Chapter 125: At That Time, in Baron Reinbach’s House ⑤

Translated by AmaLynne

「Why…why did this happen?!」

――Thud, Karius Reinbach pounded his fist on his office desk and shouted in frustration.

The reason for Karius’ anger was his son, Sam, who had left the family five years earlier.

「That bastard!」

Karius punched the desk of his office again.

Sam, who had been neglected as the son of an untalented man, had instantly killed Albert Frege, the most powerful court wizard in the kingdom, and had even fought a dragon that was about to attack the royal city.

He seems to be well remembered by the king as he has made peace with the dragon, not by slaying it, but by having a conversation with it.

He even heard that he was engaged to Liselotte Walker, the second daughter of Count Walker’s family, where he was staying.

The events were too much for the ill-fated son.

「Samuel, you…were supposed to be a failure who couldn’t use a sword, but I didn’t think you could use magic…Why didn’t you tell me!」

The talk among the nobles was now all about Sam.

It was the same for the frontier nobles.

「How much do you think Samuel has made me look like a fool to everyone around me!」

Karius’ anger did not subside.

In addition to Sam, he had two other sons, Manion and Harry.

.

Both were gifted with swords, but Sam did not have any.

He could not use a sword, let alone any kind of weapon or armament. He was deemed unfit to be the heir to the baronet’s family, which had started the Reinbach family with swords, and he was removed from the list of successors.

He never thought that such a Sam would have such a talent for magic, and such power that he would become the strongest in the kingdom.

Thanks to this, he received a reprimand from Viscount Riedyll, with whom he had a good relationship.

Regardless of what Karius thought, in the eyes of the general public, wizards are rarer than skilled swordsmen.

He had driven away his eldest son, who probably had the talent of a wizard, and then declared him dead.

The Viscount’s anger was understandable.

His relationship with Viscount Riedyll was such that he promised to marry off the Viscount’s daughter to the Baron’s family.

The Viscount initially proposed his daughter, Luce Riedyll, as Sam’s marriage partner.

It is said that Luce fell in love at first sight with Sam when they exchanged greetings during a visit to the baron’s house. As a father, he wanted to fulfill his daughter’s first love.

However, Karius decided that an inadequate and embarrassing son would be disrespectful to the other, so he pushed Manion, who was to become the head of the family.

Luce was not happy about that.

Still, when he had no choice if he was dead, Sam’s survival and success as a wizard arrived.

Thanks to this, the Viscount’s anger continues to this day and shows no sign of abating.

「Shame on him that not only Samuel…but also Manion had their engagement called off!」

Already the engagement between his second son Manion and Luce has also been called off.

But Karius could not protest this to the Viscount.

Manion had once been a child with a gift for the sword.

But now he is so fat that he cannot even wield a sword properly.

This alone was enough to make him angry, but he was also jealous of Harry, his official successor, and wanted to kill him.

He was a great fool who seemed to have learned his lesson by turning the tables once but went for it a second time.

It was a foolish thing to do, not to change his attitude toward life, but to try to kill and take away his successor’s position, although his mother Yolanda may have encouraged him to do so.

Harry fought him off the second time, but the sight of Manion ranting excuses and giving unfounded reasons why he was a more suitable successor pushed Karius to his limits.

As a result, he smashed Manion with a wooden sword and broke his dominant arm so that he would never be able to misbehave again.

Since then, although he has been quiet and blocked up again, Karius inwardly wanted to kill Manion.

「If only Yolanda’s family had taken them in sooner!」

Yolanda’s father is a man who runs an extensive mercantile business.

He should be able to take care of his daughter and grandson, but he refuses to accept a thoughtless man who attempts to commit murder.

That said, he has no intention of leaving the two of them at home forever.

He is not worried about the possibility that the temperamental and short-tempered mother and son will attack Harry again at any time.

「The only thing to do is to get rid of those nuisances as soon as possible.」

He didn’t care what happened to Manion and Yolanda.

He wanted to get rid of even one of the troublesome ones.

「Speaking of troublesome, that little daughter of the Viscount’s family…who was going to be Harry’s prospective fiancée, refused to be his wife. Do you think I want that loser of a child that badly!」

Karius, who had given up on Manion, who had no future, proposed to marry Harry, the most talented swordsman, and the official heir, but Luce, as well as the Viscount, rejected the proposal.

Annoyingly, he was told that there was no need to make a match with someone whose illegitimate child might appear again and replace the heir.

He even said that if he was going to make a match, he would prefer Sam.

It was humiliating.

It was extremely annoying and abhorrent to be mocked by a frontier viscount who had never left the countryside, and who had originally lived in the royal capital and was originally the heir to the viscount’s family.

「It’s all Samuel’s fault! If it weren’t for him!」

Now, Karius is mocked by the nobles with whom he associates as “a fool who failed to see the talent of his son.

Manion is the one who kicked him out of the house, but somehow the people around him also know about his treatment of Sam before that, and Karius’ reputation is ruined.
