Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 754 A talk about the fourth prince

The discussion about the plan lasted for a while and when it was over, the sun had already set.

Since the sun had set, it meant that it was time for dinner.

So all four of us headed to the royal dining room.

This was one of the parts that I enjoyed about staying in the castle.

The royal castle was the home of the royal family, which meant that it was a place where the best resources of the nation were gathered. That meant that the best cooks were gathered here to make meals for the king and his guests.

The dishes that were brought out always made me feel like my tongue was melting when I bit into them.

No matter what, I was already determined to keep these cooks and give them even more funding when I took over as king.

This was something that I had decided the first time I had their food.

As for the mood during dinner, it wasn't the mood that one would think would be present at a dinner for royals. Instead of being on edge and guarded against each other, we were just casually talking with each other like it was a normal family meal.

That was how relaxed we were with each other.

Though if any of the other princes had survived...it would have been different.

During this dinner, there was an interesting topic that was brought up.

It was brought up by Angela who had been silently eating her food the entire time.

Before she brought up the topic, she turned to look at the fourth prince with a sly look.

The fourth prince couldn't help trembling as he felt that something was wrong, but he wasn't able to stop her from saying what she said.

Angela suddenly turned to the king and said, "Royal father, now that my wedding has been decided, what about my little brother's wedding? It seems like his partner still hasn't been decided on yet."

The king was surprised to hear this, but he gave a nod in response before turning to look at the fourth prince with a serious look and asking in a worried voice, "That's right, old fourth. What are you planning to do about that? I've already asked you about this many times, but you've always avoided giving me an answer. If you don't give me an answer today, don't think about leaving."

An awkward and bitter smile appeared on the fourth prince's face when he heard this.

He slowly turned to me with a look like he was asking me for help, but I just looked at him with a smile on my face.

That smile made it clear that I wasn't planning on helping him.

Rather, the smile made it clear that I was on the opposite side.

It was my petty way of getting a bit of revenge on the fourth prince for everything that he had already put me through.

Though it would be a lie to say that I wasn't interested in whether the fourth prince did have someone in his heart.

That was because I knew that there was someone that had the fourth prince in her heart.

After a long silence, the fourth prince said, "I'll be too busy with work for stuff like that. There's still so many things that we have to do, so it'll be hard for me to think about that."

The king shook his head as he said, "No, no, a family is something important. It's something that motivates you to work even harder and it's something that can provide comfort when you're feeling down. You should build your family as soon as possible."

The fourth prince had another awkward look appear on his face when he heard this.

Angela didn't back down either as she said, "Your older sister is about to get married and you're still alone, don't you think that this is embarrassing?"

There was an awkward silence that filled the air as the fourth prince didn't say anything in response to this.

With the look that was on his face, it really seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but here.

So I took a deep breath and said, "Well, what about people that you already know? I'm sure that there are those that are interested in a handsome young man like you."

The king raised a brow before turning to look at me to ask, "Who? Are you saying that there's people that old fourth is close to?"

Angela glared at me before pouting her lips to say, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

An awkward smile appeared on my face before I opened my mouth to say something.

But before I could, the fourth prince suddenly stood up and said, "This is my business, please don't interfere in it."

All three of us were surprised by the fourth prince's sudden outburst.

We looked at him with strange looks, but it seemed like he wasn't willing to say anything else on this matter.

However, I could see that there was a different look in the fourth prince's eyes when he said this. It was almost as if he had already come to a decision on what he would do.

It was almost as if…he already knew who he wanted to be with.

So a smile crept onto my face as I said, "You should know that you shouldn't keep them waiting for too long. It's not fair for them to keep waiting for that long."

The fourth prince was taken aback to hear this.

But after his expression changed a few times, he just gave a simple nod.

With that, I was satisfied since I had received my answer, but Angela was still confused.

Since she couldn't get anything out of the fourth prince, she turned to me who seemed to know the answer.

But before she could ask anything, the king suddenly said, "Alright, that's enough. You should know when to back down."

Angela was surprised once again, but she gave a nod in the end.

It seemed like even the king knew about the bond between men and that some things shouldn't be said out loud.
