Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

The representative had a very ugly look on his face when he saw Rose nodding at him like this.

The piece of paper that she had brought out was the contract that she wanted them to sign. It had all of the new terms that she was proposing.

These terms were far less favourable than the one that she had given them earlier. And the fact that she already had this contract prepared meant that she had already expected all of this to happen.

She had been planning to gouge them like this all along.

That was why they felt a chill earlier…

But what could they say?

Even if these terms were worse for them, it was still quite good in terms of what they would receive from this.

So could they reject this in hopes of getting better terms?

No, it was too late…

So with heavy looks on their faces, the representatives agreed to sign this contract.

At this point, the only thing that they could do was think of a way to explain all of this to the lords they served. They wanted to think of a way to spin it so that it was believable that this was the best deal that they could make.

Rose didn’t care about this, all she cared about was that they signed it in the end.

Once everyone signed the contract, there was nothing else that she needed to do here, so she left this place to Viscountess Henry.

She knew exactly what to do with these representatives.

Rose came over to grab my hand and then we left this room to head to another smaller room.

Sitting in this room was the princess who had already been served tea and cake.

No, judging by how it was laid out and the crumbs that were scattered, it seemed that she had been in here for a while.

She should have been sitting here since before the meeting had even begun.

When the princess saw the two of us come in, she looked at Rose with a smile and asked, ”Did it work?”

Rose looked back at her with a smile and said with a nod, ”It worked perfectly.”

I wasn’t surprised to see this since I had already figured that it was like this.

The moment that I saw Rose take out the contract, I had already figured out that this had to be intentional.

There was no way that this wasn’t intentional when she acted like this.

So I figured that she already knew about the princess being here and even cooperated with her to put pressure on those representatives.

But why was the princess here and why was she working with Rose?

It raised even more questions that it answered.

After waiting for them to finish talking, I came forward and gave a slight bow to say, ”Your highness, it’s an honour to host you in my territory. But if you do not mind, may I ask you something?”

The princess looked at me with a displeased look for some reason, but she still gave a nod of agreement.

Seeing this, I asked, ”Why are you here?”

I didn’t hold back at all and just bluntly asked this.

I know that this might seem rude, but at this point, it didn’t seem like there was any point in beating around the bush.

The princess also didn’t seem to mind that I was so forward about this, though she did seem a bit unhappy that I was asking her this question.

Still, she quickly revealed a smile and said, ”Didn’t my brother tell you that I was to be sent here as my royal father’s representative for the ore trade? So here I am.”

I was surprised to hear this, but I did remember that the fourth prince had mentioned this before.

Though I really never expected her to come this soon.

I had only been away for two weeks and the princess had suddenly dropped in.

During this, I also couldn’t help looking at Rose with an apologetic look.

I’m sure that she had suffered quite a bit having to deal with this while I was gone.

But to my surprise, I found that she didn’t seem bothered by it at all.

She just looked at me with a smile as if she was happy to see the princess here.

I couldn’t help feeling confused when I saw this, but I turned my attention back to the princess to say, ”Then your highness, are you going to talk to Haley about the ore trade? Unfortunately, she’s currently busy with another project, so she most likely won’t have the free time to discuss this with you. So in her place, I could help show you around first so you can get an idea of how trade goes.”

The princess shook her head before saying, ”There’s no need for that. I don’t really need to do anything since everything has been going well. My visit is nothing more than a formality.”’

I was surprised to see that the king trusted me this much, but I still felt strange.

After all, if she wasn’t here for this…then what was she here for?

As if she could understand what I was thinking, the princess suddenly said, ”What I’m actually here for has something to do with you, your lordship?”

”Me?” I couldn’t help saying in a confused voice.

The princess said with a nod, ”There’s something that I want your help with, so I need you to do something for me.”

I raised a brow and said, ”I’ll do what I can, but I’m sure that your highness can find someone better to help with this, right?”

It wasn’t that I was chasing her away, but…

It was never a good thing to get too close to the royals.

But the princess just shook her head and said, ”No, it’s something that only you can do. So I definitely need your help on this matter.”

I was even more confused when I heard this, but I slowly said with a nod, ”Alright, I’ll do what I can to help your highness.”
