"Your Highness said that you would not interfere with what Miss Luo Qixi and I do. I hope Your Highness will not go back on your word."
Rudeus suddenly raised his voice and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving Miss Loki Migrudia the opportunity to enter the hall!"
"Hmph, brat."
Gravel was so angry at Rudeus's antics that he was both amused and exasperated. He punched Rudeus on the shoulder and went to the side of the table. James, watching from below the stage, was terrified and couldn't help but sweat for Rudeus's outrageous behavior.
"Rudy..."
As Luo Qixi watched Rudeus lead her by the hand and walk into the main hall, her heart was filled with complex emotions. She didn't know what kind of feelings she was going to have; her mind was completely blank.
"Demon! Get out!"
Just then, the guard who had just criticized Luo Qixi suddenly shouted. Luo Qixi looked again at the nearly one hundred ministers below the stage, and the malice on their faces was obvious.
In an instant, she felt as if she had been pierced by hundreds of arrows or magic spells, leaving her with an empty void. Her palms were sweating uncontrollably, and her body was trembling uncontrollably without her even realizing it.
It was as if he wasn't in the royal palace of the Silver Palace of Ars, the capital of the Asura Kingdom, but trapped deep in a maze. His teammates had all died in battle; some had their heads chopped off by goblins, some had their bodies pierced by traps, some had half their bodies eaten by monsters, and some had been smashed by rubble, leaving only one hand sticking out.
He watched helplessly as hundreds of monsters attacked him, hundreds of traps were set up beneath his feet, and hundreds of pebbles fell from above, about to hit him.
"Gentlemen, I am Rudius Boreas Grerat, the Supervising Minister who is currently suspended from his post. You are all surely aware of Darius's crimes. Those things did indeed happen. Chancellor Darius colluded with Bishop Milis of Greppu to assassinate the Regent, the Kipchak Albert Boreas Grerat. He did not hesitate to provoke a war and used the deployment of the Milis Instructional Knights within the kingdom as a bargaining chip, all to suppress his political enemies. He committed an act of treason that can be described as unforgivable."
Rudeus's voice drowned out the ministers' chatter about the demon girl beside him, but Luo Qixi seemed not to hear it at all, her body still trembling.
Luo Qixi seemed to see the monsters that wanted her life getting closer and closer, and she couldn't even feel Rudeus holding her hand.
“These crimes could have been announced a few days ago, but they were delayed until today due to some unfounded evidence.”
Rudeus said, "There is not a single law in the Kingdom of Asura that prohibits demons. The enlightened laws of the Kingdom of Asura even stipulate that demons can enter the Silver Palace to meet His Majesty the King on an equal footing with other races."
"However, something contrary to the spirit of the laws of the Kingdom of Asura has happened. The trial of the traitor has been temporarily suspended because of my close relationship with this Miss Lochishi Migrudia."
As he spoke, Rudius put his arm around Luo Qixi's shoulder and said loudly:
"I want to ask everyone, what crime has she committed?"
Suddenly, Luo Qixi looked up and seemed to see a ray of sunlight shining into the depths of the maze where she was trapped. In the sunlight, a man's back was blocking her way.
Chapter 312: The Scenery Outside the Maze
Jobless Reincarnation Fanfic: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events [Chapter 312] The Scenery Outside the Labyrinth
Chapter 312: The Scenery Outside the Maze
......
Under the sunlight that pierced through the dark labyrinth, a tall figure, barely visible, stood in front of Luo Qixi.
The girl had dreamed countless times about her future partner, whether handsome or talented. The adventurer who would step forward and rescue her when she was trapped in the labyrinth, in her most desperate and helpless moment, might just be the partner of her dreams.
"Then what crime has she committed? If it were any other woman, even if there were some improper relationship, it probably wouldn't affect me. But she is just a kind and pure girl. She has not made any mistakes. Just because she is a demon, it affects the trial of a major case. How shameful is that?"
Rudius, facing the dazzling lights of the hall and the assembled officials below, stood like a shield before Loki, saying, "Race is not an excuse. Humans are born with distinctions of rank and status, but never of superiority or inferiority. The enlightened and sacred Kingdom of Asura understands this well. Therefore, the spirit of the Kingdom of Asura's laws respects the friendly unity of all peoples and the equal right of all races to live on the land of Asura..."
"Pfft, hahaha..."
At this moment, Rudius's speech was suddenly interrupted by the jeers of a minister in the audience. The minister's neurotic, pointed, horse-like face trembled incessantly with the laughter, and his loose, dry, yellow hair was glossy and shiny with hair wax.
"She was born a demon, that's a sin. It's like how we are born nobles, which makes us superior to commoners. You actually defend a despicable demon? That's an unheard-of joke, hahahahahaha."
The minister's mockery drew laughter from the other ministers, and the once quiet hall was instantly filled with laughter.
James sat silently picking at his fingernails, wondering how Rudius would handle the situation. Gravel leaned against the wall with an indifferent expression, as if he were enjoying the drama.
