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

"Does that mean I'm underpowered? I do know that it is immature. If you're dissatisfied, I don't know if you'll take it on, but my master is letting you stay, so it's temporary, but I can ask Konrat to give you some guidance -"

"No, it's not. Wait. That's not it. Sorry about the way I put it."

Jared is bewildered by the bitter Duke.

"A court magician I know does not make a talented person a disciple unless it is a person who has the potential to carry on his own sorcery. Alternatively, they may guide people who are not as profound as their mentorship among the people they work for, but who are good at putting their people together."

"The current Konrat will not be the first to be a subordinate of Lord Murphy. And there is no possibility of succeeding you, the earthly attribute mage"

"That may be so...... aren't you overthinking it?

Konrat, son of the Duke of Alway, will never become a formal Jared apprentice. Jared himself is not willing to be a disciple, even if it is a good idea to teach a Konrat that does not yet have direction. Jared's thoughts remain unchanged from the beginning, as he is still immature as a magician, no matter how much he will become a court magician.

The court sorcerer's men have a sorcery division, but in the Dukes' words, it sounded as if Konrat would not join the sorcery division.

Even the Duke knows that when he was young, he was active on the front lines as a Knights member, so the treatment of Konrat remains questionable.

Develop your talent as a magician and train in witchcraft, including in real life formats. But you can't be in the Magic Division.

Of course, it's not easy to be a part of the sorcery division, but I think it would be possible in the future with a contort blessed with magic and talent.

And that's all that comes to mind behind Jared's brain.

- Perhaps the Duke's house is just a contort?

That being the case, it is understandable to give them the means to defend themselves and to avoid acting as full mages, even if they gain strength as mages.

Nobody wants to risk picking up the trail.

Therese says he can't be a disciple because of his current Konrat position and the differences due to his attributes, but I felt the Duke was saying things from a more different perspective.

"As far as we're concerned, I'd appreciate it if you could take care of Konrat like this. But that doesn't benefit you. In the worst case scenario, if what you are teaching Konrat spreads around, at the end of the day, more people will sign up with themselves"

"Don't worry about it there, because I'm not teaching magic to Konrat just because I think about the pros and cons. I'm Olivier's brother, and I'm interested in how far Konrat will grow as a magician myself. And..."

"And?"

Jared grinned shyly.

"Even if I decide to be a court magician, I don't really feel it. I am and will remain the same. So please, don't worry about me, Konrat. Think about you first."

"Is that okay with Jared?

"If you're looking out for us, you don't mind, do you?

"That's not true. If you weren't going to take it, you wouldn't have taken it from the beginning, so it's true."

When I answered without lying or falsely, I could see that the Dukes were visibly relieved.

I'm sick and tired of thinking that being a court magician can also be a hassle to teach someone magic.

I'm honestly glad to be recognized, but the price of gaining status may be huge.

"Thank you, Jared. Please keep asking for my son."

"Lord Murphy, I sincerely thank you. Please, thank you for your interest in the Konrat."

"Brother, thank you for your continued guidance!

The three parents and children thanked me, and Jared made me pull my cheeks.

The sight of the Duke's house hanging around and bowing its head isn't what it looks like. I guess the dukes are from pure feelings, but my stomach is starting to ache.

Anyway, get your head up and wait for your stomach ache to subside.

"Little by little, but I want to tell you that I can teach Konrat right up to the end of what I did once. Above all, don't worry, I will never lose money because doing so will allow me to re-learn myself. Mr. Konrat, I'm still being nice right now, but I'm going to make it tough, so be prepared."

"Yes!"

I smile at the contort I intend to.

It will be up to him and the Duke to make it tough or not.

Sooner or later, it may be time to know what position Konrat will take in the Duke of Alway.

"I didn't know I could continue to master Lord Murphy, who will be a court magician... good for you, Konrat"

"Thank you again, Jared. Don't hesitate to do anything in the future if you have any problems. I'll give you my full support."

"Welcome, thank you"

I didn't think they would say full support, etc., so the confusion is bigger.

Because I'm Olivier's fiancée, I thought I'd done well for her brother and her family. Regardless, as a magician, I am also certain that I am concerned about the future of Konrat.

But I didn't expect this to be an exaggeration either.

In becoming a court magician, Jared, unable to hide his confusion from his ever different surroundings, will soon consult with active court magicians Adelina Bishoff and Tres Brawell - that's what he thought.
