On the day he lost Ur, Sam cried until his tears ran dry, and then he found the death notes she had left behind.
.
One was addressed to himself, and the others seemed to be addressed to her family.
Sam read the death note she had left for herself.
「―――Ulrike?Scheidt?Walker.」
That, he learned, was Ur’s real name.
Ur Scheidt was her name when she was working as a wizard.
It was her so-called magic name.
Ur was the eldest daughter of Count Walker, who had a mansion in the royal capital of the Sky Kingdom.
When she found out that she was sick, she ran away without telling her family, according to her death note.
What was left in her will was her wish.
She wanted to have her corpse delivered to her family. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
Of course, Sam accepted her wish.
Another wish was for Sam to use Ur’s magical name,「Scheidt」, as the name of his family.
Without needing to be asked, Sam intended to do so.
There was no way he would throw away the name that his beloved had given him.
He’s been Samuel Scheidt since that day when he met her and she made him her apprentice.
And will always be.
The death note also contained information about Ur’s own past that he had never told Sam.
In addition to being the third seat of the court wizard of the Sky Kingdom, Sam learned various things about Ur’s past that he did not know.
「I didn’t know anything about Ur, did I?」
Ur didn’t talk about herself, but Sam didn’t ask either.
He was so happy every day that he took it for granted that he would spend more time with her, so he didn’t pay attention to her past.
He believed that one day she would tell him without him having to ask her.
But in reality, such a day never came, and he ended up learning about her from the death note she left behind.
If this was going to happen, he should have asked her.
He wanted to hear from Ur’s mouth who she was and what her life had been like.
All Sam could do was regret that he hadn’t been able to say a single word.
「Damn it, I’m crying again.」
Just the thought of Ur brought tears to his eyes that he thought had dried up.
He misses Ur.
He wants to hear her voice again.
He wants to feel her warmth.
But he couldn’t stop crying because he knew he couldn’t anymore.
Sam read the letter while crying.
He read it over and over again.
Ur left only a brief note about herself.
The rest of the letter was full of memories and concerns about Sam.
To Ur, Sam must have been a disciple who still needed help.
He thanked his teacher for caring for him until the end of his life.
Then he made a vow.
「I’m not going to stop at this, Ur. I’ll become a great wizard as I promised. I’ll enjoy magic and life as much as I can for Ur.」
To fulfill Ur’s wish.
And when they meet again someday, he will ask her to praise him.
「So keep an eye out for me.」
Ur’s magic, enchantment, and skills resided within Sam.
She is still inside Sam, staying close to him.
He wished he could forget hers, but there was no way he could.
The best teacher, the benefactor, the love of her life, could not be so easily forgotten.
Becoming a wizard that Ur would be proud of.
Become the greatest and most powerful wizard she ever wished for.
Having set his sights on this goal, Sam slipped the letter into his pocket and stood up.
He cannot cry forever.
「Ur.」
Sam kissed the cheek of the quietly sleeping Ur and covered her with ice magic.
This was to ensure that her corpse would not be harmed on the way to the Royal Capital.
After covering the Ur with a sheet, he stored the death note and personal belongings she had left in the Item Box he had inherited.
「I need to get Ur to her family.」
Gently and carefully holding Ur in his arms, Sam left the room.
It was already midnight, but Sam walked towards the capital.
If he didn’t do something, he would start crying again because he remembered Ur.
He wanted to get Ur back to her family as soon as possible.
Without resting, Sam continued on his way to the capital.