Luo Qixi seemed to see countless demons rushing towards the man in front of her, biting his body, but the man remained motionless, like a shield blocking her way. She suddenly realized that the hand he was holding tightly, the body he was embracing, felt such warmth and security for the first time.
"Tsk..."
Rudius paused for a moment, his gaze instantly turning icy cold, as if the people before him were not ministers, but nameless corpses he had frozen into ice sculptures in Lanoa years ago.
At the same time, a tremendous surge of magical pressure filled the entire palace. The guards placed their hands on their sword hilts, but their bodies were frozen in place, unable to move. The sense of panic made them feel as if their lives were no longer their own. The ministers stopped their mocking laughter. They could not utter a sound. Under the suffocating fear of death, the hall was completely silent.
"Ha, pigs in clothes."
Rudeus sneered, "Since you all believe that demons are born sinful and that bloodline determines everything, then I will use my noble bloodline to warn you that my father is a direct descendant of the Notos family and my mother is the daughter of the upper-class noble Latoria of Milis."
"And now, my fiancée is the eldest daughter of the Bereas family, and I also possess the Bereas family name. From this day forward, this Miss Lochishi Migrudia will also be my fiancée. Her bloodline will no longer be a sin, and her status will be incomparably noble. I, Rudius Bereas Grerat, swear in the name of Bereas that any insult or unfounded accusation against Lochishi Migrudia will be nullified, and any provocation against Lochishi Migrudia will be a provocation against Bereas. If there is any offense, Bereas will never tolerate it!"
After Rudius finished speaking, the ministers below the hall all looked toward James, who was seated at the head of the table.
James slowly rose to his feet under the watchful eyes of the crowd. His gaze met Rudeus's, and he seemed to see the determination in Rudeus's eyes. He smiled helplessly, walked to Rudeus's side, turned to face the audience, and said, "In the name of the head of the Boreas family, I acknowledge Loki Migrudia's membership in the Boreas family."
"Quickly thank her, Luo Qixi."
Rudeus shook Luo Qixi's shoulders twice. At this moment, Luo Qixi had not yet reacted, as if she was still in the maze. However, the handsome and tall adventurer had already embraced her. They slayed monsters and stepped over traps along the way, finally reaching the exit of the maze. The dazzling light pierced her pupils, and she could barely open her eyes, but she could still barely see the outside world.
"Although I took it upon myself to make Luo Qixi my fiancée, the choice is yours. If it goes against your wishes, Luo Qixi can refuse."
Luo Qixi felt that Rudeus's face was very close to her at this moment, but she had no intention of being disgusted or avoiding it.
"Thank you, Rudy."
She didn't seem to refuse, but at this moment, she didn't know what was going on in her heart. It was an indescribable feeling. Perhaps she had been waiting for the person who would rescue her from the labyrinth. Maybe Rudeus wasn't the one, but maybe he was.
"Therefore, my association with Miss Lochishi Migrudia no longer constitutes evidence against me as the Minister of the Censorate. Now, in my capacity as the Minister of the Censorate, all the evidence against Prime Minister Darius is in force, and the Kingdom of Asura will impose severe sanctions on him!"
After Rudius finished speaking, the audience fell silent. After a while, the eleven or twelve-year-old Inspector began to applaud, followed by the officials of the Inspectorate. Finally, applause resounded in every corner of the hall.
Hearing the applause from below the stage, Luo Qixi unconsciously nestled in Rudeus's arms, tightly gripping the hem of Rudeus's clothes, gently closing her eyes, her snow-white, smooth forehead pressed against Rudeus's chest, her choked throat unable to utter a sound.
She wasn't sure if she was crying, but she felt that this was the first time she had ever experienced such a scene, and perhaps the only time in her life.
"Although we were able to suppress this situation this time thanks to the power of the Boreas family, we must not do it again next time."
James whispered to Rudius.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Rudius said.
"Think carefully about how to explain this to your parents."
James patted Rudius on the shoulder, shrugged with relief as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and returned to his seat.
Chapter 313: Encirclement

Chapter 313: Encirclement
......
After speaking, Rudius put his arm around Lochie's shoulder and walked to the side seat. Gravel went up on stage again and gave the order to attack the army that had surrounded Darius's prime minister's residence.
At this moment, the officials and ministers below the main hall were all seated, waiting for the scene of the army breaking through the prime minister's residence and capturing Darius.
Rudeus looked at Gravel in front of the platform, and Gravel gave Rudeus a signal. Rudeus then pulled Loki away from the main hall in front of the king.
"Rudy, that was a bit sudden, I..."
After boarding the carriage, Luo Qixi suddenly realized that she was now Rudeus's fiancée and found it hard to accept. Looking at Rudeus's face, she was unsure which role to take when interacting with him.
Is she a teacher? A friend? A lover? Or her actual fiancée?
“It’s okay, I said I’ll give Luo Qixi a chance to change her mind.”
