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

Jared told the Duke of Alway that he had been attacked by a raider named Vault Toyfer, and that Olivier and the others had been advised to stay away.

Laurenz is not here because when he confirms Jared's safety, the Duke asked him to tell the knight to strengthen his town watch. I think the Duke may have asked to keep Laurenz away.

The Duke stared at the assailant, bleeding and desperate, but exhaled loudly and opened his mouth to Jared.

"Definitely, it's Vault Toyfer"

"Are you sure?

"It's a shame. When it comes to Vault Toyfer, it's the best assassination organization on the continent. Some of us aristocrats employ people to kill the one they really must defeat."

I couldn't hide my surprise in the Duke's words.

At least Jared's knowing Duke of Alway sees himself as a human being unrelated to the assassin. But he says he knows.

"I hope you don't get me wrong, I've never done them a favor. I just hear that my grandfather has only used it once against someone he couldn't handle. When I succeeded the Duke, I was introduced to Vault Toyfer just in case."

"Vault Toyfer is after Olivier and Hannellone. Do you have any idea?

"There's too much..."

The Duke clenched his fist with a bitter worm-bitten look.

"Hanne hasn't had any children but Olivier, in his normal room. I'm responsible too, but it's hard that noble wives couldn't have a boy."

Jared is also a nobleman, so I know for once. But I thought Jared had some other personnel who thought he would never succeed to the title.

"My succession decides to choose the best of the men the side chamber gave birth to, but the brothers are not close because of it. I can tell every nobleman that only one will succeed the governor."

"If it was a successor dispute, why Olivier or Hannellone?

"It means that there are people who don't feel comfortable that Hanne is in a regular room position who couldn't give birth to a heir. So much so that I wish I was a deceased."

"It's..."

It's too selfish and terrible an argument.

Above all, I don't like the idea of hiring assassins to kill their opponents, rather than defiling their own hands.

"We also let Olivier and the others live in separate houses in order to make the side rooms think they are normal rooms but poorly handled. I'm exploring who doesn't really think of Hanne, but he doesn't really let me grab his tail. But I can't believe I'm hiring a Vault Toyfer..."

Quietly, but surely to the Duke who is hosting the flame of anger, Jared suggests.

"I'll protect you."

"Jared?

"I made up my mind. I will now return to the King's Capital and begin living with you today. I don't mean to overstate my powers, but if you're about this raider, you can pick him up if you're ready."

"Are you sure? It's our family's problem, isn't it?

"Not now. I'm Olivier Alway, your fiancée, right?

Jared Murphy is not in love with Olivier Alway anything. I've seen him less often, and I know that my fiancée is just a name.

Still, I wanted to protect Olivier and Hannellone.

"Sorry, thanks"

The Duke raised his head deeply and said words that were short but thankful.

"I'm glad you're Olivier's fiancée. What that kid needs now is not someone who can't protect what he loves, like me, but someone he can trust wholeheartedly, like you. Please do me a favor about my beloved family!

Accepting the Duke's wish, Jared returned with him to the square, where he was to return abruptly.

Raulenz was to return to the King's Capital by carriage with the Duke. Perhaps you wanted to avoid the Feilongs because you weren't in a hurry.

Once again, Jared exchanges farewell greetings with the residents and promises to reunite with Laurenz in the King's Capital.

When the Duke and I met each other and nodded at each other, we flew on the back of the Fei Long to the king's capital.

Then, after an hour of empty journeys, we head to Olivier's mansion with our battle clothes on.

"... Master Jared?

Trane, who was taking care of the flower beds in the garden, also slightly opens her eyes without changing her expression to Jared, who suddenly appeared.

"Hey, Olivier, are you there?

"Yes, I'll call you in, please."

and when Trane tried to get back inside the mansion,

"Trane, your mother was looking for you. - Oh, Jared Murphy?

Olivier himself appeared from the mansion and looked surprised to find Jared standing in the garden.

"Long time no see, Olivier."

"Yeah, it's been a while. You did well this time. I wasn't expecting to defeat the dragon species, but I was surprised to help the dragon species, but I didn't expect to defeat even the adventurer."

"I'm still amazed at myself. But the dragon breed was a very good kid. If the town rebuilds, I'd love to see you. You'll love it."

"I'll think about it. By the way, I'm surprised you showed up suddenly. I knew you'd be back, but I never thought you'd come back to me. Have you come to apologize for worrying about your fiancée?

As usual, Jared was horrified. At least, I don't think it was in the raid like I was.

But now is the only time I've noticed.

There are still traces of combat in the building. I guess I fixed it, but I haven't been able to hide everything. And when you concentrate, there is a slight residue of magic. Someone must have used magic on the property within the last two weeks. Probably Trane.

I don't feel much magic from her, but I know as much as I intentionally hide it.

I also felt it when I first met him, but his behavior, which is good at secrecy, is the movement of the trained. For example, she is the only one in this mansion who can carry out combat acts.

Olivier and Hannellone are left without any other escorts or family, probably because they trust about Trane. And having the power of war should also be the reason.

Still today, Trane finds herself wary of Jared, who suddenly appears.

"No, Olivier, I want to tell you something."

"I wonder what?

"You said you were going to live with me."

"Yeah. Maybe you've noticed the fear? But I'm not gonna let you tell me you don't want to live together because your mother's looking forward to it."

"I'm going to get my stuff, please start today"

"Huh?"

It was Olivier who would make a dumb voice for unexpected events because of what he had imagined and Jared's different answers.

Next to her, there was also Trane, who showed such a change in expression that she could tell she was surprised uncommonly and clearly.

"Duh, what do you mean?

I was supposed to live with Olivier, wasn't I?

"Yeah, yeah, it was. As soon as you're ready, you'll be living together."

"So now that I'm ready and ready - I'm going to live with you today"

Jared said clearly to Olivier, who was still stunned.
