A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

"Lilith?"

Lilith, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, looked at Seth with puzzled eyes.

"Lilith, don't think too much." Seth's hand stroked the curly hair on the back of Lilith's head.

Lilith lowered her eyes slightly and pursed her lips: "No random thoughts..."

How could he look like he had no random thoughts? He almost raised the words "feeling depressed" above his head.

Seth saw it all, but he also knew that at times like this, he often couldn't get anything out of her. It would only be useful if Lilith wanted to say something herself.

In fact, Seth is not completely ignorant.

Combined with what Lilith said just now, Seth speculated that Lilith might feel guilty about herself?

Are you feeling guilty for not responding to me? Seth lowered his eyebrows and smiled. Lilith is such a gentle and silly child.

As a little female orc, Lilith is specially taken care of by the orcs around her, which is a very common and normal thing on the continent of Lilts.

She felt guilty about it.

So stupid... Such a stupid guy, yet Seth's heart was filled with warmth at this moment.

This warmth instantly filled his entire chest, flowing along with the surging blood to his head, his hands, and his legs...

Until the very end, a hint of warmth began to flow from his eyes.

Seth was worried about such a silly Lilith.

She began to worry that she would be deceived and harmed by other insidious and cunning orcs.

She was still young now, and he was watching over her so she wouldn't suffer any harm. But...what if she grew up? What if she was hurt by other male orcs? ...As soon as this thought came into Seth's mind, it kept spinning in his head.

When Seth thought of this possibility, his eyes darkened, and the warmth rolling in his bloodshot eyes instantly turned into a dark mist that was darker than the blood.

Although the timing was not right, coincidentally, the moods of the two little orcs, Lilith and Seth, also became not so good.

Seth was worried about the future that had never begun. He held Lilith in his arms in silence and continued to go up the slope.

Lilith blamed herself for not paying attention to the details. She stared blankly at the dangling red crystal earrings and no longer leaned completely into his arms.

The orcs who were coming towards them subconsciously walked around them.

The sun was setting, and the light tinted the white stone walls with a faint yellow.

Seth carried Lilith along the ramp and onto the city wall.

The shadow of the battlements was cast on the ground, with uneven surfaces.

Lilith looked down and saw the shadow of Seth holding her, interspersed among the uneven shadows.

Without any foreshadowing, she suddenly said softly: "Seth, I'm leaving."

When Seth and Lilith are together, everything is natural. They chat naturally and give each other space naturally.

The atmosphere between them was harmonious and did not need to be deliberately created. This resulted in Seth, who had been accustomed to the silence for a while and had not spoken, not reacting immediately.

"Let's go?" Seth wanted to say that he would take Lilith home.

But he was also keenly aware from Lilith's words that the "go" Lilith meant this time was different from before.

But Seth couldn't imagine how it was different. Or, in other words, he subconsciously excluded a certain kind of imagination.

Seth held Lilith's hand, quietly curled it up at an angle where no one was paying attention, and then quickly let go.

"Are you tired, Lilith? Do you want to go home?" Seth asked the same question as he asked every time he said goodbye in the past.

Because this will mean that this time is the same as every time before.

It’s a short separation, and we’ll see each other again soon.

Lilith was silent.

She shook her head slowly, looking past the battlements toward the setting sun in the distance, and repeated, "Seth, I'm leaving."

Seth's heart was beating inexplicably, and his heartbeats, which were getting faster and faster, gradually echoed throughout his chest.

Lilith's gaze has not shifted since she started speaking.

Her heart seemed to be grasped by invisible hands, not wanting her to continue talking. It was as if if she didn't say anything, it would just disappear and everything would be the same as before.

But no matter how selfish Lilith was, she couldn't convince herself to continue delaying.

The sunset became increasingly yellow, as if foreshadowing the end of everything.

She had to tell Seth about leaving.

This is the minimum respect for Seth.

Besides, for someone like her, it's actually a good thing for her to leave.

Lilith looked at the sunset in the distance, her eyes deliberately avoiding Kaiseth: "It's different from before. This time I'm leaving, I'm leaving Lila City, Seth."

Her voice floated far away on the wind and returned to Seth's ears: "Seth, I'm going to Cavendish City. Grandmother said that we will settle there."

"Seth, we may not see each other for a long time." Lilith withdrew her gaze from the setting sun, mustered up the courage to show Seth a forced smile that she herself did not realize was true, "Seth, I will miss you... very much."
