During the night, Lorna, who seemed to be unable to sleep, got up, walked out of the camp by herself, and sat down casually on a hillside by the roadside.

She propped her hands on the ground and looked up at the night sky, the shallow grass on the hillside gently pricked between her somewhat rough palms, and the evening breeze gently blew her pale blonde hair, revealing her beautiful side face.

"It's so late, and you still haven't rested?" a nonchalant voice sounded from behind her.

Lorna looked back and saw that it was Jill the lizardman standing under a tree with his hands folded.

"Ahh She tilted her face sideways and chuckled, "I can't sleep a little." ”

"Hmm. Jill nodded, replied briefly, and did not say anything further, as if to end the conversation.

Lorna turned her head back and looked at the night in the distance.

There was silence on the hillside for a while before Jill finally spoke again.

"Today, I saw that the retinue called Chu was wearing a badge. ”

It always speaks in this way and in pieces, because the lizardmen's vocal system is still different from that of humans.

"That's it. Lorna looked into the distance and said with a light smile.

"I found out a long time ago. ”

She seemed to know what the badge Jill was talking about, and she wasn't surprised.

"Then you should know what it represents. Jill's eyes showed a rare show of emotion, some helplessness.

It's been in the team for a long time, so it knows a little bit about Lorna, the captain of the team.

She is a very reliable person, both in combat and in peacetime. But in some cases, she will always seem very uncalm and irrational.

"The Hiscama family, I know. Lorna whispered.

What the wolf head badge represents, anyone who has seen it should know it.

The family it represents has many names, the Wolf Clan in the West, the Guardian Clan, the Wolf King Clan, and so on.

But no matter what the name is, it represents the respect of the people of the mainland for this clan.

Their people have spent almost their entire lives guarding the barren land in the west to ensure that the continent will not be infested by wild beasts.

And the coat of arms of their clan has become a symbol, a symbol used to praise the unchanging loyalty to death.

During today's chat, Chu said that there was nothing in her hometown, which had confirmed Lorna's suspicion that there was indeed nothing in that barren land.

"Then you should also know that between you, there will be no result. ”

Jill looked at Lorna with erect pupils, and although it was helpless, it thought it would be better to let Lorna see this earlier.

It's not that the Hiscama family makes Lorna unattainable, and that the character of that family should not discriminate against civilians.

But as a member of the Hiscama family, there is one thing that must be observed, both men and women must leave heirs, and they must pass on the bloodline of the West.

Coupled with the fact that they would never break their oath, there was no chance for Lorna from the start.

Jill thought Lorna didn't know this, but Lorna nodded calmly and said.

"Ah, I know that, too. ”

Jill was stunned for a moment, and Lorna's answer surprised it a little.

He didn't understand, if Lorna knew, why······

"I'm not like normal people, you know. ”

Lorna sat on the grass, as if remembering something, and whispered with a smile.

It's true that she's different from ordinary people, she likes people of the same gender as herself, but that's not something she can choose, is it?

"Because of this, no one has ever accepted my feelings. ”

Lorna said slowly, she was very different from the way she usually behaved in front of people, she was not so confident and not so nervous, she was very inferior and vulnerable.

Jill remembered the women Lorna had "harassed" in her previous mission.

In fact, Lorna just stepped forward to talk normally, and after getting along for a while, she expressed some slight affection.

But at that time, those women would look at Lorna with strange eyes, and then bluntly avoid contact with Lorna, and some would even terminate the commission relationship directly.

After that, Lorna would always giggle and touch her hair, saying oops, messed up again, or something.

Only then did Jill realize that they hadn't noticed at that time what kind of mood Lorna was feeling when she was treated like this. The feelings that are seriously gived are looked at by others in a weird light.

She may not have been as careless as they thought.

"Do you remember, that day, she said she didn't hate me. ”

Lorna laughed, her voice trembling and choking. In fact, she herself knows that it may just be a casual remark at the beginning, but for her, this sentence is very important.

"So I wanted to give it a try, just wanted to give it a try······"

She looked back at Jill, smiling, with some tears in her eyes.

"Give it a try, chase my love. ”

Chase it, the kind of thing she didn't expect in the first place.

······

"Whew. Jill sighed under the tree and said lightly, "Then, whatever you want." ”

"Hmm. Lorna patted her head and grinned, "Whatever I want." ”

"By the way, Lorna, in some of our ethnic groups, there is a very primitive way to establish relationships, which is to forcibly tie the confirmed object back to their cave, you, do you want to think about it. ”

Well, this is not uncommon in primitive lizardmen, but it is clear that it is not suitable for civilized society, and Jill is just joking.

But Lona really thought about it for a moment, and asked matter-of-factly.

"Well, how much chance do you think there is of success?"

······

The wind was blowing on the hillside, and neither Lorna nor Jill, who were discussing how to "tie up the ticket", noticed that on a tree not far away, the early half of the vigil was lying between the trunks.

She kept her eyes open and looked at the scattered leaves in front of her, and did not make a sound.

She had heard the conversation between Jill and Lorna, and she wished she hadn't, but who made her hear several times that of ordinary people. Of course, what they talked about afterwards was automatically ignored by her, because that was simply not possible.

However, as for Lorna, since it was her mistake, she had to find a way to make up for it.

As for how to make up for it, she still needs to think about it, first of all, it is definitely impossible to let Lorna misunderstand again, she has to make things clear, otherwise it will only make things more and more complicated.

Although she is not from the Hiscama family, there will definitely be no results between her and Lorna.

Secondly, she had to find a way to express it as tactfully as possible, if it was too straightforward, even she knew it badly, she had to find a suitable time and place.

At first she felt a little headache in her head, and she would rather fight ten more wars in the wasteland than think about these things. But it was clear that she didn't have much of a choice.

Can't, is it accepted······

Quiet road at night.

Chu sat on the trunk of the tree, looking at the moon in the sky, silently in a daze.
