Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 750 Secret alliance

?The Dwarven King couldn't help knitting his brows when he heard this before looking at me with a gaze that seemed like he was questioning me about this.

I just looked at him with a calm look as if this would give him his answer.

After a long silence, the Dwarven King said with a nod, "Alright, I can do that."

But after another pause, he added, "However, you have to at least tell me why you are doing this. Otherwise, I can't trust a deal that seems too good to be true." Then after another pause, he said, "You have to see it from my position. I am responsible for everyone in my country and I can't just risk their lives like this."

This time, I no longer remained silent.

I understood the Dwarven King's position and I knew that it would be impossible to convince him unless I said something.

Not to mention, I didn't want to completely leave him hanging like this.

He was someone that I considered a friend, so it wasn't as if I wanted to make things difficult for him.

There were just a few things that I couldn't tell him, but beyond that...it wasn't as if I had to leave him completely in the dark.

So I said, "I'm doing this because I want to build allies that I can trust."

The Dwarven King deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

He just looked at me with a look that was very uncertain, as if he could tell that this was something very big. But at the same time, it didn't seem like he was against what I was about to say.

It almost seemed like he wanted to support me.

The problem was that without enough information, he couldn't judge how dangerous this would be for his people.

If it was just him alone, then the Dwarven King wouldn't mind taking a risk for his friends.

But if it meant risking the lives of all the dwarves in the Dwarven Kingdom...

Naturally this was not a risk that he could take.

I could see that as well, so I continued by saying, "There will be a change in the Kite Kingdom soon and I hope that you will help us when the time comes. That is why I want to give you these wyverns to help us create a powerful ally."

The Dwarven King deeply knitted his brows since he had already expected this, but this still wasn't enough information for him to accept this.

I knew that as well, so I gave him the last piece of information that I could give him.

"I'm marrying the princess of the Kite Kingdom, you should already know that. It means that I'm quite close to the current royal family. At the same time, you should know that the fourth prince calls me brother. So it isn't as if there's a bad relationship between me and the royal family of the Kite Kingdom."

The Dwarven King deeply knitted his brows once more when he heard this.

There were naturally many questions that he wanted to ask after hearing this, but…he knew that this should be all that I was willing to say.

Anything more would have completely exposed my plans and put not just me, but also him in danger.

So he didn't ask anything else even though it was clear that there were other things that he wanted to ask.

After a long silence, the Dwarven King said, "Alright, I'll trust you this one time."

The way that he said it almost seemed like he was doing me a favour, but I knew that this was just his way of saving face for himself.

If he didn't say it like this, it would seem like he was only doing this for me and he couldn't do that as the king. He had to at least pretend that it was for the good of the Dwarven Kingdom that he was doing this.

This was his bottom line as the Dwarven King.

I revealed a faint smile when I heard this, but I gave a nod in response before reaching my hand out towards the Dwarven King and saying, "Consider it repayment for the Staff of Earth."

The Dwarven King was surprised by this before suddenly breaking out in laughter.

After laughing for a bit, he wiped the tear from his eye and said, "It seems like you've already figured everything out, haven't you? You've even come up with an excuse for me."

I just revealed a smile without saying anything.

But after a while, I still said, "If it wasn't for this business with the Staff of Earth, I really wouldn't have known how to bring this matter up. I can only say that I'm grateful that this matter happened or else I might not have been able to bring this up."

The Dwarven King revealed a bitter smile before saying, "Then should I be saying that it's my luck to give up the relic of my people?"

I just smiled at him without saying anything.

The Dwarven King shook his head once more and gave a sigh, but he didn't keep pursuing this matter.

After all, the Dwarven King knew that if he kept talking about this, he would be the one that suffered.

The smile on my face slowly disappeared as I revealed a serious look and said, "From now on, we'll be in a secret alliance. I hope that this will work out for us."

The Dwarven King gave a nod at first, but then he said, "Don't worry, I will never betray a friend. I hope that you will be the same."

I gave a nod before reaching my hand out to him and saying, "Of course not, I would never betray a friend as well. I hope that we will be able to keep this relationship going for a long time."

The Dwarven King took my hand and nodded in agreement when he heard this.
