Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

She was a young girl with long, brown hair, a delicate and sweet face, and deep, light blue eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Hehe, Lilith, you're making fun of me. I didn't cherish the opportunity you gave me to be a father, and now I'm being paranoid."

Rudius muttered to himself while looking at his wine glass, "After all, Alice only gagged a little, and I cowardly ran away."

"Lilith, you left so irresponsibly. How was I supposed to know there would be so much of a mess left..."

A smile appeared on his slightly flushed face.

"However, I am still very grateful to you, Lilith. After all, you have brought me many things I have never experienced before, whether it's being moved or falling in love..."

"..."

"The children are good too..."

How pretentious...

Rudius cursed himself. Alice probably needed him desperately right now, but he was drinking in the red-light district.

……

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Mr. Rudius to arrive so early."

A moment later, a very handsome man sat down opposite Rudeus.

This wasn't their first meeting, but Rudius still gave Luke a once-over.

His short, slicked-back hair was shiny and glossy, complementing his high, straight nose and well-defined jawline. His clean face was free of any stray hairs, and beneath his azure eyes was an alluring beauty mark. He was indeed the most handsome man in the capital.

"There's no need to be so polite, after all, we're all family."

As he spoke, Rudius picked up the wine bottle, filled Luke's glass with crystal-clear red wine, and then smiled at Luke, "After all, if we're really going to talk about it, we're cousins."

Seeing that Rudeus was not a man of deep thought, Luke took the wine glass, but as soon as his hand touched the glass, he felt a chill.

He looked at the rim of the glass; a thin layer of ice had formed on top of the wine inside.

Luke already knew that Rudeus was a Water Saint-level magician who could not chant, and this move could be considered a silent warning.

"Why should I?! My father died at the hands of your Boreas family, and I not only have to listen to your hypocritical attempts to get close to me, but I also have to be threatened by you?"

Luke roared inwardly, his anger, resentment, and unwillingness all welling up inside him.

But he didn't show it; he simply elegantly brought the glass to his lips, took a small sip, and smiled.

"Hmm~ It's cool and sweet at first, but spicy and hot in the aftertaste. It seems Mr. Rudius is quite particular."

"Really? This is just ordinary wine, not comparable to the fine brews of Milpotts Territory."

Rudius swirled his glass a couple more times and said self-deprecatingly, "Of course, a country bumpkin like me who's only been in the capital for a few days can't really tell how good the wine is."

"It's okay, you can try more if you can't taste the difference."

Luke instructed his servants to bring the fine wine he had brought to the table and poured a glass for Rudius as well.

“Actually, my father Paul could have chosen not to be the head of the family. After all, his heart wasn’t in it. Besides, he and Uncle Pilemon were brothers, so there was no point in him fighting over his own nephew’s inheritance.”

Rudeus cut to the chase, "Besides, Mr. Luke, you came to see me not just for your own reinforcements, but what does Your Highness mean by this?"

Although Luke harbors a grudge against the Boreas family, Rudeus's straightforward approach to things is evident from their interactions here.

Furthermore, Rudius belongs to Philip's faction, making him not only someone who can be won over, but also someone the princess has to give Philip due consideration in certain aspects.

Therefore, Luke didn't beat around the bush and directly stated what he wanted to say:

"Her Highness Ariel will nominate you as the new captain of the Royal Guard's Magicians' Guild, but she would like to ask Lord Philip for a favor: to get Dirich into the Royal Academy, because..."

"Because Pope Milis's grandson, Clive Grimmore, will soon be studying at the Royal Academy, Princess Ariel wants to leverage the influence of the Milis followers, is that right?"

Rudius interrupted.

That's right.

Luke nodded quietly.

Rudius's face immediately darkened, because this was exactly as Philip had instructed. However, according to normal procedure, this should have happened after he stood Luke up once.

However, if Princess Ariel were to actually come into contact with Pope Clive Grimmore, she would truly lose her chance to compete for the throne.

"boom!"

"Do you think I'm stupid, Luke?"

Rudeus slammed his hand on the table and demanded sternly, "Even without Princess Ariel's help, I could become the leader of the Magicians' Guild. You expect me to help you set up with Cliff? What kind of business is this?"

"However, I can help deal with your older brother, Rob Nottos Greirat."

"But the Northern Emperor Obel has always been by his side. Should we ask the Water God for help?"

"That barbaric method is too inelegant. The nobles of Asura should handle this."

Rudius shook his head. Even what Luke was about to say was within Philip's expectations, and he continued to guide Luke with confidence.

Do you still remember Prince Halfas?

……

"Prince Halfas? Who dares to mention Prince Halfas now? He's not..."

Luke looked puzzled, and fearing trouble, he deliberately lowered his voice, "Now, His Highness Tihalfath, isn't that courting death?"

"Let's not pretend among our cousins. This isn't the first time Princess Ariel has used Prince Halfas."

