Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

Rudius said with a smile, "I prepared some food for Young Master Carter. It was prepared in a bit of a hurry, so please make do with it."

Rudius's tone wasn't very polite; it didn't sound like he was just making small talk. Carter found it very endearing.

"Excuse me."

Ignoring all aristocratic etiquette, Carter picked up the bread and started munching on it, wolfing it down.

Rudius looked at him with relatively cold eyes, a hint of chill in his gleaming gaze.

Even though his family had fallen on hard times, Carter Yerosnek was still a nobleman with his own stipend. Although he lived a difficult life, he was not starving.

And how many people had he actually seen freeze to death or starve to death...?

……

"Now that we've dealt with Carter, Paul and the others should be here by now."

Rudius muttered to himself as the carriage arrived at the city gate of the capital.

It was just past noon, and the sun was high in the sky in the distance. Two withered leaves were swept up into the clouds by the cool breeze.

Soon after, Albert arrived at the city gate with Norren and Aisha.

"Oh, my elder brother is here too."

Rudius glanced at Albert, who had just alighted from the carriage, and simply raised his hand in greeting.

He didn't bow first as we did when we first met, but after almost a month of getting to know each other, this simple greeting felt more intimate and less formal.

“After thinking it over, I think it’s necessary for Norren and Aisha to come and pick them up,” Albert patted Norren’s head and glanced at Aisha behind him out of the corner of his eye. “After all, they are Mr. Paul’s own flesh and blood.”

"I apologize to you first, Rudius."

Albert said.

"Eh? What do you need to apologize to me for, elder brother?"

Rudius asked.

“Hehe,” Albert chuckled sheepishly, putting his hands behind his back, “It’s about Hilfiet. A few days ago, I…”

"As for Hilfi, I should apologize to my brother first."

Rudius didn't let Albert continue; instead, he bowed and apologized directly.

“Silfie has just arrived in the capital and is still unfamiliar with some of the proper etiquette and hierarchy. If she has offended anyone, please forgive her, brother. I will punish her as a form of discipline when we return.”

Seeing Rudeus's obsequious manner, Noren felt a surge of secret pleasure. She stood behind Albert, holding onto his clothes, but when her crystal blue eyes swept over Rudeus's expressionless face, she suddenly sensed a chill.

This made her feel a little scared.

"Don't do that. Although Hilfiet will be a concubine in the future, the punishment is unnecessary."

Albert patted Rudius on the shoulder and gave him a smile. "After all, we live together, and it was my fault for being impolite. Besides, it wasn't a formal occasion, so it's fine to be casual. Don't be too reserved."

"Thank you for your understanding, elder brother."

Rudius smiled, but cursed inwardly, "They live together, yet he still makes things difficult for Sylphie?"

Fortunately, things are still somewhat respectable. It's always good to be more careful in the future. After all, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Now that Albert is coming to tell me what will happen in the future, I can't even imagine it.

It was obvious that James's faction was suppressing Philip's faction. After only a month in the capital, the oppressive feeling he had felt before rose up in Rudeus's heart once again.

"Noren, aren't you coming this way?"

Rudius called out Noren's name and looked behind him.

Noren hid directly behind Albert, gripping the hem of Albert's wool coat tightly with both hands.

Seeing Noren's resistance, Rudeus stopped talking and instead pulled Aisha in front of him, gently stroking her head.

"Ah~ Young Master Rudeus..."

Aisha was flattered and shyly lit the lantern with her round little face.

"Little Norren, you should go to your brother's place too. Your parents will be happy when they see you."

Before Noren could refuse, Albert gently nudged him and pushed him next to Rudius.

"I... Hmph."

Noren was about to say something, but looking into Albert's gentle brown eyes, the nine-year-old girl swallowed her words and silently raised her hand to grasp Rudius's sleeve, waiting quietly.

For Noren, grabbing the cuff might have been the limit; she didn't want to have any contact with Rudius, and she didn't even want to see her parents.

Two years ago, my father sent me to the capital as a hostage with just a word. I even got slapped by my own father over a disagreement. Since my parents don't want me, what's the point of staying with such a family...?

Even if they met, they would still be children abandoned by their parents.

"Waaah..."

Rudius looked down and saw two tear streaks spreading downwards from the corners of Noren's eyes.

Chapter 243: The Sun at Ten O'Clock

……

Rudius didn't speak, but instead reached out and grabbed Norn's chubby little hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

Perhaps noticing Rudius's gaze, Noren wiped away his tears and continued to wait.

After waiting for a long time, a carriage bearing the coat of arms of the Boreas family appeared in the sight of Rudius and the others.

After going through a complicated process of entering the city, Paul, Janice, and Lilia in the carriage were finally able to enter the inner city.

Through Albert's connections, they changed carriages, and Rudius, along with Noren and Aisha, traveled with Paul and others, while Albert tactfully rode away on horseback.

