Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Naturally, this escape wasn't missed by those that were inside the manor.

An hour later, the fourth prince found out that the prisoner was missing and he flew into a rage.

"How could you let him escape?" The fourth prince said as he pointed his finger in Duke Yuletide's face.

Duke Yuletide his head down as he said, "I'm sorry, your highness. I never expected him to suddenly make a break for it. I'll be sure to punish the guards that let this happen."

Though he said this, it was clear that he wasn't actually planning on doing anything like that.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes to look at Duke Yuletide before saying, "I don't care what you have to do, find him! I'll give you three days to find him or else you should know what will happen."

Duke Yuletide slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he still gave a nod in the end.

After all, there was no denying that this was his fault.

The fourth prince just looked at him for a bit longer before turning around to head back inside.

Duke Yuletide was surprised to see this so he asked, "Your highness, where are you going?"

The fourth prince stopped and looked at Duke Yuletide to say, "Where else would I be going? I'm going back to enjoy myself."

Duke Yuletide was even more surprised when he heard this, but he didn't let that surprise show on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then please enjoy yourself, your highness."

The fourth prince gave a nod before heading in without turning back once.

When Duke Yuletide was left alone there, there was someone that came up to him.

This was the captain of the guards that had been in charge of watching over the cage.

When he came over, he bowed his head and asked, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Duke Yuletide didn't answer this question as he turned to pat this captain on the shoulder before saying with a smile, "Good job. You can leave the rest to me."

The captain of the guard was surprised, but he quickly gave a nod before turning to leave.

Once Duke Yuletide was alone again, he stroked his chin and said to himself, "Strange, why would he act this way?"

The person that he was referring to was the fourth prince.

The fourth prince that he knew wouldn't act this way since he was someone who was very serious about the things that he did. There was no way that someone like him would have just ignored this break out to go back to partying.

He would have surely sent his men out to find the prisoner who escaped and captured them regardless of the cost.

It wasn't just the rumours about the fourth prince that Duke Yuletide had this impression of the fourth prince, it was also his own investigations into the fourth prince.

Duke Yuletide had full confidence in his information network since this was something that had been developed for many generations now.

So he was certain that the fourth prince was up to something.

"How should I go about this?" Duke Yuletide said to himself.

If he didn't nip this problem in the bud, it might develop into something that was bad for him…

So it seemed like it should be better to take some kind of action.

After being lost in thought for a bit, Duke Yuletide suddenly gave a snap.

When he did, there was a dark clothed figure that suddenly appeared behind him. It was as if this dark clothed figure had just appeared out of nowhere.

After appearing, that dark clothed figure bowed down to Duke Yuletide and said, "My lord."

Duke Yuletide didn't respond to this and just simply asked, "Has the package been secured?"

The dark clothed figure gave a nod before saying, "They've already taken the package to that place and are just awaiting your instructions. There are no problems on that side at all."

Duke Yuletide gave a nod, but he didn't say anything else as he was lost in thought again.

After a long time, he finally said, "Perhaps I should provoke that side a bit to see if I can get some information. Even if I don't get any information, I should be able to gain a few things by making this move."

Then with a satisfied nod to what seemed to be himself, Duke Yuletide said, "Go cut off the head of the captain of the guard and present it to the fourth prince."

The dark clothed figure just simply gave a nod before standing up to leave.

This dark clothed figure wasn't surprised at all by the cruelty that Duke Yuletide was demonstrating since he was already used to it.

Once the dark clothed figure left, Duke Yuletide stroked his chin again for a bit before saying, "Now that all the pieces are in my hands, it's all about how I play them. With this, I should be able to accomplish the generations long wish of my family."

A smile slowly appeared on his face as he said this.

If there was anyone there to see that smile, they would have been shocked.

This was different from the friendly smile that Duke Yuletide normally had on his face.

This was the smile that a villain would have.

No, it was even beyond that.

This was the smile that a psychopath would have.

This was just the pressure that came from generations of expectations placed on him, causing him to be pushed to the brink.

But it was all about to end with this.

…

When the blindfold was removed from my eyes, I found that I was in a luxurious room.

This was clearly a room that was designed to show off wealth and provide comfort, but the problem was…

Where was this?

"My lord, if you please, we have prepared a bath for you."

I was surprised by this voice that suddenly rang out.
