Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

……

A month later, Lilith returned to the capital.

……

Theater Street was bustling with song and dance, and the carriages of many dignitaries came and went. In the afternoon or evening, the streets were even more crowded with carriages and horses.

In the theater, a scene is being performed depicting the former king of the Asura Kingdom, who, after encountering his dream lover during his time as a dragon, resolutely decides to abandon his claim to the throne in order to be with her. At this moment, the play has reached a comedic moment where the two are bickering.

Man: "You're heartless, ungrateful, and unreasonable!"

Woman: "You're not heartless, not ungrateful, not unreasonable, and not making a fuss over nothing!"

Man: "Where have I been heartless, ungrateful, or unreasonable?!"

Woman: "You're heartless, ungrateful, and unreasonable in every way!"

Man: "No matter how ruthless, cruel, or unreasonable I am, I will never be more ruthless, cruel, or unreasonable than you!"

Woman: "I'm more ruthless than you!? More cruel than you!? More unreasonable than you!? You're the most ruthless, cruel, and unreasonable person I've ever met!"

Man: "Hmph, I'm definitely not as ruthless, cruel, or unreasonable as you!"

Woman: "Fine, since you say I'm heartless, cruel, and unreasonable, then I'll show you how heartless, cruel, and unreasonable I can be!"

Man: "See? You said you weren't heartless, cruel, or unreasonable! Now you've completely shown your heartless, cruel, and unreasonable side!"

[Note: This is a reference to the argument between Yiping and Shuhuan in the TV series "Romance in the Rain".]

On stage, the male and female actors sang and joked back and forth, their faces flushed and their faces red, which made the audience below burst into laughter.

In the private room, Halfas held a cup of hot tea, his face solemn, and listened quietly.

squeak……

Lilith quietly pushed open the door to the private room, and Halphas immediately turned around, rushed over, and hugged her tightly.

"Your Highness..."

Lilith wrapped her arms around Halphas's neck and obediently buried her head in Halphas's chest, acting like a docile kitten and constantly snuggling up to him.

Halfasto lifted Lilith's cheek and gently kissed her forehead.

Lilith closed her eyes slightly, responding to Halphas's actions.

Then, Halphas gently unbuttoned Lilith's collar and carefully kissed her smooth, milky neck.

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

Halfas suddenly stopped what he was doing. A girl appeared in his mind. Her long brown hair, her amber eyes, and her sweet smile like cherry blossoms were still so captivating. Every smile and frown of hers was unforgettable.

“…Who told us we look alike…” Lilith smiled sadly, raised her head, and comforted him, “It’s alright, Prince Halphas has already tried his best.”

The atmosphere grew cold, and their embrace became less firm.

Lilith released Halphas's embrace, composed herself, undid the buttons on her collar, and then took Halphas's hands in hers.

"Your Highness, may I ask you a question?"

Lilith stared intently into Halphas's eyes, while Halphas looked away, his gaze desperately trying to avoid hers, but they still couldn't help but meet. Before this, the two had a long-awaited argument over something they had planned.

"So, it's still about going to La Noah, isn't it?" Halphas sighed.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask, what is Prince Halfas's dream?"

"Of course, I want to ascend the throne. I want to ascend the throne, find out who killed my mother eight years ago, and avenge her."

Halphas turned away and answered without hesitation.

He clenched his fists and looked at the pair of actors performing on the stage.

At this point, the opera performance had reached its peak.

"What good is the world if I don't have you!"

The male protagonist picks up the female protagonist and makes a vow of eternal love:

"Even if the sky falls and the earth collapses, even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, no one can separate us. Not even the gods, I will let them know how great mortal love is!"

The opera ended amidst applause. The story is always beautiful, and it did not tell the true history of the Kingdom of Asura, where the prince abandoned his dream lover after becoming king because of her commoner background, and how she committed suicide by sword a few years later after learning of the king's death.

"Then, Your Highness, would you like to know what my dream is?"

