Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1348

Chapter 1348: Playing a trick
After a long moment of silence of being lost in thought, I finally took a deep breath to gather myself.

Ann had been silently looking at me and I saw that she steeled her heart when she saw me look back up at her.

So I said, ” I understand your situation, but it seems that this is much more dangerous than I thought.”

With a sigh, I explained what I inferred from the name that she gave me.

“Sorcery Empire.” Ann slowly repeated with a strange look on her face.

It was clear that she didn’t expect that her ‘husband’ would have this kind of backer behind him. Even if she knew what kind of person he was and what kind of things he did, she didn’t expect his backing to be this deep.

And as this information sank in, there was a trace of worry that appeared in her eyes.

As a human that lived in one of the human kingdoms, it was only natural that she would have heard about the Sorcery Empire before. She would also know exactly what kind of power the Sorcery Empire would have and how dangerous it was to go against them.

That was why it seemed like she was worried that this person in front of her might get cold feet now that he had obtained this information.

I could see the change in her expression, so I said, “I know what you’re feeling, but I still feel like you have more value, so I’ll help you. But for me to help you, it means that I’ll need your help to play a trick on your husband. If we can’t play this trick on him, then it’ll mean having to deal with the Sorcery Empire and I’m sure you know what that entails.”

There was a slow nod that came from Ann to show that she agreed with this, but there was still a strange look that had a trace of worry to it that was cast in my direction.

Even if I said that I was going to help her, it was hard for her to completely trust this.

After all, the other side was the Sorcery Empire.

For any human of the human race, they knew what the four empires of the human race represented. They were the highest peak that one could reach in terms of the human race, so it wasn’t as if any of the empires were easy to face.

For someone like her, it wasn’t as if she actually had anything to offer that would be enough to offset possibly offending one of the four empires.

It was just that she didn’t know me at all.

I had ways of dealing with the four empires since I had knowledge that no one else had in the world. At the same time, I had already dealt with the four empires before and with the status that I currently had, it should deter them from siding with the sly looking noble.

But before all of that.

I looked right into Ann’s eyes and said, “You shouldn’t underestimate yourself, you have more value than you know and that’s why I want you. I promise that I’ll free you from your chains and take you away from this place.”

A trace of surprise and uncertainty appeared in Ann’s eyes when she heard this, but I just calmly looked right at her with the same determined look in her eyes.

I wanted to show her how serious I was and how I wouldn’t back down no matter what.

Eventually, there was a slow nod that came from her before she said, “What are you planning to do?”

With a sly smile, I said, “The plan is…”

As I described what I was planning to do, the look on Ann’s face slowly started to change.

It was first filled with surprise before slowly filling with shock. Then eventually she looked at me like there was something strange about me, as if she was seeing me for the first time.

Well, this was the first time that we were meeting, but it was as if she didn’t recognize me anymore even though we had already talked this much.

When I was done, I just waited to hear what she had to say about this.

With the same strange look on her face, she said, “I’m really glad that I’m not the one that has offended you.”

I shook my head with a smile before saying, “It’s not as if I would do this kind of thing on the regular. It’s only when someone deserves to be treated like this that I would do such a thing.”

Ann still looked at me with a strange look, but eventually she gave a nod.

…

When I came out the next morning, Klein and the others were waiting there for me.

They looked at me with a strange look after seeing me come out of the room, but they also looked at me with a bit of surprise.

After all, they didn’t see anything that they had expected to see.

It was because I didn’t do anything to Ann.

Even if she was given to me, it wasn’t as if I would do something like that.

Instead, I said to Klein and the others, “There’s something that I want you to take care of for me. We’ll be staying in this place for a bit, so first send a message back to the Kite Kingdom.”

After a pause, I made sure to add, “Make sure that you don’t tell them anything about what happened here. I don’t care what orders they gave you, but make sure that you tell them that we’re just staying here because of the king of the Lockhart Kingdom.”

Klein and the royal guards looked at me with one brow raised, but I didn’t back down on this.

After making sure that I stressed this, I said, “The other thing that I want you to do for me is…”

Strange looks appeared on their faces when they heard this, but they still nodded in agreement in the end.
