Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 667 Can you repeat that again? (2)

Angela and I both looked at the king as if we couldn't understand what he had just said.

After all, neither of us had expected him to say this.

After a long moment of silence, Angela slowly asked, "Royal father, could you please repeat that again? I don't think that I heard you clearly."

The king just revealed a smile as he calmly repeated, "We need to discuss how to proceed with your engagement. After all, an engagement is an engagement, there is still a wedding that follows."

Angela's eyes lit up when she heard this before she excitedly said, "You agree to this wedding?"

The king said with the same smile, "Why would I not agree to it? I was the one that set the engagement in the first place, so why would I go back on my own words? Do you really think so little of your own father?"

Angela quickly shook her head when she heard this, but then she couldn't help saying, "It's not that I think little of you, royal father…It's just that with the war over, it doesn't seem like this engagement would really benefit you or the kingdom…"

Her voice trailed off in the end, but it was clear what she was trying to say.

However, the king didn't seem offended at all as he still had a smile on his face.

He just looked right at Angela and said, "Silly daughter, what is more important to me than your happiness?"

There was a trace of being touched that appeared in Angela's eyes, but she said, "Is that so?"

There was a clear tone of doubt that was in her voice.

The king held his heart this time and leaned forward as he said, "To be mistrusted by my own daughter like this, it seems like my daughter doesn't have much respect for me."

Angela didn't really seem to care about what the king said as she just looked at him with narrowed eyes. After staring at him like this for a bit, she said, "Stop playing around and just tell me."

The king sat back up again and looked at Angela with a serious look as he said, "My darling, your happiness really is the most important thing to me. I trust your eyes for men since you're my daughter, there's really no need to doubt your father like this."

Angela's expression slowly changed before she said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry."

The king revealed a faint smile as he stood up and came over to pat her on the head as he said, "Your happiness really is the most important thing to me."

The fourth prince on the side added, "Though it does help if the one that you chose controls over a thousand wyverns."

Both the king and Angela glared at the fourth prince when he said this.

He just looked back at them with a teasing smile, as if he wasn't afraid of what would happen.

It seemed that even though they were from the royal family, the relationship between them was quite good that they were able to joke with each other like this.

But thinking about it…the first prince, the second prince, and the rest were all part of the royal family as well, but they didn't get along the same. Just what was different about those other princes that they didn't grow up the same way as the fourth prince?

I really had no idea what the dynamic of the royal family was.

After they finished with their moment, both of them sat down where they had been sitting before.

The king was the one that spoke first as he said, "Since it is your wedding, we naturally have to make it as big as possible."

Angela nodded in agreement at first, but then she couldn't help saying, "Is it really necessary to make it big? Is it possible to just hold a small ceremony with some close acquaintances?"

The way that she said this made it clear that she didn't want to make this big.

The look on her face also made it clear that she didn't want to turn this into a show.

This was her wedding after all, it wasn't a show just for everyone to enjoy.

She knew that she had her duty to the kingdom as the princess, but she really didn't want to be turned into a show.

But this time, the king shook his head and said, "We have to do it like this, that is our duty to the people as the royal family."

Angela looked disappointed, but she nodded in agreement in the end.

She knew that this was one of the few things that couldn't be changed and she had already accepted it since she was a child, so she could only accept it now.

Though her disappointment wasn't just from this.

It was also because the king had said earlier that her happiness was the most important thing to him, only he was going against that now by going against her wishes.

The king continued by saying, "After the wedding, we'll announce that I will be stepping down from the throne and your new husband will be taking over."

There was only silence that followed after he said this.

Both Angela and I couldn't help revealing strange looks that seemed like we hadn't processed everything that he had said just yet.

But that couldn't be blamed on us since the latter half of his words really were just too shocking for us to process.

We looked at each other and we could see that neither of us had an inkling of an idea of what the king just said. So we just looked at each other in a daze for a while.

That was until Angela suddenly turned back and asked the king, "Royal father, what did you just say? Could you repeat that again?"

The king gave a nod before saying, "I'll be stepping down from the throne and giving it to your husband."

Silence, pure silence.
