her, as the empire's princess, she should face it."
"What belongs to her, she must fight for."
Speaking up to this point, King Harold paused for a moment, seemingly feeling his words were too blunt, too cruel.
"Even if not for herself, she must also consider Kronos."
"You can tell her these words exactly as I said them."
"Does she want Kronos to be like her, holed up in Rose Manor for life?"
On this last sentence, King Harold's tone became slightly heavy, tinged with frustration at her lack of potential.
If he were Ava, when Orion entered the Human Kingdom last time, he would have seized the opportunity to state conditions, directly securing a position within the Stoneheart Horde.
Even if unable to claim the top spot, she should have secured her own status in a legitimate position.
Unfortunately, Princess Ava lacked his excellent strategic perspective.
"Father, won't this be..."
Too much?
Or too cruel?
King Harold didn't speak. After a long pause, he finally softened his tone and said lightly.
"How to say it... you handle it based on the situation!"
Now, it was Prince Theodore's turn to hesitate.
