Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 602 Gathering evidence

After that matter was settled, we were shown to rooms in the duke's manor since it would take so ti for the duke to prepare everything.

When we were shown to our rooms, the first thing that happened was…

Everyone exploded.

That was to be expected since they had been holding back the entire ti.

Even now, it was very likely that we were being watched by the duke's people, so we should have been holding back and watching what we said. However, it was hard to hold back with these soldiers who wore their emotions on their sleeves more.

General Killock was the one that led them as he smashed a chair once the servants had all left.

"That duke! I knew from the very beginning that we shouldn't trust him, but to think that he would insult us like this!"

The officers all agreed with him and it even seed like Cecilia agreed, though she held herself back as she stood beside .

After he finished venting, General Killock ca over to to say, "General, we must find so way to remove that duke and take back control of this city. It's clear that leaving this city in the hands of that man is…"

Before he could finish, I imdiately raised a hand to stop him before saying, "Are you speaking of treason right now?"

General Killock was surprised when he heard this before quickly saying, "General, it's that duke that has committed treason against the kingdom with the way that he has acted."

I just narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, "Do you have evidence of this?"

General Killock gritted his teeth as he said, "Isn't everything that he's done enough evidence of this? It's clear that this man does not care for the kingdom and only cares about himself."

Shaking my head, I gave a shrug and said with a sigh, "Then you have no evidence. What do you think will happen if you try to use force?"

General Killock gritted his teeth even more when he heard this before saying, "It is the honour of every soldier in the kingdom to die for the sake of the kingdom. If that is what happens, then I have no regrets."

I just shook my head and gave another sigh before saying, "You might want to die, but that doesn't an that I want to die here with all of you."

General Killock looked like he was about to say sothing else, but I cut him off by saying, "There are better ways of handling this. You need to stop looking at what's in front of us and start looking at what's behind the curtain."

General Killock revealed a surprised look, but I didn't care at all as I said, "How is it, did you find anything yet?"

As soon as I said this, there was a cloaked figure that appeared.

The officers were surprised by this cloaked figure and moved forward with their weapons raised. However, it was General Killock who raised his hand to stop them since he recognized this person.

It was one of the Shadows, one of the secret guards of the fourth prince.

Those that knew of the Shadows knew just how capable they were.

For the fourth prince to give one of the Shadows to Count Zwein…it was clear how close Count Zwein was to him and how much he trusted Count Zwein.

At the sa ti, it was clear how much the fourth prince valued Count Zwein.

After Shadow Five appeared, she bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to find anything."

I wasn't surprised when I heard this since if it was that easy to find, then the duke would have been exposed a long ti ago. Duke Yuletide and the Yuletide Family had been preparing for a long ti to betray the kingdom and the royal family, so of course their preparations wouldn't be that easy to discover.

After a long silence, Shadow Five said, "I did find so evidence of so minor offences. If we use those, we might be able to…"

Her voice trailed off, but it was clear what she was implying.

She wanted to use these things to blackmail Duke Yuletide into giving us more troops.

General Killock's eyes lit up and he looked at as if he was urging to do this, but I just ignored him.

I calmly said to Shadow Five, "Contact the fourth prince and tell him what we've found, as well as tell him what my suspicions are. I want to ask him to send a special team here to investigate this matter."

Shadow Five was clearly surprised even if her face couldn't be seen.

But in the end, she didn't disobey these orders.

The fourth prince had told her to follow all of Count Zwein's orders, so she had no other choice.

Though she knew that if it was Count Zwein who asked for this, the fourth prince would likely even send a group of Shadows to investigate this matter.

Each of the Shadows took a large amount of resources to train and each of them were precious, so they shouldn't be used that easily…

But there was no other choice.

I turned back to General Killock and said, "In the first place, I hadn't been planning on using the troops that the duke gave in the first place. I have my own plans."

General Killock looked like he wanted to say sothing, but then he rembered what happened the last ti that he had doubted this man in front of him.

So after a mont of silence, General Killock just gave a nod of agreent.

It was the sa for the officers who were in the room.

Seeing this, I gave a nod as well before saying, "For now, we'll go out and take care of the enemies. When we co back, we'll deal with this Duke Yuletide. I promise you that he will not get off lightly for this."
