Royal Palace at night. In the office of King Clyde, he and Amamiya Kurando, the Sword Saint, are seen.
Kurando was well dressed, and his wounds from Sam had been cleaned by Magnolia's treatment.
However, his left arm was missing.
"Kurando, you didn't have your arm connected by Mokuren, did you?"
Clyde said to his friend, who was on his knees and hanging his head, with a sigh.
"I don't deserve it, sir," he said.
"I have heard all about what has happened. I thought I had lost my mind when I heard you were going to duel with Sam, but I had no idea that my daughter was being held hostage. The Michels, they've done a foolish thing."
I am sorry, sir.
I'm sorry. At least you could have consulted my friend - no, my daughter has been taken hostage, that would have been difficult.
Clyde sympathizes with Kurando.
Feeling indebted to Mendes, the previous head of the family, Kurando has served the Michels well.
This is too much to be saved.
At the same time, he is furious with the Michels for taking advantage of a friend who was so dear to Clyde.
We have already taken custody of Misery Michel.
She saw her son with both arms missing and fainted in a frenzy.
After interrogating several servants of the Michels, we have learned which of the Amemiya family's servants was working on the inside.
However, it turned out that these informants had also been threatened by Misery, who had taken their families hostage.
It seems that the servants did not want to kidnap Kotomi, but they had no choice but to obey her when she used the lives of their families as a shield.
We do not intend to punish them severely because of the extenuating circumstances.
"You don't owe the Michels any more, do you?"
"I am grateful to Mr. Mendes. But I have already done you a favor.
"Of course. Mendez will not complain. No, rather, he will lament the fact that he did not give up on them sooner."
"Maybe. Still, I couldn't do it.
"Stupid, but true."
For better or worse, Clyde knew that Kurando was a righteous man.
It was a pity, because if he had been more dexterous in his dealings, this would not have happened.
As a friend, he felt sorry for Kurando, but as the king, he could not help but judge him.
"Kurando! As of this moment, I take from you the title of Sword Sage.
"--Yes."
"I'm well aware of the situation, but even so, I can't allow it."
"Of course."
"You have served your country long enough, we will not deprive you of your title. You may live out the rest of your days in peace."
"...... thank you for your kindness."
Some might say that this is naive, but I have already received a message from Sam through Günther that he does not want me to take care of it.
Clyde appreciated Sam's offer.
"I hear there's a man who is worthy to be the next Sword Sage."
"...... I am still inexperienced, but I believe that in time you will become a better swordsman than I am."
Günther reported that his daughter Mizuki stopped Kurando's blow when he was about to kill Sam.
If this is the case, I am really looking forward to the future.
"If he has such an excellent daughter, there is no way the royal court would recognize a Julien Michel as the next saint of swordsmanship.
As king, I have the final say.
The materials on the candidates for the next saint of sword have been delivered to me, but none of them seemed to have the ability to become a saint of sword.
Especially Michel, who was considered to be a strong candidate, we already know that there are traces of falsification in the documents, and we already know that the person who did it is related to the Michel family.
The tampering person has already been captured, and there is a testimony that he was paid a large sum of money by Misery Michel to do so.
Moreover, the Michels were also the family that was passing information on the royalist faction to the aristocrats. Although they only recently became aware of it, they now have a good cause to punish them for this incident.
"Although I knew it, I could not refuse the Michels' request."
"Yes. Well, okay. Let's see if your daughter Amemiya Mizuki is suitable to be the next Kensei and then we'll decide who will be his successor. Until then, the title of Sword Sage is vacant.
"Yes."
Clyde knows Mizuki well.
As the daughter of a friend, he once held her in his arms when she was a newborn.
"What about the girls? I do not intend to do anything with my daughters. I hear that Kotomi, the second daughter, is going to be Sam's apprentice. Then you can go on with your life as before.
"--Thank you."
"But I am thinking of giving Mizuki to Sam in marriage."
