Alice hugged the wooden sword to her chest and began to stomp her feet softly. "I haven't been to the Knights for a long time since I got pregnant with them."
"If you all go out, what will happen to them?"
At this moment, Luo Qixi walked over, observed Rudeus's expression, leaned down, and gently poked Ars's chubby little face, "Although the First Madam has already found a wet nurse, the absence of his biological mother will still have some impact."
"That's true..."
Upon hearing this, both Hilfi and Alice looked troubled. As first-time mothers, they had things they wanted to do after having a child, but the thought of leaving their child alone at home made them uneasy.
"As for the young master and his two daughters, Miss Hilfi and Miss Alice can rest assured to leave them at home. I will take good care of them."
Seeing the two "young mistresses" struggling with their dilemma, Lilia took a step forward, but unexpectedly received a glare from Rudius, who then added, "However, I think that Miss Alice is naturally lively and active. Staying at home to take care of the children would be a good way to temper her personality. As a mother, there are still many things she needs to learn. Therefore, I suggest that Miss Alice stay at home."
“Lilia is right.”
As soon as Lilia finished speaking, Rudeus immediately chimed in, "Alice is going to be a gentle mother so that she can raise a gentle daughter."
"Why does my daughter have to be a lady?"
Alice was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't argue further. She threw the wooden sword on the ground, shook the crimson waterfall above her head, and returned to the mansion.
During lunch, James finally had some free time to discuss the wedding arrangements with Hilda, Paul, and Senis. He mentioned that he had just received a letter from Philip, who might be coming to the capital from the territory of Fituia next month.
Due to the various upheavals that had occurred before, coupled with the great disaster in the winter territory, the wedding of Rudeus, Alice, Silphie, and Loki, who joined halfway through, had not been discussed in detail. And this time, from discussion to decision, it seems that not too long had passed.
"Rudeus, why didn't you tell me what His Highness asked you to convey?"
After lunch, James stopped Rudius and asked, "Do you have your own ideas?"
“No, Uncle. His Highness Gravel said that if it was inconvenient for you to go, he would have to let your father-in-law come back by himself.”
Rudius kept poking at the peas on his plate with his fork. "I think His Highness Gravel might be planning something against you and your father-in-law."
"No, I am not Darius."
James laughed and said, "Besides, Prince Gravel has not yet ascended the throne. Gordon and I are brothers. At most, we will make trouble in public. Although he has almost secured his position, it would not be too difficult for the Boreas and Aiolos families to pull him off the throne."
"As the heir of the Boreas family, Rudius, you must remember that the four great families of Grerat are the foundation of the Kingdom of Asra. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on the four great families will not live long."
"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle."
......
After breakfast the next day, James borrowed two thousand cavalrymen from the Knights and left the capital. At the same time, he issued a military order to the territory of Fituia. In about ten days, James and Philip would be able to meet in the territory of Milbots, and it would only be a matter of time before they wiped out the mercenary group formed by Ariel.
Alice and Loki were taught how to raise children under Lilia's tutelage. Rudeus saw Sylphie and Norn off from their carriage at the gate of the Asura Royal Academy before heading to the Silver Palace.
As soon as she sat down at her desk in her office, Hilfi saw a thick stack of letters. She roughly counted about fifty or sixty letters, which were written by almost every student who had taken her class.
The letters were mostly filled with greetings and blessings, which put Silphi in a very good mood as soon as she returned to school. This reminded her of something Rudeus once said: "It's as refreshing as putting on new panties on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Although she didn't know what the first day of the Lunar New Year was, at this moment, Silphi seemed to understand the meaning of the phrase.
"It's been a long time, Miss Hilfiet."
A familiar voice broke Silphie's thoughts. Her face fell, and her wine-red eyes flickered. "Long time no see, Mr. Oswald."
Oswald locked the office door and took out a ring from his pocket, placing it on the doorknob. It was as if all sounds inside and outside the room had been shut out.
"The latest clue is that there is also a magic stone crystal in the basement of the Boreas family mansion, but that was a congratulatory gift from the new prime minister to Mr. Rudeus."
"Isn't it normal to receive gifts?"
Hilfi sneered and said, "Although I did have my suspicions before, I don't believe Rudy would hide anything from me now."
"Oh dear, Miss Hilfiet, don't be so absolute. These are just my words, which are based on information I have hidden in the Boreas family. Only I know the truth of the matter, so you may or may not believe them."
Oswald walked to the other side of Sylphie's table, gently pinched the bridge of his nose twice, and tossed a wisp of hair aside, saying, "Besides, do you really trust Rudeus that much?"
“Your attempt to sow discord is far too obvious, Mr. Oswald.”
Hilfi frowned slightly, her good mood from when she first entered the office completely gone.
“I’ve shown you quite a few files before, Miss Hilfiet. So far, I’ve only told you what I know, but I haven’t lied to you yet.”
As he spoke, Oswald took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Silphi's table. "There is a female teacher who works at the academy who has rented a room here, but she got her job through Mr. Rudius's recommendation. You should know her, right?"
"Ha, it's probably just a friend Rudy met elsewhere. What's the big deal?"
Hilfi sneered, "Mr. Oswald, please leave. I need to prepare for class."
"If there's anything you need to investigate, Miss Hilfiet, please feel free to contact me."
After saying that, Oswald threw down the paper, put the ring on the doorknob into his pocket, put on another ring, transformed into the appearance of a young teacher, and left.

......
"Classmates, my name is Hilfiet Boreas Grerat, a Saint-level Water Magician. In the new year, I will be teaching you advanced water magic."
The principle behind water magic...
On the three-foot-wide platform, Silphi spoke eloquently about the lesson she had prepared. Her speech was calm and her breathing was smooth, just as composed as when she had taught Rudeus's class before.
