Nothing Happened — Part 1
Immediately after the liberation.
Camilla’s wandering was brief.
“What should we do…?”
In the blink of an eye, she had lost the paradise she once enjoyed just by having an orc’s cock.
Even when she did nothing at all, she felt anew that being pampered by Gornakh simply because she was beautiful had been paradise.
“Hmm….”
Camilla was a smart woman.
Smart, or perhaps cunning was closer to the mark.
“Shall we start everything from scratch?”
The Flower Garden of Gornakh had contained so many high-status and important figures.
Consequently, the information about Gornakh’s Flower Garden had already been completely agreed upon and burned away without remainder.
In some circles, the information had been so notorious in the Human Realm that even those who knew parts of it had been executed to the very neck—naturally, so the matter was.
Unless they themselves revealed it, it would never see the light of day.
Camilla had no need to be called anything other than a suitable nun from the battlefield.
This isn’t so bad…
Camilla changed her identity to a nun who had survived on the battlefield to the end, healing the enemy allies as they retreated.
She simply added a touch of her own to the disguise prepared for them, and becoming a nun devoted to the battlefield was no difficult task.
And it had gone surprisingly smoothly.
Her divine power had never been poor, and her political acumen had shone.
Her divine power had actually grown stronger.
I will support you.
At the time, the pope candidate who seemed to have the lowest odds was the one she supported.
Of course, it had not been a gamble made without any investigation.
She had used the name value of the saint on the battlefield.
He had never lacked talent in the first place, so when combined with her political cunning, he became the pope.
And the pope, as a reward and a measure of control, assigned her as the Heretic Judge.
Of course, the position of Heretic Judge was one that could not be called a lowly post; its power was absolute, even greater than that over ordinary citizens.
In truth, even if she beheaded someone in that position, the matter would end with a ruling of heresy.
But inside the Church, it was not a position where one could aim for the pope’s neck.
The pope had even become suspicious of her because of her meticulous Camilla.
But that too had been what Camilla had been aiming for.
If I live in luxury and look down on others, that will be enough.
She harbored no ambition to become the pope or to seize real power and rule the world as she wished.
As long as it was a position that was luxurious and allowed her to look down on others, it would do.
Thus, it had been peaceful.
But people get bored when they do nothing, don’t they?
The first female pope…
Isn’t there something you’ve wanted to try at least once?
The saint was chosen by the gods, so there was nothing she could do about it, but the pope was chosen by human hands.
And the current pope was getting old.
Not right now, but there wasn’t much time left.
The first female pope.
For that, power would be needed.
****
During the time of her pondering, shocking news arrived.
When told that an orc named Gornakh was serving as the diplomatic envoy of the Demon Realm, she immediately came up with an idea.
“Let’s use that envoy.”
“What? But it’s that orc! What kind of trouble could arise….”
“I’ve heard a story, so if you do it as is, there won’t be any major problem.”
Everyone avoided approaching anyone other than the party itself upon hearing that the orc was the representative of the envoy.
She had been aiming for that.
The Demon King was apparently more calculating than one might think.
But that applied only to those who did not know Gornakh.
More precisely, only to those who knew about the women around Gornakh.
My master wouldn’t do something like that.
Perhaps she should say he was humanly rational.
Aside from his greed for the body and women, he made surprisingly rational judgments.
So, rather than that, these people who were trying to use them probably hadn’t experienced it before.
This is an opportunity.
Gornakh hadn’t used himself thoroughly, had he?
Now was the time to use him.
Master… no, Gornakh… how should I seduce him…?
Camilla recalled Gornakh.
Gornakh’s head, unlike that of a typical orc, ranked high among humans.
So shallow schemes wouldn’t work; she would have to prepare thoroughly.
And his body was far more sturdy and strong than other orcs’.
Just thinking about the thing he had beneath it…
Tremble♡
Her body still remembered the past.
The master she had served most faithfully in the past…♡
No.
Camilla lightly slapped her own cheek as if to scold herself for the strange thought.
Come to your senses, Camilla.
But the times had changed.
Although her body still didn’t forget, she had bought a dildo that resembled her master and used it… but Gornakh was no longer her master.
I must use everything I can…!
She steeled her mind and erased the dildo secretly kept in one corner from her memory, then thought.
Gornakh would head to the envoy across the entire country.
Make him owe you a debt right from the starting point, and if even one word of gratitude spilled from his lips…
Her status would rise in an instant.
Based on that, she would eliminate the other candidates…!
It wasn’t even a dream.
And the plan went smoothly.
And finally, she executed it…
Why is that woman staying attached to Master?
Camilla couldn’t understand.
After all, she had been the one running away.
But it didn’t matter.
She wasn’t just a high-ranking figure of the Church; she was the one who could drive her straight to heresy in one go.
Of course, even though it was annoying that the one who had stuck to Master first despite pretending to dislike him was Valeria, she wouldn’t actually accuse Valeria of heresy.
She would simply tell Gornakh that there was a reason and that she could do it.
And then wrap it up by saying she had mediated well.
If there’s still dissatisfaction, I can just hand over the Heretic Judge position.
She had planned it so perfectly…
Why… why is the succubus here…?
This space should have been one she alone knew…!
You troublemakers again!
She even found the one who had been hiding before; is there some kind of sensor I don’t know about?
She had been trying to catch the weakness and shake it, but instead she was caught in this information…
Obviously, the succubus—the loyal and treacherous secretary of this orc—would have passed on this information somehow.
I have to get rid of it….
****
“Gornakh-nim, may I borrow you for a moment alone?”
When the nun covering her face called to her, Gornakh looked at the nun with a surprised expression.
“What is it?”
“The succubus has defiled our holy place.”
I told you to investigate without being caught….
Gornakh felt a headache as if he had unconsciously touched his head.
“So what do you want?”
“Just let us execute that succubus.”
“What?”
“In return, I will make it as if I never heard of Valeria’s interrogation at the moment.”
Her face remained veiled, so her expression was unclear, but with a smug smile, she spoke a great deal, creating an intense sense of unease.
“So you want me to hand over the succubus right now?”
“Yes.”
What exactly had she done wrong to behave like this?
“First, can I at least speak with the imprisoned succubus?”
“No.”
From the very beginning, the tone had been decisive.
But no matter what, it was strange.
Unless the succubus had urinated on the holy place, how could she have defiled it in such a short time?
It felt as though they were in too much of a hurry to handle it.
Even if she was acting casually and pretending to be really firm, there was a movement that seemed to be hiding something.
“No, that won’t do.”
“……Yes?”
“First, that woman is a double agent of our envoy.”
“No, I’ll tell you right away that Valeria-nim is not a heretic.”
“That’s one thing.”
However much she boasted, she was still a comrade.
She couldn’t easily discard a comrade.
More than anything—
“First, bring her here quickly so I can at least hear what she has to say.”
That was information enough to let go of Valeria, whom I had originally been about to ask about.
She was openly proving that they had obtained even a secret that she couldn’t speak, in such a short time.
“If I refuse…?”
“Are you truly okay with Valeria-nim becoming a heretic?”
However, Gornakh remained unmoved.
****
This is troublesome…
Camilla barely managed to hide the sweat that had broken out thanks to her.
If she had been discovered by someone else, she could have buried it with the life, but the succubus who was in an important position within the envoy…
I have to find a way quickly….
Camilla smiled outwardly, but inside her blood was freezing.
If that gets out…
She tried to ignore the uneasy thought of what would happen.
“Then how about this?”
Since nothing has been discovered yet, we can somehow smooth it over.