"Your Majesty?"
"We've tried to keep this one out of the open as much as possible, but even so, we can't shut the mouths of those in the royal palace."
You're right.
"Already, some of the nobles have heard about you, and some have even called for the death penalty, including the revocation of your status as a sword saint.
Many of the nobility do not take kindly to Kurarayakko.
Some of them took advantage of this incident to denounce Kuramoto.
"Mizuki will be taken hostage as Sam's wife."
"Your Majesty, what does that mean?"
It means never again so that you will not make the same mistake. That's just the way it's supposed to be. If you don't do that, the other nobles won't be able to rule.
Although he said it was a pretext, Clyde would have to hold Mizuki and Kotomi accountable if Kurarayan did the same thing again.
Of course, Clyde believes that such a thing will not happen.
However, even if Clyde believes it, people who are hostile to Kurata would not be satisfied with that. In order to prevent them from denouncing Kurata, he entrusts Mizuki to Sam as a form of surrender.
I am sorry to say this to Sam, but it would be safer to have someone nearby who could stop Kurando and Mizuki if something were to happen.
Of course, there will be some who will oppose this.
At present, there are many people who want to marry Sam.
Not only Sam, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, but also Lieselotte, the countess, Haren, the grandson of the court wizard, and Stella, the princess, are among those who wish to be united with him.
Mizuki will be kept as a hostage by Sam, but if nothing happens to her, she can make love to him and bear his children as a normal wife.
No doubt there will be people who will not be happy about that.
I do not want to lose my friend.
"...... Your Majesty."
"I still vividly remember how he once saved my life on the battlefield. I also remember how he worked with me through the night to come up with a gift for my wife. You are an irreplaceable friend to me.
"...... What a waste of words."
After all, Clyde doesn't want to lose his best friend.
"I'm sure Sam will be annoyed, but I'll let him off the hook for having a more skilled and capable wife," Clyde said. But he may resent me for making such a decision on my own, and my daughter may not like me for having more fiancées."
I know Sam doesn't want to have many wives, so I decide to apologize at a later date.
"Well, my dear master..."
"Yes."
"Was Samuel Scheidt strong?"
He was a very strong boy.
Günther was getting all depressed and worked up, what's going on?
"I don't know much about magic, but he aspires to be the greatest wizard of all, and it won't be long before he earns that title."
"I see. I'm really looking forward to my son-in-law's future."
To tell the truth, I did not expect Sam to win against Kurando.
I knew that Sam was strong even against dragons, but I was not sure how well he would be able to fight against a wizard-killer in an urban area with limited number of moves.
Therefore, he sent Günther in case of emergency, and he also had Magnolia standing by the house.
The reason they did not stop the duel was so that Kurando would not be cornered.
Clyde, who knew Kurando, had guessed that he was doing this for a reason.
All that could be done was to keep them both alive.
(If I had known about it a little earlier, I could have stopped it. ...... But Sam was brilliant. He had beaten Kurarajin, the greatest swordsman I had ever known. I can't wait to see what the future holds.)
The result of the duel, however, was Sam's victory.
Kurando was unable to back down due to the circumstances and stood up again, but the result was Sam's victory.
Clyde was surprised at this report.
He had not intended to have Sam killed, but he had not expected to win.
In a way, I am grateful to Julian.
He intervened and neither of us would have lost.
The damage was kept to a minimum.
"In the meantime, I have something to say to you."
Yes, sir.
"I will not allow you to kill yourself. I will not allow you to leave the country. You will live, and you will take and train disciples as you have always done.
"...... if you don't mind?"
Sam doesn't want you punished. You are bold, despite the attempt on your life. Live to thank Sam.
At Clyde's words, Kurando lowered his forehead so deeply that it hit the floor.
It must have been his imagination, because his body trembled in little increments.
"--Thank you, Your Majesty. And thank you, Samuel."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
