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

Now everyone's going out of line - that didn't mean. Because, given Annette's temperament, there were aspects that would convince me.

Even Olivier, who was the first person to meet, was not surprised, so Annette's personality is more than problematic.

"How could Annette do that..."

However, questions remain.

It was Johan who shook his voice in anger. I can't help it. He tried to keep Jared away, but he was trying to keep it with a trusted acquaintance. I didn't even know you had a son in an illegal assassination facility until I heard about it earlier. And Johan's heart was in intense regret and self-loathing because he says it was the side room that took that step.

I can't help but wonder if I should have tried to keep my son away, but it's already over. No matter how much you regret it, no matter how much you blame yourself, you can't change the past.

"I looked into it and there were multiple reasons, but I wanted to make my son the head of the Baron Dowm family. It is a common story that is foolish, but not uncommon for nobles"

Wahash is right, it's a very common story.

In an aristocratic society, the lord of that clan is the aristocrat. A man who did not tell the governor is noble and not noble - even he who thinks so.

There are differences between clans, such as when the eldest son succeeds the governor, or when a brilliant child succeeds, but the common denominator is that everyone wants to take their child for the lead.

It doesn't matter if it's a regular room or a side room. It's not uncommon for a child in a normal room to fail to take the lead.

"And Jared was in the way to take my child for the lead. Jared, who said he had no talent and affirmed that he would not let the Lord succeed him, was in the way."

"Why! I said Jared wouldn't let me take the lead! You're not a successor!

"Still. Jared, Liz's son and eldest son, who was a regular room, probably looked a threat to her. And one of the motives behind your father's choice of Jared as his own successor."

Jared was impressed like the rest of HR.

But I don't care anymore. That my mother was suicidal, that my mother-in-law, who admired my mother's death, was involved, that my kind family had joined in to drive herself - everything was heavy.

If I hadn't felt Olivier's warmth on my skin, I would have stayed away from this scene, by the way.

Without realizing Jared's mood like that, the story proceeds brutally.

"Above all, Annette Dowm - no, you should call it this, Annette Padge was ordered to take over the Baron Dowm family from the Viscount Padge family of the living house"

"No way, that's..."

Johan was flabbergasted by the fact of his wife, whom he had never known.

I know Wahash has no reason to lie to himself. So far, I've only met him to the extent that I count him, but while he's the head of the assassination organization Vault Toyfer, a man named Wahash is - honest.

Regardless, I'm no better than being in an organization that kills people.

Still, Johann Daum's known man named Wahash was a horribly honest and necessary man.

If killing people is simply to be considered evil, my father, including Johann, and even Jared become evil men.

I don't know the full story of Vault Toyfer, but I also understand that assassination groups are necessary in this complex era.

Wahash, who leads that organization, is the father of his beloved wife Liz, who lies to herself - and you don't need to lie to her like you don't even get it. While I know that, I can't even accept it.

"It's a fact. You wouldn't say you don't like it because in the process of taking over, your son's future is promised. Except Liz was in the way. No matter how much you resign as a court magician and return your title, your title as a former court magician is strong. That's more than you can deal with, such as the Viscounts."

"Is that why you tried to kill me? But there's no way you can kill Liz like that."

"Exactly. Even the same court magician cannot kill his daughter. However, Annette Padge seems to have been a bit of a short-circuit thinker."

Wahash, once he stops the words, turns his gaze to Karina.

Whenever the facts were coming to light, her complexion was getting worse.

"Don't worry, Karina Daum. Me and Vault Toyfer promise to protect you and your son."

"... really, is it?

"You were used. If they threaten my beloved son, it's tantamount to no choice. I have sympathy for your plight. Therefore, let us vow to protect Annette Padge and his associates"

"... thank you"

Nodding at Karina, who bowed her head deeply, Wahash uttered words again toward Johann.

"Annette Padge tried to kill Liz. However, he didn't like to get his hands dirty. That's where they chose Karina Daum - you."

Karina affirmed, without silence this time as her gaze gathered.

"Exactly. Annette threatened her son's life and ordered me to poison Liz. I couldn't refuse to do it."

"But I failed. Right?

"Yes, now I know why, but I was surprised at Liz, who was poisoned at the time but flat out. But I was just as relieved. I admired you like a sister, and I'm glad you didn't put your hands on Liz, who was starting to adore you like a sister."

As you look back on the past, Karina speaks.

It was as if I was thinking clearly of the time, exhaling in relief.

"But as it was, I was frightened, trembled, and cried when Loyk was harmed by Annette, and Liz asked me what was going on and revealed everything. I didn't know what to do, but I wanted to do something. But you shouldn't have."

Supported by her son, Karina let her body tremble into small pieces in sorrow and anger.

"Liz said to me, explaining everything and begging forgiveness. I know because I have the same son I love. And if you make only two promises - to turn down your own life,"

Including Wahash, I don't even want to miss hearing Karina's words word by word and kill her breathing.

Everyone wanted to know why Liz died.

"The promise seemed very Liz. One is to love and raise Mr. Jared as my real child. The other thing was to love and support your husband to the point of Liz."
