Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 766 Snake Syndicate (4)



Resonance…

Yes, it was a sense of resonance that could be heard from his voice.

That was because he felt that his family had been betrayed by the royal family all this time, so now that he saw me who had also been ‘betrayed’ by the royal family like this, he felt that we were similar.

That was why he went as far as revealing himself like this.

He was confident enough that he would be able to convince me to side with him against the royal family, which was why he wasn’t afraid to show himself like this.

This was not something that I had expected when the fourth prince and I came up with this plan, but this was definitely something that I could use. After all, the trust gained from a misunderstanding was the best way that something could turn out.

It meant that I wouldn’t have to do a single thing to gain the trust of this person who I wanted the trust of.

That would without a doubt make things much easier.

The problem was that I couldn’t just be lured in that easily or else it would seem suspicious.

So I had to at least pretend that I was against this.

When he was done with his rant, Duke Yuletide clearly had a satisfied look on his face as he said, “You and I are the same, we were both betrayed by the royal family of this kingdom. There’s no need for you to be loyal to those that would throw you away like this.”

He reached his hand out towards me as he said, “I’m offering you the chance to stand on the right side of history. I’m offering you the chance to take what you deserve.”

I looked down at the hand before looking back up at Duke Yuletide with an emotionless look on my face. I didn’t say a thing as I just kept looking at him.

Duke Yuletide didn’t seem offended by this as he kept looking at me with that same smile on his face.

Finally, I slowly said, “And what do you have to offer me if I do this? It isn’t as if there is any guarantee that I’ll be free after this, so there’s no real reason for me to help you. After all, I’m dead one way or another.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Duke Yuletide once again didn’t seem offended when he heard this as he just calmly said, “What if I say that I’ll give my word?”

I gave a disdainful laugh before saying, “Do you really expect me to just trust your word? I’m not that foolish.”

Duke Yuletide gave a nod before saying, “Of course not, I don’t take you for a fool either. I know that this is a big matter that I’m asking of you, so what do you need to trust me?”

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, “A written deal. I need evidence of this so I can use it against you if you try to do anything to me after this.”

A teasing smile appeared on Duke Yuletide’s face as he said, “You’re not afraid I’ll kill you and take it back?”

I just calmly said, “Do I have any other choice in this matter?

Duke Yuletide gave a nod before saying, “Well, at least you’re cautious, I’ll give you that. Though, you are right that you really don’t have any choice on this matter.”

Then in a more serious voice, he said, “I can give you some leeway. Since we are birds of a feather, as long as you’re willing to submit to me, then I’ll leave you as my second in command. I’ll even let you marry my daughter when the time comes if that will make you more assured.”

I narrowed my eyes again before saying, “The only thing that I want is to live in peace on my territory with my wives.”

Duke Yuletide gave a casual nod when he heard this, but then he slightly knitted his brows as if he realized that something was off.

He narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, “Are you including the princess among those wives?”

I looked right into his questioning eyes and gave a nod.

Duke Yuletide knitted his brows even more when he saw this.

In his plan, he had wanted to kill off every member of the royal family that had doomed his family to live the life that they were currently living. That naturally included the princess who was a part of the royal family.

But now…

Duke Yuletide just looked at me with the same look on his face, as if he was pressuring me. Only this time, I didn’t back down at all as I looked right back at him with the same firm look on my face.

In the end, he gave a sigh and said, “Fine, just her. But that’s only if she’s willing to step down as the former royal family and give the title to me publicly.”

I gave a nod in response to this before saying, “Then I’ll work for you.”

Duke Yuletide gave a satisfied nod when he heard this before saying, “You’re making the right choice.”

I didn’t say anything in response to this, but Duke Yuletide didn’t mind as he continued by saying, “Now tell me about this Wyvern Stone. I want to know everything about it.”

I gave a nod before saying, “The Wyvern Stone is a special stone that can assert dominance over wyverns as long as it is used in the right way. That’s why people have never been able to use it before I found it. However…the fourth prince tricked me and took the Wyvern Stone for himself.”

Duke Yuletide stroked his chin before saying, “Then will you tell me how to use the Wyvern Stone?”

With a bitter smile, I asked, “Would you still need me if I were to tell you?”

Duke Yuletide shook his head with a smile, without hiding a thing.

Then he said, “Alright, let’s talk about how we’ll get it from the fourth prince and then how you’ll use it to take care of them.”
