Chapter 85: Taking the Most Powerful Seat in the Kingdom ①Chapter 85: Taking the Most Powerful Seat in the Kingdom ①
Translated by AmaLynne
While everyone was speechless, Sam quietly kneeled in front of the king. King Clyde, stunned, came to himself.
「Referee!」
「Y-Yes! Winner! Samuel Scheidt!」
There were no cheers as Ludo called Sam’s name and proclaimed Sam’s victory from the ring.
No one could accept the fact that a boy of only 14 years old had instantly killed the kingdom’s most powerful wizard.
The same was true for Count Walker and the Sinatra family, who were watching on.
「―――I never thought he would kill Albert in an instant……I doubted my own eyes. But I ask you, Samuel.」
「Yes.」
「Was it necessary to kill Albert?」
「He was not a man to be trifled with.」

He was not someone Sam could take it easy on or show mercy to.
At Sam’s reply, the king looked at him with difficult eyes, but nodded his head in understanding.
「I see, then I don’t mind. Samuel Scheidt.」
「Yes.」
「From this day forward, you are the most powerful wizard in the Skye Kingdom.」
「Thank you.」
「And the position of second court wizard, or rather the third seat where Ulrike Scheidt-Walker used to be, is yours.」
「Your concern is greatly appreciated.」
Sam thanked the king for his consideration.
As Ur’s successor, he was grateful to be entrusted with the third seat of the Court Wizards, where Ur had been.
He wanted the court wizard and the most powerful seat in the kingdom, but he did not want to take Albert’s place.
「From this moment on, I want you to serve this kingdom.」
「Of course. I will use my magic for the good of this country.」
「Good. Pleasure.」
Nodding his head in satisfaction, the king stood up, spread his hands wide, and announced loudly to the crowd.
「Hear me! All of you! Here is born the greatest young wizard of all! Praise them all!」
Applause and emotion welled up as the king’s words echoed through the crowd.
Looking over, everyone in the Count Walker family, as well as Sinatra and his son, said,「Well done!」, Sam could see that they were shouting.
Beside the king, Günther, who was escorting him, winked at Sam, which he ignored.
But Sam could see a few well-dressed people here and there among them, clapping and looking bitter.
Perhaps they are nobles who were Albert’s backers.
They must be not happy that the court magician they had been so close to is gone.
(Well, it seems that Albert was in a faction that was hostile to the Master, so what does it matter?)
He is not interested in the ties of nobility.
All Sam has to do is to use his position as court wizard and the most powerful man in the Skye Kingdom as a stepping stone to eventually become the most powerful man on the continent and the most powerful wizard in the world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm(―――Ur, I did it.)
Let’s visit the grave of our beloved mentor later.
To her, announce that you have become the most powerful wizard in the Skye Kingdom.
She will surely praise you for a job well done.
Or she might be appalled that you caused a dueling commotion.
Sam missed Ur greatly.
He bit his lip to hold back the tears of sadness that welled up in his chest.
He bit his lip and held on.
He decided to smile and move on.
「Samuel. You will be notified about your future at a later date. First of all, you should reassure those who have been worrying about you and cheering you on.」
「Thank you.」
「And…well done.」
「Eh?」
Sam reflexively looked up to see the king with a deep smile on his face.
What he meant by「well-done」to Sam, Sam did not know.
(Do I even need to know? How am I supposed to know what the king is thinking?)
As the king sat down in his chair, Sam stood up, bowed, and ran to his beloved family.
