Chapter 131: Meet with Lady Hanae ③

Translated by AmaLynne

「Haaaaaaaaah!」

「I feel hurt when you sigh so loudly.」

「I’m sorry. I’m not concerned about Hanae-sama, but actually, I’m engaged to Lieselotte Walker-sama and Stella Isle Sky-sama as well.」

「I know.」

「I’m still a minor, and I’ve just become a court wizard, and I’m wondering if I should just keep getting more wives.」

「…Aren’t you hoping for a harem?’」

「I’m not! I didn’t know I was misunderstood like that!」

What a terrible misunderstanding, Sam shrugs.

(Well, I got engaged to Stella-sama after Liese-sama, but I’m meeting with Hanae-sama today, so maybe I can be misunderstood as having a desire for a harem――I’m innocent!)

He should consider himself fortunate that Lise has not misunderstood him.

If she thought he was a harem-hungry bastard or something, he would be in despair.

「I don’t care whether you have harem aspirations or not. I don’t know if you and I will get married. It’s undecided at the moment. But…」

「But what?」

「If you show me the strength to do it, I’ll do it.」

「Show me strength, you say? …In case you’re wondering.」

「What?」

「You mean, if I have another wife, all I have to do is show strength?」

「Yes. Polygamy is not uncommon among the nobility, so I don’t mind. Father has three wives.」

It is not unusual for an aristocrat to have more than one wife.

The nobleman Sam knows best is Count Jonathan Walker, who has only one wife, Grace.

According to Lise and the others, Grace was very jealous and did not approve of concubines.

But more than that, Jonathan was so devoted to Grace that he could not look at any other woman.

They were the rare aristocrats who fell in love, had a relationship, and then got married.

「All I want is to marry a good wizard and have excellent wizard children.」

「…………」

Hearing Hanae’s words, Sam knew he had to ask.

「Whether or not I will marry you is undecided on my part, but there is something I need to ask you.」

「――Shoot.」

「Suppose we get married and have a child in the future. What if that child doesn’t have the gift of magic?」

Sam had to ask before the question of whether or not to marry.

He knows Lise well enough to know that she would love an ordinary child without any problems.

However, he was worried about what she would do if her child was not as talented as Hualien, who is an excellent wizard and fighter.

In the past, Sam had been treated unfairly simply because she had no talent with a sword.

Sam herself did not find it hard, but he was angry at the way he was treated.

If the Hanae is the same as the people of the Reinbach family, who are not praiseworthy and undeserving, he’s going to leave his seat right here and now.

「――I hadn’t thought about it.」

「You should think about it. You can’t always have the kind of child you want.」

「Hmm.」

Hanae, who folded her arms and made a gesture of thinking, opened her mouth after a while.

「The actuality is, it’s not. In the Murasaki Clan, without exception, children are born with magical talents.」

「But the first exception could be your child, and even if he or she has magical talent, it doesn’t mean that he or she will excel. Can you properly love such a child?」

「…interesting question. It is natural for parents to love their children. Rather, I believe that those who cannot love are somehow flawed.」

Agreed that it’s not humanly possible.

But Sam has known parents who didn’t love their children who weren’t born the way they wanted.

「But you want a child of a superior wizard, don’t you?」

「That’s my first choice. But I don’t expect it to be what I want. The world is unreasonable and mean. It is possible that my child will not be able to use magic, as you say. But if that is the case, I will train them in martial arts and let them learn to use a sword. If they’re well, I am happy for them.」

「I’m sorry…I misunderstood…Hanae-sama.」

In response to Hualien’s clarification, Sam realizes that she was a bit sensitive and apologizes.

She shook her head, saying she didn’t care about such a Sam.

「――Hmm. But it was unexpected.」

「What?」

「Well, you said you weren’t keen on the idea of an arranged marriage, and yet we were talking about having a child.」

「No, um, that’s, how do I say it?」

「I’m just kidding. I know you didn’t have a good time at home because of your lack of talent with the sword. That’s why you were curious, wasn’t it?」

「Yes.」

「I don’t know if I’ll ever marry you, but I’m glad you’re a kind man.」

Saying this, Hanae smiled.

Sam gulped when he first saw her change her expression.

She had always been expressionless, but when she smiled, she was very pretty.

Sam cleared his throat and changed the subject, as if to cover up the fact that his eyes had been caught by her smile, even if only for a moment.

「Well, what are we going to do now?」

「I’m hungry.」

「It’s almost lunchtime, you know. Since we’re in a fancy restaurant, let’s order something.」

「Hmm.」

Hanae nodded her head as she returned to her expressionless face, somewhat looking forward to the meal, or so he thought.

Sam rang the doorbell and ordered a meal with Hanae.

The food was exquisite, as the restaurant was a high-class popular restaurant that had been purveyed by the nobility.

Sam was not sure if he and Hanae would get married, and Sam was not enthusiastic about the idea, but after some idle conversation, he realized that he and Hualien had a lot to talk about.

Hanae has difficulty expressing her emotions and her words do not contain much emotion, but after a while, he was able to read her emotions.

The conversation was lively and the blind date was over in no time.

They had a good time talking about how Hanae is a healthy daredevil, her daily efforts in magic and body art, her frustrations and admiration for her grandmother, and so on.

A little bit, really a little bit, he wish he could have talked with Hanae a little longer.

With a slight sense of regret, the blind date ended without incident.
