The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 123

Jealous Lise ①

Translated by AmaLynne

 

「Hee~ That’s great~」

 

The night the day Sam returned home from the royal palace.

Lise, dressed in a nightgown, was lying on his bed with her cheeks puffed out.

 

「No, uhh, it’s just the way things are…how should I put it?」

 

The reason Lise is acting this way is that Sam has a new fiancée, Princess Stella.

After meeting Stella and resolving the coiled relationship between her and the king, Sam became a favorite of both, and the engagement was quickly and easily arranged.

No matter whether he was a court wizard or the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, he could not stop them from getting into the swing of things.

 

Sam returned to the mansion and handed Jonathan a letter from the king.

The letter stated that he and Stella were engaged to be married, that Lise was to be his wife, and that they hoped to meet formally soon.

Jonathan, who had not expected Sam to return with the princess as his fiancée, was holding his stomach, wondering why this had happened just by going to the royal palace.

It seems that this engagement was solely the king’s decision, and he had not consulted Jonathan beforehand.

 

And after Sam told him about it, Lise began to feel somewhat sullen.

Sam, who decided that he had put her in a bad mood, tried desperately to put her in a good mood, but he finally failed.

 

(――I can’t say this out loud, but Lise-sama who is jealous of me is cute too.)

 

As for the arranged marriage with Magnolia’s granddaughter, Hanae, Lise had also advised him to accept it properly, so he had thought that she, like a daughter of a noble family, was unconcerned about increasing the number of women in her life.

However, he was wrong.

It seems that she is not satisfied with the fact that Sam is having another fiancée without her knowledge.

 

(That’s right, isn’t it? Even Magnolia-sama’s granddaughter didn’t get married just because they had an arranged marriage, so it’s no wonder that Lise’s reaction was different.)

 

Right now, anyway, Sam’s priority is to restore Lise’s good mood.

If we don’t, we’ll end up having a lonely night.

We don’t want that.

Lately, Sam can’t sleep well without Lise’s warmth.

Lise is cute when she is jealous, but I wanted her to smile at the person she loves.

 

「Umm, Lise-sama…I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t get too mad at me.」

「I’m not angry at all.
Unlike me, she’s slender and delicate, and makes you want to protect her.
You seem concerned about her white hair, but she is so beautiful and divine.」

「Don’t be so sulky.」

「I’m not sulking.」

「I apologize for the fact that I have been engaged to someone else for some time now, but how could I have avoided the king’s order?」

「I don’t know~」

 

Resisting the urge to poke Lise’s puffy cheeks, Sam desperately makes sweet noises.

 

「Besides, the only wife I have is Lise-sama.
She’s the sweetest wife I’ve ever had, the one I want to protect.」

「E-Even if you say that…ahh geez!」

 

Sam tried his best to put her in a good mood, but she threw a pillow at him.

The pillow hit Sam’s face with a light thud.

Still unfazed, Sam held Lise’s hand and whispered his love to her.

 

「I love you, Lise.
Please don’t hate me.」

「I don’t particularly dislike it.
I don’t hate you.
But…」

「But?」

「I’m your fiancee, can’t I at least be a little jealous?」

「――Of course! Jealous Lise-sama is cute too, so please be jealous more and more!」

「I don’t know about that reaction either…hmmm.
Am I that cute when I’m jealous?」

「Oh, shoot, there goes my heart!」

 

Sam prepared himself to be scolded, but Lise began to hold her cheeks.

 

「Hee~ I’m cute.
I see~」

「Um, Lise-sama?」

「I’m not an easy woman to put in a good mood just because someone says I’m cute.
I just think it’s not very mature of me, so I’ll let you off the hook this time.」

「Thank you.」

「But…」

 

Lise rests her head on Sam’s chest and leans in.

 

「Even though I know I shouldn’t, I might get jealous like I did today.
I’m surprised how jealous I can be.
I’m surprised at myself.」

「Lise-sama is cute and I like it when she gets jealous.」

「Geez!」

 

Sam hugs her and whispers in her ear, and Lise’s face turns red.

Her reaction is lovely, and Sam kisses her forehead.

Continue kissing her cheeks, then her neck.

 

「――nn.」

 

Lise wriggles ticklishly, but she also wants Sam.

The two naturally put their lips on top of each other’s and love grows between them.

After a few moments of sweetness, the two were satisfied and parted their lips.

They were a little sad to leave, but they had more to talk about, so they decided to hold it off for now.

 

「But I didn’t know that Stella-sama was that distressed.
She was indeed concerned about her gray hair, but…」

「So Lise-sama knew about it, too.」

「Yes.
I’ve heard some people say bad things about her.
I hate to say it, but every noblewoman has heard it at least once.」

「She must be very famous.」

 

Sam is disgusted by the nobles who gossip that Stella is a child of iniquity simply because she has gray hair.

Lise recalls the past and looks bitter.

 

「It’s a bit of an unpleasant excitement, especially that Rachel.」

「The Second Princess?」

「Yes, she’s the one who’s been spreading rumors.」

「I didn’t know sisters could do that.」

 

(Women are so scary.
Ah, but as I recall, Rachel-sama said something unnecessary, so Stella-sama started being a shut-in.
Oh, no, no, no…)

 

「Maybe it’s because they have different mothers.」

「Perhaps they don’t get along just because they’re half-siblings?」

「As far as I know, Rachel-sama hates Stella-sama unilaterally.
Maybe it’s because Stella’s mother, the first queen, and Rachel’s mother, the second queen, are not good friends.」

「Wow, that’s a typical royalty thing.」

 

This and that between the women makes Sam fed up.

Stella didn’t seem to dislike Rachel, so maybe it was Rachel’s one-sided feeling, but it wasn’t very pleasant to talk about.

 

「I guess it’s not a very pleasant story.
Also, I heard that she doesn’t like the fact that His Majesty the King cares most about Stella-sama.」

「You know her well, don’t you?」

「Now aside, I used to be in social circles, so I hear this much even if I don’t like it.
Whenever women get together, they always talk bad about someone.」

「Wow.」

 

Lise, such as she was, also looked fed up.

It is in her nature not to speak ill of anyone or to listen to anyone speak ill of her.

 

「But I think it’s a good decision that Your Majesty entrusted Stella-sama to Sam.」

「Eh? Is that so?」

「I heard that many men have bad thoughts about Stella-sama because of her beautiful figure, aside from those who say bad things about her.」

「I heard that from the king himself.」

「Not to mention the aristocrats who are against her father, many people want Stella-sama among the knight aristocrats.」

「Well, she was certainly quite beautiful.」

 

The snow-white hair and skin.

The body is thin and slender.

The face, while neat and tidy, is somehow suggestive of the desire for protection.

It’s true, men would flock to her.

 

「――Fuu~nn…」

 

As Sam thought of Stella and nodded his head in approval, a still gaze stung him from within his arms.

 

「Ah.」

 

Lise’s cheeks were puffed out again as Sam honestly praised Stella as a beautiful woman.
