　Jim Robert was invited by the court magician Günther Ignatz to visit the Duke of Ignatz.

　Jim is nervously shown into the drawing room, where he faces Günther, who is waiting for him.

　Jim is also the heir to a count's family, but this was the first time for him to meet the next head of the dukedom face to face, let alone to exchange a brief greeting with him.

"Well, Jim Robert. I'm sorry you had to come all the way to the house today. I should have come myself, but I've been very busy.

No, it's an honor to meet you, Wizard of the Court of Günther Ignaz."

"You don't have to be so hard. You can call me Günther.

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

"Yes, Mr. Günther."

　First of all, Günther tried to relieve his tension, but he couldn't help but laugh at Jim's stiffening attitude every time he called out to him.

"There's no need to be so formal. Well, I hope you'll get used to it. Well, I guess I'll call you Jim. Is that okay?"

I'd be honored.

"I'm sorry, but we had to look you up. I've heard you're an excellent wizard, one of the best in your school. If I had known in advance that the other party had a magic sword, I would have been able to keep up with the battle against the traitor who claimed to be Sam's younger brother. Well, the kid called Manion was just an amateur, so it's not surprising. But I appreciate his spirit in standing up to the attackers and trying to protect everyone in Count Walker's family.

"Thank you."

　Although he never said it, Günther knew that Jim had once been Alicia's prospective fiancée and that his heart had been broken.

　And that his parents and friends had worked together to capture Jim and lock him in his room so that their son would not act rashly.

　I think it was a very good decision. It is natural for an adolescent to act out of the ordinary because of a broken heart, but it would have been bad for many reasons if he had attacked Sam because of it.

　Sam would have taken it lightly, but the boy, who has a surprisingly low boiling point, would have been in trouble if he had been told off about his beloved fiancées or any of the Earls of Walker.

　Jim should thank his parents and friends from the bottom of his heart.

"No, it is I who should thank you. I am very grateful to you. Alicia, Lise, and Aunt Grace are my family. Thank you for protecting them."

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

"No, they are very important to me too, so I can't thank you."

　Günther liked the fact that Jim was not being modest, but was speaking from the heart.

　So, as originally planned, he cuts to the chase.

"I appreciated you. I would like to welcome you here when you graduate from the school of magic.

"--Thank you. I look forward to working with you."

"I am relieved to hear your colorful response. For the time being, you will be Liese and her family's escort. There are Haren-dono and Mizuki-dono, but we can't be sure that the attack won't happen again as it did the other day when their errands coincided with each other. It is better to have more hands on the defensive.

"Yes, I see. I understand what you mean.

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

"I'm glad you understand. Thank you."

　Haren and Mizuki regretted that they had not been present at the time of the recent attack.

　At first, one of them had proposed to move their plans, but when Lise, Grace, and the others told them that they were Sam's fiancées and not his bodyguards, they went on with their errands as planned.

　As a result, the attack happened at an inopportune time when they were not together. Fortunately, Jim was there to prevent Liese from picking up a sword and fighting, but Karen and Mizuki, who were also engaged and friends, still blamed themselves.

　Afterwards, the two discussed and decided that they would serve as fiancee and also as guards for Count Walker's family. It seems that this incident had taken a toll on them.

　Everyone told them that there was no need to go to such lengths, but they stubbornly refused to listen.

"I don't mean to make a pecking order in the family, but your position is not so high among the wives.

"Yes. --Yes.　What do you mean?

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

"You'll have some time before Sam calls you for the evening, but you'll have to be patient with that. Of course, I'll go first. That's non-negotiable. Okay?"

Uh, sir?

What is it?

　Something is wrong, Jim asks Günther with a puzzled look on his face.

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

"What on earth are you talking about?　Who is Sam's wife?"

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

"My wife is my wife.

"Well, weren't you here today for a meeting with Mr. Günther so that he could make you his subordinate?"

"--What are you talking about?　Of course I called you in for an interview so that you could become Sam's wife."

"......

"Huh?"

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

"You've got to be kidding me!"

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

　Jim forgot his position and shouted angrily.

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

"I'm friends with Sam!"

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

"I know. I know, I know. I think he will gradually deepen his relationship with Sam after he becomes his friend. That's a good idea.

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

"No, sir!　You know, I've given up on her, but I liked Alicia!"

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

"I know. I know it's hard to have your heart broken. But you thought Sam was the right man for Alicia, so you stepped aside."

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

"That's why I fell in love with Sam. Isn't that right?"

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

"I don't blame you. I didn't have the best of encounters either, but now we're a happy couple."

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

"That's why I said it's not true!"

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

"-No way, are you serious?　That's absurd. You and I are so different. I called you here because I thought you were one of the guys who were into Sam.

Don't put me in a room with you!

　Jim is only a friend to Sam and does not direct his affection toward him as Günther does.

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

　In the first place, he cannot have romantic feelings for Alicia, who he had just dumped and with whom he had been married.

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

　Or rather, he had given up on Alicia, but he still had a faint feeling for her.

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

"Yes, then let's let you know how good Sam is!"

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

"I know he's a good guy to have as a friend!"

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

I thought I was going to have more wives on my side!

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

I don't care!"

　And so on and so forth,

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

"Oh, Mr. Günther, have you been here again?"

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

　A girl's voice suddenly rang out, and Günther jumped up and down.

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

"Hey, hey, Kree. It's a beautiful day, isn't it? I thought you were going for a walk."

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

"I just pretended to go for a walk because Master Günther seemed to be up to something."

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

"Oh, no."

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

"I must warn you, Mr. Günther is a simple man. Reading his behavior is a piece of cake for me.

　The girl greets Jim with the edge of her dress while Günther's face turns pale.

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

"I'm sorry I'm late. I am Mr. Günther's wife, Kree Ignatz.

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

Oh, yes, very kind of you to call me Jim Robert.

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

"We apologize for any inconvenience caused by Mr. Günther. Please rest assured that I will inform your father-in-law.

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

No, I don't mean to make a big deal out of it.

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

　Jim was overwhelmed by the apparently younger girl.

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

　For some reason, he could not stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

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

　There was a sickening sense of oppression.

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

"You little girl!　Who is my wife!　Don't casually call yourself Ignatz!"

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

"With your father's and mother's permission."

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

And don't call me that!

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

"--Mr. Günther."

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

　The girl's voice sounded emotionless.

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

"Ha, hahi."

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

"--I'm punishing you."

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, help me, Jim!　Take me and get the hell out of here!"

"Oh, yes."

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

　Günther, who wants to run away but is too crippled to move, calls for help, but Jim doesn't look at him and replies to Cree, "I'm here to help you.

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

Jim does not look at him, but replies to Cree: "I have some discipline to take care of, so I'll leave you alone for today. I would like to apologize again.

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

No, no, it's okay. Well, I'll leave you to it. Well, bye!

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

　Jim quickly leaves the room.

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

　Günther is left behind, despair plastered on his face and wincing.

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

"That's funny. How could he be talking about becoming Sam's wife when he was originally talking about recruiting Jim to be his own man? ...... Well, it's okay. We have plenty of time, so let's take the time to ask these and other questions of your body.

　Cree smiled with a glamorous smile that did not seem very twelve years old.

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

　Günther was more afraid of such a fiancée than anything else.

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

　He could not stop shaking just thinking about what was about to happen to him.

　But neither the parents nor the servants paid any attention to it, as if it was a usual occurrence.

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

　A few days later, Jim received a letter from Duke Ignaz apologizing for the trouble his son had caused and recommending him to work for Günther, but he wondered if he should work for that man.
