Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 456 Sudden departure

The fourth prince kept his promise and we were allowed to leave in just three days.

It was very shocking that we were allowed to leave this quickly.

After all, it wasn't just me that was leaving, but the entire dwarven ambassador team.

They would be allowed to come back to my town to set up an embassy for further relations with the Dwarven Kingdom. So there would no longer be a need for them to come to the capital.

It made sense since my territory was where most of the trade with the Dwarven Kingdom would be happening, so it was easier for us to discuss things here. But I never thought that the king would actually allow such a thing to happen.

After all, this was basically giving me all the rights to negotiate with the Dwarven Kingdom.

Along with my title as ambassador, I would be able to do whatever I wanted with the trade.

I could abuse it and set the price as high as I wanted to gouge the other nobles, not that I would do that in the first place.

But it was possible with this arrangement.

So how could the king allow this to happen?

Still, this was what happened in the end, so there was nothing that I could say about it.

I didn't want to question it just in case it would change his mind, so I quickly left with the dwarven ambassador team.

When we left, it was under the protection of several guards that all hid their identities.

It seemed that we were leaving in secret.

But then again, if we didn't leave in secret, there was no knowing what the different nobles would have done.

I actually hadn't checked in with any noble during this time because of the circumstances, so I had no idea what the situation of the capital was like.

However, as we moved through the streets, it was as I had expected.

There were far fewer people moving through the streets after the second prince died.

The official announcement was that he had suddenly fallen ill and succumbed to his illness, but everyone knew what the truth was. Even the citizens knew that it had something to do with the succession race.

So the capital had become very quiet during this time as no one dared to step out of place.

After all, a single misstep would be the difference between life and death.

After we left the capital, we met the fourth prince who had been waiting outside for us.

Seeing him waiting there for us, I had no choice but to go out and talk to him alone even though I very much didn't want to.

When he saw me come over, the fourth prince waved at me to come over with a smile on his face. When I came over, he said with a smile, "Brother Zwein, it really is hard to say goodbye after all that we've been through, but it seems like the time must come. I hope that you will be able to come to the capital again in the future."

Though I very much disagreed with this, I smiled and said, "Your…"

Before I could continue, I suddenly realized my mistake when the fourth prince gave a cough.

So I changed how I addressed him, "Brother Noah, it really is kind of you to say this, but I feel like I'll be busy with my territory from now on. I'll try to come, but it should be a long time before I have the free time to come to the capital again."

The fourth prince gave a nod of agreement before looking at the carriage, "With your new job hosting the dwarven ambassador, I'm sure that will be the case."

Then he looked around as if he was looking for something before saying, "Come out."

As soon as he said this, Shadow Five appeared out of nowhere and bowed to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince slightly knitted his brows when he saw this before saying, "What are you doing?"

Shadow Five couldn't help trembling when she heard this before bowing her head and saying, "Your highness, have I made a mistake?"

The fourth prince shook his head before saying, "You're going to be following Brother Zwein here and you're still acting like this? Take off your cloak already and stop hiding in the shadows. You will be protecting him openly as his guard."

Shadow Five trembled when she heard this before looking up slowly at the fourth prince.

But seeing that his expression didn't change, she slowly took off her cloak to reveal…a beautiful face.

She had long pink hair that framed a perfect fair white skin that had red eyes. She was without a doubt a beauty that it was almost a shame for her to cover herself up like this.

The only thing that she was lacking…was a few curves.

After seeing her take off the cloak, the fourth prince gave a satisfied nod before turning to say to me, "Brother Zwein, feel free to use her however you want. She will follow all of your orders while protecting you."

While I felt that there was some hidden meaning to this, I said with a straight face, "Brother Noah, thank you, but I don't think that there's a need. I have my own guards, so there's no need for you to send one of your personal guards to protect me."

There was a faint glow that appeared in Shadow Five's eyes when she heard this, but it was quickly buried.

The fourth prince shook his head and said, "Nonsense. You are my brother, so naturally I will protect you. Shadow Five here is one of my trusted guards, so I wouldn't be assured unless you were protected by her."

Shadow Five's eyes lit up when she heard this before she revealed a determined gaze.

Seeing this, I just gave a secret sigh.

I knew that there was no convincing them to change their mind, so I just gave a simple nod and said, "Then I'll have to thank you, Brother Noah."

The fourth prince gave a nod before waving his hand and saying, "Come with me. Before you go, there's someone that I want you to meet."
