The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 69 Queen's Wish



Humans are strange creatures, they fear things they can't control and only feel safe with things they can control.

The tiger that became the king of the jungle and the ferocious one was on the verge of extinction while the weak and cute cat had a growing population.

Maybe the right way for sylph it's not to become a tiger, but to become a lazy cat who just to have act funny and cute.

"Life is a gift, not a curse!" Different voices from the two people talking rang out in the cave.

All eyes were on the source of the sound, an elf standing in the middle of the crowd of monsters, wavy champagne hair flowing down to her hips. The tribal gold tattoo that adorned half of her face did not cover her beauty.

She is like a light in the midst of darkness and an oasis in the middle of the Sahara.

Nerphyl glanced at Moku and asked for an explanation.

Moku scratched his head and said, "uh.. she is my wife, her name was Nezena—"

Before Moku introduced herself further Nezena cut Moku's words with her voice crackling like she was about to cry "I'm Nezena, a preacher that Moku appoints to spread the religion of truth.

If you recognize my race then you know that I am a wood elf, not only that I am a wood elf ex-human slave. I was dumped by my master because he was tired of toying with my broken body.

p Queen Nerphyl I know what you will decide. You'd rather keep the sylphs as human pets than fight against them.

I don't blame your decision but I do insult and feel insulted by your decision to end your life for Sylph's safety!

You only think about your suffering and don't think about how Sylph you will leave.

Do you think Sylph's life would be better if you weren't around?

Don't use Sylph's safety as an excuse for you to escape suffering!

You are a queen! You have feelings! Not just a symbol of the existence of sylph! You are the leader that Sylph loves! Don't separate sylph from yourself!" Nezena's sobs echoed and could be heard filling the entire cave.

Everyone became silent.

Nerphyl's face turned red and she shouted in a deep voice at Moku "KuMoku! What the hell is this? Doesn't your wife understand etiquette? You scolded Lesnen for talking, now your wife is scolding me and saying I'm selfish—"

"My queen! What the elf said is true.. You don't have to sacrifice your life for us. We have to sacrifice your life for your sake!" Iathra stepped out of line and looked at Nerphyl with his eyes welling with tears.

"Iathra! What are you doing?! I'm not asking for your opinion—" Nerphyl glared at Iathra but her words were cut off again

"My Queen! What Iathra said is true, you are not only a symbol, you are also a sylph, and it is our duty to grant all your wishes!" Lesnen raised his voice.

"Lesnen!—"

One of the sylphs in the black wolf's body cut in, "Queen, we want you to be selfish, you have done the best for us, it's time for us to do what is best for you!"

One of the sylphs in the leopard's body joined in to speak "Queen! You are the one who accompanies me when I feel alone and scared in the middle of the scary Bog forest night. I will sacrifice myself to make your wish come true!"

One of the sylphs standing on Laya's shoulder also shouted "Queen! You were the one who comforted us while we were human's pets. You accompanied us when we were abused by humans. Queen! Let us also sacrifice for your sake!"

"Queen.."

"Queen.."

"Queen..."

Then one by one the sylphs in the cave spoke up. Until their voices unite in a request like a prayer to the one they love.

"QUEEN!! Tell us what you want and we will grant it even if we have to pay with our life!"

Nerphyl was stunned, she was speechless. Her tongue was locked and her mouth was agape.

"Nerphyl, you better open your eyes. And feel what your people really want" Moku said quietly.

Nerphyl could only nod stiffly, slowly opened her eyes, and she saw..

Dozens of dreams and memories of the sylphs reflected in her eyes. The beautiful memories the queen gave them.

When the night is pitch black, only the voice of the queen soothes their sleep.

When wild animals or mutated animals find their hiding place it is the voice of the queen who warns them.

When in solitude among the gazes of humans who stare at them like precious treasures only the voice of the queen accompanies them.

For sylph, Nerphyl is not just a symbol but their dreams, wishes, and love.

Nerphyl didn't stay still, tears streaming from her icy blue eyes, running down her white cheeks, dripping down her plain blue dress.

