After talking with Jonathan, Sam went to Lise''s room.


    He walks down the hallway, thinking about what he can do to cheer her up.


    "Do I make a quick change of pace with a hand-to-hand combat, or do I go out into the castle town at night ...... and have a drink with her if she''s an adult, but she''s still a minor."


    As for drinking and smoking, you can drink and smoke at the age of fifteen, but the area is really lax.


    A child of Sam''s age can drink or smoke without being caught by the military police, who will just say, "Hey, hey, stop it!


    Furthermore, they will not be arrested for walking around the town in the middle of the night.


    It is a rough world, but it is not as safe as in prehistoric Japan, so you are really on your own.


    There are criminals in this world as there are criminals in Japan.


    From bandits, pirates, and righteous pirates to murderers, thieves, and even adventurers who try to exploit the weak, there are many.


    If a child has been drinking, some adults will get involved with the child for being cheeky.


    In fact, during my adventures with Ur, adults once surrounded Sam when he showed up at a bar to gather information.


    Of course, there was no way Sam could be defeated by a common adventurer, so he fought them back.


    After that, he said, "You have a lot of nerve to pick a fight with my little apprentice! I hope they are doing well.


    "I have an idea of what would please Lise-sama ......, but I''m not sure if it''s appropriate right now."


    In the end, Sam couldn''t think of anything he could do for Lise, so he stopped and began to groan.


    "Excuse me, Mr. Sam?"


    "Yes?"


    I heard a voice calling Sam''s name, and when I turned around, a familiar maid came running up to me with a flurry of footsteps.


    "Is something wrong, Miss Marie?"


    The maid, a redhead with a ponytail, was a charming-looking woman of about twenty.


    She was also in charge of making the bed and cleaning Sam''s room, and we were close enough to have a casual conversation whenever we saw each other.


    She was the one who treated Sam more politely than anyone else as a member of the family when he suddenly became a nuisance at the Countess Walker''s house.


    It is not her imagination that Marie looks so pale.


    "Is something wrong?　You don''t mean Lise-sama?"


    No, sir. It''s not about you, miss. Actually, I received a letter for Mr. Sam.


    "A letter from Lady Stella?"


    No, I mean...


    "Daphne hasn''t come yet, has she? I just sent a letter, so I don''t think they have received it yet."


    It is rare for me to receive a letter from someone other than Stella.


    Günther sometimes sends me poems of his own composition, but he reads them out loud in front of me, so I would not bother to give them to the maid.


    "I am sorry to tell you this, but Julien Michel''s messenger asked me to give it to Master Sam."


    "--what?"


    "I was told not to let the Master or the Lady know that I received a letter."


    I never thought I would hear a name I never wanted to hear again.


    And what kind of a plan was it to send me a letter?


    "Okay, thank you."


    When he receives a letter from Marie, he opens it roughly.


    "-Say what you want."


    The contents of the letter were extremely unpleasant.


    To sum it up roughly, <


    （I should have killed her when we met in the daytime.)


    It is also annoying that he treats Lise so disrespectfully and treats her like property, but he adds, "I''ll be waiting for you tonight on the outskirts of King''s Landing. Let''s talk about Liese.


    （I know I should ignore it, but I can''t. Even though I know it in my head, my heart is telling me to meet him. I can''t ignore it.)


    Even though I know it''s a cheap provocation, I can''t help but get on board.


    Remembering my conversation with Jonathan, it is best to ignore it.


    But there was no way I could ignore him when he treated Liese as his property.


    "Excuse me, Mr. Sam. This may be none of your business, but I think you should talk to your husband or your daughter about this. I''ve heard nothing but good things about the Michels. If they do something to you when you call them, it will be a big problem.


    "...... okay. It says we just want to talk, that''s all."


    "But ...... I know I shouldn''t be saying this to a servant, but there is no one in this house who feels good about the Michels who made Lise unhappy. Moreover, Mr. Julien, the one who did it, has summoned us. It is inconceivable that nothing will be done.


    (I agree.)


    Sam is no fool.


    He does not think that after being provoked so much, he will really end up just talking to them.


    But if he says it out loud, Marie will tell Jonathan or Lise about it.


    So Sam tries to act like it''s nothing.


    "Don''t worry. They''re not stupid, they''ll come back after a short talk.


    "But..."


    "So please don''t tell Master and Lise. I don''t want them to worry."


    But...


    I''ll be fine.


    Sorry for Marie''s concern, but ignoring her pleas, Sam decided to answer the call.
