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

I had a headache when I got into trouble.

I don't know why there is blood on my head, but Laurenz, who originally had a pig rush, is in trouble for being dramatically elevated. If you get your anger exploded in the classroom, it's a catastrophe.

"We're changing places."

"Whoa, don't touch me!

Grab Laurenz's arm and move forcefully as the gaze gathers during the class.

Laurenz is in better shape than Jared, but I don't feel like losing compared to simple force. I dragged Raulenz to resist and decided to do it outside the school building.

In the unlikely event that magic is used in the school building, it is not something I would have enjoyed.

Walking with his arms grabbed for a while, he gradually moved to the training station with Laurenz, who gave up his resistance.

Training stations are used for literal purposes. Those who aspire to knight have swords, those who aspire to magicians have internship classes where they train in witchcraft, and the students are highly popular.

Training centers are open outside of classes and can be self-trained.

And it is often used in rubbing between students, but I never thought I would be able to use it.

"Let go of the good candle"

He shook off his arm, but breathed relief because he was able to get inside the training center. The training center has multiple boundaries for court magicians, so even if the students really did hit the magic, it would have no effect on the school building. I can hear loud noises at best.

I felt magic leaking from Laurenz's body worrying about the crease in his uniform. I wonder how unstable your emotions are.

"You, how much do you not like the fact that I've been chosen as a candidate for court magician?

"Shut up! Like you, aren't you ashamed to use Conne to run for court magician?

"Don't be ridiculous. There's no way I'm gonna do that!

"Then why did you get engaged to Olivier Alway! The day after rumors broke out that you were engaged to that woman, now rumors are circulating that you've been chosen as a candidate for court magician!

"Is that all you thought I used Olivier? Come on, man!

Anger solicits when people accuse me of not even doing it.

I understood with my head that I had to stay calm, but I couldn't bear to grab Laurenz's collar and slap him against the wall.

"I don't do anything cowardly!

"Can you believe it!

"Murphy, don't!

I let go of my hand from Laurenz because of Krista clinging to my arm, who came late.

The surroundings rush over to Laurenz, whose oppressed neck opens and coughs.

"Friends, aren't you like your usual friends?

"Nothing, I was just annoyed by a fool who really got the rumor"

"What!?

"Mostly, it's this way I want to be angry. Since yesterday there's been rumors going around like they don't know me, some idiot who believed the rumors is going to stick around, come on!

He raised his anger and punched the wall.

The pain running on my fist only restores a little calm.

"No matter how many rumors you say, once you fiancée that asshole, you're a candidate for court magician."

One of Laurenz's surroundings stares at Jared. But Jared stares back with an angrier look than that.

"You, now who did you say?

"Hey, what, did you get angry when they told you to butt your fiancée? But butt-light is butt-light."

"Come on, Drew! Even though he's not here, he's disrespectful to Olivier!

The boy, called Drew, disputes Laurenz with an unpleasant look on his face.

"I thought Murphy said you were cheating. Then it's up to you to turn your hand around trying to make your fiancée's position better."

"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm telling you not to throw up words that you despise about women!

Drew tries to get away from Jared when he hits his tongue. But I didn't let you.

Countless tsu grow from the ground of the training station. entangled in Drew's legs as he willed, followed by a wrap around his hips. Not long ago, Drew, covered in a tsubo all over his body, couldn't understand what had happened to him or even raise his voice.

"If it's refreshing to say whatever you want, now it's our turn to refresh"

"Stop it, Jared!

"Shut up, Lars. It's none of your business. I'm taking Krista back, okay!

Releasing Krista, who was still clinging to her arm, and depositing it with Lars, she speaks to Drew, who was covered in Ts.

"I'm glad you can't move with fear. This tsu hurts what moves, but if it doesn't, it's harmless. Stay still if you don't want to feel painful. You'll be punished for your tantrums later."

"What, did..."

"This tsu is a tsu I grew up with my magic. The earth attribute magician also deals with plants. What's wrong, you didn't know?

That's all I'm saying, Jared turns to Laurenz, who's asking for his alert on the dew.

"What do we do? You guys want to see painful eyes, like this guy?

"Let go of Drew"

"Say no."

"I've been badly told about my fiancée. Your anger is not wrong. Let him make a proper apology. And I apologize."

"Before that, you have something to discuss, right?

Jared quietly opens his mouth blocking Laurenz's words.

