"It's getting late, Father, you should get some rest."

The father nodded slightly, then picked up his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

After bowing to my father, I walked towards the door.

"that……"

"What's wrong, Father?"

I stopped and turned to face my father.

My father got up and handed me another glass of wine.

By chance, my eyes met those of my father.

It had been a long time since I had looked directly at my father. Around my fifteenth birthday, I learned from him that my biological father was my Uncle Philip.

From that moment on, I never looked my father in the eye again.

My father was very good to me, cared for me a lot, and valued me highly. Similarly, my father offered to let me acknowledge Uncle Philip as my father, but I refused because my father and mother were the ones who raised me. I knew the rules of the Bereas family. Uncle Philip could only accept defeat, and I had to do the same. I would not convert to the Church of the Millicans like my older brother and live a peaceful life as a priest in the church. I could only stay here and take on the responsibilities that a son of the Bereas family should bear.

“You’re not young anymore. I haven’t made any special arrangements for your marriage to that family’s daughter in the past, but shouldn’t you start thinking about it? I don’t want to force you to accept your parents’ arrangements like other noble families, but at least tell your father what your plans are in that regard.”

My father's eyes were still so deep, I couldn't guess what he was thinking. I felt that they were very gentle. At least as his son who had been raised for seventeen years, I could feel that my father treated me no differently than he treated my older brother, and even, he seemed to favor me more.

But I haven't done anything to live up to my father's expectations.

"I'm sorry, Father, I don't have any plans yet. However, I will find someone who can satisfy you. If you have better arrangements, I will listen to you."

I once again avoided my father's sight. As the son of the Boreas family, my marriage is a major event, but my father did not do anything to tie me to the family just because I am his son. I think he was waiting for the day when I could take the initiative to take responsibility.

"I understand. Get some rest."

My father gently placed his hand on my shoulder, patted it twice, and then left the room.

I sat down on the sofa. The wine on the table was still unfinished. I imitated my father and drank the wine in my hand in one gulp, then poured myself another glass.

“If only Iliel hadn’t been engaged to His Highness Gravel.”

I've always loved Illyr, but I can't be with her.

But that's fine too. Princess Gravel is much better than me. She must be happier with Princess Gravel than with me.

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

My subordinate entered the room and stood opposite me. He didn't look too good, probably because he had messed things up, but I had expected this outcome.

“Young Master Albert, the person you asked me to investigate has been found.”

"real!"

I was overjoyed. If I could find that bespectacled girl who called herself Brady Kander, then today's matter could be resolved smoothly!

"Bring her here quickly."

"But she has already left the capital."

"..."

I froze, suddenly considering whether to replace him with someone else.

"I understand, you can go and rest now."

"Subordinates retire."

It's unbelievable that we can't find even one person...

Well, that person who calls herself Brady Kander is also elusive in legends; even the late king couldn't find her, so I'll just assume she's real.

Immediately afterward, I downed another glass of wine, and for a moment I felt a little sleepy, a bit dizzy and lightheaded. It was about time to go to sleep.

I left the room, and I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, but I felt a little dizzy and my head was spinning.

I wonder how little Norlen is doing, and if he's sleeping well at night.

Go see her.

It felt like I had walked for a hundred years just going up and down the stairs, but I was still sure I hadn't gone the wrong way.

I knocked gently on the door, but there was no sound from inside, and I received no response.

Upon closer inspection, it appears there's still a key stuck in the doorknob.

Oh, I remember now, Norren is sleeping with Alice tonight.

It's understandable, considering how young Noren must have been terrified.

However, I always felt that Alice was a bit scarier.

Never mind, let's go back and rest.

"Albert".

A man was walking towards me. I rubbed my eyes and looked closely. He had a young middle-aged face and slightly squinted eyes. It was Uncle Philip.

After recognizing the person in front of me, I immediately bowed to him.

Good evening, Uncle.

"Hmm, are you going to sleep? I don't remember your room being here."

"Yes, Uncle. I originally wanted to come and check on little Norren's room because I was a little worried."

I scratched my head awkwardly.

"Oh, I see. It must feel good to be a prince on a white horse."

Uncle Philip usually speaks very cryptically, but he's practically making it clear now. For Noren, I was the first person he saw after being kidnapped, so I might indeed be like a prince charming.

"Uncle, what are you trying to tell me by saying this?"

"It's okay, just don't let them hold you back."

After saying that, Uncle Philip brushed past me and walked away.

Don't let Noren cling to me? Will Noren cling to me?

What is my uncle trying to tell me?

……

Roya

……

Aisha Greratter, on her seventh day of school at Roya.

……

Aisha Greratter, the daughter of the garrison commander of Roya, would surely have been bullied by all sorts of children at school if her father, Paul Greratter, were still the knight guarding the village of Buena.

