Chapter 64: Heard about Ur Master ②
Translated by AmaLynne
Edited by AmaLynne
「―――!? Ur’s master is the most powerful man in the kingdom?」
「Calm down, Sam. Delight-tono used to be the most powerful wizard in the Sky Kingdom. Not anymore.」
「Former?」
Jonathan tames Sam’s emotional reaction to the word「most powerful」.
「A few years ago, Albert Frege, the second seat of the current Court of Wizards, defeated him and knocked him out of the top spot.」
「I see. So the strongest person in the kingdom now is someone named Albert? I thought it was Ur.」
About five years. Having stood by Ur and watched her strength, Sam could not believe that there was a wizard stronger than her.
Delight, Ur’s mentor, was still within the realm of understanding, but when told that it was someone else, he honestly could not hide his bewilderment.
Jonathan chuckled at Sam’s statement and told her.
「This may be a bit of family favoritism, but I think Ur was stronger than Albert. But he disliked Albert, who was not a good student, and tried to stay out of his life. He thought he was running away.」
「Excuse me, but do you not like this court wizard named Albert very much?」
Sam questioned Jonathan’s attitude.
He felt that even Günther, the current court wizard, not to mention Delight, Ur’s master, seemed to have a certain amount of respect for him.
In Günther’s case, they seemed closer, but that was probably due to their daughter’s childhood friendship.
But only when he mentioned Albert’s name did he senses a slight sarcasm in his words.
「I’m sorry, I guess my attitude got the better of me. I don’t like Albert, for the record.」
It was unexpected.
He dislikes Jonathan, who accepts a man like himself who doesn’t know anything about him and treats him kindly. ?
(What kind of a guy is this Albert?)
「Aside from belonging to a rival faction, he has a vicious habit of picking on the weak, he uses his position as a court wizard as a cover to do whatever he wants behind the scenes. I don’t like men like that.」
「Won’t the royal court take note?」
「He does, in a manner of speaking. He received a direct warning from His Majesty the King, so outwardly he is quiet, but…」
「Not much has changed behind the scenes, has it?」
「He’s protected by the nobles behind them.」
「After hearing a little, I didn’t like the guy either.」
Jonathan chuckled at Sam’s words.
He is the type of person Sam hates the most, too.
Bullying the weak to show off one’s power is not something that a real strong man would do.
(He may have magical ability, but he’s a small human being.)
Sam was displeased that such a person would call himself the strongest.
「By the way, if I defeat Albert, am I allowed to call myself the strongest?」
「I knew you were going to say that… Albert himself beat Delight-tono and called himself the strongest, so I guess if you beat him, you can call yourself the strongest. But whether he agrees to fight or not is another matter.」
「I’m looking forward to it. Oh, by the way, who’s in the first seat?」
「Ah, the first seat of the court wizard, Magnolia-dono, is the best recovery wizard in the country. He doesn’t fight. He specializes only in healing.」
「Hee. I didn’t know there was such a person.」
Very interesting indeed.
Few people can use magic itself, but there are even fewer wizards who can use restorative magic.
Sam could only use basic magic, and Ur could not use it at all.
He naturally became interested in a wizard named Magnolia, who specializes in recovery magic and is the first in the court of wizards.
「He is not an enemy of anyone. He is an honorable man who is always thinking only of healing the wounded. Just to let you know, if you ever meet him, please be respectful and don’t be rude.」
「I rarely pick a fight, either.」
「I know that’s the case… but you seem to always attract danger. I know it’s not your fault about Erika and Günther, but it just goes on and on.」
「I’m sorry. But as far as Günther is concerned, I am completely the victim.」
Remembering that pervert, Sam pulls in his cheeks.
One minute he was calling himself Ur’s fiancée, the next he was saying he was going to be his wife.
I’m the man, you’re the son-in-law, Sam thought, but he had a bad feeling about it, so he didn’t speak up.
The nightmare of being chased by a naked pervert is not likely to be forgotten for a while, until Lise and Erika finally stopped it.
「That’s terrible, Sam. That makes it sound like I’m the only one to blame.」
It was Günther, dressed in a bathrobe, who appeared saying such a thing.
His hair was moist and wet, and his well-groomed appearance made him look glamorous.
If it were not for people like Sam and the others who knew his true nature, they would have been blinded by Günther.
「―――No, you’re totally wrong. I mean, you shouldn’t be walking around the master’s house in your bathrobe without permission.」
「The Count Walker’s is like another family home to me. Uncle, it was a nice hot bath. As always, the bathrooms at Count Walker’s are nice. I am very excited to think that Ulrike used it once and now Sam is using it.」
「……as ever, you are.」
「……oh no more, you pervert.」
Sam is fed up with Günther’s straight line of perversion, and Jonathan looks drawn.
The sisters, who had been watching the conversation between their father and Sam, also looked blatantly disgusted.
