Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

”Surprise…”

That was what this person said in an awkward voice when he took off his cloak.

Seeing him standing there in front of me, I couldn’t help looking at him with a very strange look before saying, “You have to go back.”

“Eh? It’s already too late for that.” This person said back to me.

“Don’t give me that. What will happen if the kingdom collapses while you’re gone?” I said in an agitated voice.

This wasn’t an exaggeration, this was a fact since the person who was standing in front of me was the fourth prince.

I don’t know why he would do something like this, he had actually snuck along with our group.

It was just a good thing that I found him before we actually left the kingdom or else it definitely would have been troublesome. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that there were many things that couldn’t run in this kingdom without the fourth prince.

There were many things that the king had delegated to the fourth prince, just like how he had delegated things to me. However, the things that he entrusted the fourth prince with were vital things that had to be done to ensure that the kingdom ran properly.

If these weren’t done, it would only be a matter of time before the kingdom collapsed.

So before that happened, we had to send the fourth prince back.

“Eh?” The fourth prince said again before saying, “It won’t collapse just because I’m not there.”

I shook my head and said with a sigh, “It will, that’s how important you are to the kingdom.”

The fourth prince revealed an embarrassed look when he heard this which made me feel very strange. It wasn’t a good kind of strange, it was a bad kind of strange like the cells of my body were rejecting this very intensely…

After acting this way for a bit, the fourth prince calmly said, “No, it really won’t since I didn’t leave without leaving someone behind to take over for me.”

I was surprised to hear this since I never heard of anyone that could replace the fourth prince.

The fourth prince said with a smile, “I have a body double that I’ve been preparing for some time now. Of course, this is a secret, so you can’t tell anyone about this.”

I looked at him with a strange look, as if I couldn’t believe that he would tell me something like this that easily.

The fourth prince just had a smile on his face as he continued to say, “He can take care of business for me and people won’t even realize that I’m gone. But it’s not as if this is a permanent solution since he is just a replacement. As long as I’m not gone for more than half a year, it should be fine.”

Half a year, that was how long the fourth prince had prepared for his own disappearance.

As expected of a man who was supposed to be the main villain of the noble arc, it was as if he had already planned everything.

But there was something else that I couldn’t help thinking about.

If he had a body double, then did that mean that he might have actually survived in the game?

Could it be that the fourth prince that had been killed in the game was nothing more than a body double?

No, he wouldn’t do something like that.

After spending quite a bit of time with the fourth prince, I felt that I had a good grasp of his personality.

I knew that he wasn’t someone that would abandon his people like that just to escape on his own. Even if he was forced to do it by his subordinates, he would come back in the end to save them.

So the fourth prince should have died in the game…

The fourth prince could see that there was a strange look on my face as I looked at him, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

I realized what I was doing, so I shook my head and said, “It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”

The fourth prince raised a brow as if he was suspicious of me, but he didn’t say anything else.

I knew that it would be impossible for me to bring him back now without causing a commotion, so there really wasn’t a way for me to reject him.

Not to mention, I found out that he actually brought a trump card.

The king had actually written an order for me to bring the fourth prince along.

He stated that he was worried, which was why he wanted the fourth prince to come with me just in case anything happened.

I had no idea what they were thinking, but they had to have their reason for doing this.

But there was still something that I had to comment on.

“How are you planning on following me? You could be considered quite the famous person and easily recognized, so wouldn’t they immediately recognize you if you came with me?”

Even if this game was set in the middle ages, there were things like magic that could project images.

Even without magic, there were still those that could draw quite well, so images were quite easily sent around. Though that was mainly because of this world’s basis being from one of those games.

It was a way to easily collect CGs…

So the fourth prince’s face was quite well known since he was an important character.

Even without that, he would be known by the other royals and nobles since they would have met him before.

So it wasn’t as if he could just follow me into the other kingdoms like this.

The fourth prince revealed a smile as he said, “You don’t have to worry about that, I have my ways.”

I raised a brow in doubt, but I just waited to see what he would do.
