"Sam. Did something happen with Liese? I don't think so, but I had a fight with you ...... No, I don't think so."
After dinner, Lise, her face still gloomy, went back to her room alone.
Normally, Lise would spend most of the time in Sam's room chatting or having tea with her sisters and Hualien, but she was acting strangely, perhaps because she had had an unwanted reunion with her ex-husband during the day.
Jonathan and his sisters have noticed the change in their daughter.
Sam was called to Jonathan's room and asked to tell him about the day's events.
"Actually, I met Lise's ex-husband, Julien Michel, in the castle town.
He reports his findings while standing across the desk from the office.
I did not feel comfortable talking without Lise's permission, but I could not keep silent to Jonathan who was worried about his daughter.
I met Julian in the castle town.
Lise felt uncomfortable because of his familiarity with her.
She told him that she would take Mizuki as her wife and that she had been warned not to say anything.
"I see. So you've met that man because of ......?"
"I'm sorry. I was with him and he said whatever he wanted."
"Sam is not the one to apologize. It's not Sam's place to apologize. He's always been that way. At first glance he seems like a nice guy, but inside he's ......"
"I almost laid a hand on you. No, I regret that I should have."
"I understand how you feel. But thank God you didn't touch me."
Sam sits down when Jonathan urges him to sit on the sofa.
His father-in-law sat down on the other side of the table.
"The Walkers and the Michels used to be close friends. The previous head of the family was a very successful man. Because of this, Lise and Julien were once married, but you know how that turned out. If the previous head of the family had lived, that would not have happened.
Jonathan sighs bitterly.
"The previous head of the family, sir?"
"I don't think Sam knows this, but the previous head of the Michel family, Mr. Mendes, was a wonderful man. He was well remembered by His Majesty the King and was an excellent swordsman.
"I didn't know there was such a person."
When the Sword Saint Amemiya Kurando-dono came to the continent from his country, he was one of the first to recognize his talent and ability and to assist him."
"Heh."
(I don't think so, but is that why you made Julian a candidate for successor to the Sword Saint? (No, that's too much to ask.)
I had a thought in my mind, but I did not say it out loud.
Frankly speaking, I don't care if Julian becomes a saint or not.
I know that he would not want such a man to be his father's successor, considering what happened to Mizuki and Kotomi, but what is important to Sam now is Liese.
"But his grandson is not a good man. Lise thought she was finally on the mend after meeting Sam. The fact that she was once married to such a man will never go away. I'm sorry, but please take care of Lise."
"Of course. I'll visit your room later. I think that Mr. Hualien is seeing you right now.
After dinner, Lise went back to her room alone, and Sam saw that Hualien had followed her.
They have been meeting daily and get along well with each other.
Hanae and Liese, who is a self-paced person and a caring person, get along so well together that sometimes Sam is jealous of Hanae.
So I am sure that she is still a good companion for Liese.
"I see... Hualien-dono is... It would be rude to say this, but I am glad that Liese and Karen are getting along so well.
"Me too."
Liese was jealous of Stella, but she did not show much jealousy toward Karen.
Perhaps it was because they were only arranged marriages and not engaged, or perhaps she felt as if she had one more sister to take care of.
"Regardless of what Sam and Hualien-dono are going to do in the future, as a father, I would like to thank the fact that there are other people who care about Lise besides us."
"I understand how you feel. I am grateful to you, too.
"But, Julien, you can't be serious. I never thought you were planning to marry Mizuki-dono.
Jonathan spits it out in disgust.
Sam agrees with him.
"I heard that after he divorced Liese, he divorced the woman he was with again. How can he make one move after another?
After Julian divorced Liese, he married and divorced another woman.
He has been married and divorced from other women after divorcing Liese, and he is now trying to get his hands on Mizuki again.
If he still had feelings for Mizuki, it might be understandable, but Julian clearly said that he did not like her, but he wanted to become a kensei.
As a man, I find this extremely unpleasant.
"I have kept my distance from that family for the past two years, but I have heard bad rumors. Julien has his problems, but the mother of the head of the family, Misery Michel, is also a troubled person. I know that it was Misery more than Julien that drove Lise away."
"I see. You're not a very good father and son, are you?
"No doubt. The only regret is that we belong to the same faction, so we can't clearly antagonize each other. We are protesting by cutting ties and ignoring them, but I wonder how effective this will be.
"Let's leave it alone. We won't see each other again. Mizuki-sama has no intention of marrying that man.
In fact, Mizuki had no intention of marrying Julian, and in fact, he seemed to be annoyed.
As a matter of fact, why would Mizuki, who was a friend of Liese's and knew to some extent what had caused the divorce, marry Julian?
"But he is a candidate for the successor of Kensei-dono. It's hard to say that he won't get involved at all."
"...... might be a good place to start."
But Julian is the candidate for the heir to the sword.
"Sir?"
"No, I heard he could play the sword a little, but I didn't think he was good enough to succeed to the title of Sword Saint."
What Jonathan wondered was also said by Lise.
And I recall that Mizuki had clearly declared him "weak.
Sam also did not get the impression from Julian's behavior that he was a swordsman accustomed to fighting.
"In my opinion, I don't think he's a very good swordsman.
"If Sam says so, then so be it. Well, okay. I'm sure Sam won't be amused, but if he gets involved again, just ignore him. He'll get on your nerves. It's best not to get involved with that house."
Yes, sir. I will try to do so.
I'm sorry. As a father myself, I feel sorry for you, but nobility has its ties.
I understand.
"Thank you."
"No, well, it's time to go to Lise-sama's."
I found myself spending quite a bit of time with Jonathan.
I don't know what happened with Lise and Karen, but I think it's time for Sam to show his face.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I held you up. Take care of my daughter."
"--Yes."
Sam thanked Jonathan and got up to go to Lise's room.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Sam. Did something happen with Liese? I don't think so, but I had a fight with you ...... No, I don't think so."
