Chapter 759 A moment of respite

As we passed through this town, there were some nobles that suggested that they clear out a space so that the fourth prince could make a speech in front of their citizens.

Of course, that would also include showing off me, who was sitting in the cage.

They wanted to bring down my prestige as much as they could and to make sure that everyone knew that I had fallen this far.

They wanted to kick me when I was down.

It was clear that the nobles in this town were not on my side.

It was clear that these were nobles that disliked me, whether it was for personal or professional reasons.

But that was the reason why the fourth prince chose to bring me here in the first place.

He wanted to show my predicament off to these nobles to help sell our cover. At the same time, he wanted to make preparations for when we took down these nobles since this plan was also targeting them.

In the end, the fourth prince said, "No, there are still other places that we have to go before today ends. I just came here to show you all the plight that Duke Zwein is in and I hope that you will..." After a pause, the fourth prince revealed a sly look as he said, "Help me spread the news of this."

The nobles had looks of understanding slowly appear on their faces before they all nodded in agreement with smiles on their faces.

As soon as they heard this, they knew what the fourth prince was asking of them.

He was asking them to help spread the news even further so that my reputation would be ruined even more.

He was basically telling them to help destroy me, which was what they wanted to do in the first place.

So the nobles naturally agreed to this without any hesitation.

The first time was when I had arrived in this world, I had been put in the dungeon by the baron after he bought me for his wife.

That was how I had arrived in this world and I was experiencing something like this again...It really was a strange feeling.

Still, it wasn't as if I was actually a prisoner.

After sitting down and resting for a bit, I asked with a serious look, "How do you think this will go? Do you really think it'll all go as planned?"

The teasing smile disappeared from the fourth prince's face as he revealed a look of deep thought.

After a moment of silence, he said, "There shouldn't be a problem. I've already made sure to take care of all the things that could go wrong and I've even taken precaution against things that no one would expect. So in the end, it should be fine."

I looked at him with narrowed eyes for a bit before slowly giving a nod.

There still seemed like many things that could go wrong with this, but at the very least he seemed confident.

So far, nothing had gone wrong, so it wasn't as if I could say anything.

Though I did feel like it wouldn't turn out as simple as the fourth prince thought it was.

For now, I just sat back on the couch that I was on and relaxed.

The fourth prince saw this and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you that tired?"

With a bitter smile, I said, "You can try being in a cage and telling me how it feels. This is the only downtime that I'll have during this time, so I'll make the most out of it."

The fourth prince gave a nod with a faint smile, but he didn't say anything.
