Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

I was surprised to hear this.

However, my surprise didn't come from the fact that they had something else that they wanted to discuss.

It was only natural that they would have more things to discuss since we had only talked about the matter of the Relic of Destruction. It wasn't as if the Relic of Destruction and the forces of Destruction was the only thing that we had in common.

There were trades that we engaged in with all these different races.

The thing that surprised me was the tone that they said this in.

From their tone, I could tell that there was something strangely serious that they wanted to discuss.

It was far more serious than what it should be.

After all, the trade deals that we had were things that had already been established. If they wanted to add something, it wasn't as if it was that big of a deal, it was just something that had to be added into the current trade deal.

So for them to be this serious meant that there should be something just as serious that they wanted to talk about.

With a slightly confused look on my face, I asked, "What is it?"

None of them said anything as they just looked at each other.

With the way that they looked at each other like this, it seemed like they had already discussed this matter between themselves privately.

But at the same time, it seemed like they were hesitating over something.

Even though they were the ones that had brought it up, it really seemed like they were hesitating over something.

Well, that was except for the Dwarven King.

He was the only one that seemed to be relaxed…almost too relaxed.

With the way that he was sitting there with a smile on his face, it really seemed like he was watching a show instead of being involved in this matter.

I just couldn't figure out what they wanted to talk about…

"We want to create a closer relationship with your Kite Kingdom." The Merman King suddenly said this to my surprise.

I looked at him with a confused look since there wasn't anything else that could be done about this. At this point, we were already as close as we could be as two different countries.

The only way for us to become closer would be to become one single country.

But I knew that the Merman King didn't mean that.

It wasn't as if they would suddenly invade us now that there was a crisis to the entire continent happening.

Seeing the look on my face, the Merman King didn't actually explain.

It seemed like he was hesitating on what he wanted to say.

So I looked at Olos, but it seemed like he was also hesitating on what to say.

The only one that seemed like he didn't have a problem was the Dwarven King, but I could clearly see that he wasn't planning on getting involved in this matter. The smile on his face showed that he was having fun watching everything happen.

So I had to wait for the Merman King to explain what he meant by this.

After a long silence, he finally said, "We want to arrange a few marriages between our races and your Kite Kingdom."

"A few marriages?" I repeated slowly with a confused look on my face.

After all, I had no idea what he was referring to when he said this.

As far as I knew, there wasn't anyone that was close with each other between the two races. Other than me, it wasn't as if the others that had contact with the other races were that close.

So there was no way that they would be looking for members of the other races to marry.

There might be one or two who were close with each other, but they wouldn't see it that way.

Seeing the way that I responded, the Merman King suddenly revealed an angry look and he slammed his fist down on the table before saying, "Were you just playing with my daughter?"

That made an awkward look appear on my face.

After all, it wasn't as if I didn't know what he was talking about now that he had made it this clear.

Only a fool would have missed all the different signs that were there and I wasn't that blind.

It was just that I felt satisfied with what I had already, so I didn't want to push things. At the same time, it was also because I didn't think that I would be able to keep up if I got more wives.

There was a certain amount of stamina that was required for one to have multiple wives and I was getting close to my limit.

If I continued gaining more wives…

But it wasn't as if this was something that could be said to the Merman King.

The one that he was trying to push onto me was his daughter and if I said something this crude to him, there was no doubt that he would completely lose his temper.

So all I could say was, "This matter isn't that easy to discuss, especially at a sensitive time like this. If we were to do this, I'm sure that there would be things said by the others. Perhaps we can discuss this at a later time when there's peace on the continent?"

The Merman King wasn't happy to hear this as he slammed his fist down on the table once more.

Narrowing his eyes to look at me, he said, "I don't care about all of that and you shouldn't either. We all know that they won't actually do anything about this if it were to happen. All that matters is what you say now."

Then in a more threatening voice, he said, "I urge you to think carefully about what you say next."

All I could do was look back at him with a bitter smile on my face.
