Chapter 184: Letter Has Arrived
Translated by AmaLynne
After spending so ti with the king, Sam wanted to et with Stella if ti allowed. However, since she was apparently out riding a horse, he didn’t want to disturb her and decided to head back ho.
“Maybe I should buy so souvenirs for Lise-sama and the others in the town.”
Knowing they were having a girls’ gathering during the day, Sam thought of getting so cookies.
“Samuel.”
“Hmm?”
At that mont, he felt like soone was calling his na. He looked around to find an elderly man staring directly at him.
(—Who is this?)
At the very least, he didn’t recognize the man.
One could tell he was a noble by his attire.
Before Sam could inquire if the man needed sothing, the man spoke up.
“Is your na Samuel Reinbach?”
“No, you’ve got the wrong person.”
Sam replied clearly.
.
At the sa ti, he decided to completely sever any involvent with this man.
He gave the elderly man a nod, intending to leave. However, the man didn’t give up easily.
“…… No, you’re—”
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
“I-I’m talking about—”
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
“But you—”
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
Despite not knowing who this old man was, Sam had a bad feeling that this would lead to trouble.
After all, anyone who called him by a ridiculous na like Samuel Reinbach instead of Samuel Scheidt was bound to be up to no good.
Sam was, after all, a mber of the Scheidt family, and his only family was the Count Walker household.
Of course, this didn’t include the residents of Reinbach territory or Daphne and Derrick, who were practically family. But even so, he wanted nothing more to do with that family.
(I didn’t expect anyone from such a rural baron’s family to be in the capital. I was a bit careless.)
“Well, now that you understand it’s a case of mistaken identity, I’ll take my leave.”
“W-Wait!”
The old man called out to Sam, but he paid no heed and leaped into the air, using body enhancent magic to make a powerful leap.
Then, he used flight magic to soar through the sky and head back to the Count Walker estate.
Upon deactivating the magic and landing quietly on the ground, he heard a voice from the second floor of the mansion.
“Sam, welco back.”
“Oh, Lise-sama. I’m back.”
“What did the queen want from you?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but it wasn’t anything major.”
Sam didn’t want to ntion that he had been urged to get engaged to Princess Rachel.
Lise would likely find it unpleasant, and he didn’t want to bother her with such matters.
“Lise-sama, how have you been feeling?”
Using flight magic again, Sam flew up to the second floor.
It might have been impolite, but he entered the mansion through the window.
“I’m fine, thank you. Don’t worry too much about . I’m not that fragile.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m happy that you’re concerned.”
Saying this, Lise kissed Sam on the cheek.
“Oh, by the way. You received a letter.”
“For ? From Daphne, perhaps?”
“It seems different. I only looked at the address, but it’s written to Viscount Riedl.”
“Viscount Riedl… I’ve never heard of that na before. Well, I might have, but…”
The na sounded familiar and unfamiliar at the sa ti.
He felt like he had heard it sowhere, but he couldn’t rember.
“Anyway, why don’t you open it? That way, you’ll find out.”
“Sure. Alright.”
He opened the letter and checked its contents. Sam let out a deep sigh.
“Sigh…”
“What’s wrong?”
“It seems like the Viscount Riedl family is the forr fiancée of my forr younger brother.”
“Forr brother? You an the Reinbach?”
“Yes, that’s right. However, it seems their engagent was canceled. I heard from Daphne’s letter that it was because a hidden child beca the heir, and that led to the dissolution of the engagent.”
“It’s unfortunate, but such stories are not uncommon among nobles.”
“Yes, well, that’s true.”
His forr brother, Manion, was the heir of the Baron Reinbach family.
After Sam had left that family, he didn’t know the details of what had happened.
However, he knew that Manion had a half-brother, and it seed that the other child had beco the heir.
(He was the one with absolute confidence that he would beco the heir if I left. Well, it doesn’t concern . I can’t even rember his face.)
He wasn’t particularly interested. For Sam, both Manion and the newly appointed heir were insignificant figures. The real issue was the Viscount Riedl.
“What’s wrong? You seem a bit off, with a furrowed brow and all.”
“Well, it’s just that the Viscount Riedl seems to want to et once. With his daughter.”
“Sam, that’s probably…”
“Yeah, I get it. It’s probably sothing like that. I’m getting tired of these things.”
Although it wasn’t explicitly ntioned, it was clear that he was considering asking for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Ever since Sam had defeated Albert to beco a court wizard, there had been contacts from families who wanted to establish a connection with him through the Count Walker family.
Recently, with four fiancées, they were receiving repeated requests from families hoping for a chance.
Perhaps the old man who had approached Sam earlier was also from a similar category.
“Well, there’s nothing to be done. After all, Sam is a court wizard, and there’s also Princess Stella among your fiancées.”
“Yeah, I guess so. But there’s sothing that’s been bothering a bit.”
“What is it?”
“In the letter from the Viscount Riedl, it’s written that his daughter is looking forward to eting again. The thing is, I don’t have any mory of eting her.”
“I see. Isn’t that part of the plan?”
“Yeah, but it’s bothering . I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s nagging at .”
It felt like he had forgotten sothing.
“Oh, Sam, that’s unusual for you. Are you showing such keen interest in a viscount’s daughter?”
“No, it’s not like that! I an, it’s not about that. But there’s sothing about it that’s bugging .”
Perhaps he had known her before becoming his current self.
Sam didn’t rember all of his mories, so there was a possibility that he couldn’t recall her.
If that were the case, he wondered what that girl would think when she saw the person he had beco.
It piqued his curiosity just a little bit.
