A week later, Sam was in front of the Countess Walker's mansion in the royal capital of the Kingdom of Skye.
"So this is the house where Ur was born and raised.
Carefully holding the corpse of his beloved mentor in his arms, Sam looked up at Ur's birthplace.
It was the residence of a countess, and the grounds and buildings were quite appropriate for such a place.
We can see a three-story house, a flowerbed filled with blooming flowers, and a fountain.
There was a wall covering the house.
The Count's family can be seen from the gate of the house, and Sam's family, the Baroness Reinbach's family, is in the distance.
"The Reinbachs had a normal two-story house," he said.
They had a large garden in the countryside, but it was not as glamorous as that of the counts.
I felt as if I had seen the difference between a country aristocrat living in a remote area and a city aristocrat living in the royal city.
"Anyway, I have to meet Ur's family, what should I do? Should I knock?"
"Hey, you!"
While he was visiting the Count's house, a soldier, who appeared to be the gatekeeper, appeared and approached Sam.
"Who are you? You know this is the Countess Walker's mansion!"
（Thank God. I can get this guy to hook me up)
Sam bowed lightly to the gatekeeper.
"I know. I am Samuel Scheidt, apprentice of Ulrike Scheidt Walker. I'd like to meet with the head of the Walker family."
"A child like you, Master Ulrike's apprentice?"
Yes.
He's been missing since he left five years ago!
"I've been with this Master Ulrike for a long time."
Sam already knew that Ur had left home without telling his family to hide his illness and to find a successor.
The gatekeeper, however, has no way of knowing this and looks at Sam suspiciously.
"Then where is Ulrike?"
"He's dead."
"...... what?"
I saw him. I have the body and a letter for the family.
The gatekeeper's gaze turns to Sam's arm.
Then he let out a trembling voice.
"No, no, you're not holding him, are you?"
"It's Lady Ulrike."
"--wait, wait! I report to my master! But, thing is, I don't know if I can trust you. First of all, do you have any proof that you are Ulrike's disciple?
"If you would be so kind as to leave me the will that Master Ulrike left for me."
Okay. I will deliver it to the masters and ask them to confirm it.
Please."
Sam, still holding Ur's corpse in his arms, took the will she had left in her pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper.
"I have it. I also don't know if you are really Ulrike's disciple. I hate to say it, but it could be a fraud to claim to be his disciple. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take you into custody.
"Of course. I will not resist. Please."
"Thank you for your cooperation. Now, let's start with ...... and take care of your body."
The gatekeeper tried to take custody of Ur's corpse, but Sam stepped back.
He wondered if he should give her up so carelessly.
"I promise to treat her with respect. I have been the gatekeeper of Count Walker's family for a long time. I know Lady Ulrike well. But I never expected her to pass away. ...... I hope I am wrong if I can help it."
"I hope it's not true, too."
Sam believed the gatekeeper and handed Ur over.
A sense of loss washes over him as the weight of her is lifted from his arms.
It's another reminder that I've really lost her.
"Wait for me. I'll bring you the body and the suicide note first."
"Yes."
The gatekeeper went back inside the house and returned in a few minutes.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Now let's get you into custody. Turn around."
"Yes."
Obeying the gatekeeper, Sam turned around.
Fixes are placed on his wrists.
"But how could you enter the city with the body? Didn't the guards check it out?"
"We forced our way through."
"-- hey."
"So, when it is proven that I am not lying, please intercede with the guards who are after me."
Sam did not want to carelessly expose Ur's corpse.
But the guards guarding the city would not allow it, and they broke through by force.
By now, the guards were probably looking for Sam, who had entered the capital without permission.
"Hey, you!
The gatekeeper sighs in disgust.
"Okay. I'll tell the master about that, too.
"Thank you, sir."
Let's go."
Sam was bound and escorted by the gatekeeper onto the grounds of Count Walker's house.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
