The Bereas family is now in Rudius's hands. You must assist him well, listen to him, and strive to be a virtuous wife and a gentle mother. When your children grow up, you must teach them in the same way. One cannot always be willful. In the face of the survival of the family, one must inevitably give up some precious things. This is something everyone will experience.
But after saying all this, I still hope you can be happy and take good care of Hilda. Goodbye, my dear daughter.
Philippe Boreas Greirat.

Jobless Reincarnation Fanfic: Live Seriously Even Without Transfer Events [Chapter 342] Coda Finale
Chapter 342: Coda Finale
......
Three years later, it was spring again.
With the king's abdication and Princess Ariel's coronation last year, I finally have time to start preparing for my wedding with Alice, Sylphie, and Loki.
These past three years seem to have been spent in a constant state of busyness. Ariel abolished the prime minister system and established a cabinet to serve the king. The cabinet mainly consisted of some senior ministers from other families and a small number of senior ministers from the four great families of Grellat who served in the capital. There were two heads of the cabinet: one was me, who was appointed as the regent, and the other was Luke, who was appointed as the chief minister.
The procedures for the operation of the Silver Palace court have also changed from the previous direct reporting, where the king would be informed and then the prime minister or regent would review and deploy lower-level officials. Instead, the cabinet, led by the king, would participate in decision-making, compile and draft government orders, which would then be distributed to the senior and middle-level ministers of various departments in the Silver Palace. After that, the budget would be integrated and feedback would be collected. Finally, the cabinet would adjust the government orders according to the actual situation before issuing them.
While this system, in principle, largely avoids the situation where a single powerful minister could control everything, in practice, Her Majesty Ariel still has to consult with me and Luke on many political matters before they can take effect.
Perhaps Ariel's goal was to institutionally retain the final decision-making power in the hands of the king himself.
But because of this, I have a lot of political affairs to attend to every day. Sometimes I have to ask Luke for advice because I am not good at handling political affairs. For me, the days when I was the superior inspector general, leading the inspectorate and the Shinsengumi to arrest people were much easier, but it was still much more nerve-wracking than now.
Last year, Ariel gave birth to a son, who is most likely Luke's child.
Speaking of Luke, also last year, Luke exonerated his brother Rob, and Robin finally got the chance to see the light of day again. Good things come in pairs. Last year, Izoruti gave birth to a girl for me named Gloria, but she does not acknowledge me as the child's father because she believes that this child will inherit the name of the water goddess Lyda Lia.
Although Isorti has already mastered two of the five great techniques of the Water God Style through the notebook left by the Water Goddess Reda, and with a few more years of hard work she might be able to surpass the previous Water Goddess Reda, she seems to want to pass this opportunity on to her daughter, just as the Water Goddess Reda left the opportunity to her back then.
"Daddy...I want to eat candy...."
Hearing the delicate voice, I snapped out of my daze and saw a little girl with shiny red hair styled in two pigtails, almond-shaped eyes like Alice's, and a beauty mark under her right eye sitting in my lap.
My eldest daughter, Christina, is still chubby and very cute. She's only a little over three years old, but she's already become my little shadow. Wherever I go, she follows me. Even if I bring work home, she still wants to sit on my lap. She's like a human accessory.
However, this also brought her many advantages. For example, when someone came to her house to bring gifts or delicious food, she would be the first to taste them before Ars and Lucy. As a result, she was slightly fatter than Ars and Lucy, which is probably why.
"Come on, open your mouth, ah..."
"Ah..."
I unwrapped the gold-threaded paper wrapping the coconut milk candy on the desk, took out a piece and fed it to Chris's little mouth. The candy was very soft, and she easily chewed it with her little baby teeth and swallowed it. After she finished eating, her chubby little face would give me a satisfied smile.
This smile is reminiscent of Alice as a child, but somehow, I also feel a bit of Philip's.
"Dong dong dong."
"Enter."
"Master, it's time to change your clothes."
Just then, Lilia knocked on the door and came in, urging me to change my dress, because tonight was my wedding banquet.
"Oh, okay, thank you, Miss Lilia."
Lilia is now the head maid of the Boreas Manor, in charge of more than 170 servants. In the main house where I live alone, there are 36 maids and 25 male servants.
I picked up Chris, handed her to Lilia, and followed the maid waiting at the door to the dressing room.
"Didn't Madam Luo Qixi already decide to wear this floral crown? Why don't you want to wear it anymore? It looks very beautiful."
“It’s not because I’m unattractive. I’m just Rudy’s youngest concubine, so it would be proper for me to dress too brightly.”
The dressing room for me, Silphie, Alice, and Luo Qixi was separated by only a screen, so I could easily hear what was going on across from us.
"Since it's a wedding, you should dress up as beautifully as possible."
I leaned against the screen and casually said, "Besides, I've never ranked you. You're all my wives. There's no such thing as a concubine."
"Since Rudy has said so..."
At this moment, Luo Qixi opened the screen, walked up to me, and inserted a small hair crown carved with golden forsythia flowers into the bun on her three-strand braid, which was coiled at the back of her head.
"Is it nice, Rudy?"
