A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Chapter 162: Gossip

"I'm starting to... look forward to it. I'm looking forward to Cavendish City." Lilith looked up at Seth and smiled with her eyes curved.

Seth was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled again: "Really? That's great." There was a hint of bitterness hidden under his smile, which no one could see.

"Yeah." Lilith nodded, then looked at the sunset in the distance.

When the last rays of sunset disappeared from the eyes of Lilith and Seth.

They both knew that it was time to go back.

"I will send you back."

"Let's go back."

The voices of the two little orcs sounded at the same time.

"Pfft~" What a strange tacit understanding. Seth smiled softly, and this smile seemed so happy that tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

Lilith also saw Seth's tears, even though they were very small. Lilith's heart tightened, but she couldn't help but reach out and wipe them away for Seth.

Is it a coincidence? Or is it deliberate?

Before Lilith's hand touched the corner of Seth's eye, Seth had already turned his face away.

Even though they had almost no time to spend together, in the last moments, he wanted to remain strong, fearless, and reliable in front of Lilith.

This is a kind of stubbornness unique to young people.

The darkening sky concealed the silence between the two little beasts.

Until I walked down the city wall, I was interrupted by the greetings and farewells of the city guards who were changing shifts.

Lilith listened to Seth's friendly yet dignified response and once again realized that Seth was different, a side of him she had never noticed before.

Yes, “one side”, whether it is humans or orcs, they have many sides.

She was so immersed in Seth's "goodness" that she missed the opportunity to see other sides of Seth.

Or rather, ignored...

Lilith looked listless with her head drooped.

Suddenly, her little ears pricked up.

In the back, the city guards who had just greeted and said goodbye to Seth were whispering to each other.

If they hadn't mentioned Seth's name, Lilith wouldn't have cared. But they did.

Lilith tilted her head back and looked at Seth, only to find that his expression didn't change at all as he greeted the city guards in front of him.

However, the expression of the city guard became a little embarrassed.

Apparently, this city guard also heard the whispers of the other two city guards behind him.

"You idiot... why are you smiling so earnestly? You big idiot... it's a waste of effort... eh? Could it be that? Didn't you hear the news?"

"What news? You are a fool. Master Seth is the most..."

"Well, that was so many years ago. Have you really heard nothing about it?"

"Hey, you male orc, why are you pretending in front of me? Say it if you want!"

"Pretending?! Humph! Forget it, forget it. We are a team, so I told you the news. Don't even think about it, other orcs. If you hear it, just be happy."

"You say it, you say it."

"Let me tell you, you know, my father's and mother's eldest brother's little male beast..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to know about your family's relatives. I'm at the sentry post, take a rest."

"What are you taking a break for? I'm just getting to the point!"

"Oh."

"Hey, seeing you like this, I'm too lazy to say anything."

"You love to talk but don't talk."

"Hiss! It's you, I'll tell you. I have orcs in the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Oh."

"Hey! Why are you so stubborn? I have to tell you, I heard some news."

"Oh."

"Master Seth is about to fall out of favor!"
