Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"..."

Lilith's voice was like a silver bell, and I slowly closed my eyes.

Her fingertips gently traced my chest, bringing a slight tickle.

I didn't say anything. My mind was in turmoil. Because of the marriage contract, no matter what I had done with other women before the marriage, only Alice could be my legal wife. I didn't know how I would take responsibility for Lilith if she really got pregnant with my child. Lilith was also a noblewoman, and a high-ranking one at that. She would definitely not be willing to be a concubine without a title.

Secondly, there's Sylphie. Sylphie and I can't be together, but how would she feel if she found out that I got another woman pregnant?

Perhaps Lilith wanted to see me like this. That makes sense; from the moment I met her, I was already caught in her trap. It's a classic case of using beauty to seduce someone…

Prince Halfas...

I still remember what Lala said: it's useless to tie yourself to Prince Halphas. And Lilith in front of me, I feel like I've already seen her future. So all I can do now is try my best not to become her sacrificial offering.

During a break from making love with Lilith, I pondered something: what was the purpose of Prince Halphas behind Lilith?

Generally speaking, what do the bosses in stories send their subordinates to do?

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Lilith wouldn't throw herself at someone like me for no reason.

When trust is lacking between people, they will not hesitate to treat each other with the worst intentions. Even though we are partners now, I cannot fully trust her.

I was thinking that she helped me heal my arm and gave me a feeling of no longer being a virgin, something I had never experienced in my decades of life. She was also very good to me, but she was so good to me that I even started to have feelings for her, but it didn't feel natural.

After going through so much, I was forced to calm myself down and think about Lilith's purpose in approaching me.

I had a bad feeling that she might be after my engagement to Alice.

Alice mentioned in her letter that she is now a junior officer in the Royal Guard in the capital, but only Philip could send her to the capital.

By the time I return to the Kingdom of Asura, Philip will likely possess at least the strength of Gilead and Alice...

I suddenly had a bold guess...

Philip wanted to gather his forces and then seize the Boreas family.

Iris and I may both be pawns of Philip, so perhaps Lilith was sent by Halfas to interfere with Philip's plans in order to stop him.

I have no evidence right now, nor do I know the stakes between Philip and Halfas, but based on my performance in La Noah and those rumors, Philip might be grinning from ear to ear right now.

I can only try to find a way to mediate between them.

……

"Lord Rudeus, have you thought it through? How do you plan to take responsibility?"

Lilith lay on top of me, gently breathing cool air into my ear.

I stroked her silky hair and said, "How do you plan to make me take responsibility?"

Let's just keep playing along with Lilith's actions for now, and then make further plans when she finally reveals her true intentions.

"Then, let's take responsibility for it this way."

She lifted my cheeks and kissed me again.

……

Student Union Room

……

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

Sylphie hummed a cheerful tune as she worked on her documents, while Linia and Prusena sat on the other side, observing her like children watching their parents at work.

"Do you do this every day, meow? Lady Sylphie?"

"It feels so boring, but Lady Sylphie seems to be very motivated."

"Perhaps it has something to do with Lord Rudeus, meow."

……

The two chattered away, one sentence after another. Mugore, who had just entered, glared at them but didn't dare to say anything. Then his gaze turned to Sylphie, who was working on the side. Whenever Sylphie noticed him, he would quickly turn his head away.

Hilfi smiled gently, then lowered her head to continue with her own business.

Mulgore put his hand inside his bra, as if fiddling with something. He swallowed repeatedly, his eyes constantly observing the movements of Linia, Rupsena, and Sylphie.

"Silphie, could... could... could you please wait for me outside for a moment..."

Hilfi looked up and blinked, slightly puzzled.

"now?"

"Um...um, yes, is...okay...is it okay..."

Mulgore touched his nose and stammered.

"Ah, okay."

Hilfi readily agreed and got up to leave the student council room.

"Hehe, this is going to be interesting, meow."

"What a poor child."

Linia and Prusena grinned mischievously, as if they already knew what was about to happen.

Mulgore slowly took out a delicate little box from his bodice, carefully opened it, and inside was a small object that flashed with a dazzling white light. He stared at the little thing, then slowly closed the lid, took out a small piece of paper, looked at it for a moment, and then put both items away.

He stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, then exhaled, then inhaled again, then exhaled again, as if a long time had passed. He finally regulated his breathing, and clenched his fists tightly. He had been preparing for this moment for four or five days.

He closed his eyes, gently pushed open the door, and took the first step in his plan.

Hilfi, with her hands behind her back, approached Mulgore and said, "Alright, what's up, Mulgore?"

"Um...I...I want to..."

Things didn't go as smoothly as he imagined. Mulgore was like a teapot spilling dumplings, completely at a loss for how to express what he wanted to say.

"I...I...I..."

"Ah, Ms. Luo Qixi!"

Seeing Silphie waving in the direction behind Mulgore, Mulgore looked in the direction she was facing and saw a petite and lovely figure standing in the corridor, waving in the same direction. Upon closer inspection, Mulgore recognized her as Teacher Loki.

"Excuse me, Mogore, I have made plans to have dinner with Professor Luo Qixi, so please excuse me."

