Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

The guards didn’t stop even though Duke Yuletide made that outburst.

They just followed the fourth prince’s orders and brought the duke’s wife and daughter up onto the stage.

When they saw everyone that was there, the two of them started trembling in fear.

The only one that they could turn to was Duke Yuletide since he was the only one that was on their side. Both of them immediately looked at Duke Yuletide with looks as if they were begging him for help.

Duke Yuletide had a look like he wanted to rip the fourth prince to pieces after seeing the way that his wife and his daughter looked at him.

However, the guards were restraining him and wouldn’t let him move at all. So it wasn’t as if he could do a single thing physically.

The only thing that he could do was say, “What do you want?”

The fourth prince stopped talking to the crowd and turned to look at Duke Yuletide after he heard this. With a calm smile on his face, the fourth prince said, “I’ve already told you what I wanted and I’ve told you not to regret the chance that I gave you earlier.”

Duke Yuletide felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this.

Even though the fourth prince was smiling at him, it was more like the smile of a devil more than anything. He didn’t know what to say in response to this, but it didn’t matter what he would have said.

The fourth prince didn’t wait for Duke Yuletide to respond anyway as he turned back to look at the crowd.

He even took a step forward so he was right in front of the crowd as he said, “To punish the duke for the crime of treason that he’s committed, we will punish his wife and daughter.”

Duke Yuletide immediately felt another chill run down his spine when he heard this.

It wasn’t just that, it was almost as if all of his limbs went numb the moment that he heard this.

As for the duke’s wife and daughter, both of them revealed looks of terror before they started begging for mercy. Before this, they had kept their mouths shut to a certain extent in hopes that Duke Yuletide would save them.

But now that the fourth prince said this, they didn’t hold back at all to throw him under the bus.

They stated that everything that was done was all Duke Yuletide’s fault and that they had nothing to do with it. They said that if anyone should be punished, it should be him since he was the one that committed the crime.

Duke Yuletide felt even more numb when he saw his wife and daughter selling him out like this, but there was nothing that he could say in response to this. After all, he knew that it was all his fault in the first place since he wasn’t able to protect them.

He was indeed the one that had followed his family’s footsteps in trying to get revenge on the royal family for all of the injustice that their family had suffered.

So he was the one that dragged them into this…

Duke Yuletide felt like he had been completely drained of all energy, but he still had to speak up in this situation.

At the very least, he felt that he was responsible for protecting his wife and daughter.

So Duke Yuletide suddenly said, “Stop that already! You already said that we would be standing trial, is this how the system of law works in this kingdom? If you were to do anything to them, do you think that people will just let this slide? After all, if you do this once, there’s no telling what you might do in the future. Even if that isn’t the case, this won’t be what the other nobles will think. Do you really want to turn all of the nobles against you like this?”

Duke Yuletide might seem like he was rambling, but there was some logic in the words that he was saying.

If the fourth prince really were to do this, it would turn out the way that Duke Yuletide had stated it.

But the fourth prince just calmly turned to look at Duke Yuletide before saying, “Do you really think that I won’t do this?”

Duke Yuletide had a look of disbelief as he once more felt a chill running down his spine.

That was because he could tell that the fourth prince was absolutely serious based on the expression that was on his face. It was as if he didn’t care a single bit for what Duke Yuletide said.

The only thing that he cared about were a few certain words from Duke Yuletide.

These would be the words that would not only decide his fate, but also the fate of his wife and daughter.

These were words that would be related to the Snake Syndicate.

After staring at Duke Yuletide with this serious look for a bit, the fourth prince ignored him as he turned back to the crowd with the same smile as before as he said, “Now, since we are a civilized group, we won’t give them a serious punishment.”

The duke’s wife and daughter let out a sigh of relief when they heard this, but it was too early for them to relax.

Duke Yuletide was different since he could hear the sinister undertone that was in the fourth prince’s voice.

He knew that the punishment wouldn’t be as simple as he made it out to be.

However, once they had that look of relief on their faces, he continued by saying, “Their punishment will be simple. They will be locked up in this pillory for seven days in this square.”

This did seem like a simple punishment, but everyone was certain that the fourth prince’s punishment wouldn’t be that simple since they gathered them all here. This seemed like it was just too simple… Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
