Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure



As soon as her voice fell, not a single person was able to say a single thing in response.

That included me who just stared at her in a daze.

But then the crowd exploded with complaints.

There were countless people that were cursing me out for being a demon and using some kind of magic to control the new baroness.

But in the end, they were all quieted down by the guards that had been at the ceremony.

The priest looked at me with a strange look, but then he shook his head to deny the allegations of the crowd.

This man might be a priest, but he was also a powerful light magic user since he was able to become a priest. The priests in this game were all powerful clerics that relied on power to reach their position, so not a single one of them could be looked down on.

This translated to this world that was based on that game.

So with the prestige that this priest had, it quickly cleared up the allegations of me using magic to control the baroness.

But that still didn't explain why Baroness Rose would want me as her husband and the new baron.

The priest looked carefully at Baroness Rose and asked, "Baroness, are you sure of this? Do you understand what you are asking for?"

Baroness Rose had been looking at me the entire time, completely ignoring the crowd around her as she was waiting for my reaction. But since it was the priest who asked her this, she had no choice but to turn to him to respond.

"I am fully aware of what this decision means." Baroness Rose said in a firm voice.

The priest had a strange look on his face, but he still gave a nod of acknowledgement in the end.

After all, he was able to see that she wasn't affected by a single trace of magic.

So this was indeed something that she was saying of her own will.

But of course, even if the priest accepted this, that didn't mean that the others would.

Especially those people who were sitting on the side with fancy clothes. These were the rich and powerful people in the Lord Baron's territory who hadn't become demon worshipers, so they had survived the purge.

These people were fine with Madame Rose taking over as the baroness, but for someone like me who came out of nowhere to go over their head and become the new baron…That was something that these people definitely couldn't accept.

Not to mention, there were some of them who knew my true identity.

They knew that I was the sex slave that the Lord Baron had bought for Madame Rose.

Someone of this background definitely wasn't suited to becoming the new baron!

So they were about to make a fuss and use their prestige to pressure Baroness Rose.

But before they could, there was someone who took the lead to stop them.

It was Richard, the one that had supported Madame Rose and had given me the disguise to infiltrate the demon order.

"All of you, do you understand what you are doing? Baroness Rose is the new ruler of this domain and all of you are thinking of overstepping your bounds! I will not forgive anyone that shows disrespect to the baroness!" Richard said in a fierce voice.

When these people heard this, they couldn't help cowering a bit.

That was because after the purge, with many positions of power being vacated, Richard had gained quite a bit of influence in this territory. Not to mention, he was someone who was loyal to Madame Rose, so she had helped him claim quite a bit of power.

So they didn't dare offend Richard right now.

At the same time, Baroness Rose had also turned her gaze away from the priest and was glaring at these people.

When this gaze was on them, they couldn't help feeling the pressure coming from Baroness Rose that suppressed them.

So they had no choice but to back down and accept Baroness Rose's decision.

Richard gave a snort after seeing them cower and he turned back to look in our direction.

Though it seemed like he was looking at Baroness Rose, I could tell that his gaze was on me…

For some reason, I could also feel a bit of hostility coming from that gaze.

If I remember correctly, this Richard wasn't married and didn't have a fiancee…Though he was significantly older than Baroness Rose…

After the crowd fell quiet, Baroness Rose turned back to look at me as if she was still waiting for a response from me.

But I was in a terrible position right now.

I could feel the gazes of hostility, anger, and envy coming from the crowd.

Baroness Rose was a beautiful woman and she was someone that now had the title of baroness, so she was the dream lover of countless people. The fact that I had swooped in out of nowhere and claimed her would definitely create many enemies.

But there really was nothing else that I could say in this situation.

So I could only give a nod in response to this.

Baroness Rose revealed a happy smile before bringing me over to stand in front of the priest.

The priest had a very awkward and strange look on his face, but under the pressure of Baroness Rose, he had no choice but to do the same ceremony that he did for her with me.

After he finished asking me the same questions, I couldn't help looking at Baroness Rose.

Seeing that smile on her face, I could only nod and said, "I swear."

With that, I was named Baron Zwein.

Once the ceremony was over, Baroness Rose didn't spend any more time here.

Under the angry and distrusting look of the crowd, we headed back to the carriage and drove off back to the manor.

Of course, not a single one of these looks were aimed at Baroness Rose.

All of them were aimed at me.
