Sam is shown into the king's office and is told to sit on the sofa, where he sits down.

He sat down and began to prepare a cup of coffee, but not the maid.

"Oh, is that the king?"

"I've been on a coffee kick lately. I choose my favorite beans from a variety of beans, and I'm also particular about the utensils I use. Do you like coffee?

"Yes."

I'm glad to hear it. Francis and Stella seem to prefer tea, and although they will join me, they don't seem to enjoy it very much.

The rich aroma of coffee wafts into the room, and a smiling Clyde hands the cup to Sam.

"Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Sam likes both coffee and tea.

He often drinks green tea from the Land of the Rising Sun, but in a previous life he used to regularly visit a coffee chain with a worldwide network.

He was not as obsessive as Clyde, he just liked to drink coffee, but he remembers that some of his friends had a hobby that involved even coffee utensils.

"It's delicious!"

I am not trying to flatter you, but the coffee was well balanced and tasty.

Clyde's face relaxed at Sam's words.

I'm glad to hear it. I'd love to enjoy a cup of coffee with you, but I had to talk to you. Well, it looks like Lise is pregnant, congratulations."

"Thank you very much."

"I hope Lise is happy to have met you."

I'm glad to hear that.

If Lise is happy, Sam is happy.

Because of her unhappy marriage, I want to make her happy enough to forget her painful past.

"Have you heard about the Michels?"

"Yes."

"Julien Michel is dead and Misery Michel went crazy and killed herself. It's a pity that they got what they deserved. But I can't say I feel sorry for her.

"I agree."

I have no sympathy for him because he deserves it too much.

He should have stayed quiet since his groin was crushed, but he lost both arms because he was foolish enough to take Kotomi as a hostage.

As a result, he could not die even if he tried to kill himself, and he ended up dying at the hands of his mother.

The mother, too, went insane from the shock of having her beloved son killed, and committed suicide by slamming her head against the wall.

Instead of living to atone for her sins, she took the easy way out.

"The remaining Michels are demoted from counts to barons. That's all I can give as a penalty. I'm sorry.

"I do not ask you to apologize to the king."

I don't care about the people who are no longer here, and I have no intention of having anything to do with that house in the future.

"By the way, you already know that I met with Kurando the other day."

"I'm sorry about your arm."

I did not expect Kurando to refuse to treat my arm.

When Kurando refused to heal his arm, Mokuren also readily backed down, so he will be living as a one-armed man from now on.

But that does not mean that he has lost his ability as a swordsman.

I would not fight him again if I could help it.

"Good. It was his choice not to treat him. That's all he did. I owe you an apology. Kurando was an irreplaceable friend to me. Therefore, I have given you a warm feeling that you may not agree with. I'm sorry."

"No problem. Kurando-sama was a victim too.

I'm sorry. Mizuki will take over the sword saint's position sooner or later. But now is not the time. I'm sorry that this incident has spread. Therefore, we cannot make Mizuki the saint of sword. And Kurando says that she is not capable of that yet.

I'll leave that part up to you."

"I think you mean your wife."

Sam looks troubled at the king's words.

It was Clyde's decision to make Mizuki Sam's fiancée.

Mizuki herself seems to know that she is also a hostage to Kurando, but Sam is a little unconvinced.

However, he did not intend to interfere if Kurando and Mizuki were satisfied with it.

"I don't care if Mizuki-sama is a kensei or not. I accepted her engagement because I thought it was a chance encounter, but I didn't do it because she is the daughter of a sword saint.

"-I sometimes envy you for that. I was not like you when I was young."

"Because of my inexperience. I am ashamed of myself."

My relationship with Mizuki is good.

She is smiling, partly because she does not feel the grief of coming here as a hostage, and partly because Sam and Countess Walker are treating her as one of their own fiancées.

Although she lives apart from her father and sister, she is not forbidden to see them, so she visits them when she can.

Sometimes Sam goes out with them.

"Hmmm, that's all right with you. Now, Liese, Stella, Karen, and Mizuki are your fiancées, and they want to give you a territory."

"No, thank you."

"...... to the end of the story."

I don't want it.

"So..."

"I don't want it super bad."

"...... huh. You are not greedy. Normally, I would be happy to receive a territory.

Sam cowered as the king chuckled.

"Even if you give me the land, I cannot assume the responsibility of managing the land in consideration of the lives of the people in the land. I will not accept such an offer in the future.

Is that what you want?

Yes. I'm more comfortable in King's Landing.

"Looking back on Sam's past, I don't think he's very laid-back."

Ha-ha-ha-ha, that's the way it is.

"Well, good. I will do as you wish. It would be more convenient for me if you were in King's Landing.

"Thank you."

Sam was relieved that he did not have to give up his lands.
