Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"It seems Mr. Philip was right..."

"Father? Waaah..."

Before she could finish speaking, Alice was pulled into a tight embrace by Izuru. "Alice, how could you be so foolish? If Mr. Philip hadn't sent me to stop you, you would have made a terrible mistake..."

"I...I don't understand..."

"It doesn't matter……"

Just then, Izuru suddenly sensed a strong killing intent. She slowly raised her head and saw a man with an exaggerated hairstyle walk past her and Alice, completely ignoring them as he headed towards the banquet hall. Every step he took exuded a dangerous aura, making Izuru shudder.

In the firelight, the man's patterned cloak and facial tattoos stood out, and she seemed to have heard rumors about him.

This person appears to be the Peacock Sword—Obel.

Chapter 205: The Battle of Crimson and Azure! The sound of the wind blowing at the end of the fierce battle!! (Part 2)

……

Seeing that the man who looked like the Northern Emperor Ober completely ignored her and Alice, Izuru breathed a sigh of relief.

If she hadn't secretly learned a little bit about the Sword Realm Stripping Technique by flipping through her master, the Water Goddess Leda's, notes from many years ago over the past ten years, she wouldn't have been able to stop Alice from using the Light Katana at the last moment. This half-baked Sword Realm Stripping Technique put a very obvious strain on her body. At this moment, Izuru is unable to condense her fighting spirit, let alone fight.

If he were to exchange a few more blows with Alice, perhaps Alice would be the one to win.

In this state, whether she was exhausted or Alice was covered in wounds, she could not defeat the Northern Emperor Ober.

Fortunately, his mission was already accomplished, so he probably wouldn't have to be enemies with the Northern Emperor.

……

Halfas entered the hall surrounded by several soldiers. The hall fell silent as the nobles whispered among themselves. Compared to the legitimacy of the nation and the honor of their ancestors that Gravel had spoken of, their own lives were naturally the best option in the face of the soldiers Halfas had brought with real swords and spears.

Seeing that only Kyrie Irvine was behind Halphas, Philip in the corner of the hall breathed a sigh of relief; Izzo had already done her job.

At this moment, Gravel, standing on his seat, raised his hand and pointed at the soldiers Halfas had brought, angrily shouting:

"You are the noble Royal Guard, but to whom do you pledge your allegiance? To the King of Asura, or to this traitor?!"

"The knights of Asura are of course only loyal to their king, who is the king? At least you are not, my dear brother."

Halfas walked up to Gravel with a mocking air, and just as he was about to put his sword to Gravel's neck, he sensed a murderous intent coming toward him.

He looked back and saw that all the soldiers behind him had fallen, and Girenau's chilling sword was pointed at him.

"Oh? You mad dog, do you know who you're pointing your sword at?"

The lack of fear in Halphas's words surprised Kyrie Irvine.

Kyrie Irvine said sternly, “I don’t care who you are, all I know is that you are a shameless scoundrel who traffics children into performing arts, murders many pregnant women to satisfy your lust, and will stop at nothing to seize the throne, even resorting to a coup to usurp it.”

Although the language was unfamiliar, the meaning was clear, and in front of everyone, the true nature of Halfas was revealed.

In response, Halfas argued:

"Hmph, as expected of Philip's dog, it's learned to be quite the imitator. But what does it matter? Who cares about such things when one becomes king?"

Immediately afterwards, he threw down his sword, took a step forward, and Gilead's sword was almost a fist's width away from him.

"Come on, you cowardly dog, kill me."

He closed his eyes, facing the blade with an air of enjoyment.

"Prepare for judgment."

Kyrie I raised his sword hilt, ready to decapitate Halphas with a single blow.

boom!

In an instant, a man blocked Gilead's sword strike with two crossed swords.

As the sword was blocked, a pungent citrus scent filled Kyriano's nostrils. She took two steps back before she could see the man's full appearance.

His exaggerated, broom-like hairstyle, tattoos covering half his face, colorful clothes resembling peacock feathers, and two swords on his body in addition to the two he was holding in his hands, which he was crossing over.

