Loria wanders leisurely in the souvenir shop, where many orc-made crafts are on display, no more sophisticated than humans, but still worth a look because of their exotic characteristics. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, she didn't expect to be able to get an artifact from this rural shelter for a bargain...... Although such a thing is not completely impossible in terms of probability, what is the psychology of always expecting such a good thing to happen? Loria secretly scolded herself, is she extremely arrogant and dismissive of others as visionless idiots, or has she been desperate enough to make a fortune by relying on a low probability that is actually equivalent to impossibility?

In addition to the simple crafts that are a little distinctive but never sell, there are many strange things piled up in the corners of the store, such as bones carved with orc characters, strangely shaped stones, and even a black axe...... Presumably, these things must be the confiscated personal property of the orcs, Loria thought to herself, if the orcs had a habit of inlaid gold teeth, they would definitely be pried down by the guards here.

So, Do orcs have gold teeth?

In the end, Loria bought a fake snake made of wood for two silver coins, not because it was so vivid, but simply because it would be fun to put it in Hetty's quilt......

On the third day of Hetty's screaming fall from her bed, the country shelter was greeted with a rare crowd of people on chariots and horses, seemingly chaotic but distinctly two groups of people who seemed to be guarding each other.

The men completely ignored Miss Loria, who was crouching under the big tree at the intersection and counting the ants while quietly freezing the ants' legs with magic, and headed straight for the hotel of the asylum.

This is very abnormal, and most people will pay attention to her rare hair color...... None of these people looked at her, as if she were a bear child everywhere on the roadside.

Instinctively sensing that something more interesting was about to happen, Loria threw down the innocent ants and followed the crowd into the hotel.

It is not known whether it was because of the greater mastery of magic that inspired a strong sense of self-confidence, or whether she gradually adapted to her status as an eternal, and Loria began to enjoy the feeling of being a spectator...... It's very impolite that she has the attitude of watching other people's performances beforehand.

Without judging her little arrogance, the leaders of the two groups, two young men, squeezed up the stairs of the inn, and even pushed each other a few times, with a very clear purpose, and headed straight for Hetty and Loria's room.

After a bit of commotion, Loria, who had managed to squeeze in to see the excitement, finally figured out what was going on - and somewhere she got the news that Hetty's relatives (and perhaps her own) had come to greet her.

And those two groups of people who seem to have a lot of contradictions represent Hetty? The indifferent and occasionally hostile eyes of Miss Aberdeen's parents, her cousin and cousin, are worth savoring...... There is no need for detailed reasoning at all, and the core of the contradiction must be Hetty...... Or the status and property she inherited.

This kind of thing is so common, Loria is a little disappointed, she had hoped for some bloody emotional entanglement, but this is just a common conflict of interests in large families, just when she wants to continue to watch everyone's expressions and maliciously guess their unknown thoughts, Hetty pulls her out.

"It's ...... My friend. After a few heartfelt greetings and reminiscences, Hetty dragged Loria who was hiding in the corner and introduced Loria like her cousin and cousin, and interestingly, she used the word 'friend'.

Although she often falls into nervousness, Hetty is not stupid, and she wants to use Loria to divert her attention so that her relatives will not be overly obsessed with what happened in the past...... For example, how her brother, Enoch, who inherited the Duke of Aberdeen for a few months, died.

However, from the point of view of appearance, Miss Loria is just a cute looking girl who is not so cute that people will stare at her, and her greatest feature, her long pink hair, is not uncommon in Steinbrad...... In normal times, Hetty's relatives might still be interested in keeping an eye on Loria and telling dry jokes to tease her, but before the benefits, a loli is really insignificant.

Well, insignificant.

Loria curled the corners of her mouth, shook off Hetty's hand, and slipped back into the corner.

……

Grapes are not very delicate plants, and they are not scarce, they are widely cultivated from Stratholm in the north of Lordaeron to the plantations of the Stormwind Kingdom on the shores of the South Seas, but in terms of quality, the Hillsbrad Hills are the best.

Loria grunted down a small bottle of wine, a low-alcohol and high-sugar wine designed for a little girl, which was more apt to be called fruit juice than wine, and because of the high sugar that makes it difficult to keep fresh, it was expensive...... Although the long journey in the carriage bores her, and the constant jolting makes her little butt always ache, the inexhaustible supply of good drinks finally gives her equal solace.

"I can only trust you......"

In the middle of the carriage, Hetty grabbed Loria with her intact left hand, "I don't know what kind of difficulties I will encounter in the future, please help me." ”

She has always been ignored and hated by her family, and after losing her brother who has been standing in her way, she is about to take over the title of duke...... What will happen to you can only be imagined.

"Please don't embarrass me, I don't deserve your trust."

Loria shook off Hetty's hand, she didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, "For the sake of the same pink hair, I guarantee at most that you won't be killed in front of me." ”

Hettie looked a little sad, and she cried at last remembering her brother, who had always been kind to her, and his humble death.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about worldly ......," Loria sighed, reaching out and patting Hetty's head lightly, uttering a plausible hint: "In a few years, they will eventually be erased by time." ”

In the narrow, hilly nation of the first of the Seven Kingdoms to be removed, does the title of Duke lead to a better future?

However, Hetty has no ability to foresee the future, and Loria's vague comfort pales in the face of what might become a very difficult and lonely life.

The sobs finally slowed down to a soft sigh, but it didn't stop the convoy in the middle of the night from continuing towards the doomed capital. (To be continued.) )
