A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Lilith had to admit that when she and the city lord Ultra were the only two orcs left in the corridor, the pressure in her heart began to increase exponentially.

There are no rooms on the third floor of this annex building.

The corridor itself is not separated by any walls or screens.

Just relying on the carvings on the wall, the area division is made, which seems simple but is actually magnificent.

In different areas, there are many lyres of different sizes, styles and shapes placed horizontally or vertically.

If it weren't for the fact that only Lilith and City Lord Ultra were left in this long corridor that could be seen from left to right at a glance, everything in front of him would definitely be called a visual feast.

Every lyre was completely different from anything Lilith had ever seen, but they were all placed and displayed casually by the owner here...

Somehow, Lilith felt that she didn't fit in here.

The corridor, which could be seen to the end at a glance, made Lilith, who was now standing in the center of the corridor, lower her head unconsciously.

The city lord Ottra in front of him had his back to Lilith, and he seemed to be completely immersed in the lyre in front of him.

His hands and eyes kept lingering on the lyre.

The city lord Otla's fingers lightly plucked a string, and a "clang" sound was heard.

Lilith, who had her head down, was startled and suddenly raised her head.

A pair of deep blue eyes that you can see through, opened wide.

He stared at the city lord Ultra with an almost glaring look.

Unfortunately, Lilith had no chance to see the lyre being plucked, because the back of the city lord, Ottla, was so tall that it was completely obscured.

What followed was another long silence.

Lilith was in a trance, and she almost thought that the "clang" sound just now was actually her illusion. She unconsciously pursed her lower lip.

The unfamiliar corridor, the majestic city lord...

Lilith seemed to be completely suppressed in this small circle where she could see her toes when she lowered her eyes.

Lilith could not move until the city lord spoke.

Being still young, her legs and feet soon became numb.

Even so, she knew that she could not act without the city lord's permission.

Even though the city lord had his back to her and was concentrating on enjoying the lyre.

As a flame master, the city lord does not only observe the world through his eyes.

At such a close distance, he didn't need to "see" Lilith to know her actions. These actions were so subtle that Lilith's eyebrows slightly raised and her lower lip became increasingly white...

The city lord remained indifferent.

Of course he was indifferent, if not...what did Lilith have to do with him?

Just think of this, that’s all.

"Lilith, I've heard your name more than once."

Lilith, who had been waiting for the city lord to speak for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief as if she could finally get some fresh air.

Her heart, which had been weighing on her neck, finally began to beat up and down at a normal rhythm.

As long as the city lord can speak, it will be good news for Lilith.

Although Lilith didn't know what happened, she asked the city lord to summon her here.

But as long as the city lord is willing to speak, it means that no matter what happens, there is still room for turnaround.

What Lilith fears is not what will happen, but the lack of a solution after it happens.

As long as the city lord opens his mouth, no matter how big the problem is, a gap will be torn open. No matter how big or small, Lilith will be able to maneuver in it.

Lilith did not try to control her facial expression. In front of an orc like the city lord, it was meaningless to control her facial expression.

The sound of her relieved breath was actually not small, but at this moment, it actually eased the originally depressing atmosphere a little.

It really is a little orc. City Lord Ottla smiled and turned around.

Just now, before he spoke, Lilith did not overstep the line and kept her composure, which made him quite satisfied. At least she was not the kind of person who would get easily startled, which was good.

As for Lilith's nervous pursing of her lips before and her sigh of relief after he spoke, these behaviors were in line with the nature of the little orc. He could see that Lilith was not a deep-minded little female orc, which was very good. The corners of the city lord Ottla's mouth were hooked.

After a brief encounter, the city lord Ultra had a simple understanding of Lilith's character and temperament.

Lilith's overall performance made City Lord Ultra more confident about the arrangements in his mind.

This made him look confident, and the orc no longer had the sense of distance he had when he turned his back to Lilith.

City Lord Ultra gave Lilith, who was looking up with her little head, a kind smile: "I heard about you not long after you were born. You are really a talented little orc." City Lord Ultra's eyes swept across the companion stone on Lilith's forehead, with satisfaction in his dark orange eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Mayor." Lilith bowed her head to the Lord Mayor and expressed her gratitude according to the etiquette she had learned.

