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

"No, but now that you're engaged to Olivier, and you're married, you'll be taken in by the Duke of Alway's house anyway, so wouldn't that make a difference?

"- Kay, kay, kay, marriage, yeah, right. Well, sure, fuck, if you get married, you'll be a Duke of Alway family person, too, right? Whatever your identity is at that time, no doubt, you're part of the Duke's family."

Olivier tided her cheeks to the word marriage.

What Jared says is not a mistake either. Even if the Duke unintentionally, he becomes an associate of the Duke's family if he is united with Olivier. Even if he succeeds Baron Dowm, that doesn't change anything more than his wife being Olivier.

At the same time, there is no need for the Duke to force him to take in Jared.

Jared's grandfather, Baron Daum, was a good advisor to the Duke and loyal from around him. Everyone would think that Jared, his grandson, would be incorporated into the faction of nature and the Duke of Alway family.

I didn't think Jared would have much of a problem with his involvement with Konrat, now the Duke's son. Of course, Jared is optimistic and Olivier's reaction to worry about is normal.

In some cases, he could be the master of the Konrat, but I really can't tell until I see him there. I don't want to get involved if I'm talented but not personable, and even less if I feel bad about Olivier.

Above all, there is also anxiety about whether Jared himself can be a major actor in teaching someone something.

"Conrad, aside from whether or not I'm going to take your case, I wanted to know who you are first. If you don't have a good relationship with Olivier, it's bad for the Duke, but I'm thinking no."

"... you really care about me"

"Didn't you know?

"No, I knew it. But they reminded me again. You care about me, and you care about me. I'm so happy about that."

I can't feel a lie or falsehood in Olivier's words smiling at me for saying so. Words from the heart are conveyed, and Jared is illuminated.

As Jared, I'm not conscious and cherished. I think it's important, and I want to take care of it, but I don't feel obligated to do it.

It's just that Jared himself cares about Olivier and her family. That's all.

Even though it's not been a month since we've met, Jared himself had the least expectation of being able to value someone so much.

Jared wasn't too deeply involved with anyone. Her mother was killed, her relationship with her father sucked, and she also lost her voice with those who were once her only friends. I'm not very good at dealing with people because I have such a past.

If those who would overcome the walls of Jared's heart, like his best friends, Lars, would accept the way it is, so I could be close.

And I can see that Olivier and Hannellone and Trane are also accepting Jared, though in a different way. Even the Duke of Alway is. That's why Jared was able to accept them again.

Unlike Olivier, who is in human distrust because his family is being targeted, Jared was aware that he could not make someone close because the roots are cowardly.

Therefore, I sincerely want to take care of a person who has accepted even once. I don't care what they think, whether it's selfish or selfish. Jared wanted to protect the people he cared about in a way he could only do.

"You seem worried, but Konrat's not a bad kid. But..."

"But?"

Stuck in words, Olivier spins his words as he searches for precise representations.

"Pure and unmalicious, a child whose feelings are straight. You admired me and my sister. But when your mother was targeted, I couldn't believe it myself. Not exactly him, but his mother."

"I think it's the only way."

"Well, maybe I am. But I ran away from the contort that you admired. He hasn't done anything to us, but he hasn't said anything at his own convenience."

Olivier bites her lips off like she regrets it.

But for Olivier, whose enemy allies could not judge, I can't help but doubt the Konrat even if he admired me with his sister. In particular, his mother had to be more vigilant than someone in the side room was targeting him.

"Konrato, was your mother after all, after all, after Hannellone?

"I've done a lot of research, but I don't think that kid's mother is. I don't have anything to prove, but I'm not doing anything about it. Instead, he's happy that Konrat has magic, and he's making a leap to attract talent. He's my only son, so naturally. Then you don't have to bother to hurt your mother."

Indeed, Jared is convinced.

If Konrat can do it as a magician, even if he can't inherit the Duke's house, his position will be protected. It should be an important talent for the house without being crushed by the talent of a valuable magician.

Even his mother is more likely to put everything on her son than she hasn't decided to always be in a regular room at great risk to harm Hannellone.

Maybe not in emotional terms, of course, and I don't even know what you actually think. But if you do poorly, even your son can wonder if you will behave in a way that includes the danger of endangering his position.

What is expected, of course, is that the Duke himself wants Jared to take care of him. Even the Duke should have checked to see if his mother, a side chamber, wasn't after Hannellone before he thought he could see Jared.

"Konrat's not even after his succession. She doesn't have the desire to kick someone's ass, but she wants to stand up there. Because of that, my brothers and sisters make fun of me..."

The look on Olivier's face when he said Konrat was being ridiculed by his brothers and sisters seemed dark and sad. Jared doesn't know if he regrets anything he can't do to live away.

Still, I just found out Olivier was leading the Konrat.

"Even if that kid's mother neglected you, I don't think Konrat has anything to do with it. That's the kind of girl I am. I wish I'd noticed that sooner, too, but it's too late."

"That's not true."

"Huh?"

"If Olivier wants to get along with Konrat again, you just have to. Even if Konrat's mother was up to something, just tell her it wasn't something she found out. He's my brother."

"Could it be that easy?

I smile to brave Olivier, who makes me look anxious.

"Even if it wasn't possible, it's important that Olivier tried to face Konrat. I don't know if I can tell you that I'm running away from a lot of things, but if you think you might regret it at all later, you should do it."

"Well, I guess so."

"I'll do what I can to help, so good luck."

Olivier gets anxious while thanking Jared for his encouragement. I was worried about Jared, who didn't tell me much about himself, rather than the fact that Konrat's relationship wouldn't go back the way it used to.

Even now, Jared was unconsciously saying that he was running away from something, but Olivier doesn't know what that "something" is. It could be about the father, or something else.

I regret that I always get help and can't help you with Jared's powers.

But I also knew that no matter what I said to Jared right now, he would tease me. First of all, I'm driven by the urge to reopen Jared's investigation, which I stopped on the way, but since the investigation is only something I know about the upper side, if I really want to know about Jared, I just have to hear it from Jared himself.

So now, all we can do is wait. That's what I miss.

Olivier smiles so that she doesn't feel so lonely.

"It's painful to bother all of you, but if that kid had talent and you liked him yourself - say hello to Conrad"

I knew I didn't have to ask you back.

"Never mind, Olivier. I'm looking forward to it unexpectedly."

It was Olivier who still remembered the distance and loneliness to Jared, who called himself "Olivier Sama" and other manners.
