A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

"Mom?..." Lilith, who usually slept until she woke up naturally, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Kunta while sitting on the bed.

"Lilith, today is my sister's baptism day. Let's leave early~" Kunta said softly, standing beside the bed.

"Sister?" Lilith wondered, isn't she the youngest in the family?

"It's Rouxi, have you forgotten? I told you before going to bed yesterday." Kunta reminded his daughter Lilith patiently.

Lilith, who was half asleep, began to have difficulty recalling what happened before going to bed last night, oh! Lilith hit her head with her little hand and remembered! Grandmother said it was her sister’s little female beast.

Lilith straightened up and stood beside the bed: "Mom! Lilith is going. Lilith hasn't attended the baptism day yet~"

"How come you haven't participated before? Don't you remember Lilith's baptism day?" Quinta said with a smile.

Lilith's little feet kept stamping on the bed blanket: "But Lilith has never seen the baptism day of other little orcs. Mother, please dress Lilith in Heaton!"

"Okay, okay~" Kunta agreed verbally while helping Lilith change into Heaton.

"Well..." Antonio was keenly aware of the movement in the room. He immediately opened his eyes and sat up, and found that it was his mother and sister. Antonio was relieved and asked: "Mom? Why do you get up so early?"

"Antonio is awake? It's still early! You can sleep a little longer." Quinta was surprised that Antonio woke up. She looked at Pappas, who was still sleeping soundly with Antonio's mother, and couldn't help but shake her head, "Sleep." Well, grandma is going to take Lilith to attend the baptism day of your aunt’s little female beast.”

"Aunt Diana?" Antonio asked.

"Well, you and Pappas have to go to the temple in the afternoon, so grandma won't take you with her. Aunt Amira will help you prepare delicious food at noon. Antonio is not allowed to be picky about food." Quinta explained to Antonio at the same time He also talked about the arrangements for his two younger sons.

After speaking, Quinta let Antonio sleep on his back and tucked the blanket for him.

A gentle kiss fell on him: "Go to sleep, Antonio." Quinta took out a little bit of his mental energy to comfort Antonio, who was already obsessed with thoughts.

Watching his youngest son Antonio fall asleep again, Quinta turned around and picked up Lilith, lowering his voice: "Let's keep it down."

Lilith stretched out her index finger in tacit agreement: "Shh!"

Going down to the small dining room on the third floor, Amira quickly served the prepared soup and bread.

Lilith and her mother had a simple meal when they heard the servant Jimmy come to report: "Madam, Master Seth from the City Lord's Mansion has arrived."

Quinta asked: "Why don't you invite him to come up?"

Jimmy replied: "Master Seth said he won't come up."

Kunta looked at Lilith who had almost eaten: "Then Lilith and I will go down now. Is Jimmy ready?"

Jimmy replied: "It's ready, madam. It will be placed in the lobby on the first floor."

"Let's go." Kunta wiped the corners of Lilith's mouth, then picked up Lilith and went downstairs.

"Seth, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?" As soon as Quinta came out of the high house, he saw Seth standing next to the camel and antelope car.

"Very good. Thank you Sister Kunta for your concern." Seth said with a smile in his eyes, "How is Sister Kunta's health? Is Lilith good?"

Lilith felt a little weird when she heard this. She rushed to emphasize in front of her mother: "Lilith is sensible. You can't use words like good or bad to describe her!"

"Hahaha" Seth was amused by Lilith's statement. Looking at Lilith who still wanted to be hugged, he asked with itchiness: "Sister Quinta, can I hug Lilith?"

Quinta smiled and placed Lilith into Seth's arms.

Lilith greeted Seth very familiarly: "Seth, long time no see!"

Seth tilted his head and smiled: "Long time no see, Lilith. You speak Chinese very well."

Lilith said seriously: "Seth, after being baptized, the little orc will be able to speak Chinese as soon as he becomes wise."

Seth laughed: "I mean Lilith is very understanding."

Lilith put her little hand on Seth's shoulder: "Thank you for the compliment."

Seth hesitated: "...You're welcome, Lilith. You really don't look like a little orc..."

Lilith lowered her head and looked up and down her little body, then looked at Seth doubtfully: "Huh?"

Seth shook his head and smiled: "Let's get in the car." Seth looked at Quinta the gentleman and said: "Sister Quinta, let me help you."

Kunta waved his hand and refused: "No need." He climbed onto the camel and antelope carriage on the small steps.

At this time, Lilith also discovered that Seth's camel and antelope car was equipped with a small folding step ladder device and even had a carved handrail on one side.

Lilith thought of the camel antelope car at home when she sent Pappas and Antonio to the temple last time, and said dryly: "Your car... is really unique."

Seth chuckled: "You look good." He hugged Lilith and climbed onto the camel and antelope cart without even using the folding steps.

Lilith nervously grasped the silver chain around Seth's neck.

