Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 657 Visiting in-laws (1)

Another week passed before we were able to settle the matter of the wyverns for these nobles.

Most of the time was actually spent just bringing the ones that would become wyvern riders here and preparing them for the training. The actual training would be carried out in my town and they would only be allowed to leave when they were proper wyvern riders.

But this was the part that I didn't need to participate in.

The only part that I needed to participate in was the part where they had to choose their wyverns.

I had to be there with Joan and the wyvern shaman to let them choose.

Once they finished choosing, I was free to do whatever I wanted.

That meant that I was free to leave the town.

There was a place that I had been meaning to go to, but I never had a chance to go with the situation of the war.

It was a place that I should go because of what had happened before the war.

Because of my engagement with Veronica, I was visiting Bright Water City to meet with the duke and the duchess. It was a visit to my in-laws now that I had gotten engaged with Veronica.

But of course, it wasn't just to visit my in-laws that I was heading to Bright Water City.

There was something that I also had to discuss with the duke, something that would be very important in the future.

Still, I couldn't help feeling nervous as we headed to Bright Water City.

Since coming to this world, this was my first time meeting in-laws. Even before coming to this world, I had never met any in-laws because I had never gotten married before. The only girlfriend that I had…well it didn't turn out well in the end…

So it wasn't as if I had experience with meeting in-laws.

I had never met Rose's parents since she had never taken me to see them and Cecilia's parents were in the same territory as Rose's parents, so I couldn't see them and not Rose's parents.

Oh, right, I did meet Haley's father when I saved them, but that really couldn't be considered meeting an in-law…

So this was my first time if I thought about it properly.

Veronica could see that I was panicking because of this, so she said, "It's fine, you've already met my parents. It isn't as if they will start treating you any different now that we're engaged."

I revealed a faint bitter smile when I heard this, but the look on my face made it clear that I was still worried.

After all, there was no telling what would happen…

Would her father go, "You must defeat me for my daughter's hand in marriage."?

Would her mother test me on different things to see if I was good enough?

It really was nerve wracking thinking about all of this.

But it wasn't as bad as it was for the people of Bright Water City when they saw the wyverns approach.

It was a total of ten wyverns that we brought with us since I had brought some things as gifts for her parents. However, in the eyes of the people of Bright Water City, all they saw were attackers of Bright Water City.

They didn't see us as visitors, they saw us as wyverns that were about to destroy the city.

I could even see the guards that were lining the walls, looking like they were prepared to fight to the death.

When I saw all of this, I couldn't help asking Veronica, "Did you send the letter like I told you to?"

Veronica didn't answer as she slowly turned away, as if she was scared to look at me.

As soon as I saw her acting this way, I got my answer.

It was no wonder they were acting this way.

If they had no idea that we were coming, it wasn't strange that they would think that we were a group of invading wyverns that were here to attack the city. They would think that we were here to destroy their homes, so of course they would go all out against us.

I immediately had our group stop descending and turn around.

With the situation being like this, it wasn't as if we could just land without any issues, so we had to do something before entering the city.

So I had our group land in a clearing near Bright Water City.

After glaring at Veronica for a bit who just pretended like she didn't see anything, I had Shadow Five deliver something to me.

Only when Shadow Five came back with a response did I have everyone head back to the city.

This time, there wasn't the same reaction as before.

Though there were still guards that were on the walls, they didn't look like they were about to attack us. Instead, they just carefully watched as if they were still wary of us.

We were allowed to land outside of the city and identify ourselves.

But the main thing was that the duke and the duchess were on the walls with the guards.

The duke was the one that I had sent Shadow Five to contact to tell him about this situation.

I knew that only with the duke's help would we be able to bring the wyverns into the city to achieve our goal.

When we came up to the gate, Veronica waved as she saw her parents, but both of them had bitter smiles on their faces.

Though I could see that these bitter smiles weren't just directed at her, they were also directed at me.

It seemed that I had somehow been caught up in this because of Veronica and had been deemed an irresponsible person with her since I didn't send a letter ahead of time.

I could only regret my decision of leaving this to Veronica.

I had thought that she would be happy to talk to her parents, but it seemed that she didn't think about them at all.

In the end, it was my mistake…