Without waiting for Mulgore's response, Silphie skipped and hopped toward Loki.

"Oh, okay..."

Watching the two girls gradually disappear into the depths of the corridor, Mugolei slowly pushed open the door to the student council room.

Chapter 140: Side Story (Part 1) - Thoughts

……

"Can you catch me, Violet?"

"Sister, please help me! Stop Prince Halphas!"

"Don't run away, Your Highness!"

In the Silver Capital, in the courtyard of the Empress's palace, three five-year-old children are chasing each other, including two girls and one boy.

The two girls had delicate features and were strikingly similar. If it weren't for the fact that one had shoulder-length short hair and the other had waist-length hair, it would be impossible to tell them apart.

"oops!"

Suddenly, the short-haired girl fell to the ground just as she was about to catch up with the boy, and the boy quickly ran over to help her up.

"Are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright," the short-haired girl said, grabbing the boy's arm as she stood up. She gently patted her skirt to clean off the grass clinging to her clothes. "Thank you, Your Highness. I was too careless and made you worry."

After saying that, she picked up the hem of her skirt and bowed to the boy.

"Sister is too careless; it's really embarrassing," the long-haired girl pouted, crossed her arms, and said in a cold tone.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I was running too fast and that's why Lilith fell."

Seeing that the long-haired girl was about to blame him, the boy scratched his head with a wry smile and took the blame upon himself.

“Your Highness Halfas is so gentle.” Lilith’s fair face flushed with shyness, and she silently put her hands behind her back.

"It's clearly my sister's fault~ She's always so careless. She tripped and fell today, and she got hurt tomorrow. She's so unreliable."

Violet, though sharp-tongued, knelt down and gently patted away the stray blades of grass that had fallen onto Lilith's skirt, stroking Lilith's legs where they had just touched the ground, and asked:

"Does it hurt?"

Lilith gently shook her head, a smile appearing on her fair face. "Mmm, it doesn't hurt. Thank you, Violet."

"Why are you being so distant with your own sister?"

Violet muttered somewhat unhappily.

"Did you hear anything?"

Lilith suddenly tilted her ear and said.

Halfas stroked his chin and asked:

Is there any sound?

"It sounds like a cat meowing, like a 'meow meow meow' sound."

As she spoke, Lilith walked towards the direction of the sound. Halphas scratched his head in confusion and said to Violet beside him:

"How could there be a cat? Lilith must have misheard."

“Violet, Your Highness Halfas, look, there’s a cat here.”

Lilith crouched down by the bushes, and Violet and Halphas leaned over. A tabby kitten that looked a few months old was lying in the shade, breathing very weakly, as if it was about to die.

"Wow...it really is there!" Halfas exclaimed in surprise when he saw the kitten.

In the heavily guarded Silver Palace, Halphas had grown up surrounded by all sorts of precious pets, including dogs and cats worth hundreds of Asura gold coins. Even a single fallen dog or cat hair exuded an aristocratic air. But seeing a stray cat in the courtyard in this way was a first for Halphas.

"How pitiful."

Lilith picked up the kitten, held it in her arms, and gently stroked its head. Her dress, which she had just patted clean, was now stained with even dirtier mud.

Violet looked at the dirty, half-dead kitten and turned pale with fright. But because she didn't want anyone to know she was scared, she pointed at the kitten in Lilith's arms and cried out.

"Sister, put it down quickly, it's too dirty."

Halfas looked at the dirty little cat with affection. He was tired of the pedigree dogs and domestic cats in the city, and seeing a little wild cat lying in the courtyard always gave him an indescribable feeling.

But he glanced at Violet and saw her pale face, suddenly remembering a lesson his mother had taught him: "When interacting with others, you can't always think of yourself." So he took Violet's hand and said:

“Violet is right. If Lilith likes that little thing, I can have my servants buy lots and lots of it for you. Put it down now.”

"Hey……"

Lilith sighed softly as she listened to the two of them joining forces to dissuade her.

"Well, poor little guy, life and death are predestined. I hope you won't be born in this tiny place in your next life."

Finally, she shook her head helplessly and could only carefully put the kitten back in its original place.

"Sister, give this to the kitten."

Violet broke a cookie into pieces and handed it to Lilith, saying this.

……

In the princess's bedroom, Halfas sat in the princess's lap. The princess leaned against the headboard, wearing a light silk nightgown, gently stroking his cheek while tenderly combing his golden hair with an ivory comb.

"From what you've said, both sisters are quite adorable. So, which one of them does my little Halphas prefer?"

Halfas climbed out of the queen's arms, stood on the bed, and began to think, stroking his chin. After a moment, his face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

Those two tender little hands clung tightly to Princess Ruyu's arm, as if she were pleading, "I'll only tell Mother, Mother, please don't tell anyone."

The princess looked at Halfas with affection and gently pulled him into her arms again. "You can speak freely, your mother will not tell anyone."

Halfas nodded his little head twice and said while sitting in the queen's lap:

"Hmm... Your subject thinks that although Violet can be a bit sharp-tongued, she is actually a very gentle girl. Although she is very concerned about her image and takes the noble honor that adults often talk about very seriously, she is actually very timid, which makes me especially want to protect her!"
