Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 810 Uncertain future

Once I found out, I wanted to start planning for the future.

But that was when I found out how amazing mothers were.

The two of them already had plans.

Well, I had already heard Rose's plans, so I knew what kind of things that she was planning for not just my children, but also the children of the rest of my wives.

It turned out that Cecilia also had plans for her kids.

"They will be a knight that will protect their brothers and sisters in my place."

It seemed that she was determined to teach her child the ways of being a knight regardless of whether they had the aptitude for it or not.

But I couldn't just force my child into being a knight for a reason like that.

At the very least, I had to stand up for them and their right to choose for themselves.

So I said, "You can't force a child to become what they don't want to become. I won't allow that to happen."

Both Cecilia and Rose were surprised to hear this before knitting their brows to look at me.

I looked at them with a calm look and said, "Things like inheriting titles and such, there is no other choice in that matter. However, things like becoming a knight and such, I will not force my child to do things like that."

Cecilia and Rose both looked confused when they heard this, but they didn't say anything as they waited for me to explain.

They knew that I must have some kind of explanation for saying something like this.

I did, so I said, "Things like becoming a knight and such cannot be forced. There is no controlling whether a child has the aptitude for it or not, so we can't force them to become one just because we want them to become one. If there's something else that they are interested in and have an aptitude for, we should support them in doing that."

Both of them revealed complicated looks after hearing this.

There was a part of them that disagreed with this, but there was also a part of them that agreed with this.

I appealed to the part of them that agreed with this.

This was the part of them that sympathized with being forced to do what they didn't want to do.

After all, this had happened to them when they had been sent off to the baron's territory.

So they could understand what I was saying.

In the end, Cecilia gave a nod as if she agreed, but then she said, "But there's no telling what kind of aptitude they will have, right? If they have the aptitude and the drive, then there's no problem with it, right?"

I gave a nod in response before saying, "All I'm saying is that I don't want to force our children down a path that they might not want to take. I hope that you can respect that."

Cecilia and Rose both nodded in agreement to this.

It seemed that this was the one thing that they could at least agree to.

That was more than enough for me.

...

Meeting Cecilia's parents went much smoother than meeting Rose's parents.

Both of Cecilia's parents were commoners who had made their own way in the world.

Cecilia's father worked as one of Count Amboise's knights, so they were certainly better off than most people were.

That was why she had seven brothers and three sisters.

All of them were excited about the fact that she was pregnant and all of them were excited to meet me.

Though a few of her sisters were a bit too excited…

However, Cecilia shut that down in the end.

The look that she gave me was as if she was saying, "Don't you dare touch my sisters."

Even if I wanted to, I knew better than to do something like that.

It would always lead to trouble to do something like this, even in a world based on a h-game.

After meeting everyone, it was finally time for us to head back to my territory.

As we left, both parents came to see us off.

There were only one pair of parents who remained on the walls of the town as we flew off on the back of our wyverns.

Count Amboise looked at his wife and said, "You're wondering why I did all of that?"

Lily looked at him with a calm look before shaking her head and saying, "I know why you did all of that, I just want to hear what else you know. The way that you acted was different from normal."

Count Amboise gave a sigh before saying, "There are too many uncertain things in the future that I had no choice but to act that way."

Looking in the direction of the wyverns that had disappeared, he said, "Did you know that the fourth prince is close to him? It's to the point where they seem too close, even if they are in laws."

Lily raised a brow when she heard this before asking, "Are they like that?"

Count Amboise shook his head before saying, "No, it's more like he's the fourth prince's advisor."

Looking around, he came in closer and said, "The Yuletide Family, they were taken down by him and the fourth prince working together."

"Huh?" Lily revealed a shocked look when she heard this before asking with a serious look, "How do you know this?"

Count Amboise gave a sigh before saying, "Just know that I have my own source of information and that I know this is true. So he is not someone that I can look down on."

With another sigh, he said, "For now, it's a good thing that he's with our daughter. But in the future…if anything happens, we'll have to be careful. That's why for now, I went along with him."

Lily had a complicated look on her face when she heard this.

Seeing this, the count said, "For now, just forget about our son. He doesn't exist anymore."

Lily had the same complicated look on her face, but she still gave a nod.

Her expression relaxed a bit before she said, "At least we still have our grandson."

The count nodded, but also shook his head before saying, "That is if we even get time with him."

Lily had a sad look before giving a sigh, but she didn't say anything in response.

Their backs looked a bit lonely as they realized the errors of their ways, but it was already too late to undo what had happened…
