Sam is strolling with King Clyde and Princess Stella in the house of King Roig's brother.

At the Earl of Walker's house, Lise is getting ready to go out.

A month has passed since she found out she was pregnant, and Lise is in good health.

She had been in poor health before she found out she was pregnant, but once she found out it was due to the pregnancy, she was completely fine.

However, I felt that my father and Sam were a little too worried about Liese, who was very heavy, but I was happy because I felt that she was being taken care of.

Since my overprotective father was at work and Sam was out of town, I decided to exercise a little while I could.

Lise has always been vivacious, and she is not good at sitting still.

I have heard that moderate exercise is good for prenatal care, so I thought I would take a light walk.

"Liese? If you need something, I'll take your place.

It was Shi Hualian, Sam's fiancée, who peeked into the room and called out to me.

Lise and Karen's relationship is good as they are engaged to the same person and as friends.

Like Sam, she is a kind, if not overprotective, person who cares for Liese's well-being.

"Don't be too overprotective of me too, Hanae. I just want to exercise a little. Can't you at least take a walk?"

"Hmm. Then I'll go with you. Where to?

Let's go to the castle town.

"Well, I'd like to invite Mizuki and the others to have tea in town. I recently found a nice restaurant.

That's nice.

Dressed in a white traditional costume, Hualien went to call for Suiju and the others.

Within a few minutes, she brought Mizuki Amamiya in a Hakama and Alicia in a one-piece dress and cardigan.

"Let's go to the castle town!"

Hanae, as vivacious as Liese, lifted her lips slightly and smiled happily, a change that only her family could see.

"Yes. It's nice to have tea outside once in a while."

"I'm glad you invited me too."

"Alicia is also Sam's fiancée. She's like a sister to us. I'd like to see us get to know each other better in the future."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Hualien."

Lise smiled at how well Sam's fiancées got along.

Thus, the four of them decided to go for a walk in the castle town.

However, as they are about to leave the house, they see a figure at the gate and stop in their tracks.

Immediately, Karen and Mizuki stand in front of Liese and Alicia to protect them.

"--There is someone in front of the gate. I don't think it's a prowler.

"It's true. If your father is a guest ......, he should have an appointment with you, so you should be greeted."

Mizuki and Alicia are alarmed and nod their heads in agreement, respectively.

Certainly, if they were guests, they would be welcomed by the servants.

Then, the figure in front of the gate could be a person who just happened to pass by the house, or it could be someone who came to the house without getting an appointment.

"I will ask him."

Hualian, on behalf of the others, approaches the figure at the gate.

"Who is it?"

"Ah."

The figure who raised a puzzled voice when she was approached was a classy woman in her mid-forties with dark hair.

"This is the Countess Walker's house. If you need something, I'm here.

"No, I mean, I'm..."

Hmm?

The woman was so quiet that Karen tilted her head.

You picked the wrong person. She is not the right person to ask for someone's business. 

Her words are not enough, and she does not show her emotions very well, which can make her seem blunt at times.

Liese and her friends, who have already lived with her and know her inside, know that she is a curious and kind girl, but she may have seemed a bit overbearing to a woman they have just met.

"-- Hmm?"

Hualien stares at the woman intently.

"Uh, sir?"

The woman is puzzled by Haren's gaze.

Then she called out to Liese and the others behind her.

"Liese, Mizuki, Alicia, hey, hey!"

"What's wrong? Do you have a visitor?"

"I don't know. But I think I've seen this guy somewhere before."

Liese and the others head for the gate, knowing that the woman has no hostile intentions toward them, since she is the one calling them.

Then, just as Hualien had said, there was a woman whom they had never met before, but who had a somewhat familiar air about her.

"--Oh, we've never met before, but I'm sure I've met her somewhere before."

"Oh, um..."

"I'm sorry for the sudden appearance. My name is Lieselotte Walker. This is Shih-Hanren, Mizuki Amemiya, and my sister, Alicia Walker. If you don't mind, I'd like to know your name.

"Dear Lieselotte, ...... you are the ones."

The woman's eyes widen when Lise says her name.

It seems that she knows Liese and the others.

"Do you know us?"

"Yes, yes."

The woman gave a short reply to Mizuki's question.

"...... what should I do? Maybe it's because we're engaged, but this one looks like Sam."

"--!"

In Alicia's eyes, the woman looked somewhat like Sam.

Liese and the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Oh, yes. No wonder she looks so familiar. Is it because we have the same dark hair and eyes - no, we look alike. Not just because of the black hair and eyes. It's the eyes, the mouth, the atmosphere. ...... Um, excuse me, do you know Samuel Scheidt?"

"Lise, Sam is famous, for better or worse."

"I see. So you know him personally?

The woman nodded quietly at Lise's question.

"-I, yes, I know who you are."

"I knew it! If so, is he a guest of Sam's? Are you a relative? He's not here right now, but if you'd like, you can wait for him inside the house. He should be back in a little while.

When Liese realized that the woman was an acquaintance of Sam's, she responded with a soft smile.

However, the woman's face turns dark at Liese's words, as if she is troubled.

"Oh, no, I am not qualified to meet her."

"What do you mean by ......?"

Liese and the others think that Sam is a close friend of theirs because he refers to her as "that girl.

However, the woman's attitude does not give the impression that she has come to see a familiar person.

Liese and the others were puzzled.

"I don't have any face to meet her, but I heard that she has a new fiancé recently, and I was curious. I was wondering if I could at least catch a glimpse of him from a distance."

"--Please tell me your name."

I asked again the name of the woman I had asked once but had not been able to ask after all.

The woman opened her mouth fearfully after hesitation.

"...... My name is Melanie Teeling."

"--Miss Melanie? I've heard that name somewhere."

Lise had a feeling that she had heard her name somewhere before.

The other women seemed to have the same feeling and started to search their memories.

Alicia was the first one who remembered.

She had the same name as Sam's mother.

The woman nodded at Alicia's words.

"Her name used to be Melanie Reinbach," she said.

"--No way, no way."

It was easy to guess who the woman was.

Melanie confirmed Liese and the others' expectations.

I am Samuel's mother.
