　What concerned me the most was the territory.

　I don't mind the baron's family being torn down, but I don't want all the servants, who were like family to me, to be left on the street.

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

　I am also worried about the lives of the people who live in the barony.

"The Barony of Reinbach will become the Viscountcy of Riedyll. The residence of Baron Reinbach will be used by Viscount Riedyll's relatives. You can rest assured that the servants will continue to work there. However, there are those who have expressed a desire to work for Sam.

"Mm. Daphne, Derrick, ring a bell?

Those two?

"Mm. He originally wanted to get to you as soon as possible, but his timing was not good. So, if you don't mind, how about letting him work in Roig's house?　Wouldn't you feel safer if someone you know well was in charge of the mansion?"

"Thank you for your consideration. I would be very happy to do so.

　Sam did not care about the Barons Reinbach, but he did care about Daphne and Derrick, who were like family to him.

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

　He even thought of introducing them to his fiancées if he could.

　Nothing would make him happier than if Daphne and her family came to King's Landing and took care of the house that had been given to them.

"Yes. Then we will do so.

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

"Actually - there is."

"You have ......?"

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

　Although I asked, I didn't think there were really any problems left.

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

　But then I wondered if there was anything else, but I couldn't think of it.

　Clyde tells Sam in a troubled voice.

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

"It's about Harriet, the Baroness Reinbach's daughter, and Harry, her son and heir to the baronetcy."

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

"...... ah."

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

(If you ask me, I think there were such people, but I don't even know them to begin with.)

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

　Sam doesn't even know who Harriet and Harry's mother and son are, having only recently learned of their existence.

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

"When the barony is taken down, they will no longer be nobles, but they will have no relatives."

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

　To be precise, Harriet's parents used to be alive and well, but they are now deceased and she has no relatives.

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

"At least Harriet seems to be comfortable with the idea of no longer being an aristocrat, but the lack of a place to live is a problem.

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

"Why don't you just go back to the barony, or rather to the place where you originally lived?"

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

"The baron is not a lord well-liked by his people, so he seems to be saying that he can't live in his hometown now that she is his wife. What's more, I'm in trouble."

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

"Is it still there?"

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

"It seems that Harry, the heir apparent, is not of Baron Reinbach's blood."

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 understand Clyde's headache.

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

"So you're saying that Harry is not the son of Carius Reinbach, just like you."

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

"-- Yes?"

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

"You're right to be surprised. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it. Of course, I asked him about the situation, but did you know that Harriet was originally the Baron's mistress?"

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

"No."

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

"It seems that she had a fiancée, but she was forced to become his mistress just because she liked his looks. Her parents were happy to offer their daughter to a nobleman if she would become his mistress. However, it is said that Harriet had a child by her fiancé in her belly."

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

"I've heard this story somewhere before, haven't I?

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

　I mean, I don't know how to react to Carius, who has had the same thing done to him by two women.

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

　But I couldn't feel sorry for him.

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

　Especially in the case of Harriet, it was Karius' own fault for making a move on her when she had a fiancé.

(I mean, will this end the line of Baron Reinbach's family? (Or, will this end the bloodline of Baron Reinbach family?)

"Baron Reinbach thought it was his own child, but that doesn't really matter, does it? We don't even need to verify the truth. The question is what to do with the two of them.

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

"No, I don't need you to tell me that."

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

　At least if I was related to them or knew them, I might have been able to do something about it, but I didn't know Harriet and Harry existed until recently.

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

I had no more reaction than "Wow, I didn't know there was such a person.

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

　It may sound cold, but Sam's feelings for Harriet and her family are nonexistent.

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

　He has a fiancée and family to take care of. He doesn't have time for strangers.

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

"I'm sure you're right. At first, it was thought that Viscount Koffi would take them in, but if they are not of Reinbach blood, there is no reason for that."

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

"I'm sure. He's a stranger even to Viscount Koffi."

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

　He would not have wanted to take in Harry whose blood was that of a stranger, let alone the blood of a son he had cut off from his family.

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

　This is not about Viscount Koffi, but it is inevitable.

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

"The Duke of Ignaz has offered to give me a home in his estate, what do you say?"

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

"...... well, if that's the case, I can take care of them as well as Daphne and the others."

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

"I know you're being nice, but you shouldn't do that."

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

　I thought about taking them in, but Clyde was against it.

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

"Why not?"

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

"As I'm sure you've already noticed, you and Harry are in similar situations. But there is one crucial difference. That is your father.

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

"Well, my father is royalty, and Harry's father is, um, who is he?"

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

"He's a merchant who lives in the barony. I hate to put it this way, but there is no chance that Harry will resent you for being in a better position than he is. It's best to stay out of it."

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

"I'm not sure that's how it works."

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

　Sam didn't agree, but Clyde said he wasn't sure how the grown-up Harry would feel about Sam.

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

　It's unreasonable, but he might think that if only Sam hadn't been there, Mannion wouldn't have done something stupid, the barony wouldn't have gone under, and he could have been an aristocrat himself.

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

　You may think it is absurd, but that is resentment, and there is nothing more unreasonable than human feelings.

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

"It is not only Harry who may resent you, but also his mother Harriet. Instead of my son becoming a baronet, he has gone from being a nobleman to a commoner. You may think it is selfish, but it is human to feel jealous and resentful. It is better for both of us to keep our distance."

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

"At ......, I'd like to ask you both for a favor. I know this may sound cold, but I don't know how to treat people I don't know."

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

　If you don't have to get involved, I think that's best.

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

　I don't want to be resented later on, and I don't want to fight unnecessarily.

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

　If the Duke of Ignatz is willing to lend a hand, it would be best for both of us to leave it to him.

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

"I promise that nothing bad will happen to you. You can rest assured."

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

"I look forward to working with you."

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

　Thus, the treatment of the Barons of Reinbach was decided.
