A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Rila City, the city lord's palace.

City Lord Ultra walked into the study as usual.

Only Butler Hunter, who followed City Lord Ultra step by step, felt the tranquility before the volcano erupted.

Butler Hunter consciously closed the stone door of the study and stood by the door.

City Lord Ultra entered the study and stood in front of the window.

Looking at the garden of the city lord's mansion with lush foliage in the dusk, he remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he took a deep breath.

"Hunter, Seth should believe me."

"Lord City Lord, Master Seth is just too young."

"Hunter...there is no need to say these words between you and me." City Lord Ultra turned to look at Butler Hunter who was standing by the door.

Behind him was the dim sky outside the window. The expression on his face was hidden in the dark study room.

Butler Hunter tried to interpret the mood of City Lord Ultra: "Mr. City Lord, maybe Master Seth and you are too unfamiliar and there is a misunderstanding. You are Master Seth's father. Master Seth has a natural affection for you. Yearning and respect.”

Butler Hunter's words brought the memory of City Lord Ultra back to the evening when Seth's mother left more than ten years ago.

……

"Jasmine! Stop making trouble." City Lord Ultra stretched out his hand to hold the female orc who was about to step out of the main building.

"Let me go, Ultra." The female orc known as Jasmine said calmly with her back to the city lord Ultra.

City Lord Ultra had a look of helplessness on his face: "Jasmine, don't be willful. You know I don't like you to be like this."

City Lord Ultra felt a little tired of Jasmine who was always having a bad temper recently.

If it were normal, as soon as Jasmine heard this, she would turn around and argue with the city lord Ultra.

But at this moment, Jasmine didn't have the slightest desire to argue, and she didn't even want to turn around and see him.

In the eyes of the city lord Ultra, this was just another case of Jasmine’s little female beast’s thoughts: “Jasmine, I haven’t finished handling my official duties yet.”

"Then let me go." Female orc Jasmine said coldly.

City Lord Ultra sighed: "Seth is still waiting for you."

Female orc Jasmine thought of her son, Seth, who was less than two years old, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing that Jasmine didn't make any more noise, City Lord Ultra held her hand and prepared to go back to the bedroom, but he didn't pull.

"Jasmine?" City Lord Ultra frowned.

"You will take good care of him, right?" the female orc Jasmine asked.

The furrow between City Lord Ultra's brows deepened: "Jasmine, Seth is your little male beast."

"Can I take him away?" the female orc Jasmine asked innocently.

"What do you think? Jasmine." City Lord Ultra asked.

The female orc, Jasmine, lowered her head. Even if she doesn't look back, City Lord Ultra can imagine that those red eyes must look pitiful now.

Thinking of this, City Lord Ultra felt a little itchy.

Just as City Lord Ultra was thinking secretly whether he needed to carry Jasmine back to the bedroom.

Jasmine's sniffling voice came: "Would it be better for Seth to stay in the City Lord's Mansion? Ultra, can you promise me to take good care of Seth? Along with my share."

"Jasmine, these are not words that can be used to fool around." City Lord Ultra said in a deep voice.

"I know." Jasmine turned back, looked at the dark red eyes of City Lord Ultra, and smiled: "I want to leave, Ultra."

City Lord Ultra and the entire male orcs seemed to be firing cannons of martial energy.

But when the muzzle was pointed at Jasmine, Ultra swallowed the shell back into his stomach.

"Why?" Ultra didn't understand what happened.

"Zinnia, Daisy, Rusha..." Jasmine paused, and she asked Ultra: "Do you need to continue? Ultra?... I want to leave some dignity for us."

Ultra's expression froze. He put his hands on Jasmine's shoulders: "Jasmine, you should know that I have never cared about other female orcs as much as I care about you."

The female orc Jasmine looked at Ultra and said nothing.

Ultra explained: "They were all arranged by Mother. You know, Seth is a little male beast. And the Guxili family needs a little female beast for the next generation."

The female orc Jasmine turned away.

Ultra touched her cheeks: "I only have you."

"I am a female orc. But I love you, and I am willing to give up other male orcs for you and be locked up in the city lord's mansion."

The female orc Jasmine turned back and looked directly at Ultra.

"But what about you? Ultra?"

The city lord Ultra, who had always been arrogant, could not look directly into the eyes of the female orc Jasmine.

"Uttra, I hope you can take good care of Seth for the sake of the little friendship we had." The female orc Jasmine opened her shoulders and Ultra's hands. Turn around.

"Where are you going?" Ultra asked in a low voice.

"I grew up in Lila City, and now I want to take a look at other city-states." The female orc Jasmin smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I won't let our two families embarrass each other."

The female orc Jasmine paused for a moment, not waiting for Ultra's reply. She walked away.

Before passing through the garden of the city lord's mansion, the female orc Jasmine thought to herself: "Look! He is not even willing to promise to wait for a while to keep you. Let's see if the little female beast will come."

The pace of female orc Jasmine's departure accelerated, and she knew that leaving now was the best choice.

She hated herself for being obsessed with Ultra every day, as if she was going crazy.

If she continues to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, Jasmine believes that she will soon not recognize herself.

And Seth...Jasmine can't take away the little orcs from the city lord's mansion, especially if there is no little female beast.

For now, Ultratra still has feelings for her and is not tired of it. It would be better for Seth to stay here than to follow her to an unknown city-state.

What's more, with Seth's talented bloodline... it will be fine... it will be fine... the little male orc will eventually stand up on his own, and Seth... is just... a little... a little faster.

The female orc Jasmine told herself repeatedly.

