Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

?Though Duke Yuletide said he understood, the things that he did showed that he was thinking the opposite.

After meeting us at the gate, we were led to his manor where he would be hosting us.

Along the way, we didn’t meet a single person.

It was as if in this large Vayne City, everyone had disappeared.

There wasn’t a single person who was walking in the streets, it even seemed like the streets had been completely cleaned up of any traces of people with how barren it was.

The fourth prince knitted his brows before asking Duke Yuletide, ”What is the meaning of this?”

Duke Yuletide just calmly said, ”The people have better things to attend to, so they aren’t here.”

The way that he said this made it sound natural, but it was clear that he had a hand in this. It was clear that he had made sure that not a single person would be here as I was transported through the city.

If one didn’t know better, they would have thought that he was completely on my side with how much he was doing to help me keep my prestige.

If I didn’t know what he was truly about, he might have fooled me.

But I knew that this was clearly just nothing more than a ruse.

There was something that he wanted from me, which was why he was putting on this charade in the first place. He was doing all of this just so he could build up rapport with me.

Once he did that, he would surely try to use that rapport to get what he wanted from me.

I wasn’t going to let myself be fooled by him, but at the very least, I should play along.

Seeing that there wasn’t a single person in the street, I turned to give Duke Yuletide a grateful look.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he gave a nod to me before he went back to having the same expressionless look on his face.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes to look at Duke Yuletide for a bit before saying, ”I don’t know what you’re playing at here, but do you think that this will end well for you?”

Duke Yuletide just looked right back at the fourth prince and calmly said, ”I don’t know how this will end, but I can’t just abide silently by this.”

The fourth prince gave a snort before saying, ”Very well, do what you want. Just know that I’ve remembered this.”

Duke Yuletide gave a simple nod before leading the way forward to his manor.

When we arrived, it was already getting late, so the fourth prince and his men were led inside. Duke Yuletide had prepared a banquet for them to enjoy after their long journey.

For once, the fourth prince actually agreed to this.

At the same time, the fourth prince didn’t give the same argument as before where he wanted to keep me close and confined. This time, the fourth prince agreed to leaving my cage right in the center of the manor where the duke’s men would guard me.

He didn’t even bother leaving a single one of his men behind as he allowed the duke to take charge of guard duty.

It might seem like the fourth prince was being negligent, but it was just him setting a trap for the duke. The duke didn’t mind this since he had a trick up his sleeve that he could pull.

It was because of what he would use to set off the trap.

Since my cage was left right in the center of the manor yard, it was quite easy for me to break out of if I wanted to break free.

There were guards that were standing around me, but it didn’t seem like they were that motivated to do their jobs.

This was even further proven when they were suddenly knocked out.

There was no resistance at all from the guards, it was as if they wanted to let the people who knocked them out knock them out. It was clear that the guards and the people that were here were on the same side.

These people surrounded the cage and after a few seconds, they pulled out the key for the cage.

Well, it wasn’t the real key since this key was kept by the fourth prince and it would be impossible for them to steal it. So it was clear that this was some kind of replica that was made.

The only problem was how could they make a replica so soon…

Unless there was some kind of internal leak…

Or that would be the case if the fourth prince hadn’t already planned for this and had leaked the key himself. That was the reason why they were able to make this key.

”Sir Zwein, please come with us. We are breaking you out.” The leader of these people said this to me.

I looked at this person before saying, ”And why should I go with you?”

The leader wasn’t surprised since he knew that no one would just go with someone that they were meeting for the first time. So instead, he pulled out a token before saying, ”This is the token of my master. He hopes to meet with you.”

Seeing this, I gave a nod before standing up to follow them.

This was what I had been waiting for, even though I had no idea just what kind of move that person would make.

The last move I would have expected was a direct break like this, but they must have their reason for doing this…

The token that the leader had shown was the token of the Yuletide Family.

That meant that these people worked for Duke Yuletide.

It was no wonder the guards allowed them to knock them out that easily.

They must have already planned everything.

After breaking me free of my bindings, these people quickly took me away from the manor and into the streets of Vayne City.
