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

The next day, within last night, Jared, who asked Trane to tell the Duke of Alway that he wanted to ask him in the morning, was in a carriage prepared by the Duke's house.

For Jared, who is usually based on walking behavior, the view of the city from the carriage is fresh.

If you're rocked by a carriage for a while, you reach the Duke's house.

"Morning, Jared. Sorry about yesterday."

I am surprised that the Duke himself has welcomed me, hastily jumping off the carriage and trying to get to my knees to thank me, and I am stopped.

"If my future son gets on his knees, he'll be sad."

As always, I thought Jared looked a lot like Olivier to the reassuring Duke.

Olivier was never a comfortable person because of the circumstances and vigilance he had when he met him, but it's really easy to deal with these days whether he trusted me or not. I was fond of not trying to build relationships with titles and positions.

"Did you have breakfast?

"Yes, I've been with the Oliviers."

"Right...... I envy Jared. I wonder how long I haven't had a table with Hanne and Olivier."

The shady Duke looks really lonely and I can't find the words to call him.

Prepared to be alienated for once, I made the safety of the Hannellones a priority and let them live in separate houses and go away. It got me away from Olivier to my heart, and I should have been sad as a father. However, one by one, he was on his way to reconciliation with Olivier, who had only recently learned of the Duke's intentions.

That's why I wonder what the situation is right now.

If you make it clear that you stand up and protect Hannellone and Olivier, you don't know what the side chamber will do. First of all, if you act plainly, you can take as much action as you want, but it's not without danger.

The Duke will not do anything to find out who the mastermind is until he risks it.

Sounds good to me when I say gentle, but I can also accept a side that is too gentle as sweet.

I couldn't tell Jared which was the right one.

"You've said boring things. Konrat is kept waiting at the training ground. If I told him I could meet Jared, he'd be oh-shaggy. I command you to move your body a little and calm down. Now, let me show you around."

"Please"

The Duke will lead you to the training ground.

Once inside the mansion, walk down the hallway and turn to your back. Along the way, he and his servant are greeted by mistake.

I didn't run into Emilia I met yesterday or chilled, but the Duke seemed to think about it around there, telling me not to worry bitterly about Jared, who was behaving suspiciously alert.

After a short walk, there was a training ground in the open corner situated behind the wide Duke's house.

It's a simple square that eliminates obstructions, even when it comes to training grounds. A small building adjacent, but decides it's probably an arsenal. Since the mansion also has family members of the Duke's house, knights in your arms, etc., it is probably also where they train daily.

I felt signs of magic and spirits as well as magic measures.

"It's my son Konrat who's playing bareback over there."

He points to a boy desperately wielding a long sword of extraction and is introduced from a distance.

A flax-haired boy continued to sweat and bare his upper body naked. She is a little small in shape, but she is wearing a body that is being worked out for nothing. I am skinny because I am never muscular, but I do not have the impression that I am poor.

"I'm fourteen years old. Even with magic, I only let swordsmanship because I don't know what will happen as a magician. You may be dissatisfied if I say this to Jared, who is excellent as a mage, but magic is not the only thing. Especially on the battlefield. I've never fought much."

"I agree. I use swordsmanship and body technique, too."

"I understand your disrespect, but I hear you have no talent for swordsmanship?

"Surely I have no talent for swordsmanship. It will be inferior to my brothers. But just because you don't have talent doesn't make it any less tricky."

The Duke nodded satisfied with Jared's reply.

"Jared knows what a fight is. That's Baron Dowm's grandson. Even the same sorcerer, many of the sorcerers in this mansion say that the sorcerer should focus on sorcery, etc."

"Because magicians have magic powers that other humans don't have, only slightly, but because they are electorate conscious. Of course, not all of us, but you'd still be proud to have something else you don't have."

"I know how you feel, but I want to tell my son that besides magic, I also have the means to protect myself and my loved ones. I don't mind the magician holding me captive to witchcraft, but I want my son to be more flexible. I want you to laugh that you're a big idiot."

"That's not true. If there's more to fighting than just witchcraft, we should keep it to a point where we don't have to."

War is the only Jared with no experience, but he has fought warcraft, opposition parties, and sometimes magicians and adventurers. One-on-one, but turbulent, but if you're going to use difficult magic, there were many earlier occasions when you waved your sword at our samurai.

If you're a short chant, there have been and will continue to be more precise occasions when you move your body if you're going to use magic that requires a long chant.

I have also seen occasions where magicians, who can only use magic, have been scattered by warcraft in front of them.

Even Jared had a lot of occasions that magic alone couldn't overcome.

"I'm so glad you said that. If I can, I just want to keep swordsmanship going, even if Konrat has magician talent."