Rudius sneered and said in a low voice, "Princess Ariel was able to use Prince Halphas's name to get Dirich promoted, and now she can use Prince Halphas to kill Rob."

"It really can't be hidden from Mr. Rudius..."

Luke only decided to tell Rudeus the truth after Rudeus made his point clear.

"However, this is not the place to talk business."

Luke stood up and gestured invitingly, "Mr. Rudius, please suggest a place. I don't completely trust you now, but I can only trust you completely."

Because Rudeus isn't the type to beat around the bush, Luke could tell that, so he spoke the truth without using polite words to cover it up.

"Let's go to your place."

Rudius casually patted the hem of his clothes. "I'll take this opportunity to visit my father and mother."

Upon hearing that Rudeus had taken the initiative to go to the Notos family mansion, Luke lowered his guard slightly.

However, Rudeus was confident because the most threatening group, the North Emperor Ober and his entourage, were currently with Luke's brother in the Milpotz territory, and swordsmen below the Saint level could basically not threaten him.

Surrounded by servants, the two boarded the carriage and arrived at the Nottos family mansion.

Although they all lived together, Luke, Paul, and Janice barely spoke to each other, except for a brief exchange at Pierremont's funeral. Rob didn't even dare to attend the funeral.

After entering the mansion, Luke instructed his servants to bring Paul and Janice out.

Paul and Janice were extremely wary of Luke, but when they heard the news of Rudius's visit, Paul looked at Alphonse, who was standing by, and only after Alphonse nodded in confirmation did he and Janice feel relieved enough to come out of the room.

"Rudy..."

Paul's face lit up with joy when he saw Rudius; the father and son hadn't seen each other for two months since Rudius's fifteenth birthday party.

Janice was so excited that she couldn't say a word. She rushed to her son and hugged him tightly.

"Alright, alright, Mother, why are you making it sound like a life-or-death separation?"

Rudius patted Janice's back gently, comforting her.

Paul certainly wanted to go up and hug Rudy.

She hugged her biological son.

But after a brief moment of joy, sorrow crept into their hearts.

……

“Paul, this is Rudius’s own choice. Since he is already engaged to Alice, he has to accept that fate.”

"It's too cruel to take a child away right after birth..."

Paul's words were pleading. He looked up and found Philip staring at him with icy eyes.

"Your child is a child, but my child isn't?"

Philip said calmly, “Paul, don’t forget that I am also a father. My son still cannot recognize me. If you don’t want Rudius to suffer the same fate, then go back to the Notos family.”

How do I get back?

“Kill Pirimon and return as the heir.”

……

As Paul walked away, Rudius approached him and embraced him.

Rudius knew very well why Paul, who always regarded nobles as worthless, had gotten involved, and after seeing Alice's reaction during the day, an extremely awkward feeling spread through his heart.

"Rudy, what brings you here?"

Paul asked.

"Actually, I just came to talk to Mr. Luke about something, and also to visit my father and mother."

Rudius said with a smile, "Two months have passed, and Father is still as beautiful as ever, and Mother is still as handsome as ever."

Paul: ?

Janice: ?

"It's nothing, just kidding. Luke is still waiting for me, so I can't be with Father and Mother tonight."

After saying this, Rudius bowed deeply.

Has Rudy grown up?

Paul and Janice exchanged glances. Two years ago, when Rudy returned to Bouyana from Roya, they felt that Rudy no longer had the fierceness of a child prodigy. Instead, he seemed more like an ordinary nobleman's child.

Two years later, Rudy could already feel the obvious difference just by looking at his eyes.

Cold-blooded, yet compassionate.

She is no longer the innocent child she once was.

It was only after this bow that Paul and Janice realized that Rudy was already fifteen years old, even though Rudy had not been by their side for nearly eight years.

……

By the time they came to their senses, Rudius had already gone to talk to Luke.

……

In Luke's study, two hot maids waited at his desk. They were dressed in neat maid outfits, their prominent breasts pressing against the trays in their hands, squeezing the red wine in the trays to the edge of the plates.

"It should be at least an L, right..."

Rudeus mentally estimated the size of the two maids and couldn't help but sigh. The largest sizes he had seen in the Boreas household were probably Hilda and Kyrie Irvine, but these two maids were already far larger than them.

"Try the fine wines of the Milpotts Territory."

As Luke spoke, the maid poured wine, but the swaying breasts drew some of Rudeus's attention.

"Mr. Rudius?"

"Oh, sorry, where were we?"

Rudius scratched his head awkwardly, his thoughts returning to Luke.

"Don't mention it, Mr. Rudius. I'll give you a few if you like."

Luke smiled, took a sip of wine, and casually snapped his fingers. Five more busty beauties dressed as maids entered the study and surrounded Rudeus.

Luke is never stingy when it comes to giving away beautiful women.

“Mr. Rudius, there’s no need to worry. They are all weak women who can’t even kill a chicken. There will be no danger if you take them home.”

"Mr. Rudius, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Hey? Mr. Rudius, why are you having a nosebleed?"

……
