Chapter 81: Lise Thoughts ①Chapter 81: Lise Thoughts ①
Translated by AmaLynne
「Hello, Fran.」
「Yes. Long time no see, Lise.」
In her room at Count Walker’s house, Lise was having tea across the table from Fran.
「When was the last time you saw me like this?」
「I haven’t seen Lise since she got married. I’m sorry about your marriage. I am ashamed that I once gave you my blessing, that such a man was your husband.」
「―――It’s over. Not long ago, I was dragging my marriage down, but not anymore.」
Lise had once been blocked up by an unhappy marriage, but now she was able to talk about it matter-of-factly as if it were in the past.
Fran was relieved to hear that.
「I wonder if it’s thanks to Sam-kun?」

「Just like my father.」
「I imagine Delight-sama is training Sam right now.」
「My father had been in a state of anxiety all morning because Sam and Albert’s duel had been made official. He was also looking forward to Sam’s arrival. He had always refused to use magic, but I guess he was a wizard after all.」
A happy smile appeared on Fran’s face as she thought of her father.
「You look happy. I haven’t seen you make a face like that in a long time.」
「I’ve never been so happy. Father is back, who was so devoted to magic.」
Fran looks really happy.
Lise was honestly pleased with the change in her friend.
In the past, Fran had been busy supporting her father, who had lost his position as court wizard and the most powerful man in the kingdom.
It can be said that she could not afford it.
Lise wanted to help such a friend, but there was not much she could do to help.
In the last few years, she had almost become estranged from her friend because she herself had been through a difficult time with an unhappy marriage, but Sam had given her the opportunity to see her again in this way.
「And you, too.」
「Me?」
「I didn’t come to see you until now because I had to take care of my father. I just didn’t know what to look at Lise like after what she went through.」
「……I’m sorry you had to.」
「I know I’m not a good friend. If Lise was in pain, I wanted to comfort and support her as her best friend… but I couldn’t. I’m sorry.」
「It doesn’t matter.」
Lise was happy enough with Fran’s feelings.
Besides, even if they had met face to face, which had been difficult for both of them, it might not have ended well.
Then let’s be thankful that they can laugh together like this now.
「Sam-kun told me about Lise. When I found out that Lise was training Sam with the sword again, I knew I had to meet you.」
「How do you like it?」
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm「You’re much nicer than the Lise I’ve ever known.」
「Fufu. Thank you.」
「A woman in love is a beautiful thing.」
「―――!!, what are you talking about all of a sudden!」
Lise’s face turns bright red and she panics at the unexpected words.
Seeing her reaction, Fran’s smile deepens as if she is convinced of something.
「It’s not like that, Sam is like my little brother.」
「It’s okay. We are not friends. I’m not going to tell anyone.」
「…………」
「You’re at least a little aware of the opposite sex, aren’t you?」
「What makes you say that?」
Lise asked, and Fran laughed.
Her dear friend apparently doesn’t realize how much she likes the boy.
「Because Lise seems so happy when she talks about Sam-kun.」
Lise looked surprised at Fran’s point.
Then, after a moment, she gave a small nod as if in contemplation.
