Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 705 Without knowledge

The next morning, we went back to the castle.

It wasn't to meet with the king, but rather because there was something else there that we wanted to see.

The prime minister and other ministers were up bright and early to greet us, but they were surprised when they heard where we wanted to go.

"The royal library? Is that really all you want to do today?"

The prime minister asked this with a surprised and confused look when he heard this.

After all, he didn't think that the library was that valuable that it would need inspection, but he also didn't dare neglect us. So the prime minister and the ministers all quickly led us to the royal library.

Once we were there, the fourth prince just ignored them as he started going through the books that were here.

Seeing this, there was a bit of understanding that appeared in the eyes of the prime minister and the other ministers.

It seemed that this group from the Kite Kingdom was just here to read books at the request of this Count Navar. It seemed that they weren't really interested in anything else other than the books.

But they also recognized that this was an opportunity for them.

This royal library was a restricted place, but that was only for normal people.

For nobles like them, it was easy to gain access.

That also included their daughters.

During this time, they had been trying to figure out a way to introduce their daughters to this group from the Kite Kingdom so they could earn some benefits from sending their daughters to them. However, it seemed like nothing would work since they never stayed still and always rejected visits from others.

This wasn't the case now.

If they were going to read books in the library, they would be in that place for a while.

If they knew where they would be, then it was their chance to send their daughters to try and honey trap them.

Of course, that was all because they thought that everything in the royal library was useless. They didn't think any of the books that were there had any value since they were just there to collect dust.

With that, the prime minister and ministers quickly excused themselves, even though they left guards to watch over us.

The excuse was that the guards were there to protect us, but really they were there to monitor us. They wanted to make sure that we didn't go anywhere and if we did, they would know exactly where we would be because they had assigned guards to us.

It was so that they could put their plan in action.

Not long after, there were some girls that wandered into the library.

They acted like they were just there to see the books, but it was clear by the way that they dressed up that they weren't here just for this. After all, no one would wear a dress and heels just to go read a book.

They made sure to show off in front of us, as if they were trying to attract our attention, but we just ignored them as we continued reading our books.

It seemed that they were trying to seduce the fourth prince more than me.

After all, the fourth prince, or rather Count Navar, was someone that I had shown respect to during this time. This wasn't something that the prime minister and ministers hadn't missed.

They knew that this Count Navar had a special position for me to treat him this way.

Or at least that was what I wanted them to think.

I knew that the fourth prince didn't actually want any of this, so being surrounded by girls like this was a form of torture for him.

That was my way of getting a bit of revenge for how he had forced his way into coming with me.

But since all of the girls were ignored, there was nothing that they could do except sit nearby with books in front of them, as if they were pretending to read. However, it was easy to see that they were looking in this direction the entire time.

The fourth prince and I just ignored them as we had our own little conversation.

"So, how is it?" I asked all of a sudden.

The fourth prince gave a sigh before saying, "As expected, it is as bad as you think."

"Is that so?" I raised a brow when saying this.

The fourth prince gave a slight nod before pointing at the book in front of him, as if he was pointing out a part in the book. But he said, "Just take this book as an example. It was covered in dust when I picked it up, showing that they never even bothered reading it or taking care of it. However, as soon as one reads this book, they will understand just how much knowledge is in this book."

I leaned in to take a look at the page that the fourth prince was on and couldn't help slightly knitting my brows.

It wasn't that I could see what he was referring to, it was that I couldn't understand what was written on it. There was this strange language on the page that I just couldn't understand at all.

It was no mystery why they didn't care about this book, but I was surprised that the fourth prince was able to read this without a problem.

It seemed that he was even more high spec than I thought he was.

The fourth prince just ignored the way that I looked at him and continued by saying, "It's no wonder this kingdom is like this. There's no knowledge for them to survive on at all. They are just doing the bare minimum to keeping their kingdom from falling apart, it just takes a single poke for it all to break."

I revealed a faint smile before saying, "Then you've made up your mind?"

The fourth prince gave a nod before saying, "Right, I know what we'll take."
