Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 358 Sister

Once Drogath had been sent packing, the mood of the banquet regained its momentum a bit.

However, it was impossible for it to return to the liveliness that it once had after that interruption.

It was safe to say that this banquet was over.

The Dwarven King gave a sigh before turning around. He waved his hand and said, "Come, let's go talk in a private place."

I looked at him with one brow raised for a bit before following behind the Dwarven King.

He didn't leave the banquet right away and made a lap to talk to a few people. At the same time, he also went to pick up Haley and the others from my group.

After we had picked everyone up, he finally left the banquet hall and went down one of the side halls.

As we left, I could hear the party ending behind us.

Since the Dwarven King and even us as the guest of honours had left, there was no meaning to this banquet anymore.

So they all started to disperse after we left the room.

The Dwarven King led us to a private room and we all sat down before waiting for him to say something.

We had no idea why we were here, we had been brought here by him after all.

So all we could do was wait for him to say something.

But the Dwarven King just sat there without saying a single thing.

The only thing he did was give sighs again and again.

It was as if something was bothering him, but he wasn't willing to talk about it.

Eventually, he still said something.

"I'm sorry for what happened back there. It was my mistake for not making sure that they couldn't sneak in."

As we had expected, that Drogath hadn't been invited and had snuck in.

The Dwarven King had shown that he wanted to cooperate with us, so he wouldn't have brought someone like that to the banquet.

Seeing the way that we looked at him, he said with a sigh, "I don't have a way to deal with him either. I want to, but he has a position that's considered quite volatile."

Seeing that we had confused looks, he explained, "That Drogath is the head of the anti human faction."

We were surprised, but we weren't that surprised since we had already expected this with the way that he had acted. It was clear that he didn't like humans, but we had never expected him to be the head of the anti human faction.

The Dwarven King continued by saying, "It's not that we don't want to deal with them, but if we take down Drogath…they'll just go even more overboard. He's considered mellow compared to some of the others, so it's better to leave him in his place."

"The lesser of two evils, huh?" I couldn't help saying.

The Dwarven King's eyes opened a bit wider before he gave a nod in response.

He then continued by saying, "Not only that, he's also quite the blacksmith that he has the respect of quite a few people. So unless someone crushes him with skill, it's not likely that they will be changing leaders."

I looked at him and could see that there was something off about the Dwarven King.

It was almost as if there was something that he wasn't telling us.

So I asked, "What's wrong? What are you hiding?"

The Dwarven King couldn't help jolting when he heard this before looking at me with a strange look.

It was almost as if he was trying to figure out how I had been able to see through him like this.

But in the end, he said with a sigh, "He's a childhood friend, so I don't really want to do anything to him either. He's just strayed down the wrong path…"

His voice trailed off after he said this, but it was clear by the look on his face how he was feeling.

He just wasn't saying it.

In the end, he said, "But since he's a childhood friend, that's why my little sister married him in the first place. She's the one that I'm worried about the most since I've seen the way that he treats her."

There was no response to this since we all looked at him with shocked looks.

The part that we were shocked by was…'little sister'.

We never thought that busty loli would be the Dwarven King's little sister.

It seemed that this matter was more complicated than we thought…

In the end, I said with a sigh, "This doesn't affect our relationship. They can do what they want, but it shouldn't affect our business, right?"

The Dwarven King was surprised to hear this, but he revealed a grateful look afterwards.

Then he said in a soft voice, "It would be great if I could separate my little sister from him, but I can't do anything about it because of my position. If only there was someone that could defeat him in a forging duel."

While saying this, he kept peeking at me from time to time.

But I ignored this as I didn't want to get involved in the matters of the dwarves.

This was clearly an internal issue and not something that I should get involved in…but it didn't seem like the Dwarven King would drop this issue that easily.

The look in his eyes seemed like he wanted to bring me in again…

I didn't want that, so I said, "I don't want to get involved in this. As long as he doesn't come at me, I won't do anything to him."

The Dwarven King surprisingly gave a nod of agreement when he heard this before saying, "I'll do my best to keep him away from you. I promise that I won't let anything ruin our friendship."

I was surprised by this, but I didn't feel like anything was wrong with what he said.

Though I couldn't stop the bad feeling that filled me like something was about to happen…
