Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

In other words, his and Alice's son would inevitably be adopted by Albert.

Thinking about this, Rudius couldn't be happy at all.

It would be fine if Alice had a girl, but she could get pregnant again; how could she keep having daughters?

Furthermore, there is also Hilfi, whose son with him will also be adopted.

At this point, there is no room for wishful thinking.

You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. Your fate is already like this, so why should your children suffer along with you?

If it were Rudeus in the past, he might have chosen to tolerate it.

But Rudius is different now. Countless near-death experiences, countless losses of important things and people, and countless heart-wrenching realizations have taught him what he can and cannot tolerate.

“I finally understand you, Philip.”

Rudius silently thought to himself that he hadn't been able to understand Philip and Hilda's pain in the past, but he just didn't want their suffering to happen to him and Alice.

And now, how similar Philip and Hilda are to himself and Alice.

“I accept the offer that will solve everything once and for all, Philip.”

"But before that, give me a daughter, Alice."

Chapter 256: A Few Things About My Sister

……

"Noren, go to class."

Rudius put on his coat and said to Noren, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

He was on his way to Royal Academy.

In three days, he and Albert will travel to Milpotts to negotiate with Gravel and Rob, who are representatives of the territory.

The Royal Academy is already at the end of the semester, which means that today is his last class of the academic year. He will not be able to attend classes at the Royal Academy again for several months until he returns to the capital from the Milpotz territory.

More importantly, Norren did not choose the water magic course next semester, which was clearly an attempt to avoid Rudius.

Are we going to drag out this sibling conflict, which was already inexplicable, until later?

One year later or several years later?

Although we are prepared for a protracted battle, progress is now imperative.

Noren seemed not to hear, and continued to quietly turn to the next page of the book.

Rudius had noticed the book; it was a love story left behind by a former king of the Asura Kingdom.

In this love story, the late king is portrayed as an upright and devoted person.

This is the story of this king when he was twenty years old.

At that time, the king was still in the pre-heaven era and was attacked by his political enemies. He met a noble lady who was also down on her luck. At that time, the lady was only seven years old. After talking with her, the king learned that she was about to be bought by a high-ranking nobleman to be his concubine.

Wang stepped forward to defend the young lady and saved her freedom.

Ten years later, the king seized the throne, and the young lady entered the palace.

Throughout Wang's 30 years of life, he had never been attracted to any woman until he met her again when she was 17.

In the end, the two rekindled their romance and lived happily ever after.

However, stories based on the king are inevitably embellished before they spread among the people, and the truth can only ever be held by those who stand on the high ground.

The library of the Royal Academy of Asura contains a true account of this history.

The king was licentious and had been with countless women, but he was bored and eventually decided to take a liking to a noble girl he had met ten years earlier who had just entered the palace.

Later, the king died from syphilis caused by his nightly revelry in his youth. The noble girl, having lost the king's protection, could not survive in the deep palace and became addicted to opium. In the end, she perished in the illusion created by opium.

"Actually, Brienne's (the heroine of the story) former residence is in the capital, and her youngest daughter's granddaughter has been learning water magic."

Rudius said something, seemingly casually, before leaving.

In fact, classmates didn't hold much appeal for Noren. Albert would pick him up after school, so he didn't need any other friends.

In addition, Norren's identity issues also resulted in her having no friends at the Royal Academy.

The students of Royal Academy are mostly nobles and a small number of exceptionally talented commoners.

Those sons of minor nobles and commoners naturally dared not approach Noren, who was protected by the upper-class noble family of Boreas.

In the eyes of those upper-class nobles, even though Norren had the blood of the Notos family and the Milis upper-class noble family of Latorea, and was protected by the Boreas family, the child who came to the capital as a hostage was simply not worth their attention.

Minor nobles dare not provoke him, and major nobles disdain to pay him any attention—this is Norren's situation at the Royal Academy.

However, after Rudius left, Noren packed his clothes and followed him out.

Rudius's words achieved their purpose; what caught Noren's attention was the granddaughter of the youngest daughter of the heroine in his brother's story.

Like countless innocent young girls, Noren had an endless longing for the love in the story.

"Doesn't little Norlen have no classes today?"

Looking at Norren, who had already packed his schoolbag, Albert scratched his head in confusion.

Are you going to class? How about I give you a ride?

Albert said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Albert."

Noren habitually put his arm around Albert's arm, and then snuggled up to him affectionately, saying, "It would be even better if you could carry me, Lord Albert."

"How should I hug you? Like a princess?"

Albert smiled at him and picked up Norren as if he were a rag doll.

