When former Viscount Ewing Coffey returned from the Countess Walker's house, he was greeted with a smile by her granddaughter, Mewie.

"Welcome home, Grandfather.

"Oh, you came all the way to see me, Mui."

Of all Ewing's grandchildren, Mui is the one he loves the most, a fifteen-year-old girl with long, flaxen hair.

She is also the most intelligent of the grandchildren.

"You've seen Samuel, haven't you? How was it?"

"The boy was very unlike the son of Callius."

"Oh, I wish I could have met him."

Don't say that. I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet."

Sam did not seem to have good feelings toward Ewing, Karius' father, but he still expected him to improve.

"What are your plans with Samuel?"

"I hope to build a good relationship with them. I was thinking of taking you as my wife, if possible, to deepen our relationship, but it seems that my fiancées are more important to me. I don't want to push things too far and cause trouble. Besides, your fiancées won't be so quick to show their openness."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Muyi says, sounding really sorry.

"So am I. There are no wizards in our family. I would have loved to have a wizard in my bloodline, but there is no use in forcing it.

Sam is not only a good candidate for women.

Being a wizard is a rarity in itself.

Many people want to have a wizard in their family.

Especially one as young as Sam, who holds the title of court wizard and the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye, is a man in desperate need.

"I've heard from your father about your Uncle Carius, that he doesn't care much for magic."

"He was a man for whom the sword was everything. But even his sword is more than ordinary at best. Your father may have been physically weak, but he was quick-witted and kind-hearted, but he knew that as a nobleman he had to be cool-headed when necessary. That is why I sent Carius away. I did it because I thought it was in the best interest of my son."

In the end, however, Carius never changed.

As a parent, it is sad that I could not understand my son until the end.

"But it's amazing. Uncle Carius became a baron with just a sword.

"Mm. I'll give you that much credit. But you treat your children terribly. Nothing has changed since I sent them away.

"Perhaps you don't know that wizards are rare?"

"That can't be true. You know it, but you can't appreciate its value.

If Carius had been a flexible thinker, he would not have kicked him out.

"Uncle Karius reminded me that I just received a report that Yolanda Reinbach and Manion Reinbach are on their way to King's Landing."

"Yolanda? Manion? I've heard of him, but who was he?"

It's Uncle Carius' wife and child. It seems they are Samuel's half-brothers."

Mewey's explanation reminded Ewing of his grandson, whose face he did not know.

"Ah, the bad boy and his mother, who had been touted as having a talent with the sword and had become a good boy. I had them gather information in Reinbach, but they were not people I wanted to have anything to do with.

"Former heir to the throne and former heir to the throne, apparently."

Viscount Kofi had been researching the Baroness Reinbach family in the wake of Sam's case.

In the process, they remember getting nothing but bad information about Manion and Yolanda.

Ewing has no intention of getting involved with either of them.

"As I recall, the current heiress is Harriet, and the heir is her son, Harry."

I don't know their names. Do you have any information about them?

"She's a town girl from Reinbach. Apparently she was a favorite of my Uncle Carius, who made her his mistress and carried his baby boy. But Yolanda had a temper tantrum and Manion almost beat Samuel to death, so he wouldn't let her near the house.

"Well. It seems to be very important."

"It would seem so. It seems that Uncle Carius gave up on his former successor Manion when he became a selfish child who couldn't even use a sword properly and made Harry his successor. I think it was a good opportunity for him, since he was fed up with Yolanda who had spoiled her son for so long.

"Manion was the one who kicked Sam out, wasn't he?"

Yes. Manion, who thinks the sword is the best, just like Uncle Carius, treated Samuel, who cannot use a sword, as incompetent and kicked him out.

"It's a sad thing to treat a man of such talent as incompetent."

Manion, who treated Sam as an incompetent, had also become an incompetent who could not wield a sword properly because of his sloppy life.

To top it all off, he tried to kill his half-brother and was repulsed twice.

Ewing, of course, did not want to admit that Mui and Ewing were of the same family.

"It's an interesting story, sir."

"What?"

"Reinbach told me that after the incident in which Manion almost killed Samuel, Samuel became cheerful as if he were a different person, and then he awakened to magic."

"Oh. Was it the near-death experience? Or was it something else?

"I'm curious too. So, how do you want to deal with Manion and Yolanda?

When asked by his grandson, Ewing shared his thoughts.

"It's a waste of time to get involved. Let it go. We don't want any trouble. As soon as he arrives in King's Landing, keep an eye on his movements.

"Yes, sir."

She reverently picks up her skirt and bows, and Muey leaves for the back of the house.

He must have gone to give orders to his men.

"Hmm. It's a pain in the ass when you're trying to get close to Samuel. But what are you doing in King's Landing?"

Ewing could not have imagined that Yolanda and Manion, delusional that they could take everything from Sam, were on their way to King's Landing.
