Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Since the matter of the demon king had been settled, we didn't stay for another day.

We had already discussed things with Duke Nergiante before heading to fight the demon king, so there wasn't much else for us to discuss.

Not to mention, we had already been away from our own kingdom for close to a month now.

It was fine for me to be away, but the fourth prince…

The longer that the fourth prince was away, the worse that it was for our kingdom.

So I had to bring him back as soon as possible.

For now, there wasn't much that we could even do with the Nergiante Dukedom in the first place.

The Nergiante Dukedom was just too far away for our kingdom to have proper relations with in the first place. So it was just building up a friendly relationship now for what would come later.

Such as if…our borders were to suddenly become closer, then it would be possible for us to build relations.

Such as if one of the kingdoms around us was taken over by us, decreasing the distance between us.

On the way home, we didn't say much as we were in a rush to head back.

But once we reached our kingdom's borders…I suddenly thought of something that I wanted to do.

If I were to head back to the capital now, the only thing that was waiting for me were a bunch of nobles that would be trying to bother me. As well, there would only be a bunch of lessons from the king on how to act like a king.

These days of traveling had been a very nice distraction from it all and I didn't want it to end.

So right after reaching our kingdom's borders, I suddenly said, "Let's make a detour."

Everyone was surprised when I suddenly made this suggestion, but the fourth prince seemed like he was the first one that agreed to this as he said, "Sure, where do you want to go?"

I could guess why he wanted to take a detour, but he was the last person that I could allow to take a detour.

So…

I looked at the shadows and said, "Grab him."

The shadows were surprised to hear this and they hesitated a bit, but they still grabbed the fourth prince in the end. Though it was clear by the way that they did it that they weren't willing to do so.

The only reason that they were doing this was because the fourth prince had given them the order to follow my orders during the trip.

Until we went back to the capital, this trip still wasn't over yet.

So they were still following my orders.

But then again, it wasn't like my order was a bad thing since they could guess what I was planning to do with the fourth prince.

"Brother, what are you doing?" The fourth prince asked in a panicked voice.

I just looked at him and calmly said, "Brother Noah, you're not getting out of work by using me as an excuse. You're going back to the capital."

The shadows all nodded in agreement to this when they heard me say this.

I knew that the shadow were worried about this, but they hadn't been able to do anything since the fourth prince was their master. As guards that had been trained in utmost loyalty, they couldn't go against the fourth prince in any way.

Even if they clearly didn't agree with his plans.

But the fourth prince…couldn't accept this that easily.

After all, he wouldn't just let me go have fun on my own while he was stuck doing work.

So he began to complain about this.

I gave a nod to the shadows to cover his mouth and stop him from complaining.

Then looking right at him, I said, "You can only blame yourself for sneaking out like that or else I can get even in another way later on."

The fourth prince suddenly stopped struggling when he heard this.

I gave a nod to the shadows who released the hands that were on his mouth to let the fourth prince speak again.

With a bitter smile, the fourth prince said, "You really are mean, aren't you?"

I just looked back at him with a faint smile as I said, "This is my kindness."

Then looking over at Shadow Five, I said, "I'll leave him in your hands during this time. You can go with the fourth prince to the capital."

Shadow Five was surprised to hear this, but she slowly gave a nod.

After all, even if she had an order from the fourth prince to follow me, the fourth prince had already said that all orders from me during this trip would be above all.

So for this time, she could follow this order and go with the fourth prince.

The fourth prince looked at me with a betrayed and sad look as he was brought back to the capital by the shadows, but it didn't seem like he was resisting as much as one thought he would.

I could tell from the look in his eyes that he knew what he had to do and was only acting this way because it was me.

If it was anyone else, he definitely wouldn't have acted this way.

Once the fourth prince's group left, there was only my group that was here.

This was the group that had Cecilia and the knights from my town, along with Shaka and his men.

I turned to look at them before saying, "Let's head home."

They were surprised to hear this, but then they happily nodded since it had been a long time since we had been back in my territory.

Since heading to the capital and after everything that happened, we hadn't been back home in close to two months now.

It wasn't just me that was missing home, all of them were missing their family back in my territory.

But I was missing someone else for a certain reason…

A reason that would end in our bedroom.
