Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 303 So what?

I just looked at her with a bitter smile on my face and asked, "Miss Veronica, why are you so far away from Bright Water City? What are you doing all the way here in my place?"

Veronica gave a snort and said, "Are you saying that I'm not welcome here?"

My lips twitched when I heard this, but I still said, "Miss Veronica, of course that is not what I meant. I was just saying that someone like you is far beyond a small place like mine."

Veronica gave another snort before saying, "So you're still saying that I'm not welcome here."

The bitter smile on my face became wider, but before I could say anything, she cut me off.

"Anyway, I'm here on behalf of my father to support you."

I couldn't help revealing a confused look when I heard this.

Veronica said, "You asked for my father's help, didn't you? That's why I'm here as his representative to show his support."

When I heard this, I couldn't help revealing an awkward look.

I had only proposed that as a cover for my actual reason for arriving in Bright Water City. I wasn't actually looking for help from Duke Beauchamp since I had no problem managing my city.

Especially since I was now a viscount.

The area that my territory was in was a remote place, so the nobles around here weren't that powerful in the first place.

With my new power as a viscount and the coat of arms that I had received, it should be easy for me to subdue all of the nobles in the surrounding area.

I was even expecting them to come and try to curry favour with me soon.

But of course, thinking about it from another perspective, there was nothing bad about getting the duke as a supporter. Having an extra powerful backer like this was always a good thing, especially since the Shadow Garden organization, my current backer, was about to collapse.

It would be better for my future if the duke supported me.

The problem was that I didn't know if the duke knew about everything that had changed during this time.

If the duke didn't know about what had happened in the capital and I hugged his leg during this, the duke certainly wouldn't be happy about being dragged into my problems like this.

Especially since the enemies were the powerful figures in the capital.

These were people that even the duke would hesitate to face.

So I took a deep breath and said, "Miss Veronica, I wonder, do you know about the matters that have happened in the capital recently?"

Veronica slightly knitted her brows when she heard this, but then she said with a nod, "I've received a few reports about that."

I wasn't surprised seeing this since the duke had already known that we were from Shadow Garden before.

It could be seen that the duke's information network was quite widespread and powerful.

Seeing this, I continued, "Then I'm sure that you're aware of everything that has happened in the capital during this time. I don't want to deceive you, but you should be aware of the dangers of allying yourself with someone like me right now. I'm sure that the duke would want to know about this situation before…"

Veronica suddenly looked at me with narrowed eyes that made me swallow the rest of my words.

She then said in a calm voice, "Are you saying that you're chasing me out?"

I quickly shook my head and said, "I would never do that, it's just that…"

Once again, before I could say anything else, she suddenly raised her hand and said, "So what?"

I couldn't help looking at her with a shocked look when I heard this before repeating under my breath, "So what?"

Then I said in an anxious voice, "I think that someone as smart as you should understand the dangers of such a decision. I'm just saying that…"

Once again, Veronica cut me off by saying, "And I'm telling you so what? Does it matter?"

I just didn't know what to say to this…

I had thought that this young miss of the ducal family was a smart person since she had been able to immediately follow up on the plan that I had given.

In fact, in the fight against the undead, she was the one that came up with most of the plan to lure them into the valley.

So it showed that she was quite the smart person.

Such a smart person should have been able to recognize the danger of associating with someone like me, but now she was acting willfully like this…

I really didn't know what to say in response.

While I looked at her in a daze, Veronica suddenly said, "I should mention that my father has already given me full rights to decide in this matter and I've already decided to support you. You wouldn't drive me away now, would you?"

My expression filled with even more shock when I heard this.

I opened and closed my mouth as if I wanted to say something, but I found that I wasn't able to say a single thing.

All the things that I wanted to say got mixed up together and I wasn't able to think of a single coherent thought.

In the end, I could only give a sigh and turn to look at Rose for help.

However, all that I received was a glare that seemed to be blaming me for something.

I really didn't understand what this glare was, but I knew that it was impossible to ask for her help when she was like this.

So with a heavy sigh, I said, "Then do whatever you want. I can't stop you anyway, so I won't take responsibility."

Veronica just said with a bright smile, "Then I'll be looking forward to making your pleasure. I'll be staying here for a bit, so please take care of me."

I just gave a nod after giving another sigh.

Under her breath, Veronica said, "Want to get rid of me that easily? Not a chance."
