Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 755 Finally punished

?Two days later, the nobles were all gathered in the throne room.

I was also brought there, but it was different from before where I was allowed to move freely.

I was accompanied by two royal guards who seemed to be stopping my every action. It was as if they wouldn't allow me to move a single inch other than where they were allowing me to stand.

I was brought forth in front of everyone like this

When I came into the throne room, I could see the way that the nobles were looking at me.

It was clear that they were happy to see that I was being escorted by the royal guards like this.

Once all of the nobles arrived and I was brought forth in front of the king, the king suddenly said, "I'm sure that you have an idea of why we have been gathered here."

The nobles nodded in agreement before turning to look at me.

The king also narrowed his eyes to look at me before saying, "Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

I looked up at the king and then said, "I did what I did because it was an emergency. Everything was done because I had no other choice."

The nobles knitted their brows when they heard this before looking at the king with a worried look. It was as if they were afraid that the king would actually be convinced by the words that I said.

However, the king gave a snort before saying, "You almost caused a war and you're saying that you had no other choice? It's clear that there were other things that could be done. However, it's also clear that you are showing no signs of remorse at all over your actions. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to show you any mercy."

The nobles were completely caught off guard when they heard this, but then they quickly revealed excited looks since this was what they had been waiting to hear the entire time.

They had been worried that the king would let Duke Zwein go since he was his future son in law and because of the power that he controlled, but it seemed like he wasn't planning to.

In that case, it meant that they would be able to…

When I heard this, I knitted my brows as I said, "With the things that I've done for this kingdom, you are seriously planning on punishing me?"

The king gave a snort before saying, "All men in this kingdom are bound by the laws, there's no one that is above the laws."

I laughed at him before saying, "And you are the man who creates all the laws. So you're saying that you're even restrained by your own laws?"

The king didn't say anything in response to this.

The nobles all had worried looks when they heard this.

Though this was the situation that they wanted to see, the way that it was developing was not a good sign for them. After all, the way that they had wanted to see this go was the king punishing Duke Zwein and reducing his power a bit.

But with the way that the two of them were clashing, it almost seemed like it was developing into something that they were afraid of.

It seemed like Duke Zwein might even consider…

After a silent showdown between the two of them, the king said, "Your punishment will be that you will be brought to the punishment mine on the border and made to do hard labour for a month."

Everyone took a cold breath when they heard this.

After all, not a single one of the nobles had expected the king to give this kind of punishment.

This was a strict punishment that was given to serious offenders, not someone who would soon become their son in law.

But many nobles quickly revealed sly looks after hearing this.

This might be a sign that the king was going back on his decision to marry the princess to Duke Zwein…

This might be a sign that Duke Zwein was losing influence with the king and was being deposed from his position.

This was just what the nobles wanted to see since Duke Zwein was in a very terrifying position for them.

However, there was still a matter that was concerning for them.

It was about a certain thing that Duke Zwein controlled…

As if prompted by them, I suddenly said, "What if I don't want to? What can you do about that?"

All of the nobles felt a chill run down their spines the moment that they heard this.

This was what they were afraid of…

Before any of them could say a thing to me, the king slammed his fist down on the armrest of his throne and said, "How dare you say such things to me! Do you even know who you're in the presence of!"

The nobles once again trembled when they heard this.

But I gave them something to be more terrified of, "Do you think that you'll be able to control the wyverns without me? The moment that you try to do anything to me, who knows what will happen?"

Yes, the nobles were worried since I was the one that controlled all of the wyverns.

If I did something to them, then with how many wyverns were in the kingdom…it would be a complete disaster.

The nobles wanted to convince the king to calm down after hearing this, but the king suddenly raised his head to laugh into the sky. After laughing for a bit to the confusion of the nobles, the king said, "Is that supposed to be a threat?"

Before I could say anything, the king gave a snap and the fourth prince walked in.

The moment that I saw what was in the hands of the fourth prince, I said in a shocked voice, "Where did you get that?!"
