A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Kurta did not give Kunta and Lilith much time to think. She held her daughter Kunta's hand and continued, "I came here today mainly for another matter."

"Another thing? Is there anything more important than this?" Kunta asked in confusion, repeating Amukurta's words.

Lilith's thoughts were also pulled back. Is there anything more important than the news just now?

Kunta and Lilith, mother and daughter, had similar features. They looked at Kurta together, and Kurta couldn't help but soften his voice: "Yes, it is an established fact that the city lord has a daughter. Even if I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't come to your door suddenly like today."

That is indeed the case. Kunta and Lilith nodded at the same time, feeling more and more worried.

Kurta continued, "The City Lord's Mansion actually sent an invitation last night, saying that they were going to hold a small family banquet."

"What? Xiaoyan...mother is here recently?" Kunta asked in surprise.

"In two days." Kurta nodded with a serious expression.

It was a delicate moment, and Kunta began to think about the purpose of the invitation.

Lilith, who didn't quite understand what a small family banquet was, was a little confused.

Kurta sighed and explained to Lilith: "Lilith, our Kurta family originated from the City Lord's Mansion, do you remember?"

Lilith nodded: "Remember, the Kurta family is a branch family of the City Lord's Mansion."

Kurta nodded slightly: "Yes, we Kurta were originally the descendants of the ninth generation city lord of the City Lord's Mansion and the branch of the tenth generation city lord. After the unremitting efforts of the first generation of Kurta clan leader, we finally became the current Kurta. It belongs to the Guxili family tree of the City Lord's Mansion and is an independent branch of the family tree."

"Is there any difference between a branch and a lateral branch?" To Lilith, they seemed to mean the same thing.

Thinking that Lilith would also be leaving with her daughter Kunta, Kurta planned to explain the difference to Lilith in person: "Lilith, actually, branches and side branches do have the same meaning in terms of their relationship with the main branch. They are all descendants of the current patriarch who has no descendants to inherit the family except for the heir. Whether it is a branch or a side branch, the biggest difference between them is that the side branch has an independent family tree."

"Family tree?" Lilith was more and more confused. Of course she knew what family tree meant, but could the existence of family tree have such an influence?

It was not surprising that Kurta did not understand Lilith. This was not because her daughter Kunta failed to teach her. In a family, information about the family tree was usually only known by the patriarch and his heirs.

It's normal that Lilith doesn't understand now.

In fact, even Kurta was restricted by the family bloodline and could only speak a few simple words to Lilith without involving any core information, hoping that Lilith could take it to heart.

Kurta: "Yes, family tree. For example, our Kurta family tree belongs to the Gusili family tree of the main branch of the City Lord's Mansion. It is the glory of the bloodline."

Lilith became even more confused.

Kurta did not elaborate, but just reminded her: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now." Kurta looked at her young granddaughter steadily, "I just hope you will remember it in your heart and understand it one day."

This is a grandmother's earnest expectation and blessing for her younger generation.

Without waiting for Lilith to say anything else, Kurta continued, "Without a branch of the family tree, the bloodline will become weak from generation to generation. Naturally, within the family, there is little say or status, and the bloodline can only be maintained through marriage. Of course, among the beastmen, such a marriage relationship is actually beneficial to both parties. Not only does it have a qualified heir, but it also consolidates the relationship with the branch."

When Kunta heard this, he glanced at the ends of his own golden hair and nodded slightly.

This was also the reason why she chose to separate from the Kurta family.

"Lilith, what you need to pay attention to is the relationship between the side branches and the main branch of the City Lord's Mansion." Kurta's voice increased, "Although the main branch has inherited the family tree, it does not mean that the side branches and offshoots cannot inherit the family tree."

Lilith's eyes widened. What did Grandma Kurta mean? ! !

Kurta easily saw Lilith's expression and smiled: "Yes, it means what you think. There is a significant competitive relationship between the side branch and the main branch."

