Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 669 Can you repeat that again? (4)

?The expression on the fourth prince's face made it very clear that he was filled with regret over what he had done.

But the look in his eyes made it clear that he knew that what he had done was for the best.

If he hadn't done this, it would be unknown what would have happened to their kingdom.

So in the end, he knew that he had done what needed to be done and wouldn't go back on what he had done in the end.

But that didn't mean that I didn't think that he was still the better candidate for the throne. Rather, it made me even certain that he was the better candidate for the throne since he was the one that truly cared about the kingdom and knew what was the best for the kingdom.

If someone like him was on the throne, then the kingdom would surely enter a new age of prosperity.

It shouldn't be someone like me who had nothing to his name that should be on the throne.

I wanted to say something, but the fourth prince cut me off by saying, "This is the plan that we've laid out all this time, it's already too late for us to go back. We can only finish this plan and do our best for the people of the kingdom."

I looked at him with a look of pity when I heard this, but the fourth prince shook his head before saying with a smile, "Don't feel sad for me, this is already the best ending for me. After all, the original plan would have resulted in my death."

It wasn't just me who was shocked to hear this, Angela was also shocked when she heard this.

After all, it seemed like she didn't know anything about this plan either.

The fourth prince saw the looks that we gave him and he explained, "In the beginning, we were afraid that the person that big sister married wouldn't have enough prestige to take the throne. So to counter that, I would have organized a coup and then tried to take the throne from our royal father. The one that would have stopped me in the end would be the one that big sister chose and then that would have given them the prestige to take the throne." f reenovelkiss.com

As soon as he said this, I couldn't help revealing a very complicated look.

That was because this was the last piece of the puzzle that I needed.

The plot in the game, I realize now that it was only the tip of the iceberg…

Why had the fourth prince started his coup to try and take the throne?

It was all because of this plan that he was currently talking about.

So it turned out that behind the noble plotline in the game was another plotline like this that the players never learned about.

If they had done different things, would they have found this secret plotline involving the fourth prince?

As this revelation hit me, I started to realize that perhaps…the knowledge that I had brought to this world on the game that this world was based on wasn't as useful as I thought it was.

I had thought that I had perfectly cleared the game and learned everything that I needed to know about the game, but it seemed that there were many secrets about the game that I didn't know yet.

It seemed that there were secrets that no player had ever discovered about this game…

Did the developers intentionally put these things in the game or was it a result of coincidence that these things were in the game in the first place?

I couldn't help feeling smaller and smaller as these revelations hit me one by one.

The fourth prince had been looking at me with a strange and confused look when he saw the daze that I was in, but he still gave a cough before saying, "Anyway, since Brother Zwein already has his prestige from the war, there is no need for me to put my life down to pave the way for Brother Zwein to take the throne. This really is the best ending for me."

With a sigh, he said in a voice that almost seemed sad, "Perhaps now I can finally achieve my dream of living a normal life."

I looked at him with a complicated expression when I heard this.

The fourth prince saw this, so he said with a smile, "Of course, I knew that this isn't possible since there are still many things that we have to do for our kingdom."

With a bow to me, he said, "So if you are willing, I hope that you will allow me to serve as your prime minister for the time being."

I was surprised to see the fourth prince acting like this, but I quickly shook my head as I said, "No, no, I haven't even agreed to take the throne yet."

The king and the fourth prince looked at each other with bitter smiles before turning back to look at me. The king just calmly said, "There's no going back now, everything has been set into motion. If you do not cooperate with our plan, then all that is left is chaos for our kingdom. Eventually, it will even lead to the complete collapse of this kingdom that our ancestors built."

I was completely caught off guard by these words from the king.

I just looked at him with narrowed eyes for a bit before suddenly saying, "That's a threat, isn't it?"

The king gave a knowing smile without saying a thing.

When I turned to the fourth prince, I found that he had the same smile on his face.

These two knew exactly what they were doing and they felt no shame about it…

Perhaps it was because this was the only option that they had…

The straw that broke the camel's back was Angela.

She turned to look at me and put her hand on my arm with a pleading look.

Even though it was clear that she wasn't willing to accept all this, she knew that she had no choice. It was the duty that she had to the kingdom and her family that compelled her to try and convince me to accept this.

In the end, I had no choice but to say with a sigh, "Fine."
