Sam couldn't believe his ears.

"What?"

The words spun out of Lise's mouth were something Sam had never imagined.

(No, but isn't it strange considering Lise-sama's age?)

Lise is twenty-one years old.

The second daughter of a noble family, a countess for that matter, it is not surprising that she is married.

In this world, a woman in her late twenties is considered to be a late bloomer, so it can be said that Lise is old enough to get married.

Since Ur, the eldest daughter, had run away from home to hide her illness, the responsibility of marriage must have fallen on Lise even more.

"I'm sorry, I know it's hard to hear you say something like this all of a sudden. But I wanted you to know."

"Please don't apologize. I'm a little surprised, but I don't know why.

She said she was married, but only in the past tense.

And since she is usually at the house, it is normal to assume that she is divorced.

Sam was about to ask her why she was divorced, when he held his mouth.

Then Liese laughed at him.

"Don't worry about it. I was married three years ago, but we couldn't have children. I was very much blamed for that."

"Oh, no."

"Six months into our marriage, we still couldn't have children, and your mother-in-law blamed me every day for it."

"Children are a gift. It's not Lise's fault.

Sam resents those who put the blame solely on Liese.

"They didn't think of me the way I thought of Sam. At first I thought they were kind people, but then they changed. They locked me in a room, took away my sword, and my husband, as if he had changed, blamed me for his inability to have children, even violated me ...... and had a mistress on the outside."

"-- what a guy."

I had the urge to punch out my ex-husband, a Liese I had never seen before.

There is nothing strange about not being able to have a child in six months.

It is more unusual that he locked his wife in a room, violated her, and even had a woman outside the house in six months.

"I was locked in a room and treated like a tool to make and bear children. But I couldn't have children. It was the hardest year I've ever had."

Lise's story was so angry and unpleasant that it was hard to believe that she had ever heard of it.

(But this is a different world, so women are treated differently than on Earth. I think you've got to be kidding me).

It is unfortunate, but in this world, women tend to be blamed for not having children.

When a woman has changed wives and still cannot have children, it is finally understood that it is the man who is at fault, but until then it was always the woman who was blamed.

There was a similar story in Japan not so long ago.

It is only recently that medical science has come to understand that the body has difficulty in having children.

(You're a horrible person who commits violence and has a mistress just because you can't have children.)

"When I wasn't allowed to contact my parents' house, my father and mother came in and asked me if I was home, which I found suspicious. I don't remember much, but they found me like a doll and were furious. They divorced."

I heard that when the Earl and Countess Walker said they would divorce him in a fit of anger, the other family simply said they had no use for a wife who could not bear children.

Even that makes me angry.

Even Sam was angry, so Jonathan and Grace must have been very angry at that time.

"With all due respect, it was the worst marriage I've ever seen."

"Hmmm... Sam is very clear about that. But you're right."

"But I'm done with people like that. From now on, live more freely, meet a nice man, fall in love, and be happy.

Those were Sam's honest words.

Lise had married the worst of the worst, but she had already broken it off with her partner.

Then she is free.

She can live her life the way she wants.

A nice girl like Liese will find a good man sooner or later, even if she leaves him alone.

"--Well. Hmm. Thank you, Sam."

"Please don't thank me. I'm just saying the obvious."

"What's wrong, Sam? You seem to be in a bit of a bad mood."

"Of course I'm grumpy. I didn't know that Liese-sama had been treated like that. If I had known that, I would have beaten up the house, as well as Ur, of course.

I have no doubt that I would have done it.

Ur, who was willing to use force if he didn't like it, and Sam, who was influenced by Ur, would have at least burned the other party's house down.

I only lament that I did not know this at the time.

"No, I'd rather just go in there and beat them up now."

"I appreciate the sentiment, but please don't do that. Your father would be in trouble. But thank you. It's very kind of you to be angry with me, Sam.

"Of course. Lise-sama is, uh...

What am I?

"You're my precious teacher."

A little embarrassed, Sam looked at Lise's face and said clearly.

Then she blushed, her lips parted, and she hugged him with a big smile on her face.

"Oh my God, Sam! So this is what it's like to be an apprentice! Cute!"

"Hey, don't hug me!"

"No need to be shy! Kensei-sama had a hard but sweet heart towards his disciples, but now I understand how you feel. It's wonderful to nurture people.

Liese's body heat and sweet smell make Sam feel lightheaded.

He is aware that he has said something embarrassing, and he is almost overcome with shame.

"Thanks to Sam, I am able to pick up the sword again. Thank you."

Sam was relieved to see Lise smile and have tears in the corners of her eyes.

Liese was a little tomboyish and vivacious, and a smile suited her well.

I don't want her to have a gloomy face.

She wished with all her heart that she would be happy enough to forget her painful past.

(For now, I'll look into and kill the person who played a joke on Ur's family next time.)

As Lise hugged him, Sam secretly planned to do just that.
