Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Duke Yuletide had an uncertain look on his face after the fourth prince just ignored him.

He knew that the fourth prince was planning something and he had no idea what it was, so he couldn’t help feeling more and more worried.

There was the reputation that the fourth prince had and Duke Yuletide knew that his enemies didn’t get off easy. So now that the fourth prince had captured him and his family, what would he do?

There was a good fifteen minutes that passed before the spy from before came back.

When he did, he went right over to the fourth prince and saluted to him before saying, ”Your highness, it has been prepared.”

The fourth prince just gave a simple nod before turning to the guards surrounding Duke Yuletide.

He waved his hand at the guards and said, ”Alright, bring him along.”

They nodded in agreement before forcing Duke Yuletide to follow the fourth prince.

As he followed, Duke Yuletide had a worried look on his face.

Before this, he had been trying to remain as calm as possible. However, it seemed that he wasn’t able to remain calm any longer after everything that the fourth prince said to him.

It seemed like he was finally cracking under the pressure of all of this.

He really wanted to know what the fourth prince had in store for him.

However, the fourth prince had a calm look on his face as he led Duke Yuletide through the streets of Vayne City.

As they walked through the city, there were some people that recognized Duke Yuletide and started to follow the procession. However, they weren’t able to approach since the elite guards of the fourth prince kept them away.

Duke Yuletide couldn’t help feeling more and more uneasy seeing the number of people that were following them.

After all, it wasn’t as if he had a good relationship with the people of his city.

He…could not be considered a good lord…

The fourth prince led Duke Yuletide all the way to the square where there were already a bunch of people gathered. When the people that followed the procession came into the square, they joined the crowd and completely filled up the square.

The number of people that were in the square had now reached a scary number.

Duke Yuletide however wasn’t paying any attention to this.

What had caught his attention when he came into the square was the stage that had been set up in the square.

There wasn’t much that was on the stage other than a pillory.

It seemed like a place where one would show off criminals…

With the crowd that was gathered and the stage that had been set up, Duke Yuletide was beginning to slowly piece together what he thought the fourth prince’s plan was. To bring him here at this time, it was very likely that he would place him in the pillories in front of everyone.

The fourth prince just ignored the way that Duke Yuletide looked at him as he brought Duke Yuletide onto the stage.

The crowd immediately recognized Duke Yuletide since he was someone that they all knew, but many of them were confused about who was leading Duke Yuletide up. That was until some of the merchants in the crowd recognized the fourth prince and started spreading his identity.

The crowd was soon filled with whispers, but the main thing that everyone was asking was…

”Why is the fourth prince here and why did he have the duke locked up like this?”

After bringing Duke Yuletide up to the stage, the fourth prince stepped forward to say, ”The duke here has been arrested on counts of treason and he will be standing trial later on.”

”Si!” A cold breath came from the crowd as shock quickly filled them.;

It was clear that they never expected the first words from the fourth prince to be this.

However, there were many people that seemed like they were a bit happy to hear this.

It was clear that Duke Yuletide was not a good ruler for this city.

It was only because of the power that their family received at the founding of the kingdom that they even had this power in the first place.

Once the fourth prince waited a bit, he continued by saying, ”So before we bring the duke here to the capital to stand trial, we have a little punishment prepared for him. This is a special punishment that I’m giving him with my right as the fourth prince, so I hope that everyone will not mind how small it is.”

The fourth prince gave a nod to the guards near the pillory and they opened it up.

Duke Yuletide looked a bit relieved when he heard this since he had already expected this to happen. But he also heard the fourth prince say that he would bring him to the capital for trial, so he knew that the fourth prince wouldn’t kill him.

What was a bit of humiliation compared to the chance of survival?

In the end, he would just take this and turn the other cheek.

Or at least that was what Duke Yuletide thought would happen.

However, it wasn’t him that was brought over to the pillory.

The guards that were watching over Duke Yuletide just kept him there in place.

Instead, there were some other guards that left the square as if they were going to pick something up.

Duke Yuletide looked confused at first when he saw this as he had no idea what was happening, but the expression on his face quickly changed. The moment that he saw who the guards were bringing in, there was a look of shock and panic on his face.

He looked at them for a bit before turning to the fourth prince to say, ”You, you monster! How dare you involve them!”

The reason for this large reaction from him was because the guards had come out with his wife and daughter.
