An hour later.

Sam was unshackled and shown into the drawing room of Count Walker's house.

Waiting for him in the room were a handsome man of about 40 and a flaxen-haired woman of about 30.

He immediately recognized them as the parents of his beloved master.

Both of them looked somewhat like Ur.

Both of them had red, swollen eyes.

I assume that they have identified Ur's corpse and will.

(They are Ur's parents.)

They rose from their chairs and bowed deeply as Sam entered the room.

"Samuel. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for delivering my daughter's corpse and will."

"Thank you very much."

"Please look up. I'm just doing what a disciple should do."

"Still, all I can say is thank you."

After thanking Sam, they both slowly looked up.

"Come, sit down. We have a lot to talk about."

"Yes."

At their urging, Sam watched as they sat down in their chairs and then sat down.

"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jonathan Walker. I'm the head of the Earl and Countess Walker family.

I am Grace Walker.

Nice to meet you. My name is Samuel Scheidt. Please, call me Sam.

Sam says his name and bows his head.

Both of them looked a little surprised.

"Scheidt...... coincidentally, my daughter's magic name was also Scheidt."

"Ur, no, my master gave it to me as a family name."

"I see. Ulrike must have liked you very much.

I'm glad to hear that."

Jonathan gazed intently into Sam's face.

Then he sighed tiredly.

"I'm surprised that your maverick daughter took on an apprentice and loved him so much, but I had no idea that he was ill. As a parent, I feel so sorry for her."

"I understand that your daughter was cared for by Lord Sam at the end of her life?"

Yes. If I had known of your master's illness earlier, I would have forced you to bring him to King's Landing, but I am sorry.

"You have nothing to apologize for. You have nothing to apologize for. Thanks to you we will be able to hold Ulrike's funeral and put her in a grave.

"I'm glad to hear you say that."

Both Jonathan and Grace wiped their tears with handkerchiefs and thanked Sam again.

Sam was also on the verge of tears if he was not careful.

"I'm sorry. It's still hard for me to accept my daughter's death."

I'm sorry for your loss.

"Thank you. But let's talk about you.

"Yes."

"She left a suicide note with a lot of things about you in it."

"...... I see."

"That you are a very good wizard, that you inherited your daughter's magic, and that she loved you."

"I loved my master with all my heart."

If the message had already been conveyed, there was no point in hiding it, so I made it clear.

I don't want to lie about my feelings for Ur.

Sam answered honestly, knowing that he would be blamed.

"......I know I'm very hesitant to ask you this, and I know it might hurt you, but let me ask you this. Did Ulrike and you have a s*xual relationship?"

No, there was no such thing.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I asked you that. I just wanted to know how much you two had known each other.

"I hope you don't mind. I loved my master, but it was only at the end of my life that I was able to tell him."

"I see."

"My relationship with my master, if I may be so bold, is family."

"--Okay. Family."

Jonathan and the others did not express their displeasure at Sam calling Ur a family member in the presence of his own family.

Sam is a little relieved.

There had been some concern that they might not be happy about Sam becoming their apprentice without their knowledge.

For the moment, however, neither of them expressed any of these feelings.

"I'm glad he's not lonely."

"Really. I'm sure she was happy to have you by her side."

I'm glad to hear that.

"Well, you've inherited everything from your daughter."

"That's right."

"To be honest, I am surprised that my daughter was able to use the technique to pass on her magic. What did you inherit from her?

I understand Jonathan's question. 

Even Sam, who inherited everything from Ur, still cannot believe that such a technique exists.

"I inherited my master's magic, magic power, knowledge, and skills."

"--All of it?"

"Yes. I still don't know how to use it, but I inherited it all."

"I never thought such a thing was really possible. It would be a big deal if I presented it at an academic conference.

There was an upset look on Jonathan's face.

"You, now is not the time.

"Yes, it was. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mister Sam.

Jonathan, who was about to change the direction of the conversation when his wife rebuked him, clears his throat and returns to the story.

"Yes."

"What will you do with the power you inherited from your daughter?"

"I'm going to stay in King's Landing for a while. I have things to do."

"What do you mean by what I should do?"

When asked, Sam made it clear what he had to do.

"I will become the most powerful wizard who can surpass my master."
