So I'm a sheep.

Clark flatly refused: "Just because of your word, my concubine has to undergo a 'physical examination' for you?"

"Your Excellency Sally, don't you think you've gone too far?"

"We're all girls, so it's okay. If you're really worried, you can stay and watch over things from the side."

"You want to humiliate me in public?"

"Uh, absolutely not! I was only thinking of His Majesty..."

"Please leave," Clark coldly ordered.

"..."

"Your Majesty, I can go back, but you should think carefully about the consequences."

The young girl said slowly, "Your favorite concubine is suspected to be a succubus. I came here specifically to find out her true identity, but you have been obstructing me in every way."

"If this gets out, do you think people will have some doubts?"

"Could it be that the wise and mighty Arcane Emperor Clark Gaunt has been seduced by a succubus and become her devoted subject... or something like that?"

"Humph"

Clark snorted and then a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency Saliye, do you really dare to spread rumors about me so casually?"

"This kind of thing is morally untenable."

"Heh, I know that. You angels follow the rules in everything you do, so don't try to scare me!"

"..."

"Generally speaking, that's true."

"However, I, as an angel, am rather unconventional."

The little girl shook her head: "I'll head back now, Your Majesty. I'll be waiting for your good news."

............................................

"How dare she?!"

Clark's roar echoed in the room as he slammed a stack of reports at Olina's feet, panting heavily.

"Didn't you say that even angels have to follow morality and rules?"

"Now the rumors are spreading that I was seduced by a succubus and sold my soul to a demon. Even the arcanists are suspicious and are demanding that I hand you over to the church!"

"Also, the rumor that you're a succubus came from the church, and that brat must be behind it!"

"Tell me, tell me, what should I do now?"

"What else can we do but risk everything for a woman?"

Orina looked on expectantly: "You, the Arcane Emperor, will soon lead your army to wipe out the Church of Truth. Then let's see who dares to talk nonsense."

"..."

"Okay, just kidding, you really can't take a joke."

Orina pouted: "If she wants to get a physical exam, let her. I want to see how she does it."

"Are you sure?"

Clark said with utmost seriousness, "This is no joke. If you expose yourself in public, the entire empire will be thrown into turmoil."

"rest assured"

Before Clark could even breathe a sigh of relief, the succubus added, "As long as she doesn't bring the Source Projection with her, I'm confident."

"What if she brings that projector with her?!"

"Oh dear, that's going to be difficult."

Orina said with distress, "Even I tremble when I feel the aura of a super artifact."

"Who knows..."

"You bastard!"

A petrifying ray was fired at Orina, and the succubus seemed unable to dodge in time and was hit directly.

"..."

"........"

“Your Majesty, if you continue to attack our allies so casually, I will really be angry.”

Clark's expression turned grim as he stared at the unharmed succubus, momentarily speechless.

'Could it be that my assessment was wrong, and this demon's strength is actually greater than mine?'

"Hmph, look at you, you've made me lose a single hair."

Orina plucked a petrified hair and flicked it at Clark's face with one hand.

Despite this provocation, the Emperor of Arcane Arts' expression softened.

Taking your own petrification ray unharmed is completely different from taking it while injured (even by a single hair).

"Olina, isn't it you who says you're completely confident one minute and then says it's difficult the next?"

"Anyone who hears this will be unable to resist!"

"Give me a straight answer, are you sure you can do it?"

"Row!"

"What if Sally brings the Origin Projection here?"

"This world is not entirely controlled by angels, and the Church of Truth does not possess such sacred objects."

"If the Church of Truth doesn't have it, surely the Thrones won't? What if Sally asks her superiors for it?"

"That thing isn't something you can just borrow casually. You can rest assured... well, you can rest as much as you want."

Why not just say "rest assured"?

“If Saliye has an unusual relationship with her superior, maybe she can actually borrow it,” Orina said ambiguously.

"..."

"Haha, actually the possibility is almost zero."

"I tested her that day, and the girl is still quite innocent."

"but......"

"Stop!"

Clark abruptly interrupted her: "Don't always add 'however,' 'but,' or 'unless' after you've said something with such certainty!"

"I'll contact the church right away. Don't worry, I'll add all the necessary restrictions."

...................................................

"Your Majesty, I knew you would come to your senses one day!"

Clark looked at the little girl expressionlessly: "There are a few points I need to reiterate. First, Olina will be subject to your examination in the palace."

"no problem"

"Secondly, the arcanists of the Arcane Council and I will be watching from the sidelines."

"Can"

"Finally, you must not insult my concubine during the inspection!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't do that."

"Hmph, come with me."

When they arrived at the garden, Olina was already waiting there.

"Your Excellency Saliye, we meet again."

As she spoke, Olina extended her hand.

"Yes."

The little girl smiled and reached out to shake that hand, but as soon as their fingertips touched, Olina pulled her hand back.

"Ah, you pulled your hand away!"

Sasha shouted sternly, "Tell me, why did you pull your hand away just now?"

"You're being mean to me."

Orina wore a resentful expression, but none of the witnesses present were fooled by her act.

The archangels of the church sneered, and the white-haired arcanists simply surrounded Orina.

Clark was sweating profusely with anxiety, and his voice changed.

"My beloved, why did you suddenly pull your hand away?"

Volume 1: Chapter 259 Allergies

"Hmm, what could be the reason...?"

Seeing that Olina wanted to play dumb, Sasha directly revealed the truth.

"There is a potion produced in the celestial realm that can cause succubi to have severe allergic reactions. I applied it to my hands before coming here."

The young girl looked rather distressed, as a small bottle of potion had cost her two years' worth of salary (merit points).

Fortunately, just as the instructions say, this potion has a remarkable effect on succubi!

"Things have come to this..."

“Saliye, I confess.”

Under Clark's shocked and furious gaze, Olena raised her hands.

"I confess, I actually withdrew my hand on purpose just now."