"I'll solve the misunderstanding first. Olivier Alway would never turn his hand to the sorcerers' association for me. Of course, the same goes for the Duke of Alway. Above all, if you can be a court magician by the power of the Duke's family, the court magician should be consolidated in the Duke's family by now. It's impossible to have half the seats available."

The Sorcerer's Association is a semi-independent organization, and even the Royal Palace cannot speak of the Association.

The Sorcerer's Association is only an organization for sorcerers. Sure, the good guys give preference, and now Jared gets a request and even a reward instead of being exempt from class. But it is not uncommon in any society for the good to be favoured.

Instead, if you are a good magician, you will be able to obtain asylum from the Society of Mages regardless of your status. If you want to grow up as a magician, you should make a desperate effort.

A magician is a creature who seeks limits and tries to cross them. Continue to seek knowledge, technology, and battle.

Therefore, I do not intend to use my power to make a 'cheap shortcut' to becoming a court magician. If anyone has such an idea, it is not a sorcerer. I'm just a human being who can use magic.

"Laurenz, there's something about you being a pig rush, but you're not stupid. I know how proud I am to be a magician. And yet, how could you easily believe a rumor you should leave alone?

"It's..."

"Did you really think I wanted to be a court magician, but to marry the Duke's daughter and gain power?

Jared grabs the face of the leaning Laurenz and glances at him and assures him.

"I only have magic. So I would never do anything shameful by being involved in magic"

"Then... why didn't you deny anything"

"What?"

"You always do! He is an excellent magician, yet flat out even if he is ridiculed if he does not succeed the governor. I'm not gonna let you tell me you don't even know what they're saying about your engagement to Olivier! And it's the same story about this candidate for court magician. If you're not, why don't you just say a word to me that you're not!

"I told you, didn't I?

"You just told me that earlier!

Tears spill out of Laurenz's eyes.

Jared was also surprised by this.

"Don't you regret it? You're being ridiculed in the shadows, despite your talent, your efforts and strength! Maybe it's not enough for you to take, but everyone's saying you've done something wrong with your mouth, shouldn't you deny it?

"Why are you crying? If you're gonna cry, it's me, right?

"Do you know how I feel? You don't know what it was like yesterday to go around denying rumors that Olivier and I were engaged because I wouldn't succeed the governor. I don't want to be gracious. I didn't want to be badly told about Jared Murphy I yearned for!

"Laurenz, you..."

"Yet today, rumors are circulating all over the school that he has now used his power to become a candidate for court magician. I didn't want to believe it, but I thought maybe because you wouldn't deny it to anyone."

I was finally convinced of Laurenz's behavior. At the same time, I am grateful that you denied the rumors where you did not know them.

I thought they hated me very much. He said he was seen as a competitor and that he just said that he didn't like it because he didn't like himself either. But it wasn't. It was Jared who was mistaken.

to Laurenz wiping tears. Jared bowed his head,

"I'm sorry. And thank you."

I conveyed my gratitude.

"Sure, I ignored the rumors. It's unpleasant, but I didn't deal with him because I thought he'd just be funny if he was reacting one way or the other. But I didn't know Laurenz denied the rumors for me."

I thought everyone wanted to be funny and left them alone. Even if Lars had nothing to do with the rumors, and Krista knew what Jared was going to do, she didn't deny it, even if she wanted to.

But I would have been able to respond more differently if I had known Laurenz would have taken action for me.

I just regret that.

"It wasn't just me, Berta and Kurt helped me, too. That's why we couldn't forgive ourselves for hearing that we had done something wrong."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry about Berta and Kurt."

"It's something I did on my own, you don't have to apologize. But I'm glad I saw your anger with my own eyes and found it different. You're not the kind of sorcerer who does the wrong thing."

"Oh, I don't cheat. If I can't be a candidate for court magician without doing that, I'm not going to start with it."

Jared would definitely have said no, assuming in good faith that Olivier or the Duke of Alway would speak to the sorcerers' association. On the contrary, you must have definitely kept your distance.

Because it's like they say you're powerless as a magician.

I don't mind if it's my fault if I don't have enough power. But I don't want someone to do something about it.

Because it doesn't make any sense at all to get help in battle or to make up for and cooperate with what you want.

"Good, then. I'm sorry, I'm definitely a pig. If you make all that noise in the classroom, there will be new rumors again..."

"That's all I need, if my loved ones will know the truth. So glad you guys found out the truth. If you believed me, I'd be happier. Thanks."

Jared strongly embraced his clumsy friend who acted for him.
