Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

Since the fourth prince had already achieved everything that he wanted, there was no longer a reason for us to remain in Vayne City anymore.

The next day, we were already heading back to the capital.

With the way that he was going, it almost seemed like he was in a rush to go back.

When we reached the capital, I understood why.

There were many different criminals that were being escorted to the capital from all over when we arrived. It didn’t seem like there would be an end to it as more and more people were brought into the capital and it seemed like all of them were bound up in some form.

It seemed that there were quite a few people that had been captured by the fourth prince during this time.

Of course, it wasn’t as if they were captured for no reason. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

After leaving Duke Yuletide, his family, and the others that we had captured in Vayne City to the guards, we headed to the castle.

We didn’t even get to the castle before finding a sea of people.

There were all kinds of people here and it seemed like they wanted an audience with the king. Most of them were nobles, but there were also knights and influential merchants that were here.

If I had to guess who they were…

They were most likely related to the ones that had been captured in some way or form.

They must be here to plead innocent for their relatives.

When they saw us coming, there were many of them that suddenly changed their target to us.

Or rather, they changed targets to the fourth prince.

They knew that the fourth prince was related to this matter, so they wanted to appeal to the fourth prince for leniency.

It was just that they didn’t get a chance at all as the fourth prince’s elite guards quickly created a path for our horse carriage to go through.

If we took the wyverns, then we could have directly landed in the castle courtyard and gone in, but we couldn’t do that right now. They needed to at least put on the appearance that the wyverns were separated from the royal family to a certain extent and that there was order in the capital, so wyverns were only allowed in the edges of the capital near the gate.

Once we reached the castle, there was no delay at all as we were brought up to the king’s study.

As we made our way through the castle though, we could see that this place wasn’t any less quiet than outside the castle. There were many people who were running around like they were very busy with something.

As for what that something was…it was naturally the trials that would be held soon for the criminals.

This was something that was now public since the fourth prince had spared no effort in spreading this information all throughout the kingdom. They also knew that my previous sentencing was fake and that I was still close to the royal family.

The way that the fourth prince spread this almost seemed like he wanted to make sure that everyone still knew this.

It was as if he cared very much that everyone knew that we were still close.

I would have been fine with this information being spread slowly since I had already sent a messenger back home that told Rose and the others everything. They wouldn’t be worried since they knew that all of this was fake.

When we arrived at the king’s study, we could see that he was also busy.

He didn’t look up at first, but when he did, he immediately waved his hand at the two of us.

Both of us revealed bitter smiles when we saw this since we could see the mountain of paperwork that was on the table, but we still went over since we were technically the cause of all this work.

Without any ceremony, the king just handed us each a stack of paperwork and went back to what he was doing.

He had just thrown this work to us without any hesitation, showing how much he trusted us.

But I knew that it was more than he had no choice.

Instead of being completely overwhelmed by this, it was better for him to throw this to us.

So the fourth prince and I shared another bitter smile before diving into paperwork that we had been handed.

As I read what was given to me, I couldn’t help slightly knitting my brows.

As I read more and more, the more I knitted my brows.

I looked up at the fourth prince and found that he was completely focused on reading the paperwork that he had been given, so I gave a cough to get his attention.

When he looked up, I asked him, “Aren’t there too many of them?”

The fourth prince just calmly shook his head before saying, “This is necessary. This is the most we can purge without any lasting damage to our kingdom, so we should make the most of this. After all, if we were to try anything like this again, there is no doubt that it won’t work as well since they are aware of our tricks.”

I raised one brow in doubt as I looked at him and asked, “Are you sure about this?”

The fourth prince just gave a simple nod with a confident look on his face without saying anything else.

I was still feeling doubtful, but the king said, “Stop chatting and get back to work already!”

The fourth prince and I shared another bitter smile before he went back to reading his paperwork.

But there was still a part of me that was worried about all of this.

That was because we really were purging too many nobles from our kingdom.

It was supposed to be a fourth, but now it turned out to be a third of all the nobles in the kingdom…

This had turned into the biggest trial of the century…or rather the biggest trials since there were enough to last a full seven days.

Would the kingdom really be alright after this?
