Orion didn't know what was wrong with Nina, so he quietly asked, "Mom, are you not feeling well?"

Nina pinched his little cheek and smiled. "Orion, you're so thoughtful, always worrying about Mom. But I'm fine, don't worry. What about you, Orion? Do you want to go home now or stay and watch the rest of the competition?"

He glanced toward the field and, after a moment of silence, whispered, "I think I'll stay and watch the rest. The teacher said winning isn't the most important thing. It's about participating. Mom, aren't you supposed to make that royal feast later? I can help you." Nina was overjoyed and planted a big kiss on his cheek. "That would be wonderful! I'll be counting on you, my little helper, Orion."

"Got it! I promise I'll be the best helper ever," Orion declared, raising his hand as if making a solemn vow. He had already forgotten the pain in his leg.

With the medicine kicking in, the pain was gradually fading, and Orion had returned to his usual lively self, shaking off the earlier scare.
