Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

【after a while】

[The Mysterious Little Room]

[Trevor's Perspective]

I rented the conference room at the hotel where I used to stay.

It's quite big, with a long table and a dozen or so chairs.

There was a pot of cold tea and several cups on the table, untouched.

Senis sat at the head of the long table.

Paul is to her left.

Paul's ears were still red, his face was covered in bruises, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had been hastily wiped away, leaving a light brown mark.

Between the two of them sat Noren on a small stool.

On the other side is Lilia.

Lilia placed her hands neatly on her knees, her eyes lowered, not looking at anyone.

The handprint on her cheek wasn't as noticeable as before.

I held Aisha in my arms and hid at the far end of the table.

Aisha nestled in my arms, her little hands clutching my clothes, her blue eyes peeking out from under my chin, warily scanning the faces of everyone around the table. She gave Senis a particularly long look, burying her face back into my chest each time before stealing another glance.

My hand rests on her back, patting her gently.

The witch sat beside me.

Then there's Keith with his shoulders hunched, Tarhand with his arms crossed and a sour expression, and Alina Lizé with a bored look on her face.

In short, the Black Wolf Fangs also arrived, except for Kyrie Il.

And Roltz was sitting near the door...

It's very close to me.

What I was thinking was, "Why is this guy here too?"

Have our two families become that close?

I don't know, maybe he and Paul have become good brothers.

I stared at the water in the cup. A little oil glistened on the surface, probably from a teapot that hadn't been properly washed. There was a thin crack on the table, stretching from in front of Senis to in front of Keith.

I looked through that crack, then looked back.

I kept forcing myself to stay focused.

I don't want to think about those complicated things.

Paul spoke, his voice low and hoarse, as if scraped from his throat.

But I didn't listen carefully.

It's nothing more than saying sorry or something, right?

First, they apologized.

I'm sorry, Senis, I'm sorry to this family, I'm sorry to the children.

Then he realized he was wrong.

Then he started making excuses, saying that he was too tired, too stressed, and too weak because Senis wasn't around.

Finally, in conclusion.

He said he would take responsibility, correct his mistakes, make amends, and spend the rest of his life atoning for his sins.

This is how most people apologize, right? Just follow this outline and do some fill-in-the-blank exercises.

That's why I couldn't be bothered to listen and let my mind wander.

I didn't expect Alina Lige to come too...

I didn't see her at first and thought she hadn't come. I didn't see her until everyone was sitting together.

Judging from her flushed face, she must have been looking for a man as soon as she arrived.

She greeted me with a smile at that time.

I awkwardly smiled and said something like, "Long time no see."

Ugh......

Whenever I see her, I'm reminded of how she took care of me when I was little.

She was one of the wet nurses who cared for her, and also the one with the smallest milk supply among them.

However, among the wet nurses, she was actually the best at taking care of herself and was very experienced. At that time, I had a good impression of her.

Until that night, she took me to pick up men...

Even after entering the small room, they kept me at a distance and watched me...

Because Paul and Senis had already started talking during that time, she was being sidelined by Paul.

To be precise, Paul completely neglected the Black Wolf Fang faction; it was practically Paul's harem...

Honestly, if any of them could sing a song, form a band, and make it into an animation, it would be pretty cool.

Even after being neglected, she remained very restrained. I have specifically counted that she only had about 20 men in a month, and she would even give them money afterwards.

If the other party has real skills, she will reward them more...

As for how she gets the money, it's because after she does this, she produces some high-quality magic stones that she can sell for money.

I can actually understand her.

Because she has some kind of curse that causes her to die if she has sex with someone at irregular intervals, and this curse cannot be cured. So what if she finds a husband? She is an immortal being, and her husband will die of old age before she gets old.

Since we can't escape all this awfulness, we might as well just enjoy it.

Despite his understanding, Trevor still couldn't accept that his old von was a guy who had a thousand men riding on ten thousand.

So at that time, all I could do was relentlessly pursue Senis.

Now, whatever decision Senis makes, no matter what she does, I will stand by Senis's side.

After all, she wasn't the one who made a mistake, nor was she the one who broke the agreement.

This was a decision made before coming here.

Senis, perhaps growing impatient, lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Then Paul stopped too. He had just said a lot, but I can't remember anything he said.

Senis did not respond further.

She propped her head up with her hands, just like Commander Ikari.

Her head was bowed very low, so her expression was not visible.

After a while, Paul spoke again.

This time he looked in our direction.

He said he hoped to be given another chance. He said he would take responsibility as a father.

"No need, I can take care of myself."

"That's Aisha..."

"No need."

I stood up and lifted Aisha from my arms.

She obediently wrapped her arms around my neck, her legs draped around my waist. I then turned her face towards everyone at the table.

"No matter what, she's my child now, and I'll take care of her from now on. Because... we made a promise, and I won't break it."

Aisha nodded vigorously.

She brought her face close to mine, hugged me, and kissed me.

Then......

Senis's lips seemed to twitch slightly.

It was very light and fast, but I think I saw it.

She lowered her head, covered her mouth with the back of her hand, and then finally spoke.

"I woke up one morning to find myself a grandma..."

......

Aisha struggled free from the king and then bowed to Senis.

"Hello, Grandma!"

Senis smiled again.

This time, there was no blocking.

His smile was somewhat helpless and tired, but there was genuine joy in his eyes.

Everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief.

Noren looked at Aisha with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

He pulled Aisha into his arms again.

She nestled against my chest, her face buried in my collar, her little hands still clutching my clothes.

I rested my chin on the top of her head, smelling the lingering scent of the lake water in her hair, and silently thanked Senis.

She is always so understanding.

Even though I lied to her, she still didn't say anything to me. She didn't ask me why I kept it from her, why I hid Aisha, or why I didn't tell her about Paul's affair.

She simply accepted it.

But I don't actually like it this way.

I actually wish Senis would just speak out her grievances, vent her frustrations, and let it all out.

I hope she'll give Paul and me a good beating.

I'd rather she beat me up than watch her swallow everything and digest it all by herself.

There's still more tonight, past midnight; I got really into writing the outline today.

The detailed outline alone was 6000 words long, and I wrote until 11 o'clock.

So today's story wasn't finished yet; there's a big one in the next chapter.
