Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 942: Bigger fish

The prime minister had no hesitation as he answered, "Why should we help them in the first place?"

The regent was silent, but the look on his face made it clear that he agreed with the prime minister.

It seemed that neither of them had any intentions of helping those neighbouring countries that were also suffering the same fate as us.

It seemed that they didn't care what happened to those countries.

I slightly knitted my brows hearing this, but I couldn't help saying, "What if they can't contain the problem and that problem spreads to our country?"

The prime minister just calmly said, "We have our wyverns, it won't be a problem."

I couldn't disagree with this since if this world was based on the H-game, there would be a certain level that the monsters would reach before they stopped growing. That was how the setting in the game was, but there were things that could change now that this game was the real world.

It was possible that these monsters would keep growing until they reached a level that would be hard to stop even with wyverns.

After all, I had never expected the dark energy to corrupt all those bosses like that...

If they could make the bosses that strong, there was no telling what else the crystals could do...

So it felt like it would be safer to take care of these monsters before that happened.

It was just that there was the problem that these monsters were in the territory of other kingdoms and it wasn't possible for us to go to those kingdoms.

If we were to go to those kingdoms, all that would happen is that a war would start.

They were different from the Midra Kingdom where we had already expanded our influence. They wouldn't take the approach of these wyverns that kindly and would most likely fight it out with us.

So in the end, it really seemed like there was nothing that we could do...

The prime minister suddenly said, "Regardless, we have bigger fish to fry."

The way that he said this was as if he could already guess what I was thinking, so he was saying this to distract me. However, I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I heard what he said.

After all, I was confused why he would say this.

After waiting for a bit, the prime minister said, "We've heard back from the Tide Empire's side."

My brows immediately jumped up in surprise before I turned to look at the regent who was also with us.

This was a matter that concerned our kingdom's future.

At the same time, the regent should be considered an outsider at this point.

Maybe he might enter the inner circle in the future depending on how he acted, but this certainly wasn't the time for it.

The regent could see the way that I looked at him and he tactfully stood up to leave, but the prime minister raised his hand to stop him. He looked at the regent and shook his head before looking back at me with a firm look.

I was certainly surprised to see the prime minister standing up for the regent like this, but since he did it with such conviction...

"I never thought that you would become this close." I said with a faint smile.

The prime minister also revealed a faint smile as he said, "Well, we have similar ideas, so it was quite easy to become friends. At the same time, we have our fair share of things that we have to deal with."

The two of them were both looking at me when they said this.

I didn't like the way that they were looking at me.

It was almost as if they were looking at me like I was some kind of troublemaker...

Well, they didn't keep looking at me like this for long as they went back to what we were talking about.

The prime minister said with a more serious look, "In the future, I'm looking forward to leaving more of my matters to him and letting him act as my assistant."

I was certainly surprised by the prime minister's appraisal of the regent.

Well, if he thought that he was trustworthy, then I would trust him.

He was my brother in law after all.

Once that was settled, the prime minister said, "It seems that our fears have been realized and that Viper really is related to the royal family of the Tide Empire."

The regent deeply knitted his brows when he heard this, but I was rather calm about this

news.

After all, didn't that just mean that our plan would be easier to put into action?

No, I could tell that something was off based on the way that the prime minister was acting.

It seemed that there was something else that was mixed into this news that was making him worry.

Seeing the way that I looked at him, he knew that I could already guess that there was more. With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, the prime minister said, "As you'd expect, there is more."

I wasn't surprised since I figured that there would be more for the prime minister to be acting this way. So I just gave a simple nod in response to this and waited to see what else he had to

say.

The prime minister didn't speak right away as if he was hesitating over something, but he eventually said, "There seems to be movement from the Tide Empire's royal family. It seems like there is something that is going on behind the scenes that no one knows about. They just know that it's big enough that the Tide Empire's royal family has stopped seeing others these

days."

I slightly knitted my brows hearing this and thought about it before saying, "Then you're saying that it's related to Ariel and the matter that she mentioned before?"

The prime minister slowly nodded to confirm this.

That made me knit my brows even more.
