Chapter 117: Again, Talking About Marriage ①

Translated by AmaLynne

「I know I’ve told you a boring story, but please bear with me. By the way, I hear that you are engaged to Count Walker’s daughter, Liselotte.」

「Yes. I am delighted to have made a match with such a lovely person.」

He had no idea that his engagement to Lise had reached the king’s ears.

「I have heard about Liselotte. Her marriage is not a good one, and you should love her as much as you can.」

「Yes, I will be happy for Lise. I will make Lise happy.」

「That’s all right. I have known her since she was a child, and I wish her happiness.」

「Thank you.」

Sam bowed his head.

He was truly grateful that the king was praying for Lise’s happiness, and at the same time, he resolved once again that he would make sure to make her happy.

「Come to think of it, I also heard that you’re supposed to meet with Magnolia’s granddaughter soon.」

「Huh, somehow that happened.」

He seems to know about Magnolia as well.

Clyde smiles at Sam, who looks troubled.

「Hmmm, Magnolia. You are quite deft. There.」

(What? What do you mean,「there」? I have a bad feeling about this!)

「You will also be matched with my daughter.」

「Yes?」

「That’s a good answer.」

「Wrong! ――I’m sorry. I was just being myself.」

He just reflexively snapped and hurriedly apologized.

But you have to understand that it’s going to be plain.

Sam doesn’t understand why this storyline would lead to an arranged marriage with the king’s daughter――or princess. He doesn’t want to.

「We’re going to be father and son, so be at ease with me. Yes, I will call you Sam. Is that all right with you?」

「Yes, yes, you may call me Sam.」

「Well, then, Sam. I’d like to ask you about my daughter, Stella.」

「No, just a moment!」

「What? ――You are not satisfied with my daughter?」

「No, no! No, no, no.」

「I’m joking. Don’t panic.」

(Can you please stop joking!? I suddenly snapped and I got really scared! I mean, you’re surprisingly easy-going, you king.)

Even the thought of arranging a marriage with a princess makes him sick to his stomach.

(In the first place, there is a difference in status between a commoner and a princess…Okay, I’ll use that as a reason to somehow avoid it!)

「I’m sorry for the offer, but my status is not commensurate with that of the princess.」

「Is that so?」

「As you may know, I originally come from a baron family in the countryside. And I’m a commoner now that I’m not related to them anymore. I don’t deserve a princess.」

Sam bowed his head and appealed, but his mouth was smiling.

He was convinced that he had done well, using the difference in status as an excuse.

But,

「What are you talking about? You are now a court wizard, and I am giving you the title of count. It’s a fair match.」

The king’s words made Sam look desperate.

(Oh, shoot, that’s right, he did!)

「S-so-so, still.」

「Sam. I can’t say I don’t understand your feelings. Building a harem is sometimes envied, but it is quite exhausting.」

「Um, the king?」

「When you favor one side, you get a corner on the other. It’s the same with children. The slightest thing can spark a conflict.」

(That’s not it! All I’m saying is that Liese-sama is all I want! Let me have my lovey-dovey honeymoon! I don’t want two or three wives! I just want Lise-sama!)

「No, you see, that’s not what I’m trying to say; I’m just wondering if it’s okay to marry just one person.」

「No.」

「Right~」

Sam, who had been offered an arranged marriage by the king following Magnolia, sigh loudly.
