Becoming a magician in another world

Chapter 40 "At that time, at Baron Rheinbach's house (Daphne's point of view)" 2

Derek looked around the lounge and after confirming that Daphne was alone, he walked into the room with a sigh of relief.

“What happened? That brat and brat got mad again?”

"No...no, it'll cause tempers sooner or later, but for now it's okay."

"What do you mean?"

I no longer wanted to hide my disgust for Manion and Yolanda.

In the past five years, they have both become really ugly.

Manion was said to be a genius with a talent for swordsmanship, but he was as fat as a lie and didn't even exercise.

Yolanda became even more annoyed by her son's spoiled and arrogant attitude.

Old timers Daphne and Derek had long since exhausted their feelings for those two.

As the head of the family, Kalius also took a minimal approach to leaving these two people alone.

"Daphne knows that her husband has a lover, right?"

"Of course. My husband doesn't seem to want to hide it."

He nodded at Derek's question.

Carius had a young lover in town.

Unlike the hot-tempered Yolanda, she is calm and steady, a woman who has a vaguely similar aura to her late ex-wife Melanie, whom Daphne and the others now admire.

"Indeed, there is a child. And, it is a boy, right?"

"Yeah, the boy who's almost eight. Actually, I have something to say about that."

"...I just have a bad feeling."

Daphne's words made Derek smile bitterly.

In other words, there will be a bad feeling.

"You know your husband is immersed in his lover's house, right?"

“Of course. Thanks to you, my stinky wife is in a bad mood, which is really unbearable.”

Carius found time to go to his lover's house.

It seems that he has lost his feelings for his bad-tempered wife and his talented but lazy son, and his blood is boiling for his lover and the son he had during his time.

"In fact, I heard that the lover woman had a second child."

"......Um"

"My husband said that he wanted to use this as an opportunity to officially welcome her into the mansion as a concubine."

"That's... the stinky wife and the stinky boy seem very angry."

Yolanda and Manion cannot stand it unless they are the best, nor will they recognize their lovers and children as family.

Sam, the son from his previous marriage and the eldest son, has the same attitude.

It's horrifying just to think about what will happen to my lover and that child.

"If that's all, it's fine."

"…Anything else?"

"I heard that the lover's son, although not as lucky as Lord Manion, has a talent for swords. Moreover, he is like a frank and hardworking boy."

"It seems very different from that brat."

“Yeah. But, because of that, a problem occurred.”

"what?"

"I heard that my husband considers that son to be the next head of the family."

"—"

Daphne doubted her ears.

I never expected that my master would think of that kind of thing behind the scenes.

But although I was surprised, I didn't want to object.

"But isn't it better than that brat?"

"Although we servants shouldn't say such things, it seems that the son is doing very well compared to Mr. Manion."

"Isn't that a problem? This house has a precedent of removing the eldest son from the succession. Even if that brat is removed by the next head of the family, no one will complain. Rather, if the lover's child is a good child, they should be happy."

Manion, who was originally a problem child, grew into an uncontrollable bad boy in these five years.

It was not uncommon for him to lose his temper and raise his hands at servants and people in the town.

At first, there were young men who were close to the Baron's heir, Manion, but they could not keep up and have now left.

I certainly had no friends, and no one told me that what I said or did was wrong.

Even the advice from the servants and the townspeople did not reach him, and Manion, who grew up accepting only the slanderous words of his mother, became older and older.

Lately, I've been turning my hateful gazes towards women a lot, so I don't really care.

Daphne also received unpleasant looks from being licked multiple times.

The reason why he didn't take direct action was because his mother was keeping a close eye on him.

Manion, who has a fiancé, looks bad when he attacks anyone other than his fiancé.

If it was a noble, it might not be surprising, but if a minor like Manion did that, he might lose his credibility.

Moreover, Yolanda also took action against servants and street girls, and was worried that having a child would be a big deal, so she kept an excessive eye on them.

In this sense, women should be grateful for Yolanda's existence.

“I hope you’ll just say that here.”

"…Anything else?"

"Although I have discussed this with my husband, he seems to be wondering if he can welcome his lover as his principal wife, rather than a concubine."

"That is"

According to Derek, Yolanda, the principal wife, would object, but placing the lover in the concubine's position was a matter of decision.

But if possible, Carius wanted to pull his hysterical wife down from her seat as the principal wife and put his lover in her place.

Since Manion was removed from the line of succession, the wife seemed to want to become the mother of the heir.

Daphne laughed internally.

When I thought of the father and son, led by the servants, who treated young Sam too harshly, and saw the painful looks in their eyes, I couldn't wait to see that day come.

"Isn't it great? If I can see the father and son who abused Sam degenerate, it doesn't matter if my lover becomes the principal wife. No, in the final analysis, in my mind, only the late Melanie is the lady, so I am not interested in who becomes the queen."

"Daphne and Miss Melanie are friends."

"Yeah, it's a pity for me, friend."

Although I simply think Sam is cute, because it is a forgotten souvenir of a friend, even the deceased friend has poured love into it.

The father and son who abused Sam would laugh at the thought of falling from their current position.

"——I hope that I can be eliminated from the line of succession as soon as possible and kicked out of the mansion along with my stinky wife."

Daphne smiled, looking forward to the future that would arrive sooner or later.
