After enjoying the bath, Cain stayed in the guest room.
　The next day, he finished his meal and decided to return early as he had an academy to attend.
　In the reception room, Eric and I were drinking tea after dinner.

''Cain-kun, are you really going home already?''

　Cain nodded at Duke Eric's question.
''Yes, I have to go to the academy as well. Thank you for all your help. I look forward to seeing you again in the royal capital.''

''Even so, 'transference' is really useful. I heard that you need a huge amount of magic power to do it: .......

One transference would consume tens of thousands of dollars, you know. A normal sorcerer wouldn't be able to do that.

　Hearing the number in the tens of thousands, Eric gave up and sighed.

'Alright. There's no problem with transitioning from here, okay?　I'd really like to get out of town and then transition, but I'd like to see it in person.

I understand. Then I will return to King's Landing. Thank you very much. I'll see you in King's Landing.

"Transition.

　Eric's figure in front of Cain's eyes disappeared in an instant, and his vision changed.
　He transitioned to the office of the Baron Silford's mansion.

''If you don't get to the academy soon, you'll be at your mother's place after you're done. ......

　Cain changed into his uniform, thinking about Sarah's shocking past, and called out to Coran and Sylvia before heading to the school.
　When he entered the classroom, Telestia and Silk were already on their way to school.

''Good morning, Cain-sama!''
Hey, Mr. Cain.
Teres, Silk, good morning.

　Cain sat down after greeting them both.

'It's almost summer vacation ...... and I won't be able to go this year, but you should come to Malbeek territory sometime, Cain. There are hot springs, and Teres likes those hot springs too, you know?

Yes, it's not like a normal bath at all, because you're so warm after that hot spring.
　The feeling of the hot spring was experienced yesterday, Cain nodded as he remembered.

'It feels really good--oh, it looks good.

　I almost stopped myself from telling them that I was in Malbeek territory yesterday.
　The two of them tilted their heads to see that Cain was a bit impatient.

　After taking classes in the morning, they went straight to the Silford Frontier Count mansion in the royal capital, as Cain had no classes of his choosing in the afternoon.
　He greets the gate guard and walks into the mansion.
　Garum was in the royal castle and Sarah greeted me.

''Oh my goodness, welcome. It's rare that you're alone.''

'Mother, I've come to talk to you today. I need to speak to your father as well, but if you could tell him first: ......

　Catching Cain's divine expression, Sarah led him to the reception room.
　He faced Sarah in the reception room where he was shown around. I asked the maid to make a cup of tea and then leave.

'Oh no, was there something you wanted to talk about alone with me?

　Sarah visited Cain with a strange look on her face.
　Cain held out a letter from the item box to Sarah.

'What's this letter?'

'I rescued a nobleman who was being attacked by bandits on his way to Malbeek territory for the weekend. This is a letter from Viscount Santos von Guerretta Danlov.

　Sarah's eyes widened in surprise when she heard her name.

'- your father's, Cain found out?　That I am the eldest daughter of the Geretta family: ......

　Cain nodded, and Sarah looked forlorn, opening the sealed wax on the letter with her knife and taking out the letter.
　While he read the letter, Cain watched Sarah's face in silence.
　Sarah gradually read them with tears welling up in her eyes. And by the time she had finished reading it all, she was full of tears.

'I also met your mother's sister when I was at the mansion for the night. I found out the truth when I unintentionally called her 'Mother' because she looked so much like her,

"Lara, ......, I knew Lara's girl was a girl too, .......

'Well, her name was Leela, and she was a little younger than me. Before I turned out to be my mother's child, she asked me to come and adopt her as her son-in-law.

　Cain said jokingly.
　Sarah burst into laughter at his words, tears welling up in her eyes.

'It's just like your father, you're still the same: ....... 'And that's for Garum?'

Yes, I've got a letter for you.

　Sarah put the letter she had finished reading on the table and sipped her tea.

'We'll talk when Garum gets back. With Rayne in it, of course.

Okay. I'll stay until then.

'Yes, it would help if you did. I'm going to have to explain it to you alone at ......, right?　I want Cain, who knows what's going on, to be there as well.

　The tears from earlier had already disappeared and she was back to her usual expression.
　Until Garum returns, he explains to Sarah about school life, the mansion, and the events in Drintle.
　Sarah laughs, clutching her stomach at the fact that Cain is doing something she wasn't expecting.
　With Rayne returning halfway through, the reception room was full of lively conversation.

