Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 757 Paraded

Chapter 757 Paraded

After the punishment was decided, the fourth prince didn’t waste any time.

With a snap of his fingers, there were several more royal guards that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The nobles were naturally surprised by the appearance of these royal guards, but they weren’t afraid of them. Rather, the ones that had spoken up the most against me were all looking at me with looks of schadenfreude on their faces.

The royal guards quickly surrounded me and made sure that I wasn’t able to do anything.

Just like this, I was led out of the throne room and made to walk out of the castle where there was a carriage that was waiting for me.

Seeing this, I had a grim look on my face.

This wasn’t the normal kind of carriage that a noble would take, but rather this was a carriage that was clearly for transporting something. The carriage was nothing more than a cart that even had bars all around it that seemed like it was keeping something in.

This was clearly a cart for transporting prisoners.

The royal guards used their spears to ‘guide’ me into the prisoner cart.

Though it was more like they were forcing me into the cart rather than guiding me.

Once I was in, the fourth prince personally sat down in the driver’s seat of this cart and grabbed the reins to the horses. With a flick of his wrist, the cart started moving forward.

The nobles that had followed after us were shocked to see this, but the ones that didn’t like me had even stronger looks of schadenfreude on their faces. It was as if they wished that they could be driving the cart themselves with the expression that was on their faces.

But the fourth prince didn’t let anyone approach as he had the royal guards surround the cart.

It was a parade.

They were parading me down the streets of the capital to show everyone that I had been captured.

The citizens that were walking through the streets were confused by what was happening at first, but it soon became clear to them what was happening. However, the moment that they saw that it was me who was in the carriage, there were some strange looks that were shot in my direction.

It wasn’t strange in the way that they didn’t like me and wanted to throw stuff at me.

It was strange in the way that they all seemed worried about me.

There were many people that turned up on the path that the cart traveled to the gate of the capital.

These people all had worried looks as they looked in my direction.

It even seemed like there were some of them that wanted to charge forward to help me if it wasn’t for the fact that the royal guards were here.

But as more and more people showed up, it seemed like more and more of them were prepared to come forward to save me.

The nobles that had followed us from the castle to enjoy my trip through the capital saw this as well, so they immediately sent people forward to stop those people.

I was very confused why the people of the capital looked at me this way until I heard a few things from the crowd.

“Isn’t that Duke Zwein? The hero of our kingdom?”

“Right, he’s the one that saved us from the invasion of the other four kingdoms. He’s a hero that saved the citizens of this kingdom, how could they treat him like this?”

“Don’t you see who it is that’s driving the cart? It’s the fourth prince. It has to be a battle of power between the royal family and the duke…”

“But wasn’t the duke supposed to marry the princess? Why would they suddenly fall apart like this?”

“What else could it be? The royal family must fear the power that the duke holds, so they don’t want to see him rise any further. They must have found a way to take the power of the wyverns from him and must be suppressing him now…that’s most likely why the wyverns were roaring earlier.”

“Shh…do you not want to keep your heads anymore? Do you know what talking about this kind of stuff will bring?”

“But your wife and children were also saved by the duke…”

The nobles immediately cracked down on the ones that said the things near the end.

It seemed like they were threatened by these people and were afraid that the fourth prince would react to these words, but the fourth prince was solely focused on driving the cart. It didn’t seem like the fourth prince was reacting at all to what was happening around him.

However, I couldn’t help knitting my brows a bit because of this.

Because of the actions of the nobles, there were small clashes that started breaking out between the guards and the commoners.

The commotion that this caused continued to increase the noise around us until it completely drowned out everything.Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m

Unless someone was right up beside us, they wouldn’t have heard what we said…

So I took this chance to ask the fourth prince, “Was all of this really necessary?”

The fourth prince’s expression didn’t change at all as he still had that serious look on his face. But even with that serious look, he said in a playful voice, “If we don’t put on a show, they won’t believe that it’s real. This is necessary for what is about to happen. If we don’t do this, they’ll never actually believe that this is real.”

I still slightly knitted my brows as I said, “But the people…”

The fourth prince’s voice became a bit darker as he said, “Don’t worry, I’m noting down everything. They will receive their just desserts when the time comes, they won’t be able to get out of it.”

I just gave a sigh before sitting back in the cage and watching all of this happen.

I would enjoy it when these nobles received the punishment that they deserved.
