Chapter 502 Little Aisha's Birth, Alice's Tenth Birthday Party
"Lilia, what are you doing?"
When Broly woke up early in the morning, he heard the sound of water outside. He opened the window and looked out, and saw Miss Lilia, who was wearing a maid's dress and had a slightly protruding belly, carrying water and pouring it into a wooden basin.
"Ah, it's Master Broly. I was just about to do the laundry."
Lilia looked up and saw Broly, and quickly answered.
"Hey, can't we just leave laundry to the water elementals?"
Upon hearing this, Broly felt a little strange. Water elementals were mediocre in combat, only at the Emperor level, but when it came to washing clothes, they were absolutely god-level experts. Dirty clothes could be swallowed, spun around in the body for a while, and then spat out as clean clothes, without needing to be washed by hand.
"But I want to do something for you, Master Broly. Otherwise, it would be too shameless of me to just eat at your house without doing any work."
Miss Lilia, a native of the Six Faces, had no concept of maternity leave. All she knew was that after Broly took her in, the housework was almost entirely taken care of by the water elemental familiar.
She didn't need to do anything like tidying up or cleaning, which left her feeling somewhat lost after a week at Broly's house.
"But didn't you help with the cooking?"
"Such a small job is hardly enough to repay your kindness in taking me in."
"I understand your situation, Miss Lilia. Here's what we'll do: I'll have the water elemental give you the task of serving tea and water. As for tiring work like washing clothes, let's skip that, since you're pregnant."
Unbeknownst to her, Lokishi arrived behind Broly. The demon girl, dressed in a thin nightgown, pressed her front body against the Saiyan boy's back and spoke to the maid who was preparing to wash her clothes in the courtyard below.
"But Mrs. Loki..."
Lilia was about to say something when Loki interrupted her.
"That's settled then. I have the final say on matters within this family."
Loki's firm stance left Lilia with no choice but to accept this arrangement.
To put her mind at ease, Luo Qixi stopped letting the water elemental take on all the housework and gave her some of the easier tasks.
As winter passed and spring arrived, the Broly family members became acquainted with the maid. Near the end of his 23rd playthrough, out of familiarity, Broly asked the maid a question: "Miss Lilia, if you had the chance to change your current situation, would you want to?"
"Young Master Broly, what do you mean?"
"It's about changing the fact that you were pregnant with my Uncle Paul's child. If it weren't for that child, you would still be a maid in the Greirat household, instead of looking so gloomy every day."
Alice leaned closer and said.
There's no such thing as a remedy for regret anywhere else, but in the Broly family, where time can be reversed and past experiences altered, it's something entirely possible.
Although Lilia has settled down in this family, everyone in the family can see each other's prenatal anxiety.
After spending two months together and developing a good relationship with Lilia, Broly's family discussed it and decided to give her a chance to change her past.
"You can tell us the date Paul Grealat attacked you, and next time, we can go and help stop him from attacking you."
Luo Qixi explained the general outline of the time reversal and then said this to the maid.
"Yes, Miss Lilia, my father is a bastard who attacked you, but all of that can be changed in the next playthrough. You don't need to worry about anything. Broly and Loki are both very reliable people. You can tell them about the injustices you suffered, and they will stand up for you."
"Of course, although my father is a bastard, I hope Brother Broly can go easy on him next time, at least don't kill him, otherwise my mother will definitely be heartbroken."
Rudius was also there, speaking to Miss Lilia, saying that ever since he brought the maid Lilia here, he would come to see her from time to time.
Apart from that, no one else from the Grerat family came, and even Rudius's own parents were still somewhat estranged.
Although they didn't argue, they were in a complete cold war. His mother was still angry with his father for cheating, while his father felt guilty towards his mother and was also worried about Lilia's situation.
It's fair to say that if the affair hadn't happened, his home wouldn't be in its current state, and Lilia wouldn't have had to leave.
"Can everything start over?"
The maid, clutching her swollen belly, could clearly feel the baby's condition inside. Her expression was complex, and she shook her head.
