A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

"Just a male orc, passed by." Diana said indifferently.

Kunta frowned, not agreeing with Diana's words.

Recalling her mood at that time, Diana raised the left corner of her mouth and said with some self-mockery: "Actually... I was very scared at that time." After saying that, Diana laughed twice again.

Kunta did not respond, but lowered his eyes, his mind seemingly returning to the teacup.

Diana let out a breath as if to vent her frustration: "I thought at the time, I can't be left with nothing. At the very least, I have to keep my position as heir."

Kunta frowned in displeasure. She had no intention of competing with Diana for the position of heir. She had already chosen to withdraw.

Diana knew what Quinta was thinking without him saying anything, and said bluntly: "I know you don't want to. Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen to withdraw before the heir was confirmed."

Kunta looked up at Diana and remained silent.

"But I don't dare to gamble. I am not very talented. In order to have a little female orc to stabilize the hearts of the people in the family, I have given birth to seven little male orcs... All the beastmen I married were from Kurta's branch family. This is all I have left in my life so far." Diana shook her head and smiled at Kunta, tears flashing in her eyes: "When I heard that Lilith was not only a little female orc, but also had a companion stone, I really panicked."

Diana closed her eyes, pursed her lips and shook her head: "I am not making excuses for myself or seeking your understanding." She laughed again, "I laugh at myself for not being a good heir, a bad sister, and a bad mother."

At this point, Diana felt like asking Kunta a question.

Diana first told her plan at the time: "After learning about Lilith's news, I thought that I must have a little female beastman. She must also be excellent, so that my mother and I can keep our position as heirs."

Kunta sighed helplessly, "I am blonde, and so is my Lilith."

"I know, but your bloodline is not far away. As long as the ritual is performed, it is not impossible. Isn't it?" Diana said.

Kunta had never performed the bloodline ritual, so she actually didn't know the specific information about it.

Fortunately, this was not an important matter, so Diana changed the subject: "But talent is something that cannot be forced. I thought of Lilith's baptism day."

Kunta, who didn't know what happened back then, seemed to have understood. But before she could ask, Diana said it herself: "Lilith, who was born with a companion stone, is likely to be blessed by the Lord Beast God on her baptism day. Moreover, her biological father is from the main branch of Cavendish City."

Among the eight main cities, except for the God-forsaken land of Yancheng that has lost its order, the fact that its main branches are more likely to gain the favor of the Beast God is an unspoken consensus among the middle and upper class families on the Lilts continent.

Diana and Kunta, who had received family genealogy education in the Kurta family, naturally understood this.

But his own Lilith was clearly born earlier... Thinking of this, Kunta looked up at Diana in surprise.

Diana was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I used medicine. It made Rouxi born early."

Outside the door, Rouxi, who was carrying a plate of snacks, stopped and walked away from this place.

Even after hearing such news from his mother's mouth, Rouxi still looked very calm.

She held her neck straight and shoulders low, her arms held the food tray at the right angle, and the distance between her steps was in line with what she was taught at home.

"I used medicine to make Rouxi be born early"... "I used medicine"... "born early", it was just a short sentence consisting of a few words, but it kept circling in Rouxi's mind over and over again.

The two adult female orcs in the house, Diana and Quinta, seemed to be in their own thoughts and did not notice Rouxi's coming and going.

Diana laughed and sighed, sighed and laughed again: "I am not a qualified mother. Rouxi's body is not in good condition because he was born prematurely."

Kunta asked in a deep voice: "You wanted to..." Diana didn't wait for Kunta to finish his question and answered directly: "Yes, I wanted Rouxi and Lilith to hold a baptism day together."

Kunta remained silent, knowing that Diana had not finished speaking.

As expected, Diana then said, "Mother won't allow it."

Taking a deep breath, it was then that Diana realized that her mother had no intention of changing the heir just because of Lilith's outstanding talent.

"I'm too...", "It's me..." Diana opened her mouth twice in a row but didn't finish her words.

Was it because of the gossip that had been ringing in her ears for years? Was it because she met a male beastman like Mars when she first married? Was it because she felt that her own strength was mediocre and she couldn't be a good heir? Was it because...

No, if you want to find the "because" in life, there are so many places to look.

Diana had to admit that she was completely overwhelmed by emotions at that time.

That made her eyes only see a smaller area than the crack of the door. Her hands were obsessed with grabbing the things she saw through the crack of the door, and she forgot that there were more important things in the room behind the door.

Knowing that she was completely wrong, Diana still wanted to ask Kunta a question: "If I had asked you myself at the time instead of doing these things behind your back..."

In fact, it is not uncommon for two little orcs to hold a baptism day together on the continent of Lierz. The temple regularly holds collective baptism days for little orcs with difficult families. However, there are many different opinions on whether there is competition between little orcs with different talents on the baptism day, and there is no conclusion yet. After all, there are not many little orcs who can show their talents before the baptism day.

If two orcs with extraordinary talents were born at the same time in a familiar family, some families would choose to avoid suspicion, while others would choose to take advantage of the opportunity.

Diana raised her eyes and said, "Quinta, would you agree to hold a baptism day for Rouxi and Lilith together?"
