Magi Craft Meister

There’s nothing wrong with saying the truth.
His three brothers are legitimate children, but isn’t that guy’s mother is nothing but a mistress.”

He laughs scornfully as he replies.

A sound echoes through the room.
Saki had slapped the man with all of her strength.

“Wha… whaaat?”

“What do you know? Lord Wolfgang’s former wife, Lady Sophia, gave birth to Leonhart at age sixteen, Wilhart at age nineteen, and Elhart at age twenty-one, then passed away when she was twenty-two years old.
Lord Wolfgang thought about remarrying for the sake of his young sons, and hoped to take Lady Sophia’s younger sister, Lady Isolde as his second wife.
But to Lady Isolde, the position of ‘legitimate wife’ only ever belonged to her sister, so they decided to live in concubinage.
Then Reinhart was born.
You speak as if you knew everything, but you know nothing.”

The other man seems impressed by Saki’s words.
However…

“Hmph! I’m Gunther Kirhoff Von Dust, Viscount Kirhoff’s heir, you know? Are you sure you should be talking to me like that?”

The man waves his social position around just for the sake of offering some sort of resistance to Saki’s words.

“Oh, I see, you’re the son of Viscount Kirhoff.
Ho ho! Now that you mention it, I’ve heard the viscount say that his son is quite the rascal.”

“Wh… what?”

Then, Saki follows with a broad grin, and continues:

“You’ve given out your name, so I’ll do the same.
I’m Saki Theoderic Von Silva.”

Saki introduces herself using her name given by the marquis’ family side.
Gunther is completely taken aback.

“The… Theoderic…?”

He goes pale after hearing that family name.

“Ohoho! That’s right! Your family branches off mine!”

“I… I’m terribly sorry! Please forgive my continuous ranting!”

He jumps down as if throwing himself from two meters high, and dives his head on top of the floor while getting on all fours.
Saki fires off in a cold voice:

“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.
You should be apologizing to everybody here.
Understood?”

“Y… Yes!”

Gunther lowers his head again.

“E… Everybody! I deeply apologize for my thoughtless words.
I spoke of things I do not know of without thinking.
I’m very sorry!”

After saying that loud and clear, he leaves the room.

“… Hmph!”

Saki watches Gunther leave and lets off a sigh.
The first one to approach her after that is Karen.

“Saki, that was impressive! Yes, be sure to speak your name clearly when you’re like that.”

The next one is Jin.

“Saki, you were so cool there! You looked… how should I put it? Handsome?”

“Hey, Jin! Is that how you praise a woman?”

Jin can’t help but laugh.

“Ah, ahaha…”

Then the last ones are Reinhart and his mother, Isolde.

“Saki, thank you for speaking up in my stead.”

“I don’t mind what he said about me, but… Saki, I’m glad you got angry because of the things he said about my son.
Thank you very much.”

“Oh, it’s… it’s nothing.”

Now Saki is scratching her head and feeling shy.

Jin is impressed by Saki, seeing how furious Saki had become, to the point of using the name she hates in order to protect both Reinhart and his mother’s honor.

At the same time, his view of Saki as a truly reliable person intensifies.
