"Haaaaaaah!"

"It hurts me too when you sigh so loudly."

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't care about you, but I'm engaged to Lieselotte Walker and Stella Isle Sky as well.

"I know."

"I'm still a minor, and I just became a court wizard, and I'm wondering if I should just keep getting more wives."

"...... Don't you want a harem?"

"No, sir! I didn't know I was that misunderstood!"

What a terrible misunderstanding," Sam shrugs.

(Well, I'm engaged to Stella after Lise, and I'm meeting with Karen today, so I guess I could be misunderstood as having a desire for a harem--I'm innocent!)

We should consider ourselves fortunate that Liese has not misunderstood.

I would be in despair if she thought I was a harem-hungry bastard.

"I don't care if you have a harem desire or not. I don't know if you and I will get married. I'm undecided at the moment. But..."

But what?

"If you show me the strength to do it, I will do it."

"Show strength, you say? ...... In case you're wondering."

What?

"Well, you mean you don't care if I have another wife, as long as I show strength?"

"Yes. Polygamy is not uncommon among the nobility, so I don't mind. Your father has three wives."

It is not unusual for an aristocratic man to have more than one wife.

The nobleman Sam knows best is Count Jonathan Walker, who has only one wife, Grace.

According to Lise and others, Grace was very jealous and did not approve of side wives.

More than that, they say that Jonathan was so much in love with Grace that he could not look at other women.

They are the rare aristocrats who fell in love, had a relationship, and got married.

"All I want is to marry a good wizard and have good wizard children.

"............"

Hearing Hualien's words, Sam knew he had to ask.

"I'm undecided on whether or not I'm going to marry you, but I want to ask you something."

"Hmm."

"Suppose we get married and have children in the future. What if that child doesn't have the gift of magic?"

I couldn't help but ask before the question of whether or not to marry.

I know Liese well enough to know that she would love an ordinary child without a hitch.

However, I was worried about what she would do if her child did not have any talents, as she was an excellent magician and fighter like Hualien.

In the past, Sam was treated unfavorably just because he was not gifted with a sword.

Sam did not find it hard, but it was true that he was angry at the way he was treated.

If Hualien is the same as the people of the Reinbach family, who are not very flattering to him, he will get up from his seat right here and now.

"-I hadn't thought about it."

"You should think about it. You can't always have the kind of child you want."

"Hmm."

Hualien crossed her arms and made a gesture of thinking, and after a while she opened her mouth.

"I don't think so. The Purple Clan, without exception, has children born with magical talents."

"But it is possible that the first exception could be your child, and even if he or she has magical talent, it does not mean that he or she is good. Can you love such a child properly?"

"...... interesting to hear. It is natural for parents to love their children. I think that those who do not love are somehow flawed."

I agree with you that it's not human.

But Sam has known parents who did not love their children who were not born the way they wanted.

"But you want a child of a good wizard, don't you?"

"That's my first choice. But I don't expect it to be what I want. The world is unreasonable and mean. It is possible that my child will not be able to use magic, as you say. But if that is the case, I can train him in the physical arts, or even make him learn to use a sword. If he is well, I am happy for him.

"...... Sorry. I must have misunderstood ...... you, Karen."

Sam realizes that he has overreacted to Hualien's clear words and apologizes.

She shakes her head and says she doesn't mind.

"--Hmm. But I didn't expect that."

"What is it?"

"You said you weren't interested in an arranged marriage, but we were talking about having a child."

"No, that's... that's... that's... that's... that's... that's... that's... that's...

"Just kidding. I know you didn't have a good time at home because of your lack of talent with a sword. That's why you're here, isn't it?

"Yes."

"I don't know if I'll ever marry you, but I'm glad you're a kind man."

Hualien smiled as she said this.

Sam gulps as he sees her expression clearly change for the first time.

She had always been expressionless, but when she smiled, she was very pretty.

Sam clears his throat and changes the subject, as if to cover up the fact that his eyes had been caught by her smile, even if only for a moment.

"Well, what are we going to do now?"

I'm hungry.

It's almost lunchtime. Since we're in a fancy restaurant, let's order something.

"Yes."

Hualien nodded her head while her expression returned to blank, and I thought she was looking forward to the meal.

Sam rings the doorbell and orders a meal with Hualien.

The food was exquisite, as the restaurant was a popular high-class restaurant that was patronized by aristocrats.

Sam was not sure whether he would marry Hualien or not, and Sam was not keen on the idea, but after a series of casual conversations, he realized that he and Hualien had a lot to talk about.

Hualien is not very emotional and her words are not very expressive, but after a while, he began to read her emotions.

The conversation was lively and the blind date was over in no time.

We had a good time listening to her talk about her health, her daily efforts in magic and body art, her frustration and longing for her grandmother, and so on.

I just wish I could have talked with Hualien a little bit more.

The blind date ended without incident, leaving me with a slight sense of regret.