Today Seth did not wear the wide necklace that Lilith had seen before. He only casually wore a thick silver Cuban chain, about the thickness of an adult orc's thumb, with oval rings interlocking layer by layer and twisted into a chain like a twist.

The one worn by Seth will only reach the length of the collarbone. At this time, Lilith held him tightly, almost causing Seth to lose his breath. His feet were unsteady, and he narrowly avoided falling off the car.

Lilith discovered her mistake in time, quickly let go of the silver chain in her hand, and pretended that nothing had happened to help Seth adjust the position of the necklace. Finally, he patted the necklace twice with his little hand, his eyes narrowed into a smile and he said to please: "Seth, this necklace is really suitable for you~"

Seth deadpanned.

Lilith increased her power: "Look, you have perfect wheat-colored skin, and then wear a thick silver necklace like this." Lilith patted the necklace around Seth's neck again and sighed: "Tsk tsk... the silver necklace is shining with cold light, The wheat-colored skin is full of strength. When I put it on you, tsk~"

The short index finger of Lilith's little hand carefully picked up the silver chain: "It's still such a thick necklace, tsk tsk~" Unfortunately, there was no mirror, and Lilith had no way of knowing how stupid the expression on her face was at this time.

But Seth, who was face to face, could see it clearly. He laughed out loud, "Pfft~haha", and tightened his arms to hug Lilith punitively: "Where did you learn that? One set after another .”

Seth put his hand on top of Lilith's head to protect her, and led Lilith into the car.

Kunta in the carriage understood what was happening outside the carriage and just shook his head and smiled.

Seth entered the car and sat across from Quinta. Only then did Lilith observe Seth's carriage. Similar to the carriage at home, the carriage was surrounded by gauze curtains.

At this time, Lilith noticed that the servants outside the carriage had changed again. She asked Seth, "This is not the orc that came to our house that day."

Seth followed Lilith's line of sight and saw the coachman, and explained: "This is Jin Huai, my coachman. It was Al who went to the Cavendish house before."

Lilith understood, the division of responsibilities was different.

Seth was a little surprised that Lilith still remembered Al. He asked Lilith: "Lilith is deeply impressed by Al?"

Lilith shook her head and nodded: "This is the first time Seth has sent an orc to our home."

Seth explained: "When I have something to do these days, I ask Al to come to my house and ask questions. He is my personal servant, and we grew up together."

Lilith was shocked: "You guys grew up together?! That's a very good relationship~"

Thinking of Al, Seth had a soft expression on his face: "It's okay."

Lilith was a little curious: "Then why is he not here now?"

Seth said: "He went to practice outside the city."

Lilith wondered: "Isn't he a personal servant?"

Seth chuckled and answered for Lilith: "Personal servant is just a position. Al usually helps me handle some affairs and doesn't have to be with me all the time. It depends on the situation."

Lilith nodded in understanding.

When the camel bell sheep carriage started to move, Lilith discovered that as the light changed, there were faint silver threads flashing on the carriage curtain, which could be seen as the pattern of some kind of animal. It's amazing that the animals on the curtain seem to be following the camel bell and sheep cart.

Seth's camel and antelope car traveled on the roads of Lila City without any bumps and was very stable. Lilith became even more convinced of this when Seth poured a glass of moo beast milk for her.

Lilith looked at the car, which was similar to her own Camel Antelope car in every way, but also exquisite in every way. The hand on Seth's shoulder patted twice. When Seth lowered his head and looked at Lilith questioningly, Lilith said to Seth with a serious face: "Seth, you are really rich."

Seth was stunned! Then laughed "hahaha". He looked down at Lilith with a somewhat doting look: "You are the first orc to tell me this."

"Eh?" Lilith glanced at the decorations in the carriage and looked at the thick necklace around Seth's neck, her expression unspeakable for a moment.

Seth gently stroked the light golden curls on Lilith's head and murmured in a voice that was difficult for the orcs around him to hear: "They are all from the City Lord's Mansion..."

Lilith in his arms seemed to hear Seth's voice: "Huh? What did you say?"

Seth pinched Lilith's little face and said, "I didn't say anything."

Quinta on the opposite side was also embarrassed by Lilith's words just now. Kunta said to Seth apologetically: "Sorry, Seth. Lilith is not very sensible yet."

When Lilith heard this, she was the first to be displeased, pouting and trying to refute. Not wanting Seth to stroke her back gently, he shook his head at Kunta and said, "No. I don't have a sister. Lilith is very cute like this." After a pause, Seth chuckled and said, "I like it very much."

Quinta smiled and nodded at Seth. When Seth wasn't paying attention, he glanced at Lilith and shook his head at Lilith with some seriousness.

Suddenly, Lilith collapsed in Seth's arms like a deflated little rubber ball.

Seth didn't realize the interaction between mother and daughter just now, and just thought Lilith was tired. Shake your arms slightly to imitate the motion of rocking a car. Lilith was shaken and fell asleep.

