"Did you see Viscount Koffi the other day?"

　A few days after his return from the palace, Jonathan summoned Sam to his office and asked him about it.

　Sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea, Sam tilted his head.

　The name did not ring a bell.

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

"Who is it?"

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

"I'm not close to him, but I know him. He's a nobleman of the same royalist faction, but we don't know each other very well."

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

"What's wrong with the viscount?"

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

"It seems that I approached Sam the other day, but I misunderstood him, so he apologized and offered to speak with me face to face again."

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

　The old man who approached Sam comes to mind.

"Oh, could it be him?"

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

"You've been seeing him, after all?"

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

Yeah, probably. When you called me Samuel Reinbach, I thought you had mistaken me for someone else."

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

"...... Sam, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

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

　Jonathan sighs.

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

"I really don't want to have anything to do with people who call me Reinbach."

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

"Not that I don't know how you feel. So, what are you going to do?　You are free to see him or not. You do what you want."

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

"Are you sure?"

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

"It's not a house you can afford to ignore. Besides, it might be someone who wants to take advantage of Sam the court wizard. It would be a waste of time if we had to deal with all of them.

　However," Jonathan adds.

"At the moment, it seems that they want to talk to Sam rather than to win him over. As far as I'm concerned, if he knows that Sam was a Reinbach man, it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet him once and see how he's doing.

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

"Okay. I don't like the idea of meeting with someone who might be related to Reinbach, but I don't want to get into trouble later, so I will try to meet with him."

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

"Okay. I'll let them know."

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

Please do."

　The next day, Viscount Koffi called me back and said he wanted to meet with me immediately, so it was decided that we would meet at the Count's house that day.

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

　The person came immediately.

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

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me today. My name is Ewing Kofi. I am Ewing Koffi, the former head of the Viscount Koffi family.

Hi, I'm Samuel Scheidt.

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

This is my fiancée, Mizuki Amemiya.

　In the drawing room of the Earl of Walker's house, Sam and his family were meeting with Ewing Coffey, Viscount Ewing's predecessor as head of the family.

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

　Ewing was, after all, the old man who had approached them outside the palace the other day.

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

　He had only brought one of his followers with him, and he was not armed or anything.

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

　He had come just to talk with Sam.

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

　On the other hand, Sam's side has Mizuki standing next to him, just in case.

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

　Mizuki was chosen because she is the most skilled user among the fiancee's, since she was supposed to protect Sam from Ewing and vice versa.

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

　The presence of the fiancées here is also a check to prevent them from discussing a marriage proposal inadvertently.

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

　Jonathan, who has already greeted Viscount Kofi, is also present because he is concerned about Sam.

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

"Samuel Scheidt, I apologize for the other day.

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

　After exchanging greetings, Ewing bowed deeply and apologized.

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

"Please look up. I am sorry for being rude to you. But how could you have mistaken me for someone like Samuel Reinbach?"

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

"That's because I am the father of Carius Reinbach."

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

"Oh, I see."

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

（I'm surprised that you are related to him, rather than related to him. I never expected to find that man's father in King's Landing.)

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

　Inwardly, Sam sighs.

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

　If I had known Ewing's true identity in advance, we would never have met.

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

"Well, does this mean that Mr. Ewing will be Sam's grandfather?"

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

"No, Mizuki, I'm not so sure about that.

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

"Huh?　But."

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

　Mizuki mentioned that Ewing was Sam's grandfather, but it was Jonathan who interrupted him.

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

"Baron Reinbach has stated publicly that his eldest son is dead. Then, isn't he a stranger to Sam?　His name is Samuel Scheidt. Not the deceased Samuel Reinbach."

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

"I came here prepared to be told that."

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

　Ewing looks at Sam and sounds calm.

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

"I know you are wary of me, but I am no longer associated with Carius."

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

"What do you mean?"

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

He was once my successor, but he mistakenly thought he was superior, became arrogant, and would lash out when he did not get his way. I tried to change him, but he would not change. Therefore, he made his brother to be his successor and got rid of Carius. I thought that hard work would change him, but considering your situation, it seems that nothing has changed.

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

"I have no interest in Carius Reinbach."

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

　I don't care how Carius got kicked out of Viscount Kofi's house.

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

　I don't care that much about him.

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

Sam, you shouldn't be so cold to your grandfather.

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

　Mizuki rebuked Sam for his indifferent attitude toward Ewing.

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

　Sam's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

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

"It's okay, Mizuki Amemiya-dono. From his point of view, it's understandable that he doesn't want anything to do with that house.

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

"Then why did you come to see me?"

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

"My grandson became a successful wizard at a young age. I wanted to meet him, even if only for a moment."

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

"I see."

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

And I wanted to give you a heads-up.

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

"--attention?"

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

I don't know the details of what Carius did to Samuel. As a parent, I can only apologize for the actions of my ill-advised son. But if he has not changed, beware. He will do something."

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

"Thank you very much for your advice."

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

　Sam was curt.

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

　Ewing's apology would not change the past.

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

　Besides, Sam was no longer Reinbach.

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

　Carius was not wrong in his public statement.

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

　Indeed, Samuel Reinbach is dead.

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

　Sam's previous identity was killed by Manion.

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

　He is now Samuel Scheidt with the memories of his previous life.

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

　Therefore, he does not consider the old man in front of him as his grandfather, nor does he care about Karius.

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

　For Sam, family means Daphne and Derrick, who still work for the Reinbachs, and Lise and all the other members of the Walker family. And his fiancées, including Mizuki, Karen, and Stella.

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

　In the end, Ewing left without further conversation.

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

　He left saying that he wanted to see her again.

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

　Sam did not reject him.

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

"I'm sure Grandpa was worried about you," he said.

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

"I'm not so sure."

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

"I think so. I feel sorry for you if you're too blunt."

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

　A short time after Ewing left, Sam, who had remained in the parlor, was rebuked by his fiancée.

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

"I'm sorry. But I'm Samuel Scheidt."

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

"You said that, but you've been in touch with Daphne and the others."

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

That's true, but...

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

"I'm not going to tell you to remember what you went through. I think it's better to just forget about it. But now that your grandfather has come to see you, maybe next time you can be a little nicer to him."

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

"......Yes. I'll try to do that."

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

"Yes. Good and honest. You're a good boy, Sam.

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

　Mizuki patted Sam's head as he replied honestly.

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

"Hey, don't treat me like a child."

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

"Hmmm, he's just a kid. Sam is my sweet younger fiancée.

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

　Mizuki hugged me gently, and Sam also hugged me strongly.
