Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 417 A dark night (1)

It was already the afternoon when I arrived back at the residence.

The dwarves to my surprise had been waiting for me the entire time.

When I came in, the first thing that they did was completely surround me and see if there was anything wrong.

Elsa was the one that led this, but the other dwarves also didn't hold back as they surrounded me.

It was almost as if I was some kind of rare commodity that they had obtained and they were making sure that I wasn't damaged.

The one line that I drew was taking off my clothes.

If I didn't stop them, the dwarves might have really ripped off my clothes just to make sure that I was fine.

I was touched that they were this worried about me, but they really were taking it too far.

After they had finished checking my body, they all let out sighs of relief before asking…

"How about we go and do some rune carving?"

"I have this new alloy that I've been wanting to make, can you help me with it?"

"There's this new sword that I've been working on, I just don't know how to go about it."

The reason that they were so worried…was because of my knowledge. It didn't seem like they were actually worried about me, they were just worried that they would miss out on this knowledge that I had about forging.

I had already expected this, but it still made a bitter smile appear on my face.

In the end, it was only Elsa who asked, "Are you really alright? They didn't do anything to you, right?"

I was surprised to hear this from her, but I just said with a proper smile, "It's not a problem. It wasn't anything that I couldn't handle."

She looked at me with a bit of doubt as if she didn't believe what I said, but she didn't say anything else after that.

In the end, I spent the rest of the day with the dwarves going over the things that they wanted.

But I received a surprise at dinner.

Elsa had cooked something for me personally. Even though there were chefs that came with this residence, she had gone off in the afternoon to cook for me.

I didn't understand why she did this, but I had to admit that it was delicious.

She really could cook.

"You really would make a good wife." I couldn't help saying this before suddenly realizing my mistake.

She had been a wife before, but it hadn't worked out…after all it had ended in divorce with Drogath.

But Elsa didn't seem to mind as she asked, "Do you really think so?"

I was surprised to see how much mental fortitude she had, but I was also surprised by the blush that was on her face.

Why would she suddenly reveal a blush like this?

Still, I didn't push it since I knew that it was a mistake.

lightsnοvεl If I stay on this topic for too long, I might hurt her accidentally…so it was better to change the topic.

The rest of the meal was spent with a happy mood and we headed off early to go to sleep since there wasn't much else that needed to be done.

Or it could be said that I had run away to bed to avoid the dwarves.

If I didn't give the excuse that I was tired after what happened today, they might have dragged me off to talk about forging all night.

So I could only use this as an excuse to run away.

As I laid there in bed, I couldn't fall asleep right away as I thought about everything that had happened today.

I knew for sure that it wouldn't be the end…after all, only the eldest prince had made a move.

Even if I had the protection of the fourth prince, the other princes wouldn't let this go that easily. Not to mention, the promise that I had made with the fourth prince was flimsy in the first place.

It was just a verbal agreement without any actual terms, so it was impossible that he would go all out to protect me.

In the end, I would have to think of a way to protect myself.

It was just a good thing that I had something that no one else in this world had.

I had the cheat that was knowledge of the future.

I had played the game for countless hours, so there were many things that I knew about the princes that even they didn't think anyone knew about. I knew things that even they wouldn't know about themselves because these were things that would happen in the future.

With this knowledge, it would be easy for me to act against the princes if the need came.

So I started going over everything that I could use against the various princes.

There were nine princes in total.

Some of them were so insignificant that they didn't come up in the plot much, but I still wouldn't let them go.

After all, I had no idea which of the princes would act against me.

As I laid there in bed thinking about all of this, I could feel my eyes slowly drooping.

While it had been hard for me to sleep earlier, the more that I thought about this, the sleepier I became.

Eventually, I wasn't able to fight it anymore and decided to go to sleep.

There was no need to rush this, there would be plenty of time to think about this later.

For now, I should get my rest since I had no idea what would come tomorrow.

If it was my own territory, I wouldn't need to worry, but the capital was ever changing.

Just like today, anything could happen tomorrow…

So I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep…but a minute after I closed my eyes.

"Watch out!"

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw two swords clashing in front of me.
