Chapter 157
Fighting Julian ④
Translated by AmaLynne
“Haahh
what a mess. Julian, I had no idea he was planning to kill Sam. I don’t understand why he thought he could do it.”
Sam came home soaking wet and was in Jonathan’s office after Lise threw him in the bathroom.
Lise is also present here.
Both Jonathan and Lise’s faces clouded over when Sam explained all that had happened tonight.
Lise in particular looked bitter that her ex-husband had tried to kill her fiancé, and she was lying face down on the couch.
Jonathan sighed in dismay at Julian’s reckless behavior.
“Uhh, so. Sam, I’m glad you’re back safe and sound. But, what the hell, did you really do that to Julian?”
“Yes, I kicked him right in the groin!”
Jonathan held his stomach as Sam puffed out his chest as if he had just done a good thing.
Lise looked up and asked Sam,
“D-Did you really crush it?”
“It was just squishy. I just had the feeling it was crushed, but I didn’t feel much of a response, you know? I wonder why?”
Sam’s words made Jonathan sigh inwardly.
Lise had been looking gloomy, but now she frowned and sighed heavily.
“Uhh, are you gentlemen okay with being crushed like that?”
“How could they be? Even a small smack can make you faint in agony. That――Sam, what a horrible thing to do. It’s going to haunt my dreams.”
The father looked at his daughter, who didn’t quite understand what they were talking about.
Sam was on the side of crushing, so he’s fine, but he doesn’t want to be on the side of being crushed.
“I-I see.”
“As a man, I would not want to go through the same thing. So, did you kill Julian?”
“No, I didn’t take his life because I thought it would be troublesome if I killed him. Well, as a man, I wanted him to die.”
“I-I know you’re concerned, but I think that’s going to be a big problem if you crush his groin
well, whatever. He almost killed you, I guess he should be glad that he’s still alive.”
(Well, he would have suffered so much that he would have been better off dead, but he got what he deserved.)
“That man said Lise-sama was his property. Of course, I cannot forgive him for what he did to Lise-sama, but there must have been other victims. As the same man, I could not forgive him. He should suffer as much as possible.”
“Sam.”
“I am sorry for having been so selfish.”
Sam doesn’t regret it in the slightest, but he’s sorry that he caused Lise and Jonathan, and the others to worry as a result.
Sam just didn’t want to cause unnecessary grief to Lise, who was feeling down after meeting with Julian.
“There’s no need for Sam to apologize. Rather, you went out of your way to beat that man for me, didn’t you? Marie told me everything. It’s repulsive that that man
thought I was his woman.”
Sam can only imagine what Lise is going through as she looks bitter.
It is never pleasant to see an ex-husband who has tormented her so much and still thinks of her as his property.
“In my position, I have a lot to say to Sam, but as a father, let me say one thing――well done.”
Instead of blaming Sam, Jonathan smiled.
He, too, was unhappy with his daughter, and he must have had some thoughts for Julian.
Sam nodded in response to him.
“The Michels are going to make some noise, but I’ll take care of that. It all started when Julien tried to kill Sam.”
“I wish he had only tried to kill me, but he even went so far as to say that he would take Lise-sama, Stella-sama, and Hanae-sama as his concubines.”
“He is the worst kind of man. Why should we be his concubines?”
“Rather, we are thinking of protesting from our side for trying to kill Sam and rob Lise and her family. Of course, by making things bigger, we will let the other houses know that we are justified.”
If the world finds out that they killed Sam and tried to take away his fiancée, it is the Michel family that will be in danger.
Hanae is the granddaughter of the first seat of the court wizard, Murasaki Magnolia.
Stella is royalty.
No one would take Julian’s side if he attempted to touch them both.
If they took his side, they would be making enemies with both the royal family and the Murasaki family.
And even Sam, the most powerful wizard, would not remain silent.
“Just remembering it makes me angry. I knew I should have killed him.”
“Don’t say that, Sam. Killing someone like that will only make you less honorable. Just kill him as a man and leave it at that.”
“I know.”
Sam replied to Jonathan, standing beside Lise and making eye contact with her.
“I hope this will alleviate some of Lise-sama’s fears.”
“I don’t care about that man
I just feel bad for Sam.”
“For me? Why?”
“I couldn’t come on strong when I saw that man again. If that makes Sam think that I still have feelings for that man
”
Sam was surprised that Lise would think such a thing.
When a traumatized person appears in front of you, it’s no wonder you can’t behave as you would like.
He’s not a narrow-minded person who would blame them for that.
“I don’t think that way. Lise-sama is my precious person. I never have and I never will. I will never let her go.”
“――Thank you, Sam. You will always hold me close to you.”
Sam hug Lise to reassure her.
Her warmth is warm and comforting.
Just the scent of her hair reaching his nostrils makes him happy.
Sam is grateful to have such a wonderful woman by his side.
“Ah, what the heck. It’s fine that we get along so well, but in moderation.”
Jonathan laughed at them as they were about to kiss as it was.
Sam and Lise, realizing that they had done something immodest in front of their father, blushed and then laughed at each other.