"I'm sorry, I still want to have this child. Besides, Mr. Paul didn't actually do anything wrong. It was me, I deliberately seduced him after Mrs. Senis became pregnant..."
"Huh?!"
Upon hearing this, Broly and the others, who had initially thought she was the victim, widened their eyes in disbelief. As Lilia recounted her story, they learned that in the distant past, Lilia had a relationship with Paul.
In their youth, she and Paul were both disciples of the Water God Stream Dojo. One night, young Paul suddenly broke into Lilia's room, forcibly took her virginity, and then ran away. He was a complete scumbag.
Of course, according to Lilia, she didn't actually feel much aversion at the time, because she also had feelings for Paul.
Rudius's lips twitched; he never expected to hear about his father's past romantic escapades from his youth.
"Later, I injured my wrist while protecting the little princess of the Kingdom of Asura and was no longer able to continue my guard duties. I was dismissed from my guard job and, not knowing what to do, I found my former senior brother Paul, which led me to choose to join his ranks."
Perhaps out of guilt towards me, Mr. Paul took me in and gave me a well-paid job as a maid in the Grellatt household.
As for me, I endured the love between Mr. Paul and Mrs. Senis in that house, until Mrs. Senis became pregnant again. At that point, I was somewhat bewitched and deliberately seduced Mr. Paul…”
Rudius thought about the voice of his mother that he often heard at night over the years, and an unexpected expression of understanding appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, Master Rudeus, I shouldn't have wanted to keep the child in my womb after causing harm to your family. However, I can already sense the condition of this child, so please don't take away my right to be the mother of this child."
The heavily pregnant Lilia bowed directly to Rudeus and made her request.
"Ah, this..."
Rudius was somewhat troubled and looked at Broly, seemingly wanting Broly to help him make a decision.
"This is your family's business, it has nothing to do with me, but I can tell you about it in the next cycle so you can make a decision."
. . . .
"So, Brother Broly, you didn't just tell me directly why Miss Lilia would get involved with my father?"
In the 24th playthrough, Rudeus continues the events of the 23rd playthrough. On a cold winter morning, he brings the maid, Lilia, to this place. Before he can even ask Broly to take her in, Broly tells him about what happened in the previous playthrough.
"Oh, then at least try to ease the situation for my family, right?"
With this comment, things changed again on the 25th playthrough.
Before Lilia's pregnancy became apparent, she was approached by Rudeus, who already knew about what had happened in the previous timeline.
"Miss Lilia, you don't want my mother to know that you seduced my father, do you? If you're willing to quit your job as a maid, I'll help you find a place where you can give birth to your child."
In this loop, the maid Lilia voluntarily resigned from her job at the Grellat family, without causing any family conflict. She went to the Broly family amidst Senis's reluctant farewell.
"That's how it is. I don't want my parents to have a falling out, but I also don't want you to lose your right to be a mother. In the end, it's my father who wronged you, Miss Lilia, when he was young."
Therefore, keeping your situation a secret from my mother is the best choice for everyone, and I hope that Miss Lilia will continue to keep this secret from now on.
Rudius only explained the matter of time reversal to the other party after he arrived here.
"I'm sorry, thank you."
Lilia had expected to be coerced, but to her surprise, Rudeus was willing to spare her and her unborn child's life. In this loop, besides feeling guilty, Lilia felt nothing but gratitude towards Rudeus.
"The people you should really thank are Broly and Ms. Loki. It was Broly and Ms. Loki who were willing to take you in."
In the 25th playthrough, Rudeus clearly understood who was the one who gave Lilia dignity, and instead of taking credit, he let the maid thank the person who truly deserved it.
From this point onward, it became a recurring occurrence that a baby girl named Aishah would be born in Broly's house.
It's worth mentioning that the name Aisha was given to Rudius by his father, Paul Greirat, after Rudius consulted him. Rudius even took the opportunity to scold his father.
"Father, I won't always clean up your messes. If you can't control your lower body next time, I will tell Mother the truth and never ask Broly to clean up this mess for you after the time rewind."
. . . .
