A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Lilith and Seth, covered in sweat, were helped out of the city lord's study.

Lilith was unsure about facing the even more unfamiliar old city lord. The previous confrontation with the city lord Ultra had consumed too much of her mental and physical energy.

According to her original idea, she would not leave so soon. Now that she could leave earlier than originally planned, Lilith was not happy.

Although she knew that she had no desire for the position of Lord of Lila City, how would the old Lord of Lila City view her thoughts?

...After thinking it over, I can only fight against the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth.

Lilith no longer speculated on the old city lord's thoughts, but just followed him quietly.

……

"Lilith?"

Lilith, who had just sat down, suddenly looked up.

The old city lord had the same silver-gray hair as Seth, and she meticulously tied it all behind her head. Seeing Lilith staring at her with big eyes like a frightened deer, the old city lord smiled lightly with a serious face: "I have heard of you, Kurta's granddaughter. You are born with a companion stone."

"My Lord City Lord, hello." Lilith greeted the old city lord in a formal manner, looking a little dull.

The old city lord had some smile in his eyes: "What an honest little orc."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Mayor." Lilith tried her best not to make any mistakes or stand out, and to wait safely until Grandma Kurta came to pick her up.

"I heard that your family is going to Cavendish City?" The old city lord picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Lord Mayor." Lilith answered and looked up to see the old Lord Mayor holding his teacup without saying anything. Lilith added uncertainly, "In... two days."

The old city lord nodded with satisfaction and took another sip of tea.

Lilith also kept her mouth shut and said no more, quietly waiting for the old city lord to ask questions.

The old city lord put the teacup on the small table on the left, and played with the waist chain made of twisted gold threads with one hand: "Kurta has already told me about your matter. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

It must be said that Lilith felt relieved after hearing this. With the old city lord's assurance, not only will there not be any major problems in the future, but the Ultra City Lord will probably not cause trouble to her again under such circumstances.

But... Lilith became even more nervous.

If she has no problem, then what about Seth? After all, Seth is the twenty-fifth son of the Lord of Ultra City.

Lilith's eyes couldn't help but turn to Seth beside her.

Seth knelt there motionless, like a stone statue, with his head down, and beads of sweat still dripping from the silver-gray hair scattered on his forehead.

The wheat-colored skin, moistened by sweat, is full of strength and beauty.

The old city lord followed Lilith's gaze and seemed to notice his own grandson in the room for the first time.

The teacher said that her son Ottla had too many problems, but they were useless. He gave her a series of grandsons before she finally had a granddaughter. Her patience was almost exhausted.

The old city lord didn't care about his grandsons who couldn't inherit his position. So, even though he knew that the little male orc named Seth was the culprit who caused the panic in the city lord's mansion, he didn't feel anything.

I just want to get rid of him quickly.

Yes, "send away", if the departure of this little guy can make Otla less naive, it will be a good thing.

So, she smiled at Lilith and said, "I'll give it to you, okay?"

"Huh?" Lilith was puzzled.

The old city lord smiled and nodded at Seth.

Lilith was frightened, her mind like a wound-up spring, constantly turning between Seth and the old city lord.

“No, no, no, no…” Lilith refused subconsciously. Seth is an orc and has his own consciousness.

The old city lord sat back down in disappointment: "That's really annoying... Useless Ultra, you gave birth to too many children."

In the old city lord's mouth, the high and mighty city lord Ottra was as casual as a breeding pig she raised.

Lilith was in a trance for a moment. Then she heard the old city lord say, "Since you don't want it, where should we send this little guy? What's the best place to go?"

"Send?" Lilith stared at the old city lord blankly.

"Yes. Send it off." The old city lord said naturally.

"Why?" Lilith thought this was ridiculous.

"Aren't all male orcs like this?" the old city lord asked Lilith.

No. Lilith subconsciously wanted to refute that her mother didn't treat her eldest brother Tepper, the second brother Vasilio, the third brother Papas, and the fourth brother Antonio in the same way. Her mother treated her brothers the same way as she treated herself. Her mother said that she was her baby, and so were her brothers.

Lilith originally thought that all the orcs in the Lilts continent were like this. But the attitude of the old city lord reminded Lilith of her parents who favored sons over daughters in her previous life. After she lost her love and hate, Lilith was able to break away from it and see the most basic truth.

Loving your son is something that not everyone can do.

The way the old city lord treated Seth was essentially the way his parents treated him in his previous life.

Perhaps because of her gender, origin, talent, etc., the old city lord was willing to treat her with more courtesy. But her indifference to Seth also made Lilith feel cold in her heart. Wasn't Seth also born of a female beastman?

She murmured, "Can Seth choose for himself?"

Allow Seth the freedom to choose to stay or leave.

Seth, like a stone sculpture, sat kneeling there, his eyelids trembling as if he were injected with vitality.

"Haha." The old city lord laughed, "That's very interesting." She agreed to Lilith, "Okay."

She said to Seth, "Little one, who do you choose to be sent to?"

A basin of cold water was poured on Lilith's head.

"Lilith, I can be with you..."

"cough!"

Before Seth could finish his words, the old city lord lowered his eyes, whether intentionally or unintentionally? He coughed softly...

After a few breaths of silence,

“…Lilith, can you take me away?” Seth forced himself to smile.

Lilith kept shaking her head sadly, and she shouted in her heart: Don't do this, Seth.

Don’t do this...your eyes are crying, so please don’t force yourself to smile.

"It seems that she doesn't want you." The old city lord said with interest, "How about I give you to my good friend in Wusu City?"

Big tears flew out of Lilith's eyes.

"Don't be like that!" The old city lord's face changed. "You are a female orc, and you are crying for a mere male orc. How can you look like that?!"

She stared at Lilith sternly: "Kurta really didn't teach you well."

Lilith slumped back onto the carpet: "I...I."

The unhappiness in the old city lord's eyes was accumulating.

Lilith lowered her head, took a deep breath, and adjusted her state. She raised her head again and said to the old city lord, "I apologize to the city lord for my misbehavior just now." Lilith placed her right hand on her chest and saluted the old city lord. She tried her best to compress her mental power and offered a mental power ball.

A thumb-sized ball of spiritual power floated in the air and rotated between the old city lord and Lilith.

Facing the old city lord's scrutinizing gaze, Lilith did not avoid it. She spoke under pressure: "I hope the city lord can agree to let Seth and I leave the city lord's mansion together." Lilith saluted again.

Leave? The old city lord repeated these two words in his mind, pondering, but still said, "Will you provide him with food and clothing, and not be mean or abusive?"

After a long silence, Lilith replied, "I will treat him well."

This was the first time the old city lord looked Seth in the eye: "From now on, it's up to you."

After saying that, the old city lord stood up and did not take the spiritual power ball that Lilith had offered. Before leaving, she left a message to Lilith: "If you are only weak, you will not get what the female beastman has today."

Lilith didn't understand at this time.
