Chapter 544 Who's Taking Care of Allen's Marriage?
Alsteed had never experienced rejection before.

His enemies who rejected him are all dead.

Those who refuse his orders are not worthy to be his subordinates. If Rudy has any objections to his mission, they can discuss it.

As for his friend who refused him
Alsteed had no friends.

Who is Allen to Alsteed?
Enemy? Subordinate? Or friend?

No, in Alsteed's heart, Allen is a comrade-in-arms, an ally, and a fellow traveler.

They share the same ambitious goals, similar combat methods, and equally meticulous minds.

Then it's only natural that we should fight side by side.

But then a problem arises:

What should you do if your well-intentioned suggestion to your comrade is firmly rejected?
Alsteed hasn't decided yet.

However, for him, being rejected was a novel experience.

So much so that he wanted to experience it precisely every hour.
"Four months seems like a suitable timeframe, what do you think?"

In the dense forest, birds chirped and fallen leaves covered the ground.

Insects made their home under the fallen leaves where few people lingered, while the rustling footsteps of humans were clearly visible. Aisha's suppressed laughter was quite adorable.

Alsteed's voice had a chilling, deadly quality.

The person felt like their head was about to split open from the piercing.

Allen stared at Alsteed with a blank expression, his eyes filled with struggle.

Alstead stared back at Allen with a ferocious expression, his gaze calm:
"Returning to the capital via the transfer magic circle will only take a moment, and you'll have four months afterward, enough time for you to get married several times. That should put your mind at ease."

Aisha covered her mouth and laughed: "Marriage, how many times should we get married?"

Allen: (-_-)╬

It was now noon, and a full four hours had passed since they left the gates of the Temple of Milis.

Allen had a very fulfilling four hours:
-

Click—8:27.

Allen first went to Princess Eighteen's residence to meet Pacus, and after a long talk, he left.

During this time, Pakus was trapped in the debuff aura of fear caused by Orsteed and could not extricate himself. Even so, he still protected the trembling eighteenth princess behind him.

Seeing this, Alstead didn't say much. After sorting out the changes in the current world line, which was different from the future world line, he was very satisfied with Eren's handling of Pacus and felt that there was nothing that needed to be corrected.

Only after explaining many things and bidding farewell to Pacus, as he was leaving the mansion, did Alsteid finally speak.

But it's not related to Pacus, but...
"How about two months?"

They resumed their previous conversation with Allen, and readily agreed to his suggestion. After determining that Allen was unwilling to accept a month's rest, they immediately added another month's rest period for him.

That's so thoughtful.

After all, two months would be enough for Allen to finish dealing with everything in the capital.

Even more so, one can find the time, just like Rudy.
Allen immediately widened his eyes and replied, "Two months? No, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about human energy? What can you do in two months?"

Orstide said seriously, "The teleportation magic circle can shorten the journey. After you return to the capital, you only need to rest and recuperate, and take care of family matters. You can also hold a wedding. Rudeus was given five days when he got married."

Orstide frowned, hesitated for a moment, as if searching for the corresponding words in his memory, and then added an explanation:

"'Marriage leave,' and a month of 'paternity leave' during pregnancy. According to Rudius, reincarnated people from that world value these things, so I granted him the corresponding rest leave according to his habits."

During this time, I will do some things myself without disturbing him, and then hand over the rest to him when the time is up.

I imagine your habits are similar to his, so I think this is a reasonable amount of rest time. You have a lot to handle this time, and a month is indeed a bit rushed.

After hearing this, Allen was completely dumbfounded.

What's with this "getting married on the side" nonsense?
And marriage leave? Paternity leave?

No, Rudy, are you sure this is a jobless reincarnation? You seem to be having a pretty good time working in this other world, right? A model employee of the Allstead Corporation, isn't she?

Three days of statutory marriage leave, plus a weekend, makes exactly five days. Hey, that's pretty good.

TM is entitled to a month of paternity leave, and the policy is strictly enforced in accordance with Japanese labor law. It's very comfortable.

I must say, they actually have pretty good employee ethics.

Then, Allen subconsciously considered his previous company's marriage leave and maternity leave, and his face darkened.

Without paying any attention to Orsteed, he led them towards the Adventurers' Guild.

