"You are not greedy. You will be related to the royal family. Many would envy your position."
The king asked him if he was testing him, and Sam smiled back.
"I'm fine with mediocrity."
"How can you call me mediocre when you are the most powerful man in our country? But it is precisely because of you that I want to entrust my daughter to you.
"I don't mean to be rude, but I've had enough of dealing with aristocrats, you know, like Günther, the next head of the ducal family, and I'm sure others in the same position are similar.
"As you can imagine, the other dukes would be furious to be lumped in with him. I don't want to be lumped in with them. But your wife? Isn't that right?"
No, sir, I'm not.
But Günther...
No, sir.
"Oh, yeah."
Yes, that's right.
I must assure you that Günther's claim that she is his wife is clearly not true.
If he is not careful, he will really try to get himself a wife.
Especially since he got engaged to Liese, he seems to think he has a chance to do so, if he knows what he is doing.
As usual, he is a man whose mind I cannot understand. No, I don't want to understand him.
He may not be a bad person to have as a friend, but he is not my wife at all.
"Well, I don't care about Günther. I'm more interested in my daughter."
"Oh, no. I couldn't fool them.
"My daughter Stella was born to the first queen. She is a little older than you at 18, but not by much.
"The first queen's daughter for me? I mean, shouldn't he be marrying people who should be more connected to him?"
Clyde sighed with a troubled look on his face at Sam's reasonable words.
"To tell you the truth, she's a bit of a pain in the ass," he said.
"Troublesome, you say?"
Most people with royal blood are born with silver hair with a hint of blue. I, too, have more gray hair than silver, but I still have a tinge of blue, don't I?
Pointing to his own hair, Clyde's head was indeed gray but silver with a hint of blue.
"It's definitely a little blue," he said.
"I can see it more clearly in the sun. My children are all the same, except one."
"I didn't know you were one of them."
Yes. My daughter, Stella, was the only one with gray hair.
According to the king, not all children are born with silver hair with a hint of blue.
In fact, Clyde's brother was blonde like his mother.
So Stella's gray hair is not unusual and neither the King nor the Queen is concerned about it.
"But the gray-haired girl, who is the proof of the queen's wrongdoing, is a princess, and is not worthy of being a princess and is hated by the rest of the kingdom, so she has withdrawn from the world.
"Whoa!"
Sam raised his voice, as if he didn't care about disrespect.
The king, however, did not look displeased or angry, but continued the story.
(The king said something about settings! Princess, what reason do you have for being a recluse?)
"In fact, there are times when those who see the gray hair of a daughter suspect the queen of infidelity. That's why we know that Stella was subjected to cruel words from an early age."
"Well, that makes me want to stay in the house."
Do not misunderstand me. I and the queens love Stella very much. Being cooped up in the house is not a problem.
"Well, what do you mean?"
Our country's heir is our eldest son, Cedric.
I know who you are.
Even Sam, who is not familiar with politics, knows this much.
No, he did not, but Liese had taught him beforehand.
Cedric is the eldest son of the king, the son of the first queen.
He is also the twin brother of Princess Stella, who is currently the topic of conversation.
"The heir has been chosen. I have already stated that. But still there are those who would do anything against my wishes."
"Are there nobles who are trying to put up another?"
"Yes. There are more people than you might think who are trying to make Stella, or any other prince, the next king."
(Aside from other princes, I don't see the point of carrying a reclusive princess. No, is she good enough to be a puppet? Hmmm, I have no idea about the ties of royalty.)
Sam continues to be puzzled as to why the king finds Princess Stella so troublesome and why he wants her to marry him.
He sympathizes with the fact that she is a child suspected of wrongdoing because of her gray hair, but if her parents love her, there is nothing wrong with that.
She will be hurt, but let those who want to say it say it.
It would not do to force such a princess out of the palace, at least that's what Sam thought.