City Lord Ottla nodded slightly, his face still friendly: "I am very happy that Lila City has a talented young man like you. This has greatly stimulated the vitality and future of our Lila City."

Lilith was not lost in the high praise from the city lord. Instead, she was worried and uneasy about the city lord's purpose.

Lilith's words and actions were more respectful than before. She rejected the city lord's praise in a neither soft nor hard way: "Lord City Lord, you are too kind. Lilith is still young. Everything I have now is entirely due to the generosity of Lord Beast God. Thank you Lord Beast God. I have not made any contribution to Lila City. It is difficult for me to deserve the city lord's favor, expectations and praise."

City Lord Ottla chuckled.

I didn't take Lilith's soft yet harsh words seriously.

He believed that his arrangement for the little female orc in front of him was no exaggeration to say that it was a shower of purple crystal coins from heaven.

After all, he was just a little orc, even though he had appeared calm and talented. Unfortunately, due to his background, he had never seen much of the world. He was still a little impatient.

Before he even told her his bargaining chip, Lilith was eager to express her opinion.

Tsk!

The city lord Ultra shook his head in his heart. It seemed that he still had to temper the temper of this little female orc and not let her cause trouble for Seth.

After some thought, City Lord Ultra actually began to mold Lilith. He would just put Lilith into the mold and shape her.

Even though Lilith didn't make any statement, and even her previous words showed a lot of rejection.

The city lord Ottla didn't take it seriously.

In the opinion of City Lord Ottla, Lilith's current attitude is not equal to her future attitude.

No.

Or should it be a "later" attitude?

The smile on the lips of City Lord Ottla showed a bit of condescending contempt.

City Lord Ottla believed that no one would refuse his arrangement.

If there is,

That must be a fool.

Are there any little orcs with extremely high talents... stupid ones?

Anyway, Ultra, the city lord, has never been seen before.

With such confidence, he also had the experience he had gained over the years in office.

As for Lilith, who was not yet an adult, the city lord Ultra actually did not take her seriously.

Although Lilith is indispensable in his plans.

Having sat on the throne of the city lord for many years, Otla is used to being high and mighty.

In his opinion, the friendly smile and words just now were enough to deal with Lilith.

Is it necessary to spend any time and effort on a young female beastman who is talented, young, and has never seen the world?

Not required.

He only had to show Lilith some benefits that she had never seen before, and use his status as the city lord to suppress her arrogance.

Isn't everything he thought of coming true?

Thinking of this, City Lord Ottla also began to admire his own vision and luck.

His eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked Lilith up and down without disguising his feelings.

Her outstanding talent, her background as a collateral branch, and her unambitious personality were exactly what he expected.

I think Seth would not object. City Lord Ottla nodded secretly.

At that moment, Lilith realized from the city lord's attitude that she seemed to have become a pig waiting to be weighed in a slaughterhouse.

She felt very uncomfortable.

But this "feeling" can only be your own "feeling".

In the face of class differences in status, the word "feeling" cannot stand up to scrutiny. Once it is spoken, it will become an "illusion" of overthinking in a matter of minutes.

Lilith had no choice but to endure it.

He looked away uncomfortably, no longer looking up at the Lord City Lord. He suppressed all his discomfort and continued to wait for the Lord City Lord's next words, hoping to find a breakthrough from them.

In fact, after briefly exploring Lilith's character, the last bit of hesitation in City Lord Ultra's heart was put aside.

Lilith was the final link in his plan.

This link can be fastened quickly.

City Lord Ottla had no doubt about this.

As a result, the city lord Ultra's face remained friendly, and his smile even grew bigger. Soon, the whole corridor was echoing with his laughter: "Hahahaha. It seems that Lilith, you are still a very humble little female beastman. Contribute or not, there will be opportunities in the future. As the city lord of Lila City, even if I favor you a little, you will not become arrogant." City Lord Ultra stopped laughing, looked at Lilith, and asked softly, "Really?"

Lilith's heart sank.

It is really difficult to answer the city lord’s question.

Lilith forced a smile and raised the corners of her mouth.

The city lord Ultra didn't care how Lilith answered or reacted.

He stood there with a warm and gentle look on his face.

With the mentality of completing the last step of the process, he looked down at Lilith below.

"Will you be my daughter, Lilith?"
