Chapter 21 Nice name!
Translator: Tchu
Afterward, Oaks told the pitiful creature and Shaar an epic story of a goblin that defied the violent rules and gathered the courage to resist the oppression (it was indeed oppressive).
Using all his accumulated languages skills, Oaks told his own story which sounded something like this:
The wilderness near this territory belonged to a goblin tribe which would count as one of the biggest clan in Primal Wildfire. It had a population of over a thousand and in Primal Wildfire it would count as a prosperous tribe. Not counting the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children, this tribe had more than 200 goblin soldiers.
This Princess Oaks was born in this goblin tribe.
According to Oaks, he was a handsome male in this goblin tribe, which was extremely rare for goblins.
(Well, hearing this, Shaar did not show any sympathy and burst out laughing for a moment and ridiculed him “you are considered as a handsome male? The aesthetic standard of you goblins is fucking weird!”
However when Shaar said these words, he discovered that the pitiful creature forced a smile while looking at him……)
Alright, the story continued……
Oaks’s tragedy was that he was born too handsome – in the standard of a goblin.
Certainly this was not the root cause. If it was merely because he was very handsome, then under normal circumstances, the biggest tragedy would have been that he married several goblin wives and then face the terror of family feuds every day.
However, his biggest misfortune was that he was born in this powerful goblin tribe. The feudal lord of this goblin tribe was brave in battle, had remarkable leadership, but had a problem that gave the rest of the tribe a headache:
His sex orientation was different than other goblins!
During the time when that feudal lord was choosing his wife, he looked at all young female goblins of the tribe and there was no one that he liked.
When that feudal lord finally saw the handsome Oaks – he was suddenly overwhelmed by passion and a huge fired started to burn vigorously in his chest……
Then, Oaks’ tragedy happened……
This kind of situation was not uncommon in the human world. In the human aristocracy, many nobles were homosexual men and this kind of sentiments was not partial specially. Many nobles even raised young boys for their pleasures and some were openly homosexual in the public. There are even rumours that his highness, the current crown prince of Byzantine Empire was it this circle……
But! But! But! But, they were the goblins!!!
Humans with gay feeling were often confused between elegance and pathos.
However since this thing happened to a goblin, it really made people speechless……
Furthermore ……The goblins actually did not have this kind of tradition!
As a handsome goblin male, Oaks was forced by the mighty feudal lord to become his princess and helplessly suffered this painful treatment. The victim himself yearned for freedom for his sex orientation since he was a normal goblin. Therefore, after enduring a period of such pitiful treatment, he finally decided to break free of this endless tragedy and took a step to free himself: Escape!
He rather abandoned his status as the tribe’s noble and instead started to wander the wilderness living like a hobo. He gave up the sheltered life of a princess to try his luck in this dangerous and unpredictable wilderness.
For a goblin, there was nothing more dangerous than becoming a hobo. In Primal Wildfire, goblins were small and weak. Without a tribe to depend on, alone their survival was always a struggle in this wilderness.
Nevertheless, Oaks still chose this path and from this point of view, he was a very dignified goblin.
