Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

This actually made me feel a bit emotional.

Yes.

Julie...

They're not little kids anymore.

Time flies so fast; so many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The young girl from the mining tribe who was bought from the slave market back then has now become a skilled craftswoman who can work independently in the kingdom's workshops. It's truly a sad story.

Just as we were talking, we arrived at the gate of Julie's workshop.

Zanaba stepped forward, knocked on the door, and asked where Julie was.

However, to our surprise, we did not find Julie here.

Other people working in the workshop told us that Julie seemed to be feeling unwell today, so she took the day off.

"He actually took leave... "

Zanaba looked somewhat surprised.

Zanaba is a prince; those people shouldn't lie to him.

So Julie may indeed be sick.

"What bad luck, Master, the plan may have to fall through."

"Zanaba said with some regret."

"...No, if it's an illness, I think I can be of help."

I said, "Don't forget, I can use healing and detoxification magic. If it's a common illness, I can cure it in an instant."

"Oh oh oh!"

Upon hearing this, Zanaba nodded in delight.

"In that case, I would like to trouble you to accompany me, Master, to visit Julie! I also hope that Julie can get better soon!"

"No problem at all."

I said it without hesitation.

……

Julie's residence was also part of the royal palace.

After all, as a craftswoman of the kingdom, she naturally had her own place to live in the palace, and it was a separate room where she did not mingle with other people.

This also shows that although Julie was neither an aristocrat nor royalty, her skills were recognized and her status was not low.

Haven't seen you for three years.

I wonder what Julie looks like now...

Well, the most likely scenario is that nothing has changed at all.

If Zanoba were to suddenly come to visit, he would probably jump out of bed with excitement, right?

Honestly, I hope she doesn't do that.

After all, she was a patient.

then……

Just as I was contemplating the scene of our upcoming meeting, I arrived at the door of Julie's room.

"Master, why do you look a little nervous?"

"Zanopa asked, puzzled."

I said awkwardly, "Well, it's been a long time since we've seen each other..."

"Hahaha... Master, you can rest assured about that. Julie's respect for you will never change."

As he spoke, Zanaba prepared to knock on the door.

Then, just then.

A somewhat distressed voice suddenly came from inside the door.

"Ah...ah..."

It's as if I'm being haunted by a nightmare.

Is Julie suffering from illness to this extent?

"Ah, that's great...more..."

Ah, no,

Oh, I see. That's how it is.

I realized it quickly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is truly completely unexpected...

To run into each other at this time, and with Zanoba at that, is truly the worst possible situation.

What should we do now...?

I thought so.

The sounds from inside the door continued uninterrupted.

"Hey, Parkus, are you feeling good?"

"Um... Sister Julie..."

Chapter Sixteen: That's Good

Zanaba, Loki, and I stood together at the door.

No one made any further moves.

I don't know what other people are thinking, but I feel that the current situation is terrible.

Paul had mentioned it during a private conversation between father and son.

He lost his virginity after being seduced by the maid in his house.

It seems that among nobles and royalty, it was perfectly normal and unsurprising for masters to have relationships with their servants or slaves.

From this perspective, I really shouldn't be making a fuss.

but……

The reality is much worse than it sounds.

For Zanoba, Julie was probably no longer a slave or anything like that.

After all, they've been by my side all these years.

The longest confession is to stay by someone's side.

It is believed that for Zanoba, Julie was more like a younger sister than a slave.

That's right.

For Zanoba, Julie was like a younger sister.

At least……

I think so.

Needless to say, there's also the younger Pacus.

Although he wasn't his biological son, I think Zanoba raised him as if he were his own son. I don't know if there were other feelings involved, but given Zanoba's personality, he probably wouldn't have made any major mistakes in raising his children.

in other words.

For Zanoba, this is the current situation.

It's like your own sister and son getting together without your knowledge.

……

It's terrible.

The thought of my sister and son sleeping together sends chills down my spine.

I took a deep breath.

Calm down, Rudius.

Regardless, we need to take care of Zanopa's feelings first.

The current situation could easily lead to a major mistake. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Zanoba may not be as calm as I am.

They might do something irrational in a moment of impulse.

Therefore, I need to control Zanoba now...

I thought so.

His gaze fell on Zanobba, who was standing to the side.

However, to my surprise...

Zanaba did nothing.

He only showed a slight expression of surprise before quickly withdrawing his hand that was about to knock on the door.

"Oh dear, what a bad timing."

Zanaba smiled helplessly: "Master, it seems we've come at the wrong time."

"...It's pretty bad."

I nodded cautiously.
