This Time, I Became the Fiance of a Duke’s Daughter. But She is Rumored to have Bad Personality, and Ten Years Older

"Needless to say, magicians are rare, but even more so, you are a 'earth attribute magician'. There's no way either the royal palace or the sorcerer's association can be left alone beyond having multiple sorcery attributes among sorcerers and achieving many achievements, including the Warcraft Crusade"

By earth attribute, my grandfather refers to a composite attribute with multiple magical attributes: land attribute, fire attribute, and water attribute. There are other composite attributes: empty attributes, sea attributes, but those with multiple attributes are too rare.

Not every attribute is out of group, but it is an attribute name given to multiple attribute holders with more than a certain amount of power, until in some countries its rare value becomes a lot of money.

It's a vulgar story, but they say that nobles who want to take in the sorcerer's blood may give up their children and slap large pieces.

Fortunately, in the Kingdom of Weather, the Sorcerer's Association and the Royal Palace do not tolerate such arbitrariness. Especially to the Sorcerer's Association, even if pullouts and engagements are still okay, the act of seeking blood alone is ridiculing the Sorcerer, and he is prepared to protect the Sorcerer at the Association General Outing if he intends to buy it with gold.

In fact, Jared has been stabbed in the nail by an executive of the Society of Mages asking him to rely on him if he has any trouble when he finds out he is a earth attributed mage.

"I was also surprised that Jared was up for court magician. Sometimes I'm a minor, and I've talked to us about being parents first. Sorry to keep your mouth shut. We were worried, too. Now this country looks peaceful, but not really."

"That's that secret organization you're not sure about, right?

"That's right. Jared must also be familiar with the remnants of the defeated nation and the masses organized by those dissatisfied with the current situation on the continent."

Already Jared is fighting what will be its secret organization.

He ran into me in the middle of a job I received from the Society of Mages and was attacked without question just because I was a resident of the Kingdom of Weather.

Neither does the Royal Palace seem to intend to leave the organization, where the losing country was the Lord, at which several Knights have been dispatched to fight on a small scale.

A clandestine organization whose name is not clearly known - for convenience, those known as the 'Chaos Army' - were committing acts of terrorism against the Kingdom of Weather and neighbouring countries, which are rich among the continents. Reason for action, the constituents are unknown. According to one theory, it is sometimes heard that dissatisfied elements within the Kingdom of Weather, as well as members of the anti-royalty, are at the helm. But I also hear that in recent years the rumors have been joined by remnants of a country that perished twenty years ago.

In the end, we are only certain that we do not know the authenticity, but we cannot overlook the repeated acts of terrorism, the manipulation of warcraft and the attack on the city, and the Royal Palace, of course, even the Sorcerer's Association and the Adventurer's Guild, are trying to eliminate them as enemies of the continent.

"Sorcerers are rare, it is imperative that you must stand on the arrow if you are going to have to fight. And the same goes for court magicians, as well as the court magic division they lead."

"Some knights are substandard, but it is true that magicians are above them as a force of war. No, you're not. You have to stay both ways."

"And if I become a candidate for court magician, will I inevitably go to battlefield too? Well, I still fight warcraft and thieves like I do every week, so I don't have a problem with it because it just turns into an organization I don't really know who they are..."

"But what is it?

My grandmother peeks into Jared's face worried about her toothless teeth.

"The court magician's seat should only be half filled. I suppose it would be normal for vacant seats to be filled from the court magic division if they were supposed to?

"We also asked, wondering, that there is no one who can be a court magician if you make the sorcerers association say so"

"And I don't even want to get involved in factional strife"

"Ugh... there are factional feuds in the Knights. If you can be on your side by who you fall under, you can be enemies too. It is lamentable that we should have to serve our country in unison. Nevertheless, I can't say it's great because I'm part of a faction."

"Do court magicians also have factions?

"Looks like there is. And then, so is the relationship of the nobility behind it. There seems to be factional strife among the sorcery divisions, and I have no idea what happens when I become a candidate for court sorcerer, but I have a bad feeling it's going to be a hassle."

There is even factional strife within the Royal School attended by Jared. It is not uncommon for a nobleman above the title to assemble his men and contend with a rival clan. The school is a little bit of a future prep.

Fortunately, Jared is not incorporated into any faction, but that makes him a lot of enemies. Even the most enemies are not clearly hostile, but predominate in shadows, harassment, etc. But Jared, who is receiving a request from the sorcerer's association instead of being exempted from classes, hardly ever goes to school, which equates to no harm.

Originally, they were just magicians, envied, secluded, and jealous.

If we can draw in, we'll be treated as allies, and if we can't, we'll be hostile. The behavior is simple because it is pre adult children.

"You've got a problem. If Olivier hadn't mentioned court magicians to the terms of her engagement, maybe there would have been a different future."

"Um, your grandfather. Don't you have the option of breaking your engagement with Olivier?

"There can't be any"

"Right. No, I just wanted to ask."

Being a magician isn't very comfortable in school. There, it's unpredictable what will happen to her rumors, too, if the Baron Jared is known to have made Olivier, the Duke's fiancée, etc. Furthermore, if he were to be a candidate for court magician, the nobles who had left me until now would also make a move.

I'm never complacent. This is the case in every country, such as the magicians of the Frisian continent.

"Earlier, we talked about the faction, and we Baron Dowm belong to the faction of the Duke of Alway. Sometimes I would be told that your engagement to Olivier is different, but for the Duke, who likes you as a brilliant magician, it's definitely someone you don't want to give anywhere else to try to break the engagement together. No, the Duke wouldn't, but the people around him,"

"It's a hassle."

"What are you talking about? Aren't factional feuds and other cute things? We women are struggling harder. That's what happens so often when a man finds out that he's a woman in distrust."

"I hate it."

"Whether you're noble or civilian, relationships are complicated and difficult. If you don't like it, you can just throw everything away and live secluded in the back of the mountain or something. But if we're going to live in society, we have to live through it by accepting both the hassle and the disgust."

Jared snorts at the words of his ultimate grandmother.

Jared just thinks it's a hassle, too, and I'm not going to say I don't want to get involved in anything until I throw everything away.

At the time I was born a magician and thankfully inherited my talent from my mother, I expected it to be a troublesome life.

However, it was unexpected that it had gone in a diagonal direction from what was expected, but we should still be able to modify the track.

"What Marte says is not wrong. I know it's bad for you, but I want to help the duke in need. That's why I can't do it without an engagement. But if in the future you meet Olivier and you really don't think you can think about the future, let the Duke think about the happiness of your grandson the most."

"My grandfather... thank you"

"What, you're making me struggle unnecessarily. Don't hesitate to help me. However, as it stands, I am engaged to Olivier, so I will also accept the candidacy for court magician, which is a condition."

"Please"

Just what I want, Jared says.

If you're a mage, it's natural to go for heights. Above all, if you can aspire to the height where your mother stood with only a few memories, you can be sure it's a chance you don't even wish for.

At the end of the day, any one of them just made it faster to where they had to get to.

"Regardless of Olivier, I'm going to try my best on the candidate for court magician."
