"Why, ...... why did this happen!"

--With a thud, Karius Reinbach pounded his fist on his desk and shouted in frustration.

The cause of the Baron Reinbach's anger was his son, Sam, who had run away five years ago.

"That bastard!"

Again Karius punched his desk, this time at his son Sam, who was so poor that he could not even use a sword properly.

Sam, who had been neglected as the son of an untalented man, had instantly killed Albert Frege, the most powerful court wizard in the kingdom, and had even fought a dragon that was about to attack King's Landing.

It seems that the king remembers him well because he reconciled with the dragon not by slaying it but by conversing with it.

He is even said to have become engaged to Lieselotte Walker, the second daughter of Count Walker's family, where he was staying.

There were too many events that were too much for the ill-fated son.

"Samuel, you ...... were supposed to be a failure who couldn't use a sword, but I didn't know you could do so much magic. ...... Why didn't you tell me!"

Currently, the talk among the nobility is all about Sam.

It was the same for the nobles on the frontier.

"Do you have any idea how much I've been ridiculed because of Samuel?

Carius' anger did not abate.

Besides Sam, he had two other sons, Manion and Harry.

Both were gifted with the sword, but Sam had none.

He could not use a sword, let alone any kind of weapons or arms. He was deemed unfit to be the heir to the baronage that had founded the Reinbach family with swords, and he was excluded from the list of successors.

I did not expect that Sam would have such a talent for magic, and that he would be the most powerful in the kingdom.

This led to a reprimand from Viscount Riedyll, with whom he had a close relationship.

Regardless of what Karius thinks, in the general public, wizards are rarer than skilled swordsmen.

He had driven away his eldest son, who probably had the talent of a wizard, and then declared him dead.

The Viscount was furious.

His relationship with Viscount Riedyll was such that he promised to marry off the Viscount's daughter to the Baron's family.

The Viscount initially proposed his daughter Luce Riedyll for Sam's hand in marriage.

It is said that Luce fell in love at first sight with Sam when they greeted each other during a visit to the Baron's house. As a father, he wanted to fulfill his daughter's first love.

However, Carius decided that it would be disrespectful to the other man if he had an inadequate and embarrassing son, so he pushed Mannion, who was going to be the head of the family.

Luce was not happy about it.

But just when she was ready to accept the fact that he was dead, Sam's survival and his success as a wizard came to her.

Thanks to this, the anger of the Viscount continues to this day and shows no sign of abating.

"Shame on Samuel as well as ...... Manion for breaking off the engagement!"

The engagement between the second son Manion and Luce has already been called off.

But even Carius could not protest against the Viscount.

Manion had once been a gifted boy with a sword.

But now he is so fat that he cannot even wield a sword properly.

And now he is so fat he cannot even wield a sword properly. That alone is enough to make him angry.

He was a fool who had learned his lesson by getting his revenge once, but he went for it a second time.

He was foolish enough to try to take the heir's position by killing him instead of changing his attitude toward life, which his mother Yolanda may have encouraged him to do.

Harry fought him off the second time, but the sight of Mannion ranting excuses and giving groundless reasons why he was a better heir than he was pushed Karius to his limits.

As a result, he smashed Mannion with a wooden sword and broke his dominant arm so that he would never be able to misbehave again.

Since then, although he has been quiet and closed up again, Carrius has wanted to kill Mannion in his heart.

"If only Yolanda's family would take him in sooner!"

Manion's mother, Yolanda's father, is a man of extensive business interests.

He should be able to take care of his daughter and grandchildren, but he refuses to accept a man who is so thoughtless as to commit attempted murder.

However, I don't intend to keep them at home forever.

I am afraid that the temper-tantrumming, short-tempered mother and son will attack Harriet and Harry again at any moment.

"We've got to get rid of these nuisances as soon as possible."

I don't care what happens to Manion and Yolanda.

Carius wanted to get rid of one more problem.

"And speaking of trouble, that little baroness ...... has turned down the chance to become Harry's promising fiancée. You really want that lousy son so badly!"

The Viscounts had given up on Manion, who had no future, and proposed an engagement to Harry, the most gifted swordsman and the official heir, but Luce and the Viscount rejected the proposal.

Annoyingly, he was told that "there was no need to make a marriage proposal to someone whose illegitimate son might appear and replace the heir.

He even said that if he was going to make a match, he would prefer Sam.

I was humiliated.

It was so angry and abhorrent to be mocked by a frontier viscount who had never left the countryside, and who used to live in King's Landing and was the heir to a viscount's family.

This is all Samuel's fault! If it weren't for him!"

Today, Carius is mocked by the nobles with whom he associates as "a fool who failed to see the talent of his son.

Manion is the one who kicked him out of the house, but somehow the people around him know about the way he treated Sam before that, and Karius' reputation has been ruined.
