Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 711 The second prince’s sincerity (3)

The next destination that we headed to was…a quarry.

This wasn't just any quarry, it turned out to be a quarry that was filled with a special material.

Limestone.

This was a limestone quarry.

As soon as I saw this, there were things that were suddenly made clear to me.

When we were in the village, there was something else that I had noted.

The buildings that were in the village weren't just the normal stone and wood buildings that could be seen everywhere else. The buildings in that village were like stone buildings, but the material seemed different.

The fourth prince didn't really pay attention to this since he didn't know what this material was in the first place.

However, it was different for me who had come from a more modern world.

The moment that I saw it, I recognized it.

It was concrete that was used to make these houses.

Though I had no idea what that concrete was made from until I saw this mine.

While I didn't really know how they did it, I did know that limestone was used for concrete back in ancient times. So this was the only thing that the limestone from this quarry could be used for.

No, it wasn't the only thing that this limestone could be used for.

There was actually another use for it that also explained another thing that had puzzled me.

Fertilizer.

Limestone could also be used for fertilizer.

This was something that was done in the middle ages in my old world, so it fit the time period, but it was strange that the second prince was able to discover these two uses for the limestone in such a short period of time.

This was something that took mankind a long time to discover in my previous world, yet the second prince was able to discover all of this in such a short period of time.

I couldn't help finding this suspicious no matter how I looked at it.

Was the second prince just a genius or was there something else at play here?

There was a part of me that didn't want to think that this was true, but there was also a part of me that felt that this was the most logical explanation at the same time. After all, it would explain everything that was happening with the second prince…

The fourth prince looked at me as if he was hoping that I would know something about this, but I just shook my head to show that I didn't know a thing.

The fourth prince raised a brow when he saw this, as if he was doubting me, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The second prince just led us around for a bit longer before bringing us to the office of this quarry.

The ministers had wanted to join, but they were actually sent out by the second prince.

They didn't even bother arguing about it as they just listened to what the second prince said, once again showing just how much power he had in this kingdom.

After sitting down, the second prince looked at us with a smile and said, "Do you see my sincerity now?"

Both the fourth prince and I were taken aback when we heard this.

After all, we never expected him to suddenly say something like this.

Sincerity…was this sincerity?

It seemed like he was just trying to show off how much power their Midra Kingdom had instead of showing us anything that would show his sincerity.

But thinking about it another way, it was a way of him showing his sincerity since this was showing us just what kind of things that Midra Kingdom was relying on.

If one thought about it as information on the Midra Kingdom, this was information that we shouldn't have been able to get without paying a large price.

Of course, the key parts of the information, such as how these things were used and made were missing. However, this was certainly considered a show of sincerity based on the information that was given.

The second prince just sat there with a smile on his face, waiting for us to say something.

The fourth prince didn't say anything as he looked at me, as if he was leaving this decision up to me.

I just looked at the second prince for a bit before saying, "Why? You still haven't answered why you want to do this."

The second prince was a bit surprised to hear this before saying, "I've already told you, the Midra Kingdom is doomed to fail with these people in charge. It's only a matter of time before…"

"No, that's not what I meant." I suddenly cut him off.

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before saying, "You and I both know what I'm really asking, so I'll ask one more time. Why?"

It was one simple word, but it made the second prince deeply knit his brows.

He narrowed his eyes to look at me before taking a deep breath and saying, "If I answer this, will you give me an answer?"

Both the fourth prince and I were once again surprised to hear this, but after looking at the second prince for a bit to gauge him, I gave a nod.

I didn't know why, but it felt like this was just the right thing to do.

Both the fourth prince and I had stunned looks on our faces when we heard the second prince's real reason. The two of us just kept staring at him in shock for a bit, as if we were trying to figure out if he was being serious or not.

But in the end, I said with a nod, "Alright, I can accept your explanation. I just want to know, just what do you want us to do?"

The second prince revealed a smile before saying, "It's very simple, I just need you to…"
