The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 186: Met with Grandfather 2

Translated by AmaLynne

When Ewing Kofi, the former Viscount and patriarch of the Kofi family, returned from the Count Walker residence, his granddaughter Muie welcomed him with a smile.

“Welcome back, Grandfather.”

“Oh, did you come all the way to welcome me, Muie?”

Muie, whom Ewing doted on the most among his grandchildren, was a fifteen-year-old girl with chestnut-colored curly hair.

She was also the most intelligent among the grandchildren.

“Did you meet Samuel? How was it?”

“He was a boy who didn’t seem anything like Carius’s son.”

“Oh, I wanted to meet him too.”

“Don’t say that. We’ll have a chance to meet someday.”

Although Sam didn’t seem to have positive feelings toward Ewing, who was Carius’s father, Ewing still held hope for improvement.

“What are you planning to do about Samuel in the future?”

“I want to build a good relationship with him. I had thought about marrying you to him and deepening our relationship, but it seems that the fiancées are important to him. I don’t want to push too hard and cause trouble. Besides, the fiancées won’t easily show any weaknesses.”

“Oh, that’s a shame.”

Muie said with genuine disappointment.

“I feel the same way. There are no wizards in our family. I would have liked to have a wizard in our bloodline, but well, there’s no use in forcing it.”

Sam’s value as a prime candidate was not limited to women alone.

Wizards were rare in themselves.

Many people wished to have a wizard in their bloodline.

Especially someone like Sam, the Court Wizard and the strongest wizard in the Sky Kingdom at such a young age, was a highly desirable asset.

“I’ve heard from Father that Uncle Carius isn’t very interested in magic.”

“He was a man who thought only of swords. However, the strength of his sword was, at best, above average. Your father, on the other hand, has a somewhat weaker physique but a quick mind. He is kind-hearted but understands that he must be ruthless as a noble when necessary. That’s why I expelled Carius. I thought it would be best for my son.”

But in the end, Carius never changed.

As a parent, it was sad that he couldn’t understand his son until the end.

“But it’s amazing, isn’t it? Uncle Carius became a Baron with just a sword.”

“Yes, let’s give him credit for that. However, his treatment of children was terrible. Nothing has changed since I expelled him.”

“Could it be that he doesn’t know that wizards are a rare existence?”

“There’s no way he wouldn’t know that. Even if he did, he wouldn’t recognize their value.”

If Carius had been more open-minded, he would not have expelled Sam.

“I remembered something from Uncle Carius’s story, but there was a report earlier. It seems that Yolanda Reinbach and Manion Reinbach are heading towards the capital.”

“Yolanda? Manion? I’ve heard of them, but who were they?

“They are Uncle Carius’s wife and child. They seem to be Samuel’s half-sibling,” Muie explained.

Upon Muie’s explanation, Ewing recalled his grandchildren, whose faces he did not know.

“Oh, right, the mischievous boy who got a big head thinking he had talent with a sword and his mother. We gathered information from Reinbach, but I didn’t want to get involved with them.”

“Seems like the former main wife and the former heir.”

The Viscount Kofi family had been investigating the Reinbach Baron family since the incident with Sam.

During that process, only negative information had come in regarding Manion and Yolanda.

Ewing had no intention of getting involved with either of them.

“I think the current main wife is Harry, and the heir is her son, Harry.”

“I haven’t heard of those individuals. Do you have any information on them?”

“They are town girls from Reinbach’s territory. Apparently, Uncle Carius had a taste for them and treated them affectionately, making them his mistresses. However, Yolanda was uncontrollable, with fits of rage, and Manion once tried to kill Samuel, so they were unable to approach the mansion.”

“I see. They must be quite important.”

“It seems so. At one point, Manion, who was once the heir, became a spoiled child who couldn’t even use a sword properly. That’s why Uncle Carius gave up on him and chose Harry as the heir. He seems to have grown tired of Yolanda, who had spoiled his son. It was a good opportunity, don’t you think?”

“Manion was the one who drove Sam out.”

“Yes. Like Uncle Carius, Manion believed that swords were everything and drove out Samuel, who couldn’t use a sword properly.”

“It’s lamentable to treat someone with such talent as incompetent.”

Manion, who had treated Sam as incompetent, had become incapable of wielding a sword due to his sloppy lifestyle.

To make matters worse, he shamelessly tried to kill his half-brother twice.

Ewing, of course, had no intention of acknowledging them as part of the same family, and neither did Muie.

“It’s an interesting story, but what will you do about Manion and Yolanda?”

Asked by his granddaughter, Ewing conveyed his thoughts.

“It’s just a waste of time to get involved. Ignore them. However, I don’t want to be bothered. Keep an eye on them as soon as they enter the capital.”

“Understood.”

Muie bowed politely and left for the back of the mansion. She was likely going to give orders to her subordinates.

“Sigh. I want to get closer to Samuel, but this is troublesome. But what are they coming to the capital for?”

Ewing could not have imagined that Yolanda and Manion were heading to the capital with the delusion of taking everything from Sam.
