Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

Hilfi accepted the magic crystal. It was the first time she had ever seen such a thing in person. Even the library of Lanoa Magic University had only provided illustrations, saying that it was something that could only be found in places with abundant magic, such as labyrinths, without explaining how to use it.

"This is a magic stone crystal, but Miss Hilfiet, don't underestimate it."

Oswald smiled and said, "This small piece in Miss Hilfiet's hand, once buried in the soil, is enough to make a sapling grow into a towering tree within two years."

Chapter 259: Doubt and Hesitation

……

"Within two years... a towering tree? You must be joking."

Hilfi smiled awkwardly. When she heard that word, the image that flashed through her mind made the tremor in her heart almost written on her face.

"This kind of thing is also extremely attractive to monsters. Monsters that absorb this thing will become exceptionally powerful. However, it's normal that Miss Hilfiet doesn't know about it."

Oswald spread his hands and said, "After all, this kind of thing isn't even recorded in detail in the general book of magic. It's something that only a few people in the royal family can access. Moreover, even Princess Gravel or Princess Ariel probably haven't seen it."

"Since it's something only royalty can access, why do you have it too?"

Hilfi paused for a moment, suddenly feeling that she was getting closer and closer to the truth, but that truth was just a wild guess she had made many years ago.

But she was not blinded by her delusions and remained calm. She returned the magic crystal to Oswarud and said, "Besides, Mr. Oswarud seems to know a lot about my past."

"Miss Hilfiet is indeed very perceptive."

Oswald praised it as he put the magic crystal back into the cabinet.

"Let me answer Miss Hilfiet's question first."

Oswald smiled calmly, removing the honorifics from his words to make them sound more approachable.

"The Aiuros family acts as a front man in relation to the Asura royal family. They may not be involved in everything that happens underground in Asura, but they will definitely report back to the royal family. So it's not surprising that the Aiuros family would be involved in this kind of thing."

Hilfi nodded quietly, and Oswald continued, "Of course, I haven't investigated Miss Hilfiette's matter in detail, but my elder sister has put in a lot of effort."

"Miss Lilith..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hilfi's bright eyes. "What did Miss Lilith find out?"

This was the closest Sylphie had ever come to the truth, and as Oswald uttered those words, Sylphie subconsciously began to choose to believe.

"I wonder if Miss Hilfiet has heard of the story of Pilemon taking Alice as a concubine."

[Note: See Chapters 5 through 10 for details.]

"I've heard a little about it before."

"But what does that have to do with this magic crystal? Why is Miss Lilith investigating all this?" asked Silphie.

“As I just said, apart from the royal family, other nobles have almost no access to these things. At that time, Pilemon accidentally bought such a magic stone crystal from a merchant on the continent of Becalit.

Oswald glanced at Sylphie's expression and continued, "Because of its high price and exquisite appearance, Pilemon often showed it off. When Uncle Philip found out, he bought the magic crystal under the pretense of marrying off his daughter. However, after receiving the magic crystal, he changed his mind and gave the Notos family's caravan away..."

“Philip…”

Sylphie's thoughts were instantly disrupted, and countless past "wild thoughts" were brought to the surface.

"I remember when Philip married off his daughter, it was shortly after Rudy turned ten. Apparently, he was already..."

"I knew it! I shouldn't have eavesdropped. I'm the one who got Mom and Dad into this mess..."

“Philip…”

“Philip…”

Her mind was getting increasingly confused, and Hilfi could barely hear anything anymore.

But having survived so many brushes with death, her expression remained unchanged, as calm as a stagnant pool.

Unseen by Oswald, Hilfi's fists were clenched tightly, her nails digging into her fair skin without her noticing, blood staining the blue dress near her arms.

What good will it do you to tell me all this?

Hilfi coldly said, "I'm starting to suspect that you're a member of the Princess's faction who's infiltrated the Prince's faction, and that you came to me to sow discord within the Boreas family."

She felt that continuing to think that way would lead to problems, so she changed the subject. She also reminded herself that there might be some truth and some falsehood in what Oswald said, and she shouldn't be led by the nose.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Oswald laughed licentiously, "The Princess's faction is beyond saving now, isn't it? The Aiuros family isn't that stupid."

"squeak……"

At that moment, the study door was pushed open, and a man with a full head of short, gray hair entered the room.

This man wasn't as tall as Oswald, and his face even bore a resemblance to Philip's.

“I am Gordon Aiuros Greirat. People from the Boreas family are not welcome here, especially those related to Philip.”

[Note: Gorden first appeared in Chapter 143 (Lilith's Side Story).]

He glared at Silphie and said, "I ask you to leave here immediately."

"Father..."

"Oswald, see the guest out!"

"boom!"

Just as Oswald was about to defend himself, he was interrupted by Gordon's rebuke and the sound of him slamming the door and leaving.

He glanced at Sylphie helplessly and said, "I'm so sorry, let me see you off."

In his words, Oswald switched back to honorifics, and this time Silphie's face showed apology, probably because she sensed the change in the other's word choice.

Hilfi didn't say anything extra, only respectfully saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Oswald," before consciously walking out.

……

Oswald escorted Sylphie out of the manor, and as they reached the carriage parked in front of the estate gate, he suddenly spoke to Sylphie.

"Um, Miss Hilfiet, I'm so sorry about earlier."

“My father harbors resentment towards Uncle Philip because of my sister’s situation, and now he is extremely disgusted with the Boreas family, especially those related to Uncle Philip. I hope Miss Hilfiet can understand.”