Alstead watched Allen's resolute retreating figure, his eyes flickering thoughtfully.

Click—9:27.

Allen summoned the Radiance of the Secret Sword at the Adventurers' Guild because Orsteed's sudden intrusion disrupted some of his plans.

Is there a traitor among the gods and apostles in The Radiance of the Secret Sword?
It's inevitable.

Allen's original intention was to prevent the Secret Sword from bearing too much of Allen Boreas Grellat's mark at this stage.

Instead, they chose to entangle themselves with Pacus, who was involved in the power struggle within the Kingdom of Wanglong. This way, they could see how many of them were apostles of the Iron God, attempting to stir up trouble. They could simply wait for time to unfold the situation and then find out.

Clem is the only person he trusts and will act as his eyes and ears. Along the way, whether in matters of the heart, encounters on the road, or the upcoming revelation of more divine information about himself and Clem, all these will solidify Clem's loyalty.

But there's no need to play this Werewolf game anymore, no longer.

He no longer needed to be constantly wary of the gods suddenly turning the high-ranking members of the Secret Sword Radiance he favored against him, so that he, the new leader who was actually an apostle of the gods, would appear to be more like the leader of this apostle organization.

Under Alstead's watchful eye, within an hour, Allen promoted Clem to vice-captain of the Secret Sword of Radiance. Karl Bekus, whom Allen had previously doubted, who had single-handedly brought up the Secret Sword of Radiance, remained as vice-captain.

Then, the father and son of the Northern Gods, who were mutually restraining each other, were introduced as 'advisors' to the Radiant Sword, to give the Radiant Sword some prestige. At the same time, the Northern God III, who was on good terms with Clem, could also provide him with some military support in the power structure.

Throughout this process, Alsteed remained silent.

He had no objection to Allen's decision.

—If the Radiance of the Secret Sword produces a Divine Apostle, then kill him.

As long as Allen himself isn't an apostle of God or Man, it doesn't matter who else is involved.

Then, as Allen walked out of the Adventurers' Guild amidst the cheers of the crowd.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Alstead walked two steps to Allen's side and bowed his head as if to speak to him.

Seeing this, Allen's expression changed, and he took off quickly, trying to shake off Alsteid. The latter steadily followed beside Allen, calmly offering a groundbreaking suggestion:
"How about three months?"

Allen's forehead creased with exasperation, and he abruptly turned to look at Alsteed:

"Are you giving me a summer vacation here? Are you in such a hurry?"

Alster spoke seriously:
“I’m not in a hurry, but time waits for no one. Three months is actually not a short time, because the transfer magic circle can save a lot of time.”

Allen silently observed Alstead's serious expression, then suddenly smiled with relief:

"Haha, that's true. According to Rudy's five-day wedding leave standard, three months is enough for me to get married more than ten times. That saves so much time."

Aisha reacted quickly, immediately turning to look at Alsteed: "Then I think a month should be enough, oh my god!!!"

Allen flicked Aisha's forehead with his hand.

This time, he really went a bit too far. Aisha covered her forehead, unable to maintain the composed image she always maintained in front of Eren, tears streaming down her face as she cried out in pain, "Ugh, why did you hit me so hard, brother?"

Allen: "You're watching the play?"

Aisha protested, "How many marriages does my brother Allen have to get married to?"

Alsted frowned and immediately replied, "How many times should it be?"

Aisha counted on her fingers: "Sister Loki, Sister Shilufi, Sister Izoruti."

She paused slightly, glanced at Allen, and the pained expression on her face vanished:
"Gone."

Alsted raised an eyebrow: "No Ariel Anemoy Asla?"

Allen's lips twitched: "Wait a minute, why are you guys arranging a wedding for me? And what's with Ariel?"

Orsteed replied, "Your schemes in the capital revolve around Ariel Anemoy Asura. So..."

Allen snapped, "You're talking nonsense!"

Alster was taken aback: "What?"

Aisha quickly waved her hand, as if she found it utterly absurd: "Your Majesty Ariel? No, how could Princess Ariel? If Princess Ariel can do it, then so can I."

Allen was taken aback: "What does she have to do with you? Even if she's not good enough, it's none of your business."

Olsty frowned and whispered to Allen, "I didn't fart."

