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

Jared was on his way to his grandparents' house, Baron Dowm's.

It's quite a distance from the Duke of Alway house, but Jared, who is trained as a fighter, can get there in less than a few minutes.

I'm not walking, not using a carriage. Many say that they are not aristocratic to Jared, who does not hesitate to choose the behavior of running.

Even my grandparents, though I don't say it by mouth, are flat over the walls in the mansion where they live, and look at Jared in trouble coming and going through the window.

From now on, I'm going to be a court magician, so it can't be like before. Honestly, I'm not going to change it, but we need to be careful not to be seen by third parties.

When the gatekeeper of the mansion confirms it's the face he sees, he exchanges greetings and jumps over the walls.

"Oh, aren't you Jared?

When he called his name and put the Lord of his voice into his sight, there was a delightful girl who cut her flax hair short.

"Lena Daum."

"I wonder if you could stop calling me by that full name. If you think it's cool, the other way around."

The girl dressed in a light blue dress, while emphasizing ease of movement, is Lena Daum. She is the sister of Yennie Daum and for Jared she becomes a cousin of the same age.

Jared doesn't really like her. Unlike Yenny, who admires me, I'm not compatible with Lena, who sticks up to me every time.

Lena, who was reunited with Jared, who escaped Almeida, was a total adult, but had a bad mouth and attitude.

I used to have constant buying words and talking fights about selling words, but now I decide not to deal with them.

You probably don't like the fact that your pretty sister admires Jared like her brother, but there's no sardine that Lena will talk to you about because it's communication with Yenny.

Once I told her that, she was as fierce as she had been on fire, so I tried not to talk to her since.

"You look better than anything. Well, I have business with your grandfather."

"Wait."

"... what can I do for you?

I don't want to spend my time on Lena because I'm waiting for people. Lena's expression distorts into anger because such an attitude has become obvious.

I was prepared to be shouted at, but contrary to Jared's expectations, Lena looked proud to change her expression.

"It's me, I've decided to get engaged. It's not official yet, but they're agreeing."

"Congratulations, then, because I have business to attend to"

"Listen to me till the end! My fiancée is your brother!

"Huh?"

I doubted my ears unexpectedly.

- What did this woman say now?

I struggle to understand why you looked like you did.

Jared's brother is two. I'm fourteen and thirteen.

I won't tell you not to get engaged to younger people, etc., but it depends on one or the other.

"I ask you once because you look like you want me to, which one?

"It's Rex!

"More than that..."

I realized that it was not compatible with Lena, who makes it.

Rex Daum, a thirteen-year-old boy who is a sideroom boy and three Barons of Daum.

I hate to say my brother bad, but he's selfish and arrogant. Strong and hostile to another brother with a mother who has become a regular room.

He is often troublesome with a weird electorate because he is the son of a side room who is making a leap toward letting his own son inherit the governor.

If you're going to give an extreme example, say flat out that you're great because you're noble. If this is the Duke's house, it may be exactly right, but the Baron's house, too, is frightened that it is something that emerging aristocrats can often say.

Even a father who is nothing but a sword and is not fooled by a woman does not consider himself to be a chosen being, even if he is proud to be a nobleman.

"... sure, I think Rex was stuck with Yenny... can I have a sister? Wow, that guy."

Maybe he's after my grandfather's inheritance. He's only thirteen years old and young, but he's very ambitious because of his mother.

"If your grandfather and grandmother admit it, that's fine. Happy."

Rex doesn't see Jared as his brother. So is his sister, and so is his mother. He doesn't look like a brother in the eyes of the Rex's, he just looks like a falling out who's his oldest son but can't even inherit the housekeeper.

I'm not going to let someone like Jared who doesn't like him either, so sometimes I leave him alone, so there won't be any improvement in the relationship. If Lena, who should know her brothers and sisters, chose Rex as her fiancée on purpose, I guess she doesn't quite like herself either.

I'm Yenny's sister, and I used to live with her, and as Jared, I was trying to walk over so she wouldn't even hate me if I couldn't get along, but I understood that everything was in vain when I saw this result.

trying to leave from before her that there was nothing more to talk about,

"Wait!

Somehow I get held back again.

"Neither your grandfather nor your grandmother will recognize you. But that's what Rex and I decided to do, so I'm not gonna let you complain."

"No, that's why I'm not complaining. Happy. Really, that's all."

"... you know, don't get on with it because you've decided to be a court magician. What a court magician. My uncle has no talent for swords!

"Can I go now?

"-! It must be a status acquired by the power of the Duke's house anyway!

There are things in the world that you can say and bad things even if you're joking. Lena's words undoubtedly made Jared uncomfortable.

It wasn't Jared who wanted to be a court magician this early.

It was on top of the death of a pathetic sorcerer named Barnabas Kaif and the deaths of family members serving Tres Brawell, who were irrelevant to the candidates for court sorcerer who were murdered by him, that he gained his place as court sorcerer.

It was an unforgivable dialogue, no matter how little we knew about the circumstances, when Barnabas said he ran to the crime because of the injustice.

Jared bites off his back teeth so painfully that he suppresses his anger.

It's easy to leave it up to emotions here to hit her with anger. But it's not worth it to her. I don't know what reason it makes me stick around and frustrate myself, but I didn't feel like dating anymore.

Without returning words, a glance at him with a cold gaze, Jared walks toward the mansion.

Lena was screaming something behind her back, but she overheard everything and dived through the mansion door.
