A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

At the same time, a battle between the old and the new was taking place at the power center of Lila City.

"Ultra! I said, I won't allow it!" Willow, the old mayor of Lila City, slapped the table with his palm. The overflowing dark power spread out in circles, and the official documents on the table were scattered in the room in a circle. Under the strong pressure, the cracks on the table were constantly expanding outwards.

With a "hiss!" sound, the desk that had been in use since the current city lord Ultra took office finally died. The remains of the desk "crackled" and shattered all over the floor.

The damage to the table did not affect the only two orcs in the room, Ultra and Willow, mother and son.

Willow's anger did not subside.

Ottla stood aside with his head slightly lowered, and did not step back.

The two city lords, one new and one old, whose every move determines the fate of Lila City, seem to be unable to reach an agreement on an important issue.

The old city lord Willow and the current city lord Ultra have exactly the same dark orange eyes.

The old city lord Willow narrowed his eyes and looked at his seemingly well-behaved son beside him.

The current city lord, Ottla, still lowered his head slightly, and said nothing. His hands, stretched straight by his legs, turned a little pale due to the force.

The two city lords confronted each other in silence.

Just like two wolf kings meeting on the grassland.

He holds his head high and looks very imposing.

One head bowed humbly, and the limbs exerted strength.

The former is an invincible king, but his fur is not as bright as before.

The latter is an ambitious man who works patiently, just waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the former.

Time has no leniency towards an old king.

There cannot be two voices coming from the top of a city.

The old city lord of Yourong turned around.

Willow's silver-gray hair was tied up behind her head, and one or two strands fell on her shoulders and neck, leaving a sharp light as she turned around neatly.

The corners of his eyes with fine lines glanced at the current city lord Ultra with a haughty look, and warned with disdain: "Don't forget, Ultra. According to tradition, you, a male orc, are only the acting city lord. Don't do anything beyond the rules."

"Buzz--" As the sound of the door opening rang out, the old city lord Willow was still the elegant and inviolable old city lord of Lila City, and every orc bowed his head to her.

Apart from…

The current city lord Ottla, who had been humbly lowering his head in the room just now.

He raised his head and looked at the messy study room. His eyes were calm, with only the certainty in them quietly swearing something.

~~~~~

Two days later, it was here in the blink of an eye.

The second father was always busy outside, so Lilith had no chance to ask him for information.

With trepidation in her heart, Lilith, accompanied by her mother, came to the Kurta family's carriage.

The familiar frame did not ease Lilith's emotions.

The gauze curtains were pulled open, revealing three pairs of similar grey eyes looking at her.

They smiled welcomingly at Lilith.

Grandma Kurta's gray hair was tied up, and there was an unshakable seriousness in her gray eyes, even when she was smiling kindly at this moment.

Aunt Diana's gray hair has the same curls as her mother Quinta's. The sisters' fluffy, wide-curled hair is incredibly romantic, which once made Lilith, who has light blonde curls, envious.

Diana's aunt's gray eyes also had a gentle smile, and in the past few years, her eyes had become more and more like Kurta's grandmother's temperament. She was indeed the woman who would inherit Kurta's name in the future, Lilith secretly sighed.

The youngest, Rouxi, is completely different from Grandma Kurta and Aunt Diana.

She still looked very quiet, with darker grey hair than that of Grandma Kurta and Aunt Diana, which often made her face look white and bloodless. Her grey eyes always turned around slyly when no one was paying attention.

Because Rouxi and Amu Kunta had similar eyes, Lilith always felt close to them. In addition, Rouxi often stuck to Lilith, calling her "Sister Lilith" and "Sister Lilith" sweetly. Whenever Lilith met Rouxi's gray eyes, she felt warm in her heart.

With the help of her mother, Lilith got on the camel-bell sheep cart.

Surrounded by familiar family members, Lilith's original anxiety eased a little.

After a brief greeting, he said goodbye to Amu Kunta.

Accompanied by the sounds of camel bells and sheep hooves, my mother's figure has become a blur.

Through the gauze curtains, Lilith could only barely make out her mother's head from her shining golden hair.

Lilith sat down calmly until even her golden hair could no longer be seen.

Rouxi cleverly took her hand and shook it back and forth.

Lilith smiled at Rouxi, but maybe it was because the light inside the frame was bad or something, the companion stone hanging on her forehead also looked a little dim.

It was Lilith's first time to attend a family banquet hosted by the City Lord's Mansion.

Although Grandma Kurta and Grandpa Samuel had taught her the procedures and etiquette of the Lila City banquet before, Lilith asked the elders in the car, Grandma Kurta and Aunt Diana, about the matters that needed to be paid attention to in family banquets for the sake of safety.

"Granny Kurta, Aunt Diana, is there anything Lilith needs to be careful about later? This is my first time attending a family banquet."

Kurta shook his head. "There's nothing special about the procedures and etiquette. It's just that the word 'family' is added, so Lilith can be more friendly and enthusiastic. It doesn't need to be too much. When you go to Cavendish City later, you will have some experience. That will be enough."

Kurta paused for a moment, then continued, "Although the etiquette and rules of Lila City may not be applicable in Cavendish City, the relationship between orcs is often the same. Lilith, you and Rouxi can take this opportunity to observe carefully during today's banquet."

One with golden hair and the other with gray hair, the two little heads nodded up and down at the same time in tacit understanding. They were so cute that the two adults in the car couldn't help laughing out loud.

The golden-haired Lilith and the gray-haired Rouxi were full of questions when faced with the laughter of their elders. They looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they felt wronged for being laughed at.

The two little faces frowned at the same time, pursed their lips, and did not speak, looking at Kurta and Diana who were smiling happily with accusatory eyes.

Diana coughed twice to stop laughing. She immediately turned the conversation to Lilith's initial question, deftly bypassing the two little ones' silent accusations: "In fact, in addition to what your mother just said, I think you can also spend more time with friends of your age."

Upon hearing this, Diana's daughter Rousi was the first to speak up and disagree.

Diana didn't give Rouxi a chance to speak, and then said, "I know that Lilith is going to Cavendish City soon." Then she looked at her daughter Rouxi, "I also know that Rouxi, you want to stay with Lilith more while she is still in Lila City."

Diana's eyes were filled with rare severity. "But Lilith rarely attended banquets in the city before, and she had no experience in making friends with other young beastmen of the same age. It is not good for Lilith to still be like this after arriving in Cavendish City."

Diana looked Lilith in the eye seriously and said, "Lilith, when you arrive in a new city, you need new friends." She smiled easily, "It's good to treat today as a practice. It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. The key is to have this awareness."

“I know…” Rouxi was a little depressed.

Lilith also nodded: "I understand. Thank you Grandma Kurta and Aunt Diana." After that, she squeezed Rouxi's hand vigorously and blinked her eyes.

“You kid…we’re all family,” Kurta said with a smile, shaking his head.

Diana looked at the two little ones, and some memories flashed before her eyes.
