Chapter 17: The Earl is Jealous
“Ugh…”
Struck by the butler’s attack, Rest staggered forward and fell.
An instant strike at an unbelievable speed, almost like teleportation—it was the butler Dibble’s trump card magic, [High-Level Acceleration].
“Rest!”
“Rest-san!”
Seeing Rest fall, the Rosemary sisters let out distressing cries. They rushed to him to examine his condition.
“Hey, Dibble! Isn’t this going too far!?”
“Yeah! There’s no need to go this far!”
The sisters glared at the butler. Faced with their intense anger, the butler lowered his head without offering any excuses.
“…I apologize, young ladies.”
“Calm down, my daughters. What just happened was part of the mock battle. Don’t blame Dibble.”
“Father!”
“More importantly… attend to his injuries.”
“….”
The sisters, looking flustered, began treating Rest. The butler raised his head, expressing gratitude towards his master, Albert.
“I don’t mind. But… what did you see in him from your perspective?”
“…I believe my opinion aligns with yours, sir.”
In response to Albert’s question, the butler respectfully answered.
“That young man, Rest-dono, possesses the strength worthy of the Rosemary family’s support. I guarantee it.”
“I see, that’s right…”
Albert had thought the same. Rest, despite his age, displayed outstanding skills as a mage. While he might lack experience and knowledge, he would likely become a mage surpassing even Albert, the Head Mage of the Rosemary family.
“That young man will eventually become a great magician, leaving his mark in history… It might be worthwhile to consider him as a companion for one of my daughters or even bring him into the family.”
“…”
The butler whispered quietly, ensuring they couldn’t hear.
“That was also what you were thinking, right, sir? The Rosemary family has only two daughters and no sons. Eventually, one of the sisters will marry and inherit the family.”
As a father who deeply loved his daughters, Albert wished for them to choose their partners freely, regardless of social status. If possible, he preferred someone with exceptional magic talent and had provided opportunities for interaction with mages like Cedric and other boys of the same age.
(But this young man, Rest-kun, would be an excellent choice. However…)
Rest was strong. Though still rough around the edges, he would undoubtedly flourish as a mage with accumulated experience and learning. Asserting that he was undoubtedly someone to bring into the Marquis family.
But… despite these thoughts, there were parts that Albert found hard to accept.
“It’s okay, Rest. I’ll cast healing magic on you right away!”
“We’re here for you. It’s okay, Rest-san…!”
Viola and Primula.
Albert’s beloved daughters were offering unwavering support to the fallen Rest, nursing him devotedly. It was evident that both of them harbored affection for Rest.
(Marrying him to one of my daughters… well, that’s fine. But what if both of them end up falling for him…?)
Viola and Primula, despite having contrasting personalities, were close sisters. However, deep down, they both resembled Albert’s wife— In other words, they were stubborn and determined, unwilling to yield on matters they deemed important.
(Rest-kun, I acknowledge your talent. I’m grateful to you for helping my daughters, and I’ll write you a recommendation letter for the school entrance exam. However…!)
“…I never said I’ll give both of my daughters away!”
In the midst of the scene where the two daughters cared for Rest as if he were a beloved lover, the Rosemary Marquis uttered these words with tears streaming down his face.
