Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1103: Arrival of the Holy Empire

It took two days to organize the territory of the former Antwerp Kingdom.

As soon as the prime minister's aides came in, it was easy to organize everything.

They got everything that they needed from the Antwerp Kingdom's former king and his ministers and then organized everything with the system of the Kite Kingdom.

The system that the prime minister and the chancellor came up with could be considered close to perfect with how it accounted for almost anything that could happen.

The only things that it didn't account for were those rare events that could happen that didn't happen often.

But they were so rare in the first place which was why they didn't account for them.

It was very unlikely that any of those things would happen in the first place.

With the aides working hard, it didn't take long to bring the Nergiante Dukedom's people into the positions that needed to be filled.

With them shadowing the aides, they were able to learn the things that they had to do.

That was how they developed into people that could hold these positions by learning all that they could from the aides that the prime minister sent.

On the third day, it was the day when the Nergiante Dukedom would announce that it would become the Nergiante Kingdom.

There was a large ceremony that was held in the capital of the Nergiante Dukedom.

Even though the Antwerp Kingdom's capital was bigger and more prosperous, Duke... No, it was King Nergiante now, who decided to hold the ceremony in the capital of the former Nergiante Dukedom.

That was his way of announcing to the world that even if the dukedom became a kingdom, that didn't change who they were at the core.

The core of the new Nergiante Kingdom would still be the same old Nergiante Dukedom.

So they wouldn't abandon the lands of the former Nergiante Dukedom now that they had obtained the lands of the Antwerp Kingdom.

As for the former king and ministers of the Antwerp Kingdom, they were not allowed to come to the ceremony at all.

What happened to the former king and ministers was that they had been exiled to remote parts of the former Antwerp Kingdom's territory. They would be trapped there forever and would never have the chance to step into the political landscape of the future Nergiante Kingdom.

Though it could be said that they were lucky since the other option was death.

If it wasn't for someone making a decision to spare them, they might have been killed in secret so that they wouldn't be able to cause any harm in the future.

It was only because of someone's insistence that they be kept alive that they were allowed to live and instead be punished with being exiled.

"How are you feeling?" I asked in a calm voice.

King Nergiante looked at me with a bitter smile before saying, "I never thought that something like this would happen in my lifetime. I always thought that I would run the Nergiante Dukedom like my forefathers did and never accomplish anything in my life. But everything has changed since I met you."

A faint smile appeared on my lips, but I didn't say anything in response.

Though that was mainly because I couldn't really say anything in response.

It wasn't as if I could tell him the real reason for everything that had changed in his life.

It was hard for anyone to even believe the reason for this if I were to tell them.

So all I could do was smile and hide it all.

But there was a bad feeling that was deep inside of me.

It felt like something was about to go wrong...

After all, the former king and the ministers of the Antwerp Kingdom had already admitted that they had asked the Holy Empire for help. At the same time, they had admitted that the Holy Empire had already stated that they would be sending reinforcements to them.

So that meant that the troops of the Holy Empire should already be on the way here.

We didn't know this when we chose to take down the Antwerp Kingdom and it was already too late since the Antwerp Kingdom no longer existed.

Once the troops of the Holy Empire arrived, it was hard to tell what they would do.

It might be hard for them to say anything once the Nergiante Kingdom was officially established, but before that...they might be able to argue that the Nergiante Kingdom had no right to be established.

They might even be able to bring the former king of the Antwerp Kingdom back onto the throne.

It all depended on how far the Holy Empire wanted to take this.

That was why I had kept the former king of the Antwerp Kingdom and the ministers alive.

I knew that it was impossible to avoid them, so the only thing that could be done was face them head on and see what happened.

It was impossible to avoid the influence of the Holy Empire, it was only possible to avoid it

temporarily.

But it didn't seem like they would arrive in time.

Or that was what it seemed like until there was a soldier that suddenly ran in.

The moment that he ran in, both King Nergiante and I looked at him with knitted brows. That was because both of us knew that he must have a reason for running in here like this. After the soldier ran in, he said with a serious and worried look, "The Holy Empire's delegation has just arrived."

"How many?" I asked without any hesitation.

The soldier was surprised to hear me asking this, but he didn't hesitate to answer since he

already knew who I was.

"It's a small group of a few priests and a few knights."

Both of us couldn't help knitting our brows even more as neither of us could understand what

the Holy Empire's group was planning to do.

I looked at King Nergiante and he looked at me, neither of us said anything.

Eventually, I turned back to the soldier and said, "We're going to meet them."

The soldier looked at King Nergiante with a worried and doubtful look, but he eventually led

the way when he saw King Nergiante nodding to him.

But that worried look didn't disappear.
