Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 13 is integrated into Paul's family, but Rudy has strong objections.

After a long while, seeing that Allen had not made a move, Paul finally spoke carefully.

"Allen, um, I received this letter last year. I know this might be hard for you to accept, but your father really is."

"I know James is not my biological father."

Paul was taken aback and looked at Allen, who had a calm expression.

"That's wonderful! I'll write to Philip right away and tell him I've found you, so you can return to Roya."

"It won't work."

Paul looked at Allen in surprise, and Allen returned his smile.

"Uncle, please sit down and listen to me."

After saying that, Allen pressed Paul down into a chair, then turned around to get the chair by the door. Paul blinked, looking at him with a somewhat blank expression.

"First of all, the information about the disappearance is correct, but my 'biological father' has concealed the preceding events."

Allen walked to the door, reached out and touched the top of the chair back; the wood grain gave his hand a rough, gritty feel.

"I was assassinated as I passed the upper jaw of the red dragon."

Paul jumped to his feet.

Allen then lifted the chair and turned to face Paul.

"The assassination was something I deliberately arranged because I had long realized that I was not James's biological son. By deducing the gestation period from my siblings' birthdays, I concluded that I shouldn't exist in the Boreas family in the capital. There was another younger brother in the same situation, but he died of illness when he was five years old. Until the end of last year, I secretly found a gang of thieves and staged a play to escape from the Boreas family and come to the territory of Fetoa."

Paul let out a long sigh and sat down again. He had been misled by Allen and subconsciously thought that this choice was to return to his biological father.

Allen walked toward Paul, his eyes narrowing.

"But the assassination went awry. The actual number of assassins was different from the number I had secretly commissioned the thieves to do. I had expected five mid-level swordsmen, to just get it over with and then go their separate ways, ending with me falling off a cliff and disappearing. But what ended up in front of me were eight highly skilled swordsmen. If I'm not mistaken, among them were two high-level swordsmen of the Water God School, and a magician."

"They went all out."

Paul jumped up again.

Allen had walked up to Paul, looked at him, and smiled indifferently.

"And so, they died."

Paul let out a long sigh and sat down again.

Allen sat down and looked at him.

"Later, I sneaked into the forest from the upper jaw of the Red Dragon. First, I faked my northward journey, and then spent more than four months traveling around before finally arriving at the village of Buena. I had heard about Uncle Paul's 'heroic deeds' in the capital, and I figured you weren't exactly friendly to the sons of nobles. Besides, Buena is a relatively remote village, suitable for hiding my tracks, so I came to seek refuge with you. However, I only learned of the subsequent news of my disappearance today. It seems James must think I have successfully escaped the Kingdom of Asura, hence the spread of this news."

Paul blinked.

"Heroic deeds? Oh? I didn't know I had a legend in the capital."

Allen spoke extremely fast, uttering more than a dozen words in an instant.

"After graduating from a prestigious school at the age of ten and engaging in promiscuous relationships with various women, the victim came to his door with his father."

"stop!"

Paul immediately stood up and covered Allen's mouth, but Allen smiled and pulled Paul's hand away.

"I judged that the thieves betrayed me to James, and James had always been wary of Philip, so he deduced that I was going to sneak back to help him. Therefore, he pretended to kill me to eliminate future troubles."

Paul's embarrassed face instantly turned serious. He realized that Allen had not referred to either James or Philip as his father. After repeatedly opening and closing his mouth, he thought of the scene of leaving after arguing with his father and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Her apparent biological father wanted to assassinate her, while she had never met her actual biological father. Therefore, she felt no sense of familial identification with either of them…

"Then you could secretly return to Roya City, change your name, and only acknowledge Philip as your confidant."

"no."

"Firstly, Sauros has a deep grip on the territory of Fetoia. He will definitely notice this and will not approve of my actions. There is a very high chance that he will follow the tradition of Boreas and send me back to James's side. At that time, my situation in the capital will be even more dangerous."

"Secondly, James must have planted spies in Roya to secretly monitor Philip."

After saying that, Allen lowered his head and spoke sincerely to Paul.

"So I beg Uncle Paul to take me in. In return, I can promise to protect Rudy's future, because Uncle can't always be with him. But we are close in age, so we can probably become friends in the future."

Paul looked at the letter that had been placed back on the table, and after a moment he could only nod.

Allen added.

"After the storm has passed in two years, and my physical appearance has matured a bit, I'll shave my eyebrows to make them look kinder, and then change to a gloomy hairstyle with bangs. Even if someone who has seen me before stands in front of me, they probably won't recognize me."

Unlike the information age before my transmigration, this world has its advantages in terms of information stagnation. Moreover, there are very few magical artifacts that can preserve one's image. Even a fierce god like Rijkaard can enter the city by changing his hair color. Furthermore, two years is more than enough time for me to learn from Paul and at least reach the upper level of the third-class swordsmanship.

"Of course, James, who watched me grow up, and my family in the capital should recognize me, but I should be fine as long as I avoid running into them."

Paul glanced at Allen and sighed inwardly. He had a feeling that Philip would recognize him, but he didn't say anything to refute Allen.

"That's true. And by then, your strength will definitely increase further. I'm afraid that apart from a very few Sword Kings and Sword Emperors, no one will be able to pose a threat to your life. And your current official statement is just 'missing.' Even if they recognize you, they can only send people to assassinate you. They can't openly break ties with you. That's how the nobles of the Asura Kingdom are."

Allen nodded.

"Yes."

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door. Paul and Elo fell silent at the same time, and then there were three knocks on the door.

Lilia opened the door and peeked in, first scrutinizing Allen from head to toe before speaking.

"Master, dinner is ready. Come and eat."

-

Sure enough, Senis's skill level was proportional to her size.

great.

Allen looked at the steaming soup and rice on the table, as well as the pizza-like pasta dishes, with a pot of stewed meat in the middle emitting a rich aroma.

Rudius sat directly opposite Allen, scrutinizing him through the rising steam.

Allen smiled subconsciously.

Rudy immediately closed his eyes and turned his head.

Allen's lips twitched.

At this moment, Paul tapped the table with his fingers and cleared his throat.

"Alright, through the interview just now, I have confirmed that Allen has the ability to instruct Rudeus, so there is no need for a trial period. From now on, he will be Rudeus's swordsmanship teacher. Please treat him like family. Do not underestimate his role in the family because of my swordsmanship level."

Lilia, who was serving by his side, was the first to applaud. Although she also thought it was unnecessary to hire another swordsmanship teacher, as the daughter of the former head of the swordsmanship dojo, she had no objection to Allen's Water God Style performance. With his abilities, he could easily serve as a guard in the palace, and a high-ranking one at that.

Senis, on the other hand, clasped her hands together in front of her face and smiled warmly.

"Since the head of the family has already made up his mind, I naturally welcome Allen. I'm sure Lilia won't look down on this teacher just because of his age."

After saying that, she didn't stop, she reached out and scooped out the rice and placed it in front of Allen.

Paul then put his arm around his shoulder and introduced Allen to the three of them with a big smile, praising him highly.

Senis nodded to him frequently, giving him a kind smile.

This is completely different from the cold and indifferent daily life of so-called relatives in the royal capital.

Having never experienced the warmth of family in either of his lives, Allen felt a little uncomfortable under everyone's gaze. He subconsciously lowered his head as the aroma of food wafted towards him.

The heat, mixed with wisps of smoke, rose up on his face.
