But this emotional line is very important. Those who have been watching it all the way should know that all the tension of my plot is built on the emotional line.
Then based on the estimated speed, today's total should be 7,000-9,000 words.

Chapter 95 Original Storyline: Alice's kidnapping case, what role did Philip Sauros play?
I originally wanted to break this part up and write it as the main text in subsequent chapters, and slowly analyze who Philip and Sauros are through multiple special features.
But this does not fit the daily reading rhythm of Qidian. Some readers may give up directly after seeing such contradictory and illogical plots (in the original book, Philip clearly did not know about it, but you insisted that he knew about it! You are a dog for writing a plot!), or they may skip the story because the rhythm is too slow and they feel bored.
In the first two chapters, I created a warm atmosphere before the storm to build up a fierce conflict, but was criticized for being watered down, which proves that this is indeed possible.
Therefore, it might be better and more direct to directly analyze the chapters in the public domain and let everyone simply receive the information, so that the subsequent plot will be clearer.
Is that okay?
Those who have watched the anime and read the novel know the storyline of the kidnapping plot. Please read this analysis with the following three questions in mind.
1: In the original plot where Alice's kidnapping incident turned from fake to real, was Philip, as the mayor of Roya, really unaware of it?
Second: How did Gileno manage to arrive at the critical moment and save Rudy and Alice?
3: Does Sauros know what his son thinks? Why does he always dislike Philip?

Gossip "Afterword and Boreas-style greeting"
It turns out that the person behind the kidnapping was the butler Thomas.
He is related to the perverted nobles those scoundrels mentioned.
The perverted noble has had his eyes on the eldest daughter since a long time ago, and it is said that he wants to play with the competitive and arrogant beast to his heart's content.
Thomas was blinded by money and asked two rogues prepared by the perverted noble to join the battle.
It's true, there are such shameless bastards in the world.
I hope that next time he does something like this, he will say hello to me first.
The part where he made a wrong estimate was probably that he didn't expect that my magic skills were so advanced that I could escape from those two people, and that those two people were not actually that loyal, right?
As for the perverted nobles, they insisted on pretending to be ignorant to the end, so they were not held accountable.
It seems that Thomas' testimony alone is not enough, and the two people are already dead so it is impossible to understand their relationship with the perverted gentleman, etc. In short, there are various reasons.
I won't pursue the ambiguous part. This is what is called political negotiation, right?
In the end, the incident was treated as if Gilenu had stepped in to resolve everything.
It also let the outside world know that the Greyrat family had recruited the Sword King Gileno as a guest. On the one hand, it could prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, and on the other hand, it also demonstrated the Greyrat family's strength and wealth.
I also received strict orders that if I was asked about this matter, I must put the blame on Gilenu.
It would be inappropriate to let the "other Greyrat family" know about my existence.
METION: [——Hiding Rudy is true, and letting the outside world know that the Greylat family recruited the Sword King Gilena as a guest is false. Gilena is a recruited guest, and he has been openly serving as Alice's teacher for quite a long time. As a high-end combat force of the Sword God School and the only Sword King, if he does not deliberately hide his existence, wouldn't the outside world know that Gilena is in Roya? ]
This is probably what is called political negotiation, right?
I mean, there are other Greyrat families...
"That's it, understand?"
"I see."
Philip made the above explanation to me in the reception room.
I originally thought that Philip was just the son of the lord, but he actually seems to be the mayor of Roya. It is said that this incident was also handled by him.
"Even though your daughter has been kidnapped, you seem quite calm."
METION: [——Because everything is under his control, he is calm.]
"If she was still missing, I'd be really panicked."
"Indeed."
"So, regarding being Alice's tutor..."
When I was about to discuss future issues with Philip, the door was suddenly pushed open rudely and an energetic old man rushed in.
"I heard that!"
That was Sauros.
He strode into the reception room and grabbed my head with his hand.
Then he touched my head roughly.
"I heard you saved Alice!"
"You...you...what are you talking about? It was the secretary Gilenu who took matters into my hands. I didn't do anything!"
There was a gleam in Sauros' eyes that looked like the eyes of a bird of prey.
So...so scary!
"You! Are you planning to lie to me?!"
"No... no... it was Philip who told me to say that..."
"Philip!"
As soon as Sauros turned around, he swung his fist without hesitation.
METION: [——Realizing that Philip wanted to use this dangerous behavior to legitimately remove the "nail" around him, and at the same time deepen the "connection" between Rudy, the genius magician, and his daughter, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of recruiting Rudy. But the behavior itself is too dangerous, and Saulos is very angry. ]
There was a sound that made people feel uneasy.
"Ouch!"
Philip was punched in the face and fell behind the sofa.
His movements were too fast. He just hit someone at a speed that Alice couldn't even compare to...
