The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest-Chapter 151: Worried About Lise

Translated by AmaLynne

“Sam. Did something happen to Lise? I don’t think so, have you and her fought…no, I don’t think so.”

After dinner, Lise, her face still gloomy, went back to her room by herself.

Normally, Lise would spend most of the time in Sam’s room chatting or having tea with her sisters and Hanae, but perhaps because of her unwanted reunion with her ex-husband during the day, she was acting strangely.

Jonathan and the others had noticed such a change in their daughter.

Sam was summoned to Jonathan’s room and asked to tell him about the day’s events.

“I met Lise’s ex-husband, Julian Michel, in the town.”

He reported the situation as he stood across the office desk.

He didn’t feel comfortable talking without Lise’s permission, but he couldn’t keep quiet to Jonathan, who was worried about his daughter.

About meeting Julien in the city.

That he treated her in a familiar manner, which made Lise feel uncomfortable.

He told her without hesitation that he was going to make Mizuki his wife and warned her not to say anything unnecessary.

“I see. Maybe that’s why…”

“I’m sorry. I was with her, and he said whatever he wanted.”

“Sam is not the one to apologize. He always behaves that way. At first glance, he seems like a nice young man, but inside he’s…”

“I almost beat him up. No, I regret that I should have.”

“I know how you feel. But thank God you didn’t touch him.”

Sam sat down when Jonathan urged him to sit on the sofa.

His father-in-law also sat on the other side of the table.

“The Walkers and the Michels used to be close friends. The previous head of the family was a very accomplished man. Because of that connection, Lise and Julian were once married, but you know how that turned out. If the previous head of the family had lived, that would not have happened.”

Jonathan sighs bitterly.

“The previous head of the family, you say?”

“I don’t think Sam knows this, but the previous head of the Michel family, Mendes-sama, was a wonderful man. He was well remembered by His Majesty the King and was an excellent swordsman.”

“I didn’t know there was such a man.”

“When the Sword Saint Amemiya Kurando-dono came to the continent from his country, he was one of the first to recognize his talent and ability and to assist him.”

“Heh.”

(I don’t think so, but is that why they made Julian a candidate for successor to the Sword Saint? No, that’s overthinking it.)

Inwardly, he had a thought in his mind, but he did not say it out loud.

.

Honestly, he didn’t care if Julian became a sword saint or not.

Considering Mizuki and Kotomi, they would not want a man like that to be their father’s successor, but what is important to Sam now is Lise.

“But his grandson is a rogue. I thought Lise had finally recovered thanks to meeting Sam, too. The fact that she was once married to a man like that doesn’t go away. I’m sorry, but please look out for Lise.”

“Of course. I will visit her room later. And now, it seems that Hanae-sama is with her.”

After dinner, Sam confirmed that Hanae had followed Lise back to her room.

They have been playing hand-to-hand every day, and they get along well.

The chemistry between the fast-paced Hualien and the caring Lise is so good that sometimes Sam is even jealous of Hualien.

Therefore, he believes that Hanae is still a good companion for Lise.

“Well, about Hanae-dono. It would be rude to call it unexpected, but I’m glad that Lise and Hanae-dono are getting along so well.”

“Me too.”

Lise was jealous of Stella, but she did not show much jealousy toward Hanae.

Perhaps it was because they were only arranged marriages and not engaged, or perhaps she felt as if she had one more younger sister to take care of.

“Regardless of what Sam and Hanae-dono are going to do in the future, as a father, I would like to thank you for having someone other than us who cares about Lise.”

“I understand your feelings. I am also grateful to Hanae-sama.”

“But, Julien, no way. I never thought he was planning to marry Mizuki-dono.”

Jonathan spat out hatefully.

Sam agrees with him.

“I heard that after he divorced Lise-sama, he divorced the woman he was with again. I don’t know how he can keep making one move after another.”

After Julian divorced Lise, he married and divorced another woman.

And on top of that, he is trying to get his hands on Mizuki, which is nothing short of bold.

If he still had feelings for Mizuki, it might be somewhat passable, but Julian clearly said that he did not like her, but he wanted to become a Sword Saint.

As a fellow man, this is extremely unpleasant.

“I have kept my distance from that family for the past two years, but I have heard bad rumors about them. Julien has his problems, but the mother of the head of the family, Misery Michel, is also a flawed person. I know that it was Misery, rather than Julian, who drove Lise into a corner.”

“I see. They are not a good family.”

“I know it was Misery who drove Lise away. The only regret is that we belong to the same faction, so we can not antagonize each other. We are taking the form of protesting by cutting ties and ignoring them, but I wonder how effective this will be.”

Let’s leave them alone. I’m not going to see him anymore. Mizuki-sama has no intention of marrying that man.”

In fact, Mizuki did not intend to marry Julian, but rather seemed to be annoyed by him.

As a matter before that, why would Mizuki, who is Lise’s friend and knows to some extent what led to the divorce, would think that she would marry Yulian?

“But he is a candidate to succeed the Sword Saint. You can’t say he won’t be involved at all.”

“He may be…”

“But why is Julian a candidate to succeed the Swordsman?”

“Sir?”

“No, I had heard that he could play with a sword a little, but I didn’t think he was good enough to succeed in the position of Sword Saint.”

What Jonathan questioned was also said by Lise.

And he recalled that when talking with Mizuki, she had declared him “weak”.

Sam also did not get the vibe of a swordsman accustomed to combat from Julian’s behavior.

“In my opinion, he’s incompetent.”

“If Sam says so, then he must be right. Well, never mind. Sam may not like it, but if he gets involved again, just ignore him. He’ll get on your nerves. It’s best not to get involved with that house.”

“I understand. I’ll try to do that.”

“I’m sorry. As a father myself, I feel sorry, but nobility has its ties.”

“I understand.”

“Thank you.”

“No, well, I think it’s time to visit Lise.”

He realized that he had spent quite a bit of time with Jonathan.

Not knowing what happened with Lise and Hanae, Sam wanted to show up soon too.

“Oh, I’m sorry I held you up. Take care of my daughter.”

“――Yes.”

Sam thanked Jonathan, got up, and went to Lise’s room.𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝
