　In the residential area where the nobles live, a woman's shrill voice echoed in the streets.

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

　The woman was Missalie Michel, the Countess of Michel.

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

　She is in her mid-fifties, wearing a dress that is not very elegant, and waving a fan around.

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

　In front of Misery, Amamiya Kurando, the sword saint, is kneeling and hanging his head.

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

"Kurando!"

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

"Yes, ma'am."

　In the office of the Michel family, Misery, trembling with anger, glares at Kurarayan from above.

"My little Julien has been treated so badly by some kid named Samuel Scheidt!"

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

"--I guess you're right."

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

"All the restorative wizards I've sent to help you were not worth it. My son is having difficulty functioning as a man, let alone leading a normal life."

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

"I'm sorry."

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

"Of course, Purple Magnolias refused to treat Julian!　If you take away the cure from that woman, what is left?

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

　Kurando sighed, oblivious to Misery's hysterical cries.

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

　He had already heard that the first seat of the court wizard, Shi-Len, had refused to heal the injured Julien Michel.

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

　The reason for this is also roughly understood.

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

　Sam, whom Mokuren had intended to become the son-in-law of her granddaughter Hualien, had been the target of an attempt on his life. He even told her that he was going to make her his wife.

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

　Of course, he himself and the other members of the family have not been informed of such a plan.

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

　In other words, he thought that by killing Sam, he could have all the women around him.

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

　Frankly, it was a story that made me question his sanity.

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

　As a result, Magnolia, who loves her granddaughter dearly, refused to treat Julian.

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

　If she had treated him, he might not have lost his daily life as well as his male functions. For this reason, Misery's anger was tremendous.

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

　However, Kurando wonders how she could have so brazenly asked him to treat her.

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

"Kurando. You are indebted to my family and to your father who was the previous head of the family. Isn't that right?

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

"Yes."

"It was my father who helped you when you were a swordsman from the Land of the Rising Sun, who had come to the continent and was in dire need of food.

"I have never forgotten my debt to my predecessor."

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

　Mendes, the previous head of the Countess Michel family, was a wonderful human being.

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

　He was not the only one who saved my life.

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

　He supported an orphanage for children who had lost their relatives due to the war, and he frequently served food to those who were in need.

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

　There are so many people who respected Mendez.

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

　Unfortunately, his daughter Misery and grandson Julian, who took over the head of the family after the death of Mendes, were the complete opposite of the previous head of the family.

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

　Perhaps because they were pampered by those who adored Mendes, they mistakenly thought that they were special and became conceited.

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

　Because of this, the people who adored Mendez have now left him.

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

　Even now, the only people who feel indebted to the Countess Michel and follow her are the Kurarayans.

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

　Even so, Kurando did everything he could to keep Julien from becoming distorted.

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

　He taught him the sword, taught him morals, and was sometimes harsh with him.

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

　Julian adored Kurando and grew up straight - or so he thought.

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

"You've done well. You became friends with His Majesty and were given the title of Sword Saint. You're a nobleman now. But that's all because my father helped you. Isn't that right?"

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

"No, sir. It's all thanks to the previous master.

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

"Then isn't it time to return the favor?"

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

　At Misery's words, Kurando looked up.

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

"As requested by your wife, I will inform the royal court of Mr. Julian as the heir to the title of Sword Saint."

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

"No, I'm not. No, I'm not saying that. It's a given that Julian will become a saint. What you've been given is ours too. It's only natural that you should give it back to us.

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

Then what?

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

Kill Samuel Scheidt.

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

"...... that, that..."

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

　I had a bad feeling about this from the moment I was summoned.

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

　Kurando has his own feelings about Julian. He was an honest boy when he was a child, but his mother's distorted upbringing has gradually changed him without his knowledge.

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

　He did not realize it when he married Lise, one of his favorite disciples. At that time, Julien's true nature was already distorted, but he hid it well from Kurando. But I never thought that he would do such a thing to Lise when they were married.

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

　I regretted that I had given Lise my blessing even once.

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

　And to top it all off, he was going to touch my daughter.

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

　If it had not been for Mendez's grandson, I would have kept him away from the dojo.

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

　The reason why he did not, or could not, is because of his debt to the previous master, Mendes, and because he had once loved her as a disciple.

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

　At the time of his death, Mendes told Kurando to take care of his remaining family.

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

　Kurata has done his best to fulfill his benefactor's wishes, even if it was in a foolish way.

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

　Many times, he has asked Misery to change her attitude toward people around her so that Mendes would not mourn in the afterlife.

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

　However, she never accepted them.

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

　There was not much that Kurarayan could do.

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

　He is indebted to Mendes. Misery has known her since she was a young girl, and Julien has loved her since she was a child.

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

　But that does not mean that he can kill Sam.

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

　He has no reason to cut himself.

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

"You can do it, can't you?　You may be touted as the most powerful wizard in the land, but you are just a child. As a wizard-killer, you have taken the lives of many wizards, so it should be easy for you to take their lives.

"...... He's my apprentice's fiancée."

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

"I don't like that either!"

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

　Misery shouted at him and threw a fan at him.

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

　The fan hit Kurando on the forehead and blood flowed.

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

"That pupil of yours must be that Lieselotte!　How sad it must have been for Julien to unilaterally divorce a stone woman who couldn't even have children, even though he gave her to him as a wife!　That alone is infuriating, but the bad things the Walkers say about my house have caused all the nobles who had a relationship with me to leave!"

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

　People are leaving because of what Misery and Julien have said and done, but she refuses to admit it.

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

　She was convinced that Count Walker was behind it.

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

What have I done?

