"Win or not, Sam, is it inevitable that you will fight Albert?"

Delight opens his mouth evasively to Fran, who can tell that he doesn't want Sam to fight.

"If the state doesn't approve of the duel, the story could go away. But Albert is a man who likes to show off his power. Even if it's a kid like Sam. He'll be glad to be able to beat up a kid with dignity."

"...... such."

"If the nobles who are backing him want to use the duel to make their position and Albert's power known, then a duel is possible."

"The fight is inevitable. ...... Is that what you're saying?"

The father nodded at his daughter's question.

"If that son of a b*tc* left without doing anything to you or Sam, I guess he did. It was more like a duel with Ur's disciples. I don't think the aristocrats who are enemies with the Earl of Walker and the Duke of Ignatz will let this go.

"Thank you for your concern, Fran. But it's okay. I myself want a duel with Albert.

"--Sam. Yes, yes. If you're willing, I won't worry about it too much anymore. But be careful. He's the most powerful man in the kingdom, the one who defeated my father.

"Of course."

I appreciate Fran's concern, but a duel with Albert is what Sam himself wants.

He would not miss out on a shortcut to the kingdom's most powerful man.

But there was something about Delight's words that bothered me.

"By the way, am I in that faction? I'm not sure about that area...what is the aristocratic faction or something like that?"

"...... Count Walker didn't explain anything to you?"

"Yes, uh, but I think the Viscount something or other I dueled with before was a rival faction."

"I can't help it, it's not my place to tell you, but okay. Listen, there are three main factions in this country.

"Huh."

The royalists want to develop the country with the king at the center. The aristocrats believe that the country can only run with the nobles. The knight faction, though not as large as the other two. You should know that. What kind of country do you come from?

Barony of Reinbach.

"...... where is that?"

Unfortunately, the Barons of Reinbach were not even recognized by their family name, let alone their domain.

(Come to think of it, I wonder how Daphne and her family are doing. (Come to think of it, I wonder how Daphne and her family are doing, they haven't sent any letters for a while.)

"What faction are you in, Mr. Delight?"

I don't have a relationship with that kind of thing anymore. But I used to be royalist.

"Ah, so you know the master."

Yes. I took on Ur because she's the daughter of Count Walker, who's been very kind to me. I had no idea at the time I was introduced to her that she would become such a wizard.

"So that's how you and Ur met."

"Many court wizards have their backers. Especially those like me who rose from the ranks of the common people. It was Count Walker and the Dukes of Ignatz who backed me.

"...... that pervert's house too?"

Sam remembers someone and sighs.

"Yeah, and that pervert's house, too."

Then Delight let out a big sigh.

The face of Günter Ignaz was probably floating around in Sam's mind, as well as in Delight's.

He is rather curious about what Günther has done before, who does not need to be named by the word "pervert".

"It seems you know how perverted he is, don't you?

Yes, well, more than enough.

"Günther's boy has been in and out of my house for ages, even though he's not my apprentice. If he wanted to learn magic he was too busy snooping in Ur's bath and dressing and trying to borrow the towels he used and getting his ass kicked by Ur. I never thought he would become a court magician. And now he's the next head of the duke's family. Isn't that amazing?

"Oh, no."

Günther was always Günther.

Delighted with his past, he speaks ill of it with his mouth, but looks nostalgic with his eyes.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, your fate depends on what happens in this duel. But, well, it's all a bit of a long shot, isn't it?

"Yes?"

Somewhat brusquely, Delight took her eyes off of Sam, cleared her throat, and spoke up.

"If you really want to fight Albert, you know what, I'll take care of you for a little bit.

"Mr. Delight! Are you sure?

"...... father."

Sam, and of course Fran, rolled their eyes in surprise.

Thinking of Delight, whom he had just met, he had never expected her to say such a thing.

"Hey, don't get your hopes up about a drunk. I just don't want to see one of Ur's disciples get killed by that son of a b*tc*. Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about you! Hey, go home now! Fran, see him out!"

"Yes, yes."

I realized that Delight was worried about me, too.

Sam bows deeply to Delight, who turns away, perhaps embarrassed.

(Delight-sama is a tsundere.)

Chuckling inwardly, Sam bowed his head once more and left the room, taking pleasure in the fact that Ur's master was taking care of him.
