Chapter 44
[Order Service Route]
She could see the writing written like that.
Looking at the date, it was today.
In short, it was a map that depicted in detail where she was being taken right now.
Delonas, who, as an imperial princess, could not have been unfamiliar with handling documents, sensed something slightly odd about this one.
Both the imperial family and, of course, the Pope were figures at the very top of the temple.
Naturally, when conducting such external affairs, it was standard practice not to leave the travel route on paper.
What if it were leaked and someone used it for foul play elsewhere?
Yet, this paper brazenly had it written on the map, and not even in Archionese but in the Common Tongue of the continent.
No matter how much Archionese was falling out of use, she had heard that confidential documents were still written in Archionese.
Moreover, the document was stiff as a board.
If it had passed through even a few subordinates’ hands, it couldn’t possibly be this stiff, as if it had just been written.
As if it were only for the Pope and Delonas herself to see……
“!”
She found herself staring at the map and quickly averted her gaze.
Even though he couldn’t possibly have missed her looking down at it, the Pope showed no particular reaction.
“…….”
After a long while like that, the carriage came to a stop.

During the carriage journey, which felt long if not actually so.
“I must be mistaken, right?”
“But isn’t this going too far? How is a mere thing from Beakin supposed to know her proper place in such a state?”
Grumbles began to surface little by little among the priests.
Among the priests participating in this service mission, there were decidedly none who had joined out of genuine piety.
What they expected was one thing:
Greater stimulation.
They wanted to go beyond just taking the princess within the familiar confines of the temple; they desired to violate her in places she couldn’t imagine, in ways she couldn’t imagine.
They had joined this insincere service mission for that very purpose.
It was the temple, a forbidden area for women to begin with.
There were limits to taking women by stealthily giving small bribes here and there.
And then, into their midst, had fallen this delectable prize: the princess, rumored to be the continent’s greatest beauty.
And despite being a prisoner of a fallen nation, she still had that unbroken, haughty air about her, didn’t she?
Just thinking about it made their fronts bulge; they couldn’t possibly let this opportunity slip.
But having come all this way, for some reason the inside of the carriage was just quiet, and His Holiness seemed preoccupied with his work.
Still, we can’t just take what the High Priest entrusted to His Holiness for “education,” can we?
As they were racking their brains over this, one of the priests voiced an idea.
“Wouldn’t it be fine as long as it’s not the ‘education’?”
“Huh?”
The priests’ gazes gathered on him.
“Of course, for the ‘that event’ they’re preparing, we can’t dirty her below. But there’s no reason we can’t play with her, is there?”
For those whose minds were clouded by lust, whether this was a normal discussion or not was unimportant.
And so, they crowded towards where the Pope was.
“Your Holiness—”
“Hng……!”
But before they could even call out to the Pope, what came from inside in response was not an answer but a groan.
“Hff.”
His Holiness is already taking her!
They quietly began to lend an ear.
Their fronts already bulging as if about to pierce their clothes.
