There was a figure watching Lise as she grabbed Sam's arm and ran happily out of the mansion.
It was Jonathan Walker, the head of the Earl Walker family, and his wife Grace.
"You, look at this. Lise is so lively.
Grace had tears in her eyes as she said this.
"I can't thank you enough, Sam. I didn't know what to do with Lise who had suffered so much and I treated her like a tumor, but I don't know if that was the right thing to do.
"Me too."
"But now that Sam has come to live with us, Lise has brightened up. She has regained her former vivaciousness. As a parent, I could not be happier.
"I'm sure it's good that Sam doesn't know anything about his past."
The Count nodded in agreement with his wife's words.
"I'm sure we would have thought of what happened to Liese," said the Count. She is a smart girl. He will see it in our little gestures."
I can't see my daughters' backs anymore.
We know they went hunting from the conversations we heard.
I'm not worried.
Lise is a former disciple of the swordsmith, and Sam is Ulrike's disciple.
We know that there are only weak monsters around the city, because knights and adventurers are regularly killing monsters and the city is surrounded by wards.
Occasionally, a stronger monster will drift in from somewhere, but it is rare, and with the two of them being so capable, it should not be a problem.
"I still wonder," he says. I still wonder why Lise had to go through what she did.
"I agree with you. --I thought it was a good marriage, but I did not expect to be treated like that when I married."
Lise was once married.
But the marriage was not a happy one.
The Walkers regretted that they had failed to notice that their daughter was suffering.
When they finally found out that their daughter was being treated badly by her husband, they let her leave the marriage, but the bright and cheerful Lise was gone.
Time had passed slowly, not knowing how to deal with such a daughter, but now a change had occurred.
It was thanks to a boy named Samuel Scheidt.
He was a pupil of Ulrike, the eldest daughter, and when Lise took care of Sam during his stay at the house, he regained his former cheerfulness.
He took up the sword again, which he had thought he would never hold again, and began to train Sam.
He found himself laughing as often as he used to.
The Count and Countess are truly grateful to him for all he has done for them.
"I heard that the man has remarried. He's younger than Lise and has just come of age."
"It's infuriating. But it doesn't matter now. I'm already cut off from that man, or that family.
"Yes, you're right. At least I hope the new woman who marries into that family won't have to go through what Liese went through."
"--Yes."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound so gloomy. It's just that Lise was smiling at me like she used to.
"I know. Fortunately, Sam will be in King's Landing for a while. If he wants to become a court wizard, it should be a year at least.
Even if Sam were to quickly attain the position of court wizard, he would still have obligations because of his position.
Even though he aims to be the best wizard, a court wizard is expected to work hard.
Then it will not be easy to leave King's Landing, or even this country.
Lise will be pleased to hear this.
"I bet. I'm tempted to let Sam and Lise get married.
"I know that you love Ulrike. I know that you love Ulrike, and I know that you will not easily change your mind about her. As a parent, I can only thank you for loving my daughter so deeply.
"But Sam has his own life. He himself would not want Ulrike to be dragged down forever."
"Of course. But it's too soon to tell. Sam has just lost Ulrike. He needs time to calm down. Besides, I'm sure Lise doesn't see you as a man yet either.
"Yes, I was a little hasty. I was a bit premature, too. I was a bit surprised when Lise laughed like that.
In their eyes, Sam and Lise's relationship was still that of a close sister and brother.
Maybe Liese feels for him more than her brother, but Sam is still her older sister.
They would be happy to have a straight and likable boy like Sam as their son-in-law.
But the most important thing in a marriage is the feelings of the people involved.
Maybe he was naive because he was an aristocrat, but it was his parental mind to be cautious since his daughter had once been unhappy because of his marriage.
"You are really very lenient with your daughters," he said.
"You are too strict, so I may be lenient. I don't want you to hate me for being too hard.
"Oh, my God, what a jerk you are!"
"Hmmm. Well, let's keep an eye on Liese for a while. Maybe Sam will come to know about her past. If you can support him then, you can entrust him to me.
"You seem happy because you wanted a son."
"Sam is a very good boy, indeed. I hear that he was not treated well in his birthplace, but he remains upright and not corrupt. It is a pity that he has not grown up yet. I'd love to have a drink with him."
"You're totally in love with him, aren't you?"
Grace laughed at Jonathan's praise of Sam.
"Even without the fact that he was Ulrike's apprentice, he is a good boy, talented in magic, polite, and likable. I only wish she were my own child."
"Then let us hope that one day you will be our child."
"Yes. If you are to become a court wizard in time, you will need a backer. Then you might even adopt a child from my family.
"I'm sure Ulrike will be surprised when she finds out."
"No, they will praise you for a job well done."
The wife nods her head as the husband smiles at her.
She is still sad about the loss of Ulrike and will need time to recover from it.
But the daughter has left us a bond.
But she has left us a connection with Sam, a talented boy who has inherited everything from her daughter.
Thanks to him, Lise, our second daughter, has already brought back the brightness.
The couple sincerely hopes to cherish the connection their daughter has left them.
