Francesca Sinatra was greatly fed up and slumped her shoulders when she checked the bundle of mail that had arrived at her home.
"How can you be so shameless? It's appalling."
Fran, a bespectacled, intelligent beauty, her well-toned face contorted in disgust.
It was no wonder, then, that most of the mail she received was about an arranged marriage to her father, Delight Sinatra, the court magician.
"Oh my God, your father's too old for an arranged marriage, and you're trying to get a girl younger than me, it's so obvious that you're trying to get a girl younger than me. I feel sorry for the daughters who are forced into arranged marriages."
Not only had my father been reinstated as a court wizard, but he had also gained a great reputation after one of his overwhelmingly powerful victories over the former most powerful wizard of a neighboring country.
Delighted to be remembered by His Majesty the King, he has been associated with the Dukes of Ignaz and Counts of Walker and other prestigious nobles. He used to be in decline, but since his return, he is more highly regarded than when he used to be in active service.
One of the reasons for this is Sam's involvement.
It was Delight, of all people, who trained Sam's master Ulrike, and Sam can be called his grandson's apprentice. The fact that Sam, who had become the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, respected and admired Delight as a wizard also played a role in raising his father's reputation.
Many people want to be associated with Delight, who has successfully returned to active service.
Once the most powerful man in the kingdom, there is no doubt of his ability and wizardry. And now Delight has neither a wife nor a lover.
It was not unreasonable that someone would plot to take his daughter as his wife. Furthermore, if he could not be related to Sam, there would be those who would try to double their advantage by indirectly connecting with Delight so that they could be related to his grandson Sam.
And, of course, Fran received many offers of marriage.
"There is even a family that gave up on my father once. How can you be so shameless? How can you be so brazen? I'm impressed, actually."
Other former students of Delight's have asked to become his students again.
"--Huh. Only those who gave up on my father before anyone else would ask to be reunited with him. It's disgusting."
In the past few days, I felt like I'd been shown a lot of the worst parts of people I didn't want to see.
More than that, I am angry.
There were many people who had once been associated with Delight, but who simply cut ties with him as soon as he was defeated by Albert Frege.
I do not begrudge them this. That's the way it is with the nobility. Delight, the court wizard and the most powerful man in the Kingdom of Skye, is the reason why they made the connection. When that status is gone, they can see no advantage in dating, which is uncomfortable but unavoidable.
But there were others who could not be forgiven.
These are the disciples who gave up on Delight early on and left him. I am told that those disciples switched places with Albert, and were doing bad deeds under him.
Some of them were punished severely, and some of them did only minor misdeeds and were punished only a little.
But I don't care about them.
For Fran, the most unforgivable person was her mother.
Nancy, Delight's only wife and Fran's mother, disappeared without a word the day after her husband left to become a court wizard, leaving her daughter and her husband behind.
It seems that a letter was left behind, but Fran never read it. Her father would not let her read it. That is, that is all that was written in the letter.
Needless to say, it came as a big shock to Fran, who was still in her mid-teens. She had thought they were a good couple, and she had hoped to have a nice family one day like her parents, but she felt betrayed.
In the end, it was my mother who gave up on my father before anyone else.
This caused Delight, who was depressed, to turn to alcohol.
Fran could not blame her father for this.
