Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"Heh," the king put down the memorial in his hand, a nostalgic expression on his face. "When I asked her, that little girl Lilith said, 'It's because Violet liked Prince Halfas.' If she hadn't killed her own sister in a moment of passion, I might never have noticed this child."

Rudius was so surprised he was speechless.

A crime of passion committed when she was six years old.

Two seemingly unrelated words are linked to the same person.

"Surprised, aren't you?" the king laughed.

"Later, the Aiolos family conspired with my queen to usurp the throne. Lilith abandoned her own family without hesitation and chose me. She killed the queen and nipped their plot in the bud. At that time, Lilith was only eight years old."

"Your Majesty, you mean Lilith... when she was eight years old..."

“That’s right. Lilith was already capable of making choices when she was eight years old. If it weren’t for her actions, the Aiolos family might have undergone a complete overhaul long ago.”

After saying this, the king looked at Rudeus, and his hawk-like gaze made Rudeus extremely nervous.

Lilith, at the age of six, killed both the king's spy and a love triangle; at the age of eight, she helped the king stop an impending rebellion, thus saving her family...

“Your Majesty, I cannot reach Lilith's level, compared to her…”

"I have never seen a child like Lilith, but you are equally amazing."

"I also……"

Rudeus found the king's statement unbelievable; it was an undeniable fact that Lilith had already surpassed his reincarnated self at the age of six.

“That’s right. I also find it quite surprising that you became a Saint-level magician at the age of five, but Lilith certainly didn’t recognize you based on those factors.”

"Then why did she..."

"Because of destiny."

"Destiny?"

……

Rudyus's perspective:

……

I spent a long time among the kings and eventually became one of their dogs.

His Majesty the King said that Lilith's choice of me was "destiny".

I don't know what the concept of destiny is, but she once had feelings for me.

me too.

However, in our contest, whoever fell in love lost.

In the end, there are no winners.

And now, I am with Philip and James in the bedchamber of Prince Gravel.

Gravel looked much older than me, probably close to thirty, but younger than Paul.

His face, exuding the same masculine and heroic air as the king's, had eyes that conveyed nobility, a high and straight nose, and a head of soft, golden hair.

He sat in a chair, the crystal-clear purple liquid in the glass in his hand clearly indicating it was a fine wine.

"Did His Majesty say anything to you, Lord Rudius?"

As he spoke, Gravel gestured to the maid to pour me a glass of the same wine.

I took the wine glass and said, “Your Highness, His Majesty inquired about the current situation of the Kingdom of Lanoa after the Kingdom of Asra went into seclusion. He said that in order to reward me for my contribution to obtaining the Crimson Dragon’s Upper Jaw, he decided to let me join the Magicians’ Guild of the Palace Guard.”

"Oh? What did you say?"

Gravel rested his chin on his hand, looking quite intrigued.

"I decline Your Majesty's offer."

"why?"

“What I told Your Majesty was that since the Crimson Dragon’s upper jaw has not yet been captured, it would be unjust for me to accept Your Majesty’s favor without merit, which is difficult for me to accept. Therefore, I petitioned Your Majesty to go to the Royal Academy to serve as a magic teacher and train magicians who can be used to conquer the Crimson Dragon’s upper jaw in the future.”

Seeing that Gravel nodded slightly, I continued.

"As for the reason, His Majesty's idea of ​​having me join the Palace Guard is most likely a test. Furthermore, His Highness knows that the current commander of the Palace Guard's magic corps is Diluc Reitbart, the bodyguard mage of Princess Ariel. Rashly joining the magic corps would inevitably invite direct attacks from the Princess's faction. I've just arrived in the capital and am unfamiliar with everything; rashly contacting the Princess's faction would likely put me at a disadvantage. Besides..."

"Alright, I think I know everything."

Gravel interrupted me, which made me very uneasy, but Philip and James, sitting opposite me, looked quite calm. Was I overthinking it...?

"Is Lord Rudius going to say that because he has the blood of the Nottus family, he might receive extra attention from Pilemon, and that if he becomes bait for the princess's faction, it might not be worth the loss?"

It was exactly what I was going to say back then...

"Your Highness is wise, that is indeed what I think."

"Yes, Lord Rudius's thinking is very comprehensive, and I am very pleased."

In my version of events, the king doesn't trust me, so he plans to use the position of the Palace Guard Magicians as bait to make me the target of the princess's faction, thereby directly weakening the power of the prince's faction led by Prince Gravel.

Judging from Gravel's expression, he must have believed it.

"However, I will propose to my father tomorrow that you join the Palace Magicians' Guild."

what?

Gravel's expression turned ferocious and terrifying; things probably weren't as I thought...

"Since Father wants to see a play, then let's put on a show for him."

Previously: Rudy and Silphie escaped back to Asura and spent their first night back home at Roya's house.

……

"So, it's my turn now, Rudy."