But now, her father is a high-ranking knight commander in the city of Roya. Although he is only a lower-ranking knight, his position is very important. This is the case in the small ecosystem of Roya, where a person may be lowly but has great power.

In addition, Rudeus, a legendary hero, was rumored to be her brother, so Aisha was treated like a star as soon as she entered the school.

Aisha lived up to the advantages brought by her father's status and the rumors about her brother. In just seven days after enrolling, she won the recognition of her teachers and classmates. She even defeated the older students with the magic tricks she had learned, becoming the undisputed leader of the school.

From her first day of school to becoming a model student in both character and academics, as described by teachers, and a formidable leader among her classmates, Aisha accomplished both seemingly contradictory and mutually exclusive goals in just seven days.

Upon returning home, her mother, Lilia, instructed Aisha, as a maid, to serve her master well. Children born out of wedlock learn humility from a young age, and Aisha was no exception.

Since Noren left, the lady of the house, Janice, and the gentleman, Paul, have been in a state of cold war.

Aisha often appears in front of Janice as a mediator, and Janice treats Aisha the same way she treats Noren. But after all, she is not her biological daughter. When Janice thinks of this, she always hugs Aisha and cries bitterly.

As for Paul, he often came home drunk late at night. When Janice saw Paul in his drunken state, an argument was inevitable. Lilia would try to mediate and prevent the situation from escalating further, but each mediation could only temporarily ease the conflict. The real hidden dangers may have already been sown in the house.

I don't know how long this kind of life will last.

Chapter 132: Easing the Situation (Part 1)

……

Life seems to have returned to calm. Life after reconciling with Hilfi is monotonous, but not to the point of causing stomach pain. With my mental age approaching fifty, I have successfully been made to look like the younger people around me.

How do you say that?

Maintaining a youthful mindset?

Anyway, I'm currently in a young body, so there's nothing wrong with doing things that young people should do.

After getting up in the morning, I begin my daily training. I want to become a magician with the physique of a swordsman, just like Master Merlin.

Therefore, I deliberately get up earlier than usual. Based on the manga "Saitama-sensei" that I read before his death, I do 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats every morning after getting up, plus a 10-kilometer run.

As for the possibility of sacrificing my hair, I hope it won't happen to me.

Right now, I'm jogging along the city walls of Sharia with Hilfi.

Looking at the girl in front of me with her long, emerald green hair tied in a single ponytail, and her slender ears bouncing with her running steps, I always have an urge to suddenly attack her from behind and hug her.

But I had to suppress that thought. If I attacked Sylphie again, wouldn't I become a walking cannon?

Besides, someone like me, a scumbag, is simply not worthy of Sylphie.

Thinking about this, I unconsciously started to feel a churning sensation in my stomach.

"Rudy, hurry up, or you'll fall behind!"

Hilfi had fallen some distance behind me. I could only see a beautiful young lady waving at me a dozen meters away, like a sailor nearing shore who sees a girl in a kimono holding up a sign with his name on it, and he eagerly says to the people around him:

"See? I'm going to marry her someday."

I shook my head, stopping my random thoughts.

"Here we go, here we go!"

With that, I was back on the same starting line as Hilfi. After entering the school gate, we headed towards the cafeteria.

"I'm going to give Rudy a present today."

Hilfi smiled.

"Gift?"

Today is not my birthday, and I'll be celebrating my fifth, tenth, and fifteenth birthdays. There are still two years until my fifteenth birthday, so what gift will Silphi give me?

"Yes, Rudy will definitely like it."

Strands of her hair were stuck to the sides of the girl's face with sweat, and her smile was like the sun that had just risen.

"Really? I'm suddenly a little excited."

"By the way, when is Rudy free today? I want to take Rudy to see some gifts; I wonder if Rudy will like them."

When they ask me when I'm free, it doesn't seem to be anything material. So what could it be?

Today, I had a full morning of classes, learning advanced healing techniques. In the afternoon, I had a class on intermediate detoxification techniques. After class, there didn't seem to be anything else to do.

"There should be time after the first class in the afternoon."

I said, resting my chin on my hand.

"Great."

Hilfi chuckled softly, secretly clenching her fists as if in celebration of victory.

I turned my head to look at her, but she deliberately turned her face slightly away. However, her ears were twitching up and down, which was more accurate than looking at her expression directly.

"Silphie?"

"Ah, Rudy."

Oh dear, Miss Hilfiet, why is your face so red?

Looking at the pinkish hue on Silphie's delicate face, a result of recent exercise and shyness, I had an urge to reach out and rub it.

However, I still didn't do it.

Now, when I enjoy Silphie's cuteness, I always feel a pang of conscience.