Luo Qixi looked at me affectionately, and at the same time, she stood on tiptoe and puffed out her lips to move closer to me; she was asking for a kiss.
"Of course she looks good. Luo Qixi looks good in anything."
Instead of kissing her lips as she wished, I cupped her cute little head and kissed her smooth, white forehead.
It's not that I don't like her, but if we kissed on the lips right now, it would turn into an adult kiss in less than ten seconds, and in less than forty seconds we might be stuck on the bed in the dressing room until dark.
For the past two years, she has always been looking for opportunities to sleep with me. Perhaps it's because she sees that Alice and Hilfi have both had children, and Luo Qixi is a little envious, which makes her more anxious.
"Ah! Luo Qixi is so cunning!"
At that moment, Alice appeared at the door on the other side of the dressing room. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw two maids laughing. I remembered that they were unmarried. It would be nice to arrange a suitable match for them from the guards of the Surveillance Hall when I had time.
"Rudius, I want one too."
Ellie brazenly stuck her forehead out, but I didn't give in to her wishes. Instead, surrounded by the maids in the room, I grabbed her breast.
She instantly became furious and embarrassed, and just as I watched her raise her hand, I lost consciousness.
This must be a conspiracy by Oswald.
When I woke up again, I felt something warm and soft under my head. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Sylphie was holding my head, and I was enjoying Sylphie's lap pillow. Her wine-red eyes were blinking as she looked at me.
"Rudy is still as mischievous as ever; at home, Rudy is always so lecherous."
"Hilufi joked."
"That's because of you."
I reached out and touched her flushed cheeks. She wasn't wearing makeup yet, so I could touch her freely now. If I touched her after she put on makeup, she would get angry and smear all the powder from her face onto mine.
I actually enjoyed the process.
"Drive! Drive!"
Suddenly, Ars jumped onto my stomach, grabbed my tie and used it as a rein. I used my stomach as a horse's back. The child didn't have much strength, but I didn't mind.
According to Lilia and Senis, this little Ars looks exactly like me when I was a child. He inherited his mother's red hair and Hilda's triangular eyes, and even the beauty mark under his eye is exactly the same.
"Wow, so cool! Arsgie is so handsome!"
While Ars was fooling around, Lucy poked her head out from behind Hilfi. She had beautiful long brown hair and long ears like Hilfi. Many people said that she would definitely be a great beauty when she grew up.
If Chris is my leg accessory, then Lucy is now Ars's little shadow. She follows Ars wherever he goes. What I'm worried about now is that when they grow up, if things continue like this, will Lucy and Ars isolate Chris?
Some problems need to be prevented early. I used to think that raising children would not be difficult, but now that I am a parent myself, I understand the heartache of parents everywhere.
Morning light streamed through the French windows of Hilfi's bedroom, casting a golden glow on her dark hair. Her warm, soft hands caressed my cheek, her eyes fixed on the playful Ars, as if afraid the mischievous boy might fall off my stomach and roll off the bed.
"Dong dong dong."
"Enter."
Hearing the knock on the door, I quickly patted Ars's little bottom, and he obediently jumped off my stomach. I thought it would be a maid coming in to ask me about some arrangements, but instead, it was Noren who walked in.
"elder brother."
She walked up to me and stood straight. She will probably be an adult next year. She already has the appearance of a graceful young woman, and her watermelon-seed-shaped face is exactly like Senis'.
"Is there something you need, Noren?"
I sat up straight and asked.
“I want to go out and explore like my brother. I’m not a child anymore. I know that Lord Albert is no longer here, so the old trick of telling me to stay at home doesn’t work anymore. I want to go to Chariah and study at La Noah Magic University.”
"No."
I refused decisively, and even though my words had barely left my mouth, Noren's smile immediately turned red, and tears seemed to well up in the corners of his eyes.
"Why? Never mind, I know..."
She rolled her eyes at me and then turned to walk back.
“Wait, Noren, Lanoa is not what it was when I went there. Now Lanoa is economically devastated and socially unstable. Last year, even the king was overthrown by rebels. In addition, the three major magic powers have been waging war against the northern continent for years, and refugees and bandits are rampant everywhere. Even Xia Liya’s Lanoa Magic University is not so safe. Why don’t I send you to Milis? You can also see the scenery of dozens of countries along the way.”
Actually, I have no problem with Norren going out for a walk. Children can't be kept at home when they grow up. When my children grow up, I also hope they can go out and explore more, let alone Norren.
"Really?"
Noren looked at me with suspicion, as if I were always lying to her.
"When has Rudy ever lied to Noren? Right, Noren-chan?"
At this moment, Hilfi interjected, "Why don't we make arrangements after our wedding? Mother is also a noblewoman from Milis, so it will be more convenient than going to Lanoa."
"Since Sister Sylphie has said so."
Noren's attitude changed completely at this moment. Was I such a failure as the older brother?
"Rudy?"
After a while, Hilfi poked my cheek with her fingertip. "Why do you look like you've lost your temper, Rudy? Is work not going well?"
"No, that's not it."
By the time I realized what was happening, Norren was already gone.
