Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Once it was just the two of us left in the room, I looked at the priest with narrowed eyes and asked, ”What are you looking for?”

Once King Nergiante was gone, the semblance of courtesy was also gone since there was no reason to show this person courtesy.

He wasn’t here to be courteous either, so what would being courteous to him give me?

The priest didn’t seem to mind as he just calmly said, ”There’s no need to rush. How about sitting down first before we talk about this?”

I was still standing up after standing up to pat King Nergiante on the shoulder.

I narrowed my eyes to look at the priest before sitting down without showing any expressions.

Once again, the priest didn’t seem to mind as he calmly took a sip of the tea that was on the table.

It was as if he felt no worry at all.

It was almost as if he was certain that I would agree with whatever request that he made. That made me slightly knit my brows.

I just looked at the priest and waited to see what he would have to say.

The priest looked at me with that same calm smile on his face, but then he slowly looked down at my hand.

The moment that he looked down, I knew exactly what he was looking at.

I didn’t bother hiding my hand, but I also didn’t bother showing him the thing that he was looking for.

Seeing that I wasn’t going to do anything, there was a trace of disappointment that appeared on the priest’s face. However, that trace of disappointment quickly disappeared as he looked at me and said, ”Your majesty, there’s no need to be this tense. Since you have the Mark of God on you, it could be said that we are on the same side. After all, we all worship the same lord, so there’s no need to consider us outsiders.”

I narrowed my eyes to look at him.

If I didn’t know better, I might have actually been fooled by him.

The words that the priest said could be considered convincing, but it didn’t work on me who had experience with this.

With how many scammers there were on Earth, it really was hard to fall for any tricks here.

Let alone this kind of religious scam.

After looking at the priest for a bit, I said, ”You can say that, but I don’t think the same thing. Now, why don’t you tell me why you’re really here.”

The priest’s smile didn’t change even though I showed my aggression.

Instead, he just calmly said, ”We just have a simple request for your majesty in return for all of this.”

As expected, there was no free lunch in this world.

As expected, they wanted something from me for letting all of this go.

But that didn’t mean that I would just agree with whatever they asked of me.

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, the priest continued by saying, ”It’s actually a very simple request. We’re just asking your majesty to take a trip to the Holy Empire when you have the time.”

I didn’t say anything as I just kept looking at the priest with narrowed eyes.

With the way that he said this, it really seemed like he didn’t have any ulterior motives in making this request.

Not to mention that as the official delegation from the Holy Empire, the things that he said had quite serious consequences.

Even if it was in a private setting, the things that he said were not easily taken back.

So in that case...

”Are you saying that just so you’ll trap me once I go to the Holy Empire?” I asked in a calm voice.

”Of course not.” The priest shook his head before saying, ”If your majesty is worried about that, we’re willing to write a statement that promises that we’ll let your majesty return after a certain period of time and leave it with your country.”

I was surprised to hear this.

After all, if they really did this, then it would be the same as leaving a binding contract for themselves.

The moment that they broke this and the written statement was revealed, it would apply more than enough pressure for them to follow this written statement.

So it didn’t make sense that they would do something like this to themselves.

I narrowed my eyes to look at the priest for a bit before saying, ”Then you’ll use different methods to make me stay? Small threats or are you going to use the honey trap? No, then again, it’s unlikely that you would use a honey trap, right?”

The priest just had the same smile on his face as if he wasn’t bothered by this at all. When I finished asking this question, he just calmly said, ”We just wish for your highness to come to our Holy Empire for a bit and then we’ll send you back right after. We will not try anything to force your majesty to do anything that you wouldn’t want to do.”

The more that he acted this way, the more confused I was.

I just couldn’t understand what his goal here was.

Even if I were to visit the Holy Empire, it didn’t seem like there would be anything to gain from a short visit like that.

It really seemed like they weren’t gaining anything from this...

But if this was enough to keep them off my back in the future, then it was something that

could be considered.

So in the end, I said, ”I’ll consider it.”

The priest didn’t seem to mind this at all as he gave a simple nod in response and said, ”I hope

that you will think about this favourably.”

I once again narrowed my eyes to look at the priest.

I just couldn’t see through the actions of the priest at all...

It really didn’t seem like he was plotting anything...