Kyrie Illusion pondered for a moment, recalling rumors he seemed to have heard about this person.

"Is it Kitakami Ryu?"

"Hmm~ My name is Aubert Colbert, and I am known as 'Peacock Sword' or 'Northern Emperor Aubert'."

The man, who identified himself as Aubert, bowed very politely.

Such actions only made Gilead feel more hostile. Perhaps it was because the scent of Ober was not so friendly to the beastmen, and given that the other party was the Northern Emperor whom they had heard of before, they could not let their guard down. Therefore, Gilead assumed a fighting stance, holding his sword to his chest, ready to unleash the Greatsword of Light at any moment.

Halphas roared, "Hurry up and do it! Obel, let them see what happens to those who rebel against the King!"

His expression was almost manic; he knew he was only one step away from the throne.

Aubert put his hands in his pockets, and everyone present held their breath. No one knew what the Northern Emperor would do. All they knew was that for a swordsman of Emperor-level strength, killing hundreds or thousands of people was as easy as drinking water.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight."

Aubert slowly and deliberately extended his hand from his robes...

bump!

With a loud bang, all the floor-to-ceiling windows in the banquet hall shattered. When people came to their senses, Halfas and Aubel had already disappeared, leaving only smoke and glass shards on the floor.

A moment later, Alice, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was carried into the banquet hall by Izuru.

"The traitors have fled! They are warriors who resisted the traitors!" Gravel shouted in victory, pointing at Kyrianu, Izorte, and Alice. Then he looked at the ministers below the stage, "You are also loyal subjects of Asura. Not one of you surrendered to the traitor Halfas! This is our common victory!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

As the ministers cheered, Gravel suddenly feigned sorrow and tears. He carefully wiped away his tears, speaking in a barely audible voice, "It's just that my poor father, who was so angered by that unfilial son Halphas that he has seriously injured his health and hasn't woken up yet. As his son, I can't do anything... And my poor son... As his father, I couldn't even celebrate his tenth birthday..."

"Waaaaah..."

"Waaah...waaah..."

Ariel and Illyr also shed tears, and this atmosphere infected the ministers, who followed suit, and the wedding ended in this manner.

……

Somewhere outside the capital

……

"Lord Sal, I trusted you so much, and asked you to help me, the prince, just so you could help me escape?!"

Halphas angrily pointed his sword at Sal Yerosnek, "Do you know how close I was to the throne?! Just one step away! Why didn't you let Ober kill them all?!"

“Your Highness, I warned you long ago not to heed Philip’s advice, but you did it anyway. Do you know what the consequences will be?” Sal said with great difficulty, trying to remain calm.

"The consequences? Of course, it'll be that I, the prince, ascend the throne!"

“Wrong. Your Highness led the Royal Guard into the Silver Palace, which is itself a betrayal of His Majesty and of Asura. Moreover, Philip has also placed the Sword King Kyrianu inside, who can take Your Highness’s life at any time and then reap the rewards. As for Prince Gravel and Princess Ariel, they can use the credit for suppressing Your Highness’s usurpation to strengthen their own power. This old minister has spoken to Your Highness many times, but Your Highness just won’t listen.”

"But I have Aubert! Aubert is the Northern Emperor! How could I possibly give Gravel and Ariel a chance?!"

Halphas roared, his eyes filled with resentment towards Thrall.

“Even if Obel kills them all, so what? None of the four lords belong to His Highness, and His Highness is embroiled in rumors. In addition, there was a coup attempt. Even if His Highness successfully becomes king, he will not be able to win over the people. Rebellions will surely break out throughout Asura, leaving His Highness with no place to bury his body. Moreover, this old minister does not want to become a sinner of Asura and watch Asura fall apart.”

"You're talking nonsense! I still have Aiolos! I still have..."

“The Aiuros family has already shown their goodwill to Prince Gravel, but the prince is unaware of it. Perhaps only Miss Lilith still has feelings for the prince…”

"...You...you're talking nonsense..."

Clang...

The sword fell to the ground, and Halphas collapsed to the ground in despair.