"You bastard! You didn't even express your gratitude to the person who saved your daughter! And you want him to imitate the boring pretense among the nobles!"
METION: [——Are you trying to train Rudy to be a bad person like you? That kind of "boring behavior among nobles".]
Philip, who was still lying on the ground, responded calmly:
"Father, although Paul has been kicked out of the family and cut off from all relations, he still has the bloodline of the Greyrat family. In this way, his son Rudeus is of course also a member of the Greyrat family. I think it is more appropriate to treat him warmly as a family member rather than formal consolation and reward."
METION: [——No, father, I just want to integrate him naturally into the Boreas family, truly recruit him as a core member, and bind him to the Boreas family as a "family" that he truly identifies with, rather than just an employment relationship like a "fleeting marriage."]
Philip remained lying on the ground with a calm attitude.
Maybe he was used to it... used to being beaten by Sauros.
"That's good! Imitating aristocrats is also good!"
METION: [——It's fine this way, don't teach your kids that shit, being open and honest is what a great family and noble family should have.]
Sauros sat down on the empty sofa.
He didn't seem to be going to apologize for hitting someone. He was just that kind of person, and this was a world where corporal punishment was okay.
METION: [——Apologize, I'm teaching him a lesson. Actually, Sauros has always disliked Philip's personality and behavior, but this guy himself is not much better. ]
Come to think of it, Alice didn't apologize to me.
After hearing Sauros's voice, a response came from somewhere in the mansion.
After a while, footsteps were heard.
"I am coming!"
Although not as exaggerated as her grandfather, Alice also pushed the door open energetically and entered the room.
It seems that all her actions are based on her grandfather, because children tend to imitate.
If I hadn't had the experience of getting spanked on the first day, I might have thought this was quite heartwarming, but now I have to be frank.
This is also the part she must change.
"ah..."
Seeing me sitting on the sofa, Alice immediately raised her chin and glared at me.
Is this an intimidation move that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Boreas family?
"Grandfather, have you explained what happened just now?"
Sauros suddenly stood up, crossed his arms and looked down at Alice.
The two people's postures are exactly the same.
"Alice! If you need a favor from someone, you must bow your head and ask for it yourself!"
The corners of Alice's mouth turned downward.
"Grandfather, you just said you would help me with this matter..."
"You're just being long-winded! If you don't ask for it yourself, I won't hire Rudeus!"
METION: [——Realizing Philip's plan, she changed her mind and changed her original plan to let Rudy become a tutor to forcing Alice to propose it herself, which would deepen the "connection" between Rudy and Alice.]
"Oh~ Little Alice is so cute. Of course you will agree, right, Rudeus?"
All I saw was a kind grandfather whose face dropped with joy.
Who is this!
Where on earth did my uncle who was so strict and reliable just now go?
"The master likes the beastmen very much and made a crucial decision when hiring Lord Gileno."
At this time, the butler kindly provided this information. Ah~Is that so? Are those two braids on the side of the head equivalent to ears? Hearing him say that, it does look a bit like drooping ears. There are also many beastmen among the maids.
Hmm~hmm~I see~
Well...
"Alice."
At this time, Alice's father appeared!
Oh, you were there too! Well, please give her a good scolding, Mr. Philip!
"You should twist your waist harder and make more cute and sexy poses."
Ah, this side is unreliable too.
OK, I see. I understand.
Including Paul, the so-called Greyrat family are all such people.
METION: [——Working together to promote the "connection", could it be that Grandpa and Dad really lost their sanity just for the sake of pure XP? They let their daughter behave like this in front of "outsiders"?]
——
Logical loop closed. End.
This logic is consistent with the aristocratic personalities of these two people in the original work.
He was an open-minded man who spent all his wealth to rebuild the Fetoya Territory after the great migration, but he was a bit pedantic.
Another conspirator secretly wrote to Paul: Your son is going to marry into our family! He tried to sow discord between the two and thus truly obtain Rudius.
But please don't hate Philip too much, he is a typical aristocrat. Let me work it back: there are two reasons why Philip is like this:
1: The defeat in the battle for the position of head of the family led to his obsession with power.
Second: The child was taken away from him when he was young, and the constant quarrels with Hilda made him realize that "if I had won, the child would definitely be with me", which made him stubborn about power.
Now if we go back and read the first volume of Philip's letters to Paul, aren't there many interesting places? Is it obvious which of his letters are true and which are false?
OVER.
(Unreasonable: That's not what I meant. Philip and Sauros are just a little bit stupid. There's not so much twists and turns.)
So I have to say again: this is fan fiction. I just put forward the most logical situation, which does not mean that I am right.
But is there anything wrong with this way of developing the plot? — No, because it makes perfect sense. In fact, by developing it this way, the characters are immediately established, more reasonable, and more in line with the original setting. They are no longer just paper characters with many contradictions.
