Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 699 Beirut Kingdom

We set off early the next morning and in the afternoon, we arrived in the capital of the Beirut Kingdom.

When we went to the border, there was a panic.

When we arrived in the capital, there was a panic.

It seemed that no matter where we went, as long as we had these wyverns with us, it would cause a panic.

But that couldn't be blamed on the people of the Beirut Kingdom.

Wyverns could be considered a deep trauma for them after what had happened during the war.

They could still remember the sight of the wyverns flying over them, releasing their flame breaths down on them. It was the sight of hell on earth as everything had been burning.

If it wasn't for the fact that they had held back, the wyverns might have even burned the entire capital to the ground.

So unlike our own kingdom's capital, everyone stayed far away from the wyverns when they arrived.

Whether that was in the Beirut Kingdom capital or the border.

All of them were afraid to greet us, but there were those that came to greet us since they had no choice but to greet us.

The ones that welcomed us didn't seem like they were of low ranking.

When they introduced themselves, we found out that it was the prime minister that had come to welcome us.

Of course, it wouldn't be the king that would come since they still had their pride as the ruler of this country. But for the prime minister to come showed that they at least showed us quite a bit of respect.

The one that they came to greet was me.

I was surprised that they chose to greet me, but I found that was because they knew who I was.

I didn't think that they would know who I was, but it seemed that I had amassed quite a bit of fame in these other countries. Or it was better to say that I had amassed quite a bit of infamy with how they looked at me.

There were traces of fear that were in their eyes, along with some people that looked at me with hatred.

I wasn't surprised to see this since I had been the one that had slaughtered the entire Beirut Kingdom army. Even if we had sent the former General Gardner as a scapegoat, I knew that it was impossible for the higher ups of the Beirut Kingdom not to know about my involvement.

As nobles of the Beirut Kingdom, there was also no doubt that their troops and their relatives would have been a part of the army that I destroyed.

So it was only natural that they would feel hatred towards me.

But it wasn't as if they could do anything to me.

If they were to try anything and I were to escape, there was no doubt that it would be the end for their Beirut Kingdom.

Right now, the Beirut Kingdom is in a very weak state with all of the troops that they lost. This was the case with not just the Beirut Kingdom, but the other three kingdoms that bordered ours.

If they were to start an international incident, there was no doubt that none of the other kingdoms would support them.

When that time came, they would be annexed by our kingdom.

The only reason we didn't do it sooner was because our kingdom was also weakened by the war. If we were to take over the Beirut Kingdom territory, it would mean bordering even more kingdoms which would create even more tension.

So right now, these four kingdoms are being used as buffer zones by us.

After recovering from his surprise, the prime minister came forward to say, "Duke Zwein, it is an honour for our Beirut Kingdom to welcome you to our capital."

As he said this, he reached his hand out towards me as if offering a handshake.

However, I could see from the look in his eyes…that was the last thing that he wanted to do.

It was clear that he was also one of those that had lost relatives in the war, most likely at my hands. It was very likely that he wanted nothing more than to kill me as well, but of course he would never get that chance.

I just calmly took his hand and said with a smile, "It really is my honour to be here. I never thought that I would get a chance to visit this place after what happened."

There were a few people that revealed looks of rage when they heard this since they could understand the provocation that was hidden between my words.

I was basically saying, "I never thought that I would be able to visit this place after the devastation I caused."

Though it wasn't really me who caused that devastation, as it was the fourth prince that sent the wyvern riders to attack the capital.

But they knew that I was the one that controlled the wyverns, so they blamed it on me.

The prime minister also reacted when he heard me say this, but it seemed like he was able to control his emotions better than the others as he forced a calm look on his face and said, "It really is lucky that you were able to come here."

There were a few more introductions that were made, but I didn't really care about remembering their names. This was supposed to be a short visit to threaten them, it wasn't as if I was here to become their friends.

In the future, they would want nothing more than to kill me, so it was better not to get too familiar with them. The more they knew about me, the more information that they would be able to use against me.

When it came to introducing our side, there weren't many people for me to introduce since most of the ones that came with me were guards.

Though there was one that I did have to introduce.

"This is Count Navar."

This was a person that hadn't been with our group until late last night.
