The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 122: Lady Stella Took a Liking to Me
Chapter 122: Lady Stella Took a Liking to Me
Translated by AmaLynne
Returning to her room, Stella turned her face to her father and smiled cheerfully.
「――Father. I am sorry to have caused you to worry. I am all right now.」
「Stella.」
「Thanks to Sam, I now know that I am only confined to a small world. No, I was able to admit what I knew and wanted to admit. From now on, I want to look forward to a wider world.」
「It would be my pleasure to do so.」
「But there is one thing I would like to make sure of.」
「You can tell me anything you want and I will be happy to oblige.」
After a short hesitation, Stella asked her father with determination.
「Do my father and mother love me? Do they think less of me?」
「I love Stella with all my heart. We love Stella with all our hearts and have never once felt slighted by her.」
「Am I allowed to be happy?」
「Of course. Parents want their daughters to be happy.」
Tears welled up in Stella’s eyes as Clyde clearly expressed his love for her.
「Thank you. And I’m sorry. I was being stubborn.」
「Good. I know how you feel. It is impossible for you not to be hurt when you are called a child of iniquity. I should have thought more about you. I am sorry.」
「Don’t apologize. I don’t care about the noise around me anymore!」 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
「Well said, Stella!」
「Father!」
The two hug each other.
(Now Stella-sama will leave the room. The King will be relieved.)
「I’m glad you two were able to reconcile. I’ll leave now.」
「Wait, Sam.」
The king reached out his arm and grabbed Sam’s shoulder as he was about to leave this place because he had a good feeling about it.
The escape failed.
(Right~)
「I thank you. I now know how my daughter feels. Stella, I want you to marry Sam and be happy. I believe that Sam, who has lightened your heart, will make you happy.」
「No.」
「I, too, have taken a liking to Sam. I would be happy to marry you.」
「You know, so, uh…」
He wanted them to stop talking about it.
The King had told him that it was just a meeting, and that the arranged marriage would take place at a later date.
However, when he opened the door, he found that he had agreed to the marriage.
Sam was troubled by this.
「I see I see! You like Sam! That’s great!」
「…No, it’s not.”」
「Stella. I will miss you too, but some want to take advantage of you. I do not want to bring chaos to the country or the royal family.」
「I understand. I know some want to carry me up.」
「If only that were the case, there are those who have filthy desires for you.? But Sam is worthy of you. He may be young, but he is good at magic and has a straight heart.」
「Yes, I too can be happy with Sam.」
The king and princess proceed with their conversation before Sam has a chance to interject.
Even if he wanted to escape, the surprisingly strong king holds him firmly by the shoulders, so he cannot run away.
Sam does not dislike Stella.
In fact, he has a? good impression of her.
However, it just seemed insincere to talk about marriage with Stella after finding and marrying the love of his life, Lise.
It’s not just Lise. He feels bad for Stella as well.
Sam, who had never even had a girlfriend in his previous life, felt uncomfortable with the idea of marriage.
He had never been taught how to behave as an aristocrat, so he still feels like a commoner in Japan.
「You will support Sam as his wife.」
「Of course.」
「I just need you to do one thing for me.」
「Please, do whatever it is you want to do.」
「I want you to renounce your claim to the throne. Of course, Stella is still my daughter. But with the right of succession to the throne, there will be those who will not give up using you.」
「Understood. I am not interested in the throne. I am only interested in being loved by my father and mother.」
「I’m sorry. And I thank you. I am blessed to have such a wise daughter like you. I love you, Stella.」
「I love you too, Father.」
Sam is glad that parents and children got through to each other.
(Now that we’ve got the good stuff out of the way, what am I supposed to do now?)
「Well, Sam. I appreciate you this time. Let’s set a date and time.」
「Date?!」
「……No, I’m sure Lieselotte and Count Walker have their reasons. I remember that you are going to meet with Magnolia’s granddaughter as well, right? We can’t proceed until we are clear about that.」
(That’s right…I was also going to meet with Magnolia-sama’s granddaughter…What I’m going to do about this? Lise-sama won’t hate me, would she?! It’s all right, isn’t it?!)
「Stella, as a fiancée, will be making decisions regarding marriage in due course. First, you should try to arrange a marriage with Magnolia’s granddaughter.」
「…understand.」
「Mm-hmm. Then, we will meet again.」
「Yes, yes, we will meet again.」
「Sam, we will meet again.」
Thanks to Magnolia’s granddaughter, whom he has not yet seen, this is as far as he has gotten here for now.
However, Sam cannot let his guard down.
Stella is ready to marry, and the king is ready to give her in marriage.
Sam cannot say no.
He feels bad for Lise, but he cannot hate Stella.
If she had a bad character or something, he could have refused her outright.
(When I go back to the mansion, I’ll get down on my knees to Lise-sama.)
With a new fiancée, Sam returns to Count Walker’s house with heavy steps.
