　Daphne, the head maid in the Baroness Reinbach's household, was sipping tea in the servants' lounge and thinking about her beloved boy.

　It had been almost five years since Sam, whom she cared for like a child, had left the house.

　It had been a big problem back then.

　The head of the family, Carius Reinbach, had planned to give Sam to his son-in-law who was related to the baron instead of letting him succeed to the baronet's house.

　However, Mannion, who was chosen as the next head of the barony, decided on his own to get rid of Sam.

　This made Carius so angry that he beat Mannion's face until it was swollen.

　From the point of view of Carius, Mannion, who was only the next head of the family, did not have the authority to remove Sam.

　Despite his lack of talent, Sam's character was better than that of his brother Mannion.

　Originally, Carius had wanted to marry the daughter of the Viscount of the other side, but the other side did not like Mannion so much, so he decided to send Sam to be his son-in-law.

　However, because of Sam's sudden departure, Carius had to bow down to the other party.

　The other daughter was very fond of Sam, and there was a great deal of trouble.

　He became known in a bad way among the nobles with whom he was related as an inadequate father who could not manage his sons.

　This anger was naturally directed at Mannion.

　Mannion apologized, but refused to budge, saying that he did not want to leave the incompetent man at home.

　This again aroused the anger of Carius.

　Furthermore, Yolanda, the baroness, defended Mannion and justified his actions, and the couple became bitter.

　Since then, the marriage has not improved.

"But still, the people in this house are really stupid.

　Remembering five years ago, Daphne sighed.

　Regardless of Karius' anger, Sam would never come back, and the Reinbachs eventually announced that he had died in an accident.

　At least they did not want to say that he had been driven out because of his father's lack of control and the feud between the brothers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since then, it has been forbidden to mention Sam's name in the house.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Daphne and her family and the Barony of Reinbach do not intend to follow such a rule.

　Because Daphne regularly received letters through the Adventurers' Guild, and the town occasionally received money earned as an adventurer.

　Even after his departure from the guild, Sam still cared for Daphne and the others, and there was no way that everyone would have assumed that he was dead.

"Lately, the letters from Botchana have stopped again, and I wonder where he is and what he is doing..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It had been almost a month since I had stopped receiving regular letters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We know from previous letters that Sam has a talent for magic, has met an excellent mentor, and is having smooth sailing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Daphne looked forward to receiving a letter at least once a month.

"Your letters have stopped before, haven't they? I think it was when you were in the east, in the land of fire."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not worried about it, as I have stayed in countries where there are no adventurers' guilds, so I have not received any letters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guild informed me that Sam was a very strong wizard.

　He has earned a lot of bounties from the monsters he has defeated to the villains he has killed.

"Indeed, the Baroness Reinbach has lost a very valuable person.

　The servants and even the townspeople think the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wizards are rare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And wizards of Sam's caliber are even rarer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just being able to use simple magic is a status in itself.

　A commoner would be treated well by a nobleman as a member of his family, and a nobleman would receive offers of marriage from many families.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Carius is a man who only values the sword, but other nobles are different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike Mannion, whose character is so bad that his fiancée wants to break off the engagement, Sam would have been a great draw.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam is supposed to be dead, but the nobles are not stupid enough to believe such a lie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, they even offered to tell us where he is in secret, in order to connect him with the successful wizard Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, there are now nobles who are willing to take him in if he is supposed to be dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The head of the house, Carius, is unaware of this, and Daphne and her friends do not intend to make him aware of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Regardless of how Sam responds, the more options he has, the better.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We cannot afford to let Karius hear and let his petty pride ruin the conversation.

"Daphne, I'm sorry to interrupt, but may I have a word?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Ricardo?"

　It was Derrick, the butler of Baron Reinbach, who approached Daphne, who was thinking about Sam.
