"Did you see Viscount Koffi the other day?"
A few days after his return from the palace, Jonathan summoned Sam to his office and asked him about it.
Sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea, Sam tilted his head.
The name did not ring a bell.
"Who is it?"
"I'm not close to him, but I know him. He's a nobleman of the same royalist faction, but we don't know each other very well."
"What's wrong with the viscount?"
"It seems that I approached Sam the other day, but I misunderstood him, so he apologized and offered to speak with me face to face again."
The old man who approached Sam comes to mind.
"Oh, could it be him?"
"You've been seeing him, after all?"
Yeah, probably. When you called me Samuel Reinbach, I thought you had mistaken me for someone else."
"...... Sam, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Jonathan sighs.
"I really don't want to have anything to do with people who call me Reinbach."
"Not that I don't know how you feel. So, what are you going to do? You are free to see him or not. You do what you want."
"Are you sure?"
"It's not a house you can afford to ignore. Besides, it might be someone who wants to take advantage of Sam the court wizard. It would be a waste of time if we had to deal with all of them.
However," Jonathan adds.
"At the moment, it seems that they want to talk to Sam rather than to win him over. As far as I'm concerned, if he knows that Sam was a Reinbach man, it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet him once and see how he's doing.
"Okay. I don't like the idea of meeting with someone who might be related to Reinbach, but I don't want to get into trouble later, so I will try to meet with him."
"Okay. I'll let them know."
Please do."
The next day, Viscount Koffi called me back and said he wanted to meet with me immediately, so it was decided that we would meet at the Count's house that day.
The person came immediately.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me today. My name is Ewing Kofi. I am Ewing Koffi, the former head of the Viscount Koffi family.
Hi, I'm Samuel Scheidt.
This is my fiancée, Mizuki Amemiya.
In the drawing room of the Earl of Walker's house, Sam and his family were meeting with Ewing Coffey, Viscount Ewing's predecessor as head of the family.
Ewing was, after all, the old man who had approached them outside the palace the other day.
He had only brought one of his followers with him, and he was not armed or anything.
He had come just to talk with Sam.
On the other hand, Sam's side has Mizuki standing next to him, just in case.
Mizuki was chosen because she is the most skilled user among the fiancee's, since she was supposed to protect Sam from Ewing and vice versa.
The presence of the fiancées here is also a check to prevent them from discussing a marriage proposal inadvertently.
Jonathan, who has already greeted Viscount Kofi, is also present because he is concerned about Sam.
"Samuel Scheidt, I apologize for the other day.
After exchanging greetings, Ewing bowed deeply and apologized.
"Please look up. I am sorry for being rude to you. But how could you have mistaken me for someone like Samuel Reinbach?"
"That's because I am the father of Carius Reinbach."
"Oh, I see."
（I'm surprised that you are related to him, rather than related to him. I never expected to find that man's father in King's Landing.)
Inwardly, Sam sighs.
If I had known Ewing's true identity in advance, we would never have met.
"Well, does this mean that Mr. Ewing will be Sam's grandfather?"
"No, Mizuki, I'm not so sure about that.
"Huh? But."
Mizuki mentioned that Ewing was Sam's grandfather, but it was Jonathan who interrupted him.
"Baron Reinbach has stated publicly that his eldest son is dead. Then, isn't he a stranger to Sam? His name is Samuel Scheidt. Not the deceased Samuel Reinbach."
"I came here prepared to be told that."
Ewing looks at Sam and sounds calm.
"I know you are wary of me, but I am no longer associated with Carius."
"What do you mean?"
He was once my successor, but he mistakenly thought he was superior, became arrogant, and would lash out when he did not get his way. I tried to change him, but he would not change. Therefore, he made his brother to be his successor and got rid of Carius. I thought that hard work would change him, but considering your situation, it seems that nothing has changed.
"I have no interest in Carius Reinbach."
I don't care how Carius got kicked out of Viscount Kofi's house.
I don't care that much about him.
Sam, you shouldn't be so cold to your grandfather.
Mizuki rebuked Sam for his indifferent attitude toward Ewing.
Sam's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.
"It's okay, Mizuki Amemiya-dono. From his point of view, it's understandable that he doesn't want anything to do with that house.
"Then why did you come to see me?"
"My grandson became a successful wizard at a young age. I wanted to meet him, even if only for a moment."
"I see."
And I wanted to give you a heads-up.
"--attention?"
I don't know the details of what Carius did to Samuel. As a parent, I can only apologize for the actions of my ill-advised son. But if he has not changed, beware. He will do something."
"Thank you very much for your advice."
Sam was curt.
Ewing's apology would not change the past.
Besides, Sam was no longer Reinbach.
Carius was not wrong in his public statement.
Indeed, Samuel Reinbach is dead.
Sam's previous identity was killed by Manion.
He is now Samuel Scheidt with the memories of his previous life.
Therefore, he does not consider the old man in front of him as his grandfather, nor does he care about Karius.
For Sam, family means Daphne and Derrick, who still work for the Reinbachs, and Lise and all the other members of the Walker family. And his fiancées, including Mizuki, Karen, and Stella.
In the end, Ewing left without further conversation.
He left saying that he wanted to see her again.
Sam did not reject him.
"I'm sure Grandpa was worried about you," he said.
"I'm not so sure."
"I think so. I feel sorry for you if you're too blunt."
A short time after Ewing left, Sam, who had remained in the parlor, was rebuked by his fiancée.
"I'm sorry. But I'm Samuel Scheidt."
"You said that, but you've been in touch with Daphne and the others."
That's true, but...
"I'm not going to tell you to remember what you went through. I think it's better to just forget about it. But now that your grandfather has come to see you, maybe next time you can be a little nicer to him."
"......Yes. I'll try to do that."
"Yes. Good and honest. You're a good boy, Sam.
Mizuki patted Sam's head as he replied honestly.
"Hey, don't treat me like a child."
"Hmmm, he's just a kid. Sam is my sweet younger fiancée.
Mizuki hugged me gently, and Sam also hugged me strongly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
