Chapter 26: Count Walker's Family

Translated by AmaLynne

Edited by AmaLynne

A week later, Sam was in front of the residence of the Walker family in the royal capital of the Sky Kingdom.

「So this is the house where Ur was born and raised.」

Carefully holding the corpse of his beloved master, Sam looked up at the house of Ur’s birth.

It was a mansion belonging to an

He could see a three-story mansion, flowerbeds filled with blooming flowers, and a fountain.

There was also a wall covering the mansion.

The Count’s house, visible from the gate of the mansion, was a blur compared to Sam’s parents’ house, the Reinbach Barons.

「The Reinbachs had a normal two-story house.」

The garden was large because it was in the countryside, but it wasn’t as glamorous as the count’s house.

He felt like he saw the difference between a country nobleman from the countryside and a city nobleman living in the royal capital.

「Anyway, I have to meet Ur’s family. Should I just knock?」

「Hey, you!」

As he wandered about the Count’s house, one of the soldiers who seemed to be the gatekeeper appeared and approached Sam.

「Who are you? Do you know that this is the residence of Count Walker!」

(Thank God. I’ll just have to ask this man to help me connect.)

Sam bowed lightly to the gatekeeper.

「I know. I am Samuel Scheidt, apprentice to Ulrike Scheidt Walker. I would like to meet with the head of the Walker family.」

「You think a child like you is Ulrike-sama apprentice?」

「Yes.」

「That person ran away five years ago and has not been seen since!」

「I’ve been with Ulrike-sama all this time.」

Sam already knew that Ur had left home without telling his family, to hide her illness and to find a successor.

But the gatekeeper had no way of knowing this and looked at Sam suspiciously.

「Then where is Ulrike-sama?」

「She’s dead.」

「―――Wha?」

「I took care of it. I have her body and a letter for her family.」

The gatekeeper’s gaze went to Sam’s arm.

Then he let out a shaky voice.

「N-No way, the one you’re holding.」

「It’s Ulrike-sama.」

「W-W-Wait! I’ll report to the head of the family! But the thing is, I don’t know if I can trust you. First of all, do you have any proof that you Ulrike-sama disciple?」

「The will left by Ulrike-sama, if you please.」

.

「All right. I’ll send it to the heads of the family for confirmation.」

「Please.」

Holding Ur’s corpse in his arms, Sam took the death note she had left from his pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper.

「Certainly. I also don’t know if you are really Ulrike-sama disciple. I hate to say it, but you might be a fraud talking about being his disciple. I’m sorry, but I have to detain you.」

「Of course. I will not resist. Go ahead.」

「Thank you for your cooperation. Now… we’ll take care of the body first.」

The gatekeeper tried to take care of Ur’s corpse, but Sam stepped back.

He wondered if he should give her away carelessly.

「I promise to treat her with respect. I’ve always been the gatekeeper of Count Walker’s household. I know Ulrike-sama well. But I didn’t expect her to pass away… I hope I’m wrong if I can help it.」

「I hope it’s a lie, too.」

Sam believed the gatekeeper and handed Ur over.

The weight of her was gone from his arms, and the feeling of loss hit him.

It felt like another reminder that he had really lost her.

「Wait for me. I’ll deliver the body and the death note first.」

「Yes.」

The gatekeeper went back inside the house and returned in a few minutes.

「Sorry to keep you waiting. Now I’m going to restrain you. Turn around.」

「Yes.」

Obeying the gatekeeper, Sam turned his back.

The shackles were placed on both wrists.

「But how do you enter the capital with the body in your hands? Didn’t the guards check?」

「I forced my way in.」

「―――Wha?」

「So, if what I’m saying is proven not to be a lie, please intercede with the guards who are after me.」

Sam did not want to expose Ur’s corpse carelessly.

But the guards protecting the capital would not allow it, and he had broken through by force.

By now, the guards would be bloodily searching for Sam, who had entered the Royal Capital without permission.

「You know what?」

The gatekeeper sighed in exasperation.

「I understand. I’ll inform the head of the family about that as well.」

「Thank you.」

「Let’s go.」

After being restrained, Sam was led by the gatekeeper into the grounds of Earl Walker’s house.
