I had guessed, but the surprise was too great to actually hear it.
--Sam is not Baron Reinbach's biological son.
I won't say that I had never imagined it.
Born into a family inclined to swordplay, but unable to use a sword and specializing in magic, we have all wondered "what if" about the boy's origins.
Perhaps even Carius Reinbach himself never stopped to think about it.
And Sam himself.
Therefore, Melanie's statement that Sam was not of Baron Reinbach's blood was, surprisingly, not considered a lie by Liese and the others.
Still, they could not help but ask.
"-- or let me check. Is it true that Sam is not Baron Reinbach's child?
To Lise's question, Melanie nodded her head clearly.
"Yes. At the time I was in love with an adventurer who was visiting Reinbach territory. He was an adventurer, but he could not use a sword at all. He had a talent as a wizard, but he was a bit of an oddball who excelled in the arts.
"Is that Sam's?"
"Yes. I was attracted to this kind-hearted person who had a strong sense of justice and always wanted to help others."
Melanie's expression was calm as she spoke of her former lover, perhaps remembering that time.
"Well, did Baron Reinbach know that Sam's mother had a lover?"
Melanie shook her head and said, "I don't know.
"I didn't know."
"Excuse me, ......, but didn't Sam's mother think about getting together with that person?"
"As you said, Alicia, I was going to run away with him. But he left the town, saying that he wanted to step aside, perhaps because he was an adventurer. I don't know what happened to him after that.
"......It must have been so hard for you. I wouldn't have been able to bear it.
"Yes, I know. I think I couldn't stand it either. I had lost the love of my life, and my parents wanted me to marry into the Barony of Reinbach, as Carius wanted me to. But what I didn't realize at the time was that Sam was already in my belly.
If he had known that Sam was in Melanie, the adventurer who had been his lover might not have left.
His parents might not have forced him to marry into the barony.
Carius might have given up on Melanie.
We can only lament the fact that it was too late.
"I think I was a bit of a loser at the time," he said. I lost the love of my life and got into a marriage I didn't want."
"...... Dear Melanie"
"Carius was not a bad person at first. But I had no feelings for him. If he had not wanted me, my beloved would not have left me. And I think that my feelings were conveyed to Carius, for he immediately took a wife."
Soon after Melanie's pregnancy, Carius took Yolanda as his consort.
Less than a year later, Yolanda also became pregnant.
Carius was devoted to Yolanda. Perhaps he realized that Melanie did not want to marry him.
I don't know if this made him uncomfortable or not, but he had minimal contact with Melanie.
Fortunately, Melanie had her friend and colleague Daphne, and Derrick, who was more supportive than her own parents.
The other servants were like family, and with their help, she gave birth to Sam.
"When I saw Sam born, I knew immediately that it was his child. He had silver hair, just like the man I loved."
"Sam's hair is silver? No, but doesn't Sam have black hair?"
"As I grew up, I turned completely black. But sometimes, because of reflections of light, silver shone through the black hair.
It wasn't just the similarity in hair color.
Her face, her atmosphere, she looked just like the person I loved.
"I was delighted. My beloved had left me, but she was carrying my beloved's child. I was happy just to have Sam. Even if I found out that he had no talent with the sword, I did not mourn because it only made me more certain of his father's blood.
Karius' disappointment when he found out that Sam had no talent with the sword was great.
Perhaps he had realized that Sam was not his own son, Melanie guessed.
Therefore, at first she wanted to leave the house with Sam, but Carius, of all people, would not allow it.
Carius ordered Melanie to spend the night with him shortly after the birth, but she refused because she was not feeling well.
He probably did not find this amusing. Gradually, his attitude toward Melanie deteriorated. On the other hand, she treated Yolanda better.
At the same time, Yolanda's son Manion was discovered to have a talent with the sword.
He was not a great talent, but he could use a sword a little.
But Carius was pleased. He said out loud that this was indeed his son.
From that time on. Yolanda began to harass Melanie, his wife.
My guess is that she wanted her talented son to succeed her. And she wanted to be the heir to the throne.
Yolanda's harassment escalated, and Sam began to suffer as well.
Although her friend Daphne helped her, Yolanda was very good at hiding from the public eye.
As a result, Melanie's heart gradually became sickened by the long-lasting harassment, and she ended up throwing herself into the water.
"You must think I'm a bad woman. I'm so ashamed of what I've done, I feel like I'm losing control. I am sure that God did not forgive me for what I did.
"I can't say that I understand all of your feelings, but I can never say that I, or we, are sorry for you, Melanie."
Melanie's circumstances were also unfavorable.
If only she had not been discovered by the nobility, she might have lived a happy life with her beloved husband and children.
Thinking of this, I could not unilaterally judge her disappointing behavior as a bad thing.
"Thank you very much. But I am aware that I did something wrong. I should have forced myself to leave the house when Sam was born."
She does not say it, but perhaps for Sam's sake she did not resist Karius' attempts to stop her.
If we can raise him as a child of a noble family, at least we won't have to eat.
"Speaking of which, what is the name of the adventurer with whom you are dating, no, what is the name of the man who is Sam's real father? If you have any clues as to where you are from or anything else, we might be able to find you."
His name is Charles Howard. I still have the only dagger he ever gave me. It was the only thing I had on me when I threw myself."
Now, let's take a look at the man.
"Please, I beg of you. Please don't look for him."
Melanie rejected Liese's proposal in a clear tone of voice.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
