Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"Is there a problem?"

Rudius asked.

"Didn't you see the huge commotion just now?"

The swordsman explained, "Prince Gravel said that everything hinges on this moment, and now he wants me to summon you to the Silver Palace to expose Darius's crimes!"

"what?"

Rudius scratched his head in confusion. "How come I didn't know that?"

"Let His Highness explain those things to you personally. Time is of the essence, let's hurry."

As he spoke, the swordsman glanced at Luo Qixi, who was standing to the side with her hands unsure of what to do, and immediately drew his sword. "Prince Gravel has already ordered you to deal with her. Hasn't he done it yet? I'll do it for you."

"no!"

Rudius stepped forward to block Luo Qixi's path, tightly grasping her hand. "I'm taking her with me to see His Highness!"

Chapter 310: The Thorn Prince

......

"You...you're insane...Lord Rudeus..."

The swordsman suddenly felt that Rudius's words were so outlandish. At the crucial moment when Prince Gravel was launching a full-scale attack on Darius, he actually wanted to bring a demon woman to see Prince Gravel.

"Lord Rudius, I advise you not to gamble with your future."

The swordsman cautioned, "By doing this, you are gambling with His Highness Nagravel's trust in you."

"Rudy, how about I..."

Luo Qixi shook Rudeus's hand, which was holding her, trying to pull it away, but the other party was very strong, and her struggle only made her hand hurt a little.

“If His Highness Gravel trusted me, he wouldn’t have kept such a thing from me.”

Rudius's expression instantly turned cold. He glanced back at Luo Qixi, then turned and stared intently into the swordsman's eyes, saying, "Even a subject has things he cannot touch when serving his lord. So what if she is a demon? If I abandon her, then my loyalty, Prince Gravel, will truly be questionable."

"Okay, come with me."

The swordsman stopped trying to persuade Rudeus, turned around and got into the carriage, and Rudeus followed with Loki.

On the way to the Silver Palace, the swordsman sat in the driver's seat, while Rudeus and Loki sat in the back.

"Rudy, are you really going to go against His Highness the First Prince for my sake?"

Luo Qixi gazed at Rudeus with a deep look in her eyes, her voice filled with worry, "I really don't deserve Rude's help. Perhaps we should take advantage of the current weakness at the city gates and..."

"Now that we've met again, how could I possibly let Luo Qixi go?"

Rudius reached out and patted Luo Qixi's head, saying, "As for Prince Gravel, I naturally have a way to deal with him. Why don't we talk about something else?"

"Let's talk about something else..."

Luo Qixi didn't mind Rudeus stroking her forehead; instead, a delicate pink blush rose on her fair cheeks. "Rude said I saved you three times, but I remember I only participated twice..."

"You should also count the time when Teacher Luo Qixi took me out of the house, otherwise I might still be a shut-in now, and I would never have met Xilufei, Alice, or met Teacher Luo Qixi again."

Rudius said.

"You called me teacher again..."

Luo Qixi lowered her head, looking somewhat unhappy. "Then I'll stay here with Rudy, but Rudy absolutely cannot call me teacher anymore."

"Yes, my dear Miss Luo Qixi."

Rudius smiled and reached out again, lifting Luo Qixi's light blue hair and stroking her smooth, white forehead.

"He's so glib, always using such ambiguous words. I wonder how many times Rudy has said that to Sylphie and Miss Alice."

Luo Qixi looked at Rudeus's hand that was touching her forehead with her bright blue eyes and pouted, "I'm already so old, but Rudeus still treats me like a girl."

"Ahem, Lord Rudeus, we're almost there. Have you figured out how to explain this to His Highness?"

As a youthful, pinkish atmosphere gradually filled the carriage, the swordsman sitting in front of the carriage coughed lightly, once again interrupting this beautiful moment.

"Don't worry about me, I know."

Rudius said.

......

The carriage drove into the passageway in front of the East Palace. This was Luo Qixi's first time entering the Silver Palace. However, she had no mind to admire the grandeur of the Silver Palace. Instead, her eyes were fixed on the man named Rudius Boreas Greirat in front of her.

"Why is Rudy so confident? He seems to have everything under control."

Luo Qixi observed Rudius's eyebrows, nose, mouth, and eyes; no one had ever been so worthy of her attention.

"I think I'm acting a little strange..."

Luo Qixi was momentarily confused and didn't even realize that the carriage had stopped in front of the palace until Rudius jumped off the carriage and extended his hand to Luo Qixi in an inviting gesture.

