"...... what does that mean?" 

The air in the car felt a little heavier.

Rachel answers Sam's question with a sigh.

"You may not know this, but Louise has a very unclear past.

"You mean?"

Louise is an adventurer of some renown who has led a bleak life since she was about the same age as Samuel is now. The royal court tried to recruit her but she was repeatedly rejected.

I don't care.

There's more to the story. A few years later, Louise had a change of heart and accepted an offer from the royal court. But as a maid. The royal court had originally wanted to invite her as a knight or a Kingsguard, but she accepted because it was her wish and because it would give her access to the best men.

I'd never heard of it.

I knew Louise was a "capable" person from her appearance, but I had no idea that she was such an adventurer that the royal court itself scouted her.

(But what I wonder is that she changed her mind and accepted the scouting ...... hmmm, it's not because she was fed up with her days of fighting or anything like that?)

"Do you know why Louise-san became a maid?"

No, not that much. But it's true that you have an uncertain past, so I don't think you'd be a suitable match for the next king's brother. It's not that I don't like Louise, but it's them who will be in trouble if something happens later.

"I know, right?"

"Louise has been very good to me. I don't want Louise to be sad afterwards. ...... what's that look on your face?

"No, I don't think you're the one who was harassing that Stella."

"He has found love and changed his mind! Besides, your brother Cedric was kind to me too. I don't want you to be unhappy!

"Oh, is that so?"

Stella apparently did not know that Rachel and Cedric were close.

"...... I'm not close with my other siblings, but Cedric was the only one who was always smiling and being ridiculously nice to me."

"That's very Cedric."

Indeed, thought Sam.

Although he had not been involved with Cedric for a long time, he could not imagine that someone with a split bamboo personality like Cedric's would dislike or discriminate against anyone.

"By the way, the reason Cedric's brother hasn't been able to find a fiancée yet is because of my mother's meddling."

"......Master Cordelia, you are doing that, aren't you?"

Lise sighs.

Sam had met the second Queen Cordelia before, but he remembered her as the complete opposite of the gentle and kind first Queen Frances.

I have a younger brother, but he cannot be king. I have a younger brother but he cannot be king, partly because he is still young, but also because of his older brother Cedric. My mother doesn't like it, so she's planning to either marry a woman with problems to your brother and pull him down as heir, or send a woman who will do what he says and manipulate him.

"...... what can I say?"

Indeed, this is typical of the sordid goings-on in the royal court," Sam said with a disgusted look on his face.

To begin with, the king of the Kingdom of Skye is responsible for guarding the tomb of the Demon King Lepsy.

Now that he was free from the demon king, it was a coincidence.

We can only assume that the Second Queen Cordelia did not know about the existence of the Demon King Lepssy.

"But it's a wonder, isn't it?

"Yes?"

"I think you must be joking when I see the look on your ...... carefree face that Samuel, who is the same age as me, killed that Albert in a blink of an eye and is more capable than Mr. Delight."

"Albert was a small fish, though."

That, too, was at one time the strongest in the kingdom.

He's just a firepower idiot.

I can't even remember his face anymore.

He was the most powerful man in the Sky Kingdom, but his power was not much.

His firepower may be cumbersome, but for Sam, it's just a long, slow buildup. He could have easily cut down both of them with his weakened skills before using magic, so it was only that much.

"But, Master Delight..."

"Even Mr. Delight would have won if he had fought outside the palace. Mr. Delight is strong and scary when he fights freely. Because he fought in such a small space on the ring of the palace - no, let's not do that."

Delight was once a court wizard, but was deprived of his position by Albert.

This does not mean that Delight is weak.

It just means that they were not a good match for each other.

But now Delight is different. He has more firepower than Albert, and he has enough power to fight in a narrow ring or in the open field.

If it were a simple matter of wizardry, he would be better than Sam.

(He could win if he fought with the intention to kill, but there is no reason for him to do so.)

Since Delight is not interested in the title of the strongest in the kingdom today, there was no reason to fight in the first place.

"I can see that as we speak. I mean, are you really going to approach Delight, Rachel-sama?"

"It's not an approach! I am proposing to you!"

"It doesn't matter either way, but Fran is there too."

"Oh, Francesca, you're going to marry her, is that all right?"

"...... I don't deny that there is such a story, though."

In fact, there is talk of taking Fran as Sam's wife.

Since the wives are very welcoming, it is certain that Fran will become his wife in the near future.

Sam also has a strong feeling against Fran.

I even admire his devotion and support for Delight over the years.

"Then I must have many children so that Delight will not be lonely!

"Rachel, you're so immodest."

"No, sister! I plan to have at least ten! Oh, I envy Lieselotte. I wish I could conceive a child by the one I love as soon as possible."

Sam's face tightened as Rachel's cheeks flushed with motivation.

"Um, Lise. I think she's ready to get married."

"...... don't know. I'll leave the rest to Mr. Delight."

"Wow, he's just going to throw it all away!"

"I don't have a choice! I couldn't have predicted that Rachel would fall in love with Delight!"

"Right?"

Sam looked at Lise and sighed heavily.

Then she sighs again, anticipating the trouble ahead for Delight.

"Oh my, I'm so glad Rachel is alive and well."

Unlike the other two, Stella is smiling at Rachel, who is ready to conceive.

Sam and Liese are honestly impressed by Stella's ability to smile at her sister who used to harass her.
