Becoming a magician in another world

Chapter 232 "I met Mr. Luche." 1

Someone was waiting for Sam in front of the fountain in the palace courtyard.

Wearing a cardigan over her sky blue dress, was a girl a little older than Sam.

Sam walked up to her and called her name.

"——Mr. Lucie Riddell"

"...Mr. Samuel"

I hadn’t seen the face of the young girl she turned back since the Mannion attack a few days ago.

I have escaped from Mannion before. Although he and his father looked exhausted, they seemed to have regained their composure now.

Now, together with Viscount Riddell who is under the protection of the palace, I heard that I would return to the Viscount's territory in a few days.

Fortunately, the Viscount's family, who had escaped late, were safe and sound.

I heard that his wife and other daughters who had escaped with him were scattered, but were protected in other towns and territories, and now all of them are in the palace.

Fortunately, Mannion's only targets were the girl who was once her fiancé and her father.

As a result, although Viscount Riddill's house was attacked, no casualties were caused.

Of course, since there were many casualties among the people in the territory, we cannot just let go and be happy for our own safety.

The victims' families will be paid from the confiscated personal property of the Rheinbach home and Yolanda's hometown business.

If it is not enough, not only the Viscount's family but also the Royal Palace will provide assistance.

Although the families whose money was taken away will not come back, the families of the victims must also live in the future.

Money is a must.

"long time no see."

"Thank you for taking the time to meet with me. And, that damn Manion? Thank you very much for defeating Rheinbach."

Sam wondered how to talk to Luce, who was bending over with her head bowed.

Even if he was a man like that, Mannion was her ex-fiancé. She should have some ideas.

"I was rude to you a few days ago. I don't know if I can forgive you. I'm very sorry. Please raise your head. I just did what I should do. It must be hard for you too. My former fiancé did such a thing."

"I don't want to be a fiancée. I've always hated men like that."

“…I see.”

There was obvious disgust and hatred in the eyes of the girl who raised her head.

"It's not uncommon to use marriage to deepen family ties. I'm ready to get married for the sake of my family and my people. But that man is the only one I hate."

In response to Luche's words, who obviously disliked Mannion, he was troubled about what expression to make.

It seems that Mannion was disliked by Luche before the attack.

"That lazy and incompetent man didn't think he could manage the territory. In fact, he expanded his foolish delusions with short-term thinking, and the result was this."

"That's right. Mannion is not someone who can become a noble and inherit a territory."

Carius was also wondering whether the next head of the family would be decided based on the sword's talent alone, but he still couldn't understand it.

The lord does not require a sword. Of course, sometimes he will wield a sword to protect his territory and people, but first he needs the ability to manage his territory.

To do this, a lot of effort is required, such as learning and understanding the territory.

In this sense, someone with a talent for swordsmanship would become lazy, and as a result, he couldn't even wield a sword, let alone learn. It was only natural that the incompetent Mannion was removed from his position as the next lord.

Considering his personality and thoughts, as well as the existence of his mother, he can't operate a minimum territory.

"I, was planning to marry you for the first time."

"It seems so."

"My real intention is to marry you."

“…I see.”

Luche looked directly at Sam with moist eyes.

"Do you remember? The day we first met. ... I have admired you ever since that day."
