A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

The sun is high in the sky and the air is filled with hot summer air.

Seth, sitting in the pavilion, watched motionlessly as Lilith and Penny walked in the garden.

Just when he thought this would last a long time.

Over there, Lilith's eyes were red. "That's it, Sister Penny. Today Lilith is here to say goodbye to you. I don't know when we will meet next time. I hope Sister Penny is doing well."

Penny's originally happy mood turned into loneliness.

Penny likes Lilith very much. Her life has always revolved around the central temple. Her friends are all apprentices and apprentices in the temple. Penny is friends with them but also has competition with them.

Lilith was different. She was like a bird that flew into the temple garden one afternoon. She brought a different smell, harmless and fresh… Although Penny knew that a bird that accidentally flew into the temple would not stay for too long, she never thought that it would fly away so early.

Penny shook her head, her eyes were red, and her voice was slow and gentle: "It's okay, Lilith. In this long life, you and I are still very young. In the future, we may have the opportunity to meet again. I heard that Cavendish is home to a magnificent city. I hope that Lilith can have your own happiness there. I will pray for you in this distant city of Lila."

At this time, the clear sound of birds pierced the sky.

Penny smiled and said to Lilith, "Look, the birds are also bearing witness for us."

Lilith looked up and saw the bird flying freely in the sky with its light body and powerful wings.

Lilith looked at the flying birds, and the melancholy in her heart dissipated like clouds blown away by the wind, and her mind suddenly became open.

There is a time for separation and a time for reunion. Cherish when you are together and wish sincerely when you are apart.

"Sister Petunia."

"kindness?"

"I will be in Cavendish City, looking forward to seeing you again. The distance between us cannot sever our friendship."

~~~

When Lilith ran back to Seth in a few steps, Seth was still a little confused.

"Are you done yet?" Seth asked.

"Yeah!" The worry on Lilith's face was gone.

"So fast? Have you finished everything?" Seth was surprised.

"Well, we can talk about it next time." Lilith's smiling eyes were like the clear sky after the rain, without any haze.

Seth felt relieved and stopped asking questions.

Instead, he said happily, "Then can we leave now?"

Hearing the excitement in Seth's tone, Lilith tilted her head in confusion.

Doesn't Seth like going to the central temple?

Now that I have said goodbye to Sister Penny, there is really no point in staying here.

After expressing their intention to leave, Lilith and Seth left the central temple accompanied by Penny.

What surprised Seth was that even though he and Lilith had walked far away from the central temple, Penny still stood there and looked at them.

But at the same time, Lilith kept turning around and waving at Penny, which made Seth feel that Penny was very scheming.

So, Seth moved faster. If Lilith hadn't wanted to walk by herself, Seth would have carried Lilith into another street.

In this way, Seth continued to accelerate forward while taking Lilith's speed into consideration.

Lilith kept waving to Penny who was standing in front of the central temple behind her.

Seth and Lilith, these two little orcs maintain some kind of strange tacit understanding.

One orc went forward, and one orc went backward.

Finally, I reached the end of the street.

"Lilith, is there anywhere you want to go?" Seth, stepping into another street, felt very relaxed.

Lilith, who had been thinking about how to talk to Seth, said, "Hmm?"

"Don't you have something important to tell me? It's a bit noisy here." Seth kept thinking about Lilith's words.

Only then did Lilith notice that the surrounding orcs were coming and going, vendors were hawking their wares, and the hustle and bustle was not a suitable place to say goodbye.

But where should they go? Lilith had not made any specific plans in her mind before this. Rather than saying that she had not made any specific plans, it would be better to say that she instinctively rejected such plans.

But just as this street would eventually come to an end, and the only choice before her was which street or alley to walk into, Lilith also had to take a step into another street or alley.

Seth did not urge Lilith. He just stood aside and waited quietly for Lilith to make a choice, like a reliable big tree.

The orcs around them came and went, and Lilith and Seth, who were standing in place, were invisibly separated, forming a small vacuum zone.

The street scene around me has not changed.

The movement of the sun cannot be detected by the naked eye.

The shadows of Lilith and Seth on the ground were still facing the same direction.

But Lilith felt that a long time had passed. There were many orcs coming and going beside her, but she didn't know which street she should go to or where her destination was.

Seth's brows furrowed more and more. Lilith seemed to be thrown into a flock of sheep, but she herself was not a lamb. Seth saw her confusion.

What a guy who can't let the orcs rest assured for even a second, Seth complained in his heart. The next second, without asking Lilith's opinion, Seth's men quickly hugged Lilith into their arms.

"Haven't you decided where to go?" Seth scratched Lilith's nose with his index finger. "Even so, do you still have to come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me?" After saying this, Seth looked as if he had just eaten a piece of candy.

"Hahaha, that's how it should be. The stone tablet I gave Lilith to enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion should be used by Lilith in this way." Seth's mood continued to improve with the words he spoke.

Lilith's heart was already filled with guilt. As an ordinary worker in her previous life, she realized that her behavior was very inappropriate.

She spoke apologetically, wanting to express her apology: "Seth, I wasted your time and delayed your official duties by coming to the City Lord's Mansion to invite you without making arrangements... I was too immature, sorry..."

Lilith didn't have the chance to say the word "I'm sorry" completely. Seth's index finger was placed in front of her lips.

Lilith stared at Seth with eyes wide open, eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Seth had already removed his index finger and shook it in front of Lilith's eyes: "Lilith, you don't have to say such things to me."

Lilith, who was in Seth's arms, had to slightly raise her head to see Seth's expression.

Seth was no longer looking at Lilith at this time, but looked forward, holding Lilith in his arms with his arms, and walking casually along the street.

Lilith tilted her head slightly and could only see Seth's protruding Adam's apple, clear jaw, and the vague but definite smile on his lips.

In the time she was distracted, the street scene around her quietly changed. Seth held her in his arms and walked up the ramp.

Lilith felt unfamiliar with this place. When she was about to ask Seth, Seth's voice sounded first: "Actually, when I'm with Lilith, I often feel very relaxed and don't have to think about too many other things."

Lilith was stunned, staring blankly at Seth's jaw.

"After I returned to the city, I have been dealing with official business. But the official business seems to be endless, and I can't find a chance to see Lilith." This was the first time that Seth showed his annoyance with official business in front of Lilith.

Lilith's hands unconsciously clenched. Yes, Seth was just an underage orc. But because Seth always took care of her, she ignored his age.

Lilith's eyebrows were twisted into a knot. Not only did she not help Seth, but she also caused him a lot of trouble like a burden.

"So, for me, Lilith can come to me, and we can stay together and hang out. This is already a satisfying moment for me." Seth seemed to realize that what he said seemed strange. He lowered his head and smiled shyly at Lilith in his arms.
