Jobless Reincarnation: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events

"I do have something I'd like to ask Sylphie."

Rudius stepped back into the carriage from the door and closed it behind him. "Silufie, did you run into someone at school?"

"Huh? Rudy, what are you talking about?"

Hilfi gave a vague answer, "I didn't meet anyone..."

"If it really doesn't work out, then you shouldn't go to school."

Rudius took Sylphie's small hand and felt that her soft palm was very cold.

"Rudy, are you having an affair?"

As Rudy approached, Hilfi no longer concealed her feelings. Although she didn't want to express herself so directly, she simply hated the feeling of being deceived by Rudyus in the past. "If she exists, please bring her back. I think Miss Alice won't refuse."

"I do not have."

Rudius flatly denied it, then immediately changed the subject, "Silufie, did you go to school to find out if I had any scandals?"

"No, Rudy, don't misunderstand."

After saying that, Hilfi tried to leave the carriage, but Rudius grabbed her arm and pressed her into the seat, making her unable to move.

“Hilfi, there are some things I don’t want to say too clearly. I respect your freedom to go to school, but you have to be careful in everything you do, and don’t let yourself be used as a tool.”

Rudius stared intently into Silphi's wine-red eyes, "What may be a simple anthill could collapse a thousand-mile-long dike."

Hearing Rudeus's cold tone, Hilfi probably understood the implication behind Rudeus's words. It was possible that Rudeus had long been aware of Oswald's interactions with her.

But why didn't Rudy just say it directly?

Or is Rudy trying to cover up the truth about something?

When it comes to the truth, it always comes down to those things buried deep in my heart.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was too harsh."

Rudius seemed to notice something, his tone suddenly softened, and he reached out and rubbed his hand under Sylphie's eye socket twice.

Feeling the moisture in the corners of her eyes, Hilfi realized that she was crying.

Would Rudy still be so fierce if he didn't shed his own tears?

"Rudy, do you...do you still love me?"

"I can't stop crying," said Hilfi.

"Of course I love you."

Rudius lifted Sylphie's head and kissed her on her fair face. "Of course I love Sylphie."

"Then...then I'll trust Rudy..."

Hilfi sniffed. "But Rudy, you have to tell me the truth. What were you doing in that room you went to today?"

"Are you satisfied now that you're keeping women?"

Rudeus paused for a moment, then told Sylphie the answer he had finished thinking about.

He couldn't tell Hilfi the truth. Yesterday, when Alice planned to continue to the Knights, Rudeus refused because Alice was too naive. When someone tried to get information out of her, she didn't keep her mouth shut and might unknowingly reveal a big secret.

As for that house, since Hilfi already knows about it through some means, he should keep it a secret even more. If the truth comes out, it will be his own business, and he should try his best not to involve his family.

Hearing Rudeus's answer, Sylphie was speechless. Just now Rudeus had said that he did not keep women outside, but now that she brought it up, he seemed to agree.

She knew this conversation was pointless, but she felt like she had been drawn into it.

"I don't want to argue with Sylphie."

Rudius said, "Where did Silphie get this information? You may have been used by someone. You shouldn't go to school starting tomorrow."

"Am I being used?"

Sylphie choked back tears as she wiped them from the corners of her eyes. The bitterness of her time with Rudeus at Lanoya Magic University welled up in her heart, a nightmare she never wanted to relive. "Rude, you already have three children. You're already a father of three. Are you going to have a few more brothers and sisters for them elsewhere?"

Yes, that's right.

Rudius stood up and left the carriage. "In any case, no matter what you think, Hilfi, you shouldn't go to classes at the Royal Academy anymore."

"Rudy, how could you... do this...?"

Hilfi jumped off the carriage and grabbed Rudius's sleeve. "Rudius, you're hiding something from me. It must be something like that."

What's the harm in keeping it from you?

Rudius stopped in his tracks. He knew very well that this would make Sylphie uncomfortable, but it was the safest thing for her.

He didn't know what kind of person or what kind of force had contacted Sylphie. It could be Gravel, or it could be other political enemies. As a notorious ruthless official in the capital, he was naturally being watched by many people. He would rather speak harshly than let Sylphie get involved in this mess.

"Alright, let's go back."

"Um....."

A moment later, Rudius grabbed Sylphie's arm and led her back to the mansion.

......

After dinner, Rudius made his usual rounds in the basement. He opened a wooden box, took out a crystal with a purple glow, and placed it in his palm.

"Clang....."

"Who?"

Even though Rudeus had confirmed that he had come out while Sylphie and Alice were breastfeeding the children, the obvious thumping sound still alerted him.

"Is this Ms. Luo Qixi?"

Rudius asked.

"No, it's me."

That familiar voice belonged to Hilfi.

Why her?

As the small, thin figure drew closer in the dim torchlight, Rudius's nerves were on edge.

"Sylphie... what are you doing here...?"

"I...I want to apologize to Rudy."

While they were talking, Rudeus quickly covered the magic stone crystal with straw from the box.

"Actually... I'm the one who should apologize. I should have been gentler. And please believe me, I didn't keep a mistress. I only said it in a moment of panic."

"Hmm...I believe Rudy."

