Chapter 68: Arrived at the Sinatras\' Household ②

Translated by AmaLynne

As they walked through the mansion, Sam noticed the remnants of the time when the wizard’s discipline there remained in many places.

The training hall in the garden, the library with its large collection of magic books, and the dining room must have once been bustling with activity.

It was deeply moving to think that this was where Ur had learned magic.

「It was here that Ur learned magic from Delight-sama, wasn’t it?」

「Yes, she is my sister-disciple. She learned magic from my father and must have enjoyed it very much. From early in the morning until late at night, she was absorbed in learning magic. And she grows up to be a wizard, even a court wizard. But by then, my father was already…」

「Albert Frege took the most powerful position and he was forced out of his position as court wizard.」

What did Ur, who became a court wizard, think at that time?

「Don’t get him wrong. He had indeed lost his position as the most powerful, but he had voluntarily resigned his position as a court wizard.」

「Was that so?」

「It sounds good to say that he resigned himself, but in reality, he must have been very bitter about his defeat in front of the king. He was a proud man, so he was ashamed of himself and resigned, saying he could no longer be a court wizard.」

「So he did that himself.」

Sam can’t help but sympathize.

.

Anyone who has risen to the rank of court wizard must have had a certain amount of confidence in his or her magic.

And then it was shattered.

And in front of the king.

Sam can only speculate, but he can imagine how frustrated he must have been.

「Thankfully, the King and the other court wizards held him back… but I guess he couldn’t stand the thought of being a court wizard with a man who had beat him.」

From what Sam hear, Count Walker was among those who persuaded him not to abandon his position as a court wizard.

And, of course, Ur.

「I wish Albert Frege had been a man of character, but he was a coward and a lousy man whose hobby was to bully the weak. My father couldn’t accept the fact that he lost to such a man. I’m sure I’d be in the same boat.」

「You know Albert Frege?」

At Sam’s question, Fran answered with a scowl.

「Know or not, sometimes he comes all the way to the mansion just to make fun of my father. In fact, he even asked me to become his woman… I wonder how much he needs to make fun of us.」

「Oh, my God.」

It seems that not all court wizards are like Ur.

As far as Sam can tell, Albert Frege is a scum, no doubt about it.

It was okay for him to take the title of the strongest because he had officially fought for it, but it was unforgivable when he mock the house afterward and made fun of Frans and her friends.

「I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have talked to you.」

「I’m sorry too.」

「It’s okay. But be careful. Don’t mention Albert’s name in front of my father. He will be furious if he hears it.」

「Okay.」

Fran warned him and Sam nodded.

No one wants to have their old wounds gouged out.

Sam understands that some things shouldn’t be touched.

Their conversation stopped, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed through the spacious house.

After walking for a while, Fran’s footsteps stopped.

「My father is in this room. I hope he hasn’t been drinking.」

Fran knocked on the door of the room.

But there was no answer.

She didn’t care, she called through the door.

「Father, you have a visitor. Samuel Scheidt, Ulrike-sama’s disciples, is here.」

「…………ah.」

A low, gruff voice came back from inside the room.

Fran looks slightly annoyed, but puts her hand on the doorknob.

「Come in.」

「Excuse me.」

Sam stepped into Delight Sinatra’s private office.
