A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

There is still one day left before leaving Rila.

"Mother..." Lilith poked her head out from the door.

Kunta, who was sitting on the bed in the tea room, turned around and said, "Lilith, come in."

Lilith walked up to Kunta with her head down.

Kunta reached his hands from the front to the back and ruffled her curly hair twice: "What's wrong?"

Lilith's fingers tangled unconsciously, looking at the ground: "Mother...did I do something wrong?"

"Hmm? What do you think you did wrong?" Kunta asked her patiently.

"Yesterday...yesterday." Lilith answered hesitantly.

"What do you think you did wrong yesterday?"

"I... I don't know either. Mother, I just feel like I did something wrong, but I don't know where the problem lies?" Lilith looked out the window in confusion.

Kunta's teahouse is on the eighth floor, and from here you can even see the roofs of some houses.

Most of the people living nearby are ordinary people. The houses are densely packed and lined up one after another, with almost no space between them. It looks a bit suffocating.

Kunta didn't speak in a hurry. She turned sideways and took a plate of snacks from the square table behind her.

"Eat a piece." Kunta handed it to Lilith.

Lilith withdrew her gaze from the window and fell on the plate in front of her. She shook her head and rejected Kunta's invitation: "Mother, I don't want to eat now."

"Well, if you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it." Kunta smiled and put the small plate aside.

"Lilith, what should we have done yesterday so that you were not wrong?" Kunta asked his daughter as if they were chatting with a friend.

What should I do? Lilith repeated the question asked by her mother, Kunta, in her mind. What should she do? After a moment, she smiled bitterly and said to her mother, "I don't know what is the best way."

"Since you don't know what is the best thing to do, why do you feel that you have done something wrong?" Kunta tucked the hair around Lilith's face behind her left ear.

Yes, I feel wrong, but I should have a correct answer as a reference. But do I have a correct answer? No.

Lilith, the whole little orc, was extremely depressed.

I can't find the problem, but I feel like I've messed up everything.

Seeing her daughter Lilith like this, Kunta couldn't bear to let her go. She asked, "Are you dissatisfied with your performance and the final outcome?"

Lilith looked at the dessert plate that her mother had casually placed on the ground and nodded slowly. The hair that Kunta had just tucked behind her ears slid out again, covering her eyes in scattered pieces.

The desserts and plates were incomplete.

"But doesn't Lilith have no other choice?" Kunta's voice was gentle.

Yes, there is nothing I can do... Lilith's throat was dry: "Mother."

"kindness?"

"I'm so useless." Lilith said very sadly with a smile.

"Silly child, personal ability has its limits." Kunta tapped the tip of Lilith's nose, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

“There are limits to one’s abilities.”

[Because personal ability has its own limits]

Mother's face and Seth's face seemed to overlap at this moment.

Lilith looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I think I have made Seth unable to go home. I always feel that there is no better way. If I am good enough, smart enough and decisive enough, can I avoid this ending?"

Kunta patiently asked, "What position did Seth hold in the City Lord's Mansion before?"

Lilith recalled Seth and her second father, Sennasha, who were both sons of the city lord. Seth was also a special person among the sons of the city lord: "He is one of the candidates for the city lord's successor."

"What about Lord Ultra's plan?" Quinta continued to ask.

Lilith was silent for a long time: "...Let me be Seth's puppet and help Seth take the position of city lord as a male orc."

Kunta stopped talking.

In fact, Lilith knew that if it was before, Seth might still be able to stay in Lila City to assist with his status as the candidate for the successor of the former city lord. But after the old city lord also knew the plan of the Lord of Ultra, this possibility was almost zero.

However, I know it clearly in my mind. But just thinking about yesterday, when Seth, who was so proud, said to me, "Can you take me away?", it is heartbreaking enough.

It was Seth! It was Seth who said "Take me away"...

Not someone else.

"Lilith, do what you can do. Don't think about what others can do." Kunta patted his daughter's head.

Kunta laughed loudly while hugging his little daughter who seemed to be about to break. "Because the answers we need are always yours, Lilith. Not someone else's. Ah! Mother's Lilith is so kind. Mother is so happy."

"Mother..." Lilith hugged her mother, Kunta, "In your eyes, whatever I do is good..."

"Of course!" Kunta said without hesitation. She let go of Lilith and held her face in her hands: "Mother, I believe you."

My mother's grey eyes have the same boundless tolerance as the sea.

Lilith felt that she could do anything and get her approval.

Even if you are not excellent, not smart, and have many shortcomings.

But the owner of these gray eyes believes in himself and tolerates himself.

Lilith no longer retreated in her heart. At this moment, she believed that she could face this trust and tolerance.

"Yes, mother. I will do what I can."
