Excuse me. Count Walker. I've finished treating Master Burning Dragon and Samuel, and I've come to inform you..."
"Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Magnolia. Please have a seat."
Jonathan Walker, who had been putting away papers in his room, sat up and bowed as Magnolia was ushered in by the maid.
Jonathan was courteous to the Earl because he was the first seat of the court wizard and his superior, although he had the same rank as the Earl.
"Thank you very much. Please don't hesitate."
Jonathan sits down so that he is facing Magnolia on the sofa.
"You must be tired. If you don't mind, let me offer you a glass of wine, but you don't drink alcohol, do you? Then let me prepare some tea for you.
"Thank you for your concern."
I looked over to the maid who was waiting in the room, and she quickly prepared a cup of tea.
The rich aroma of the tea wafted into the room, and then a teacup was placed in front of both of them.
They moistened their throats before talking, and Magnolia was the first to open her mouth.
"Samuel is a straight and good boy, isn't he?
"Yes. I'm really looking forward to seeing your future, since you are so good at magic.
I agree with you. That's why I don't understand why the Baroness Reinbach gave up such a great talent like him.
Jonathan was surprised to hear the name "Reinbach" come out of Magnolia's mouth.
"Did you know?"
"Well, you see, Lord Samuel became famous overnight. The youngest court wizard, the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye, and good enough to fight dragons on equal terms - he's too good to ignore. I'm sure the Count has been in touch with you in various ways."
"You seem to know what I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, since this morning, we have received numerous offers for Sam as a son-in-law.
All the paperwork Jonathan had been putting away was a matchmaking offer for Sam.
"He is still a minor, despite his impressive fighting skills. He's still a minor, and he's not related to his family. He would be a perfect match for her."
"What is a headache is that I get letters from aristocrats asking me, a royalist, to arrange a meeting with them. Moreover, they include a picture of your daughter.
Jonathan is more than a little amused by the offer from the rival faction to set up a match.
As he looks bitter, Magnolia gives him a wry smile.
"I guess they think they can get away with it if they can get him as a son-in-law."
"If you can think of manipulating him at will after seeing his abilities, I'm impressed.
"The aristocrats must be desperate. Albert, the Marquis of Gordon, and all the aristocrats who were associated with him are gone. It must be more convenient for the Earls of Walker.
"You are right. For us, the royalists, this is a good opportunity to destroy the aristocrats.
You will not be able to dismantle the aristocracy.
Even if we do, there is a possibility that another faction will be born or a small knight faction will grow.
It is best to keep them at a level where they cannot move.
I would like to put a quick end to the stupid factional strife within the country, starting with the king.
However, it will not be easy because factional strife has always been a negative aspect of the aristocracy.
What do you think of the future of Samuel, Count?
What do you mean by "how?"
Jonathan asked back, not understanding the intent of Magnolia's question.
"As I told you earlier, I would like to marry my granddaughter, Karen, to Lord Samuel," he said.
"--Mokuren-dono?"
Jonathan's voice was puzzled by Mokuren's too-sudden idea.
Magnolia kept smiling and continued talking.
"We, the Purple Clan, are a family whose mission is to leave behind the blood of a great wizard," he said.
"I know."
If Jonathan remembers correctly, the Purple Clan is a family from a country on a continent far from the Kingdom of Skye.
They were skilled in various kinds of magic and served the king of that land.
But the country became corrupt and civil war broke out. The ancestors of Magnolia got fed up with this and fled their country, moving from place to place, taking in the blood of excellent wizards in various places, until they ended up in the Kingdom of Skye.
With such ancestry, Magnolia, her husband, her daughter and her husband's wife, and her granddaughter were all magically gifted.
"My granddaughter, like me, is skilled in recovery magic, and even if she is not favored by her relatives, she is probably an excellent magician. I think she will be a good partner for Samuel.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
