Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

For the first time in a while, I was finally let outside.

I was surrounded by several men in dark clothes that all belonged to the Snake Syndicate. They looked like they were there to protect me, but there was no mistake that they would have cut me down at any moment if they were even the slightest bit suspicious of me.

They had been sent by Duke Yuletide to make sure that I did what I was supposed to do.

As for what that was, there was a reason why I had been brought to the forest like this.

Simply put, I was here to accomplish our goal of taking the Wyvern Stone.

Why the Wyvern Stone would be here, there was a simple reason.

The fourth prince had suddenly proposed a hunting trip, which was why they would soon be arriving in this place.

Duke Yuletide had certainly been surprised that the fourth prince would suggest a hunting trip at a time like this, but it was also the perfect opportunity for him to accomplish his goals.

So he accepted and arranged everything related to this.

He wanted to make sure that the fourth prince wouldn't be able to do anything on this hunting trip.

Which was why he thought the fourth prince had arranged this hunting trip in the first place. He thought that the fourth prince wanted to bring him into the woods to do something to him.

But he would turn this around on the fourth prince.

That was what Duke Yuletide was thinking.

It was just too bad for him that the fourth prince was fully aware of this.

After all, the fourth prince had one spy that Duke Yuletide never would have suspected.

With my perfect acting, Duke Yuletide was fully convinced that I was on his side.

He never would have suspected that I was feeding the enemy information from the inside.

All of it was going from Shadow Five to the fourth prince.

So this was going to be where this all ended.

Duke Yuletide's plan was that he would find a way to distract the fourth prince so that I would be able to take the Wyvern Stone.

The reason why I was the one that was going to take the Wyvern Stone was because he thought that I was the only one that could use it. So he wanted me nearby to stop the wyverns just in case anything happened.

After all, if the wyverns weren't stopped even if the stone was taken, then it would all be meaningless.

In the face of the might of the wyverns, Duke Yuletide wouldn't be able to do anything even if he controlled the Snake Syndicate.

So the only thing that he could do was try to take the Wyvern Stone and control the wyverns before anything else happened.

The only thing was...

He never told me what his actual plan was.

Duke Yuletide had only said to wait for the signal and then come out to take the Wyvern Stone, but he had never told me what the signal was. So I was just left standing there with these thugs while feeling awkward.

It was very quiet in this forest and other than the sounds of nature, no one else said a thing.

It was clear that everyone else was tense as well.

That was until there was a sudden sound that came from the distance.

It wasn't a loud sound, but it was clear that there was something over there that was coming over to where we were.

That was when the dark clothed thugs suddenly made me hide in the bushes.

I wasn't able to see much, but I was eventually able to see a group of horses coming down the path that we were hiding near. Sitting on one of the horses was the fourth prince.

Beside the fourth prince was Duke Yuletide.

With the way that the two of them were interacting, it seemed like they were having a good time. However, not a single person bought this since they all knew that it was impossible for them to just be having a good time like this.

The group that was behind them was clearly tense.

That included both the fourth prince's people and Duke Yuletide's people.

Suddenly, Duke Yuletide's horse stopped in the middle of the road near where we were and he got off the horse.

He waved his hand at the fourth prince and then moved to the side while holding his stomach.

It was as if he was saying that he needed to use the washroom.

But as he walked over, he shot a look at our group as if he wanted us to do something.

I didn't know what he wanted, but the thugs around me did.

So they had me move closer to the fourth prince.

Was that really their plan?

Faking a bowel emergency and then having me run forward to grab the Wyvern Stone?

This seemed like a plan that any idiot could come up with no matter how one looked at it.

It didn't seem like something that Duke Yuletide would employ…

But it seemed that this wasn't the only thing that Duke Yuletide had prepared.

All of a sudden, there was a loud rustling that came from the bushes on the other side.

While everyone was turning to look in that direction, there was a roar that cut through the air. This was a powerful roar that could even pop eardrums if one was right beside the thing that gave this roar.

Then the bushes parted to reveal a large bear charging through it.

Everyone was surprised since they hadn't sensed the bear at all, but the fourth prince's men didn't hesitate to move in to stop the bear.

Duke Yuletide's people also moved, but they didn't go as forward as the fourth prince's men.

If I had to guess, this was most likely the signal that Duke Yuletide wanted me to take.

So I stood up and started moving towards the fourth prince.
