Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

Neither of them objected; rather, they thought it was quite normal.

Since both of them have already agreed...

"Alice."

"What, what's wrong?"

"Although it may seem abrupt, would you be willing to be with me?"

"..."

"Would you be willing to be my third wife?"

I asked this.

"Of course I'd be willing!"

Alice said somewhat awkwardly.

"In short, all I need is to be able to wield the sword for Rudy."

Alice made this announcement.

Oh dear.

That was quite a powerful speech.

It was less of an agreement to a marriage proposal and more of a declaration of loyalty.

At this time.

Hilfi stood up.

"Miss Alice."

She took Alice's hand.

"Thank you for everything you've done for Rudy. From now on... let's live in harmony."

"Ok!"

Alice pursed her lips and nodded emphatically.

Luo Qixi, who was standing to the side, also smiled.

……

that's it.

A red-haired female swordsman has joined my household.

then.

We've booked a wedding for three people.

It turned into a wedding for four people.

Hopefully, Paul and the others won't be scared to death when they arrive.

……

While I was chatting with my three wives.

Ariel woke up.

She walked down the stairs.

Seeing this, Hilfi quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"Your Highness, you would be better off getting some rest..."

"It's alright, Silphie. Thanks to Mr. Tordius, I can still stand here."

A rare, bitter smile appeared on Ariel's face.

Followed by.

She bowed slightly to me.

"Mr. Rudius, thank you for saving my life."

"..."

"Based on my estimation, the other party is very likely someone sent by the First Prince from the capital."

Ariel said helplessly.

"They probably saw Mr. Rudeus as a potential obstacle, so they sent someone to assassinate him."

That's what Ariel thought.

but……

In my opinion, the situation is different.

Since it's an apostle of a god interfering, it must be a conspiracy against me.

Both Luke and the water god were manipulated by the gods and humans.

But having said that.

There is no doubt that Luke threatened the safety of my family.

"Then, the favors we owed each other before are wiped clean."

"It's natural."

I turned to look at Sylphie.

"Sylphy..."

"Yes."

"Well... how should I put it? I don't want to force you, but given what has happened, do you still intend to continue serving as a guard?"

Let's ask first.

After I said that.

Hilfi looked troubled.

"I……"

"It's alright, Silphie."

Ariel spoke up at that moment.

Even without you by my side, I will persevere and do what you want to do.

"but!"

Hilfi suddenly raised her voice.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

“The Notos family betrayed the princess, and now… even Luke has… If I leave now, won’t the princess be all alone?”

"..."

Ariel had no answer to this.

indeed.

As Hilfi said.

Notos has been lost.

Luke has been lost.

Now, only Sylphie is left by her side.

If even Sylphie...

Then she can announce that she has abdicated the throne.

I know very well how much Silphi values ​​me, but in this situation, I simply cannot make a choice.

Whatever.

I sighed.

“Sylphie, there’s no need to overthink it. I don’t intend to force you to give up Ariel.”

"Eh? But..."

Sylphie and Ariel were both stunned.

"Let's remember this as a favor."

"...I see. Then let it be as you say."

Ariel said with a smile.

Hilfi pursed her lips.

She walked up to me, a conflicted look on her face.

"Rudy... I'm sorry, but if I abandon the princess now..."

"It's okay, I'll support whatever Hilfi wants to do!"

"Rudy..."

Tears welled up in Hilfi's eyes.

She suddenly pounced on me and pulled me into her arms.

"I'm sorry, Rudy..."

"what……"

I put my arm around Silphie's back and smiled as always.

……

that's it.

Hilfi continued to serve as Ariel's bodyguard.
