Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

Lilia was originally a palace guard in the harem of the Kingdom of Asura.

The so-called imperial guard maids refer to maids who normally perform the duties of maids, but can also take up swords and fight in times of crisis.

Lilia's work as a maid was impeccable, but as a swordsman, she only possessed the skills of an ordinary swordsman.

Therefore, when an assassin attempted to kill the newborn princess, she was injured in the foot by the assassin's dagger.

The short sword was coated with a poison specifically used to assassinate royalty.

It was the kind of troublesome poison for which there was no antidote magic available for treatment.

So, although the wound on her foot was immediately healed by healing magic and the doctor tried to detoxify her, thus saving her life, she was ultimately left with aftereffects.

Lilia's career as a swordswoman has come to an end.

Because she can no longer run at full speed or take quick strides.

The royal palace dismissed her without hesitation.

Lilia could understand.

Being laid off is only natural if one loses the ability to work.

Lilia thought it was lucky that she, whose family background was not good, was able to work in the harem.

But now it seems that maybe they just wanted to hire maids they could discard at will.

Although she didn't even receive her remaining wages, she was already very lucky that she wasn't silenced for having worked in the harem.

The mastermind behind the assassination of the princess has not yet been found, and Lilia, who is familiar with the structure of the harem, may become the opponent's breakthrough point.

Perhaps the reason she wasn't silenced by the royal palace was because they planned to use Lilia as bait to lure out the mastermind behind it all.

Lilia had no reason to become bait; she had neither received any orders nor owed any favors.

For her own safety, Lilia must get away from the capital as soon as possible.

So Lilia took several public carriages before finally arriving in the territory of Fituia.

This is a border region with vast agricultural land, a leisurely area where wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see compared to the royal palace.

This place was quite a distance from the palace, and Lilia felt that if someone wanted to kill her, she wouldn't have a chance to get here.

In other words, the fact that we've come this far speaks volumes.

So Lilia decided to look for a job here.

Although he has a foot injury that prevents him from engaging in work that requires violence.

They might be able to teach swordsmanship, but compared to using or teaching swordsmanship, maids who have received perfect domestic training are clearly much rarer talents in this border region.

Therefore, they have relatively higher salaries.

Unfortunately, Lilia was unable to seek employment in the fortress city where Lord Fituia resided, because the upper-class nobles all maintained connections with the royal palace.

If the employer knew that Lilia was originally a maid in the harem and was involved in the assassination attempt, he might be used as a political pawn.

Having finally escaped, Lilia didn't want to experience that again.

The fear of death had overwhelmed everything; Lilia did not want to die in the struggle for the royal succession.

I just want to stay far away from them and let them do whatever they want.

However, having left the aristocracy, the salary was too low, making it impossible to send money home.

So, in order to balance the two conditions of salary and security, it took Lily a whole month to find a satisfactory job.

In the village of Buena in the Fituia region, a low-ranking knight is recruiting maids.

Buena Village is located on the edge of the Fitoa region, on the very edge of the Fitoa border, and can be described as a small village in the countryside.

Although it's an inconvenient place, this inconvenience actually brings excellent security.

The job posting specified that priority would be given to people with experience in childcare and midwifery knowledge, and Lilia fit the bill perfectly. Moreover, the job's pay was so good that it was hard to believe the employer was just a low-ranking knight.

Of course, such good conditions are not necessarily a good thing; it's also not good if you get scammed.

The most important point here is that Lilia remembers her employer's name.

Paul Greirat.

This person is Lilia's junior brother.

He was a spoiled brat from a noble family. After arguing with his father, he ran away from home and joined Lilia's swordsmanship dojo. He quickly surpassed Lilia in swordsmanship.

Then one day, the talented Paul caused another problem, and in a panic, he left the monastery.

He left Lilia with only the words "I want to become an adventurer," and was a man as turbulent as a storm.

That happened almost seven years ago.

In Lilia's memory, Paul was not a good person, but he was definitely not a bad person either.

If you tell the other person that you are in trouble, they should be able to help you.

If she is rejected, Lilia has past experiences that she can use as bargaining chips.

So, Lilia, having made preparations, headed to Buena Village.

Paul readily hired her.

Firstly, because his wife Senis was about to give birth, he urgently needed to find help.

Furthermore, because Lilia worked in the harem, all the knowledge and skills she learned naturally corresponded to the birth and upbringing of royalty and nobility, making her arguably the most outstanding talent in the world in this field.

Last but not least, the two already knew each other and were very familiar with each other's personalities and backgrounds.

This foundation of trust itself represents a guarantee of security.

Therefore, Lilia's arrival was welcomed, and she received more salary than originally planned.

……

The child was born successfully; he was the reincarnation of the young man and was named Rudius Greratter.

There were no complications or other accidents during childbirth. The delivery process was the same as the training she had done in the palace, and it went very smoothly.

However, the baby was born with a bluish complexion and did not cry.

This gave Lilia a fright.

The baby's appearance was reminiscent of a stillborn infant.

The examination revealed a pulse and breathing, and the animal responded when Paul touched it.

But he just looked over expressionlessly and let out a short cry.

Lilia recalled the words her senior, a royal guard, had once said.

It is said that babies who do not cry immediately after birth usually have something wrong with them.

Just as she was wondering if the baby might be mute...

Wow~

Rudius looked at Senis and called out.

Hearing the sound, Lilya felt relieved. Although she still didn't cry, since she could make a sound, she was probably alright.

Senis thought Rudeus was calling her "Mom," and of course, a baby's cry sounds very similar to a mother's. Lilia thought that Senis was just overthinking it.

How can a newborn baby call out?

Senis approached Rudeus with a touched expression, but the next moment, Rudeus suddenly cried out.

Lilia was completely relieved, but soon she broke out in a cold sweat again.

Rudius's cries were unlike those of ordinary babies.

It wasn't the kind of crying that was regular, rhythmic, or simply a signal.

Instead, it was an irregular, intermittent cry filled with immense sorrow.

Senis, who had just been smiling, burst into tears almost immediately upon hearing the crying, while Paul, standing beside her, appeared at a loss for what to do.

Lilia went over to check and found that the diaper did not need to be changed, and the baby refused to drink milk when she tried to breastfeed.

Rudeus had tried every possible means, but he still didn't stop crying, as if he was going to cry himself to death.

Senis could only hold Rudeus and gently rock him to comfort him until he stopped crying as if he had suddenly lost power.

Finally, a weary Senis held Rudeus tightly in her arms, who was still sobbing softly. As if worried that Rudeus would hurt himself by crying, she began to chant.

"Divine power is a sweet sustenance, granting strength to those who have lost their strength to rise again—healing."
