Jonathan Walker sat on the bed in his bedroom in his robe and sighed loudly.
His wife Grace, who was applying lotion to his face, calls out to him from the mirror.
You look tired.
"Yeah, it's been a heady day."
"Is something troubling you?"
I've been talking to Sam about a marriage proposal.
"--Well!"
Grace put her cosmetics away quickly and sat down next to her husband.
"Who is he with?"
"This is Lady Karen's granddaughter, Lady Karen."
"Well, you have a grandson of Mokuren-sama? It's a good match, isn't it?"
"It will be a good match for Sam and my family. Lord Magnolia has expressed his interest in adopting Sam as Count Walker's son and then making a marriage proposal. He must have been concerned about us."
"It would be better than marrying Sam to a family that only sees his power and wants to take him in."
I agree with that."
Magnolia has the status of a court magician and the best recovery magic user in the kingdom, and is trusted by the king.
If Sam is going to be a court magician and the strongest magician in the kingdom, he will have the best support from the king.
However, Jonathan is worried that Mokuren just wants to take Sam in like the other nobles.
However, in a sense, Mokuren is a clean man.
He has told her in advance that he wants the blood of a good wizard in his family and that it is for the sake of his granddaughter.
Unlike the nobleman who plans to take advantage of Sam, he is not completely unaware of Sam's situation.
"Mokuren-dono has also offered to take my granddaughter as his concubine. He also said that he would be willing to join our faction.
"It's a good match for us. I don't know about Sam. But is that why you look so difficult? It's not the first time you've had trouble with a marriage proposal.
Grace is right that the Earls of Walker are currently struggling with their daughters' marriages.
Alicia is being courted by a childhood friend, and although she does not want to, she is having a hard time saying no.
Erica has been asked to marry into a family of wizards, but they are not yet sure of their feelings.
The late Ur was also in a difficult situation. Offers of marriage came in from all over the country to marry a court wizard.
Lise, too, was in great demand as a disciple of the saint of swords. However, in the end, she failed to choose a marriage partner. Liese is now being offered a marriage proposal.
Some of the family members who have no daughters in the family want to marry Liese, who is a returnee, in order to make a connection with Sam.
Of course, Jonathan, who puts his daughter's happiness first, sends back a letter of refusal without considering it.
So Grace said that there was no need to worry about Sam at this point.
However, it was not just the proposal that was bothering Jonathan.
"Some of the families are trying to get Sam involved. I don't know when or where he's going to get a woman."
"......I hear that boys that age are very interested in the opposite s*x. If an attractive person asks you out - no, Sam has a boyfriend named Ur."
"Even if you have feelings for someone, you have to make it work. It's not impossible.
"So, what are you going to do? Even if you can refuse the marriage proposal, how do you stop the family from plotting to entangle you?"
"The best thing would be to give him some experience with women so that he can develop a little tolerance, but it's kind of hard to say, you know. That's the role of a father or an older brother, isn't it?"
I love Sam like a son, and he loves me, but it's hard to talk to him about sensitive matters.
I don't think he'd say, "Hey, Sam. Are you a virgin? I'm in danger with women, so why don't you get some experience?" I can't say that.
No, it would be hard to say that even to immediate family members.
"What if I take her to a whorehouse?"
After a long pondering, Grace's brow furrowed at the muttering that leaked out from Jonathan.
"I don't think you should go to a whorehouse. You never know who is connected to whom. And no maids, please. Sam is very popular and the maids might be more attracted to her."
Indeed, brothels are sometimes used by the nobility.
We don't know where they are connected to rival nobles.
In the worst case, they could be the cause of Sam being taken in.
Men are difficult creatures.
"Not as much as women. Either way, it's a headache, but that's not what I'm worried about, I'm worried about Liese."
"--Yes, of course. I'm sure Lise adores Sam."
Both Jonathan and Grace would think of Lise if they were going to marry Sam to another family's child.
It is understandable for parents. Everyone wants their daughters to be happy.
Especially Lise, who has had an unfavorable marriage, so I feel more strongly about it.
"Now what should I do? Oops, it looks like someone is here..."
Jonathan, with his head in his hands, felt the presence of someone and turned his attention to the bedroom door, where a knock sounded.
"It doesn't matter. Come in."
"Excuse me. Father, mother..."
"Oh, Lise."
Is something wrong?
The owner of the sign was Lise, the second daughter of the family.
Jonathan and the others responded in a calm manner, as they had been talking about their daughter until just before.
"I am sorry. We wanted to talk to your fathers, but we heard you two talking."
"It is."
Liese smiled at them, as if she did not care that they were listening to her.
But..,
"No, I understand. Sam has his place too. I don't want him to get hurt later because he didn't get used to women. If that is the case, would you be willing to leave that role to me?
Jonathan and Grace were wide-eyed and astonished by Lise's statement.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
