Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1135: Tense relations



There was nothing that happened after that.

One might have thought that the situation would have exploded after the provocation from

Haley, but it seemed like Isra understood the situation and didn't push it.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Instead, she backed down and went back to help her parents with the banquet.

It was almost as if she had given up...

"She won't give up."

I was surprised to hear Alidus say this.

But I was feeling more bitter because he had said this while Haley was still by my side.

The moment that he said this, I could feel the grip tightening around my arm.

It seemed that it only served to make her even more jealous.

I didn't say anything as I just waited for her to let go of my arm and allow me to head to the banquet that had been prepared.

But before that, we made sure to drop off the wolf cubs since it wasn't as if we could bring them with us to the banquet.

After making sure that the wolf cubs were settled, we headed off to the banquet that had been prepared.

There were many different dishes that were placed out, which showed how welcoming the giants were to us.

At the head of the table was Olos who represented the Harakka Tribe and Isra's father who represented the Vale Tribe. Beside them was an empty seat that seemed to be left for someone else.

There was no need to guess who that seat was for.

It was clearly for me who represented the humans that were here.

The others that had been helping out were already sitting in their places and they were all looking at me as if they were waiting for me to sit down as well.

But it was awkward for me because of what happened just now.

If it wasn't for the appearance of the Vale Tribe, I wouldn't have felt this awkward.

But since they were here...

Still, it wasn't as if I could just now sit down since they were all waiting for me. Even the giants were looking at me as if they were waiting for me to sit down.

The only thing that I could do was walk over to where the two chiefs of the tribes were waiting and sit down with them. Though Haley also came with me and sat down beside me.

It didn't seem like they minded at first until...

Isra came over with her mother and sat down beside her father.

After sitting down, Isra's mother leaned in and whispered something to her father before the two of them looked at Haley and me. The way that they looked at us was almost as if they were sizing us up.

I didn't even need to think about it to know what they were thinking about.

Olos seemed a bit confused when he saw this, but then he also figured out what happened. Though part of that was because Alidus came over to his side and whispered a few things. There was an awkward tension that filled the air as we all sat there in silence.

Finally, Isra's father was the one that broke the silence to everyone's surprise.

To their further surprise, Isra's father said to me, "Why don't you introduce this lovely lady to us?"

I was completely caught off guard by this question.

It was already clear that he knew who Haley was based on what had been whispered between them, so there was no reason he should have been asking this question. But still, he asked this question right to my face and in front of his daughter.

It really seemed like an insensitive thing to do...

But to my surprise, it didn't seem like anyone minded this.

It even seemed like they were waiting for me to speak.

Though in Olos and Alidus' case, it seemed like they were more about having fun at my expense than actually caring about how this turned out.

I really wanted to say something to them.

After all, if this turned out bad, then that meant that even the good relationship that they had with the Vale Tribe would be destroyed. This certainly wasn't something that could be taken

lightly.

Yet...they looked like they were having fun...

With an internal sigh, I said, "This is my third wife, Haley."

This time, I introduced her as my third wife and not just my wife. I wanted to make sure that they knew everything so that things could be laid out on the table and there would be no further misunderstandings.

To my surprise, Isra's father just gave a simple nod before turning to Haley to say, "I've heard that you're the one that is in charge of finances for your human kingdom. That means that in the future, you're the one we'll be trading with?"

Haley gave a simple nod since she didn't know what he meant by this, but she didn't want to offend him either.

Even though she had experience dealing with all kinds of people, these giants were different from the kind of people that she dealt with. She didn't know enough about them to know what to make of this.

After seeing her nod, Isra's father continued by saying with a smile, "Then we'll have to ask you to take care of us in the future. We'll have plenty of things that we'll want from your

human kingdom."

Haley had a slightly confused look as she gave another simple nod.

I had the same confused look on my face as I turned to look at Alidus.

He didn't seem like he wanted to explain at first, but then he eventually leaned in and said, "Did you think that we hold grudges that easily? Especially when we know the truth of the matter? It's not your fault in the first place, so why would they hold a grudge against you? They're just trying to look out for their daughter."

I was a bit surprised to hear this, but not as surprised as I was by what Isra's father said next.
