Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 790 Connections

The reason why the fourth prince was so angry after reading this was…

These people didn't have a real reason for saving Duke Yuletide.

These people were nothing more than people who had wanted to seize this opportunity to gain more power and to gain favour with Duke Yuletide, which was why they thought that they could take this risk and try to save him.

In truth, they were nothing more than idiots who thought that they could take advantage of this situation.

They were idiots who had nothing but optimism…

So they were not people that should be taken seriously.

The fourth prince had thought that this was some kind of deeper plot that involved multiple organizations, but it turned out that this wasn't it at all. It turned out that this was just a bunch of idiots that were trying to take advantage of the situation.

They had no plans at all, they were just acting first and thinking later.

It even made the fourth prince a bit embarrassed since he had taken these people seriously.

Shaking his head, the fourth prince said with a sigh, "Perhaps I really was thinking too much. It seems that no matter how much you think about it, you really can't prevent everything from happening."

I gave an approving nod when I heard this.

The one problem with the fourth prince was that he took things too far sometimes.

He had a thing about wanting to control everything so that he could feel assured about everything that's happening. But sometimes, one needed to accept that they couldn't control every single little thing.

There was no predicting all the things that could happen in this world since there were many things that could happen.

Sometimes, it was just best to deal with these things as they came.

Sometimes, it was best to just roll with the punches.

After coming to this revelation, the fourth prince calmed down and said to me, "What do we do now?"

I knew exactly what he was talking about.

He wasn't referring to the trials anymore, but rather to another problem that had occurred.

The Tide Empire.

He wanted to find some preemptive way to deal with this matter rather than just wait for them to come looking for us. But I felt the same way as him since being passive in situations like this was usually the wrong way to go about it.

If we just remained passive, there was no telling what would happen when they finally came.

Being caught off guard like this would be the worst thing that could happen, especially since the other side was much stronger than us.

But this was something that involved one of the taboos of the other side, so it wasn't easy to do something about this.

Or else the fourth prince wouldn't be asking me this.

With the powers that the fourth prince had, if he knew what to do, he wouldn't have wasted any time thinking about this and would have already made some moves. It was only because he didn't have any ideas that he was like this.

I didn't say anything at first since there was a part of me that was hesitating over this matter.

There was a part of me that didn't want to actually do anything since this would mean taking an unnecessary risk…

But I knew that it would be impossible to avoid this in the end, so I took a deep breath before saying, "There might be something that we can do."

The fourth prince was surprised since he didn't expect this, but there was also a part of him that seemed like he did expect this. After all, there was a reason why he was asking me this in the first place.

There was a reason why he kept turning to me when it came to matters like this.

It was because I had always been able to give him some kind of surprise.

Just like in the war and just like with the wyverns.

He never expected anything, but I always managed to find a way to surprise him.

So he was hoping that I could surprise him once more.

The fourth prince immediately revealed a serious look as he said, "What is it?"

He didn't waste any words at all, he just wanted to know as soon as possible.

It was just too bad that I was still hesitating.

After a long silence, I said with a sigh, "I might have some connections that we can investigate."

To call them connections was a bit too much since I had never actually contacted those people before. Even if I were to tell them my name, it wasn't as if they would know who I was.

But there was a reason why I could rely on these places.

That was because of my knowledge from the game.

The places that I was thinking about reaching out to were places to obtain information in the game. These were places where one could obtain information as long as they had the money for it, so it wasn't as if they needed to know who I was.

As long as we had enough money, then we would be able to find the information that we were looking for.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes to look at me, as if there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

But in the end, he just gave a simple nod and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."

I shook my head and said, "Actually, it's better if you handle it."

The fourth prince was surprised to hear this, but he still gave a nod in the end.

While he didn't know what I meant by this, this was still enough to show that he had faith in me that he was willing to listen to what I said.

There was a part of me that wondered if this really was the right thing to do since there was no doubt that it would be harder to use these connections in the future if I were to use them now.

At the same time, using these connections might draw the attention of certain people…
