"How do you do, Mr. Burning Dragon, Samuel Scheidt? My name is Shih Lily Magnolias. I am a restoration wizard in the first seat of the court wizards.

In the reception room of the Earl of Walker's house, a woman in her mid-fifties smiled kindly.

She sat on the sofa with a calm demeanor that conveyed an air of serenity.

Her indigo hair, which had a hint of gray in it, was tied in a bun at the top of her head.

The clothes he wore were different from those we see in the Kingdom of Skye, and appeared to be traditional clothing.

"Hello, my name is Samuel Scheidt. Thank you very much for coming.

"Thanks for your help."

Sam greets him politely while sitting on the sofa, to which the scorching dragon responds irreverently with his legs crossed.

Sam poked her with his elbow, but her attitude did not change.

"No, Samuel-sama fought for this country, and the dragon is a victim. It is only natural that we should help him.

"Thank you."

There are no members of the Countess Walker family here.

The counts who greeted Magnolia first are waiting in another room for him to finish his treatment.

"Well, let's start the treatment right away. Excuse me, Mr. Burning Dragon.

"Yes, please."

Magnolia stood up, went behind the cross-legged Burning Dragon, covered her body gently as if hugging her, and poured magic power into her.

"I guess that's what a dragon is like. Most of the wounds seem to be healed. I don't know whether I should be surprised at the dragon's resilience, or be amazed at Samuel-sama for inflicting this much damage.

While Magnolia is smiling, the dragon's wounds are healing.

The visible lacerations were closed by simple recovery magic and the dragon's healing power, but not even its inner self was healed.

As a proof of this, there were many bruises on the skin peeking through the burning dragon's clothes.

However, those bruises are disappearing neatly by Magnolia's recovery magic.

"--Ho! That's a wonderful restorative magic. Thank you.

"I am honored by your compliments. Now, the next one is Samuel.

Please do.

In one breath, Magnolia had finished treating the burning dragon, and then began to treat Sam.

He wrapped his arms around Sam's body in the same way, and began to flow magic power into him.

"...... This is amazing."

I could feel the soft, warm magic flowing into me.

I could feel my body healing from the inside out.

The dull aches and pains in Sam's body disappeared one after another, and his body became lighter.

Within a minute, Sam was completely healed.

"It's over. Are you both feeling any discomfort?

"No. I'm cured. Now we can un-humanize him.

"I have no problem either. Thank you, Mr. Magnolia.

When Sam thanked him, Magnolia smiled and nodded.

He returned to the sofa, sipped the still steaming tea, and exhaled heavily.

"Hmm. Age makes us tired of using magic, doesn't it? Well, Samuel..."

"Yes?"

"I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

After the preamble, Magnolia looked Sam straight in the eye and then opened her mouth.

I have lived my life thinking that my mission is to heal the wounded, regardless of race or species.

I think it's admirable.

"Thank you. That is why I do not approve of the taking of life. So let's ask the question. Was it necessary to kill Albert Frege?

"Yes, there was."

When asked by Magnolia the same question that the king had asked him, Sam answered clearly and unequivocally.

"Did you have any doubts?"

Yes, he insulted my master, my family, and the people I care about. I couldn't forgive him. He also brought this country to an unprecedented crisis with his illegal trade of illusory species and demons. Even if I had not done what I did, they would have been executed.

There was no reason to keep Albert alive.

A person like that would not admit to something that is wrong with him and often resents it.

There was a good chance that someone I cared about might get hurt because of my unnecessary mercy.

In that case, it would be much better to kill them without leaving any sorrow.

"Certainly, the death penalty would have been unavoidable. His Majesty decided to destroy the Count of Freige and his family, the Viscounts. Albert's father was executed for his crime, and the rest of his family and relatives were deported.

"I think that's all I did."

I have no sympathy.

Albert's parents are responsible for not disciplining their son to prevent him from doing such a thing.

"I agree with you, but I was against the harsh punishment.

"Mokuren-sama, please cherish your thoughts, Mokuren-sama. I will go my own way."

No matter how many times Sam would have made the same choice, no matter how many times Magnolia might have disagreed.

He would do the same again and again, even if someone like Albert comes along in the future.

I like Mokuren's kindness, but it is only Mokuren's idea, not Sam's.

For some reason, Magnolia smiled at Sam's opinion.

"It's nice to be young. They are so straight, which is dazzling and enviable. What do you think, Mr. Samuel? Will you marry my grandson?"
