After a long day of chatting with his fiancées before going to bed, Sam was told by the maid that Jonathan wanted to see him, and after saying no to his fiancées, he went to Jonathan's office.

"You wanted to see me, sir?"

I'm sorry I called you here so late at night. Were you sleeping?"

"No, I was just having a little chat with Lise and the others."

Then I'm even more sorry. Time with your fiancé is important. Especially before marriage. I'm sorry."

Sam shakes his head, not caring for Jonathan's apology.

"I hope you don't mind. I thought it was something important. Lise and the others don't mind."

"I'm glad to hear you say that. Sam, it's a court wizard's job.

"Is it a fight?"

"No, no. Calm down. Do you know the Kingdom of Orkney?

"Well, it's the neighbor country to the north of the Kingdom of Skye, isn't it? I've been there before, but I didn't stay long."

The Kingdom of Orkney was founded about 300 years ago by the descendants of pirates who had settled in the northern seas of the continent and moved south.

Sam has only heard a little about it, but as he recalls, the pirates fought among themselves and then involved neighboring countries in a rather bloody conflict.

It seems that the pirates were taken advantage of by the nations, and a war was fought with so many casualties that the sea and the land were dyed red.

The first king of Orkney was a man who got fed up with such endless battles and decided to abandon his homeland of the sea.

He abandoned the sea, went on land, built up a mercenary army, and took over an exhausted country, and the Kingdom of Orkney was born.

Incidentally, the war in the north lasted about 20 years, and the pirates and the surrounding countries fell together.

"I just received word from the royal court that a delegation from the Orkney Kingdom is coming to Skye."

"That's another sudden thing, isn't it?"

"As this is a country that has suffered damage from the people of Najaria, we will hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures for the future. I will visit the country for the purpose of holding a meeting to discuss future countermeasures. In addition, once a year or so, we have wizards and knights from each country fight each other, so that will be held as well."

"I see. So you want me to be in that battle.

No, no.

"Oh, what?"

I'm out of sync.

I had assumed from the flow of the conversation that I would be told to go into a duel and show my power as a court wizard.

"It's a duel, but it's a preliminaries match. I don't want Sam's skills to cut his opponent in half.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, I don't like it. I'm not going to cut off all the people I'm fighting either.

"...... hope so. The Imperial Match is going to be someone Sam knows very well."

"You don't mean Günther?"

No, no. Günther is a Günther, and when he attacks, he is not suitable for a fight because he is very deadly. The one who should be in the fight is Mr. Delight Sinatra.

"Mr. Delight?

Sam was so surprised that he forgot it was the middle of the night and let out a loud cry.

Jonathan, who had been expecting this, chuckled.

"Lord Delight has received a direct request from His Majesty to return to the court of wizards.

"Well, that's... Master Fran will be very pleased."

"I'm sure you're right. Francesca is going to work as Mr. Delight's secretary.

I had never heard of it.

"It was recently decided, and since Lord Delight has accepted to return to the court wizardry, he will be training in the dungeons for a while. He said that at the very least he would have to be stronger than Albert Frege before he could return. And so he has returned to King's Landing.

"So you are stronger than Albert."

Albert Frege was the most powerful wizard in the kingdom before Sam.

Before Albert, Delight Sinatra was the most powerful man in the kingdom.

Delight was defeated and humiliated by Albert. As a result, he became a drunkard, but he recovered after meeting Sam.

He is also a very caring person who gave Sam training before Sam's duel with Albert.

He was also the mentor of Ulrike Scheidt Walker, a wizard whom Sam admired.

If it is true what Yarl, a citizen of Najaria whom he met the other day, said, Albert is a traitor and his magical ability was amplified by the magic sword that Yarl created.

His actual ability is probably not that great.

I think so only because I have actually fought against him.

Delight was defeated only by firepower, and he would have been better than Albert in terms of technology and in the actual fight for life.

But the fact is that Delight lost. He ran away to drink, but he did not make excuses.

If Delight trained in the dungeon and came back to surpass Albert, he must have equaled or surpassed the firepower he had lost.

The fact that the wizard who was originally the strongest in the kingdom is now back with even more power means that he will be a great asset to the kingdom.

"But we think that perhaps ...... Sam may have a role to play."

"Why?"

Despite the presence of Delight Sinatra, who had returned to the Court of Wizards with a newfound ability, Jonathan's countenance was not exactly cheerful.

"Haven't you heard? In the last six months or so, the Kingdom of Orkney, like the Kingdom of Skye, has replaced its most powerful wizards."

"I've never heard of it."

"It is said that he is a boy a little older than Sam, but his ability is immeasurable. I've only heard that he has fought with representatives of several countries and beaten them to death. I hate to say this, but it is said that he is the most powerful wizard on the continent.

"--Hey."

My lips lifted involuntarily.

Sam is aiming to be the most powerful wizard in the world.

After becoming the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, the goal had been stagnant due to the lack of a wizard above him, but if the wizards of the Orkney Kingdom are the most powerful on the continent, then it's a good time to start talking.

(I'm sorry to say that Delight-sama has just returned, but I'll take that wizard.)

"Ah, that's the face. That face looks just like Ur when he's up to something! Can they even resemble each other that much? It's already so easy to predict what Sam will do! For God's sake, don't pick a fight! If they sell you a fight, don't buy it!"

"...... I don't like it. There's no way I would do something like that."

"Don't turn away, look me in the eye and say so!"

Aah," sighs Jonathan grandly.

"For God's sake, don't get me in trouble. I don't want to get in trouble because of my partner's background.

"Are you royalty by any chance?"

No, no. I don't know what he is, but he seems to be from another world.

"-- What?"
