Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 759 A moment of respite

?As we passed through this town, there were some nobles that suggested that they clear out a space so that the fourth prince could make a speech in front of their citizens.

Of course, that would also include showing off me, who was sitting in the cage.

They wanted to bring down my prestige as much as they could and to make sure that everyone knew that I had fallen this far.

They wanted to kick me when I was down.

It was clear that the nobles in this town were not on my side.

It was clear that these were nobles that disliked me, whether it was for personal or professional reasons.

But that was the reason why the fourth prince chose to bring me here in the first place.

He wanted to show my predicament off to these nobles to help sell our cover. At the same time, he wanted to make preparations for when we took down these nobles since this plan was also targeting them.

In the end, the fourth prince said, "No, there are still other places that we have to go before today ends. I just came here to show you all the plight that Duke Zwein is in and I hope that you will…" After a pause, the fourth prince revealed a sly look as he said, "Help me spread the news of this."

The nobles had looks of understanding slowly appear on their faces before they all nodded in agreement with smiles on their faces.

As soon as they heard this, they knew what the fourth prince was asking of them.

He was asking them to help spread the news even further so that my reputation would be ruined even more.

He was basically telling them to help destroy me, which was what they wanted to do in the first place.

So the nobles naturally agreed to this without any hesitation.

With that, the fourth prince had Joan pick up the cage once more and headed off to the next town.

Just like this, we made our way to three different towns and one city, only stopping in the city since it was getting late.

The fourth prince was given a residence by the nobles of the city and it was there that I was finally let out of the cage.

The nobles had wanted to keep me in the cage, but the fourth prince just simply said, "Do you want him to escape? By leaving him outside in a cage, you're making it easy for him to escape. Instead, it is better to keep him in the residence with all of my guards keeping watch."

The nobles were surprised by this, but they realized that the fourth prince was right.

Being in a cage outside was too dangerous since it was too dark and the space was too open. There was anything that could happen during this time that could allow the prisoner to escape.

It was better to keep the prisoner in a place that was enclosed and filled with guards than to keep them outside.

The nobles wanted to offer their own guards to keep watch over Duke Zwein as well, but the fourth prince completely rejected their offer in the end.

Since the fourth prince rejected, there was nothing that the nobles could do other than leave their guards nearby to watch over the residence in case anything happened.

But the fourth prince didn't care about that.

Once we were inside of the residence, that was when I finally had freedom.

The chains that were locking up my hands were taken off and I was able to wash up before meeting the fourth prince in one of the bedrooms.

"So, how did it feel to be a prisoner like that?" The fourth prince asked with a teasing smile.

A bitter smile crept on my face as I shook my head and said with a sigh, "It definitely is an experience. I'm not sure if I would want to experience something like this again though."

But when I thought about it, it wasn't as if this was the first time that I had been treated like this.

The first time was when I had arrived in this world, I had been put in the dungeon by the baron after he bought me for his wife.

That was how I had arrived in this world and I was experiencing something like this again…It really was a strange feeling.

Still, it wasn't as if I was actually a prisoner.

After sitting down and resting for a bit, I asked with a serious look, "How do you think this will go? Do you really think it'll all go as planned?"

The teasing smile disappeared from the fourth prince's face as he revealed a look of deep thought.

After a moment of silence, he said, "There shouldn't be a problem. I've already made sure to take care of all the things that could go wrong and I've even taken precaution against things that no one would expect. So in the end, it should be fine."

I looked at him with narrowed eyes for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

There still seemed like many things that could go wrong with this, but at the very least he seemed confident.

So far, nothing had gone wrong, so it wasn't as if I could say anything.

Though I did feel like it wouldn't turn out as simple as the fourth prince thought it was.

For now, I just sat back on the couch that I was on and relaxed.

The fourth prince saw this and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you that tired?"

With a bitter smile, I said, "You can try being in a cage and telling me how it feels. This is the only downtime that I'll have during this time, so I'll make the most out of it."

The fourth prince gave a nod with a faint smile, but he didn't say anything.
