Lise and her friends were about to go out to the castle town when they were greatly surprised by the appearance of a woman claiming to be Sam's mother.

Not wanting to take a stroll, they return to the house with Melanie.

At first, Melanie had no intention to meet Sam or to see Lise and her family like this, and she was about to leave.

However, Liese and her family could not let Sam's mother go home and asked her to come up to the house.

However, Lise and her friends did not completely believe that Melanie was Sam's mother.

They certainly look like her, so she must be a relative of theirs. To confirm these facts, it was necessary to continue the conversation.

Who would want to make a connection with Sam, who suddenly appeared in King's Landing and quickly became the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye?

Lise and Alicia's father, Jonathan, have been contacted by many people claiming to be Sam's relatives, half-brothers, and half-siblings.

However, all of them are fakes, and the only real relative so far is Viscount Koffi.

Not to make things worse, but it is not impossible that Melanie, who claims to be Sam's mother, is also a fake.

However, the fiancées knew instinctively that the boy they loved and Melanie looked too much alike.

They also decided that she was not lying.

"I am sorry that I forced you to come with me."

On behalf of her fiancé, Lise apologized to Melanie.

The girls went to a different place and found themselves in the drawing room of the Countess Walker's house.

They were seated on soft sofas, and in front of each of them was a cup of iced tea, as summer was approaching.

Lise nervously moistens her throat and looks at Melanie who looks uncomfortable.

"I apologize from the bottom of my heart if I have caused you any discomfort.

"No, no. Lieselotte and her friends don't owe us an apology.

I am glad to hear you say so. I would like to talk with Melanie about many things, but first I have to ask you something.

"I am ready. Please tell me.

Already Melanie seems to know that she will be asked.

As for Liese, it pains her to have to ask such a question, but she says it out of the goodness of her heart.

"--Ms. Melanie, are you really Sam's and Samuel Scheidt's mother? From what he told me, your mother must have passed away."

Yes. Sam's mother, Melanie, is presumed dead.

Sam is aware of this, and so is everyone else in the Baron Reinbach family.

But then Melanie shows up.

Therefore, we have to be sure.

"...... my boring past story..."

We'd love to hear from you.

"Yes, well - I used to be a maid in Baron Reinbach's household. Baron Reinbach, Carius, found me and took me as his wife, but ...... I didn't want to. My parents knew how I felt about Carius and agreed to marry me, but I couldn't say no to him.

Melanie, perhaps remembering those days, complains with a bitter look on her face.

Lise and her family wanted to get married, but it is not unusual for people to be forced into marriages they do not want.

However, when they learned that Sam's mother had unwillingly married into the Reinbach baronet's family, their fiancées looked gloomy.

They wondered if it was possible that Sam had been born unwanted.

"When Sam was born and grew up and it became clear that he had no talent with the sword, Carius Reinbach treated him coldly. I, too, was treated poorly, as a worthless child who had no talent."

"...... must have been hard for you."

"You're a terrible man."

That's for sure.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Baron Reinbach's stock, which had been low to begin with, dropped even lower among Liese and the others.

"I would be lying if I said it wasn't hard for me, but I would have been happy with Sam. He was the love of my life, born to a man I loved with all my heart."

"--What?"

Hearing Melanie's words, Liese felt uncomfortable inside.

It didn't make sense that she had married Baron Reinbach without her consent, but Sam was born to the love of her life.

Did he change his mind after the marriage, or--?

"I was really happy. But when it became clear that the boy born to his consort Yolanda had a talent for the sword, Callius' attitude became more pronounced. He began to treat Sam as if he did not exist. Fortunately, the servants were my former colleagues and treated me well. ......"

"Is something wrong?"

"I guess my heart was weak. I was sickened by the persistent harassment I had been receiving from Yolanda for a long time."

"-oh, my God."

The household of an aristocrat with multiple wives is a complicated one.

It is said that the family can be quite peaceful when the wives get along well with each other, but when the wives get along well with each other, the family can be unimaginably nasty.

Sometimes wives even kill each other.

Melanie must have been harshly treated by Yolanda, a concubine of hers. And she endured it without retaliation. But it wore her down little by little.

"I felt I had reached my limits and took the easy and stupid way out."

"...... No way, no way."

It was really easy to imagine the rest of the story.

"As you can imagine, I decided to take my own life. But I couldn't let Sam go with me, even though he was sick at heart. And so I threw myself into the river, leaving behind a suicide note."

"--I'm sorry for your pain. But you lived. Why didn't you show your face to Sam earlier?"

Lise's question was also the question of her fiancées.

Melanie's face contorted sadly at the question.

"That's why ...... I threw myself into the river and nearly lost my life. In fact, I must have died because they said I had stopped breathing. It was Viscount Stephen Teeling, now my husband, who found me and saved me."

"Do you have a ...... husband?"

Liese and her friends were surprised, not expecting that she had remarried.

Melanie's next words revealed the reason.

"No wonder you are surprised. I know it's an excuse, but when my husband saved me, I had lost all memory except for my name."
