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

When Jared woke up again, it was still dark inside the tent, as well as outside.

Learn even more that it is the town square with the fountain that has more than one tent available. I guess everyone is asleep, silence was kept without people's voices.

I wondered what the dragon species were doing, but presumably sleeping just like the inhabitants.

I just kept sleeping and my health was recovering. It is unfortunate that we cannot say that it is full speed, but the magic consumed less itself, so sleep again and it will be complete.

Sewing dragon species, in words, is really easy, but I realized once again that the task of having to force stiff scales to sew was difficult.

As he moved his right hand, which still remained slightly uncomfortable, a voice was uttered by the pretense.

"Were you awake, Jared"

"Oh, Duke of Alway?

"Was there anything to worry about?

"No, I woke up, so I wanted to get some air outside."

Sleeping in the tent wasn't bad either, but sometimes I just wanted to move my body a little bit. My body was only a little stiff because I slept for a long time.

"What is the Duke of Alway doing when it's still dark?

"Because I let you rest faster than everyone else. I woke up early for that. It feels good because the air is clear because this town is surrounded by woods. Yeah, why don't we talk about it?

"I don't mind..."

"I was hoping to talk to you a little bit about my daughter."

"Yes, if you don't mind, it's cold in the morning though, so let's talk in the tent"

"I'm sorry. Let's sweeten it to your words."

Turn the entrance to the tent and invite the Duke inside.

I made sure the Duke lowered his hips in the chair that was placed inside, then I lowered my head small and Jared also sat down.

"Well, I'd also like to talk about my daughter, but before I do, I'll tell you about while you were asleep. Perhaps you care."

"Please"

"We cooked out to the residents and prepared multiple tents that were the same as here. I'll be living in a tent for a while, but as it gets hotter and hotter at times, I'm going to get you to put up with some inconvenience, but there shouldn't be a big problem."

Jared relieved himself of the Duke's words. Tent living is definitely tough, but just being able to prevent rain exposure makes a huge difference. I find it a real shame that the houses I am used to are gone, but the residents won't be able to afford it because they also told me that they would take the necessary funds for reconstruction from where it should be taken.

"As it happened, I plan to exempt myself from taxes until I rebuild. Sooner or later, the inhabitants stood up for the rebuilding of the town when it was done with the dragon breed. I respect them for not giving up hope in this situation."

"I feel the same way"

"As for the adventurers, I sent them to Wang Capital within yesterday. It's easy to plead not guilty because it happened in my territory, but there are some sorcerers and I plan to hold trials, including the sorcerer's association. Of course, it has already been decided to go to jail, and I will not show mercy because what they have done is too sinful. The merchants and Adventurers Guild officers who asked them were also from the King's Capital, so it would mean putting them all together."

But those who are actually imprisoned may be about the swordsmen. Being a sorcerer, she could possibly have the sorcerer's association take on her identity. The association is an organization for magicians, so if she's going to reflect and be cooperative, there's no chance she'll be able to finish her sentence as soon as possible, even if she's imprisoned.

It's a little difficult when it comes to merchants. Seeking dragon species is not a sin in itself. However, it is also certain that the merchant's request has caused great damage, but the majority of the causes are the actions of the adventurers. There may be property confiscation or penalties but you won't be charged with a major offense.

As for the Adventurer Alliance, I don't know because I'm not involved. But it's obvious you're silent on the problem behavior of the adventurers, so I think you should be guilty of something.

"The Adventurer and the Adventurer Alliance are troubling us, too. But they also need it as an organization."

A duke with a slightly bitter look. Maybe there's a problem even if it's not as good as this one in the territory.

"Something like that happened while you were asleep."

"Thank you. I'm relieved I didn't seem to have any problems."

"No, that's okay. You guys worked for this town too much. I can't let you do anything more."

I found the Duke, who laughs like trouble, cares.

Not because he's my daughter's fiancée, but because I sincerely thank Jared and the others for doing what they can for the territory.

I think he is a respectable person, such as being in the position of Duke but casual and going himself for the people.

So, I don't know. It's not what Olivier called the Duke of Alway. I wonder if the Duke in front of me would have whispered his daughter's words, even though she was young.

Without knowing the inside of Jared, the Duke gave a friendly voice when he made his expression as one parent.

"Now, speaking of my daughter, Jared is relieved that her daughter seems to have liked her a lot. That child, of course, suffers more from being born into a house called the Duke's House than is necessary for the other children. It's difficult because there's something selfish about the kids as well as Olivier. Speaking of which, it looks like you were suddenly summoned by Olivier the other day, too, and I want you to apologize as my father."

"No, never mind. I'm glad to see you too, Hannellone, and that Olivier has officially recognized me as her fiancée for being a candidate for court magician."

"Well... Olivier really liked you. Perhaps it was sweet of you to forgive me for being selfish. I'm sorry, but I want you to take a good look."

Guilt strikes Jared without being able to tell a duke who is in deep relief that he is pretending to be his fiancée.

"And let me also congratulate you on your election as a candidate for court magician. Only half the seats of court magicians are filled, and candidates rarely even appear. I want you to do your best."

"Of course it is. We want to do what we have to do as magicians."

"I wondered what my daughter would do when she mentioned being a court magician on the terms of her marriage, but I'm glad you're better than I imagined. My wife told me you're going to be living with the Oliviers, right?

"That's what happened. Honestly, I'm still just a fiancée, so I'm not sure if I can live with you..."

"I don't mind, let's forgive him as my father. What, if Olivier likes you, I'm sorry for the nasty analogy, but - let's persuade my daughter to marry even if she couldn't be a court magician. My wife seems to like you, and I'd be glad to have you as my stepson."

I thought Jared liked it a lot.

I wonder if there are any elements in me that I like, but I don't see anything in particular other than being a magician. Most importantly, being a magician doesn't mean the Duke is going to give his daughter.

Even if that's the case, you should welcome him to your son-in-law instead of giving him to his wife.

I can't really grasp the Duke's heart, and a little anxiety lingers.

"Olivier is selfish, strong, and some clumsy, but the roots are sweet kids. As a father, I want you to get along. Regards."

I had no choice but to reply Jared "yes" to the Duke, who bowed his head to Jared as the father who thought of his daughter.
