 On the outskirts of King's Landing.

 Sam was in front of an abandoned mansion that was said to have belonged to a fallen nobleman.

 The surrounding area is lined with similar buildings and is unpopular because no one lives there.

 It seems that they are going to demolish this area soon and build a new residential area, but this was of no concern to Sam.

(Why did you call me all the way to such a remote place? I guess it's not enough to just talk about it, as far as Marie is concerned. But so do we. (Don't think you'll get away with it after sending such a provocative letter.)

 I leaned my back against a nearby wall and waited for a while, then I heard footsteps approaching.

 And they were the footsteps of more than one person.

 In the dim darkness, there was Julian with five followers carrying lanterns.

 When he spots Sam, he smiles a broad smile.

"Hey, I'm impressed you're here all by yourself. I was expecting you to cry to Liese or something. I commend you for having the guts to do it.

Thank you very much. You said you wanted to talk to me, but you've got a whole bunch of squires here. Hey.

 The squires are swordsmen.

 Their movements were those of swordsmen, as were the swords on their waists and backs.

 They seem to be quite skilled, but they do not seem threatening.

"No, no, it's quite funny that a candidate for the successor to the saint of swords is walking around with an escort. He should at least be able to handle the danger by himself."

 It is also laughable that he cannot meet the child he has summoned without an escort.

 Frankly speaking, I ask you if you intend to call yourself the next saint of swordsmanship.

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

 Either that, or he thinks Sam is a threat, or he is not confident in his skills.

You should consider your position. You may be the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, but you are not so great that you can compete one-on-one with me, the next saint of swordsmanship. Rather, you should be thankful that we're even speaking to each other like this."

 I feel like I'm wasting my time just meeting with Julien, and I'm not going to waste my time if it's going to rain on top of that.

"That's a funny thing to say. A nobleman needs an heir. It's natural to have more than one wife. The only way to do that is to have a mistress on the outside. You have a fiancée besides Lise, don't you? It's the same.

 To tell the truth, Lise's presence was all Sam needed.

 However, he met Stella and Karen, and as time went by, they became important to him.

 His relationship with Karen is still like that of a friend, but he has already accepted Stella as one of his future partners.
