The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 193: Sam and Alicia Are Now Engaged

Translated by AmaLynne

The day after hearing Alicia’s feelings from Lise, Sam, who was somewhat nervous, went to visit Alicia’s room.

“Sam-sama?”

When he knocked, Alicia, wearing a dress with a thin cardigan over it, peeked her head out of her room.

“I have something to discuss with you. Do you have a moment?”

“Of course. Please come in. Oh, but please don’t look around too much in my room. It’s not very tidy, and I’m quite embarrassed.”

“Excuse me.”

Once inside the room, Sam couldn’t help but glance around Alicia’s room.

Upon reflection, Sam realized that this was his first time visiting her room.

There were numerous stuffed animals on the bed and shelves, and books were scattered all around, but it wasn’t messy; everything was neatly arranged.

It was a room that reflected Alicia’s personality.

“Please, have a seat over here.”

Presumably set up for tea, there was a small table with two chairs.

Sam took a seat, and they faced each other across the table.

“So, um, what’s the matter?”

As Alicia inquired, Sam swallowed nervously.

He was indeed feeling quite nervous.

While Sam had previously been bound to Lise and engaged to Stella and the others, he often relied on momentum, emotions, and the flow of the moment.

Consequently, this was the first time he had to confront something directly.

(I don’t doubt Lise-sama, but if Alicia-sama doesn’t have any feelings for me or anything… I can’t even imagine it. Alright, I must face this head-on!)

“Well, I can’t say anything very clever, and I think it would be troublesome if I suddenly said something like this.”

“Yes, what is it? Please feel free to say anything.”

Sam took a deep breath and gathered his courage for the confession he was about to make.

“–Would you be my wife?”

“–Eh?”

?

Upon receiving Sam’s heartfelt confession, tears welled up in Alicia’s eyes.

“Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it like that!”

“…So no?”

“No, that’s not it! But, um, if I’ve offended you in any way, I apologize!”

Alicia suddenly burst into tears, leaving Sam in a state of panic.

However, observing Sam’s frantic reactions seemed to calm her down, and she took out a handkerchief and pressed it to her eyes.

“I’m sorry for crying all of a sudden… but I’m really happy.”

Hearing her say that she was happy, Sam breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he knew that Alicia didn’t dislike the idea.

“But why all of a sudden… Ah, did you hear this from Father?”

“Yes, well…”

The truth was, he had heard it through Lise, but he didn’t want to mention his sister’s involvement, as it might make Alicia feel unnecessarily obligated.

“So, you proposed to me because Father asked you to, right? But it’s not like I expected…”

“No, it’s not because someone asked me.”

“…You probably already know, so I won’t hide it. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart.”

Alicia, blushing, confessed her feelings after taking Sam’s words seriously. However, her joy was short-lived as her expression turned anxious.

“But I’ve never thought that we should be together against your will. I’d rather go to a convent than cause you any trouble.”

“Wait a moment. You’re not causing any trouble!”

“–Eh?”

Sam was taken aback when Alicia mentioned going to a convent.

He hadn’t expected her to think this far.

She was probably trying not to get in the way of his relationships with his other fiancées, and her excessive consideration touched him.

However, he couldn’t help but feel that she should be a bit more assertive.

“To be honest, when I first heard about your feelings, I was surprised. I never expected it. But I was happy.”

“Sam-sama.”

“I enjoy spending time with you and talking with you. When I see you talking passionately about books, I can’t help but smile. It pained me to hear that someone like you might be forced into a marriage you don’t want.”

Sam got up from his chair and knelt beside Alicia.

He took her hand and gently placed it over his.

“Knowing that you have feelings for me makes me happy. I’m very grateful.”

“Then, um, really, about me…”

“Yes, I’m serious about it.”

Seeing Alicia’s surprised reaction to his feelings, Sam smiled wryly.

“In reality, we should take more time for these things, but I heard that time is short, so I decided to take action.”

“Sam-sama, are you sure it’s me? Is it okay for me not to give up on you?”

“If it’s alright with you, even though I have four other fiancées, let’s be happy together.”

“Sam-sama!”

Alicia jumped into Sam’s chest.

With her momentum, Sam ended up falling over.

Alicia realized her awkward position and blushed, but she was too excited to care.

She held onto Sam tightly, and for the first time, she wore the biggest smile Sam had ever seen.

“Of course! I look forward to being with you, Sam-sama, for many years to come!”
