Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Henry and the rest of his men were shocked to hear this.

After all, they never thought that I would suddenly speak up for them.

In the first place, we weren't even related other than me being married to Rose.

His own biological sister was treating him that way and here I was speaking up for him.

It really was a strange feeling seeing this…

But Henry remained silent as he waited to see what would happen next.

Rose narrowed her eyes to look at me and the two of us just looked at each other for a bit before she finally lowered her head to say, "Alright, we'll listen to you."

Henry was even more shocked when he saw this.

After all, he knew what kind of personality his sister had, so he knew how she would have normally responded. It definitely wouldn't have been how she responded now…

However, he quickly gathered himself and said, "Then shall we head to the city?"

There were many things that he didn't understand, but there was one thing that he did understand. Instead of dwelling too deeply on one thing, it was better to just go along with it and slowly figure out what was happening.

Not to mention, this was a situation where he had some form of control.

After all, they were the hosts here and they were the ones that it seemed that Duke Zwein wanted to meet. So they should be able to sway him to a certain extent as long as they didn't go overboard.

Rose narrowed her eyes to look at Henry again, but she calmed down when I patted her on the shoulder.

After seeing the gaze from me, she lowered her head and moved behind me as if she was completely submissive.

Henry had a visible shocked look on his face when he saw this, but he quickly calmed himself down and led the way for them.

As they led the way, as we flew on the back of Joan, Rose and I exchanged a look.

This was a look that made it clear that all of this was planned.

From the very beginning, these were the roles that Rose had laid out for us.

She wanted me to be the one that seemed like I was in charge so they would focus their attention on me.

As for why she wanted that…

It was because she knew that her father and brother were men who didn't think much of women. She had seen it growing up in that house, they were people that didn't think that women were capable even though this was a world where gender equality was quite good since women were able to take any jobs they wanted.

It was just that these two were rare misogynists, so they looked down on women in the first place.

That was how Rose had been raised, so it was a wonder how she had turned out the way that she did.

Though if one thought about it…the more that one was taught one way, the more that they would want to do things another way. Perhaps that did explain why Rose turned out the way that she did.

When we arrived in the town, Henry awkwardly asked us to keep our wyverns outside of the gates.

After all, this was one of those towns that hadn't had to build facilities for wyverns yet.

They were far away from the frontlines and this was a relatively safe area, so the wyverns had never come here before.

But it was clear by the materials that they were stockpiling that they were prepared to build these facilities at any time.

This actually made things easier for me since now I knew exactly what they wanted from me.

If it wasn't the wyverns, why else could it be?

In that case, I knew what cards I held and how to play them.

It would be easy to deal with them.

I could see that Rose had the same look in her eyes as me when she saw these materials piled on the side.

After leaving the wyverns, the only ones that came with us were Shaka and Cecilia.

Even though this was a personal matter, I had Shaka come since he was the strongest person that I knew that could act as my guard. If things went wrong, I needed a one man army like him.

As for Cecilia…

"Isn't that Cecilia?" Henry suddenly asked after Cecilia dismounted her wyvern and opened up her helmet.

Because she had been in full armour and was riding on the wyvern before, Henry hadn't actually recognized her. However, the moment that he saw her, he immediately went to greet her.

The way that he greeted her was even more enthusiastic than when he greeted me or Rose.

The look in his eyes also made it clear that he had other intentions.

So before she could answer, I said, "Cecilia is our guard, which is why she came with us."

Henry was surprised that I answered for her before saying, "Oh, I never thought that you would still be with Rose after all this time. It seems like the two of you really are close."

Once again, I answered for her by saying, "It's not that they're just close, she's serving as the captain of our knights right now. So it's only normal that she's with us as we travel."

Henry gave a nod before saying, "Still, it's good to see you…"

Before he could finish, I added, "But then again, it would be strange if I didn't bring my wife back to see her hometown."

This time, there was a much stronger reaction from Henry as he looked at us in shock. After a long moment of silence, he asked, "What did you just say?"

I looked at him with a smile as I said, "I said that it would be strange if I didn't bring my wife back to her hometown."

"Your wife? You mean my sister?" Henry asked in a slow voice.

I just calmly said, "Yes, your sister is my wife, but I have more than one wife. Cecilia is my second wife, along with the head of our knights."

Henry looked even more shocked when he heard this before turning to look at Cecilia.

Cecilia didn't even care about how he looked at her as she made her way over to where Rose and I were. She just stood beside me, as if she was using this to prove what I said.

Henry's face twisted when he saw this.

There was a clear look of anger and hatred, as well as a look of betrayal that appeared on his face. It was clear that there were other feelings that he had for Cecilia, but that wasn't strange with how beautiful she was.

It was just that she was my wife now, so…I wouldn't let anyone do anything to her.

In a colder voice, I asked, "Brother in law, is there some kind of problem?"

Henry slowly came back to his senses when he heard this and that look disappeared from his face, but there was still a trace of anger and hatred in his eyes as he looked at me.

But he said, "No, no, of course not." At that, he revealed a smile and said, "I was just surprised to see an old childhood friend."

Gesturing forward, he said, "Shall we? Our parents are waiting for you."

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before giving a nod.

But in my mind…I already thought about how I would take care of him in the future.

Nobody would lay a finger on any of my wives.
