Chapter 1867: Half-orc Babies in Warrior City

Warrior City, on the other hand, was also going on as usual, with its Lord studying a few scrolls filled with reports.

"There really are cubs...." Lord Valhalla mumbled when the reports came in. How rare were children among orcblood? It was even rarer to show more half-orc traits. In his case, it was showing, in Virion, it was very much hidden, even if they shared the same mother.

The orc blood of both parents was very diluted, though, so his case of showing any animalistic traits was extremely rare. Virion looked like a full human.

It was a good thing. Rather, regardless of whether or not an orcblood showed the features, it was a good thing. Each side had its advantage.

Virion was an exceptional elementalist, and having excessive orc blood would’ve discounted him from that.

After confirming a few things, the two royals headed to the waiting area that served the Teleportation Array.

Warrior City was connected to three territories as of this time, which was the maximum the system array could assign to. One was Holt City in the far west, and the other was Crystal City in the far South, right at the desert’s eastern borders. Another was one of the cloth cities, which were their main buyers for pelt.

The waiting area for the Teleportation array was quite luxurious. After all, this was among the first things that visitors using the arrays would see, and it was a matter of first impressions and pride.

Of course, many men didn’t really care for it. His mother, however, did. Perhaps it was because of her bird-blood, who liked beautiful things.

The waiting shed was a large open space with wide roofings and comfortable furniture. The floor was made of colored stones patterned in a way that grounded the space while also drawing people’s eyes to it.

The columns were rounded and inlaid with metallic inserts bought from Hassen City, and there was also a welcoming staff to serve some tea and snacks to them in case they had to wait there a while.

This was a manual building spearheaded by their late mother, in fact. It was unfortunate that she had died before it was completed.

She had always been delicate and gentle, the complete opposite of their father, even when they were both with orc-blood. Well, mother’s family was in the beautiful avian archetype, though they all looked human in the latest generations. Their mother looked quite petite, too.

In contrast, his father was born from the aggressive archetype. He also observed completely human, but he was heads taller than the average man. It was quite a combination.

Sadly, their mother grew weaker by the day, and especially after giving birth. She was one of the rare women who had a high chance of giving birth, so despite their father having a high level and even having aggressive orc blood, she still gave birth to two sons, which was much more than anyone else in the harem at the time.

Because orc blood find it difficult to conceive, the children were especially precious. Well, in their case. They were different from cultures that confused race too much. As long as they were their children, no matter their appearances, they would be treated well.

This was also why, if Valhalla could actually conceive, he would have had a harem as per tradition. But he was barren after suffering from the Fire Plague back then, and he didn’t want to destroy women’s future with that.

This was also why he had been pushing for his brother to...work harder and conceive already.

Virion had two women in his harem, though he barely gave them time of the day and he preferred to go out.

There were a few human women who had claimed they were pregnant with his seed, but those were easy to prove with a tool they had in the treasury.

Valhalla loved children and would love to see his nephews and nieces running around the palace. However, as time passed, he started fearing he’d die before he could see it.

Sigh.

"I haven’t seen a baby half-orc before..." Virion said. "Do you think the orphanage would be able to care for them well?"

Every city had its own version of an orphanage. In Warrior City though, they pretty much had a set path of helping their military prowess and would be trained from young.

Even those who did not have talent to fight would be part of the logistics team.
