"Sam?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, it was just a reflex!　Well, I didn't know that was possible!　A bolt from the blue, indeed!　Oh, I'm dizzy."

That's good. ...... at all."

　True or false, I could not be happier if it were true.

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

　If there is not a drop of that man's blood in me, I will be very glad indeed.

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

　That means I am a stranger to my brother, whose face I do not even remember.

"I am sorry that my grandfather, no, Viscount Koffi, came all the way to see me, but I thank him that he had nothing to do with that house."

"--Well, I knew you would say that."

　Jonathan chuckles with a sigh.

　Lise and the other fiancées are also laughing, as if they had expected Sam's reaction.

　Sam is relieved to find out that he is now a complete stranger to the family that had treated him so poorly, even though they had always been like strangers to him.

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

　In fact, there is no reason for him to be sad when he finds out that he is a stranger.

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

　This is definitely good news, even if it comes as a surprise.

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

"Considering Sam's situation, I guess it can't be helped."

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

"But I'm a little more surprised."

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

"Surprisingly bland, isn't it?　We were quite surprised."

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

"...... If it were me, I would be so shocked I would fall asleep."

　As he listened to his fiancée's thoughts, Sam's heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of freedom.

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

　But it didn't matter to Sam who his father or mother was.

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

"Whoever my mother is, whoever my father is, I'm still me. I met Ur, I learned magic, and now I can be a family with Liese and her family. That's more than enough. I'm happy just the way I am.

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

　--He is content with the status quo.

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

　That was Sam's honest truth.

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

"Excuse me, Mr. Sam. I'd like you to meet your mother, if possible.

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

"Yes. Maybe we should meet once."

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

　Sam nodded with a smile at Alicia, who once again wished to meet her mother.

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

　She doesn't want to know who her father is now, but she also wants to be sure that he is not related to the Reinbachs.

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

"--Good. I was worried that you might not feel well about your mother, since you were not very open with her."

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

　For Alicia, who is a kind-hearted person, Sam's attitude toward her mother was a little unsettling.

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

"No, it's not like that. I don't have anything against her, but I don't know how to feel about her.

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

"I see. I hope that you can build a good relationship with your mother.

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

"We will try."

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

　Alicia smiled at Sam's words with satisfaction.

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

"By the way, we haven't talked about Sam's father yet, have we?"

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

"Mizuki-sama?　Do you know about my father, too?"

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

"Yes. Your mother told me about you. Sam's father is an adventurer. Amazingly, Sam's father couldn't use a sword either.

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

"...... Is it genetic, this?"

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

　It is rather tempting to think that it is a curse that has been passed down from generation to generation.

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

(I don't suppose, though, that the unborn child will not inherit the inability to use this certain gifted sword, right?)

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

　I don't know if it's a curse or genetic, but give me a break.

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

　Especially Liese is looking forward to teaching her child how to use a sword, so it would be a shame if she can't use it.

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

　Of course, I have no intention to treat her coldly like some baronesses, but I would feel sorry for Lise if her child can't use a sword because of her own heredity.

"Yes, yes, I believe his name is Charles Howard.

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

"--Hmm?"

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

　Sam couldn't believe his ears.

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

　He had only heard the name Charles Howard a short time ago.

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

　He wondered how such a coincidence could be possible, that the king's brother's alias and his father's name were the same.

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

"Sam?　What's wrong?　Do you have any idea what it might be?"

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

　At Liese's question, Sam smiles and shakes his head "No".

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

"Ha-ha-ha, I was a little surprised. I didn't know such a coincidence could happen.

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

"Coincidence?　What is it?"

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

"Actually, I heard that the late King's brother used to call himself Charles Howard when he was an adventurer.

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

　Everyone fell silent as Sam laughed.

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

"Huh?　You know what?"

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

　The silence hurts.

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

"No, no, no way, no way!　That can't be true!　Yes, it must be!"

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

"Yes. How could such a coincidence happen?

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

　Jonathan smiles and for some reason says loudly, and Liese agrees with him.

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

"That's impossible. That's too good to be true.

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

"Right. Yeah, I think so too."

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

　Hualien and Mizuki also let out a dry laugh.

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

"Well, don't tell me that you're under the mistaken impression that the king brother is my father or something like that?　That's not possible. If that happened, it would be a big deal. Ha-ha-ha-ha ...... No, please don't be silent and laugh. You're kidding, right?

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

　Sam tried to laugh it off when he realized what his fiancées were thinking, but all he got was silence again.

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

　After a long silence, Alicia opened her mouth.

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

"Shouldn't we make sure of that, just in case?"

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

　Everyone, including Sam, nodded with sweat on their faces at the hesitant suggestion.