As she spoke, Lilith nestled against Halphas's back, her cheek pressed against his spine.

“I think it might be after I ascend the throne that I become queen, so that we can be together forever,” Halphas said.

Lilith gently shook her head. "No, actually, whether we're together or not isn't that important."

"what?"

Halfas clenched his fist again, his nails seemingly digging into his palm.

"Actually, I don't have any dreams, but when I learned about His Highness's dream and witnessed His Highness's tireless efforts for his dream over the past eight years, I felt compelled to help His Highness Halfas ascend the throne, even if I am not the one who ends up with His Highness."

Lilith's voice trembled more and more, and Halphas's breathing became more and more rapid.

"For Your Highness..."

"Waaah..."

Halphas turned around abruptly and embraced Lilith. The two, their faces flushed, finally ascended the steps to adulthood.

Jobless Reincarnation: Even Without a Transfer Event, I Will Still Live Seriously [Chapter 144] Side Story (5): The Night Before Trouble Begins

Chapter 144: Side Story (5) The Night Before Trouble Begins

……

Miss Lilith once said, "A moment of patience brings peace, a step back opens up a vast sky, and the one who laughs last is the true king."

But I don't think so. Looking at the current situation, Prince Gravel goes without saying. Seven out of ten of the court officials support him, and he is incredibly powerful. Faced with an opponent like Prince Gravel, Prince Halfas cannot sit idly by and wait for his doom. He must use a surprise attack to catch Prince Gravel off guard.

As for Princess Ariel, she is well aware of the saying that "the people are the boat and the ruler is the water," and that "the water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it." She is famous among the people and seems to have no intention of vying for power, but in fact she is eager to make a move. To deal with Princess Ariel, we need to launch a swift and decisive attack.

Therefore, I believe that if Prince Halfas wishes to win, he must resort to swift and decisive action.

Sal Jerošnek's "Prison Memoirs"

……

Lanoa Kingdom, Dak City

……

Not far from the southern border of the Kingdom of Lanoa, a tavern is filled with all sorts of smugglers, information brokers, and adventurers who stop by for a while. Beyond the border lies the Crimson Dragon's Jaw, where caravans carrying goods come and go. Many people in the tavern have their eyes on this business. When the caravan owners enter, some adventurers who can't get quests from the Adventurers' Guild or who have lost a lot of money gambling will also take on some quick-money jobs in this kind of place.

"Last time we landed a big order, back when we were still in the Kingdom of Asura."

"Wow, what kind of order is that? How big is it?"

"Not much, only ten."

"Ten silver coins?"

"Bullshit, you gold!"

"Wow, that's a lot, but that must be a lot of work!"

"It didn't take much effort. We just used the magic crystal to lure out all the monsters, then threw the magic crystal onto that unlucky guy's carriage, and we were done, haha."

"By the way, who exactly is that unlucky guy?"

"Hey, believe it or not, we do remember. That unfortunate fellow was a high-ranking nobleman, his name was Rudius Boreas Grerat. He must have been targeted by enemies. It's a pity he wasn't very old."

Listening to the thieves drinking and boasting, Zoldat glanced at them disdainfully before looking away.

He had a toothpick in his mouth, sat with his legs crossed in a chair, covered by a coat he had worn for almost five years, and stared intently at the tavern door, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

A few days ago, Zoldat kept dreaming of a guy who claimed to be a god, saying that there would be a big deal.

He happened to be short of money these days and was very tight on cash, so he thought he might as well try his luck.

"You must be Mr. Zoldat, the S-rank adventurer."

Baker, wearing a bearskin coat and a tattered dogskin hat, sat down opposite him.

Zoldat sized up the guy in front of him. He looked to be in his early twenties, with fair and delicate skin. He seemed to have never experienced much hardship, like a child who had just run away from a noble family. He probably got lost while wandering around and was bothering people with such trivial matters.

