Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

In the end, it was up to me to diffuse the situation since there was no one else that was qualified.

At the same time, I could see the subtle looks that Rose was giving me.

I knew that she also wanted me to do this.

After all, the plan was to stay in the first place and take care of her family.

If we were to leave just like this, there was no telling what they would have done in the future. Instead, it was better to stay here and manipulate them into doing what we wanted them to do.

It was better to subtly control the family rather than to forcefully take over later.

So with a cough, I put a hand on Rose's shoulder and said, "Now, now, there's no need to act so fierce. We came here to check on your family and there's no telling what could happen. Your father is most likely weak from his illness, so it's possible that he might relapse because of this. As such, we should stay and make sure that he's alright, right?"

Rose just looked at me for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

When they heard this, the looks on the faces of the others looked a bit better.

However, before they could say anything else...

"Though they have been a bit rude, so it doesn't seem like there's a need to stay that long." I suddenly raised a finger and said, "One day, we'll just stay one night and see how they act. If they can change their ways, then we'll stay longer. If they can't, then there's no need for us to stay any longer."

Rose gave a much stronger nod this time before turning to look at her family.

The way that she looked at them made them feel pressured again, which caused them to remain silent.

Though it wasn't as bad for her mother and father, it seemed like she was putting quite a bit of pressure on her brother.

In the end, it was Lily who said, "Sweetie, let's go and have some tea. There's a lot that I want to talk to you about."

Then turning to me, she said, "As for the men, I'm sure that your father will want to talk to your husband. Since he's your father, he'll want to have a proper talk with your husband."

Rose slightly knitted her brows when she heard this, but I just gave her a nod to show that it was fine.

It was only then that she left with Cecilia and her mother.

Shaka on the other hand stood there behind me the entire time without moving.

Once it was just the four of us left in the room, I turned to look at Henry and said, "You can leave now. There's nothing for you here."

Henry was completely taken aback when he heard this.

There was a confused and surprised look on his face as he had no idea what was happening, but there was also a trace of worry in his eyes. It was as if he could tell that there was something wrong...

But then I said with a smile, "I want to have a private talk with my father in law. I hope that you can understand that."

Henry's expression slowly relaxed before he said with a smile, "Of course, brother in law. There are some things that I want to talk to you about as well, but I'll wait until you're done with father."

With that Henry and Shaka also left the room.

Shaka raised a brow to look at me when I asked him to leave, but he left still when I gave him a confident nod.

Then it was only the count and I left in the room.

There was an awkward silence that hung in the air as neither of us said a thing.

Both of us just sat there with calm looks on our faces, but it was clear that one side was faking it while one side was actually calm. As for which side was which, it was quite easy to tell just based on the looks in our eyes.

After a long time, I finally broke the silence by saying, "There's really nothing for you."

Count Amboise knitted his brows when he heard this.

He didn't say anything as he just looked at me with this look on his face, but I also didn't say a thing as I looked back at him with a calm look on my face.

It didn't seem like he was about to say a single thing as he just sat there staring at me, so I said, "If you don't discipline that one child, you might end up losing even more."

This time, Count Amboise couldn't remain silent.

The looks in his eyes already made it clear how worried he was about this situation, so the only reason that he had remained silent this entire time was to gauge how bad the situation really was. He wanted to judge what I was thinking and see what I would do.

The words that I just said were the final nail in the coffin.

It was clear that I wasn't someone that was just an empty lamp, I was someone that knew exactly what was happening and I was planning on taking action accordingly.

These words that I gave him were the first and only warning.

So Count Amboise had no choice but to take it.

After all, the difference in status and power was clear.

With a sigh, Count Amboise said, "I've spoiled that child too much since he was young, it's my fault."

I was surprised since I never thought that these would be his first words, but the look on his face told me that he was being sincere.

It was as if he was letting out all of the feelings that were deep in his heart.

But there was also something that I wanted to ask.

"Why do you treat your children differently?"
