"Father!　What is the meaning of Sam's duel with Mr. Albert Frege!"

　It was late at night when Lise burst into Jonathan's office.

　She was wearing light make-up and a nightgown, but she was sweating slightly.

　This is unusual for Lise, who has been showing her defenseless body as little as possible since Sam started living in the house. She must have come here in a hurry.

　The news of Sam's encounter with Delight and Fran and their son, and his fight with the court wizard Albert, had already reached Count Walker's family.

　But they did not expect that the duel would be approved before the day was out.

"I see you have heard as well. I too have just received word from my royalist friends via a messenger. The official announcement will be made tomorrow.

Did Sam know about this?

I don't know yet. I'll tell them tomorrow when things are more settled."

"...... I see."

　Jonathan sighs heavily.

　He had thought it was a joke when he had been told that he had fought the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye, but if the duel had been recognized by the government, then it had to be true.

　I wish I had been wrong.

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

　Lise probably feels the same way.

"Uncle!　What do you mean Sam is dueling with Albert!"

"...... Günther. You're still in the house."

　Günther Ignaz, heir to the Duke's throne and the fifth seat of the court wizards, bursts into his office in his pajamas.

　Perhaps he is using the drawing room for himself.

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

　If I remember correctly, he has brought some personal belongings with him, so he probably thinks of it as his own room.

"Of course I was there!　As a wife, I was concerned about Sam and Lord Delight. I was surprised to see that the family came to me with the information when I was knocked out after asking for Sam's room.

"You're not so bad. Well, okay. Lise and Günther, please calm down and sit down first."

　He makes them sit down on the sofa and calls the maid to prepare tea.

"Oh, I'd rather have wine.

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

"Me too. I know that your father has a secret bottle of wine hidden in the bookshelf, and I'd like to have that."

"...... I secretly bought this expensive vintage behind Grace's back. Well, okay. In exchange, please don't tell anyone."

　He reluctantly reaches for the wine he has been saving from the back of the bookshelf and sets it down on the table with a glass.

　When I pop the cork, a rich aroma hits my nose.

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

　I feel my emotions subside, though not as much as those of my daughters.

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

　The wine is poured into the glasses.

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

　I do not make a toast.

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

　I did not make a toast, because I was not in the mood.

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

"I would like to taste your good wine, but it's more about Sam. I never thought the state would allow me to duel with that Albert."

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

"I agree."

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

　It all started when Sam challenged Albert to a duel.

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

　Knowing Albert's character, Jonathan and Günther could easily imagine that he would be provoked by Sam.

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

　However, they could not expect that the state would give official permission for a duel between them.

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

　Jonathan hoped that the story would be dropped if at all possible.

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

"Sam told me that apparently Master Albert had made a pass at Fran, and then he stopped him, and that's how the duel started."

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

"...... no matter how many times I hear it, I don't understand how it ended up in a duel."

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

　Sam says that Albert's character was not worthy of being a court wizard or the most powerful man in the Kingdom of Skye, so he decided to take him away.

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

　I understand the feeling.

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

　But I wish he would have thought before he acted.

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

　I know Sam is strong, but I can't help but wonder if he can take on the strongest in the kingdom.

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

　I know that Sam's skill in magic is quite strong since he made Günther, the fifth seat of the court wizard, admit his defeat.

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

　Still, I wonder if it is not a bit premature to challenge the strongest.

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

"Dueling aside, I think it was a good decision for Sam to protect Francesca. He's notorious for his womanizing ways. Among the court wizards there's not one with that many problems."

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

　Albert must be doing whatever he wants to do if he is called a troublemaker by a troublemaker.

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

"I hear that he is also involved in some other bullying activities. It's ...... pathetic how someone like that replaced Delight as the most powerful man in the kingdom."

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

"That's simply because Albert is strong."

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

"I don't need Günther to tell me that!"

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

　Liese glared at Günther.

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

　She knew it in her head, but her emotions didn't want to understand it.

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

　Before his drinking binge, Delight Sinatra was a man of great ability and character, worthy of being the most powerful wizard in the kingdom.

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

　She was well-liked and a friend of the weak.

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

　Liese knows well that he was well-liked by his people.

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

　Her friend Fran was very proud of her.

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

"I know, but I can't accept it!"

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

"I don't like the guy either. But the strongest in the kingdom is the strongest in magic."

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

"Even a warding master as good as Günther can admit that Albert is strong?"

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

　At Jonathan's words, Günther's handsome face contorted and he nodded.

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

"I hate to admit it. Of course, I did not let you break my wards, but if you are looking for strength, Albert is the best of all the court wizards. I'm not much of a fighter."

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

　Günther is a defensive specialist, not an offensive one.

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

　Of course, as he is sent to the battlefield as a court magician, he has some means of combat.

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

　However, in terms of simple firepower, he is far below Albert.

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

"I wonder why the king has given his approval for the duel. And so soon?

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

"It seems that all the aristocrats are in favor of the duel. But it seems that the king has his own agenda.

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

"But I don't think we'll be ready for battle in a week!"

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

　Even if it was the king's decision, Liese could not agree with the sudden decision to fight.
