Sam and Clyde were walking through the living quarters of the palace.

They entered a corner of the palace, which is different from the place where Stella lives, and is located on the outskirts of the palace.

On the way, he passed several Kingsguard knights to prevent intruders.

"Oh, by the way, this is Sam. The head of the Duke of Glen and his son and heir wish to meet with you. I suppose they want to see you because you're kin, but they also want to get a good look at you."

I'm afraid I don't know how to judge you, sir.

"You are a close blood relative of the Marquis of Glen. But until recently, he was unaware of your existence. Moreover, you are the most powerful court wizard in the kingdom. You do not know how to deal with him.

"If it bothers you so much, I wouldn't mind if you left it alone."

My mother and grandmother have a reason to see me, and I would like to establish an amicable relationship with them.

However, there is no end to the number of relatives we can reach out to.

The Marquise de Glen is undoubtedly the family of my grandmother, the Dowager Empress, but I would prefer to leave them alone if I don't know how to deal with them.

It's not that I don't want to be involved, but I honestly felt that I didn't have to get involved if it would bother me.

"That's not going to be the case. If you are not careful, you may end up having to give up your daughter in order to deepen your relationship with Sam.

How is that possible?

Of course it's possible. The Marquise de Glenn has three daughters ranging in age from 20 to 10.

"Do you really have to go that far to have a relationship with me?

"You may not know much about it, Sam, but every family whose daughter is betrothed to you is envious, including the Earls of Walker. And the royal families, of course."

"Well, why?"

He wonders if there is any benefit to being engaged to her.

Sam has never thought of Liese and her fiancées in terms of merits or demerits.

Of course, some of them did not want to get engaged in the beginning, but now they are so close that he is glad to have had the chance to meet them.

And they are all such good women that they make me feel that way.

You should be more aware of your own worth. The most powerful court wizard in the kingdom - what if you could pass on your talent and magic to the next generation? You have the skills and the royal blood. I'm not terribly talented with a sword, but even with that, I'm sure you'd want me by the throat."

Blood.

"You're not happy?"

"No, I think it's a good idea for an aristocrat to think that way."

"Well, there are many houses that would like to take you in once you become a court wizard. It's just that you had a connection with Count Walker before that. You can thank Jonathan for trying so hard to keep you out of trouble."

"I will always be grateful to you, sir."

Sam knows that you have been turning down offers of marriage and other offers of marriage behind the scenes.

I can't thank him enough for all the other things he has done for me.

"However, I am sure that there will be no end to the offers of marriage in the future, no matter how hard Jonathan tries."

"I already have five fiancées."

Then, they will just say, "Then why don't you just add one more? Oops, that makes six now that Fran is here. Then it is okay if there are seven or eight more.

"I don't care! Besides, I don't want anyone to be left out because of the many engagements.

Isn't that up to you?"

"Yes, but! Oh, and I don't want a marriage that's just a formality! I don't want to live in a loveless marriage!"

"......Sam really isn't cut out to be an aristocrat. No, not really. Count Walker, Viscount Teeling, and Duke Ignatz had only one wife. Well, good. I like that serious side of you. Let Sam do what Sam wants. If it's a bit of trouble, we'll take care of it.

"Thank you very much."

"Good, Sam is my nephew before he is my son. You can count on me for anything.

"Thank you for your help."

Mm-hmm.

Clyde nodded his head in satisfaction, pleased that his nephew and son-in-law, Sam, was relying on him.

They continued this conversation until they reached the innermost part of the living quarters of the palace.

"In the meantime, we have arrived at my mother's room," said Clyde. I'm sorry, but this is as far as I go."

"What? Am I to meet the Queen Mother alone?"

I'm sorry. It's what my mother wanted.

I'm nervous about meeting Queen Mother Dowager alone.

Even more so since I had never met my grandmother before.

The queen mother is not much of a public figure.

I have heard that she has stopped making public appearances in memory of the late king and her brother.

"Well, I don't think she's a person you can meet easily..."

"As for me, I am glad that my mother is meeting with you. She has been depressed since the loss of Loïgue. She doesn't see anyone much and her public appearances have decreased. There are even rumors that she is ill.

"Is that so?"

"From my point of view, he was a troublesome and troublesome little brother, but I guess that's why he was so endearing to my mother. He even became depressed for a while. I think that's why my mother misses him so much.

"I hope they don't think less of me."

I am anxious that the presence of Sam, the unexpected son of the king's brother, will not make him uncomfortable.

(I hate to put it this way, but my mother is from a commoner's background. If you ask me if he is a good match for the king's brother, well, it's hard for me to answer. I hope the Dowager Empress doesn't feel bad about it.)

"Don't worry about that. My mother is concerned about your success. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have wanted to see you in the first place."

"I wish I could ....... Anyway, I'll do my best not to be disliked."

Tension grows as the meeting with Empress Dowager approaches.

She is Stella's grandmother before she is her grandmother.

Sam's honest feeling was that he didn't want to be disliked or thought less of.

"-Sam, take care of my mother."

"Yes, sir."

He nodded to Clyde and smiled contentedly.

Then he called out to the Kingsguard standing guard over one of the rooms.

"Thank you, sir. I'm here to see my mother. Let us pass."

"--"

The guard takes a step back and opens the door.

Inside the room, an elderly maid is waiting.

"Your Majesty Clyde, welcome."

"I brought my mother to see Sam and Samuel Scheidt."

"Yes. The queen mother already knows. Please, come in.

Sam left Clyde and the old maid led him into the room where the queen mother was waiting.