Rudius sniffed and explained, "Now that you, Luo Qixi, have the protection of the Boreas family, my offer to make Luo Qixi my fiancée is just a stepping stone."
That's true...
Luo Qixi could understand Rudius's explanation, but this sudden and abrupt development in their relationship was quite abrupt for her. Her mind was still blank, and the experience just now felt like a dream.
Rudeus defended his demonic identity before the assembled officials and Prince Gravel, even risking uttering incomprehensible words to the royal court, thus rescuing himself from a predicament surrounded by layers of malice.
Faced with Rudeus like this, even if Rudeus were to extend a marriage invitation to her, she probably wouldn't have any reason to refuse.
"Um, Rudy, where are we going next?"
Luo Qixi did not continue the previous topic. Although she did not reject Rudeus's statement, she was not sure what Rudeus really thought of her. If she went out of her way with great enthusiasm, but Rudeus did not have the same idea, wouldn't she be very embarrassed?
Moreover, Rudeus has two pregnant fiancées at home. If my relationship with Rudeus were to progress further at this time, I suddenly felt like I was taking advantage of his vulnerability, as if I were doing something wrong.
"Let's go to the place where Luo Qixi lived a few days ago when she was still 'Eileen'."
Rudius said, "After all, Darius's residence has a figure like the water goddess. Although it is uncertain whether she will take action, His Highness Gravel does not want his righteous army to be defeated by the other side, and he will become a laughing stock in the capital. At that time, Asura's royal court will lose face."
"Although even someone as powerful as the Water God might not be able to defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers, not to mention the possibility of using combination magic arrays and other things, now is the time to put this secret weapon to use."
"Secret weapon?"
Luo Qixi suddenly remembered that there was a taciturn and unsightly young lady living in the former Yerosnek family mansion. She was Miss Izoruti, the Water God King-level swordswoman who smashed a wine bottle on her when they first met a few months ago.
"Rudy telling me all this, aren't you afraid it will have a negative impact...?"
Luo Qixi looked out the window with some concern and said.
"After tonight, these things will no longer be secrets."
The carriage drove into the courtyard, and Aisha came out to greet it with a group of servants. Rudeus stepped down from the carriage and once again extended his hand to Loki, making an inviting gesture.
This time, Luo Qixi did not hesitate and gently placed her palm on Rudeus's palm.
"Luo Qixi can stay here for now. I'll bring her over after I've made arrangements over there in a few days. Or, if Luo Qixi wants to continue being the tavern owner, that's fine too."
As Rudius walked into the inner room, he said, "However, I don't mean to force Luo Qixi. Of course, if you, Luo Qixi, are willing, that would be perfect."
Hearing Rudeus emphasize it again and again, Luo Qixi felt as if a layer of cold water had been poured over her heart, to the point that she ignored the second half of Rudeus's words. But she was conflicted, so she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly and stammered, "Okay... alright, I'll consider it."
"Miss Luo Qixi, please come with me."
Immediately afterwards, Aisha cleverly pulled Luo Qixi into the bedroom.
Rudius had his back turned the whole time and didn't see the slight blush on Luo Qixi's face.
"Rudius!"
Hearing the commotion outside the courtyard, Isorti came out of the room with her sword in hand. "I've heard about it. Let's go."
"Yeah, with such a commotion on the street, it would be strange if you hadn't heard about it."
Rudius walked up to Izzo and said, "Darius has now been tried and confirmed as the murderer of Albert, but we are still one step away from bringing him to justice."
"All I want now is revenge for Albert."
Before Rudeus could continue speaking, Isorti boarded Rudeus's carriage.
Ever since she personally killed someone, her words have always carried a cold aura, and her style of doing things has become even more ruthless than before. Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is her clothing style, which remains the same as before: a simple white linen Water God Style tunic top and black wide-leg pants.
Rudius followed Izoruti's steps, and the carriage began to head towards Darius's residence.
The carriage headed toward the street closest to the Silver Palace. Before it even reached it, soldiers in Zeferos armor were already seen marching along the street. Perhaps because they saw the three-headed dragon emblem of Gravel on the carriage, no one stopped it.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and a shockwave shaped like a blade radiated outward from the front of Darius's mansion. Houses within dozens of meters were instantly reduced to ruins, and dozens of soldiers were blown into the air by the shockwave, exploding into limbs in mid-air. Crimson rain poured down on the ground.
"Waaaaah!!!"
"Slay the traitor Darius! Charge!"
The bugle call sounded at the front, and soldiers surged forward like a tide, braving the rain of blood.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Several more shockwaves blasted another hundred soldiers into the air, turning them into a rain of blood as they fell to the ground.
"Are you prepared to draw your sword against the Water God?"
Rudius asked.
"No, but I'd like to try."
Izuru tied her long, smooth hair back, grabbed her sword, and jumped off the moving carriage.
"Rudius, if I come back alive, I will pay you the rest of the reward."
