　I had guessed, but the surprise was too great to actually hear it.

　--Sam is not Baron Reinbach's biological son.

　I won't say that I had never imagined it.

　Born into a family inclined to swordplay, but unable to use a sword and specializing in magic, we have all wondered "what if" about the boy's origins.

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

　Perhaps even Carius Reinbach himself never stopped to think about it.

　And Sam himself.

　Therefore, Melanie's statement that Sam was not of Baron Reinbach's blood was, surprisingly, not considered a lie by Liese and the others.

　Still, they could not help but ask.

"-- or let me check. Is it true that Sam is not Baron Reinbach's child?

　To Lise's question, Melanie nodded her head clearly.

"Yes. At the time I was in love with an adventurer who was visiting Reinbach territory. He was an adventurer, but he could not use a sword at all. He had a talent as a wizard, but he was a bit of an oddball who excelled in the arts.

"Is that Sam's?"

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

"Yes. I was attracted to this kind-hearted person who had a strong sense of justice and always wanted to help others."

　Melanie's expression was calm as she spoke of her former lover, perhaps remembering that time.

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

"Well, did Baron Reinbach know that Sam's mother had a lover?"

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

　Melanie shook her head and said, "I don't know.

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

"I didn't know."

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

"Excuse me, ......, but didn't Sam's mother think about getting together with that person?"

"As you said, Alicia, I was going to run away with him. But he left the town, saying that he wanted to step aside, perhaps because he was an adventurer. I don't know what happened to him after that.

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

"......It must have been so hard for you. I wouldn't have been able to bear it.

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

"Yes, I know. I think I couldn't stand it either. I had lost the love of my life, and my parents wanted me to marry into the Barony of Reinbach, as Carius wanted me to. But what I didn't realize at the time was that Sam was already in my belly.

　If he had known that Sam was in Melanie, the adventurer who had been his lover might not have left.

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

　His parents might not have forced him to marry into the barony.

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

　Carius might have given up on Melanie.

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

　We can only lament the fact that it was too late.

"I think I was a bit of a loser at the time," he said. I lost the love of my life and got into a marriage I didn't want."

"...... Dear Melanie"

"Carius was not a bad person at first. But I had no feelings for him. If he had not wanted me, my beloved would not have left me. And I think that my feelings were conveyed to Carius, for he immediately took a wife."

　Soon after Melanie's pregnancy, Carius took Yolanda as his consort.

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

　Less than a year later, Yolanda also became pregnant.

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

　Carius was devoted to Yolanda. Perhaps he realized that Melanie did not want to marry him.

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

　I don't know if this made him uncomfortable or not, but he had minimal contact with Melanie.

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

　Fortunately, Melanie had her friend and colleague Daphne, and Derrick, who was more supportive than her own parents.

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

　The other servants were like family, and with their help, she gave birth to Sam.

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

"When I saw Sam born, I knew immediately that it was his child. He had silver hair, just like the man I loved."

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

"Sam's hair is silver?　No, but doesn't Sam have black hair?"

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

"As I grew up, I turned completely black. But sometimes, because of reflections of light, silver shone through the black hair.

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

　It wasn't just the similarity in hair color.

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

　Her face, her atmosphere, she looked just like the person I loved.

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

"I was delighted. My beloved had left me, but she was carrying my beloved's child. I was happy just to have Sam. Even if I found out that he had no talent with the sword, I did not mourn because it only made me more certain of his father's blood.

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

　Karius' disappointment when he found out that Sam had no talent with the sword was great.

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

　Perhaps he had realized that Sam was not his own son, Melanie guessed.

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

　Therefore, at first she wanted to leave the house with Sam, but Carius, of all people, would not allow it.

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

　Carius ordered Melanie to spend the night with him shortly after the birth, but she refused because she was not feeling well.

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

　He probably did not find this amusing. Gradually, his attitude toward Melanie deteriorated. On the other hand, she treated Yolanda better.

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

　At the same time, Yolanda's son Manion was discovered to have a talent with the sword.

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

　He was not a great talent, but he could use a sword a little.

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

　But Carius was pleased. He said out loud that this was indeed his son.

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

　From that time on. Yolanda began to harass Melanie, his wife.

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

　My guess is that she wanted her talented son to succeed her. And she wanted to be the heir to the throne.

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

　Yolanda's harassment escalated, and Sam began to suffer as well.

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

　Although her friend Daphne helped her, Yolanda was very good at hiding from the public eye.

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

　As a result, Melanie's heart gradually became sickened by the long-lasting harassment, and she ended up throwing herself into the water.

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

"You must think I'm a bad woman. I'm so ashamed of what I've done, I feel like I'm losing control. I am sure that God did not forgive me for what I did.

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

"I can't say that I understand all of your feelings, but I can never say that I, or we, are sorry for you, Melanie."

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

　Melanie's circumstances were also unfavorable.

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

　If only she had not been discovered by the nobility, she might have lived a happy life with her beloved husband and children.

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

　Thinking of this, I could not unilaterally judge her disappointing behavior as a bad thing.

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

"Thank you very much. But I am aware that I did something wrong. I should have forced myself to leave the house when Sam was born."

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

　She does not say it, but perhaps for Sam's sake she did not resist Karius' attempts to stop her.

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

　If we can raise him as a child of a noble family, at least we won't have to eat.

"Speaking of which, what is the name of the adventurer with whom you are dating, no, what is the name of the man who is Sam's real father?　If you have any clues as to where you are from or anything else, we might be able to find you."

His name is Charles Howard. I still have the only dagger he ever gave me. It was the only thing I had on me when I threw myself."

Now, let's take a look at the man.

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

"Please, I beg of you. Please don't look for him."

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

　Melanie rejected Liese's proposal in a clear tone of voice.