"I think we should do that"

It was a samurai-like word that kept me on the battlefield even before I inherited the Duke of Alway family, even after I inherited it.

"I feel the magic clearly from you, Konrat. Every time you make a bare gesture, there will be a lot of magic in your possession, as the magic moves in your body. I think I can do it as a magician without having to teach."

"Right! Um, don't worry about Jared's ink."

He was a duke who nodded happily, but accidentally turned off his grin and stared at Jared.

"I want to leave my son to Jared, whom I can trust if I can. It's a pity story, but the families have factions, too. Some follow me purely, but many follow my wives."

"If you'll excuse me, let me ask you one thing."

"I don't mind, tell me."

"Konrato, is it possible that your mother is after Hannellone?

"None"

To the unequivocal Duke, Jared opens his eyes slightly.

This was also unexpected to be unequivocally asserted.

"I could narrow it down to two people in the side room in light of what I've been looking into and what Jared heard from Pfile the other day. No, since before that, Conrad's mother had no reason to go after Hannellone."

"And say?

"Originally Konrat is a candidate for succession, but he's also a kid with no desire to be the head of the Duke's family or ambition to kick someone down and stand on top. My mother knows that, so she's been talking to me directly about wanting to develop her talent as a magician."

"So, is it me?

The Duke nods and continues his words.

"After waking up to magic, Konrat, naturally interested in the existence of a magician, had an admiration for Jared, who he stumbled upon. Jared Murphy quickly became famous within the Society of Mages, including the Warcraft Crusade from the age of fifteen. It was only a matter of time before my son became obsessed with you, even the grown-ups, because it was unclear where he had learned magic."

Jared quietly awaits the Duke's words.

Especially when you don't say anything from yourself.

Maybe the Duke knows all about his background, but he still can't say anything from himself right now Jared.

"When you became Olivier's fiancée, Konrat was delighted. Maybe I can make contact with you. That Olivier and I might be able to deal with it again as we used to. And when I found out I'd been selected as a candidate for court magician, I was as excited as I was about myself. That's why I wanted to leave my son to Jared, who has more flexibility than a hard-headed sorcerer. Of course, he also thinks his son will listen well to what he has to say because he admires him. Most importantly, I trust Jared with confidence that I can safely entrust my son."

"Thank you"

I finally figured out just a few reasons why I was chosen as a contort teacher.

I guess he decided that he was more trustworthy, Olivier's fiancée, than Conrad himself was admiring and the sorcerers whose side chambers might be breathing.

As the Duke affirmed, if Konrat's mother isn't after Hannellone, there's no problem getting him involved with Jared.

"I know very well that Jared is worried about the Oliviers. As a father, I sincerely appreciate that you are protecting my family"

"Oliviers are important to me too, so I want to protect them as much as I can"

"Thank you. But I hope you don't tell the Oliviers that you squeezed up to two killers. We need time because we don't have any certainty yet. If you meet with Pfile and find out your client's wife, that's fine, but if Olivier moves before that, it's important."

Indeed, and Jared agreed with the Duke's idea.

Her behavior would be obvious if she told Olivier, who is wholeheartedly guided Hannellone, that the killer was either of them. But it will also stimulate the lateral chamber in turn.

I wish I could grab my tail, but I have trouble being alert as a result of a prank stimulus. Above all, it is possible that Hannellone would be compromised by being abandoned.

"Okay. Olivier, I won't tell you. And would you mind if I met Pfile today, if I could?

"Thank God, I wish I could have done the same. And there's only one thing I want to tell you."

"What is it?

"I want Emilia to be careful. Emilia is the one who spreads bad rumors about Olivier, and her mother, Cornelia, is one of the two I'm staring at."

"-"

Jared never thought Emilia, whom we met yesterday, was the culprit of Olivier's bad rumors, and he can't hide his surprise. I didn't expect my sister to do that to Olivier.

Above all, when an Emilian mother like that is after Hannellone, there is about as much malice as parents and children.

I know exactly why the Duke told Olivier not to tell me, and I was convinced.

"Oops, looks like Konrat noticed this one. Let's end this story. As I said earlier, you don't have to worry about Conrad's mother, so thank you."

"Okay."

"Then let's say I call my son. Hey, Konrat! Come here!

When the Duke calls with his invitation, he runs toward us when he puts a long sword on the sheath that Konrat had placed on the ground.

Conrad, who quickly came before him, had a full grin on his pretty face for a boy who would still be young when he blushed.

Say hello.

"Yes, Father! nice to meet you, Dear Jared Murphy! I'm Konrat Alway. Nice to meet you, brother!
