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

Jared and Berta, who advanced through the aristocratic district, found Laurenz and Kurt in front of Adelina Bishoff's mansion.

I notice this one over there too. I could see that Kurt had a relieved look on Laurenz's face that seemed awkward.

"Good, Master Laurenz. Safe..."

"Berta, why are you here with Jared?

"That's our dialogue. Laurenz, you, you got the information at the sorcerers' association, right?

I can tell Dennis' anticipation had hit Laurenz, who looked like a picture star and shut his mouth.

Looking around and exploring magic, there are only two great magic powers. It belongs to Laurenz and probably Adelina in the mansion.

Confirming that there is still no Barnabas does not reassure me, possibly because Pfile may have encountered it by now.

"You know how powerful Barnabas Kaif is, and you're here?

"Of course."

"Then I'll take you home even more. Suicide is not to be missed. Hey, Berta. Make good on your promises."

"I know. Come on, Master Laurenz, let's get back to the mansion. Kurt, help."

Berta grabs Laurenz's arm and pulls it hard. But Laurenz is not so powerless as to be pulled by the power of a girl either.

"Stop it, Berta. I've decided to take your revenge, Kevin. I don't care how much you get out of my way."

Jared punched Laurenz not to say his words to the end.

He punches his back against the wall, grabs Laurenz's collar and asks in an angry voice.

"I find it pitiful that your master was murdered. But I've come so far worried about you, knowing it's dangerous, Berta, and I've been by your side all this time.

"It is!

"I was worried, too. That's why I came to find you, no, to bring you back. Laurenz's anger is legitimate. You can never forgive the killer if he kills someone you care about. But now go back to the mansion, please."

"... So Barnabas is letting go wild?

Sounds like a repentant voice. Laurenz knows there's someone out there who can help him. Still, I don't think it's acceptable for the killer to be wild.

I know perfectly well the anger the admiring master was murdered. It's understandable, for example, that he's throwing an arrow or something that he wants to reward even if he wasn't hostile. But you can't do that. You can't live without it.

"I've already been arranged by the Society of Mages. No matter how powerful Barnabas is in defeating Minotaur, he can't escape anymore. You can't just leave the case that the former court magician candidate made behind."

At the moment, a court magician is hitting a key figure in the country as the exact movement of Barnabas cannot be inferred. But Barnabas doesn't show up like that. Both the Sorcerer's Association and the Royal Palace must know. Still just in case.

With clear evidence that his purpose is revenge, the court magician cannot move until there is no longer a chance. Conversely, if only the court magician could move, Barnabas would be gone.

No matter how much he was alone and strong, assuming he was stronger than a court sorcerer, if there were more than one person in the kingdom with the title of sorcerer to be given to the Twelve, the enemy would be good.

Neither Minotaur nor the dragon species can be defeated if they are in more than one, even if the court magician cannot defeat them alone. There may be sacrifices. But it's possible. And Barnabas is the same thing.

There are not only court magicians in the country. Some sorcery divisions they take command of on the battlefield, or knights who should be the same to think of their country, even if they are unfamiliar.

If Barnabas can still win against all of us, then this country is done. But he doesn't even have that much power.

Minotaur or dragon species can't lose their country.

"But I'm sorry if I don't take Master Kevin's revenge with these hands! I know it's stupid. I'm sorry to worry about Berta, Kurt, and Jared. Still, this anger won't subside!

"Then I can take you by force. I don't want to see you killed in this place by the ghost of a crappy power struggle."

Boost your magic so that you can be fully resisted whenever you want, and interfere with the spirits.

"Jared, please calm down. There's only one way you and Lawrence could have fought here!

"Yes, Murphy. What am I gonna do with losing my cool to you!

I regained my calm by listening to the twins. Yeah, there's nothing we can do but fight here. We have to leave as soon as possible, more than there is a chance that Barnabas will come to this scene while we are doing this.

I decided to defeat him as an enemy without any forgiveness or relief if I encountered him, but he's not clever enough to fight while worrying about his friends.

It doesn't have to be, but if we had a fancy sorcery fight in the area where the noble mansion is built, we wouldn't have figured out what the damage would be.

In the same sense, I do not want Barnabas and Adelina to fight in the aristocratic district either. But with regard to these two, I give up that the option of not fighting each other if we face each other does not exist. The battle will undoubtedly begin if we meet. Without thinking about damage or anything. At least Barnabas shouldn't mind.

I'd ask Adelina to win if she could, but even Dennis from the sorcerer's association decided that Adelina had a bad minute - maybe the result has already been decided.

"Take a deep breath, Laurenz. If you want revenge on Barnabas, that's fine. I'll help you, too. But not today. I can't fight because my magic is unstable and I need to stabilize it. Even you, you're not resting. With a body like that and a mental power dominated by anger, not very much, but Barnabas can't win."

"... that's not true -"

"You know that. But I can't stop being angry. The more I know it hurts. Still, swallow that anger now. Please. As a friend, please."

In response to begging Jared's words, Lanrenz pulls his strength out of his body, which he was forcing him to be as strong as he had given up.

"Okay. Let's go back."

"... good. Thank you, Laurenz."

Not only Jared, Berta and Kurt breathed relief watching what happened.

At least this will stop Laurenz from fighting Barnabas today. All you have to do is walk away from this place as soon as possible.

Within the unchanged mind of Laurenz, he tried to leave the aristocratic district, then...

"If you're a teenager, why don't you just do it?

An unfamiliar, somewhere cold voice reached Jared and the others.

Looking for the Lord of the Voice and shifting his gaze, one woman was assembling her arms in front of the Mansion Gate.

"From now on, Atashi will have to welcome an angry old friend. So, you guys - get out of the way."

I kept my silver blonde hair short aligned and was looking at this one just to say that a beautiful woman with an impressive forehead that hid her right eye was depressing.

She is the lord of the mansion and one of the targets Barnabas would be after.

- It was Adelina Bishoff of the eighth seat of the court magician, "Water Mirror".