Oswald explained, deliberately lowering his voice.

“Miss Lilith sacrificed herself to protect Rudy; it had nothing to do with Lord Philip.”

"That's what Hilfi said."

“Miss Hilfiet should also know that even if Uncle Philip was not directly involved in that matter, he was definitely involved. Therefore, my father, and I myself, regard Uncle Philip as an enemy.”

Oswald looked sincerely at Sylphie, "Based on the investigation materials left by my elder sister, I deduced that Miss Sylphie also had a grudge against Uncle Philip, which is why I tried to contact Miss Sylphie..."

Does Rudy know?

"Hilfi asked."

Oswald secretly observed Sylphie's eyes, "Miss Sylphie means..."

“I mean everything, from my parents to Miss Lilith later.”

"That's what Hilfi said."

"Although my conclusions and information were left behind by my elder sister before she went to Lanoa, based on my understanding of her, I estimate that she will tell Mr. Rudius."

Oswalud said.

"I see. Then I'll trouble you to take me to Royal Academy."

Sylphie's expression remained calm as always, but her wine-red eyes no longer shone as brightly as before, and tears welled up in her eyes. She urged the carriage to hurry up, not wanting to let her tears flow in front of others.

"Perhaps Rudy already knew... but I just didn't know..."

"vomit……"

A sudden wave of inexplicable sadness washed over her, and Silphie felt her chest churning. For the first time, she felt an inexplicable urge to vomit, a reaction that could indeed occur in a state of extreme grief.

She composed herself and waited for Noren to finish class at Royal Academy before taking him home.

"Rudy... I hope you don't know about those things either..."

……

"Um... hope... Xi... Xilufiette... Sister, Miss?"

Norren puffed out his cheeks shyly and looked at Sylphie.

Since she reconciled with Rudeus, she felt much closer to Sylphie, but she only addressed Sylphie as "Miss Sylphie" and could never bring herself to call her "Sister Sylphie".

She was now thinking of trying to call her by that name because Sylphie's expression had been rather unpleasant ever since she picked her up and got into the carriage, and she kept staring out the window, making the atmosphere inside the carriage somewhat suffocating.

This wasn't the same situation Rudius had been in before, where he would deliberately ignore everyone by looking out the window. Noren's woman's intuition told her that in this state, Silphi could only be described as "terrifying."

"Could it be that you angered Sister Sylphie because of a conflict with a classmate at school?"

Noren, still pondering this, tentatively asked again, "Sylphie... Sister..."

"Ah, Noren, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Hilfi turned her face away and forced a smile.

"Um, I'm sorry, Silphie, sister..."

Noren lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Faced with the sudden apology, Hilfi was somewhat bewildered, and at that moment a dangerous thought surfaced in her mind.

"Could it be that Norren and the Aiolos family also have connections?"

She muttered to herself, then tentatively asked Noren, "Why is little Noren apologizing?"

"Because I didn't study hard at school, I got into conflicts with my classmates, I embarrassed the Boreas family, and I made Sister Sylphie angry."

The words "Sister Hilfi" slipped out of Noren's mouth. Hilfi looked at that pitiful little face and those clear, light green eyes that were like sparkling gems, as if Rudy were acting cute in front of her.

Moreover, the phrase "Sister Hilfi" was something Hilfi hadn't heard since she went to Lanoa.

"Noren, you've misunderstood."

Hearing Norren's innocent words, she dispelled her worries and gently stroked Norren's soft hair to comfort her, "I was just thinking about Rudy."

The setting sun shone through the car window onto Hilfi's smiling face, the golden light tinged with a dark red, and a few glistening water droplets seemed to be glistening at the corners of her beautiful eyes.

……

After returning to the mansion, she would have dinner, then do some things she hadn't finished during the day, and finally go to sleep. This simple and ordinary life was the daily routine of a young lady confined to her chambers.

Hilfi never let her expression appear stiff, nor did she let others sense anything unusual. She just went about her day as usual, not saying much, eating quietly, reading a book after eating, and then going to sleep.

Unlike before, since returning to Asura from Lanoa, Hilfi seems to always find a way to calm herself down quickly.

“I don’t know how much of what Oswald said was credible, but at the time I seemed to believe it completely.”

Hilfi muttered to herself as she drew the curtains, blocking out the dark night sky.

She pulled out the yellowed prescription from under her pillow and stared at it silently. Her gaze remained fixed on the first line of text, and she didn't even notice what was written on it.

"Let's wait for Rudy to come back... We'll figure out a way to confirm it when Rudy gets back."

"If it's true..."

……

Fifteen days later, Albert and his party settled in Greppe, the central city of the Milpotz territory and a wine town.

The powerful faction of the Notos family, represented by Robert Notos Greirat, and the faction of the regent ministers and princes, represented by Albert Boreas Greirat, the regent envoy, quickly sat down on opposite sides of the negotiating table.

Albert sat in the guest seat, while Rudius and Izzo stood on either side.

Rob sat in the main seat, with a very luxurious lineup behind him, including the Northern Emperor Obel, the Northern King Vita, and the Northern Saint Jade and the two brothers Nakur.

When I entered the city gate, I was greeted by the brothers Saint Jad of the North and Nakur. Later, I met King Vita of the North and Emperor Ober of the North.

Apart from the Northern Emperor Ober, the other three were not mentioned in the intelligence. Albert and Rudius exchanged a smile, and they finally understood why Robert Notos Greirat had the confidence to challenge Prince Gravel.
