Chapter 201: King's Younger Brother's Mansion 1
Translated by AmaLynne
“Hahaha, how delightful this is! To think there’s a girl who can handle Gu?nther like that. I wish I could have been there.”
“If there’s a next time, I’ll invite you.”
“Please do.”
Laughing as if he found it entertaining, it was King Clyde Isle Sky of the Sky Kingdom.
He had heard from Sam about the recent incident involving Gu?nther and Claire and was roaring with laughter.
“For me, it’s just a funny story, but it must have been tough for you, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it was very challenging. Gu?nther throws tantrums and doesn’t want to return to the mansion, and Claire gets excited watching him.”
In the end, it had been a hectic time until Duke Ignatz and Baron Doik came to collect the two.
Impressively, both the Duke and the Baron had deeply apologized for the children causing a commotion at someone else’s home.
The Duke even left Sam with a message, “I’m sorry, but I’m counting on you to take care of my son.”
Sam had no idea what the Duke meant by “take care,” so he decided not to dwell on it.
Then, on the day after the two met, despite Gu?nther’s resistance, Duke Ignatz publicly announced that Claire was the fiancée of his son and the heir apparent, Gu?nther.
Since then, Gu?nther had locked himself in his room.
“Well, Father, if you speak too loudly, your true identity might be revealed.”
In addition to Sam and Clyde, there was one more person present—Stella Isle Sky, the first princess of the Sky Kingdom.
She was a slightly older girl with beautiful white hair compared to Sam.
“That’s true, I apologize, I apologize.”
“Father, you seem to be a bit too cheerful.”
“Don’t say that. It’s been a while since I’ve been out.”
Most of the time when Sam met Clyde and Stella, it was at the royal palace.
However, today they were outside the palace.
The reason was to visit the mansion of Clyde’s late brother, not by a subject as initially planned, but guided personally by the king himself.
Since Stella was interested, she joined them, and Sam, along with his fiancée and her father, strolled the capital together.
“Lately, I’ve been busy with my duties, so it’s nice to be able to stretch my wings like this. It’s rare for me to go out in public with my daughter and son-in-law-to-be, but it’s nice to be able to take a stroll without attracting attention.”
“Getting some exercise is a good thing. Mother has been worried about your health, given how busy you’ve been lately.”
“I appreciate the concern, but I’m not that fragile. Nevertheless, taking a break is necessary.”
The three of them were walking through what was commonly referred to as the noble district, where the mansions of the nobility were clustered.
Of course, there were guards in the shadows to protect the two members of the royal family.
Furthermore, measures such as traffic control were being carried out in a distant location to prevent people from approaching this area.
In the unlikely event that something happened, the guards would take action, but even in the worst-case scenario, Sam would be near Clyde and Stella.
So, harming the two of them would be quite difficult.
Clyde seemed quite satisfied that he could stroll through the capital after a long time.
Not using a carriage and walking on his own two feet was because he wanted to savor this rare moment of simple pleasure.
Stella, who had recently started learning not only academics but also horse riding and swordsmanship, was also enjoying the view outside the palace, despite the lack of attention from the public.
As Stella curiously looked around, Clyde approached Sam quietly.
“By the way, Sam. I heard you got entangled with Cordelia recently.”
“Yes.”
“It seems she told you to become Rachel’s husband. I apologize on her behalf.”
Sam’s eyes widened in surprise.
He hadn’t expected King Clyde to know that Cordelia, the Second Queen, had asked him to marry the Second Princess, Rachel.
Since he didn’t want to create any waves in their peaceful days, he had kept silent, but apparently, it was not a well-kept secret.
Most likely, someone from the king’s side had infiltrated the maids or knights led by Queen Cordelia.
“No, it’s not necessary for King to apologize.”
“What my wife did is my responsibility… She tends to spoil our daughter. Rachel grew up being indulged, and I’m partly to blame. I apologize once again.”
“No, there’s no need for an apology.”
“Don’t worry, it’s strange to say this, but it seems Cordelia has lost interest in you. Originally, she wanted to use you as a pawn, considering the request from Rachel and her desire to have a court magician. But I believe she realized that you wouldn’t listen to her. Cordelia may be arrogant, but she’s not a fool.”
Sam didn’t say it out loud, but he was relieved that he wouldn’t be bothered by Cordelia anymore.
“As for Rachel, she has a bad habit of wanting things that belong to others. This time, I had to talk to her sternly. I pray that she won’t trouble you in the future.”
“Forgive me for saying this, but I also hope for the same.”
“I believe you refrained from telling Cordelia and the others because you were considerate. But if something similar happens again, please speak up for our sake. You are going to be my son, after all. There’s no need to be reserved. It would be inappropriate for us to inconvenience you.”
“Thank you for your consideration. I’ll be more careful from now on.”
“Very well. You may find me unreliable but rely on those around you more. Ah, Sam, Stella, this is it. This is my younger brother, Roig’s mansion.”
As they chatted with the king, who would soon become their father-in-law, Sam, and the others arrived at their destination—the mansion of Roig Isle Sky.
