Gorgia University had a tradition of selecting its twelve most beautiful female students as the Twelve Goddesses because the God of Elves had twelve female divine attendants.
They were: the West Wind Goddess, the Laurel Goddess, the Forest Goddess, the Goddess of Favor...
Incidentally, the Goddess of Favor took the form of a catwoman and was also the source of Cat Elf Magic.
Sheffield University had the same tradition, naturally because Lady Black Moon also had female divine attendants under her command.
Charlotte could not help saying, "How could a graduate of Gorgia University become an assassin?"
Dorothy said nothing, but Frederica gave a cold laugh and asked, "Have you ever seen an orc civil servant at the Central Government Office?"
Charlotte immediately fell silent. He had not merely never seen an orc civil servant; he had never even heard of one. And he understood why there were none.
The discrimination against orcs throughout the Empire ran deep to the bone.
Having orc blood in the Old Continent was no point of pride. After the Orc Kingdom was wiped out, its people had been scattered and displaced, treated as inferiors in every nation.
Louis Smythe had once complained, "No young lady from the Brittany family would ever befriend an orc. Even a trace of orc blood would be unacceptable."
The irony of it was almost laughable.
Humans worshipped goddesses who looked like orcs.
They even used the titles of goddesses with orcish forms to address the most beautiful girls at university, treating it as an honor.
Yet they discriminated against orcs...
Charlotte came to his senses, gave Frederica an Imperial salute, and said, "I'm sorry. I've never liked thinking too hard about things that have nothing to do with me."
"It wasn't that I didn't know orcs were discriminated against.
