Singh and Katerina were stunned when they heard me say this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Singh was the only one who defended himself, saying, "He's good! And I'm going to get married." I feel good to be able to find someone who I like, who likes me so much, and maybe it's because of Lady Luck's favor for me. ”

Probably seeing my confusion, Caterina realized that I was too young to understand many things, so she patiently explained to me: "You grew up in the convoy, maybe not until the laws of the Grimm Empire, these may be learned in school in the future." The Grimm Empire's legal code requires that all women who have reached the age of fifteen can get married, and those who have reached the age of twenty-five and have not yet married will be guilty of being unmarried, and the Imperial Population Inspectorate will punish families with unmarried women who are overage, and will also force the marriage to men, which is the worst. ”

"Ahh

Caterina opened her mouth wide at my question, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

Singh thought for a moment before he said to me, "The law that Katerina said is only for women. There is also a men-only rule that requires all men to join the army before the age of twenty-five, and to serve at least three years of military service. Otherwise, the family property will be confiscated and hanged as a deserter. ”

"All...... All of them?" I pointed to myself.

Singh nodded affirmatively and said, "If you want to live in the Grimm Empire, you can't avoid three years of military service. ”

"Does a war kill people?"

I asked one of the more idiotic questions, and Singh was rather speechless and said, "Of course, many young people die every year." Otherwise, how could it be possible to make the ratio of male to female population in our Green Empire 2:5, and in some places it may be even higher. The barbarians would take the men to mine, and the lizardmen of the swamp would take slaves every year......"

"The situation of the Grimm Empire is better, I heard that the Etia Empire in the Western Continent needs to serve at least six years of military service. Katerina added from my side.

It is precisely because of the successive wars that the population ratio of the Grimm Empire is so out of balance, and there will be a damn rule that all women will be punished if they do not marry at the age of twenty-five, and all men will be punished if they do not join the army before the age of twenty-five? I was a little dumbfounded after listening to this, it seems that human beings are not in a good situation on this magical continent, and they are not a powerful race! The country needs a population, women are forced to get married, soldiers are needed to defend the country, and men are forced to go to war. I can imagine that in such an empire no one would ask, "Do you love this country?" but would ask: Do you want to live?

"Then Sister Singh, ...... you" I suddenly asked if Singh was overage, and was caught by Singh in the middle of speaking.

Singh sighed again and said: "That's right, I'm twenty-four years old this year, if no one marries me before I return to the emperor at the end of the year, my family will be punished, and even my father will be whipped, and I may be married to someone I don't know and don't know him."

"Do you love him, then?" I was referring to Uncle Fred, and Singh apparently didn't know why a five-year-old had so many things in his head that he didn't know how to explain it to me.

The word "love!" is said with certainty and without hesitation.

I guess it should be true love!

Sister Singh smiled a little warm and sweet, and said to me: "You may not understand what I said now, but you will slowly understand it when you grow up." It is said that the children of the orcs will be more mature than the human children, and you were raised by the orc witch doctor himself, and you are much more sensible than the younger brothers in my family, and you Uncle Fred have the charm of a mature man, that is a kind of ...... Oh! It would give me a sense of security, gentleness, attentiveness, and very competence, and honesty, reliability, and having served in the military, and I would not have to endure the torment of waiting at home for his safe return from the battlefield. ”

I shook my head and said to Singh, "Sister Singh, what you said is not love!"

Sometimes, I also feel that it is a very discordant thing for a child of my young age to discuss love with two beautiful women who are in the best stage of their lives. How weird it can be when a five-year-old child comes out of his mouth a lot about life.

I said out loud, "Love is pure love, and there is no reason for it!"

The two women looked at me dumbfounded, I sometimes feel that I am special, originally this topic is just to talk about the happiness of two people, and finally let me turn to the question of what love is, I also feel that I am too for a while.

"What did the old orc witch doctor teach you?" the redhead asked me, laughing.

I thought they must be thinking about this at this point: is this the philosophy of the orcs? You can live without bread, you can live without milk, but you can't live without love, or maybe you have bread and you have milk, you can have love? But anyway, I think Singh loves Uncle Fred, and then he talks about me.