''Cain-kun, you haven't come to the mansion at all. I'm also busy with student council, so why don't you hang out with me once in a while?

'Sis, even if you say so, you look busy, don't you?　I always see you at the school, but you seemed to be moving around a lot.

You're off to the estate for the weekend, so why don't you take me to Drintle sometime?

'I'd like to go to Drintoll, too. 'Take me there sometime. I'd like to see Alec's face.

　Cain nodded reluctantly, having been accused by the two of them.

''We're still in the process of redeveloping it, so it's hard, you know?　And I've left most of it up to Brother Alec. Let's talk to Brother Alec first and then decide on a time frame.

　As we were talking, there was a knock on the room and the maid informed us that Garum had returned home.

'Could you bring Garum to me, please?

　The maid nodded at Sarah's words and left the room to call Garum.
　Not long after, Garum visited the room.
　When he entered the room, he sat down, smiling bitterly at the fact that Cain was also there, wondering if something had happened again.

'Cain...... did something again... ......

"......, this time it's not me...

　Sarah began to speak, controlling Cain with her hand.

'I'll tell you, dear, something I've been hiding from you for some time now, when I met you I explained that I was Sarah the Adventurer, but I have a family name. Cain, will you send me a letter?

　Cain nodded at Sarah's words and took the letter out of the item box and handed it to Garum.

'What's this letter?'

You'll understand if you read it.

　Garum checks the letter's sealed wax crest.

'This coat of arms is .......'

　He wrinkles his brow at the familiar crest.

'It's from my family. My maiden name is Sarah von Guerretta, the eldest daughter of Viscount Santos.

Nah!

What?

　Garum and Rayne were surprised by Sarah's words.

'You'll understand when you read that letter.

Okay.

　Garum opened the sealed wax and read the letter inside. Halfway through, he looked at Cain and muttered, "Cain again. ......" and continued reading.
　After reading everything, Garum puts the letter down and sighs.

'I didn't expect you to be Lord Santos' daughter ....... That's why he didn't want to attend much of the ceremony.

'Yes, although she left home once, she's also the daughter of a nobleman. I thought it would be a problem for you if I entered into a marriage without greeting my parents' house: .......

Yes, it's an infraction of decorum. But it's still Sir Santos': ......

　Garum and Sarah are wondering what to do in the future. Then Cain approached them.

'About that, Sir Santos asked me to come visit with you sometime ....... He said he'd be happy to see you in good spirits. He also wanted to see Sister Rayne.

'Mmmm ....... It is necessary to go and say hello sooner or later. But I need to be away from the capital for a few days. As expected, I can't leave King's Landing without explaining my reasons to His Majesty.

　Garum has a job in King's Landing. The fact that his wife, who he had thought of as an adventurer until now, is actually a nobleman and going to his family's home is not an explanation for him to leave the royal capital.

''For that matter, ...... I'm already registered as a base, so if you use 'transfer' you can get there in an instant. ......

""......"

I didn't know we had a choice.

　Garum nodded, but Sarah and Rayne didn't understand the situation.

''Cain-kun, transitioning is the magic in those heroic stories and myths, right?　How can they work that kind of magic?

What? - Oh.

　Their voices came together.
　Cain and Garum both made a face that said they had put away, but it was already too late.

'Are you, Cain-kun?　I don't know what that means: ......

　A cold stare pierced through from the two who had a completely different expression from earlier, causing Garum and Cain to break out in a cold sweat.

''No, it's just that, you know, it's a state secret that His Majesty has been told not to talk about as well. ......

'--You know, I wonder why state secrets come up in your family's story: ...... I think we need to have a long talk.

　Garum swims his eyes and sends his gaze to Cain as Sarah smiles at him.
　Cain shook his side with a resigned face.

'-- Mother, I can use my massive amount of magic to transfer once a day. So I thought I'd go to the city of Danlov for the weekend.

　The truth is, no matter how many times you use magic, you will never run out of magic power, but Cain thought it would be more convincing, so he explained.
　Garum also nodded a little suspiciously to Cain's explanation.

The amount of magic power you have is beyond the norm. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it.

　Sarah was again impressed with Cain's progress.

'All right, we'll go to Danlov's this weekend. He's been away from home for over a decade and I owe him an apology too.

　With that word, we were going to the city of Danlov for the weekend.
