Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Dinner was a somber affair since the matters between Rose and her parents hadn't been cleared up.

Lily tried her best to keep the mood light, but it was clear that no one was in the mood for it.

So after dinner, we all went to our own rooms.

They had tried to put Cecilia in a different room, no doubt this was because of Henry, but she just came to our room without a care. It was as if she was already familiar with this manor, but that wasn't strange since she was Rose's childhood friend in the first place.

It turned out that the room that we had been given was Rose's room in the first place.

This was where she lived until she was married off the baron.

Now that she was back, she couldn't help feeling a bit nostalgic seeing her old room. However, it wasn't just nostalgia that she felt...

As she looked around the room, I could see that there was a trace of sadness that was also in her eyes. It was as if she was remembering things that she didn't want to remember.

Seeing this, I took another point away from Count Amboise.

Though in my books, it wasn't as if he was anywhere near being positive yet. So it didn't really matter if I took away another point from his total.

In a sense, that was his super power.

He was so far down that it was hard for him to fall any further...

After taking some time to look around her room, Rose took a deep breath and turned to look at me with a calm look as she said, "Well? What's it going to be?"

I was surprised to see her compose herself this quickly, but I also composed myself and said, "I want to punish him."

Rose had a surprised look before asking, "You're not going to say that there's no need for that since they're family?"

A wry smile appeared on my face as I didn't expect her to ask this.

I thought that Rose would be the one that would be hesitant since she had me step in earlier, but it seemed that this wasn't the case. Perhaps it might be different if it was her father or mother, but it seemed like there was no love lost with this brother of hers.

So I just calmly said, "Did you see the way that he looked at Cecilia?"

Rose wasn't surprised when she heard this, instead she just gave a sigh and said, "I know, I know, he's been like that forever. He's a spoiled child that won't listen to what I say, so it might be good for him to learn a lesson."

The look that appeared in her eyes was a bit scary and I could sympathize with Henry for a bit since I had seen sisters bullying their brothers before. But that sympathy really didn't last long since in the first place, he was just getting what he deserved.

Instead of worrying about that, I turned to look at Cecilia and asked, "This is something that involves you, so I wanted to see how you felt about it."

Cecilia just gave a simple nod as she said, "As long as you decide to do something, I will support you. Not to mention, you're doing this on my behalf. You don't have to worry about me, I never liked him in the first place."

I gave a nod before turning to look at Rose with a complicated look.

There was something that I wanted to tell her, it was related to what I had talked to her father about.

Rose could see that there was something that I was agonizing over, so she said, "It's alright, you can just tell me."

The way that she looked at me seemed like she was ready to accept anything that I had to tell her. However, there was still a part of me that was afraid that this would leave a deep scar in her heart.

In the end, I took a deep breath and told her everything that I talked about with her father.

Rose's expression didn't change as she listened to me, but Cecilia's expression did the more that she listened. It was almost as if she couldn't believe what she was listening to.

When I was done, Cecilia suddenly slammed her fist down on the table in front of us and said, "How could he feel that way about his own daughter?"

But then she revealed a worried look as she looked at Rose.

Rose had a calm look on her face the entire time, as if she wasn't bothered by this.

Though to say that she wasn't bothered by this at all was a lie.

After a long silence, Rose gave a deep sigh before saying, "It seems like there's something I need to discuss with my father."

Both Cecilia and I remained silent as we waited to see what else Rose had to say, but she quickly calmed her face and looked up at me to say, "But before that, you have to take care of my brother."

I was surprised by how calm she was being and I was worried that she might be holding her feelings in.

I was about to move forward to say something, but she raised her hand to stop me and said, "I know what you're about to say and you don't have to worry. I'll support you in whatever you need to do, so you just do what you need to do. After this is over, I'll have a proper talk with my father."

There was a touched feeling that filled my heart and I wanted to say something, but I felt that it would just cheapen the sentiment if I did…

So I just gave a nod and said, "Un."

With that, I gave a snap and there was a dark figure that appeared in the room.

It was Shadow Five.