31st playthrough, spring of Ankylion calendar year 415, at Broly's house in Bouyena village.
"Aisha, hurry up and crawl over here."
"Oh, here comes Sister Sylphie."
"Quick, come over here."
"Okay, Sister Alice."
After seven playthroughs, two-year-old Aisha is very much loved by Sylphie and Alice.
It's fair to say that the little guy was raised by them; they even helped change his diapers.
"Aisha, you must repay Master Broly and Miss Roche in the future. They are your benefactors. Without their help, you might not have been born..."
At night, while holding her daughter in her room as she slept, Miss Lilia didn't forget to give her daughter bedtime lessons.
Although Alice and Silphie both treat Aisha like a little sister, Lilith, as a mother, doesn't want her daughter to overstep the proper boundaries.
"Yes, Mom, Aisha understands. Broly will be Aisha's master in the future, and so will Sister Loki and Sister Alice. Aisha will serve them well when she grows up."
The little guy listens to his mother very well.
. . . .
"Alice, tomorrow is your tenth birthday party. Are you ready?"
In the master bedroom, Loki asked Alice, who was lying on the bed swinging her legs and reading a fairy tale book with Hilfi.
"No problem, no problem. I already know the dance steps for the coming-of-age party and the partner dance with others."
Alice wasn't worried about the banquet tomorrow at all.
"Hey, Alice, are you dancing with someone tomorrow?"
Hilfi asked out of curiosity.
"No way, I'll only have one dance partner tomorrow, and that's Broly."
Broly had just entered the room when he heard Alice say this.
"Broly, you'd better do your best tomorrow. Don't let anyone steal my first dance. I don't want to dance with some other guy."
In the 31st cycle, in the year 415 of the Ankylosaurus calendar, the Boreas family held a tenth birthday celebration for Alice. Broly, Loki, and Sylphie attended the banquet dressed in proper formal attire. During the dance invitation segment, Broly flicked the air, causing several boys from noble families to buckle at the knees and become the first to come to Alice's side.
"Beautiful and lovely Miss Alice, would you like to dance with me?"
Looking at the outstretched hand, Alice smiled and said "I do," and in front of all the visiting guests, she and the boy skillfully began to dance a duet.
There were no issues with rhythm or footwork; those were simply nonexistent. The third-rate swordsmanship greatly improved the girl's coordination.
However, when it comes to dancing with someone she likes, Alice is very enthusiastic about learning dance steps.
After a period of rigorous training, Alice presented herself to everyone as a perfectly poised and skilled noblewoman.
The adults of the Boreas family looked on with great satisfaction at their young daughter, but then became somewhat displeased with the Saiyan boy who later invited the other two girls to dance.
"You already have Alice, why are you still trying to seduce other girls?"
Lady Hilda was the most dissatisfied one.
"Alice, stay away from that boy from now on."
She turned to her daughter, who was a little tired and had come over to rest, and said something.
"No way, I like Broly, I want to be close to him."
Alice directly refused her mother's request.
"But the boy you like is dancing intimately with other girls, and not just one."
"It's okay, I like Ms. Loki and Ms. Sylphie too."
Alice put her hands on her hips and said with great certainty.
"Alice, you're not getting any younger. If Broly is the husband you've chosen, then don't let other girls take advantage of him."
Philippe Boreas offered a word of advice from the side.
"Teacher Loki and Shilufi are not outsiders."
But his daughter's words silenced him.
"Would you like to dance with me?"
Over there, after Broly finished dancing with Silphie, a noble girl came over to ask her something.
"I'm sorry, I'm already quite tired. Please find someone else."
Broly refused the girl who came to dance, so Alice ran over to join him.
Then, the family of four left the banquet as if no one else was there.
"Hey, Madam, do you think our Alice might like both men and women?"
"It's not impossible."
The Boreas couple seemed to have misunderstood something, but it's understandable that they would have such a misunderstanding, because Alice is rather oblivious. As for things like time travel, unless her family keeps pressing her for answers, she's too lazy to explain after regaining her memories each time she cycles through time.
