Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 815 All eyes on you

Regardless of how the people felt, it was more important that everything went smoothly.

With the fourth prince running everything, it went more than just smoothly.

There wasn't a single mistake that happened.

Though that would be the case with how many royal guards had been summoned to the premises.

With how tightly it was guarded, one might think there was some kind of national secret being guarded in this place. This was definitely not a place that anyone could enter and leave freely.

But that was how important the wedding was.

The stars of the wedding were nowhere to be seen even though there were guests arriving.

The guests showed up in their luxurious carriages and made sure that the reporters would be able to see them. The reporters were writing down as much as they could about each of the people who were invited.

They did all of this without anyone telling them to, even though the stars of the wedding weren't there yet.

That was just how this society was.

I was with the king as we watched over this from the top of the church.

This was a private room inside of the church that we were using as a waiting room/planning room. So it wasn't just me and the king that were here, there were many others who were running around.

It was only the king and me who were free to watch over this.

Even the fourth prince seemed busy with all the things that he was handling.

The king and I just watched all of this in silence.

Neither of us had any emotions on our faces, so it was hard to tell what we were thinking.

However, both of us knew exactly what the other person was thinking as we looked down at the people beneath.

There wasn't a need to say anything.

That silence just remained in the air until the king finally turned to me to say, "Today is the day that it all happens. Are you prepared for what is about to happen?"

I was surprised to hear this since I never thought that he would be asking me this now.

It was mainly the way that he said this that had surprised me.

The way that he said it almost made it sound like he was giving me the option to back out if I really wanted to. It was as if he was giving me one last chance to end this all, as long as I said that I didn't want to do this.

From the very beginning, he had acted as if I had no choice in this matter.

But now, it sounded like he was actually giving me a choice…

I didn't believe that he would actually give me a choice, so it felt like there was something more happening here. It felt like there was some kind of trap that was being laid out for me…

Still, it wasn't as if I was planning on backing out now that I've come all this way.

I knew that it wasn't just me who had already accepted this, it was the rest of my wives who had also accepted this.

At the same time, I knew that the more power that I had in this world, the better it would be for me to protect what was mine.

Since coming to this world, there were many scenarios where I had been caught up in something and had almost lost my life. 𝚏r𝗲ewe𝚋𝐧𝚘vel.𝚌𝚘m

I knew that if I wanted to stay in this world and protect the ones that were dear to me, I would need more power. Right now, there was nothing that would give me more power than taking the throne of this kingdom.

So even if the king wanted to back down, it wasn't as if I would let him.

But for now, it was better to see what he wanted before jumping the gun.

I just calmly looked at him and said, "I've already prepared myself, so there's only one way to go."

The king narrowed his eyes to look at me for a few seconds before giving an approving nod.

I was surprised to see this approving nod from him, but then the king said, "Good. It's good to see that you've already made up your mind. I was worried that you would back down now that we've come this far."

A bitter smile appeared on my lips when I heard this.

It seemed that he never had any intentions of actually agreeing if I said that I wanted to stop.

It seemed that all along, he was just testing me to see if I was determined to see this through.

There was a part of me that couldn't help wondering what he would have done if I had actually said that I wanted to stop this, but I stopped myself from saying anything.

In the end, I just said, "This world depends on power and to protect the ones that I care about, I'll grasp that power. So I'll take this throne even if you don't want to give it up."

The king revealed a smile that had a trace of admiration in it when he heard this.

With a nod, he said, "That is the kind of attitude that you should have as the future king."

But then with a serious look, he saId, "But you have to remember that all eyes will be on you today. What you do now will determine how the others will see you, so you have to make sure that you show them that you aren't to be messed with."

I looked at the king with a surprised look when I heard this.

I clearly didn't expect to hear this from him, but the king just calmly said, "Treat this as my last bit of advice to you as the current king."

I raised a brow when I heard this, but the king just looked at me with a smile before walking away.