At this point, Kurta also laughed in amusement. She shook her head and said, "The existence of competition has also divided the status of the side branches. The closer the side branch is to the first generation of the City Lord, the stronger the bloodline and the higher the status."

Kurta smiled indifferently and said, "Speaking of which, our Kurta family is considered to be a moderately ranked family among them..."

Kurta's smile seemed to lighten the atmosphere in the activity room. But Lilith was still worried about Seth. Although Kurta didn't tell her about Seth, Lilith could still sense the connection between her and Seth. What kind of connection was it?

Lilith lowered her head and tried to sort out her thoughts.

Grandma Kurta suddenly came to her house and first told her about the city lord's daughter, then mentioned the invitation to the city lord's mansion, and finally explained to her the main branch, branch, and side branch...

An invitation?! Yes, an invitation. An invitation to a small family banquet.

Lilith opened her eyes wide in realization and looked up at Grandma Kurta.

Kurta seemed to have been waiting for Lilith. When he saw Lilith's eyes, Kurta nodded imperceptibly.

Lilith asked tentatively, "Grandma Kurta, the City Lord's Mansion is going to hold a small family banquet. Is it different from the last City Lord's banquet?"

Lilith's question seemed to have nothing to do with what Kurta had just said about the side branches, but Kurta's smile became even more intense: "Yes, it's different. The celebration banquet after the last city patrol will be held regularly, with the intention of showing the authority of the City Lord's Mansion to the families in the city. The time of the family banquet is entirely up to the City Lord's wishes. The invitees will only be the branches and side branches of the main branch of some families. Everyone will keep in touch with each other at the banquet to strengthen family ties."

Lilith didn't think that holding a family banquet at such a delicate time when the city lord had a daughter was just a casual move by the city lord. She was more inclined to think that there was some important meaning behind it.

Lilith's mother, Kunta, seemed to have already understood the meaning of this, and her face was filled with joy. At the same time, Kunta also sensed the intention of her mother, Kurta, and tacitly did not speak, waiting for Lilith to think for herself.

Lilith faced the supportive eyes of her mother, Kunta, and grandmother, Kurta, and asked again tentatively: "After Lilith was born, did mother and grandmother Kurta hold a banquet or gather with the tribe members in advance before her baptism?"

Kunta and Kurta, mother and daughter, smiled at each other.

Kurta looked back at Lilith and shook his head, "There is no such custom in Lila City."

That meant that the family banquet at the City Lord's Mansion was unusual. Lilith's eyes lit up when she remembered that she was only formally introduced to her relatives and friends after her baptism.

"The city lord decided to hold a small family banquet at the last minute. Could it be related to Seth?" Lilith asked bluntly.

Lilith's performance just now had already made Kurta very satisfied. So Kurta no longer kept it a secret: "It's probably related."

Kurta seemed to be savoring this family banquet and said, "The guests are all family members, including our Kurta, who are not so close to us..." Kurta chuckled twice, "It seems that our city lord is really an unconventional person, or... a romantic? Hahahaha. Our old city lord actually agreed with the city lord's idea? Interesting."

Kunta also laughed along with Kurta.

Lilith didn't understand what Grandma Kurta said next, but it didn't affect her awareness of the current situation, which was beneficial to Seth.

For this, Lilith subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lilith, there's a family banquet at the City Lord's Mansion. Do you want to join us?" Kurta suddenly invited Lilith.

"Me?" Lilith pointed at herself unexpectedly.

Kurta nodded.

She had been quietly kneading things beside him, nervously holding Lilith's hand, her face full of anticipation. Sister Lilith was about to leave Lila City, and she wanted to stay with Sister Lilith for a while longer, so a banquet would be good.

Lilith hesitated.

Seth's back as he left last night appeared before my eyes.

Lilith bit her lower lip and nodded heavily: "I want to go, Grandma Kurta."

Kurta: "Very good, Lilith"
