Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1034: Coming clean
Chapter 1034: Coming clean
This might seem like the end of the discussion, but there was something else that I wanted to bring up.
After all, after everything that had happened, it could be said that I had the trust of these
three who were at the top of this tribe.
Since I had their trust, that meant that I should be able to come clean.
"Actually, there's something else that I want to discuss with the three of you." I suddenly spoke up.
The three of them looked at me with confused looks, but they didn't say anything as they waited to see what I had to say.
"There's something that I have to confess."
All three of them looked even more confused when they heard this and there was even a trace of wariness that appeared in their eyes.
"Other than coming to sell you things, I've come here for something else. I am the new king of the human kingdom that borders this Land of Giants." I said in a calm voice, even though the words that I said were shocking.
As expected, all three of them immediately knitted their brows after hearing this.
But then, olos and Olmir both narrowed their eyes to look at me.
The way that they looked at me was as if they were scrutinizing me, as if they were trying to see through me.
It was only Alidus who looked at me in a daze as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
The way that he looked at me was as if he was a puppy that had just been lied to.
After a long silence, Olos finally said, "You must have a reason for admitting this now, right?"
I gave a calm nod before saying, "I want to meet with all of the giant tribes that are near the border with the human kingdom, the former Vikal Kingdom."
I said human kingdom first since I didn't think they would care about the name of that place enough to remember it and as expected, they didn't react to the name of the Vikal Kingdom at all.
It seemed that they only knew it as the lands of the humans.
Alidus suddenly burst in by saying, "We trusted you and you repay our trust with this?"
His voice seemed like he felt like he had been completely betrayed.
Before I could say anything, Olos suddenly said, "This isn't that."
The way that he said this was as if he was defending me even though it did sound like I had ulterior motives.
After speaking up for me, Olos turned back to look at me as he said, "If he wanted to hurt us, he wouldn't have done things like this. He has no reason to say any of this, the only reason that he did is because he sincerely wishes to cooperate with us."
Alidus didn't say anything, but the look on his face made it seem like he didn't believe this. Olos didn't mind as he continued by saying, "Only, just how far do you want to go?"
"I want to befriend the giant tribes by the border. I know that it's impossible to convince the entire giant race, I just want to open up trade deals between our races so we can start communicating. At the very least, I want to make it so we don't have to fight or worry about each other." I said with full sincerity.
Olos didn't say anything as he turned to look at Olmir.
Olmir had been silent the entire time since he left this matter to Olos, but seeing Olos look over, he gave a slight nod as if he was showing his approval.
At that, Olos said, "We can bring you to the market, but you'll have to talk to them yourself. We won't be able to help you in any way when it comes to the other giant tribes."
This was what I already expected, so I gave a simple nod in response.
Then to my surprise, Olos suddenly revealed a smile before saying, "You already know quite a bit about us giants, don't you? You knew about the market, which is why you came as a merchant. You also knew that we don't have a single ruler among us and are split in tribes, which is why you targeted the market."
The way that he said this was as if he was implying something. freewebnøvel.coɱ
I looked right at him before nodding with a smile and saying, "That's right, I do know quite a bit about giants, but it isn't in the way that you might think. I just want us to respect each other and the only way to do that is to learn more about each other. Only if we understand each other can we fully respect each other."
Once again, I said this with full sincerity.
That was the only thing that I could do in this situation.
Olos and Olmir didn't say a thing as they looked at me in silence.
There were expressionless looks on their faces as if they were judging me.
But eventually, both of them suddenly revealed smiles and nodded in agreement.
Olmir then added, "This is something that we learned a long time ago, but it's rare to find humans like you in human society. Let alone those with actual power."
Olos nodded as he said, "Humans that are in power always seem to let that power go to their heads, but you seem different."
I just gave a shrug before saying, "Who knows, I just obtained this power. Perhaps I'll let it go to my head in the future."
The two of them didn't say anything as they just looked at me for a bit, but then they suddenly broke out in laughter as if they had heard a funny joke.
I laughed along with the two of them without a single care.
The only one that wasn't in the same mood as the rest of us was Alidus who stood on the side with a bitter look on his face.
