Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 849 Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?

After traveling for half a day, we arrived in a town that wasn't that far away from the capital.

It was still light outside, so we would be able to keep going if we wanted to, but we chose to stop in this town.

This town wasn't the biggest town, but it wasn't the smallest town either as it had several inns in it. However, there was a specific inn that we chose to head to.

When we arrived at this Shadow Inn, Scar was the one that went to the front desk to get a room.

It didn't take him long to get that room for us, but this wasn't any normal room. 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

But then again, there weren't any normal rooms in this inn in the first place.

Once we arrived at our room, the first thing that the other three did was search the room for anything wrong with it.

After making sure that there was nothing in this room that shouldn't be in this room, Scar went over to the bookcase that was in this room. Once there, he pulled out one of the books on the bookcase, but he didn't pull it all the way out.

As someone from a different world with a different kind of common sense, I already knew what to expect after seeing him pull this book out.

Though that was also because they had already warned me about this before it happened, so it wasn't as if I didn't know what to expect.

As soon as the book was pulled out, there was a sound that came from the bookcase.

In no time at all, it shifted out of the way and revealed a secret passage.

This was the only thing that could have happened in my opinion.

Once the way forward was clear, there was nothing to do but to go down the passage that had opened up. It was a staircase that seemed to lead into the basement of the inn, but it was actually much further down than just that.

With how far down we went, it was clear that we weren't just heading into the basement.

When we finally stopped heading down, there was a door that was waiting for us.

It seemed like there was light coming from behind the door, but there wasn't any sound at all.

Scar and Shaka were the ones that led the way, but they stopped once they opened the door.

They turned back to look at me as if they were waiting for me to head in first.

I gave a nod to them before walking into the room there.

Even though there was no sound at all, there were many people that were waiting in the room in silence. All of them stood there with calm looks on their faces as if they weren't bothered by the silence at all.

The moment that I came in, all of their eyes immediately turned to me and I became the center of attention.

With the way that all of them were looking at me, it was as if they were scoping me out.

I wasn't fazed by this at all as I swept my eyes across everyone here, but there was a strange look that was in my eyes as I saw just how many people were here.

I already knew that the prime minister had summoned quite a few people to help me with this, but I didn't expect this many people to be here.

Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?

It seemed like there were several hundred people that were here…

This just seemed like too many people to handle this one situation, but it was already too late to send them all back.

In that case, there was only one thing that I could do…

"I'm sure that all of you are wondering why you've been summoned here."

That was the first thing that I said after stepping into the room.

All of them revealed surprised looks hearing the calm tone of my voice since they didn't expect this from me.

But they eventually nodded in agreement since that was indeed the case.

They had only been summoned in a hurry by the prime minister without being told what was happening. The only thing that they knew was that this was related to the increased monster activity across the kingdom.

I took this time to explain the same things that I told Scar and the others about on the ride here.

As they listened to my explanation, everyone revealed strange looks.

However, the one thing that was clear from the way that they all looked at me was that they had their doubts.

It wasn't just one person that had doubt in their eyes, it was everyone that had doubts in their eyes. Even the shadows who should have known me best because of the time that we had spent together had the same look of doubt in their eyes.

In the end, they just accepted what I said.

That was their training as special elites of the kingdom.

They knew not to ask questions and to just go along with their orders, even if they had personal doubts. Especially when there was someone who was much higher than them in command right now.

Part of their training was obedience to the royal family and since I was the current king, it meant that I was the head of the royal family. That meant that the obedience that was trained into them was directed to me.

As such, I could order them around as I wanted.

I knew better than to question this, so all I did was…

"I know that you might not trust me, but I hope that you will trust that I am doing this for the good of the kingdom. I hope that you will trust that I am doing this for the people that you care about." I said in a firm voice.

All of the soldiers in front of me were surprised to hear this, but then they all gave a firm nod in response.

At the very least, I had won a bit of respect from them.
