The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 124: Jealous Lise ②

Translated by AmaLynne

(Oh no! …I misspoke!)

「No, no, no! She’s beautiful, but not as attractive as Lise-sama!」

「…Well, okay. I’ll forgive you for seeing Sam’s flustered face.」

「I’m glad. Thank you.」

Relieved that he had been granted forgiveness, Lise again broached the subject of Stella to Sam.

「I don’t think she’ll be treated well if she marries a hostile faction, and I don’t want her to be just another object of desire in the first place. It is natural for parents to want to marry their children off to a safe place.」

「And I don’t quite understand myself.」

Sam had no intention of mistreating Stella, but he could not understand why he had been chosen for the king’s favor.

Lise laughed at Sam.

「Sam is a good candidate for marriage?」

「I don’t know myself.」

「Fufu, yes. First of all, Sam is in the care of Count Walker, isn’t he?」

「Yes, well, I’m sorry I’ve been such a burden to you.」

「I know that one of the things that His Majesty the King feels most secure about is that he has my father’s eyes and my presence.」

He said he would feel more secure in a house with the same faction’s core members.

They also believe that since Stella and Lise have known each other since childhood, they will not be treated badly.

The king, who knows Jonathan and Lise, is the reason why he chose Sam, who is closely related to both of them, as the partner for his daughter.

「He also wants to bind Sam to the royal family and to this country.」

「Bind? That’s a nasty word, isn’t it?」

「What choice does he have? ? If he wants to keep you in the country and deepen your relationship with the royal family, marriage is the fastest way to do it, isn’t it?」

「That’s true, but…」

「By the way, I heard that there was also talk of a marriage between Sister Ur and His Highness Cedric.」

Cedric is the first prince and heir to the kingdom.

Sam was more than a little surprised that Ur was being asked to marry such a person.

But at the same time, he thought that a wizard as good as Ur would be a worthy queen.

First of all, she would be able to protect herself, and she would also be able to guarantee the safety of her husband. No queen could be more reassuring.

「What was Ur’s reaction?」

Lise laughed as she remembered.

「She dismissed it as not being to her liking. And in front of His Majesty and His Highness. I heard that my father went down on his hands and knees, clutching his stomach.」

Sam laughed at Ur’s very typical way of refusing.

At the same time, he was also touched by Jonathan’s hardship.

He reflects on the trouble his daughter once put him through, and now himself.

However, it is not that Sam wants to be a burden to Jonathan’s stomach.

「And by the way, I heard Günther was acting like a spoiled brat.」

「Oh, I expected that.」

There was no way that Ur’s stalker would let her get married without a word.

The sight of Günther, who looks like a prince in a girl’s comic book if only in appearance, ranting and pouting was a bit of a sight to behold.

Ur would probably have at least kicked him after she sighed.

「Because of all that, the story of my sister and His Highness has drifted away. That’s why he wanted to recommend it this time, even if it was a little pushy.」

「I’m here. I only need Lise-sama for me.」

「Oh, Sam! Don’t make me so happy! ――But you mustn’t say no.」

「What?」

His heart jumped when Lise uttered the warning as if she had looked into his mind.

To tell the truth, he thought it would be better for Lise if he refused.

It was an honor that Princess Stella liked him, but he was not capable of loving two women and living a married life.

In the first place, he had never been in love in his previous life and could not even imagine what marriage would be like.

It is almost a miracle that he and Lise are even able to make out like this.

However, Lise says that he should not refuse.

「I know that Stella-sama has had a hard time. If she stays in the palace, the potential that she has might ruin. I feel so sorry for her. It’s not sympathy, but let’s make room for her.」

「Are you sure?」

「To be honest, it’s not interesting. It’s strange, how once I was ready to give up on Sam, but now that we’re together, I’m jealous of him.」

「I’m glad Lise-sama is jealous of me.」

「Fufu, then I’m proudly jealous. But you see, Sam has to leave behind an heir, and it doesn’t matter how many people you have to support you.」

Jealous but tolerable, Lise was after all the daughter of a nobleman.

Her determination and her willingness to put Sam first instead of herself made him bow down to her.

And although she doesn’t say it out loud, she can’t leave Stella alone for some reason.

Because Lise was once unhappily married, she cannot turn a blind eye to the possibility of an unwanted marriage or an unhappy ending awaiting her if Sam doesn’t marry her.

「I thought the second one might be Hanae-sama, but I didn’t expect Stella-sama to come. But it’s a good marriage. It’s good for Sam to have a connection with the royal family. Besides, Stella-sama would be a good choice for the royal family.」

Lise suddenly said something like that, and Sam tilted his head.

「What are you talking about?」

「What?」

「My wife is Lise. The first one. That will never change.」

「――Sam.」

His gaze met Lise’s, who looked surprised.

Her eyes were moist with tears.

「Then will you tell me I’m number one?」

Her arms embrace Sam.

「I’ll teach you plenty.」

「Punish me for being jealous.」

「No, I’m going to reward you for being so adorably jealous.」

「Fufu.」

「Hahaha.」 ｂ𝚎ｄｎ𝚘ｖ𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

Sam and Lise laughed happily.

Naturally, the two of them became closer to each other, and they sought each other’s lips.

They kissed without end, and Sam pushed Lise’s body down on the bed.

As if to confirm their love, they strongly sought each other out.