Speaking of Noren, one can't help but think of Aisha. They are the same age now, but Noren is just like an ordinary noble child, tired of life in a cage and wanting to go out and explore. I think her coming to see me might have been Paul's idea, after all, he was once a bird of prey longing to fly out of the cage.
As for Aisha, she is currently working for the Shinsengumi, traveling all over the country year-round to arrest some of Gravel's remaining followers and the remnants of Oswald. She is only fourteen years old this year, but she has already become the captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi, and she has earned this position entirely based on her achievements over the past two years.
I also asked Her Majesty Ariel if Aisha's promotion was too fast, and Ariel replied that such a speed of promotion was worthy of Aisha's talent.
Evening arrived quickly, and guests gradually arrived at the manor. Most of the guests came from the territories of Fitoa, Usl, Donadi, and Milbots. They were the first to arrive, some even arriving just after noon. Meanwhile, some high-ranking nobles from the capital, such as some high-ranking ministers like Luke, arrived late, just before the banquet was about to begin.
The wedding banquet was a buffet style, with no formalities, mainly because there were too many people. The banquet was set up from the main hall of the house to the gate of the manor, and the entire garden was filled with people who came to attend the banquet.
Finally, night fell, fireworks lit up both sides of the manor, and huge white roses illuminated the night sky of the capital. All the guests raised their glasses in celebration.
The entire manor was filled with a joyful atmosphere. As the second round of fireworks went off, everyone's eyes turned to the outdoor platform of the three-story main house. Who would have thought that the unknown son-in-law who came to the engagement banquet back then would now be the master of the entire family?
Without exception, everyone waited for the four main figures of this grand feast to appear and raise their glasses.
I was wearing a black swallowtail dress with layers of gold thread embroidered with roses and wild roses on the shoulders. Each button was decorated with pearls inlaid with red magic stones. Even the bottom layer of fabric was woven from the finest silk from the northern forests of the Holy Kingdom of Milis. Even a scrap of fabric was worth tens of Asura gold coins. The entire outfit required more than a thousand Asura gold coins worth of materials, plus the priceless craftsmanship of the artisans appointed by Her Majesty Queen Ariel.
To be honest, I never imagined I would wear such expensive clothes. Even for the inauguration ceremony of the Regent, I just casually wore a dress worth a few dozen Asura coins.
Looking out the glass window at the bustling scene of people, I turned to look at my three wives.
Alice was the nominal legal wife and the future matriarch of the Boreas family. She wore a deep red spiderweb-embroidered gown, with exquisite gold and silver thread patterns. Just a single thread would have to come from the mouth of a spider monster deep in the labyrinth of the Becalit continent. It's unknown how many adventurers' lives were lost in making such a gown.
Her fiery red hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a light blue crystal crown adorned her head, inlaid with ten red gemstones in a row. Such a crown could probably buy a house in the best location in the capital.
With this outfit and those fiery, almond-shaped eyes, she has the air of a spoiled princess.
Standing behind Alice were Hilfi and Luo Qixi, both wearing the same style of white backless wedding dress. Although not as expensive as Alice's, they were still adorned with gold and silver threads and were quite pricey.
Hilfi's long, silvery-white hair was braided into three braids and tied together in a bun, with a red agate rose adorning her head.
Luo Qixi had the same hairstyle as Xilufei, but wore a golden forsythia crown on her head.
The three of them looked at me, waiting for me to walk out of the glass door and stand on the terrace to announce to the guests that I was to marry them.
"Let's come together."
I reached out my hand to Alice, and Alice understood what I meant. She placed one hand in my palm and gave the other to Hilfi. Hilfi did the same, holding Alice's hand with one hand and giving the other to Luo Qixi.
Seeing this, Luo Qixi also handed her hand to Xilufei without hesitation.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the audience, the four of us walked out of the glass door and onto the terrace.
"I, Rudius Boreas Grerat, hereby declare that I will marry Alice Boreas Grerat, Silphi Boreas Grerat, and Loki Migrudia Boreas Grerat."
As I was speaking, I glanced downstairs. Paul was standing next to Hilda with his arm around Senis's shoulder. Paul was grinning at me, while Senis was crying her eyes out. It was her son's wedding, but she was acting like she was marrying off her daughter.
Hilda's eyes weren't on me, but on Alice beside me. Perhaps she wasn't just representing herself, but also Philip.
Without Philip, I might not be where I am today, but I don't appreciate his idea. This father-in-law is someone I both love and hate.
The three little ones were right in front of them. Chris kept staring at me, while Ars and Lucy were stuffing cakes and fruit into their mouths. Norren was wiping the mouths of the two little gluttons with a handkerchief.
After I finished speaking, everyone in the manor immediately raised their glasses and cheered. Lilia walked up to the four of us carrying three red velvet jewelry boxes.
I opened the first box, and inside lay a gold ring inlaid with a black gemstone. The gold edge was made using the spiral Damascus technique, and the black gemstone reflected the boundless starry sky, as if it were as deep as the sky and as vast as the universe.
"Miss Alice Boreas Greirat, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for better ...
I knelt down on one knee, twirling the ring in front of her ring finger, waiting for her reply.
