## Chapter 952 – How Long Has It Been?

Roughly, those were the days that passed.

After planting seeds to my heart’s content at home, I went outside and planted seeds there too.

The Saintess had me clocking in at her place, and she craved my cock as if she wanted to completely relieve her work stress.

To be honest, her skills weren’t that great, but I was just happy that she was working hard on top of me. Anyway, she kept asking me to praise her beauty and abilities, and I took care of her mental state as requested.

One peaceful day,

“Paladin.”

The Saintess, who was lying next to me, raised her upper body and said, picking up a pack of cigarettes from the shelf next to the bed.

“The Holy Knights who were dispatched to the borderlands have returned.”

Then, she naturally took out a cigarette and continued.

“Oh, is that so? What did they say?”
“The palace has disappeared. Like other alien structures.”

It disappeared after all.

“What about the damage?”
“Since the subjugation was completed, there was no additional damage. And the minor dispute with the elves was also resolved well, I hear.”

That’s a relief.
It seems everything has been resolved.

“That’s a good thing. I’m very glad it didn’t escalate into something bigger. Our Paladin has worked very hard.”
“Hehehe, it’s thanks to me and my women’s efforts.”
“Hmm, that’s certainly true. Anyway.”

ㅡPhew.

She took a deep drag and exhaled, and smoke spread out.
She smokes so deliciously next to me.

“This is a story passed down from the Royal Knights Order, but it seems there was talk of renewing the agreement with the elves on this occasion.”
“An agreement, you say?”

An agreement with the elves?

“There hasn’t been a chance to talk until now, but this alien palace incident must have made them feel the need to renew the agreement. I heard the elves brought it up first.”
“Oh, is that so?”

Those elves are the ones who suggested renewing the agreement first?

Certainly, there’s a chance that such an incident could happen again, so they need to take action.

They almost caused a dispute by fighting unnecessarily.

If an incident occurs, you must take measures and prevent it. This is a procedure that must be implemented for an organization to function. A group that ignores this will not last long.

Those elves must have brains too, so they must be thinking about it.

“Isn’t that a good thing? It’s good to live without conflict, even with other races.”

I, Kim Kkat, am an anti-war activist.
We must not fight just because we are of different races!!!

“I agree. Humanity has too many enemies. But… the elves mentioned the Paladin’s story.”
“Yes?”

They’re looking for me?

“Didn’t you receive a World Tree entrance ticket?”
“Ah, yes. I did. I put it away safely at home.”

I put it in the warehouse.

“So, they said, how about using the Paladin, who has entrance rights, as an envoy? It’s a really embarrassing situation. The elves are the ones who requested it first.”
“An envoy, you say?”

Me?

I might be good as a killer envoy, but a normal envoy is a refusal from my end.

More than anything, an agreement?
I don’t know shit about that kind of thing.

National-level matters are definitely not something I can handle with my blabbering. I’m a professional at killing, threatening, or torturing, but in the field of constructive diplomatic policy agreements, I’m just a three-year-old snot-nosed brat.

The moment I do diplomacy, the country is doomed.
It falls into hell.

That’s why they spend a lot of money to educate and train professional diplomats. Diplomacy is not something you can do just by relying on the reputation of the Paladin. Everyone has different areas of expertise.

“There’s no need to make that face. Of course, it’s something that an expert should do.”
“That’s the obvious thing.”
“Perhaps they just want you to be in charge of conveying our demands to the center of the World Tree… It’s not confirmed, so just keep it in mind.”
“Yes… I understand.”

But convey it?

“Well, why do we need such a troublesome procedure? I think we can just meet at the border and make a deal.”

It sounds like they can’t make a deal unless they deliver it.

“That’s because the Paladin doesn’t know about elven society.”
“Please tell me.”
“First of all, to explain, the elven queen is a shaman who worships the World Tree.”

A queen and a shaman at the same time?

The World Tree is a living deity and object of worship for the elves, so does the priest become the king?

In short, it’s a real divine right of kings.
The World Tree must be giving the royal authority.

“The elven royal authority comes from the World Tree. Therefore, all power belongs to the queen, and the diplomatic authority that comes with it is also only hers.”
“Yes… but is there something wrong with that?”
“The elven queen cannot leave the side of the World Tree. That’s why they said you have to deliver it in person.”
“This is crazy…!”

That’s insane confinement!!!
People have freedom of residence!!

“You could say that she can’t leave the capital because she is the elf closest to the World Tree. Well, even this Saintess doesn’t know the details. I just know that’s how it is.”

Maybe it’s a plot to confine a shitty person under the guise of being a queen.

No, but when I think about it, even priests of primitive tribes who were deeply immersed in animism on Earth were restricted from such freedom of residence.

Does that mean the worlds where people live are all the same?

Elves probably don’t think much differently from humans.

“To put it coldly, elves are crazy fanatics. Believing in such absurd things and confining the king? They must be completely out of their minds.”
“Are we really the ones to talk!”
“At least our Holy Knights aren’t out of their minds, are they?”

This is what happens when you’re an office worker and don’t know the field.

“That’s because the Saintess hasn’t seen it. The illusion dance I showed at the martial arts tournament is nothing more than a cute dance by little kids compared to the real Holy Knights.”
“Hmph, that’s a funny thing to say. The Paladin is really good at using exaggerated rhetoric.”
“Ah, it’s true, but you don’t believe me.”