“Silphie...I....”

Before Rudius could finish speaking, he felt his lips being sealed by a warm, bright, and soft sensation.

Hilfi kissed him, and before he could even catch his breath, she had already unbuttoned Rudeus's coat, and his shirt collar followed suit.

They hugged each other, filling the entire room with a pink ambiance.

“Sylphie...I love you..…”

"Rudy...me too..."

"..."

Jobless Reincarnation Fanfic: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events [Chapter 335] Crimson Light

Chapter 335: Crimson Light

……

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the first spring rain of the year fell quietly in the capital.

The pattering rain masked the faint chirping of insects and birdsong, and the scattered raindrops dampened the tiny tender leaves of the sprouting grass and the pink rosebuds in the flowerbed.

Amidst the scattered clothes, Rudeus sat beside the trunk with his arm around Sylphie's bare shoulder. Her fair and smooth skin shone with a soft, moonlit glow under the dim light.

“Hey Rudy, my mom told me this when I was very, very little…”

Hilfi's wine-red eyes were like pools of water, rippling with shimmering light. "Tell me that after marrying the person you love, you should listen to him and not do anything to upset him. But it seems like I'm always the one making you angry."

"No, that's not true. I've been doing the wrong things all along, both to Sylphie before and to her today when I was angry with her..."

Rudeus understood what Sylphie meant; he could sense that Sylphie was angry, but after a brief expression, she immediately came over to apologize.

Whether he had done something wrong or not, only Rudeus himself knew. Although the room that Sylphie had investigated was not used for the so-called keeping women, Rudeus had more or less made up his mind about Sylphie's bottom line.

However, it is a fact that I have already been targeted by a hidden enemy.

"Silphie, can you forgive me for spoiling your fun?"

Rudius hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up, "Who gave the message to Sylphie?"

"Rudy didn't even ask for my opinion..."

Sylphie was somewhat resistant to what Rudeus had said earlier, but she didn't intend to hide it from him. She said sweetly, "Yes... Oswald."

"Oswald... how could it be him..."

After hearing this, Rudeus released his arm from Sylphie's shoulder and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You know it all?"

"Um......"

Hilfi could sense it, recalling that when she first entered the basement, she vaguely saw Rudeus holding something almost identical to the magic crystal that Oswald had given her, and then when Rudeus said those words.

This means that Rudius is fully aware of the so-called truth that she once desperately sought but now avoids.

“Hey Rudy, I…I’ve thought about who killed my parents before. I know they didn’t die in an accident.”

Hilfi looked up at the flickering torches, trying her best to hold back her tears. "I've thought about how I'd get revenge, but now I have Rudy's child and I'm happy living here. I'm so happy that I might not even want to seek revenge on the killer anymore."

"I also wondered if Rudy knew the truth all along but was just keeping it from me. Somewhat surprisingly, I didn't expect Rudy to actually be keeping it from me."

“Sirfy... I’m sorry.”

Rudeus felt a pang of sorrow upon hearing Sylphie's words. He had kept the truth from her to protect her, but now it seemed she had let go of the past.

No, that's not letting go, that's endurance.

"I'm sorry, Silphie, I'm so sorry."

Rudius found himself unable to do anything but apologize repeatedly.

"It's alright, Rudy. Just pretend I don't know anything. I don't know anything about Ouswarud or magic crystals. Today, Rudy brought me to the basement and pampered me a bit, which made me very happy and satisfied. That's all."

After saying that, Hilfi kissed Rudeus on the forehead, then got up and dressed, leaving Rudeus alone in the basement.

"Waaaaaahhhhhhh..."

"Waaaaah..."

Perhaps Sylphie couldn't bear it until she left the basement. The crying that came from the corridor was like a steel knife piercing Rudeus's heart. That feeling always seemed so familiar.

......

Four or five days passed peacefully, but the continuous drizzle never stopped.

In the morning, Rudeus took Sylphie to the Royal Academy of Asura as usual. Perhaps teaching was a meaningful thing for Sylphie, and Rudeus really couldn't bear to deprive her of her happiness any longer.

Perhaps I don't understand Sylphie's feelings.

After dropping off Hilfi at the Royal Academy, Rudeus went to the Silver Palace. James had gone to the Milbots Territory to join Philip in surrounding Ariel, and some of the things James had handled were now being handled by Rudeus.

"Lord Rudeus, my master has something to discuss with me."

Upon arriving at the Hall of Surveillance, Rudius was stopped by two male servants wearing robes bearing the coat of arms of the Zeferos family before he could even enter.

“Mr. Stark is looking for me? Okay, I understand.”

Rudeus didn't think much of it, because he and Stark had a good relationship, having once escorted each other to Lanoah. However, since Stark returned to the capital, the two hadn't had much contact.

Moreover, Stark was the Chancellor whom Prince Gravel had personally promoted. Although he had clashed with Prince Gravel in some ways, Stark's opinions might also represent Prince Gravel's opinions.

With this in mind, Rudius became extra cautious.

Before even reaching the Stark residence of the Hand of the King, they could see Stark waiting for them at the gate from afar.

This man in his thirties showed early signs of balding, perhaps due to the long hours he worked as prime minister.