The main building of the city lord's palace behind her spans different floors. The eyes of two male orcs, one large and one small, have been fixed behind her.

That night, City Lord Ultra went there with him and stayed in the study to handle official business. The only difference was that he came to Seth's room before going to bed that night.

It was a rare moment of fatherly love for City Lord Ultra.

The candlelight in the room seemed to be particularly bright that day. When Ultra picked up little Seth who had been standing by the window, he could clearly see the hidden disappointment in little Seth's eyes.

"Father, is mom gone?" Little Seth said in a childish voice.

City Lord Ultra nodded.

Little Seth lowered his eyes and said for a long time, "That's fine. My mother is not happy."

City Lord Ultra was a little surprised that young Seth had such a delicate mind.

Little Seth put his hands on Ultra's shoulders: "Seth hopes grandma can be happy."

"Even if it's not by your side?" City Lord Ultra asked, looking at Seth's bloody eyes between him and Jasmine.

The baby fat on little Seth's face has not disappeared. His mouth tightened and the flesh on his cheeks became plumper.

Looking at City Lord Ultra, little Seth nodded: "Yes. Seth is a male orc, so it doesn't matter."

Little Seth lowered his head: "It's a pity that Seth is still very young and can't protect or take care of his mother."

Little Seth raised his head again and looked at the city lord Ultra, blinking his round bloody eyes and said, "Father, so it's okay. Seth hopes that my mother can be happy and free."

Little Seth whispered to himself in his heart: "It doesn't matter, Seth! My mother left because she was unhappy here. But Seth has his father here. So Seth wants to stay."

City Lord Ultra looked at his youngest son Seth in his arms with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Seth and him are so... different.

Holding his and Jasmine's only child. City Lord Ultra tightened his arms.

One year…

Two years...

Time is really a wonderful thing, it puts us on the conveyor belt. No matter the good or the bad, they will be left behind.

Little Seth, who is three or four years old, has not seen his father for a long time.

City Lord Ultra is avoiding, consciously or unconsciously, this son who has similar eyes, hair color, and outstanding talent to him.

Until the news came from Butler Hunter: "Lord City Lord, Seth... Young Master Seth was blocked in the corridor by Master Twenty-One and the little orc."

City Lord Ultra made a move. In the past one or two years since Jasmine left, he has never welcomed the little female beast he planned.

Lately, City Lord Ultra always thinks of her late at night.

Although he didn't regret his original choice,...a thought flashed through Ultra's mind.

"Don't worry about it." City Lord Ultra said coldly.

Butler Hunter opened his eyes in shock. He always thought that Master Seth and the Lord of the City were different entities. But... "Yes." Butler Hunter responded and left the study.

The city lord Ultra in the study room thought to himself that he needed to leave a way out for himself.

If there is no little female beast, he and his mother will need a direct descendant to succeed the Guxili family and inherit the position of city lord.

Among his twenty or so sons, not many are remarkable.

The eldest son Riel has good blood, but he is dull and conceited.

The Twelve Son Keqi is good at controlling the rhythm, but his talent and bloodline are mediocre.

Only Seth, the twenty-fifth son, was endowed with good talent and blood, and had a pure character. It's a pity that I have no desire for power...

But...the desire for power is not something that cannot be cultivated. City Lord Ultra narrowed his eyes.

Seth is still young now, which is a disadvantage but also an advantage.

The city lord Ultra consciously changed Seth's temperament and it would not be difficult for his younger son to regain his lust for power.

Most importantly... Seth was his and Jasmine's son.

When possible, City Lord Ultra was not shy about handing over the things he valued most to their children.

It was also the decision made by City Lord Ultra.

Let the father in little Seth's mouth gradually transform into a father, a father, a city lord...

Sometimes, distance only takes a moment.

City Lord Ultra turned away first, leaving little Seth where he was.

An outstanding heir to the city lord should not be soft-hearted or devoted...

If Seth didn't understand, then he let the environment teach Seth.

……

More than ten years later.

The determination on his face covered the baby fat that Seth had when he was young.

City Lord Ultra has always been very satisfied with Seth's growth rate.

If it weren't for Seth's sudden move when he was acting as the city lord to offer sacrifices.

City Lord Ultra almost thought that Seth had grown into a qualified heir.

Unexpectedly... City Lord Ultra narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

Under the sky outside the window, in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, I could only barely see the shadows of the branches.

"Seth's heart is uncertain." City Lord Ultra said slowly.

"Lord City Lord?" Butler Hunter was puzzled.

"Seth didn't want to tell me his plans for Eighteen in advance. Who was he doing for? Hiding from me."

"Hunter, you know. As long as he asks, I will not refuse his small request." City Lord Ultra turned around and faced the dim garden of the City Lord's mansion.

"But Seth, why didn't he mention it?"

"What is he afraid of me asking him?"

"Haha. I know that if I do this, I will be dissatisfied with him. But I still have to make my own decisions when performing sacrifices on behalf of the city lord."

"Hunter, why do you think Seth has changed? Who is he defending? What is he afraid of me knowing?"

City Lord Ultra, in an extremely rare move, asked several questions in succession.

The butler Hunter was so shocked that he didn't know how to answer: "Your Majesty the City Lord..."

What Seth did today made City Lord Ultra acutely aware that the desire for power that he planted in Seth's heart had changed.

This change seems to be quite different from City Lord Ultra's original expectations.

In the past, Seth, although unruly, had a little temper in front of him. But still a son who wants his own attention.

But now his dissatisfaction is no longer important to Seth?

So, what is most important to Seth now?

City Lord Ultra looked out the window with deep eyes.