Anyway, to summarize, since the elven plenipotentiary cannot move, it is necessary to go to the World Tree in order to have diplomatic negotiations with the elves.

In the human kingdom, a diplomat who has been delegated authority by the king can go and do it, but it seems that the elves can’t do that.

It seems that the queen, who is the shaman of the World Tree, must do it directly.

Since they are worshiping a living god, they may be reacting extremely to divine power and royal power.

How can a mere human act as an agent of God’s will? Is that what they mean?

“But then how did they negotiate treaties in the past?”
“This Saintess doesn’t know much about that either. The Karga Kingdom made an agreement with the elves a long time ago… Maybe they handed over diplomatic documents to the elves.”
“Such an absurd thing?”

Instead of an envoy directly conveying a diplomatic document sent by the king, they have the other side’s elves deliver it? That doesn’t make sense.

“The elves were stronger in the past. The elves were less affected by the Idol War than humans. Well, just keep that in mind. Relax. It’s just a story that came up.”
“That’s true.”

Me going to Elven Forest as an envoy… I can’t imagine it at all.

Of course, it’s just a story that has come out.

It will take more time to actually proceed with the negotiations. Above all, am I the only suitable person? Unless those guys are obsessed with the World Tree entrance ticket, my turn won’t come.

“But the important thing is that the alien palace incident is over.”
“We should have a party.”
“I think you can have the Holy Knights do that.”

That’s not the important thing.

“Can you handle the reward you’re going to give me?”

I asked while stabbing the Saintess’s waist.

“Oh? Haven’t you used this Saintess’s body to your heart’s content?”

This older sister is trying to pay with her body again.

“When you think about it, I think the Saintess has used my body more. Why is your face so shiny, huh? Where did your tired face go?”

When I reached out and touched her face, the Saintess closed her eyes, placing her hand on top of mine.

“Hmm… enjoying healthy sex seems to be really good for beauty. It was a very good time. Thanks to you, my head feels very clear.”

Just a moment ago, she was casting heals on her uterus and going for hours.

“Isn’t it usually the opposite when you’re immersed in carnal desire?”
“What are you talking about? Do you think physical pleasure is bad?”

It’s not that.

“Excessive pleasure will definitely drive people to ruin, but this level of healthy sex actually increases work efficiency. You could say it’s the lubricant of life.”
“I completely agree.”

But healthy sex?

I can’t think of enduring with heals while being fucked for hours as healthy sex.

“Ah, since we’re talking about pleasure, there was something like that.”

The Saintess snapped her fingers as if she had suddenly remembered something.

Are you daring to change the subject?

“This is a very old record, but there was a time when we annihilated a new religious group that worshiped succubi.”
“Succu, what?”

A new religion?

“It’s very rare for a demon gate to open, but it’s no different from a natural disaster like a typhoon, so it opens from time to time.”
“I know that much.”

It’s common sense.

“Maybe it was a succubus that came over at that time. It settled in the city. As you know, succubi are monsters that corrupt humans with sexual pleasure. And humans are quite vulnerable to sexual pleasure. Of course, there was a time when a religion that worshiped it was created.”
“That’s terrible.”

Let’s keep our Hilde quiet for now.

“If they were just enjoying orgies among themselves, we probably wouldn’t have been able to arrest them. They’re just people who are addicted to pleasure and get together to enjoy sex, so it doesn’t make sense to find something like that. Above all, they’ll hide it from each other, so you won’t be able to tell.”

It’s not like they’re advertising that they’re having orgies, so if they secretly gather among themselves, they won’t get caught. So, was a sex religion born with a succubus as its center?

“Succubi gain power from such sexual pleasure. They absorb energy from organized orgies. But at some point, the act of pursuing that ‘sexual pleasure’ became overheated in the wrong direction.”
“Overheated… did abnormal lust run rampant?”

The Saintess nodded.

“Missing person reports skyrocketed. While investigating that, we discovered the cult group… it was a pretty terrible record.”

Some people’s abnormal desires are truly demonic.

In fact, Belgians often felt sexual pleasure from torturing Congolese blacks alive.

It’s probably something like that.

“Ordinary soldiers couldn’t handle demons. The succubus ran away immediately, but because its existence was eventually exposed, the Holy Knights were able to track it down and kill it.”
“That’s a relief.”

Our Hilde is kind, so she doesn’t do that kind of thing.
All bad succubi must be killed.

“So, you have to enjoy sex in a healthy way.”
“Hehehe, in what way? Like this?”
“Aah…!”

I immediately pulled the Saintess towards me and hugged her.

“You’re really sending signals like a religious person. It was an interesting story.”
“Because I’m a religious person.”

Anyway, she’ll give me the reward properly, so there’s nothing to worry about.

“Ah, but Saintess. Isn’t this my rest time these days?”
“You’ve accomplished two extremely big things, so it’s only right to give you a rest time. Well… in this Saintess’s opinion, I hope you take a good rest or play this time. The Paladin is too diligent. You need to take a break.”

That’s true.

Since I’m not the only one doing this job, I definitely need rest time. I’m fine, but my women are always suffering. Even if I tell them to rest at home, they always try to help.

“Rest or play… what do you mean?”
“How about simply going on vacation?”
“Vacation?”

Vacation… it would be nice to go.

When it comes to summer vacation, isn’t it the sea?

ㅡScreeeeeech!!

It sounded like the screams of fishmen were coming from somewhere.
I wonder how those guys are doing.
