"By the way, it seems that your relationship with Stella is going well."

"Yes, although it pains me that we have only exchanged letters.

I am sorry that Stella is the only one who can only send me letters from the palace while the other engaged couples are enjoying their lives together.

Sam would like to talk to Stella face to face anyway, but he feels that it would be unwise to visit the royal palace so casually.

"I don't think so. The other day she was pleased with the handkerchief you sent her.

"I'm glad you were pleased."

"I did not expect Sam and Stella to write to each other every day like this. But it's good. She's happy. So..."

"Yes?"

"We think it's time for Sam and Stella to come live with us."

Then I must speak to the master.

Wait, wait, wait a minute, Sam.

If Stella is coming to the house, we need to be ready.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask Jonathan to make some arrangements.

Clyde interrupts Sam as he is thinking about this.

"Are you planning to stay with Count Walker's family?"

"Well, shouldn't I have?"

Considering Lise, I thought it would be best for her to continue to live with the Countess.

Jonathan and his family would want to be near their first grandchild, and since Lise was pregnant, she should be in a comfortable place.

"I don't mean to be rude, but you already have the title of count. Why don't you at least have a house of your own?

"Oh, is that how it's done?"

"That's the way it is. Don't look like such a pain. I'm sure it's hard to find a place ...... but there it is. I'm going to give you the house.

"What?"

It's my late brother's house, not a very big one.

"But, sir, I mean..."

He could not hide his confusion, as he had never imagined that he would be given a house.

At the same time, he wonders if he should be allowed to decide on his own.

I wanted to discuss this with my fiancées.

"Between you and me, I'm giving you too much trouble. Starting with Albert and ending with the Kurando case. But I have not repaid you in any way. I am sorry for that.

"Oh, no, I don't care."

"I would be concerned. You are a kind and good man, but it pains me that I have to take advantage of your kindness all the time. And even if Stella came to live with you, she'd be too busy with the Countess Walker family to visit you easily."

"Oh, I see."

"Eventually you and I will have a child together. I want a place where I can go to see you without any worries. Will you accept this?"

I am sorry to be so modest when the king says so much.

I will have to discuss it with my fiancées and with all of the Countesses of Walker,

"Thank you very much."

Not being able to ignore Clyde's goodwill, I thank him and accept his offer.

"--Mm-hm."

The king nodded in satisfaction at Sam's reply.

"I will give you the details later. Finally, I have one more thing to tell you. Do you remember the other day when I told you about the other court wizards besides Günther and the others?"

"Of course."

I am referring to those who, due to the intervention of the aristocracy, have been placed in the position of court wizards despite their lack of ability.

These men were informed that they could remain court wizards only if they dueled with Sam.

What happened after that, Sam had not been told.

"In the end, no one was willing to duel with you to preserve your position as court wizards."

"What?"

"They all refused to fight a duel and renounced their offices and titles for fear of repeating Albert's mistake."

"That's absurd."

I did not expect him to give up his position as court wizard so easily.

I was surprised, since I thought he would duel with some if not all of them.

"You may not understand it Sam, but that's all there is to people who think they can take advantage of their position and take advantage of the sweetness of the situation.

"So that's how it is. I just don't get it.

That's all right. It's just that I'm in a bit of trouble.

I have a bad feeling about this.

When adults use such phrases, it is usually because they are involved in something troublesome.

"Besides you, Günther, and Magnolia, there are others who have fulfilled their duties as court wizards and served their country well. His name is Dominic Johnston."

"Are you Dominic Johnston, sir?"

"Yes. Dominic is an excellent wizard. He missed your duel with Albert because he was skirmishing with a certain tribe on the frontier.

What happened to him?

He'd love to see what Sam can do."

Sam looked up to the heavens as the king apologetically told him.

"Oh, it's trouble after all!"

Sam's hunch became a certainty.