Aisha sat on Rudeus's lap, held in his arms like a porcelain doll.

Paul glanced enviously at Rudius, then looked at Noren sitting in the corner, and spread his arms, gesturing for Noren to sit down like that.

Noren rolled his eyes at him and looked out the window again.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to the capital since Rudy was born."

Looking out the window at the wide streets and the flow of people, Janice sighed.

A gentle midday breeze blew into the carriage, ruffling a few strands of golden hair on Janice's profile. Such a beautiful young woman was a rare sight even in the capital.

The reunion of long-lost relatives was far less enthusiastic than imagined.

It was just a simple hug after we met; there was no warm greeting or tears.

……

The autumn wind swept in, penetrating the high walls of the royal city where the spring breeze had never visited. For some reason, the wind was unusually fierce that night. Despite the singing and dancing in the banquet hall, the howling of the wind outside the window could still be clearly heard.

The banquet was a buffet, and all the nobles of the capital, including the Yerosnek family, were present.

While all the lesser nobles were currying favor by toasting and ingratiating themselves with the greater nobles, Carter Yerosnek found a chair, took off his coat, and neatly hung it behind the chair, so that it neither affected his own meal nor anyone else's.

Bearing the glory of the upper-class nobility, before the brothers divided the family property, the family still had enough money to eat meat.

When Carter watched as the perfectly grilled steak, its flesh slightly reddish, was pierced by the steel fork in his hand, and glistening juices slowly flowed from the gap between the meat and the fork, he no longer cared about any aristocratic decorum.

Anyway, I'm just here to freeload. I don't know when I'll get another meal, so who cares if I'm a noble or not? I'll fill my stomach first!

Bread, potato cakes, and all that stuff can get out of my way!

You can get full just like eating steak and lobster!

"That must be the young master of the Yerosnek family... I never expected the Boreas family to invite him..."

"Stop looking at him. Getting involved with him could lead to trouble one day."

"..."

His poor table manners naturally drew a lot of criticism, and the nobles all avoided him. However, Carter didn't care anymore. After all, he was there to eat. He kept reminding himself to eat as much meat as possible while he could.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Carter was originally a flower that grew up in a greenhouse. During the months of turmoil, the food that he once looked down on became a precious item.

But Carter had no way to do anything about it.

"Thunder and rain, all are blessings from heaven... Oh well, let's just consider it a belated fifteenth birthday celebration for myself."

He swallowed most of the steak with this wine, and couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he stood up, grabbed the roast suckling pig in the middle of the table, and began to eat heartily.

……

"Hiccup...uh..."

As the banquet drew to a close, Carter burped and slumped in his chair, his neck resting on the backrest. His mouth and hands were covered in oil, and the collar of his unbuttoned ruff shirt was also stained with grease.

It was undoubtedly the most I had ever eaten in my life. It was the first time I had ever felt so full that I could hardly breathe.

Carter only sat up straight when someone appeared in front of him.

She was a long-eared girl with long, silvery-white hair neatly draped over her shoulders, flowing like moonlight. Her wine-red eyes were as clear as agate, and she had a sweet face, jade-white skin, and long, slender ears.

“Hilufiet Boreas Grerat”.

The second most important person at the banquet was dressed simply in a pure black strapless dress with a circle of red gemstones around her waist. Although she was only a concubine who had not yet been married, she had just been given the surname Boreas.

Carter intended to ignore all the nobles at the banquet, except for the Boreas family, whom he was obliged to respect.

At least this meal was a gift from the Boreas family.

"Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality due to the large number of guests, Mr. Carter."

Hilfi bowed slightly in greeting.

"Miss...Miss...Miss Hilfiet...Oh dear!"

Carter wanted to stand up and bow, but he was so full that he fell off his chair.

Seeing this, the servants behind Hilfi quickly helped Carter up, and the two were able to have a normal conversation.

"Mr. Carter, are you alright?" Hilfi asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just ate too much."

Carter gave an awkward laugh. "Miss Hilfiet, what can I do for you? I hope someone of my status won't cause you any trouble."

"Mr. Carter is worrying too much."

Hilfi shook her head shyly and said softly, "An esteemed person wishes to see you. Please come with me, Mr. Carter."

"Someone wants to see me?"

The Yerosnek family is now surrounded by enemies, and everyone is trying to avoid them. Who would want to get involved with the Yerosnek family?

With questions in mind, Carter followed Hilfi to the study in the back hall.

The mahogany door slowly opened, and Carter held his breath upon seeing the people inside.

"Please sit down, Carter."

"Lord...Darius!"

……

Meanwhile, in another room, a man wearing a dark green velvet blouse and a triangular dagger badge on his chest was silently drinking wine.

This person looked to be about thirty years old, with slightly sunken eye sockets and a somewhat swollen face, signs of excessive indulgence in alcohol and sex.

squeak……

The door slowly opened.

"Long time no see, Pierremont."

"Me too...brother."
