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

"Have you been able to talk to the Duke of Alway since then?

To Jared's inquiry, Olivier looked sinister.

The Duke of Alway has always told us about Hannellone and Olivier, and moved them to a different house to keep them away from danger. But if I told him about it, the Duke distanced himself, ready to be resented by his family, because the story could also have been passed on to the side room targeting Hannellone.

Naturally, Olivier, unaware of the circumstances, hated my father because he thought he had molested my mother, but now that the misunderstanding had been solved, I wanted him to reconcile as Jared.

"I only talked a little bit when I came to see you. But I don't know what you and I can talk about because we've been through this before..."

It would have been awkward to mock each other.

"Hannellone, you weren't with me?

"I wanted to, but your mother cared because she wanted me and my father to make up. But it was hard to realize."

It was Hannellone's behavior, which I thought was good, but it could have been an unnecessary realization for a clumsy father and daughter. I can't help but think that Hannellone could have developed something.

"But you'll have another chance. Even the Duke of Alway should want to do a lot more parent-child stuff with Olivier, so please don't give up."

"You don't have to tell me, I won't give up. I know because of you that my father loves me and your mother, so I will reconcile you."

"That's the intention."

Jared thinks it's more a matter of time than Olivier has the will to walk over. When I think of a day when the two of us can hang around and smile, I'm as happy as I am.

However, because of the side chamber's eyes, the visible settlement will come after unveiling the mastermind aimed at Hannellone. Still, it must be comforting to just know that your father is on your side.

Oliviers, for the sake of my family, I'm trying to help.

"By the way, I'm so glad you care about me all the time, but what about you?

"What do you mean?

"You're not doing well with your father, either, are you?

"Both the Dukes of Alway and Baron Dowm are having a hard time with their family situation."

It doesn't surprise me any more now that Olivier knows the mismatch between himself and my father. But unlike Olivier and the Duke of Alway, Jared's relationship with his father is bad. There's nothing to reconcile.

"Don't delude me"

I tried to change the story, but it didn't make sense to Olivier.

Ha, and sigh, Jared opens his mouth like he gave up.

"My relationship with my father will never change from the status quo. You know that somewhat, don't you?

"Well, I know all about you because I've looked into it."

"Then you don't have to ask..."

"I want to hear it from you."

Losing the kind of gaze that guides him through Jared, rather than being intrigued, Jared starts talking about his relationship with his father.

"If it's easy - my father, in a nutshell, is no man. As for the sword, he has a gifted gift, but his grandfather tried to give the governor to his uncle, who is not his father, but his brother. But it only seemed lucky, diving through the battlefield with one sword and gaining the Baron's place in a few years. If you just look there, you're good, but you can't be a man."

Olivier pulls her cheeks to the hard words against her father.

"That's a lot clearer, huh?

"You'll also want to say that. For once, I seem to have had love with my mother, but I also know that I still married my mother to get the title. Besides, since my mother's lifetime, I've been neglecting me for not having the gift of a sword and drawing only half the blood of a nobleman. If I had any talent as a swordsman, I might not have... I wouldn't be able to see such a man in a favor."

"That may be true, but it's surprising. Though thou art compassionate and kind to me and to my father..."

Nothing in particular for Jared about his father. To such an extent that he was ordered to hold his sword a few times at a young age, without any memory of him doing anything like a father. But my mother died without any swordsmanship or teaching, and she was left alone. Though my grandfather, who I saw, took it from me, but after that, my father didn't even want me to think about it.

I didn't have any love for my parents. But to the best of Jared's knowledge, my father used my mother's position. You can't possibly think of a father who used a woman as the same man a lot.

I've barely had a conversational conversation either, and it was the last time I was told a while back that I wouldn't let the housekeeper inherit.

If my grandfather did anything for Jared, he could not even think of him as a father if he realized that he had a sore, jealous, disgusted, and even disturbed father.

"I told you I had no sword talent, but you fought with a sword the other day. I wonder why you bothered to use a sword that says you're not talented?

"I don't know anything about being a swordsman or chivalry. For me, a sword is nothing but a convenient weapon, unlike magic. I'm sure my father didn't like the idea that the sword was all he had."

"Hey, where the hell did Jared learn his sword from?

"It's - it's going to be a long story, so let's take another chance."

It's Jared's past that even Olivier doesn't know, but he wasn't going to reveal it. It's not a very pleasant story, and I don't want to talk about it if I can because I have a lot of youthfulness.

"I'd like to ask you now?

"Dinner will be here soon, see you next time"

Of course, Olivier has asked me to speak without trying to hide her dissatisfaction, but Jared never spoke any more about her father or sword.

Olivier gets more worried than dissatisfied. I also look into and know that the father and son had a bad relationship and that Jared's reasons for not succeeding the governor were determined by his father's coexistence. But we can't investigate until inside Jared's father's chest.

So is Jared. Not all of Jared's life is what Olivier looked into. In fact, a blank period of time exists for him that he really doesn't know what he was doing for about a year or more.

I didn't really care until the other day, but now that I'm forgiving Jared my heart, I want to know. I know I'm on my own, but it's hard to dispel the question I once remembered.

When and where did Jared learn magic and gain strength until he was selected as a candidate for court magician? Where did you learn swordsmanship that you were judged not to be talented and not taught by your father or grandfather? There was too much I didn't know.

With just a little loneliness about it, Olivier stopped pursuing, believing that one day Jared would talk.
