"What do you mean?"
"Why did you become a court wizard, Master Scheidt?"
Louise does not answer the question, but returns with a question.
"Because I want to be the best. That's why I'm here.
"Why do you want to be the best?"
"Because I want to be a wizard who will never be ashamed of my late greatest teacher."
Louise smiled sadly at Sam's strong-willed words for some reason.
"I envy you so much, Mr. Scheidt, for pursuing your dreams."
"Why is that?"
I had no such dreams, no purpose, nothing."
"What?"
"It is true that I wanted to test myself. But it is not a dream. I was strong. I had a natural reputation, I had money, and I sent money home to my parents, who were weirded out by me, just to show them how much I cared. I drank the wine of victory, I was recognized as a top adventurer, I had fame and accolades, and I thought there was nothing I couldn't have. But I did not value them."
Many adventurers would have wanted what Louise got.
They would have envied her to the point of burning with jealousy.
But neither fame, money nor admiration were worth it to her.
How lonely it was!
"Suddenly I realized. I did not want to be an adventurer. I didn't want to hunt for food, but I didn't want to fight a battle I didn't have to fight. I had no reason to kill anyone with dirty hands. I was just living momentarily. I was sick of that kind of life - no, let's be honest, I was tired of it."
I wonder what Louise was thinking and feeling at that moment.
I think it is sad that she did not see the value in what she had been doing for so many years.
"I was only successful because I was strong. That's all. I'm just a boring woman who indulged in fleeting pleasures."
Louise spits out the words as if in self-mockery.
"I cannot possibly respond to the feelings of such a person as Your Highness, who is kind-hearted, intelligent, and cares about the country and its people.
It sounded as if he wanted to respond if he could.
"Above all, I have a very good reason why I should not respond to your feelings.
Louise's way of saying not "I can't" but "I mustn't" caught my attention.
Sam asked her why, knowing that she was being rude.
"Why?"
Louise looked Sam straight in the eye and let out an emotionless voice.
"--because I am a servant of the Demon Lord Vivienne Claxtons.
A moment later, Sam fired a hand sword filled with maximum magic power toward Louise's neck.
