Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 482 The duke’s visit (23)

Moon ca back the very next day to everyone's surprise.

When she ca back, we once again gathered in the secret room to hear her report.

But we were surprised by the report that she made.

"They left?" I couldn't help asking in a shocked voice.

Moon just gave a simple nod in response to this.

But that just shocked us even more.

After all, no one would have expected them to leave just like this.

We had all been certain that the elves from the capital would do sothing after their comrades had been wiped out like this. However, they didn't do a single thing as they just left the elven village as if they didn't even know about their comrades being wiped out like this.

I looked at her with a confused look and asked, "Why?"

But all that I received in return was a confused look just like mine as Moon shook her head to show that she didn't know either.

After they had left, Moon had told the green haired elder about everything and she had sent people to watch over them as they left.

They found that the elves from the capital didn't create any fuss at all and just left their forest. Then after following them for a bit, it seed like they were heading back to the capital without doing anything.

Even now, the green haired elder was still receiving reports from the scouts that she sent after them that they were leaving this kingdom.

This didn't seem like sothing that those arrogant elves would have done.

After her answer, a silence fell over the room.

None of us knew what was happening, so it wasn't as if we would be able to force out an answer even if we wanted to.

I thought about asking Shaka to move Shadow Garden forces for this matter, but then I thought better of it.

The mont that the Shadow Garden was involved, this would no longer be a matter between us and those elves, but a matter between a human kingdom and the elven kingdom.

If that were to start a war, that would be the worst case scenario.

So I couldn't bring Shadow Garden in no matter what.

After a long period of silence, I finally said with a sigh, "Then let's drop this matter."

Everyone looked at with strange looks and there was a bit of hesitation in their eyes, but they agreed with in the end.

They knew that there was indeed nothing else that we would be able to do without causing too much of a ss, so we had no choice but to give up on this matter.

Once that was decided, the eting was over.

Moon still looked anxious, like she wanted to do sothing, but she didn't know what she could do.

However, what she seed like the most was regretful that elves like her had caused this ss. It made her feel that she was related to this in so indirect way…though it could be considered that since she was the one that was related to Apollo.

I wanted to say sothing to Moon, but Rose cut off and said, "Let handle it. You can handle the other problem."

I revealed a bitter smile when I heard this, but she was already gone.

The other problem that she ntioned was the duke…

After all, we had gotten him caught up in this dangerous situation, so we had to give an explanation to him.

So I went to go et with the duke.

When I arrived at their residence, I found that they were already packing up and I couldn't help panicking.

If the duke was leaving in a hurry like this…did that an that he was offended because we had gotten him caught up in all of this?

If the duke was offended and we lost his backing…it would be bad for us.

So I quickly asked one of the servants where the duke was and went to find him.

When I found the duke, I saw that he was in the parlour just having so tea with Veronica and the duchess.

The duke waved his hand at with a smile on his face, as if he was telling to co over.

When I ca into the room, the first thing that I did was bow my head and say, "I'm sorry about everything that happened."

There was a silence that hung in the air which made feel awkward.

So I slowly and tentatively looked up at the duke.

I found that he along with Veronica and the duchess were looking at with strange expressions on their faces.

After a while, the duke finally said, "What are you doing?"

I quickly said, "I got you involved in that dangerous matter, it was all my fault. I hope that you'll…"

Before I could apologize again, the duke suddenly gave a sigh and said, "Oh, it's that. It's not a problem at all."

I was caught off guard when I heard this before quickly saying, "But you're already packing up to leave. If I offended you in so way…"

Once again, the duke cut off by saying, "It's not that at all. We know that you didn't an for that to happen and you're the victim in this matter. So we're just getting out of your hair so you can properly deal with this situation. You don't have to worry, we're not offended at all."'

I couldn't help being taken aback again when I heard this.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the duke's expression. I could tell that he wasn't lying about this, it seed that he really did understand this and he wasn't angry about this.

But that didn't make any sense at all.

I was about to apologize again, but the duke saw this and cut off once more, "I know that things like this happen, it cos with working with any large group. The elves aren't represented by only the ones that we t in this town, so there must be others with differing opinions among the elves. It's inevitable that sothing like this happens."

This ti, it was my turn to look at the duke with a strange look.

Perhaps it was because I had gotten used to seeing how he acted around Veronica that I had the wrong perception of him. But the duke was one of the most important people in this kingdom, so it wasn't strange that he had this grand ntality.

Perhaps it was only soone like him that could understand sothing like this so easily.

Being too persistent was also annoying…so I just said, "Thank you for understanding."

The duke gave a nod with a smile on his face before saying, "Don't worry about it. I'm still expecting great things from our cooperation."

I also revealed a relieved smile when I heard this as I said, "Yes, I'm looking forward to working with you."

It seed that the duke wasn't planning on terminating our relationship which was the best thing for .

But the duke then added, "I'll also count on you to look after Veronica for ."

I couldn't help revealing a secret bitter smile when I heard this.

It seed like I still couldn't get rid of this willful young miss…
