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

"Jared, do me a favor"

"What's up?

Wiping his tears, Laurenz lowered his eyes and turned a straight gaze at Jared, bowing his head deeply.

"Get me involved in one of Mr. Kevin's cases. No, why don't you at least get some information?

"Master Laurenz!

Berta makes the kind of noise she blames, but Laurenz doesn't try to raise her head.

Berta turned her gaze and shook her neck to the side to Jared, who I think was in trouble. I suppose you want me to say no.

I'm sorry, but Laurenz shouldn't be involved in this.

"Why!

"Because that's how the blood is on your head. Whether the killer is an acquaintance of Kevin Harrington or not, he has the strength to kill a candidate for court magician. He's your master, isn't he? What guarantee do you have that you can beat someone stronger than your master?

Slightly hardening his voice, Laurenz gets stuck in words.

I'm sure you know that from the inside. That even if it involves itself, it will be the master's two dances.

Berta, horrified by the Lord's rejection, turned her gaze and bowed her head small. When Jared replies with his gaze, he puts his hand toward Laurenz.

"As much as I can tell if someone close dies, you can't stay calm. I want revenge, I want to take revenge, I can't help but think so. But don't be shy. There are people, including me, who are sad if anything happens to Laurenz. Do you understand?"

I know Kevin Harrington is a man of strength from the accomplishments written in the material he received from the Society of Mages, but I can't swallow everything more than I've actually met him. I guess I have the strength to be selected as a candidate for court magician, but when I hear that I had connections as well as simple abilities, I can only wonder how far I can believe.

But we should assume that even less is more powerful than Laurenz. Then we must assume that the killer who murdered Kevin is more capable.

Jared knows what Laurenz is capable of. And we also knew he was a man of strength.

Laurenz Herring is a better mage than his age and will be a representative of this country in the future. That's why I don't want you to die here.

Above all, I didn't want to lose a dear friend.

But I...

Unconvinced Laurenz grips Jared's arm so painfully.

But I guess you understand it with your head. There were no tears in his eyes. Repentance.

"I know so painfully that you worry about me. Even a magician like me can't beat you if he finds who killed Kevin. [M] Still, I can't forgive the killer, I will avenge him with this hand!

Laurenz as he shakes off Jared's arm and leaves the mansion.

"Whoa! Wait, Laurenz!

There is no sign of stopping your legs when you speak up.

"Jared Murphy. I'm sorry you made me say bad things instead of me."

"That's okay. More than that, stay with Laurenz and do it. I want you to stay around so I never let you be impotent. In case the killer could have attacked Laurenz."

"I know. I will not leave Master Laurenz alone."

"Call me as soon as you need anything, please"

"Okay. You be careful, too."

"You too."

In exchange of words, Berta goes after Laurenz.

"You've been a lot of emotional guys. Is that your friend?

"Oh, dear friend. So I don't want you to die."

I've been close lately, but now I'm an irreplaceable friend. I'd love it if you thought so over there.

I'm going to clear this one up quickly so my friend won't be unscrupulous and dangerous to the eye.

I don't know who it is, but if you want to kill a candidate for court magician, you just have to show up in front of me. I'll pay you back.

"Let's go back to the mansion after we've checked inside the mansion all the way. No doubt Olivier will still be angry, so I think I'll buy some sweets somewhere..."

"I want sweet baked sweets"

"I didn't ask you what you wanted!

Jared and Pfile look inside the mansion with a light slap.

The scene was next to what appears to be a lab. A simple bed is placed and there are signs of a meal. It's not a bedroom, but it must be a dormant room.

There are two entrances and exits to the room. Now there's one from the outside that came in and one from inside the mansion. Neither of them have traces of being opened up abusively.

"It would still be an acquaintance's crime. No sign of disturbance indoors."

"And no magic is used either"

From the point of view of being an assassin, Pfile speculates, and Jared, as a mage, interferes with the Holy Spirit to follow the trail of sorcery, but nothing.

I don't know if it's planned or sudden, but I can't help but think I did it well.

Perhaps the Sorcerer's Association will not be able to identify the culprit even if it only looks at the scene. In the end, I don't even know the M.O. As Raulenz told me, I punched my chest with a sword - I guess that's all.

All we have to do is look into it in terms of resentment, but let's expect that from the sorcerers' association.

What I need to do is to be able to respond whenever I am attacked. That's all I need now. Sooner or later, he'll show up in front of you if he's going to go for it.

"By the way, Jared, have you noticed?

"What someone is looking at?

"Did you still notice? Ever since I left the Duke of Alway house apartment, I've been seen. I'm going to erase the signs, but they're rude."

Similar to Pfile, I felt a staring gaze from the moment I left the mansion. No malice, but hostility. I've been getting that kind of gaze.

However, I left it because of the lack of direct action, but it is not interesting to be seen openly.

The murder of candidates for court magicians, including Kevin Harrington, also makes them more alert.

"You think this is the killer of this one?

"No, the person who killed all three candidates for court magician shouldn't be tailed to make this easy to understand either. Unless, of course, this crude tail is a fiction."

If you are deliberately making me realize the tail, do you have the right strength or are you confident in your own arms?

"Simply a poor tail or an invitation... don't have trouble judging"

At the end of the day, I don't even know the purpose of the person because of the current situation where they are just being seen.

"I don't think so, but Mr. Dennis must have put on an escort. No, but is that what he's gonna do?

"I don't know. I don't know who that person is, so I can't judge him, but as a sorcerer's association, I have no doubt that he doesn't want to lose the only remaining candidate for court sorcerer. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a tail that would tell us everything instead of the guards you said no to."

However, I still don't think so because if you're a Mage's Association person, you shouldn't be targeting hostility.

I'm not going to loosen my guard any more than I don't know who I am.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to take this tail to the Mansion"

"Do you want me to set you up here somewhere?

"We should see how it goes before we do. If the tail continues, I think we'd better change places, respond, and let them throw up their purpose."

"Well, let's do it"

When I checked the scene again to see if there was any overlooks, I decided to leave the mansion behind with no harvest.

It's only before noon, so I'm thinking about getting my fiancée in the mood this afternoon.

"It's working."

"I know."

Someone was watching this one move.

I just left Kevin Harrington's mansion and there are private houses around. I don't want to fight on this occasion if I can, because if it's a battle, I could get involved.

Whatever shows up, prioritize and figure out that moving to a place where you can focus your battles first.

And

"Nice to meet you. Jared Murphy."

It was only a young girl who appeared without sound in front of her. It's like rolling a bell, but the way you talk feels old-fashioned somewhere.

The girl, with her long red hair tied to the left and right, dressed in a distinctive ethnic costume with a floral pattern, had a staring gaze at Jared.

"The clothes, somewhere..."

costumes I've seen, but I can't think of where I saw them or who wore them.

Before that, I didn't recognize the girl and I didn't know why she could turn her hostility on me.

"Who are you?

"My name is Misakura! My concubine will not forgive you. Get ready!
