MTL - Orc Predator-~ ☆Chapter Succession Ceremony
After skillfully fastening the tie, Ah Liu adjusted his shirt for the last time, raised his eyes to look at himself in the mirror, and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, immediately overflowing with murderous aura.
"Brother Six...Eh?" Ai Wende ran in, seeing the expression of the black-haired non-orc at this time, he couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help but take a step back. Fortunately, Ah Liu restrained his expression in an instant, and turned to look at the little female: "...Sorry."
"Brother, are you in a bad mood?" The little female blinked her eyes and asked cautiously after she calmed down. Ever since Brother Cecil came, Brother Ah Liu seemed to be in a bad mood.
"No." Ah Liu said lightly, and he stretched out his hand to touch the little female's head: "Let's go." The soft hair rubbed gently in his palm, and suddenly remembered the touch of Cedric's hand on his head , Through the heat and tenderness that could be felt on the hair, he was taken aback for a moment, then recovered, withdrew his hand and walked out of the room calmly.
Ai Wende touched his head, tilted his head in doubt, and left behind the black-haired non-orc.
The place chosen for the spring festival was still the hall during the Prayer Festival, not far from Cedric's home. When he arrived at the destination, he opened the door, but he didn't expect that there was a figure standing inside, with one hand raised as if Just about to open the door and walk out. Unexpectedly meeting Ah Liu's eyes, Cedric was taken aback for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled into a gentle arc, but before the smile spread, a small figure suddenly rushed up behind him.
"Catch it!" A blond natural female with the same exquisite face and clothes hugged the silver-haired orc's neck, and said in a coquettish tone: "It's clearly agreed to play hide-and-seek, and you can't escape halfway!"
"Please let go first." Cedric said with a gentle and gentlemanly smile on his face as usual, but there was a flash of anger in the depths of his dark blue eyes. As a member of the Augustinian clan, you must never be rude to any female, and you must never lay your hands on any weak female. The silver-haired orc squeezed his fists to suppress the anger in his heart, and didn't want to pay attention to the natural female behind him. He opened his mouth and was about to explain to Ah Liu, but he saw the latter walking past him with a blank expression. Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Ai Wende secretly glanced at Cedric, quickly took the door behind him and trotted behind Ah Liu.
"Ah Liu, wait, I..." With a sinking heart, Cedric quickly walked two steps and shouted. Hearing his voice, the black-haired non-beastman paused, tilted his head slightly, and through the drooping black hair, he could see Seeing the other party's exquisite outline and unwavering black eyes, it seems that there is no hard expression that can be shaken.
The silver-haired orc couldn't help taking another step forward, wanting to get closer to the black-haired non-orc, but two natural females ran over beside him, one unceremoniously held the orc's left hand, while the other looked shy and just kept quiet Standing beside him, obsession was revealed in his eyes.
"You lost, you can't afford to lose this time!" The natural female who was holding Cedric's left hand said with a smile, but Cedric didn't care to listen to him, only to see the black-haired non-orc in front of him softly "tsk" , turned and walked away without hesitation.
"Oh, the situation is not good! Poor." Les rubbed his chin, said gleefully as he passed by the entangled silver-haired orc, and gave the orc a sympathetic look by the way.
Cedric gave him a cold look, and the purple-haired non-orc shrugged at him and walked past him with a chuckle. The silver-haired orc ignored him, narrowed his eyes as he watched Ah Liu walking away, pondered for a moment and then smiled. It seems that he is not an orc, and he is very concerned about this situation... He touched his chin, looked thoughtfully at the natural females next to him, and his smile deepened.
The orcs and non-orcs in the hall are almost all gorgeously dressed, and they are completely incompatible with the non-orcs who are all black from head to toe. Looking for a corner to sit down, Ah Liu looked up at the two bored children sitting next to him, and said softly: "Go and play." Ai Wende looked at Ah Liu with some hesitation, but Ai Ruiwen couldn't care less Many, there are a lot of delicious and fun places not far away, he couldn't sit still here for a long time, after getting the permission of the black-haired non-orc, he immediately jumped out like an arrow with a cheer. The little female was startled by her younger brother's actions, she couldn't help screaming, her body moved instinctively to keep up, she ran two steps and then stopped to look at Ah Liu. Seeing that the latter did not respond, he hurriedly ran away after Ai Ruiwen.
Ah Liu didn't move, and there was no extra expression on his face. He picked up the jug and filled the wine glass expressionlessly, and drank it all in one gulp. All movements were extremely natural. Not far away, Cecil nestled in Francis' arms and secretly stared at the black-haired non-orc for a while, then looked at the silver-haired orc who suddenly had a lively chat with a group of natural females, frowned in puzzlement, and muttered Yu: "It's strange, why is there no movement, did I judge wrong? Impossible..."
Not knowing what the person in his arms was doing, Francis shook his head helplessly. Forget it, as long as the boy doesn't play too much.
A few minutes later, surrounded by several old men in white robes, a strong orc with blond hair and Cedric walked up to the altar one after the other. The former looks like a middle-aged man, with a burly body and sharp-edged faces, serious and intimidating; while the young man in the back tends to be slender and well-proportioned compared to other orcs, with a handsome face that is hardly inferior to that of non-beasts, and long hair Pi San even looks a bit feminine, always smiling. The appearance of the two is very different, if not for the identical dark blue eyes, no one would have guessed that they are father and son.
Under the eyes of everyone, Cedric was kneeling on the altar with his knees bent. The blond orc reached out to take something from the old man in white robe and wiped it gently on his forehead and face. Then he raised his hand and took off his right hand. Two rings for thumb and ring finger. The silver-haired orc put his hands together above his head, and the blond-haired orc put the ring in his palm, then patted him on the shoulder.
"Swear." The blond orc said in a calm but majestic voice.
"In the name of the God of Creation, Augustine is my glory." The silver-haired orc calmed down, holding the ring in his right hand and putting it on his chest, and said solemnly.
After swearing, Cedric stood up, bowed deeply to the middle-aged orc, and then put a ring on his thumb, cheers erupted immediately from the audience. According to the tradition, the formal patriarchal succession ceremony is completed, and the new patriarch must determine his future partner tonight, and the other ring is exactly the token left for his partner.
From the beginning to the end, Cedric did not look at Ah Liu's corner. And Ah Liu was also drinking on his own, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him. The cold reaction of the two of them made the people who knew them a little confused. Therefore, Les still had an expression on his face, Cecil hesitated for a while, but looked at his elder brother, and suddenly realized.
