Chapter 37.1
Orc Hero Story
Beastmen were forbidden to enter the precincts of the Sacred Tree. Royalty was the only exception. They were allowed to approach it without asking permission. So Silviana had come to the Sacred Tree with Carrot, whose skin was completely hidden. On the way she met some guards, but none of them said anything to her.
At that moment, Silviana saw Carrot praying to the Sacred Tree. It was the first time she had ever seen a succubus praying. Succubi had the image of being uninhibited and lascivious. Actually, it wasn’t bad. Most succubi, when they saw a man, would approach him with their whole face flushed, their crotches wet, and sleep with him. To other races, they were nothing more than s̲l̲u̲t̲s̲, irrational and lascivious.
However, this did not seem to be the case when it came to faith. Carrot knelt before the Sacred Tree to which she had been led, undressed, and kissed its great trunk. This was not the way the Beastmen prayed. Had one of the Beastmen priests who presided over their faith discovered this, they might have accused her of being a pagan. However, her appearance was so innocent and reverent that she could not have imagined it from the image she had of the succubus race.
The Sacred Tree was once closed to the public. Only royalty could approach it without permission. The reason was nothing special, just to prevent unauthorized people from damaging or cutting it down. As for Carrot, she seemed to have no ill intentions. Silviana could see that her respect for the Sacred Tree and her prayer were sincere. It seemed to her that she had really turned to her to pray to the Sacred Tree. She said it had been a long time since she had prayed, so it would take some time, but she sincerely wanted to get it over with and wait for Bash.
With that, Carrot stood up.
“Are you done?”
“Yes, that’s enough. Thank you.”
But when Carrot turned around, there was something in her hand that Silviana didn’t recognize. A translucent red ball. Something Carrot hadn’t had before.
