Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 801 How about a ride?

When morning came, we came down with smiles on our faces.

It was as if the tension from yesterday didn't exist at all.

Lily and Henry were happy to see this, though there was a trace of something else in Henry's eyes when he saw the three of us come down together.

It was something that seemed to be aimed at Cecilia...

But he had learned his lesson from yesterday and learned how to hide it before we came over.

Of course, I didn't miss it since my attention had been on him the entire time.

As for the count, he had a calm look on his face, but his brows were slightly knit.

This was no different from how he normally acted, but there was a sparkle of something different in his eyes.

When we sat down, I said, "How about we go and take a look at the wyverns today? I'm sure that all of you are interested in the wyverns that we've tamed."

Henry was surprised when he heard this before his eyes lit up.

This was something that he wanted to bring up, but he had no idea how to bring it up. But if this brother in law of his was to bring it up on his own, that was the best case scenario for him.

Of course, this wasn't his house.

This was the count's manor and as the count's successor, it wasn't his place to speak.

So instead of answering, Henry looked at the count as if he was urging him to agree to this.

The count looked a bit disappointed when he saw Henry acting like this.

After all, anyone with a brain would have noticed that something was strange after the tension from yesterday. If this brother in law of his suddenly acted this way after the tension from then, he must be planning something.

But it seemed like even his wife was going along with it.

It seemed like she wanted to believe that everything was fine, that she forced herself to believe in it.

So it was only the count who could see through everything.

But it wasn't as if he could say anything.

First, there was no need to mention if his son and wife would even believe him.

If he were to actually say anything, then there was no doubt that more drastic measures would be taken.

In a sense, this was a form of mercy that was shown because they were family.

As such, the count could only give a look to Rose as if he was asking her to show mercy.

However, Rose had a calm and firm look on her face that made it clear that there were no negotiations.

The count couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine when he saw this.

This was the side of his daughter that he was afraid of, the part that he had been afraid of all this time…

But there really was nothing that he could do in this situation when everyone was against him.

So all that the count could do was give a nod of agreement.

After getting his approval, there was no time wasted on the part of Henry as he started urging everyone to go to the wyverns as soon as possible. The way that he was acting, it was almost like he was some kind of child that was excited about something he was interested in.

It was clear that this kind of person was spoiled since he was young, but this was something that the count had already admitted to.

As we left the manor, the count moved closer to me and simply said, "Please show what mercy you can."

He didn't expect an answer in the way that he said this, almost as if he was already accepting what was to come. However, the way that he said this made it clear that he was still favouring one person over the other.

This was not something that I was happy to see, but I kept my tongue.

Looking at the count, I said, "That will depend on him."

The count slightly knitted his brows, but he eventually gave a nod.

After all, he knew that this was already me being reasonable.

If I wanted, I could have done all of this without even telling him anything.

The fact that I told him meant that I was still trying to give him a chance to make up for everything that happened in the past and still build a relationship between us. But the only way that this was going to happen was if he allowed us to do what we needed to do.

If he were to stand in our way…there was no way that we would be able to work with each other.

So the count could only accept what was about to happen.

The wyverns were being held outside of the town since there was no place for them to stay, so we had to leave the town to reach them. Of course, with the count leading the way, there was no trouble in leaving the town.

They were happy to open the gates for us and let us out.

When we arrived at where the wyverns were, the members of our group who had stayed with the wyverns came forward to greet us…or rather they came to greet me.

It didn't seem like they cared about the count or his family at all.

The wyverns also came forward to greet us since we had been separated for a night.

While everyone was with their wyverns, I was secretly observing Henry.

I could see the look on his face, the look that made it clear that he wanted to get to know the wyverns better.

The reason that he wanted the wyverns perhaps wasn't just because he wanted the power of the wyverns, but also…

So I suddenly asked him, "Do you want to ride the wyverns? How about we give you a ride then?"
