Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1107: Burst of light

Even though the ceremony was over, there were still things that had to be done in the Nergiante Kingdom.

Just like how the Kite Kingdom needed time to reorganize themselves after taking over the three kingdoms, the new Nergiante Kingdom also needed time to organize themselves after taking over the Antwerp Kingdom.

So there was a lot of work to do.

As our allies, it was only natural that we helped the Nergiante Kingdom organize themselves.

But at the same time, I knew that the prime minister and chancellor were helping them so they could lay down some foundations in the future Nergiante Kingdom.

They wanted to use these foundations to have some control in the Nergiante Kingdom if it came down to it. They were used to planning out everything, so they just wanted that option if it came to it.

King Nergiante also knew this, but he didn't say anything as he allowed them to do what they wanted.

As for me, I didn't actually have any part in this.

This kind of stuff was in their domain of expertise, so it was best to leave this matter to them. If I were to get involved, there was no doubt that I would make plenty of mistakes that they would have to fix.

So it was best just to leave this matter to them.

What I had to do was...nothing.

During the time that I had been away, the others had worked out a system where I wouldn't have to be involved at all. In a way, because of my frequent absences, I had been downgraded to a figurehead king.

The ones that now held all of the power were Rose and Angela.

If they didn't need me, it would have been easy for them to take over as the rulers of the country.

But it wasn't as if I was worried that they would throw me away.

We were married and in love after all, they were even about to have my children.

And it was because they were pregnant and about to have my children that I was able to get some free time, that I wasn't always tired. After all, it wasn't as if they could continue night time activities while they were pregnant.

It had been some time and Rose's stomach was already growing bigger.

It seemed like it would only be a matter of time before the baby came.

I was worried about her, but she insisted that she was fine and that she would continue with her duties.

When she said it this strongly, it really was hard for me to say anything.

After all, I was the kind of scumbag husband who went out and left his wife alone at home most of the time. Though the things that I did were for the benefit of our kingdom, it was a fact that I left them all on their own at home most of the time.

So it wasn't as if there was anything that I could really say that would be convincing enough.

Though the one thing that I insisted on was having Cecilia stay to guard Rose.

She was also starting to show signs of being pregnant, so I couldn't have her running around as part of the royal guard. But at the same time, it wasn't as if she would accept being ordered to stay still that easily, so all I could do was give the order for her to stay with Rose and guard her.

That would keep her in a safe place at the very least.

But even though I had more free time, I couldn't spend it with my wives like I wanted to.

That was because there was a guest that followed me back to the Kite Kingdom.

It was the group from the Holy Empire.

The priest had followed me all the way back to the Kite Kingdom just so I wouldn't be able to run away. Though in the first place, it wasn't as if there was anywhere for me to run since I was the king of the Kite Kingdom.

From time to time, he would come looking for me to discuss the matter of me heading to the Holy Empire.

This was one of those times.

"Your majesty, I have something to show you today." The priest said as soon as he found me.

On other days, he would just talk about a few random things with me before slipping in a small reminder to head to the Holy Empire soon.

But today was different as he said that he had something to show to me.

Of course, it wasn't as if I could just reject meeting him, so I had no choice but to meet him.

Though when he said that there was something that he wanted to show me, I couldn't help being curious what this was.

He hadn't done anything like this before, so it was certainly strange and provoked a bit of interest in me. I couldn't help wondering just what kind of item he would have to show me.

Once we were seated, he took out a small thing that was wrapped up in a cloth that he put on the table in front of us.

After putting it down on the table, he slowly pulled aside the cloth to reveal what was inside.

What appeared was a ring, but it didn't seem like a special ring.

It seemed to be a normal ring that was made of metal, but it surprised me since I didn't recognize the metal that it was made of. Since I had spent a decent amount of time with the dwarves, I could say that I had a good idea of different kinds of metals.

For me to not recognize what kind of metal this was, it had to be some kind of special metal.

"This is...?" I slowly asked before looking at the priest, but he didn't say anything in response as he gestured at the ring, as if he wanted me to take a look at it.

I raised a brow, but I still reached out to touch the ring.

The moment that my hand made contact with the ring, there was a burst of light that appeared around it.

At the same time, the Mark of God appeared on my hand.
