Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

This is something that is not mentioned in Cecilia's character background.

Fortunately, although Celine was sad, she did not dare to question Cecilia.

"I was on duty in the study at the time. One day, His Majesty wanted to find the quill you gave him when he was a child. I confused an ordinary quill with the one you gave him. His Majesty was very angry. It was you who showed up and said that it was better for you to train the stupid servant."

Cecilia felt that the scene at that time must be more dangerous than what Celine was describing now.

Cecilia could still imagine a little about the temper of Gallup and the original owner.

Cecilia did not respond, but listened to Celine continue, "I was taken back to the palace by you, and I thought that I would be subjected to severe punishment. Although you look domineering, you are still quite nice to us servants."

Celine said this, secretly observing Cecilia's expression in the moonlight.

Cecilia seemed not to notice her little movements.

Celine felt that she was too bold today to even say something that could cost her her life. She quickly tried to make amends by saying, "You were actually a very nice person before, but we were deceived by your appearance and really thought you were like the rumors out there..."

Cecilia laughed, "I remember what happened later."

Celine didn't know what to say for a moment, so Cecilia asked, "What kind of work can you orcs do?"

Cecilia found a detailed record of how the Peace Treaty was signed in the annals of the imperial palace, but she only saw a very concise summary of the subsequent events:

"After the signing of the Peace Treaty, the continent of Swester ushered in a bright future of glory and harmony."

This sentence doesn't seem to appear in history books.

It seems like the ending of a fairy tale book.

Before Cecilia had time to learn about the relevant policies, she left Petra.

Celine turned sideways to face the princess. "The things we orcs can do are still divided by our species. People like me who are less aggressive can work as servants in nobles' homes, be guides in public places, and do odd jobs in the Knights' Order..."

The jobs that Celine described were almost all jobs with a foreseeable end to their lives, and there was no chance of a turnaround or any ease.

"What about other species of orcs?"

Celine's eyes sparkled. "Other orcs can do a lot more work. Orcs like the wolf orcs and tiger orcs who are more aggressive can join the army. After they gain a certain amount of merit, their whole family won't have to go out to work anymore."

Cecilia was stunned, "What title can he get?"

Celine's eyes flashed with some doubt. "The kingdom does not allow any orcs to be promoted. Why are you asking this?"

Celine's answer extinguished the little hope that had risen in Cecilia's heart. It was an understandable answer.

If one orc can reach a high position, thousands and millions of orcs can reach a high position.

Just the fact that the whole family no longer has to go out to work makes the rabbit orcs in front of him envious.

Cecilia's eyelashes hid the expression in her eyes, "How old are orcs usually required to work?"

Celine shook her head. "I don't know. Usually it depends on what the higher-ups say. For example, if the princess feels that I'm too old and can no longer handle the work in the palace, you can give me a letter of return and I can go home."

As she spoke, Celine became nervous. "I don't mean anything else. Please don't misunderstand me. You can of course keep me in the palace..."

Celine's voice got quieter as she spoke.

Cecilia was silent.

If the superiors are unwilling to let these orcs leave, these orcs will have to work in their positions until they die.

What kind of sick policy is this?

"Do you know how long this policy has been in place?"

Celine shook her head. “These training teachers don’t teach us that. They only teach us practical skills.”

Cecilia sighed, "Where are your parents? Where are they working now?"

Speaking of this, Celine regained her spirits. She talked incessantly and even felt sleepy as she spoke.

But because the princess was still asleep, she didn't dare to sleep. She forced herself to stay awake and spoke haltingly.

Cecilia didn't expect that this little girl had so much perseverance. Some light was already coming through the window. Cecilia couldn't bear it, so she cast a sleeping spell on Celine.

"Goodnight, Celine."

After listening to what Celine said, Cecilia couldn't sleep even more.

It is indeed a very strange thing that no matter how many years the so-called orc policy has been implemented, it has not caused any resistance.

Orcs are only slightly different from humans in appearance, and have inherited the characteristics of their own species of animals. Like Celine, she moves very fast.

In other respects, they are almost the same as humans.

There are kind-hearted orcs, and there are cruel and ruthless orcs.

There are ambitious orcs, and there are ordinary and comfortable orcs.

There are lazy orcs and there are hardworking orcs.

This was the appearance of the orc race that Cecilia had seen before.

They have their own leaders, their own political power, and their own classes.

But from Celine's description of the current orcs, Cecilia couldn't tell the difference between them.

Cecilia had an inappropriate metaphor in her mind -

They are like objects processed from a factory. Although their individual appearances are different, in reality, each of them can be replaced by other orcs at any time.

They no longer have independence or dignity.

Yes.

The way they survive is by relying on human breath.

If humans are willing to be nice to them, their situation will be a little better.

If humans are unwilling to be kind to them, their situation will become worse.

Cecilia lay in bed, unable to understand how a race that was once so glorious and had once ruled the continent of Swist could have completely lost its ability to resist.

This is the situation of the visible orcs, but what about the invisible dwarves and giants?

Cecilia always had a bad feeling.

When it was bright, Cecilia got out of bed carefully.

Thanks to the fact that travel clothing has become much simpler, you can put it on without the help of others.

Cecilia walked into the living room and saw that the servants of the manor were still working in their previous positions.

Cecilia was stunned. These servants were not bound by the orcs' policies and were still working hard?

What happened to this world?

Do you all love your work so much?

Valken appeared out of nowhere, "Your Highness, I asked them to prepare breakfast. You can order it to be served anytime."

Oh, that makes much more sense.

It was not the first time that Cecilia felt that Valken was a very careful and responsible person.

Although sometimes I get stuck in a rut.