When Lilith woke up again, she had arrived at the temple in the west of the city.

"Well..." Lilith's voice sounded confused as if she had just woken up.

Seth adjusted the way he was holding her, held Lilith a little higher, and asked softly: "Are you awake?"

Lilith rubbed her eyes and nodded: "Where is my mother? Seth."

Seth explained: "I just met the head of the Kurta family and went to help entertain the guests."

An orc suddenly appeared next to him and stood in front of Seth to say hello: "Good morning, Master Seth."

Lilith, who had just woken up, was startled by the unfamiliar voice and shuddered. Seeing this, Seth frowned and hugged Lilith tightly, looking at the orc with a solemn face to say hello: "Good morning."

The orc did not leave because of Seth's cold face, and introduced himself very nicely: "Hey, hello, Master Seth. I am Kull from Qiqili's family, and I run two Pons ice cream shops under my name. .”

Seth nodded lightly: "Hello."

"Hey, Master Seth, I..." The orc rubbed his hands. Before he finished speaking, Seth apologized to him: "Sorry, I have to go to the front. It's getting late."

"Of course, of course, Master Seth, you are busy." The orc moved out of the way very quickly.

Seth carried Lilith and walked towards the bench in the rotunda of the temple in the west of the city.

Along the way, orcs kept coming up to say hello.

"Hello, Master Seth..."

"Master Seth, good morning..."

"Master Seth, I am..."

……

Wave after wave of orcs arrived, forcing Seth and Lilith to slow down.

Lilith originally thought that Seth would be impatient, but she didn't expect that Seth would return the greetings to the orcs. But when the other party wanted to say something more, Seth would interrupt again.

This... doesn't look like the Seth that Lilith had in mind.

Lilith couldn't help but raise her head and look at Seth's face, the sharp jawline, the slightly hooked corners of the mouth, the dangling red spar earrings...

Lilith suddenly felt that Seth at this time was strange to her.

Lilith made a strong effort and put her arms around Seth's neck.

Seth was surprised by this sudden hug, and his bloody eyes widened.

Lilith spoke stubbornly, interrupting the orcs who came forward: "Seth, I want to go sit on the bench."

The scene immediately became quiet.

Who would demand too much etiquette from a little orc?

No.

Lilith's crisp voice appeared so immature and abrupt in a social gathering of a group of adult orcs.

One of the orcs had a look of astonishment on his face.

There was an orc with an angry look on his face.

Some of the orcs still had a smile on their face.

Different from the lively atmosphere at the beginning, the orcs obviously had different ideas in their minds.

But in Seth...

It's like a breeze in summer, saving the heat.

Seth raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked down at Lilith, and looked into Lilith's eyes that were angry for some reason.

Seth suddenly smiled: "Okay."

Then Seth retracted his smile. He politely apologized to the surrounding orcs and signaled that he was leaving.

At this time, Lilith's little body, which had been stiff due to the gaze of the orcs, relaxed and leaned on Seth.

Seth patted Lilith calmly.

When Seth and Lilith both thought they could reach the bench smoothly this time...

"Is this Master Seth's... little fiancée?" A seemingly friendly question came from behind.

Seth paused at his feet.

He frowned.

The subordinate pressed Lilith's head into his arms in a protective manner.

Lilith subconsciously wanted to spread it open with her hands, but her strength relaxed due to the comforting palm behind her head.

Seth turned around and saw the smiling orc from before.

Seth didn't answer, just looked at the orc quietly.

Seth's gaze lingered for too long, and the orcs around him kept silent in a tacit agreement.

The orc gradually became a little uneasy, sweat broke out on his head, but he could still maintain the smile on his face: "Master Seth?"

Seth looked at him and asked, "Who are you? Where did you hear about it?"

The orc felt like he had been pardoned, and felt that he was right to speak before: "Hello, Master Seth. I am Lumber of the Alkar family. I have always heard that the Lord of the City has chosen a fiancée for you. I didn't expect that today. It’s a pleasure to see you.”

The orc named Lumber gushed, looking at Seth holding Lilith in his arms and praising: "What a perfect match!~" He clasped his hands together, and suddenly thought: "Say, Master Seth is only eleven years old this year? And The young lady in your arms is just right. It is indeed the arrangement of the Lord of the City."

Lilith was frightened when she heard the word fiancée. When did it happen? Why doesn't Lilith know?

Frightened, Lilith broke away from Seth's hand and looked at Seth in disbelief.

Seth shook his head helplessly at her.

Lilith turned to the orc who was talking dissatisfied, she wanted to see who was talking nonsense.

Seeing Lilith turn around, Lumber was about to speak again.

Seth held Lilith in his arms, faced the orcs, and introduced seriously: "This is Lilith. She is mine..."

The word sister that Seth wanted to blurt out was stuck in his throat for some reason.

After taking a breath, purse your lips.

Seth spoke again: "She's my little niece."
