A land of orcs with more men and fewer women

Chapter 92 Moonlight in the Cellar

Seth carried Lilith up the stone steps and walked to the wall in a few steps. He touched a machine button and turned it to the left twice and three times to the right.

While Seth was operating, there were harsh sounds of stones rubbing against their heads.

Lilith immediately covered her ears with her little hands, raised her head and looked up with her little face wrinkled and her teeth bared.

I saw several irregular holes slowly appearing on the originally tight cellar stone door.

The intervals between each hole are obviously arranged in a regular manner.

Beams of moonlight penetrated the stone door overhead and shot into the dark cellar.

Lilith and Seth were standing in this dark cellar, the only place where light shone through.

The beams of moonlight were thin and long, and the light beams gave off a shallow silver halo, and merged into one place when they fell on the stone steps.

There is a dry smell in the air, and the fragrance of flowers and fruits is floating in the air.

Due to the presence of a large number of wooden boxes and barrels, dust will inevitably accumulate even if they are cleaned in time. Occasionally, Lilith and Seth floated next to them, and they were invisible under the moonlight. It doesn't look sloppy, but looks like a naughty night elf.

Lilith couldn't help but rest her head on Seth's chest.

Seth looked down at Lilith and smiled softly, putting his palms behind her head to protect her.

From time to time, the sound of wind blowing grass penetrates through the hole and reaches the cellar. Together with the breathing of Lilith and Seth, it is the best symphony.

Place Lilith on the stone steps and sit down.

Seth also casually sat on the stone steps next to Lilith.

One of his legs was curled up, and the other was stretched out casually, straight over several stone steps below.

He put one hand on his curled thigh, supported his other elbow behind his back, and leaned his upper body lazily on the stone steps.

Compared to Lilith, who obediently put her two little hands on her knees and sat upright, taking up only two stone steps at most, Seth looked very casual and leisurely.

This was the first time Lilith saw Seth so relaxed.

The usual Seth is like a very tight bow. Don't you know what kind of arrow he wants to shoot? Where is the bullseye?

Lilith turned her head and took a closer look at Seth, who was sitting lazily leaning on the stone steps. His dark blue eyes curled up, and he smiled as if he wanted to drink honey, "Seth, you're like this. It's very different."

Seth stretched out a hand to pinch Lilith's little fleshy face and shook it: "What's the difference?"

Lilith looked up and down at Seth, who occupied several stone steps: "It's different everywhere. Seth here is more free."

Seth squeezed Lilith's hand for a moment, then he withdrew his hand, his face hidden in the shadows, only the red spar earrings beside his ears shimmered.

After a while, he chuckled: "Really?"

Lilith nodded, and then she followed Seth's example and leaned her back gently on the stone steps behind her.

But she was inexperienced. I didn't use the right force, I couldn't find the position, I almost missed the stone steps, I almost bumped my body.

"Pfft." Seth sneered and took action in time to help Lilith sit up in his own position.

"Ah~" Lilith leaned against the stone steps and looked up to find the stars. The position of each hole exactly corresponded to the location of a star, and several holes were empty.

Regarding this new discovery, Lilith called out to Seth: "Seth! Look! Every star is in a hole!"

Seth also looked up at the stone door, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yes. Every star has its place."

Lilith tilted her head, and there seemed to be stars in her eyes: "How did you discover this place?"

In Lilith's eyes, Seth didn't look like an orc who would go into the cellar.

He was either practicing outside the city or going to various banquets.

Seth sometimes visited the Cavendish home after attending luncheons. Sometimes I just rush to the Cavendish house to deliver something to Lilith before rushing to the next dinner party.

Once, when Seth took Lilith to Pence's house to eat ice cream, his servant Al hurriedly came over.

In the end, Lilith and Seth had to end their trip for the day in a hurry.

Lilith's question made Seth stare up at the stars in the hole for a moment.

Time seems to have traveled to eleven or two years ago...

At that time, Seth was just a little orc whose biological mother had moved away.

There is no mother's family, only the occasional attention from the city lord's father, but it has attracted dissatisfaction and vigilance from several brothers.

It was an afternoon when the sun was scorching the garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

In an unseen corner, several brothers stopped little Seth, who had not awakened his martial energy.

Although he was extremely talented, the opponent had a numerical advantage. They worked together and pushed little Seth against the stone wall... punching and kicking him.

Little Seth's shouting stopped when a servant passed by, but pretended that he had not passed by.

He kept it to himself. The stone walls of the City Lord's Mansion are really cold and rough.

As a young man, his little body was covered in bruises and bruises, wearing a stiletto.

At that moment, little Seth knew that what the city lord wanted was not a son, but an heir.

It was also that night that he discovered the cellar.

When the cellar door closed and everything fell into darkness, tears fell from little Seth's eyes.

But I don't know what triggered the mechanism, and the moonlight penetrated the only open hole and hit Seth on the stone steps.

He looked up and saw the stars in the moonlight.

He decided that he wanted to become stronger.

He wants to have his own place in this city lord's palace.

……

"Seth? Seth?" Lilith couldn't wait for Seth's answer. Seeing Seth sinking into bad memories, Lilith frowned slightly.

"Huh?" Seth came back to his senses, and the cold and solemn look on his face disappeared.

He turned his head and looked fixedly at Lilith's clear eyes with his bloody eyes. Then he lowered his eyes and said softly: "I found out after being severely beaten."

"Huh? Seth, do you still have times like this?" Lilith couldn't imagine that Seth, who was taller than her father, would still be beaten.

Lilith reached out to Seth, her fat white hand gently touched Seth's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

Seth's lips curled up on his face that was in the shadows. He turned his head and grinned at Lilith: "I lied to you!"

Lilith's eyes widened immediately, her face turned red with anger, and then she glanced suspiciously at Seth up and down.

Lilith turned back, leaned back on the stone steps, raised her little head to look at the little stars, and said softly, "I forgive you."

Seth was stunned, and turned to Lilith with his neck stiffened.

Lilith's fair and tender cheeks still had the redness that hadn't faded away just now. Thick eyelashes flutter, the tip of the nose is slightly raised, and the wings of the nose are slightly raised. Her light blond curls were messy and scattered on the stone steps.

A beam of moonlight happened to shine on her body, giving off a shallow halo.

"What?" Lilith turned to look at Seth.

Seth shook his head and leaned back on the stone steps.

The two little orcs looked at the stars quietly.

"Seth, what do you want?" Lilith asked suddenly.

Seth spoke without hesitation: "I want to become powerful, I want to have my own place like these stars, I want..."

you.

"Well? What do you want?" Lilith leaned her ear towards Seth, but she didn't hear Seth's last words clearly.

Seth raised his head: "Lilith, you will know later."

Lilith rolled her eyes at Seth.
