Chapter 79: The Families Are Worried ③
Translated by AmaLynne
.
Both Jonathan and Lise took a breath.
Once again, they knew they had misjudged Sam’s ability.
Indeed, Sam had shown them that he could break Günther’s wards.
No one but Ur could have done that.
At that ti, both Jonathan and Lise had only just co to realize that Sam’s ability was better than they had imagined.
Still, they didn’t think he was good enough to beat the strongest in the kingdom.
Simply, they are also concerned for his safety.
But maybe sowhere along the way, they underestimated that he was still a child.
「Just.」
「Just what?」
「I’ve only been fighting for a short ti myself, and I don’t want to speak highly of myself as a loser, but in terms of skill, Delight-sama may be better, but in terms of defeating humans, Albert is probably better.」
At Günther’s addition, Jonathan and Lise fell silent.
After a while, it was Lise who opened her mouth.
「Even if it’s possible, I’d be concerned if there was any lingering uncertainty.」
「I know. But I heard that Sam has been traveling with Ulrike from place to place, gaining experience. I don’t know if my guess is correct.」
「Of course!」
「But I don’t bla you for thinking badly of . Sam may be more experienced and stronger than we think.」
「Such speculation!」
「Believe is love.」
「―――!, how could I not believe in Sam?」
「I know that. Very, very well.」
Lise is just worried.
As well as being a precious apprentice left behind by her sister, Sam is now an irreplaceable family mber.
Just the thought of anything happening to him sends a cold sweat down her spine.
It is not a question of whether Sam will win or lose to Albert.
She doesn’t want him to fight soone like Albert who is capable and has a personality problem.
「Lise, aren’t you being a little overprotective of Sam?」
「No way!」
「Don’t tell you’re not. I understand how you feel. I’m worried about my darling Sam, too. I shudder to think of sending him into battle with such a savage. But it’s what Sam himself would have wanted.」
「……that is.」
Lise choked on her words at Günther’s point.
He is right.
It is Sam himself who wants most to fight Albert.
「I just don’t want you to take this the wrong way. I don’t believe in Sam’s victory like a fool. If Sam is going to lose, I will intervene before he is killed.」
「……Really?」
「I swear to the late Ur, I will protect Sam.」
「FIie then. Then I’ll say no more.」
「Lise and Günther both need to calm down. I am just as worried about Sam as you are, but the duel has already been decided. You can’t overturn it.」
Rebuked by Jonathan, both Lise and Günther cald down.
Both of them had been emotional because of their strong concern for Sam.
「Fortunately, I have been told that Delight-tono is going to take care of him for a while.」
「Hee. That Delight-tono is talking about Sam?」
「……That would please Fran.」
「Apparently, his eting with Sam brought a change.」
While not completely back on his feet, it was good news that Delight was once again involved in magic.
Jonathan is still convinced that it was the right decision to have Sam and Delight et.
「What I’m more worried about is whether or not Sam will keep up his good behavior and get himself in trouble in front of the king.」
「It’s possible. Both Ulrike and Sam seem to be very belligerent toward people they don’t like, so there is a possibility that he will go too far in front of Albert.」
「Sister Ur has done that a few tis, and it worries .」
The three’s concerns turned from Sam and Albert’s fight to whether Sam would behave roughly in front of the king.
They know he is a good boy, but it seems that he sotis acts without thinking about the consequences of his actions, like this duel.
Jonathan couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking that he wouldn’t have to be so much like his daughter.
「First, I’ll talk to Sam tomorrow. I don’t want to worry too much. And I don’t want to make him feel insecure.」
Lise and Günther nodded at Jonathan’s words.
The next thing they know, it is already late at night.
The three of them drank the remaining wine and ended their discussion.