Zoldat grew increasingly angry and said irritably:

"Do you need something from me, kid? If not, get lost and don't interfere with my big business."

"Is this considered a big deal?"

Beck's face darkened, and he pulled out a stack of Asura gold coins from his pocket and neatly placed them in front of Zoldat.

Zoldat immediately sat up straight, staring intently at the stack of gold coins.

One, two, three... ten!

Whose young master comes home and spends ten Asura gold coins?!

God bless me, Zoldat has struck it rich today!

For a moment, Zoldat was overjoyed, but then his heart skipped a beat.

Zoldat's years of experience as an adventurer taught him to be extremely careful, especially when accepting large-scale commissions like these. These commissions often involved either escorting valuable goods to dangerous areas or committing murder, arson, robbery, and other serious crimes.

At the same time, he was also wondering if he had offended someone, and these ten Asura gold coins might be his coffin money.

Seeing Zoldat hesitate, Beck sneered:

"Heh, it seems Mr. Zoldat doesn't really want these ten Asura gold coins. I guess I'll have to find someone else."

As he spoke, he put the ten gold coins back into his pocket.

Zoldat's heart skipped a beat as he watched the ten gold coins he was about to receive being taken away.

"Fortune favors the bold! Just tell me what you need, and I'll do anything for you, even if it means being your dog... no, as long as it's within my power, I'll get it done for you."

“Very good, Mr. Zoldat is indeed a man of great things.” With that, Baker pushed the ten Asura gold coins toward Zoldat. “My name is Tettomp, so let’s begin our cooperation.”

“Mr. T.T.T., what do you want with this huge sum of money, ten Asura gold coins?” Zoldat asked cautiously.

Baker squinted and smiled, saying, "It's not that difficult. Just help me kill someone."

"Who are you killing? Whose head is worth ten Asura gold coins? Is the skull made of gold or the eyeballs?"

"You'll understand after reading this."

After saying that, Beck took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zoldat. "This envelope contains information about the person we're going to kill. Consider the ten Asura gold coins as a deposit. If you do a good job, I'll give you ten times the amount."

Multiply it tenfold, and that's one hundred Asura gold coins...

That's enough to buy a house in a town in the Kingdom of Asura, settle down, and live a carefree life for a few years.

Zoldat eagerly opened the letter, “Rudius Boreas Greirat, a Water Saint-level magician…”

"Okay, I'll take the job."

Zoldat only vaguely recognized the words on the letter. Although he had doubts, he couldn't resist the temptation of money and readily agreed.

"Just a heads up, you'd better be careful. There's a green-haired, long-eared sorceress named Hilfiet with him. It'll be much easier if you take care of her first. Bring more people with you and be careful."

After saying that, Baker left the hotel.

……

Three months later, the names of the one-armed sorcerer Rudeus and the Spedeud girl Hilfiet spread throughout Lanoa, but Rudeus also received widespread praise due to the introduction of the blackboard as a teaching tool.

……

In a tavern in Sharia, a fire was burning in the fireplace. Lilith sat on the sofa beside the fireplace, her eyes slightly closed, her chin resting on her hand, intending to take a short nap.

"Miss Lilith, we just intercepted a spy from the Boreas family."

Baker went inside, threw a person who was tied up like a dumpling in front of Lilith, and found a secret letter on the person.

Lilith took the secret letter, her brows furrowing slightly. She then got up, tore the letter to shreds, and threw it into the fireplace. The burning paper scraps flew to the floor, emitting a pungent stench.

Immediately afterwards, Lilith gave Baker a signal, and Baker snapped the man's neck.

"It's truly unexpected that His Highness Halfas's personal guard intercepted the king-level healing scroll that Gravel was sending to Lanoa, not from one of his own, but from the intercepted intelligence."

As she spoke, Lilith slowly walked up to Baker, grabbed his collar, and said in an icy tone, "Baker, as someone close to me, what are your thoughts on this happening?"
