Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

Duke Nergiante looked at me with a look like he didn’t understand what I was saying at first.

Then when he looked closely at the groove, he noticed that this groove was shaped like the ring that he was wearing.

This was the heirloom that had been passed down for generations in his family and the thing that I had asked him for earlier.

Duke Nergiante couldn’t help knitting his brows when he heard this.

He didn’t put the ring in like I told him to and instead looked at me as if he was trying to confirm what I had just said.

I pointed at the groove and calmly said, “Just put the ring in there and we can get started.”

Duke Nergiante knitted his brows even more when he heard this.

He just looked at me like he was asking for an explanation, but I looked back at him while matching his gaze without saying a single thing. It was as if I wouldn’t explain no matter how he questioned me.

Duke Nergiante couldn’t help hesitating when he saw this.

The captain of the guard seemed like he wanted to say something, but the duke raised his hand to stop him before he could.

Duke Nergiante just looked into my eyes for a bit longer before turning to face the groove.

He brought his hand up in front of the groove and then…his hand just remained there in the air for a bit.

He didn’t bring it forward and he didn’t pull it back.

With the way that it just lingered in the air, it was as if Duke Nergiante was having an internal struggle over this matter.

But in the end, he looked at me and then pushed his hand forward so that the ring went into the groove.

The moment that the ring went into the groove, there was a scraping sound that rang out.

The captain of the guards didn’t hesitate to lead his men forward to surround Duke Nergiante as if they were prepared to fight to the death to protect him.

My own group had wanted to do the same, but I just raised my hand to stop them.

This scraping sound continued for a bit before it was revealed what was making that sound.

It was a door that suddenly slid open in one of the walls in this room.

This was a door that seemed to be part of the wall itself and slid open when something activated it.

As for what activated it, the only possible thing was the ring that Duke Nergiante had placed in the groove.

Instead of looking at the door that had opened, Duke Nergiante looked at the ring in the groove with a concerned look. It was as if he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to take back the ring.

I had been about to go through the door that appeared, but I saw the way that Duke Nergiante looked and turned around.

Coming over to where the ring was inserted, I pulled it out without any hesitation.

When the ring was pulled out, the door naturally closed as well.

Everyone looked at me with strange looks as if they couldn’t understand what I was doing, but I wasn’t bothered as I casually put the ring back into the groove.

When it was put back in, the door slid open once more.

After demonstrating this, I said, “It can be removed at any time, so you don’t have to be afraid that you won’t be able to take it back.”

Duke Nergiante couldn’t help revealing a helpless smile when he saw this before saying, “Sorry for the distraction. Let’s go in.”

I gave a nod before leading the way in.

This time, the captain of the guard didn’t say anything to stop me, but he made sure to stay near the duke just in case anything happened. At the very least, it was admirable how loyal he was to the duke, even if he kept trying to make things harder for me.

When we came into the room, the first place that I went to was the desk that was in that room.

Everyone’s eyes followed me as I went over to it, but they didn’t seem to follow me.

They spent their time looking around the room, trying to figure out just what this place was.

He might have left his words hanging, but it was clear what he was trying to ask.

I ignored it for a bit as I examined the documents that were on the table, but then I turned around and said, “Well, now that we’re here, I can finally tell you what this place is and what I’ll be doing here.”

Duke Nergiante was caught off guard by these sudden words, but he gave a nod in response.

I gestured around me with my hand and said, “This place is where the seal for the former demon king is. The reason why your ring was able to open this place up was because your family was charged as the guardians of this place by the ones who created it all that time ago. Though with how long it’s been, it’s not strange that you’ve already forgotten about this.”

Duke Nergiante was shocked when he heard this as he slowly looked around this room again.

There was a trace of doubt that was in his eyes, but he also looked like he was slowly believing what I said.

After all, this situation was just too strange to be explained with anything else.

After a moment of looking around, he turned back to me with a bitter smile as he asked, “Why couldn’t you have told me this sooner?”

With a faint smile, I said, “Well, I was worried that you might not want to open this place if you knew about this. My concern is sealing the demon king again, so I had to worry about you not wanting to go along with my intentions.”

Duke Nergiante had a complicated look on his face, but he eventually gave a nod in response.
