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

Karina darkens her expression.

"I honestly don't know if you kept your promise to Liz."

Karina like mocking herself. She has always loved and raised Jared like my child.

On nights I can't sleep, I let them read the book, and I haven't slept with them once or twice. I wasn't able to grow up separately from Loyk just because I kept my promise to Liz. Even if she didn't have a promise, she would have loved Jared the same way.

Thanks to her affection, Jared grew up healthy. Loyk and his brothers are close and admirable.

"Now you understand. Everything was perpetrated by Annette Padge and the Viscount of Padge."

"It's a lie, there's no way Liz would say that"

It was Johann who could not hide the upset that disputed Wahash.

"Why, you think so?

"It's..."

Asked why, Johann shook his neck sideways as he glanced at Jared for some reason.

"It's nothing. Proceed."

"Hmm. Well, fine. The plan to take over Viscount Padge's Baron Dowm house is still ongoing. Coincidentally there, Daum's granddaughter and Annette's son were engaged. It would have been unexpected, but it's a great opportunity."

It was only the other day that Lena Daum, Jared's cousin, and her brother Rex Daum suddenly declared themselves engaged without consulting their surroundings. My grandparents, as well as my uncle, disagree, but they are deaf to listen.

Olivier had heard from Yennie that Lena was putting her thoughts on Jared, and she knew the engagement was a hit, but she left it. On the other hand, Annette was also initially against it, but she probably does, but she agrees, as a result of considering the possibility that her youngest brother, his son, would not succeed the housekeeper.

It was the Viscount of Padge who was pleased with this.

The Baron Dowm family has no talent as far as possible as a successor. He has Hugo Daum, Johann's brother and father of Yennie and Lena, but he is not traced because he was born sick and weak. However, because of the excellent territorial management, his successor was named once, but he declined when he was thoroughly assisted by his successor.

For that reason, there is no successor to Baron Daum. Johann, his eldest son, was originally said not to let him succeed the governor, and he is interested in the emerging Baron family himself.

So Jared Murphy had become his successor in his own ignorance. But now that's hard too. Jared has decided to become a court magician, and at the same time is given the countenance.

If the title of the historic aristocratic Baron Daum family, which has supported the country from its founding, were ever higher, the story might have been different. But the masters of the history of the Baron Dowm family do not like the title being raised. Because if the title is raised, you won't be able to fight on the front line.

It is the same for the Baron Dowm family, who have contributed to the country by fighting, that it is no longer existential to be able to fight.

The current lord has also received talk from the Duke of Alway family about the promotion of the title, but has politely put in a no.

Under this circumstance, if the edger of the Viscount Padge family becomes the head of the Baron Dowm family, receiving the next talk of promotion to the title will give rise to a lot of titles. And we're planning on benefiting from it.

The Viscount Padge family has a shallow history, even if it doesn't even go as far as emerging aristocrats. That's why I want the historic Baron Doom family. And all in all, the Viscount Padge family went up - an ambition that is shallow, but not impossible.

"Ma'am. The Viscount Padge family is a faction of the Duke of Alway family. Such a takeover is hostile. Be punished. It's too risky!

Johann is not wrong either.

The Viscount Padge family is a faction of the Duke of Alway, just like the Baron Dowm family. With that edge, Johann turned Annette into a sideroom.

Above all, if the Duke of Alway trusts him and tries to take over the Baron Dowm family as his advisor, etc., there's no way Viscount Padge can just do it. So special to the Duke family is a family called Daum.

"To be precise, the Viscount Padge family is a faction of the former Duke of Alway family. Now incorporated into the rival Marquis faction. When it comes to takeover, it's a move because the interests of the Viscounts of Padge and the Marquis coincide."

Not only did Johann, but the Oliviers didn't follow through with their thoughts on the facts revealed from Wahash one after another.

My father didn't think Liz Murphy's cause of death was so profound. In my arms, I worry about Jared, who is stunned without saying a word. What does he think and feel now that he is shocked?

"That's all I know."

"I mean, Viscount Padge originally wanted to take over my father's house and married Annette to me. And as part of the takeover, we eliminated the disturbing Liz and forced Jared into the facility - right?

"That's right. Therefore, I ask you not to stand in my way"

"Are you going to kill Annette?

"Whatever. But it's not just Annette Padge. Kill everything involved in the Viscount Padge family, including Rex Dowm, Claire Dowm and Lena Dowm"

Everyone complains about Wahash's decision.

Even Jared, who was stunned in Olivier's arms, had his eyes wide open.

"Take Liz's enemies together, Johann?

"I don't deserve to do that. But please, the kids must miss it."

Johann knelt down and drowned.

But Wahash's expression is cloudy. He's not convinced.

"The kids are just involved. As for Lena, she's not even Annette's child. Please."

"No. Kill all those involved, without exception"

My father-in-law cut my stepson's plea and threw it away.

Johann dyed of despair. He has never shown visible affection. It's not just about Jared, it's about Loyk and the other kids, it's about minimal engagement. Still, I had enough love for my child to kneel and beg.

"Jared - My grandson, what do you do? With me, you don't want to take my mother's revenge?
