Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1446: Guarded
The same high elf from before was the one that led us to the manor that they had prepared for us.
They didn't let us stay in the castle, but the excuse that they gave us was that they were certain that we would want some privacy.
That was why they had prepared the manor for us instead.
However, it was clear that they just didn't want us anywhere near the manor.
At the same time, when we arrived at the manor, it was clear that they didn't want us going anywhere without them knowing.
After all, there were many guards that were standing outside of the manor. At the same time, Aisha was even able to find that there were many guards that were hiding in the area around the manor watching over it.
It was so heavily guarded that it felt like it was a prison rather than a place for visitors.
But the high elf said, "We were worried that something might happen to your majesty, so we've spared no expense in securing this location. As long as you remain inside the manor, you won't encounter any problems at all."
In other words…
"Don't leave this manor."
That was basically what she was saying, but she was saying it in a way that sounded nice.
It really seemed like the elves didn't want us wandering around in their capital without them accompanying us.
This was different from the way that they had acted inside of the banquet hall, but this was more of the normal reaction that should have been expected. This was the kind of reaction that would make more sense.
It was the way that they had acted in the banquet hall that had been strange.
"Are they just trying to get us to let our guards down?" I asked Aisha.
She looked back at me with a strange look before slowly shaking her head and saying, "I really don't know. I've never actually seen them acting like that before, so it certainly is a first for me."
I raised a brow when I heard this, but I didn't ask anything else after that.
After arriving at the manor, we found that it was just like the castle.
This place was excessively decorated with luxurious things.
It was clear that this place wasn't a place that was built just to watch over and protect the Tree of Life. This was a place that was built for the enjoyment of the one that built this.
"Are all the elves like this?" I couldn't help asking Aisha after seeing the inside of this manor.

Aisha shook her head before saying, "They weren't this bad before…"
I didn't say anything else since I understood what she was implying.
Did that mean that the elves really had been corrupted by whatever was inside of the ruins?
After all, I had never seen anything like this in the game.
After we had been settled inside of the manor, the high elf finally left.
But that didn't mean that we were left alone.
The Elven King had actually arranged elves to come and serve us as maids.
This was the last thing that I had expected from the elves since they didn't believe in things like this. In the elven village, I had to take care of everything for myself which wasn't really a problem for me who had never grown up as a noble.
But now…it seemed that these elves were here to serve us.
At the same time, it was clear that these elves had been trained for this.
One would never imagine that elves that cared about freedom would actually debase themselves to serve another.
It was one thing for them to serve the Elven King, but to be trained to even serve a human…
It was clear that this wasn't normal.
But when I tried to talk to these elven maids, it seemed like they didn't have anything to say.
It wasn't that they were ignoring me, it was just that they seemed too scared to say anything.
This was the kind of fear that wouldn't be present unless it was trained in them.
The more that I saw, the more that I felt that there was something wrong with this Elven Kingdom. The more that it seemed that there was something that was corrupting the Elven Kingdom that hadn't been in the game before.
The only thing that was possible was the corruption energy.
I had seen the way that those that had been corrupted with the corruption energy changed.
So did that mean that even the Elven King had been corrupted?
If he hadn't, then there was no way that he would allow something like this to happen in the Elven Kingdom.
"I just saw one of the maids pass something to the guards." Klein reported when he came into the room. He made sure to come close to me and even leaned in when he reported this, making sure that no one would hear him.
I wasn't surprised by this since I had already been expecting this.
From the moment that we arrived at this manor, it had already been made clear that they had been watching over us. They were guarded against us, not wanting us to do anything on our own.
The problem was that we had to sneak out to find those ruins still.
In a situation like this, I still had a way to sneak out if I wanted to.
It was just that I wouldn't be able to take Aisha with me if I did and it was important for me to take her with me since she was the only one that actually knew where the ruins were.
I needed her to guide my way.
"Are you sure that you'll be alright?" I asked Aisha in a concerned voice.
"Don't worry, just wait for me tonight and I'll bring you out." She said in a confident voice, but I still couldn't help holding some doubts.
