Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure



That night, I received the report of a proper execution from my assistant.

It was a simple beheading with a proper executioner.

In one swing, it was over for those three rogues.

Apparently, they didn't believe that they would be executed like this since they were certain that they would be freed as adventurers. So in their panic, they started revealing information that would be damning to Viscount Teomold.

But before they could reveal anything too damning, their mouths were stuffed by the executioners and they were killed.

There was no doubt that there would be conflict between the Adventurer Guild and Viscount Teomold from now on, but that wasn't my problem.

What I cared more about was the information that the assistant brought back about Viscount Teomold's crimes.

It wasn't that incriminating, but it definitely could be used since it would give us a few leads to follow up on.

The next morning, we were setting off.

We weren't heading back to our territory yet, but rather heading to the territory of another noble that Rose had contacted previously.

This noble wasn't a part of Viscount Teomold's group, so I was interested to see what kind of noble Rose had contacted.

At the very least, it wouldn't be worse than Viscount Teomold.

To my surprise, this noble's territory wasn't that far from Viscount Teomold's.

It was practically right next to it, but there was a small barony in between them. However, when it came to territory disputes, this small barony served as nothing more than a buffer zone for them.

In truth, it could be said that this noble was considered Viscount Teomold's rival.

When I found this out, I couldn't help looking at Rose with a strange look, but she just looked back at me with a smile on her face. It was as if she wasn't disturbed at all by this and that she was proud of what she did.

Was she that kind of person?

After all, what she was doing was hedging.

She was basically putting chips on both sides so that no matter who won, she would be able to manipulate them.

But then again…I had seen this part of her before.

Could it be that she had been affected by another curse?

No, if she did, I would have been able to purify her with the Mark of God. That was something that I had discovered in my studies with the priest, I was able to dispel most curses, regardless of their level.

So the fact that the Mark of God didn't activate was a clear sign that she wasn't cursed.

Then this was most likely…part of her real personality.

If I thought about it, it kind of made sense.

The curse was a curse that amplified what was already inside, so there was this part of Rose to begin with.

After the curse was dispelled, she was made more aware of this side and she slipped into it from time to time.

So it could be said that this was a side effect that had been left after the curse was dispelled.

These thoughts had been on my mind when we left Viscount Teomold's territory.

Then when we were in the carriage, I couldn't help looking at Rose with a strange look.

So she asked me, "Is something wrong?"

I shook my head, but I still looked at her with that strange look.

In the end, after seeing her look at me with a raised brow, I asked, "Are you alright?"

Rose was surprised to hear this and she looked around as if she was trying to figure out what I was talking about. But in the end, she looked at me with a confused look and slowly said, "I'm alright…"

Still, I didn't look away as I looked at her with the same strange look and said, "Do you feel anything different about yourself?"

Even more confusion filled her face when she heard this as she didn't understand what I was trying to imply with this.

But slowly, she came to have some understanding.

Slowly, her expression changed as she looked at me.

Rose looked right into my eyes and slowly said, "I'm alright."

This time, it was my turn to be surprised since I could see that she understood what I meant.

After a long silence, she said, "This is a part of me and I accept that. It has been there inside of me the entire time, so I am just embracing what I am. You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine with who I am."

I just silently stared at her for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

I had been worried that she would be affected by all of this since she had shown distress when she found that her former husband had cursed her.

I was worried that it would have a negative impact on her knowing that there might be side effects to breaking this curse.

But it seemed that I had been worried for nothing.

In fact, it seemed that I had underestimated Rose.

She was fully aware of the changes with herself, but she had chosen to accept them since she knew that this was a part of who she was.

It seemed that she was much stronger than I gave her credit for.

I should reflect on this in the future.

Haley, who had been silent on the side, suddenly came forward and hugged Rose to say, "I like who you are too."

Rose revealed a faint smile and hugged her back before saying, "I like you too."

A warm smile appeared on my lips seeing the two of them like this.

I was worried for nothing, she would be fine.

So now it was time to focus on what would come next…

Unlike Viscount Teomold, the next noble that we were visiting was one that had earned his title instead of inheriting it.

He was a knight that had earned his title after many years on the battlefield.

I wondered how different he would be compared to Viscount Teomold.