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

"Mistress Lise is under house arrest. She has suffered."

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

"Don't be ridiculous!　I was just trying to keep my ill-performing wife out of the house!　Lieselotte, what are you doing after divorcing Julian, and now you say you're engaged!"

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

　Spit flying, Misery keeps yelling.

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

"And your fiancée has harmed my beautiful son!"

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

"But, madam."

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

All you have to do is shut up and do what I say!"

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

　Kurando was about to say that Julian had tried to kill Sam, but was interrupted by an angry voice and held his tongue.

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

　He would not listen to him anyway.

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

　He thinks that it might have been Misery's idea to kill Sam before that.

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

　She had known Misery for a long time, and only the previous head of the family could admonish her for this.

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

"You know what I mean. Julian will recover and become the successor of the saint. We have to get rid of anyone who stands in our way while we still can. I would do anything for my son's future!

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

　In fact, Misery has done exactly what she said she would do.

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

　It was because of Misery's words that Julian was chosen as one of the successors of the storehouse.

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

　Otherwise, his daughter, Mizuki, would have been chosen as his successor by now.

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

　Julian is not capable enough to be the successor.

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

　In simple terms, he is not even half as skilled as Liese, his former wife.

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

　As a swordsman, he is average at best. At best, he's a lesser swordsman.

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

　But Julian, who was spoiled from childhood, has no doubt that he will be able to obtain the title of Sword Saint that he has always wanted under his mother's command.

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

　Mizuki was supposed to be the heir to the title of Sword Sage, but on second thought, there was no need to force her to take over the title.

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

　She wanted her daughter to live more freely.

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

　I don't want her to live her life bound by the title of sword saint.

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

　That's why I accepted Misery's proposal.

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

"When Julian becomes a sword saint, marry your daughter and make her the head of the Amemiya clan.

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

"--Wait!"

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

　Kurando did not agree to Misery's order.

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

"You promised me that Mizuki would stay out of this!　I want my daughter to live free!　Please!　Please don't do that!"

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

"What are you talking about?　My son says he likes your daughter, so you owe it to him to give her to him willingly!　Or are you offering me your weaker daughter?"

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

"Mistress!"

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

"...... at all. If you don't like the idea of a big-hearted Julien accepting a little girl of foreign blood, then we'll leave you alone. Fine, do what you want with my daughter. But kill Samuel Scheidt. That's the one thing I won't compromise."

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

　The warehouseman looks bitter.

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

　He is not willing to give up Sam no matter what.

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

"I will make Samuel Scheidt dead and his son a saint. And I will forgive you. I do not want your daughter. Is that clear?"

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

"............"

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

"Kurando?　Answer me."

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

"But..."

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

"Well, here's what we'll do. I'll do you one last favor for all your loyalty. I have no intention of giving you any more favors. If you understand, then answer me.

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

"............"

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

"...... Kurando!"

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

I can't do it.

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

Why, what?

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

　Kurando couldn't bring himself to kill Sam.

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

　He couldn't take a hold of the pleasant boy who had offered to be Kotomi's mentor.

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

　Above all, he could not take away the boy he loved from Liese.

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

"I cannot kill you, Samuel. Please forgive me."

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

"--Huh. Kurando's always been stubborn. You never change your mind once you've made up your mind. I understand.

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

"Thank you, ma'am, for your--"

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

Then I'll kill Kotomi.

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

"Mistress?　What are you doing?

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

　When Kurarayan became unusually agitated, Misery gave an ugly smile.

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

"Do you think I didn't expect you to resist me?　I'm not that stupid. I have orders to take Kotomi while you are in this house.

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

"--Ma'am!"

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

Kotomi is already in my possession.

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

How could you do such a thing? I'm sure Mizuki's at the mansion.

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

Think about it. Who arranged the servants for you when you were knighted and set up your house?

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

"--!"

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

Yes, that's me. Some of the servants are loyal to the Michel family.

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

"You're going to go that ...... far, sir?"

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

　Misery laughs at the trembling Kurando's voice, saying it is natural.

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

I would do anything for Julian. "I would do anything for Julien, even if he is a court magician, even if he is using a sword saint," she said. Now choose. Your life or Samuel Scheidt's?

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

"--that."

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

"I'm telling you, if you cause me any more discomfort, it won't be enough to kill Kotomi. I'll make you regret being born a woman. Yes, I'll do the same to Mizuki. She won't be able to use her sword, her pride and joy, now that her sister is trapped.

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

"Mistress!"

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

"Kurando, you may be the best swordsman in the land. But you're naive. Too sweet. It doesn't matter if you're just as strong as you are. Hohohohohohohohoho!"

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

　Kurando bites his lip.

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

　We have no choice.

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

　He clenches his fists tightly, even shedding a tear.

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

"Just so you know, don't try to cry to His Majesty. He may help you, but in the meantime I can at least humiliate your daughters. You will kill Samuel Scheidt of your own free will. You must not speak of your daughters being held captive."

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

"............"

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

"I am kind and I will give you one last chance to make it right. Come on, Kurator. Kill Samuel Scheidt.

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

　Kurando had no choice but to obey.

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

　He was tempted to slay Misery right then and there, but since he had no way to confirm that his daughter had really been captured, he had no choice but to do her bidding.

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

　Just the thought of my daughters being deprived of their dignity as women - it makes my blood run cold.

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

（Samuel, Lise, I am sorry. I can't go against you, Misery.)

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

　For the sake of my daughters, I will kill Sam.

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

　He had no other choice, even though he knew it would break his beloved Lise's heart.

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

"Yes, sir."

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

　Kurando bit his lip and gave a sob-like reply.
