"Oh, by the way, this is Sam. The head of the Duke of Glen and his son and heir wish to meet with you. I suppose they want to see you because you're kin, but they also want to get a good look at you."

　My mother and grandmother have a reason to see me, and I would like to establish an amicable relationship with them.

　However, there is no end to the number of relatives we can reach out to.

　The Marquise de Glen is undoubtedly the family of my grandmother, the Dowager Empress, but I would prefer to leave them alone if I don't know how to deal with them.

　It's not that I don't want to be involved, but I honestly felt that I didn't have to get involved if it would bother me.

"That's not going to be the case. If you are not careful, you may end up having to give up your daughter in order to deepen your relationship with Sam.

How is that possible?

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

Of course it's possible. The Marquise de Glenn has three daughters ranging in age from 20 to 10.

You should be more aware of your own worth. The most powerful court wizard in the kingdom - what if you could pass on your talent and magic to the next generation?　You have the skills and the royal blood. I'm not terribly talented with a sword, but even with that, I'm sure you'd want me by the throat."

Blood.

"You're not happy?"

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

"No, I think it's a good idea for an aristocrat to think that way."

"Well, there are many houses that would like to take you in once you become a court wizard. It's just that you had a connection with Count Walker before that. You can thank Jonathan for trying so hard to keep you out of trouble."

"I will always be grateful to you, sir."

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

　I can't thank him enough for all the other things he has done for me.

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

"However, I am sure that there will be no end to the offers of marriage in the future, no matter how hard Jonathan tries."

"I don't care!　Besides, I don't want anyone to be left out because of the many engagements.

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

Isn't that up to you?"

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

"Yes, but!　Oh, and I don't want a marriage that's just a formality!　I don't want to live in a loveless marriage!"

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

"......Sam really isn't cut out to be an aristocrat. No, not really. Count Walker, Viscount Teeling, and Duke Ignatz had only one wife. Well, good. I like that serious side of you. Let Sam do what Sam wants. If it's a bit of trouble, we'll take care of it.

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

"Thank you very much."

　They continued this conversation until they reached the innermost part of the living quarters of the palace.

"In the meantime, we have arrived at my mother's room," said Clyde. I'm sorry, but this is as far as I go."

"What?　Am I to meet the Queen Mother alone?"

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

I'm sorry. It's what my mother wanted.

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

　I'm nervous about meeting Queen Mother Dowager alone.

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

　Even more so since I had never met my grandmother before.

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

　The queen mother is not much of a public figure.

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

　I have heard that she has stopped making public appearances in memory of the late king and her brother.

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

"Well, I don't think she's a person you can meet easily..."

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

"As for me, I am glad that my mother is meeting with you. She has been depressed since the loss of Loïgue. She doesn't see anyone much and her public appearances have decreased. There are even rumors that she is ill.

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

"Is that so?"

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

"From my point of view, he was a troublesome and troublesome little brother, but I guess that's why he was so endearing to my mother. He even became depressed for a while. I think that's why my mother misses him so much.

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

"I hope they don't think less of me."

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

　I am anxious that the presence of Sam, the unexpected son of the king's brother, will not make him uncomfortable.

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

(I hate to put it this way, but my mother is from a commoner's background. If you ask me if he is a good match for the king's brother, well, it's hard for me to answer. I hope the Dowager Empress doesn't feel bad about it.)

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

"Don't worry about that. My mother is concerned about your success. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have wanted to see you in the first place."

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

"I wish I could ....... Anyway, I'll do my best not to be disliked."

"-Sam, take care of my mother."

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

"Yes, sir."

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

　He nodded to Clyde and smiled contentedly.

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

　Then he called out to the Kingsguard standing guard over one of the rooms.

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

"Thank you, sir. I'm here to see my mother. Let us pass."

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

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

"Yes. The queen mother already knows. Please, come in.

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