"...... Well. Fran, so I have to confess that I'm attracted to Sam. But I'm not going to nurture these feelings any further and I'm going to keep them hidden."
"What? Why?"
Lise admits her feelings for Sam, but her expression is somewhat dark.
Fran couldn't help but ask her a question.
"You don't have to tell me. Sam and I are not that old, and ...... I was married once."
"I don't think Sam-kun would care about that."
"She's sweet, so maybe she doesn't mind, but I do."
Above all," Lise continued.
"Sam loves your sister Ur very much. Even though she is gone, she will never be able to get rid of her love for Ur.
Sam's feelings for Ur are known not only to Lise but to everyone.
If you ask them, they were in love with each other.
It is painful to know that they confirmed their feelings for each other in their last moments, but there is no doubt that they were in love with each other.
I don't think his strong feelings for his sister will ever disappear, and I don't want them to.
"Oh, why do you have to worry about that?"
"Huh?"
"I know that you love Ur-sama, Sam. He's been saying 'uru, uru, uru' a lot, so unless he's a very insensitive person, I'm sure you'll notice his feelings. But what does it matter?"
"............"
"Why shouldn't the person you love have another loved one?"
"...... that's a no-no."
"Of course, you may not love someone who has a family, but Sam is single. You'll get married eventually, and even if you don't meet someone better than Ursan, you may find someone you love just as much.
"Maybe."
"So you don't have to hold back."
Fran said it clearly.
"Fran, honey."
"If Sam becomes a court wizard, you will be inundated with marriage proposals. It's inevitable since you'll be obliged to leave behind your blood. If Sam is going to marry someone he doesn't want, it would be better for the people who love him to love him as much as they can.
Fran is not wrong.
Sooner or later, when Sam becomes a court magician, he will also have obligations.
The most important of these is to preserve the blood.
Wizards are rare.
It is not always the case that the child of a good wizard will become a wizard, but it is not impossible.
Then, it is natural to expect that those wizards who are good enough to be chosen to be court wizards will be good enough to be chosen to be court wizards.
Not all court wizards have children, but there is no doubt that the country and the people would want an heir.
In such cases, political marriages were not uncommon.
It is needless to say that the factions to which they belonged and the nobles who backed them would send their children to strengthen the ties with the court wizards.
Lise does not want Sam to have such a marriage.
He will no longer have Ur, the man he loves so dearly, but he wants him to have a proper, loving marriage and a warm home.
Liese's unhappy marriage made her think about it more.
"...... You seem to be concerned about Sam, too, don't you, Fran?"
"Yes. I'm grateful to you for getting my father back on his feet and for protecting me from that Albert. I was the reason for this duel. I don't think there's a woman in the world who wouldn't be conscious of that."
"...... well."
Liese tried to return the favor, but Fran readily admitted her feelings.
Even to a person of the same s*x, the slight blush on Fran's cheeks was adorable.
I am sure that Sam would have felt the same way if he saw her face right now.
My heart prickles a little when I think of that.
"Hey, Lise. We can never have a relationship like the one between Sam and Ursama. But you know, I think we have a way of being with Sam that only we can do.
"--Yes, yes, of course."
"I've only just met Sam and Lise, so I don't think it's going to happen right now. But I don't want to put a lid on my feelings even though I hate him.
Liese thinks about Sam in response to Fran's words.
A younger, kind boy with excellent magic.
He is cheerful, energetic, polite, but also a little arrogant and quarrelsome, she learned the other day.
Training with him is a lot of fun, and it is a pleasure for me as a master swordsman to see him stealing techniques from me as if he were a cotton wool.
I look forward to spending time with him every day.
It pains me just to think of Sam enjoying himself with someone other than himself.
Maybe it's a feeling that hasn't yet developed into love.
I don't even know if I am qualified to love him in the first place.
But Lise thinks that it would be too sad to give up the feelings she holds in her heart for him.
"Sam is still a minor and there is still time. Let's try not to regret it.
"...... I don't want to have any regrets. Thank you, Fran. You've helped me face my feelings."
"Hmmm... I'm afraid I'm adding another rival to my list. But I want Lise to be happy too, so... keep up the good work."
Lise nodded in agreement to her friend's encouragement.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
