Chereads / Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure / Chapter 23 - Next steps

Chapter 23 - Next steps

When we woke up the next morning, all of us had sore bodies from last night.

We had started in the morning and had gone all the way to night, so of course our bodies would be sore after all that.

At the same time, all three of us were also hungry since none of us had anything to eat during this time.

It was just sex and sleep during this time.

So Madame Rose called the maids and had them bring a full spread.

As we sat in the room eating, we started discussing what to do next.

Madame Rose was the one who took the lead in this since she was the one that had the most information.

She said, "We need to find some conclusive proof that links my husband to the demon order or else we won't be able to do anything. The letter and the dagger are too circumstantial and he can easily argue against them."

Cecilia nodded in agreement to this before saying, "But what kind of conclusive proof can you get? The Lord Baron will surely make sure that everything is taken care of and he won't leave any evidence for you to find. How are you planning on getting this evidence?"

Madame Rose knitted her brows when she heard this.

She didn't need Cecilia to say this since she already knew that there was this problem.

She had only recently learned about her husband's allegiance to the demon order, so naturally she didn't know enough to plan her next move. She had been looking into this during this time, but she still hadn't gotten enough information yet.

So she was actually hoping that Cecilia would have something for her.

Cecilia could also see this, so she knitted her brows to think for a bit. Then she looked like she had suddenly thought of something as she said, "There's this meeting that my husband said that the Lord Baron is bringing him to, perhaps that's where they'll be meeting?"

"Meeting?" Madame Rose repeated before saying, "What meeting? Tell me more."

Cecilia gave a nod in response to this before telling her what she had heard from her husband.

According to Cecilia's husband, there was a meeting that was being held by the Lord Baron that invited all of the important people on his land, as well as some other nobles. So he had no choice but to attend this meeting.

The only thing that he didn't tell her was where this meeting was.

Madame Rose deeply knitted her brows when she heard this as if she was deep in thought.

Seeing this, neither of us said a thing as we waited for her to gather her thoughts.

Finally, she said, "We need to send someone to this meeting."

Cecilia nodded in agreement to this, but she also asked, "How? It's not like we know anyone that can go, right?"

Madame Rose turned her eyes to look at me before saying, "We have one right here."

Cecilia also looked at me and asked in a confused voice, "Him? How?"

I was of course completely stunned by this suggestion as I had no idea how they expected me to infiltrate a place like this.

Madame Rose said with a nod, "In places like this, one would be expected to hide their appearance. We just need to find someone and have him take their place at the meeting."

Cecilia knitted her brows as she asked, "Where are you going to find someone who will let him take their place? I don't think that anyone is willing to go against the Lord Baron like that…"

Madame Rose understood Cecilia's worries, but she shook her head and said, "You don't need to worry, I have someone that I can use."

Cecilia knitted her brows even more when she heard this, but she gave a sigh in the end and said, "Don't try to force everything on yourself, I will help you with anything that you need."

Madame Rose nodded and revealed a grateful look as she said, "Cece, I know that I can always count on you."

Cecilia's face couldn't help revealing a blush when she was praised by Madame Rose like this.

That grateful look quickly disappeared from Madame Rose's face and she turned to look at me. She could see the disturbed look on my face and she could guess what I was thinking, so she said to me, "You said that you would be mine, right?"

I couldn't help trembling when I heard this.

I knew that there was no way out of this. If I were to say anything other than yes at a time like this, there was no doubt that she would get rid of me.

But at the same time, I couldn't help seeing a different kind of emotion in her eyes as she said.

It was almost as if there was a kind of dependence.

But that also didn't make sense since we didn't know each other that long…

So just where did this feeling of dependence come from?

I couldn't help feeling a chill as I thought about the different possibilities.

I had thought that I would be able to escape using the route that the game prepared for you if this didn't work out, but now it seemed like that would be a bad idea. It seemed like if I were to abandon her, she would chase me down to the ends of the world…

This thought really was scary, so I did my best to throw it out of my mind.

After taking a deep breath, I gave a nod in response to this without saying anything else.

If I were to say anything, it was certain that I would be exposed…

So it was better not to say anything at this point.

Luckily, that was enough for Madame Rose, so she came over to me with a smile on her face and she said in a very tempting voice as she rubbed my head, "Good boy."