“Your Highness, the capital is now under lockdown, and it’s estimated that you will be wanted throughout the country soon. So it won’t be safe for me here either. I have arranged for a caravan to take you away from Asura. You can go to Sharia and seek refuge with Miss Lilith. I have already sent her a letter. I will also try to persuade His Majesty to forgive Your Highness. Once His Majesty forgives Your Highness, Your Highness can return.”

As he spoke, Sal picked up a heavy bag of gold coins and stuffed it into Halphas's arms. "Your Highness, this is one hundred Asura gold coins, enough for you to live comfortably. Until I come to you, please use the name Rudnorman."

Chapter 206: Believing in the Only Light of Life

Lilith's perspective:

……

"traitor!"

"Pervert!"

"Scoundrel!"

Amidst the public outcry, Halfas, his face filled with despair, was led by soldiers to the gallows, a noose tied around his neck, awaiting his death sentence.

Lilith stood below the stage, looking towards the judge's bench. The chief law enforcement officer sitting in the center was very familiar to her. He had light brown hair, a fairly handsome face, and a beauty mark under his eye. He was Rudius Boreas Greirat.

"How could it be...Rudeus..."

……

"Waaah!"

What a terrible dream.

It was just a dream, but it made me feel a little breathless, and soon I felt the discomfort of sweat sticking to my clothes all over my body.

This has been happening lately. Has something happened to His Highness Halfas...?

"Miss! What happened, Miss?"

Beck rushed into my room nervously, his hand on his sword. As a guard knight, he was quite competent.

"Did you have another nightmare?"

"Hmm, I guess so... Ugh... Ugh..."

Just as I was about to vomit, Baker placed a clean basin in front of me, but I had nothing left to vomit.

I've been feeling nauseous and weak lately, and that unlucky thing hasn't happened for a while.

"Miss, I'll go get a doctor right away."

"Baker, no."

"But...Miss...okay..."

Seeing that Baker seemed hesitant to speak, he sighed helplessly at my situation and left the room.

Even without seeing a doctor, I could probably sense what was happening inside my body. The sensation when I touched my lower abdomen—though the skin hadn't bulged yet—was like I could feel the restlessness beneath it. After doing this so many times, I finally got pregnant again…

I felt a strange urge to share these things with Rudius, even though it was just a tool to me.

I don't know how much longer my body can hold out. I can't let Loki and Hilfiet know about this, or it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Things didn't seem to go as I expected. After arriving in Lanoa, it seemed like every move I made went wrong. Things that I had planned would always be affected by some uncontrollable factor once Rudeus got involved, whether it was killing him, seducing him, or something else. I just hope that this time there won't be any more mistakes.

I've even started to wonder if leaving His Highness Halfas in the first place was a mistake.

What's the point of thinking like that?

An arrow shot can never be retrieved. I only hope that during this year away, Prince Halphas will take good care of himself, and that I will soon return, returning victorious.

Let's hope so.

……

Rudyus's perspective:

……

I've been escorted for about a month, and I haven't heard a single thing about Lilith, Silphie, or Teacher Loki. Just kidding, I'm a prisoner being escorted. Now, sitting to my left is a beautiful girl, about two years older than me, one of the escort officers, the famous Sword God, the daughter of Gar Farion, the Sword Saint Nina Farion.

Sitting to my right is a boy who doesn't seem very bright. He's about my age, like Nina's younger brother, named Kino. Kino is also a swordsman, but he's not very talkative and is a quiet boy.

Just as I was getting into the prison van, the two of them gave me a letter, saying that someone had given it to them on the way. I felt that it was clearly meant for me to see, otherwise why would the two of them have handed it to me?

The letter came from a man who called himself Colt, probably not the same Colt who arrested me. The letter didn't contain any threatening words, but rather offered me some conditions. It was very straightforward: he wanted me to serve the Duchy of Basilante, and that he might contact me again once I arrived in the Holy City.

Along the way, I had some interactions with Nina and Kino. Since Gilead was my swordsmanship teacher, they weren't very wary of me when I told them I knew Gilead.

They were also very surprised by my "achievements," for example, "A magician actually fought against more than a hundred swordsmen head-on and wiped them all out!"