"Teacher, I have a question. If the magic stone on the magic wand can save magic power, then why can't it shorten the chanting time?"
At this moment, a female student raised her hand to ask a question.
"Because of the magic stone..."
"The magic stone..."
Hilfi paused for a moment, her mind replaying Oswald's words from that morning. Although magic crystal and magic stone differed by only one word, the mere mention of that word brought back nightmares from years ago.
The despair and helplessness at that time, watching helplessly as my parents were devoured by monsters, every time I fell asleep, I saw the scene of my parents dying in front of me.
These symptoms only gradually improved after she returned to Rudeus's side. She had her doubts and had been searching for answers. When Oswald told her about the magic crystal, she also advised herself not to investigate any further, as it would not benefit anyone.
Even if we get the truth, what will we gain?
Is it really worth it if revenge leads to the destruction of Rudy's family?
Is that really fair to Rudy?
She kept telling herself this until she learned she was pregnant. At that time, Rudeus was a prisoner in Greppe. After the news of Albert's death reached the capital, she also witnessed the plight of everyone in the Boreas family. She did not want that to happen to her child and Rudeus.
And now, with her child born and Rudius's arms filled with tenderness, life is just this sweet.
"I don't want to shatter this happiness..."
"Ding ding ding..."
After class ended, Silphi stood there until the end of get out of class, having heard the question about the magic stone. When she came to her senses, the teacher of the next class was leaning against the door, looking impatiently at the pocket watch in her hand.
Because of the Bereas family's status, even though the teacher was very disgusted by Hilfi's delaying behavior, she did not say anything to express her dissatisfaction.
After bowing in apology, Hilfi left the classroom.
Back in her office, Hilfi took out the note Oswald had given her, which contained information about the living quarters of the people working at the Royal Academy.
When she first came into contact with Oswald and learned the truth, she didn't know how to deal with Alice and Hilda, so she also lived in that kind of place for a while.
"Rudius applied for it in his own name for a female teacher..."
Hilfi stared at the address on the slip of paper, Oswald's words echoing in her ears.
"Even if it was applied for for another girl... so what?"
Thinking of this, Hilfi didn't care so much anymore, because she was already a concubine, Rudeus wouldn't leave her, and she was also carrying Rudeus's child.
Moreover, she didn't feel anything about Luo Qixi becoming Rudeus's fiancée, and Rudeus hadn't consulted anyone beforehand. Compared to that, even if Rudeus brought other girls back, she probably wouldn't have the right to express her opinion.
"No matter how Rudy changes, Rudy is still Rudy. All we have to do is greet her with a smile and bring her back..."
Thinking about it, Hilfi threw the note into the trash can, patted her cheeks, and prepared what she needed to prepare for the next class.
"But...do I really not care...?"
When Rudeus returned yesterday, there was a strange scent on him that I seemed to have smelled before, and it was clearly not Alice or Luo Qixi's. And who could the red dot on Rudeus's neck that looked like a hickey come from?
Although she had no right to influence Rudeus's decision on whether to allow other women into the family, she would still care to some extent about what kind of person she was, as the mother of Rudeus's child and his future partner.
"How about... we take a look..."
She picked up the note she had just thrown into the trash can, unfolded it again, and stared intently at the address on it with her wine-red eyes.
"Just to take a look... just to take a look..."
This may be the first time she has skipped a class she was supposed to teach, but perhaps she still hopes that Rudius will be more honest with her, after all, the feeling of being deceived is not pleasant for anyone.
An hour later, Silphi crossed the teaching area and arrived at the familiar cluster of small houses. This was a place rarely visited by nobles, as it was mostly the residence of servants or other staff members who served various tasks at the Royal Academy. Those who could find accommodation in the capital generally did not stay here.
Following the directions on the note, Hilfi walked through two alleys and finally saw the small wooden house marked on it. In front of the house stood a magnificent horse, so strong and tall that it was clearly not something an ordinary family could afford.
She walked toward the house and peeked through the window. She saw a couple doing laundry, and a little boy who looked to be less than three years old lying on the bed.
"This room smells like Rudy."
The smell wafting from the window was all too familiar to Sylphie; she too had beastman blood flowing through her veins, and was especially sensitive to scents at this time.
"But where did Rudy go?"
Hilfi looked back at the horse that had been parked at the door, wondering if Rudeus had left on that horse.
The horse is missing.
A magnificent horse, taller than a man, vanished into thin air.
Hilfi could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed them and looked back into the room, only to find it completely empty except for a dress that had been being washed and was still soaking in the water.
"Forget it, just pretend I was never here."
Hilfi conjured a fire spell in her palm, burning the small piece of paper to ashes and casually tossing it away.
......
After a day of classes, Rudeus's carriage was already waiting at the gate of the Royal Academy. Hilfi and Norn took each other's hands and boarded the carriage.
How are you feeling today?
Rudius took Sylphie's hand and asked.
"what?"
Hilfi was gazing out the window when she hesitated for a moment, then forced a shy smile and replied, "I feel great today."
After she finished speaking, Rudius didn't ask any further questions, and the two of them suddenly became very quiet.
"What about...Noren?"
Then, Rudius patted Norren's head and asked, "Did you learn everything in today's lesson?"
"Yes, I've learned it."
Noren answered decisively and did not say anything more.
After the carriage arrived at the Boreas family manor, Norren jumped off and headed into the estate.
"Rudy, wait a minute."
Just then, Rudius was about to get off the carriage when Sylphie grabbed his sleeve.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Sylphie?"
Rudius only returned to his seat after watching Norren walk away.
Does Rudy plan to take on more concubines?
"No."
"Ok."

......
"Ok."
Hilfi breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, let's go down."