"Although this is the Silver Palace, Luo Qixi, you don't need to feel reserved. More than ten years ago, you took me out of my home, so today I will lead you to step onto the bricks of this Silver Palace."

Rudius said.

"Rudy... um..."

Upon suddenly hearing Rudeus's words, Luo Qixi felt an unexpected warmth in her heart. Her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She took Rudeus's outstretched hand and stepped down from the carriage. For the first time, her feet, which came from a remote village deep in the Demon Continent, touched the platinum floor tiles of the East Palace of the Silver Palace.

Rudeus held Luo Qixi's hand tightly and stepped into the main hall.

"Tsk..."

Gravel sat on a chair in front of the main hall. Seeing Rudeus's disheveled appearance and the sight of him walking into the hall hand in hand with the demon girl with the light blue three-strand braid, Gravel felt annoyed and his face showed an undisguised look of disgust.

"Rudeus, I ordered you to make her disappear, but you brought her here instead. What, do you want to take a demon as a concubine and have me, the prince, officiate at the wedding?"

Gravel looked at Rudius with great displeasure. "You have disappointed this prince."

“I’m sorry, Your Highness Gravel, but I have something I’d like to say to you.”

Rudeus knelt on one knee, raised his head, and said respectfully, "Your Highness Gravel should know my past. This Miss Lochishi Migludia, although she is a demon and not generally loved by our Asura Kingdom, she is of great significance to me. She has been my most important teacher for a long time and is also an important person to me."

Upon hearing the word "important person," Luo Qixi was startled and shyly covered her mouth. Gravel remained silent, his hands resting on his knees as he groped and adjusted the hem of his clothes, seemingly pondering something, and chose to continue listening to Rudeus.

“This Miss Lokishi Migludia was not only my most important mentor, teaching me magic and helping me step out of my home for the first time, but she also saved my life twice. If I could kill or banish such an important teacher to me because of the prejudice of the Kingdom of Asura against her race, what kind of loyalty would I have? Doesn't Your Highness feel like you're burning your hands when you're ordering your subjects around? Your Highness…”

"enough."

Gravel interrupted Rudeus, "You, Rudeus, how dare you threaten this prince!"

"Your subject dares not."

Large beads of sweat rolled down Rudius's forehead and dripped onto the ground.

"I truly admire your willingness to go to such lengths for a woman from the demon race."

As he spoke, Gravel glanced at Luo Qixi out of the corner of his eye, then his expression suddenly changed. He drew his sword, lifted Rudeus's chin, and said, "This prince has no time to listen to your heartfelt words. I will no longer care what you and this demon do in the future. Now go do what you should do, Rudeus."

Having said that, Gravel got up and walked out of the palace, got into his carriage and headed towards the Silver Palace's main hall.

"Thank you... thank you, Your Highness! Eh? Eh?"

Rudius was about to turn around and kowtow when he was surrounded by a group of maids. Within two minutes, his hair was combed, his face was wiped clean, and he was dressed in a brand new dress, completely changing his disheveled appearance from before.

"His Highness Gravel is waiting for you in the main hall. As for Miss Luo Qixi, please stay here."

"That's what the maid said."

"No."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Rudeus's refusal, Luo Qixi was stunned for a moment, but before she could recover, Rudeus pulled her onto the carriage heading to the royal palace.

Chapter 311: What crime has she committed?

......

On the way to the royal palace, Luo Qixi glanced nervously at Rudeus and unconsciously tugged at the hem of her black and white maid outfit.

She felt somewhat unable to fathom Rudius's thoughts. It was one thing for him to introduce her to the prince, but now he was taking her to the royal palace as well.

That would be more than just meeting the prince; it would likely involve meeting His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Asura, along with a hundred or so officials from the lowest ranks to the highest.

Having lived for over fifty years, I've picked beans in the wilderness of the Demon Continent and taught princes on the sacred path of the royal palace in the Kingdom of Xilong, but this is my first time experiencing the royal palace of the world's strongest nation, the Kingdom of Asura.

Although there was some novelty involved, in this place where discrimination against demons was no less than that in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, the consciousness of discrimination against demons was deeply rooted in the hearts of the royal family. The undisguised disgust on his face when he met Gravel earlier was probably a very restrained expression.

Thinking of this, Luo Qixi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Although she had long been used to the cold treatment of demons by humans, and had even lived in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, a place where discrimination against demons was most severe, she had also encountered setbacks everywhere when seeking employment in the Kingdom of Asra after graduating from the Lanoa Magic University.

Therefore, even though Luo Qixi had become accustomed to the exclusion and indifference that humans showed towards demons, she still felt some resistance and even fear in her heart.

