Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Even with the Orb of the Dead being enhanced by absorbing the other Orb of the Dead, it still took two more days to control all of the undead into moving to a certain area.

It was partly because of just how many undead there were.

It was also partly because the Orb of the Dead was not something that could be used that easily.

That meant that I just wasn’t strong enough to use the Orb of the Dead properly.

Even if I had my mana pool enhanced with the Staff of Earth, that didn’t mean that my mana pool was at the point where I was considered invincible. My mana pool was still only on par with a normal magician now and couldn’t compare to those powerful magicians that had insanely large mana pools.

So I wouldn’t be able to use the Orb of the Dead continuously even if I wanted to.

Of course, it wasn’t as if I was stalling because I knew that I would be in trouble after returning to the capital.

It wasn’t as if I was stalling because I knew that I would receive a scolding for everything that I had done.

But once all of the undead had been moved, it was time for me to face the music and head back.

As expected, I was immediately pulled into the royal study where it wasn’t just the prime minister and the chancellor who were waiting for me. There was also Rose and Anglea who were in the room waiting as well.

The other wives weren’t here, but that was only because they had Rose and Angela as their representatives.

They didn’t need to be here if they knew that Rose and Angela were here.

The two of them would be enough to give me the scolding that I deserved.

The only thing that I could hope for was that the prime minister and the chancellor would help hold them back a bit. But based on the way that they were standing on the side, it didn’t seem that was likely.

”What were you thinking?”

That was the first thing that Rose said after I sat down in front of them.

She didn’t even say anything about what I had done or explain what this question was for, she just directly asked me this question.

That put me in an awkward situation as I looked at the way that she was looking at me.

After thinking for a bit, I bowed my head and said, ”I’m sorry.”

Rose didn’t say anything at first, but then she shook her head and gave a sigh as she said, ”Why do you need to apologize? Weren’t you doing it because you thought that you were right?”

I slowly looked up at her with a trace of disbelief in my eyes.

It was as if I couldn’t understand the words that came out of her mouth.

After all, I didn’t think that she would say something like this.

It was a bit too hard for me to believe that she would be this understanding...

No, the way that she looked at me made it clear that she wasn’t this understanding. There was something that she wasn’t saying in her eyes as she looked at me, so I knew that there had to be something that she was holding back.

I calmly said, ”I didn’t think things through properly, that was my fault.”

At this, Rose suddenly gave a nod as if confirming this before saying, ”Did you think about what kind of effect your actions would have on us? Have you thought about what we would do if something happened to you?”

Angela gave a strong nod of agreement before looking at me just like Rose did.

At this, I was taken aback since I had never seen Rose like this before.

This was different from the other things that I’ve done.

I really put myself in danger this time by charging out onto the battlefield with Joan, so it was different from all of the other risks that I’ve taken.

So that was why I understood why she was acting this way.

I didn’t have anything to say or rather it was hard for me to say anything when I saw the way that the two of them looked at me.

The guilt that I felt made it hard for me to respond since I knew that I had put them through a lot.

After all, I could imagine how they must have felt when they read the report from Klein on what happened in the fight with the lich.

So all I could do was bow my head again as I said, ”I promise that I won’t do anything reckless like that again.”

The two of them were silent once more and when I peeked up, I could see that they were looking at me with the same worried looks on their faces. I really didn’t know what to say or what to do in this situation.

So all I could do was lower my head and wait for them to react.

In the end, what happened was that I wasn’t able to avoid the scolding that I had expected.

There was a part of me that thought it wasn’t coming after the worried looks that they gave me, but the bigger part of me knew that it was still coming in the end. So I didn’t say anything as I just sat there and accepted their scolding.

It took quite a long time before they were finished with their scolding, but I knew that there was a reason for this.

It was their way of showing that they cared, so I just calmly listened to all of it.

When it was over, that was when the prime minister who had been on the side acting as if he

was made of air finally spoke.

”There’s something that we need to talk about.”

After saying this, he pulled out some pieces of paper to show me.
