Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 769 A ruse all along

When the dark clothed figures saw me stand up and move towards the fourth prince, they had no choice but to come out as well and follow me.

Though they walked in a calm manner to blend into the chaos, their hands were on their weapons.

They didn't let their guards down for even a single second as they were prepared to fight their way out if things went south. Though it was clear that the first person that they were prepared to kill if things went wrong was me.

We just casually walked forward towards the fourth prince.

It didn't seem like anyone noticed what we were doing as we approached the fourth prince.

The guards around us were all focused on the bear that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Stop it!"

"Protect his highness!"

"Don't let it get close to his highness!"

These were the things that were said by these guards as they were focused on the bear.

It seemed like everything was going according to plan until…we suddenly reached the fourth prince.

The dark clothed thugs didn't go with me as I approached the fourth prince since they were afraid of alerting the fourth prince. So instead, they were hiding nearby just in case anything happened so they could act at any moment.

I walked right over to the fourth prince's horse without anyone doing a single thing.

Even though there were still elite guards that were standing near the fourth prince, they didn't seem to stop me.

But then all of a sudden, the fourth prince turned to look in my direction.

With the way that he was looking me right in the eyes, it was clear that he was looking at me.

When the dark clothed thugs saw this, they all trembled with fear. Even a fool would be able to tell that they had been discovered and the plan had failed.

So there were some of them that raised their daggers, as if they were preparing to throw them.

Since they had failed, they could only do the other thing that they had been ordered to do.

They would clean up all remaining evidence and take care of Duke Zwein.

However, they never got a chance to do that.

As the fourth prince looked at me, I didn't say anything as I calmly moved forward towards the fourth prince on his horse. Even though the fourth prince noticed me, he didn't say a thing and the guards didn't do anything.

When I was right by the fourth prince's horse, the fourth prince suddenly reached his hand down to me and said with a smile, "Brother, it's been hard on you."

I gave a nod before saying, "You'll have to make it up to me once this is over."

With one quick pull, the fourth prince brought me up to his horse and I sat there behind him.

All of the dark clothed thugs were shocked when they saw this as their brains just couldn't process what had happened. Not a single one of them could understand what they were seeing.

Their eyes were seeing this, but they just couldn't understand what was happening.

After standing there in a daze for a bit, a few of them still reacted in the end and raised the daggers in their hands. They had no idea what was happening, but they knew that they wouldn't be able to go back if they didn't do something about this.

So they were planning on taking down Duke Zwein before anything else just to cover their bases.

It was too bad that the guards that were near where they were hiding suddenly turned to look at them.

With the way that they were looking at them, it was as if they had already known where they were in the first place. The only reason that they didn't do anything was because they wanted them to have a false sense of safety.

Before they could throw their daggers, they were cut down by the elite guards of the fourth prince.

These were elite guards of the fourth prince and they were thugs that were employed by the Snake Syndicate, there was no comparison between the two.

"It's over, finish them off." The fourth prince suddenly said after pulling me onto his horse.

The moment that he said this, all of the fourth prince's elite guards suddenly turned around to face Duke Yuletide's men. At the same time, there were roars that came from above them as large shadows were cast on the ground.

There were a bunch of wyverns that suddenly appeared in the air.

Duke Yuletide's men couldn't do anything as they were completely outmatched by the elite guards of the fourth prince.

It wasn't that they hadn't been trained enough, it was that they were completely outclassed when it came to gear.

Even if Duke Yuletide didn't spare any expense, it wasn't as if they were able to get the best gear. After all, the best gear was something that money couldn't buy. It was something that could only be obtained when one knew people.

That was the case with the fourth prince.

Or rather, it was the case with me.

With the dwarves in my town, we had been supplying the fourth prince with weapons and armour forged by them. The elite guards were wearing these rune enhanced weapons and armour, so there was no way that they would lose.

At the same time, the wyverns in the sky shot their flames down on the formation of Duke Yuletide's men.

So in the end, they couldn't do a thing as they were completely overwhelmed.

It was at this moment that Duke Yuletide suddenly came back from the forest.

With the way that he was panting, it was as if he had suddenly run back after noticing what had happened.

When he came out, he immediately asked the fourth prince, "Your highness, what is going on here? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"