As she drew closer to the royal palace, Luo Qixi felt a little dizzy. She couldn't imagine what it would be like when Rudeus led her into the palace. Would the ministers insult and mock her like the harsh people she had encountered before, or would she be driven out by the guards in the palace?

Upon reaching the side gate of the main hall, the carriage came to a smooth stop. Rudius stepped down from the carriage and, as if in front of the main hall of the East Palace, extended his palm to Loki as an invitation.

But this time, Luo Qixi remained unmoved.

“If I go, I’ll cause Rudy trouble. I’ll stay here and wait for Rudy.”

Luo Qixi looked at the person extending an invitation to her with tears welling up in her eyes, her expression pitiful.

"The world is inherently unequal. If you put an unnecessary shackle on yourself, it's too cruel."

Rudeus stepped onto the carriage and reached out to grab Luo Qixi's slender arm. "Just now I led Luo Qixi onto the bricks of this Silver Palace. Now I will lead Luo Qixi to face the will of this Silver Palace."

"Rudy...."

Luo Qixi suddenly felt as if she hadn't heard such innocent words in a long time, and these words came from the mouth of Rudeus, who, after returning to the capital, could make people feel extremely cold just by looking directly at him.

"Trust me, Luo Qixi."

Rudius looked into the corner of Luo Qixi's eye, as if a thousand layers of heat in his chest wanted to be transmitted to the other person.

"I....."

Luo Qixi hesitated before taking Rudius's hand, but when their fingertips touched and their palms met, her eyes hardened. "I believe in Rudius."

Rudeus took Loki's hand and led her down from the carriage. Two guards at the side gate of the main hall saw Rudeus and hurried over to greet him.

"Lord Rudius, you've finally arrived! His Highness has been waiting for you."

As one of the guards spoke, he led Rudeus and Loki into the main hall, but before they had taken two steps, another guard grabbed Loki's arm and said, "How dare demons go to the royal palace?"

Then, he looked at Luo Qixi's maid outfit and said jokingly, "Although I didn't know that Lord Rudeus had a hobby of having demons as maids, no matter how much Lord Rudeus dotes on you, you shouldn't forget who you are. You stay here, and Lord Rudeus will go in."

"Whether it's the national law of the Kingdom of Asura or the ironclad rules of the Silver Palace, there probably isn't a rule prohibiting demons from entering the palace."

Rudius pushed aside the soldier blocking Lochisi and said with a dark expression, "I also work under His Highness Gravel, and I am a descendant of the Boreas family. Who do you think you are? His Highness hasn't said anything, so how dare you point fingers at me? Get out of my way!"

The guard, after being repeatedly reprimanded by Rudius, cowered behind him like a mouse before a cat, too afraid to move.

Seeing this, another guard quickly apologized to Rudeus and Loki, and pulled the other guard to bow together, saying, "He is a newcomer who doesn't know the rules. Please don't mind him, Mr. Rudeus and this young lady. His Highness is already waiting for you."

After saying that, the four of them continued walking forward.

"Her name is Doristina, and she is the daughter of the Horpto family."

As soon as Rudius and Lochie entered the corridor through the side door, they heard Gravel's voice.

"Doristina....."

Rudius only remembered what James meant by "rabbit" when he heard the name.

"It turns out James was already hinting at it, but I was thinking about other things."

As Rudius muttered to himself, he heard the cries of parents and daughters reuniting in the hall. The Holput family was now the new financial manager of the kingdom after the Yerosnek family, and their power in the capital was not what it used to be.

As they drew closer to the main hall, the sounds grew clearer, including not only Gravel's reading of Darius's crimes, but also the horrified voices of the ministers.

"Darius, as prime minister, actually imprisoned and trafficked noble children without authorization. This is a serious crime among serious crimes. But are these the only sins he committed?"

"Darius also colluded with the second son of the Zephyrus family, Maccanon Zephyrus Grellat, to smuggle opium. Now, this thief Maccanon has been executed on the spot, and the royal army has surrounded Darius's mansion. The crimes to be announced next will be the clarion call for the royal army of justice to attack!"

Gravel caught a glimpse of Rudeus entering the main hall from the corridor out of the corner of his eye, and continued, "Now, let the superior overseer Rudeus continue to enumerate Darius's crimes!"

Immediately afterwards, Rudeus pulled Lokishi up into the main hall. Seeing this, Gravel glared at Rudeus, pulled him aside, and whispered in his ear, "Am I being too lenient with you? What do you mean by this?"
