Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 708 A surprising proposal

When we were in the room, it was only the fourth prince, me, and the second prince sitting there.

The rest were all standing outside keeping guard, but that was quite awkward since it wasn't just our guards that were standing there. There were also the second prince's guards that were standing outside this room.

They just stood on opposite sides and stared at each other awkwardly, but neither side let down their guards as they stared at each other.

Inside the room, that was the least of our concern as we were focused on the second prince.

Though he was the one that had led us here, he didn't say a single word as he sat there across from us.

All three of us just stared at each other as if we were waiting for someone to talk.

Finally, the second prince broke the silence by saying with a smile, "I've long heard of your fame, but it really is an honour to meet you both. Duke Zwein and the famous fourth prince of the Kite Kingdom."

Both of us immediately knitted our brows when we heard this, but we can't say that we were surprised.

The fame of the second prince was just so great that it wasn't surprising that he would be able to see through the disguise of the fourth prince.

It was just surprising that he would reveal this fact to us.

After all, it would make more sense to hide the fact that he knew this so he could use this information to his advantage. The fourth prince being here and away from our kingdom was a serious matter, so he could have used this to do many things.

But the fact that he was willing to expose this meant that he saw more potential from exposing this than keeping it secret.

It really made us wonder just what he was planning...

However, since he was willing to expose this, then we should at least show the same kind of courtesy.

The fourth prince removed his disguise and revealed his true appearance before saying, "I've long heard of the fame of the second prince as well. It seems that the rumours weren't even close to describing the second prince properly."

The second prince revealed a smile as he said, "Rumours are just rumours in the end. I hope that we can forget about all those rumours and just talk properly."

The fourth prince gave a nod before narrowing his eyes to say, "What do you want?"

The second prince was surprised to hear this since he never thought that the fourth prince would be this direct.

However, the fourth prince knew that the only way to catch him off guard and bring the tempo back on their side was to be direct. Only by being direct would he be able to shift the momentum in his favour like this.

The second prince just looked at the fourth prince with a confused look for a bit before suddenly breaking out in laughter and saying, "It seems that the rumours do not do justice to the fourth prince either."

The fourth prince didn't laugh along as he just narrowed his eyes to look at the second prince.

It was clear by the suspicion in his eyes that he didn't trust the second prince, but the second prince didn't seem to care.

Seeing that he wouldn't say anything else, the second prince continued by saying, "It's very simple, I have a request that I want to make of you. It's one that might be a bit hard to accept, but I hope that you will consider it."

Both the fourth prince and I knitted our brows when we heard this, but we didn't reject him right away.

For the second prince to do all of this, it was clear that the request that he had wasn't a normal request.

If that was the case, it actually made us curious about what his request would be.

The second prince saw this and continued saying with a smile, "It's actually a very simple request, I just want to join your country and work for you."

We knitted our brows even deeper when we heard this as the fourth prince and I looked at each other. We could see the confused looks in each other's eyes, showing that neither of us understood what he was saying

But that wasn't strange when the second prince had made such a crazy request.

A prince of a country was actually asking to become a subordinate.

Let alone a prince that had the level of fame and power as the second prince of the Midra Kingdom.

There didn't seem to be a benefit to him switching sides like this.

The second prince could guess what we were thinking based on the looks on our faces, but he didn't panic as he calmly said with a smile, "I know that it must be hard to believe that I would do something like this, but…" The smile disappeared from his face and a serious look replaced it as he said, "There is no future in this country. I am not delusional enough that I can't see something like that. While I might be able to do something for our people if I took the throne, it's clear that this isn't the best course of action anymore."

After saying this, he narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, "You've done things that I've never been able to imagine. These things almost seem like magic, but I know that it's not that. You seem to possess knowledge that no one seems to have."

A bitter laugh rang out in my mind when I heard this, but I kept the expression on my face calm.

The second prince just calmly said with a smile, "I know that it's hard to believe me right now, but I hope that my actions over the next few days will convince you of my sincerity."
