The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 109: Lises Determination and My Feelings ②
Chapter 109: Lise's Determination and My Feelings ②
Translated by AmaLynne
「Lise! Do you know what you are saying!?」
「That’s right! You are talking about Sam!」
Lise looked a little sad when her parents spoke about their feelings as they were.
「―――I think you already know this, so I won’t hide my feelings from you now. I love Sam.」
「Then!」
「But I am not worthy of her, am I?」
「Don’t tell me you’re worried about being married once?」
「…………」
Lise was silent at her father’s question.
Both Jonathan and Grace knew immediately that the silence was an affirmation.
「I’m sorry, that marriage proposal was my fault. I am the one to blame.」
With regret in his eyes, Jonathan got up from the bed and apologized to his daughter.
But Lise shook her head, not blaming her father.
「I was not to blame father, because I had agreed to marry. But I still think it is unforgivable for me, a returnee, to be married to Sam.」
「―――Lise, you don’t have to worry about what is or is not allowed.」
「Mother…Sam, he’ll find someone better.」
「Are you okay with that?」
「Yes, I am. But it would be a comfort to me if I could at least have a physical connection with Sam. Please, let me serve in that regard.」
Although grateful for her parents’ kind words, Lise did not accept them to the end.
Lise’s thoughts were only about Sam.
She did not mind killing her love for Sam if it was for his sake.
Lise looked at her father with determined eyes and then bowed deeply.
After a while, words mixed with sighs were uttered.
「……Fine, if you insist that much.」
「Dear!」
「Look up, Lise.」
「Yes.」
Lise looked up as she was told.
Father looked straight at her.
Mother’s face turned red and she glared at him.
「I leave you in charge of Sam.」
「Thank you. Then I will go to Sam as soon as possible. Good night.」
After greeting her parents, Lise leaves the bedroom.
The two of them remained silent for a while until Grace became impatient and raised her voice.
「Dear! Why didn’t you stop Lise! That would have hurt both Lise and Sam later!」
「I know. But human emotions are not something even parents can control. Lizeth probably thought that way because of her strong love for Sam.」
「Even I can understand that! That girl is willing to give up by making memories of one night with Sam!」
「I know that much.」
「Then why?」
Grace, as a woman, understood her daughter’s feelings.
She loves Sam so much that she thinks it’s best for her to step aside, but she can’t. So why not at least have a one-night stand with him?
Then she wants to at least have a one-night stand and end her love affair.
―――But what awaits him after that will be a painful day.
Even if she succeeds in forcing herself to contain her feelings for Sam, the emotions will not simply disappear.
They will continue to smolder in Lise’s chest somewhere.
And she must continue to see Sam meet someone, fall in love, love each other, and get married.
Sam and Lise are families now. Since they are also master and disciple, there is no way to cut them off from each other.
Therefore, Lise has no choice but to watch Sam get married to someone else.
―――But that would be too cruel. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
It would be nice if Lise could fall in love with someone other than Sam, but there is no possibility of that.
It is because of Sam that Lise loves him.
「I’m just as concerned about Lise as you are. But I have a feeling it won’t be the worst we can think of, you know.」
「Why?」
「Laugh at me for thinking so naively. But I’m sure Sam will accept even Lise now.」
「……Dear.」
「I believe in them both.」
Jonathan said and tried to go back to bed.
But Grace was not worried about her daughter.
「I like Sam and I want to believe in him. But I’m not necessarily optimistic that it will turn out well.」
「It’s not that I haven’t considered the possibility that it might not work out. It’s unfortunate, but when that happens, it means there was no connection between the two.」
Grace could not stop Lise, who had already gone to Sam’s room and could only nod reluctantly at her husband’s words.
「―――Sam. Please take care of my daughter for me.」
Grace couldn’t help but hope so, even though she knew she would never reach it.
