"I'm sorry I called you so suddenly."

"No, never mind"

Jared, who was invited to the Duke of Alway family, was so set to meet the Duke when he spoke to the mansion gatekeeper.

Jared, who had been put through to the Duke's office, sat down on the couch with the table hanging on his back as he put his mouth to the tea the Duke had prepared himself.

"Um, so what's the story?

Honestly, being alone with the Duke really makes me nervous.

I have been raised as a member of the Baron's family so far, but as a nobleman I have lived out of hand until I was an adult anyway. I have never attended a ceremony or attended a party at a house friendly to the Baron Dowm family.

It's awkward how much Jared has friendship with his grandfather and his fiancée, Olivier's father, but one-on-one with the country's heavy town titled Duke.

I also find it difficult to have a conversation with a distant duke as old as my parents and children.

Waiting for words, the Duke opens his mouth at first sight.

"As Olivier may have told me, I got a letter. Thanks to you, that child is also trying to start over with me as that child. I've honestly given up on parent-child relationships, so I can't be happier. But..."

Something went wrong, Jared got up.

"I don't know how to write back to Olivier for trying to walk me over, because I've been there so far!

".................. ugh"

He ate his teeth all he wanted, and Jared endured.

If I couldn't stand it, I would have said it without worrying about my position or anything.

- You know what? and.

I am truly glad I am a magician. The experience of responding to unexpected things made Jared avoid clinging to the person in front of him.

I don't even know what it feels like. But I honestly doubt the Duke's decision that he chose himself to consult his daughter.

Jared wouldn't be bad for wanting something like this to be someone with just as many daughters.

"I don't think it's gonna help me."

"That's not true. Jared, you are the rare being that Olivier has opened his heart to, who has been so stubbornly rejecting others. That's why you need to help me, too!

I want you to give me a break, I thought.

If allowed, it is driven by the urge to break through the window and escape, but even Jared hopes that Olivier and the Duke of Alway will get along better. Therefore,

"If that's what the Duke would say, I'd love to. It helps with trace force."

"Whoa, well! Sorry, thanks. If Jared could get in on the consult, it would be a hundred manpower!

This is the first time I've ever been so anxious to get ahead of myself, I make a desperate smile while holding my painful stomach so that the Duke doesn't notice me.

I spent the whole morning thinking about responding to a letter to Olivier while attached to a duke who didn't want his daughter to hide that he was a father she didn't want to hate.

I'm so tired of continuing to insist on being honest with the Duke, who tries to pick a variety of far-fetched words.

Instead of being exhausted, both physically and mentally, even though he had not fought, the Duke was happy to finish writing a satisfactory letter.

I want a speedy settlement. It is also for Olivier and the Duke of Alway, but it was for my own good that I would be caught up in this clumsy parent and child.

"Thank you, Jared. Thanks to you, I was able to write down exactly what I wanted to tell Olivier. I appreciate it."

"More than anything I can help you with."

"- Whoa, if you notice, it's noon. If you don't mind, I'll give you a lunch break.

"Just how you feel is fine. I'm going to show my face to the school this afternoon."

"Really? I wanted to have dinner with you, my stepson, but, well, it was only because it was sudden. Let's make an opportunity next time."

"Looking forward to it"

Called my stepson, I feel a little quick, but Jared becomes happy with the Duke, who treats me favourably purely as Olivier's wedding partner.

I was going to know that there was no such person as the Duke of Alway to change his attitude in his capacity, but this is how he treats himself really indivisible, too, so I lose my mind.

There is a difference between the Baron man, no matter how much the same nobility, and the cloud mud, in the Duke's lord. Other dukes wouldn't be as friendly to me as the Duke of Alway, even if they used Jared as good.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you because I was thinking about Olivier, but that boy named Pfile woke up."

"- Really? Did you say anything?

"No, I'm making you focus on healing wounds first."

"Are you still in danger of your life?

"Shortly after I fought you, I was dying just like you, but now I'm holding it back. However, when it comes to the condition of the wound, it's a serious injury, which is why I take care of it."

Pfile, the assassin of the assassination organization Vault Toyfer, was seriously wounded when he was defeated by Jared and captured by the hands of the Duke of Alway family. So did Jared, but they were both in danger.

Although it was helped thanks to the doctor and medical magician in possession of the Duke's family, Pfile, slashed and torn through his body by the waves that turned him into the blade of the earth, was wounded more than he could have imagined, and he recovered slower than Jared.

I don't know how far the Duke intends to draw information from Pfile, but there's probably got to be an interrogation waiting. You won't even torture me, but you won't have a clue because you targeted the Duke's wife and daughter.

But the Duke, too, should be complicated inside. Because it is also someone else in the Duke's wife who asked him to target his precious wife and daughter.

At the same time, Jared can't help but show himself to Pfile. Pfile says the Duke of Alway family person is his client. I didn't know his first name, but if you look at his face, you'll see. In that case, the side room I requested would not be silent either. It is possible that it moves to seal the mouth.

It must be dangerous, though I don't think that Pfile is going to get killed easily.

Maybe someone in the side room found out that Pfile was caught could run wild. As a result, something happened to Olivier and Hannellone.

"I want to ask Jared, do you think he'll talk?

"No, I don't think so"

"I agree"

Seems to agree with Jared who responded instantly, and the Duke nods.

"Pfile, even assuming, is the assassin of Vault Toyfer. You can assume they're taking care of the interrogation."

But I've revealed something to you.

"It was almost useless information..."

"No, not really"

Unexpectedly Jared takes a breath.

No way, and when I turned my gaze to the Duke's face, he nodded deeply.

"Only two people have a hysterical side to blonde hair in my side room. Of course, I'm not going to decide just that, but it fits so well that I myself have been able to do too much with the two people I've suspected for a long time. I'm afraid there's no clear evidence."

"Then why don't we have Pfile meet with either of those side rooms?

If you've met him face-to-face, you'll have an answer as soon as you see him.

But to Jared's suggestion, the Duke looked bitter and shook his neck sideways.

"Is there a problem?

"Of course I thought I could meet him in the side room. But he probably won't listen to me or anything. He never speaks a word since he woke up. On the contrary, I don't drink or eat. I've been asleep all day, and when I wake up, they don't deal with me when I speak to them"

"Then why did you give me the information?

"That's because you're the winner."

To the words of the Duke, Ha and Jared remember. Pfile said Vault Toyfer is all about strength. If you're right about that, I can also convince you why you revealed the information to Jared, who beat Pfile.

It was a piece of information that didn't seem very useful, but I found that Pfile kept his promise to be a Pfile.

"Will you let me and Pfile meet you?

"I don't mind that..."

"If the Duke is right that Pfile revealed the information because I'm the winner, we should also have a conversation. I tell you to go through the face like the Duke thinks you do."

"I'm sorry I bothered you all the time. But it really helps. Thanks."

The Duke took Jared's hand and conveyed his deep thanks.