Allen:
Aisha:
Alsteid:
This scene left Bei Er, who had been silently following the group, in awe.

On the continent of Becallit, there exists a dream demon that can seduce men by releasing its body odor.

Allen is far more exaggerated than Nightmare. Just by standing there, he can attract men, women, and even non-human dragons who are worried sick about his marriage.

The three people in the north looked at each other in pairs and fell silent, their conversation clearly reaching a stalemate.

To help Allen out of the predicament, he coughed lightly and said, "You're about to leave Verbon. Before you do, why don't you go back to the main dojo for a chat?"

There was nothing to arrange for the Northern God III and the Northern God II.

Upon entering the Hokami-ryu headquarters, Allen told the former that he didn't need to follow him to the Asura Kingdom, because the answer to becoming a hero lay with Pacus.

Bei San immediately asked, "Do what others cannot do, tolerate what others cannot tolerate, and do what others cannot do. As long as I continue to advance on the path to becoming a hero, even if I am temporarily separated from Lord Allen, we will meet again one day."

Allen nodded.

Although he didn't know exactly what the "Hero's Road" in Beisan meant, it didn't stop him from expressing his agreement.

The rest, Bei San will fill in the blanks himself.

As for North Two, he held Allen's hand and said that no matter what Allen learned from Alsteed in the future, he would always be Allen's mentor.

As he said this, Bei Er ignored the veins bulging on Allen's forehead and secretly glanced at Alsteid, who had fallen silent again.

After realizing that his probing had indeed shown no intention of taking Allen as a disciple, just as he had imagined, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he heard Alstead suddenly ask:
"Alexander Kalman Rebbeck."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Prince of the North felt a jolt in his heart. He wondered if he was going to have to add another tactic to his "endure the old woman" tactic.

The problem is that it's still uncertain whether the other person or oneself will have a longer lifespan.

And the most crucial issue is
Before the two can even settle their differences, might their good apprentice be sent away prematurely?
How can this be good?

However, Auersted's next words startled the Northern God II.

"I remember you once married several women at the same time. Rumor has it that the weddings were very grand. How long did they last?"

Allen: ? ? ? Wait, buddy? You're still thinking about this?
Aisha: (￣︶￣)
The Second King of the North stared wide-eyed, stunned for a moment before exchanging a glance with his eldest son, then looking at the bewildered Allen, before stroking his chin and saying, "One month, but my wives at the time did not have noble status, while Allen's situation is different."

First of all, Izuru's wedding couldn't possibly be simple; after all, she's Reda's only granddaughter.

Allen: "No?"

Orsteed frowned: "However, the currently accepted young mistress of Boreas is a long-eared tribeswoman, but since Allen has not been in the capital for the past two years, no wedding has been held."

—Before he knew it, Alstead, who used to call people by their full names, stopped calling them Allen by their full names.

Allen: "Huh? Wait a minute."

The Second King of the North glanced at Allen: "Oh? The Boreas family already has a young mistress? This is troublesome. Although that old woman, Leta, seems kind on the surface, she was quite competitive when she was young. She certainly won't accept it so easily."

Allen: "?? I mean, isn't this my wedding? Why are you guys discussing this?"

Alsted said very seriously, "In that case, three months might not be enough. The initial preparations will be quite troublesome, and we can't kill anyone."

Allen: "??? Who are you going to kill???"

Northern God II scratched his head: "...Of course not, huh?"

With Reda dead, wouldn't she be perfectly positioned to become Eren's mentor?
Allen: "That's enough!"

He stood up, turned around, and walked out of the main dojo of the Northern Divine School.

Alsteed got up and followed him away.

Aisha smiled and bowed to the Second and Third Kings of the Northern Gods in a noble gesture: "Then, Your Excellency the Second King of the Northern Gods, Your Excellency the Third King of the Northern Gods, farewell." She turned and followed them.

Led by Allen's incredible speed, the group disappeared from the sight of the Northern God II in the blink of an eye.

The latter stroked his beard, looked at Aisha's back, and thought about the subtle expressions Aisha had made while looking at Allen along the way. He revealed a smile of amusement from a seasoned womanizer.

"Alan, this is all the help I can give you. Your marriage is a serious matter and can't be delayed."

Beisan:.