"Jia, will you stay in the orc tribe and follow the old orcs in the future?" Caterina blinked her beautiful red eyes, perhaps tired, lying beside me, her soft red hair covering her white face scatteredly, her lips slightly open and bulging outward, and her two white teeth could be clearly seen. She was so close to me that the heat from her mouth could even squirt into my face.

I shook my head in frustration, thinking that I would eventually be separated from old Kuru and Kuzi in the near future, and I was a little reluctant to be separated from the old Kuru and Kuzi in the near future, and I was also ignorant of this magical world, and I panicked when I thought about it, if Sister Guoguo didn't take me in, would I have to wander alone? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but whisper: "Sister Guoguo may be willing to take me away, I can't be a wanderer for the rest of my life." ”

"Aren't you going back to the imperial capital with us?" asked Caterina expectantly.

I shook my head, and said to myself, it seems that this is not something for me to decide. I have to live, eat bread all the time. What does the emperor have? He just said: "Sister Guoguo's home is in Biel City, we will go there first!"

"Then you will remember to look for me in the future, do you like red-haired girls, and I can introduce you to my sister, who is a clever and beautiful little girl, and who does not have the obnoxious red eyes of me. "Caterina drew me a flatbread, and she said it seriously.

I smiled and agreed, "Okay, is there any school in the imperial capital, maybe I can choose to go there!"

The caravan suddenly jolted violently, and Singh stepped out to check on the situation.

"Hah, don't you know that the most famous Grimm Royal Academy in the Empire is in the Imperial Capital, but it's notoriously difficult to get into, Jia, what do you want to do in the future?" asked Katarina curiously.

"O magician!" I replied truthfully.

Caterina laughed, though I didn't think it was funny. She continued: "Yes, everyone wants to be a magician, as long as there is a chance! What about the others? The awakening ceremony will not make you awaken the magic pool just because you are a handsome guy, it takes a lot of luck, always think about what to learn if it doesn't work!"

I thought about it and said, "I might be a craftsman, I want to be a tanner!"

Caterina was a little disappointed, but whispered, "Oh, in that case, Sloitt Ivory Tower Career College might be better." The Royal Academy of Imperial Green is most famous for the War College and the School of Magic, Business School. ”

"War College ......"

If two people feel that they are in love, then there will always be endless topics to talk about. Easy-going and passionate, Caterina is always looking forward to the day when she can live a different life, and she has been working hard to prepare for it. She hopes that she can marry a big hero, but it depends on Qi Niang's choice, as Qi Niang's personal maid, many things will definitely not be left to her own thoughts, including her own destiny. Caterina smiled reluctantly when she talked about her home, with a hint of bitterness in her eyes, and Caterina said that Singer was the happiest of all the dancers in the company because she had found a home for herself.

I've always wondered where Singh's happiness comes from, and I've thought that it won't be because I found my meal ticket before the age of twenty-five and just play silly all day, it turns out that the dancers in the dance troupe are rarely free, and most of the dancers in the dance troupe are from untouchables, vagrants, and slaves, and many of these people have signed contracts of sale, and the so-called freedom requires a high price, not enough money to redeem yourself, and you also need the nod of the dance company lady. Not only do the girls dance on various occasions, but they are also assigned to private balls as backing dancers, attend private banquets, drink with people, and even be asked to stay overnight when the price is right.

There are also some girls with free identities in the dance troupe, like Qi Niang. She worshipped the eldest lady in the dance troupe to learn dance as a teacher, even the eldest mother did not dare to force Qi Niang to do things, and there were some girls who had a certain reputation in the imperial capital before defecting to the eldest mother, they were invited to be the pillars of the dance troupe, some of these girls are free of identity, and some of them are cultivated by the eldest mother of the dance troupe, and these people form a huge dance troupe.

Girls like Singh or Katerina, who are both dancers and maids, make up the majority of the troupe, and they are all contracted. The difference between Singh is that he once saved Qi Niang once when he was in Black Iron City, and later Qi Niang asked her what she wanted, and she chose freedom. Willingly gave up the life of fine clothes and food in the dance troupe to marry a tanner.

I later asked Katarina: If you had a chance like Sister Singh in the future, would you give yourself the freedom to choose?

She thought about it for a long time around me, but in the end she didn't answer me.

Later, Singh returned to the room and said to me, "Jia, the dance has been rehearsed, Qi Niang invites you to go up!"
