Becoming a magician in another world

"...Yeah. I confessed because it's Franc, but I'm attracted to Sam. However, I don't want to nurture this feeling anymore, so I plan to keep it hidden."

"Eh? Why?"

Although Liz admitted that she missed Sam, her expression was a little gloomy.

Fran couldn't help but express his doubts.

"You can understand it without me saying it. Sam and I are older, and... I was married once."

"I don't think Sam-kun would care about that kind of thing."

"That kid is very kind, so maybe he won't care, but I will."

Most importantly, Liz continued.

"Sam truly loved Sister Ur. Even after his death, his feelings for Sister Ur will not disappear."

Everyone knows, not just Lise, that Sam misses Ur.

It sounds like the two are in love with each other.

Confirming that feeling was the final moment, and although it was so painful, there was no doubt that the two were in love.

I don't think his strong feelings for his sister will go away, nor do I want him to.

"Oh, is it necessary to care about that?"

"Eh?"

"I also know that Mr. Sam loves Mr. Uhl. After all that's been said, woo-woo-woo, woo-woo, I would have noticed his mood if I wasn't such a slow person. But what's the matter?"

"......"

"Can't you have other lovers for the one you love?"

"...That won't do."

"Of course, maybe I can't love someone with a family, but Sam is single. He will get married sooner or later. Even if he can't meet someone better than Mr. Wuerl, there may be someone who loves him just as much."

"Maybe"

"So you're welcome."

Fran said so explicitly.

"Fran, you"

"If Sam becomes a court magician, he will get married even if he hates it. Since he is obliged to shed blood, it is inevitable anyway. At that time, it is better to let the person who loves him love him as much as he wants instead of marrying someone."

Fran was right.

If Sam becomes the court magician sooner or later, obligations will also arise.

The most important thing is to leave blood.

Magicians are rare.

The children of an excellent magician may not necessarily become magicians, but it is not impossible.

If that were the case, the magicians who were chosen as court magicians would naturally look forward to it.

Although not all court magicians have children, there is no doubt that the country and the people want an heir.

In that case, political marriages would not be uncommon.

There is no need to consider that the faction to which he belongs, the nobles who serve as support, etc. send their children here in order to strengthen the relationship with the court magician.

Liz didn't want Sam to get married like that.

Although he is no longer in love with Ur, he hopes to have a loving marriage and build a warm family.

It was precisely because Lizé was unlucky in marriage that she thought about it more.

"...That Fran, it seems like he cares about Sam, too?"

"Yes. I'm grateful just for getting my father back on his feet, but he protected me from Albert. This duel is also my chance. This way there won't be any unconscious women."

"......never mind"

Liz had intended to return the favor, but Fran simply admitted her feelings.

Fran, with her slightly red cheeks, is also cute in the eyes of her peers.

Sam must have thought the same thing when he saw her face now.

When I thought about it, my heart started twitching a little.

"Hey, Liz. We can't have a relationship like Sam and Mr. Ur's. But I think we have a way of being Sam-kun that only we can do."

"——Yes, that's right."

"Lize and I both just met with Sam, so there shouldn't be anything we can do now. But, even though I don't hate it, I don't want to hide my feelings."

After hearing what Fran said, Liz thought of Sam.

A young, gentle boy with excellent magic skills.

I just found out a few days ago that he is cheerful, energetic, and polite, but a little arrogant and quick to argue.

Training with him was very enjoyable. He seemed to steal my techniques like soaking up water with cotton. It was a pleasure to be a swordsman and a master.

I looked forward to the time I spent with him every day.

It hurts just to imagine Sam being happy with someone other than himself.

Perhaps the feeling has not yet grown to the point where it can be called love.

Come to think of it, I don’t know if I am qualified to love him.

However, Liz felt that it would be too lonely to give up the longing for him in her heart.

"Sam is still a minor, there's still time. Let's not regret it."

"...I don't want to regret it. Thank you, Fran. Thanks to you, I can face my feelings."

“Hehehe, I guess there are more competitors. But I hope Liz can be happy too – come on.”

Encouraged by her friend, Liz nodded frankly.