Her body trembled, all this time she felt burdened, she felt alone, and she felt it was her responsibility to make Sylph's life better. This is both a task and a curse for her.

But in her smallest heart, Nerphyl would still have the dream she had when she saw his mother's icy blue eyes for the first time.

Her mother's almost forgotten words echoed again 'Nerphyl you won't be alone sylph will be with you'.

She was never alone, she did not carry this burden alone, the entire sylph was her family, together they faced the reality of their small and weak bodies.

Together..

Nerphyl closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and wiped the tears that trickled down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry KuMoku for the ungraceful look you see on my face" Nerphyl's voice calmed down again.

"Well.. it's okay.. let your burden go once in a while it's healthy. So.. Nerphyl, what the queen of sylph.. No.. What Nerphyl the queen of sylph really want?" Moku smiled and looked at the queen who had returned to standing in his palms gracefully.

"I want to...

I want to see the whole sylph smile!

I want to see all the sylphs do what they want!

I want to see the whole sylph be what they want!

I want to see the whole sylph not be afraid anymore!

I want to see the whole sylph don't insult their little bodies anymore!

I want to see all sylphs become strong!

I want to see all the sylphs fight and battle!

I want to see all the sylphs behead humans who only think of us as their pets!

I want to see all the sylphs bathed in the blood of their enemies!

I want to see all the sylphs cheer for the upcoming battle!" Nerphyl smiled brightly and opened her arms wide.

"YES MY QUEEN!!!" suddenly the sound of the entire sylph echoed filling the dark cave.

"Well.. it's tall order.. but I will try to help sylph to do it successfully. By this means you join—" Moku smiled because he managed to get sylph to join them, but Nerphyl who had not finished speaking cut him off.

"I'm not done KuMoku, that's just what I want from the sylphs. As for you, I want..

I want you to keep your promise to find a way to seal the mutated animal's mana organ.

I want you to keep your promise to find a way for us to possess the mutated animal.

I want you to keep your promise to help us evolve." Nerphyl said in a demanding tone,

"I promise! If that's the case then sylphs will join—" Moku said with certainty, but once again Nerphyl cut him off.

"I'm not done yet.

I want you to promise not to use sylph as bait in future battles.

I want you to promise to give the sylph race the same position as the other monster races.

I want you to promise not to force Sylph to do something they don't want, if something is really important and only Sylph can do it, I hope you talk to me about this first.

And lastly, I want you to promise on your name to give me the same position as Nezena and your other wives" Nephryl demanded in an insistent tone.

Moku wiped the cold sweat that dripped down his forehead 'This is what happens if you bring a woman a glass of water but she unexpectedly asks for the ocean'

"Ok, I promis— wait a minute, what was your last wish?" Moku had a bad feeling.

"I want you to promise on your name to give me the same position as Nezena and your other wives" Nephryl repeated her wish.

"eehh.. What do you mean by that?" cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Don't you understand? I want to stay as queen. I don't want to remove 'Ne' from my name. I want to be the queen of the monster kingdom you are about to create. In other words, I want to be your wife.

You can't refuse this request KuMoku! All sylphs will only bow to me! If you don't make me queen then the other sylphs won't bow down to you!" Nerphyl threatened.

Her menacing little face looks cute and she lowered her body with her index finger pointing at Moku making her look cuter.

Even so, Moku's face turned pale. Not because of the threat from Nerphyl but because of imagining Nevare's reaction when they met later.

Not only did Moku break his promise to only be away for a days, but he also came home with two new wives.

One was an elf who was the enemy of humans and the other was a sylph that was no bigger than the palm of her hand.

Moku can only take a deep breath and accept his fate.

He often heard that his friends in the previous world were afraid to go home because they knew their wives would be angry. Right now he understood their feelings with the fear of going home in his heart.

"..Well, I Promise On My Name KUMOKU!" Moku said it out loud.

Nerphyl flapped her wings, flew up, and stretched out her right hand.

Moku welcomed Nephryl's right hand by pinching it with his thumb and forefinger.

"Welcome sis—.. Welcome, My Queen!"

It occurred to him, 'hmm.. don't sylphs reproduce through pollination like a plant?'
