Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

The king and the ministers just looked at me as if they couldn’t understand what I was saying.

They even had to look at me several times as if they were making sure that they had heard the right thing.

But in the end, there was no denying what they had just heard.

The king narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, “Duke Zwein, I think that I misheard something just now. Could you please repeat what you just said?”

It seemed that even though they had taken all this time, they didn’t believe what I said that easily.

But this couldn’t be blamed on them since this was something that was just too hard to believe.

Wyverns were a precious resource no matter how one looked at it.

After all these were what had ended the war with their might.

Any nation that had wyverns would surely be able to protect themselves from any future invasion.

In a time where they were weak, there was no doubt that the wyverns would protect the Midra Kingdom should anything happen.

So wyverns really were a hard thing to pass up.

But there were no free meals in this world and the king of the Midra Kingdom recognized that.

He knew that to be offered wyverns, there had to be a catch which was what he was trying to figure out now with this confirmation of his. He had shown his interest, it was all about what the other side would do now.

I just said with a calm smile, “I said that I wish you gift some wyverns to you.”

The king slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn’t allow himself to be disturbed as he said, “This kind of gift is a bit too much, isn’t it? I think that it’ll be hard for our kingdom to reciprocate this gift.”

“A gift is a gift, is there a need to reciprocate?” I asked with a faint smile on my face, but the king didn’t see this smile as a friendly smile.

The king actually saw this as an almost taunting smile…

So the king just narrowed his eyes to look at me for a bit before saying, “Let’s not beat around the bush. I’m sure that there are conditions for this.”

I raised a brow after hearing the king say this since I had to admit that I didn’t expect the king to suddenly be so blunt.

My impression of the king was bad in the first place, so seeing him act like this was strange since I didn’t think that he was capable of doing something like this.

But since he was being blunt, there was no need to play around and tease him anymore.

“One gold coin per tonne of limestone, I’m sure that’s a deal that we can strike, right?” I calmly said in response to this.

This was ten times less than what I had offered in the first place, but when comparing it to the wyverns…it should be that the wyverns would win out. Though the king couldn’t help feeling suspicious about the reason why I wanted this limestone in the first place.

After considering it, the greedy side of the king still came out as he said, “Two gold coins per tonne, that is as low as I’m willing to go.”

But I shook my head and said, “One.”

The king knitted his brows deeply when he heard this since he didn’t expect me to be this adamant about this. But instead of refusing this offer, he just asked, “Then how many wyverns are you planning on giving us?”

“Ten.” I said in a calm voice.

The king and the ministers were once again shocked when they heard this.

After all, they didn’t expect me to give them this many wyverns.

At best, they had only expected one or two. So suddenly receiving ten like this had completely surpassed their expectations.

They also couldn’t help feeling a bit suspicious since I was so generous with the wyverns.

The king once again looked back at me with narrowed eyes before saying, “What else do you want?”

I said with a smile, “I want a few books from your library.”

One of the king’s brows raised before he asked, “Just that?”

I said with a simple nod, “Just that.”

I said with a cryptic smile, “To me it is.”

The king deeply knitted his brows, but it was clear that he was enticed by this.

He clearly wanted these wyverns, even if he did know the value of some of the books and the limestone.

But in the end, the king said, “Alright, we can agree to this.”

I gave a nod, but I also said, “I have another condition that I want to add.”

The king slightly knitted his brows, but he didn’t say anything as if he was waiting for me to speak.

With a calm look, I turned to the second prince and said, “I want the wyverns to be placed under the second prince.”

The ministers and the king all revealed displeased looks when they heard this.

After all, they had all wanted the wyverns for themselves. Even if they couldn’t get all the wyverns, they still had wanted a few of them for themselves.

So this wasn’t something that they could accept that easily.

The king immediately asked, “Why did you suddenly add this condition?”

I calmly said, “Well, I’ve had the chance to talk with the second prince and it seems he’s much more moderate than your majesty. After all, your majesty did just start a war with our kingdom not that long ago.”

All of the nobles looked away with awkward looks when they heard this

The king also had an ugly expression on his face, but he couldn’t say anything in response since he knew that there was nothing that he could say.

Everything that I said was fact after all.

The king looked at the second prince who gave him a look as if saying, “You can leave everything to me.”

The king didn’t want to leave the wyverns to the second prince who he found an eyesore, but there was no other choice. It was clear that the other side wouldn’t give the wyverns unless this condition was met…

So the king had no choice but to agree in the end.