"Hmm~ Lord Albert~"

Noren, suddenly being picked up, looked satisfied. He wrapped his arms around Albert's neck and rested his head on Albert's body, but he pouted, pretending to be dissatisfied.

Albert raised his index finger and gently flicked Noren's nose, his eyes full of affection.

"Okay, let's go."

"Mmm~"

After fulfilling Noren's small request, Albert put Noren down and walked towards the door, while Noren skipped and hopped after him.

When class started, Rudius arrived at the classroom and was surprised to find Noren, as expected, in his seat.

……

Inside the manor, James was fretting over a fine horse that had been sent by the Millic delegation.

Even the most skilled horse trainer in the Boreas family couldn't tame it, but seeking help from other places, such as the Knights, would make the Boreas family look foolish and show a lack of talent.

"Hey, do you have any ideas?"

James noticed that Aysha, who was holding a plate, was staring intently at the horse, and asked, "Did Paul teach you how to train horses?"

"Reporting to Master, I only learned a little bit from my father."

Aisha bowed slightly and said, "However, this servant does have an idea."

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Please prepare for me a not-so-obedient ordinary horse, a leather whip, and an axe."

"Oh?"

James asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why do we need to prepare these things?"

"My lord, although I have learned some horse training skills from my father, I am certainly no match for the horse trainers here. Therefore, even ordinary horses may not obey my commands."

Aisha said slowly and deliberately, "So, if the horse is disobedient, I will whip the ordinary horse in front of this fine horse. If the horse is still disobedient, I will kill the ordinary horse with an axe in front of this fine horse."

"That steed is a priceless gem because it runs faster and is smarter than ordinary horses. So, to save its life, it will definitely obey. If it doesn't obey, keeping such a stupid horse will only bring shame to the Boreas family. It's better to kill it."

"Haha, as expected of Rudeus's sister, she is truly exceptionally intelligent."

James was very satisfied with Aisha's answer. At this moment, he did not look at Aisha with the same eyes he would give a servant, because it was truly amazing that a nine-year-old girl could have such thoughts.

Have you ever thought about going to school?

James asked.

"Actually, this servant wants to learn magic."

Aisha replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Actually, you don't need to be very good at it. Being just a little bit better than your brother is enough."

Chapter 257: Trying to Reconcile with My Brother

……

After class, Norren, unusually, left the classroom with Rudius.

However, she followed Rudeus closely, fidgeting and placing her small, pink hands in front of her. Whenever Rudeus turned his head, she would turn her face away, not giving her brother a friendly look.

Once inside the carriage, it was the same. After traveling for a while, Noren couldn't contain his curiosity, so he turned his little head, raised his chin, and said to Rudius, "Hey, you're taking me there, right!"

Rudius looked out the window, pretending not to hear. He understood what Noren meant; Noren was following him entirely because of the allure of that story.

Rudius did not intend to treat Noren warmly until Noren called him "brother".

"Hey!"

After the carriage had circled the inner city, Norren called out impatiently, but received no response. Rudius remained indifferent, gazing out the window.

Where are you taking me?

Norren cried out.

"Noren, do you remember what you call people older than you?"

Rudius said.

Seeing Rudius's sour face, Noren turned away angrily, and the brother and sister looked out their respective car windows, one on each side.

Is it fun to bully a child?

The carriage circled the inner city twice more, and Norren was furious, angrily pounding on the seat.

"I didn't beg you or force you to get on my carriage, did I?"

Rudius said, "You just followed me here on your own, and then you say I'm bullying you?"

"Then let me out of the car! Stop the car!"

Noren's eyes were already brimming with tears. The nine-year-old girl only now realized that she had been tricked. She had no trust in Rudius whatsoever, and now, looking at that indifferent face, she felt only fear.

"The carriage hasn't reached my destination yet, so I have no reason to stop it."

Rudius remained indifferent. "However, you can give me a reason that can convince me."

"I'm your sister, is that a valid reason?"

Norren gave the answer Rudius most wanted to hear right away, which shows that Norren still acknowledges their blood ties.

"Um……"

Rudius turned his head, his cold expression melting away with a smile. "Then what should you call me?"

"Brother...brother...brother..."

Noren was speechless for a moment, and the serious expression on her fair face was dissolved by a shy blush.

"If you're really shy, don't force yourself."

Rudius stopped the carriage, affectionately patted Noren's head, and said softly, "Alright, get out of the carriage."

"Humph!"

Noren snorted coldly, forcefully pushed away Rudius's hand, glared at him, and then got up and stepped off the carriage.

"Elder brother."
