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

Jared just can't hide his surprise as Dennis' leopard freaks out.

Just to be clear, it's because I've never been told I'm out of standard, etc.

I do understand that being a earth attribute mage is rare, but I'm not the owner of a character that's arrogant enough to give special consideration to what I was born with.

I rush to fix it when I notice Jared losing his words when Dennis was breathing on his shoulder.

"Ya, I'm so sorry. No way. I've lost my cool."

"Oh, never mind."

"I mean, Master Murphy already has enough power to be chosen as a court magician. But you can't be a court magician as you are now."

Nor does Jared dream of being a court magician any time soon. Because even yesterday, when my grandparents told me I was running for office, I wondered.

I can't imagine myself becoming a court magician right now, even when I hear from Dennis, a member of the association. Rather, it's so frustrating to be told you can't be.

"We, the Sorcerer's Association and the Kingdom of Weathered, would like to fill the seat of the court sorcerer, which is half empty. But at the moment, there are three candidates, including Master Murphy. Too little is the status quo."

I wasn't surprised that there were two other candidates, but I was curious to see who they were.

When it comes to court magicians, it is the culmination of magicians. Only twelve people will be chosen. There are only six of them at the moment. By then the journey to the court magician will be rugged and you will not be able to reach it even if you aim.

"May I ask what kind of candidate you are?

"Unfortunately, the candidates are in the process of confirming their intentions, like you, Murphy, so I can't tell you yet. If you are officially a candidate, it will be made very public."

Wait till then, I smiled that I didn't care for Dennis, who told me I was sorry.

Dennis feels uneasy when he strokes his chest off his cheeks.

"Actually, Murphy, I need to talk to you about something."

"Is that a story?

"The candidate said three, including Murphy, but there could be more."

"That's a good thing, isn't it?

"Not bad, I think"

More court magicians should be delighted if they increase, simply because they lead to a strengthening of the country's power of war and defense. In fact, both the Sorcerer's Church and the Royal Palace are trying to fill the empty seats of court sorcerers.

But Dennis' expression is not excellent.

"This is to be told to the candidates, and if you know it, you know it - there's a move to invite good sorcerers from other countries to run for court sorcerer."

"Can I be clear?

"Go ahead."

"I don't know what the problem is."

"Yes, there is no problem if it is meant to be. It is not uncommon for talented people from other countries to be drawn out, and some countries are now seeking to invite you to their country. As for the pull-out, Murphy, please contact the association immediately if you come into contact with an individual."

I didn't think there was a pull-out story going up on me, I just could snort.

I don't feel Jared's life is moving a lot in the wake of his engagement to Olivier.

"It's not the pull-out itself, it's the person to be pulled out that's the problem"

"Problems with the personality of magicians in other countries?

"No, it doesn't matter if you have the power and track record to be a court magician even if you have a slight personality problem. In this case, there was also a problem with humans on the side of the Kingdom of Weather who were moving to pull through sadly."

I have a feeling I'm going to get into some trouble.

"The Kingdom of Weather is not a single rock either. Thus there is factional strife, and among the royal palaces there is a dispute over the right to inherit the throne. Sparks are smoking everywhere, and even trivialities can cause strife. This time around, those who are trying to pull out candidates for court magicians from other countries are the Societies of Mages and those who oppose the King. The person to be pulled out will probably be a spy from another country, or a force to oppose. I want to avoid that."

"So what do you want me to do?

"Neither the Royal Palace nor we have any objection to welcoming magicians from other countries. But I don't need an untrustworthy sorcerer. So we want our trusted magicians"

"That's not with me, is it?

"Let's get this straight. Jared Murphy is your son, Liz Murphy, and a brilliant magician. You already have enough strength to be a court magician, and as long as you have merit, you will soon cease to be a candidate. So I want you to be on our side."

- You're kidding me!

And, I wanted to shout inside, but I can enjoy the total mobilization of reason and patience I developed as a magician.

My head ached at the status quo in front of me with another troubling wave.

"Of course, we at the Sorcerer's Association will support you, Murphy. Neither will the royal palace do you any wrong."

"Um, how could you do that to me? My mother was a court magician, so I'm not convinced."

"The Weathered Kingdom today looks peaceful at first glance, but it is volatile with mysterious secret organization leaps and rushes with other countries. It is only troublesome to have people under that circumstance who oppose the King. So I thought Murphy, who became Olivier's fiancée to the Duke of Alway, whom the King trusted, could be trusted."

- Oh, I knew it was the engagement.

But if you can be a court magician, your engagement to Olivier will go ahead. If so, you may become more involved with the Duke of Alway family and end up involved. Above all, I heard that my grandfather was close to the Duke of Alway and joined the faction. After all, it's only a matter of time.

I wanted to be desperate that there was no crack and no escape.

"Maybe if we hadn't talked about the engagement, we wouldn't have talked about a candidate for court magician?

"No, it doesn't. Murphy was chosen as a candidate for court magician a long time ago. The engagement to Olivier seems to have come up recently, but the sorcerer's association didn't know until yesterday. Your strength and merit have only been recognized and you have become a candidate."

"Tell this story to the other candidates, too?

"I am. Fortunately, all the candidates were trustworthy in character and position. Though, Murphy, I've spoken a little too much to you. But it is imperative that you connect deeply with your country beyond becoming a court magician. Some of them are supported by people of higher stature and act as they are told. But we want to be sincere with our candidates, Murphy."

So I guess I told you about the circumstances that could get you involved sooner or later in the candidate Jared, not the court magician.

Information release is a trust advance.

The Society of Mages showed sincerity in order to gain trust.

"Not all candidates, including me, can be court magicians, but can I tell you something that matters?

"I don't mind. Of course, I'm asking you not to say anything else, but sooner or later you'll find out. That's what I'm talking about to gain trust, so I'm not thinking about it because I couldn't be a court magician."

Probably not willing to reveal even the details. Now, the names of those who oppose the king do not appear. But that's why you'll know when you get involved with the Duke of Alway and your engagement to Olivier goes on.

"To be a court magician, we want you to be prepared to get involved in something like this. On top of that, let me ask you something. - Jared Murphy, are you ready to go for court magician?

"There is no need to be questioned, there is"

"Instant Answer, is it... great. A few years ago, I talked to the person who was selected as a candidate about the issue at the time, and I wanted the response to make me think,. But you weren't. It was instant."

"I had a mother. I want to climb high. I would also like to see how far it works as a mage. It's not easy to let go of that chance."

"Sorcerer's answer."

"Perhaps so. But I'm a citizen of this country, too. If there's anything I can do to help, I want to help. And..."

"And?"

"Because I'm going to get involved anyway"

When I laughed bitterly, Dennis was also followed and laughed bitterly.

"Well, Olivier told me the challenge of being a court magician, and Baron Dowm, who can even give up his grandfather, will be involved if he is as good a magician as you are without having to be a court magician, than the Duke of Alway is the most trusted one."

"The information is missing..."

Jared could no longer but laugh at the fact that he was already known not only for his engagement to Olivier, but even for the terms she put out.