Hilfi's sweet voice entered my ears, a hazy feeling entered my heart, and a dim consciousness filled my brain.

“Silphi…”

"Rudy..."

Jobless Reincarnation Fanfic: Live Seriously Even Without a Transfer Event [Chapter 236] Random Thoughts

Chapter 236: Idle Talk

……

During their conversation with the king that day, they gradually learned the truth about what had happened in the past.

I don't understand the king's concept of "destiny," just as I didn't understand what Master Merlin said to me before he died.

I can only guess that perhaps the king favored Lilith because she wasn't entirely inclined towards the power struggles within the family.

It seems that Lilith had already laid the groundwork for my being chosen by the king.

Previously, I didn't seem to be part of the plan to conquer the Crimson Dragon's Upper Jaw. It was after Lilith abandoned her plan to kill me that she had already spoken to His Majesty the King on my behalf, paving the way for my return.

At this time, the king also discovered that I had the same characteristics as Lilith.

Although I belong to the Bereas family, I am not entirely under the command of a prince.

In other words, there are points of disagreement between me and the Boreas family.

Just like Lilith and Aiolos's family.

Lilith was betrayed by her family.

After the Halphas coup failed, the Aiolos family immediately severed ties with Lilith and publicly expelled her from their home.

The little girl who once single-handedly saved the Aiolos family was betrayed and abandoned without mercy by the Aiolos family more than a decade later, when the coup by the second prince, Halphas, failed.

This was indeed a wise strategy for the Aiolos family to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.

And for the Boreas family, perhaps that day will come for me too.

……

"Rudy, good morning."

I haven't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time.

The voice in my ear was gentle and familiar, like a summer breeze blowing through a quiet forest.

"Hmm... Good morning... Sylphie."

I rubbed my head and groggily opened my eyes.

Ah... Sylphie, you're still so cute...

Looking into my eyes, her deep, wine-red eyes were sparkling and smooth. Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down her slender ears, the strands shimmering in the morning light falling to the bridge of my nose, leaving a slightly ticklish sensation.

The gaze moves downwards, revealing snow-white skin with a slight blush and flesh tone beneath the openwork milky-white nightgown, with pink cherry blossom petals peeking out from beneath.

"Wake up~ Rudy has to go to the Magicians' Troupe today, don't be late."

"Well……"

I hugged the quilt and rolled around on the bed, pretending to be cute and not wanting to get up.

How shameful...

"What's wrong, Rudy?"

"I need a kiss from Silphie to get out of bed."

"Tsk."

Hilfi kissed my forehead decisively, a very gentle, sweet kiss.

A loving kiss from Silphi in the early morning gives me energy and vitality for the whole day.

Sure enough, the feeling when I was in an ambiguous relationship with Hilfi in the past is different from the feeling now that we are officially dating.

After being rewarded with a kiss from Silphi, I obediently got up and was helped to get dressed by her, just like a couple from the Showa era.

As Hilfi was buttoning the second button of my shirt collar, I teased her:

“Silphie was very well-behaved last night.”

Hearing my words, her whole face flushed with shyness, and her long, slender ears swayed up and down, turning a bright red.

"As long as Rudy likes it..."

She looked away shyly and quickly fastened the remaining two buttons.

"It's so nice to have a wife like Silphie~ I can't wait to marry you."

"Um... um, Rudy's all dressed. Rudy, you can go down and eat now."

Hearing me say that, Hilfi seemed even more embarrassed and pushed me out of the room by the back of my hand.

After breakfast, I went to the Silver Palace and sat in the hall of the court magicians' troupe, where I prepared to listen to today's morning meeting with hundreds of magicians.

Last week, with the help of Prince Gravel, the King personally ordered me to join the Royal Guard Magicians' Guild. I was appointed and took office on the same day. I also became a water magic teacher at the Asura Royal Academy. This wind blowing from His Majesty the King was incredibly fast.

Because of the coup d'état by the second prince, Halfas, the entire Royal Guard was incorporated into the Palace Guard, and even the once-lower-class Magicians' Guild now enjoyed the same treatment as the Royal Guard.

Also whose status changed with the coup d'état by the second prince, Halfas, was Derek Reitbart, the leader of the Magicians' Guild.

When the morning meeting started, Dirich Bartlett entered the hall wearing a crisp white robe with gold trim. She strode to the head seat, her ivory-soled high heels making a clanging sound on the granite floor.

His gait was very steady, not like someone who had just turned twenty.

It's said that a new official should be radiant, but Dilik's pale face, heavy dark circles, high cheekbones, and gaunt cheeks made him seem unhealthy.

Dirich Reitbart was originally a bodyguard sorcerer for Princess Ariel, but two months ago he was promoted to head of the Magicians' Guild for his meritorious service in protecting her during the coup.

This essentially places the Magicians' Guild under the Princess's faction.
