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

As Jared was out of the room, a bewildered looking royce stood in the hallway.

"What's up?

"Um, brother, my sister looked amazing right now..."

"Never mind. More than that, don't you have to be around your mother?

I didn't want to be alone, given Karina's mental state. It's hard for Jared to be by her side right now, so I thought his son, Loyk, was fit, but when that brother was here, I wondered if something had happened.

"He wants me to be alone now. I asked him to lie down in my room."

"Good for you. Thanks."

Jared is not the only one who was physically and mentally exhausted.

There is not much to observe Karina's mood, which has carried a heavy burden for many years. I was finally able to expose everything. I know it's hard, but I want you to live without being tied up in the past anymore.

"Um."

"Loyk?"

My brother, unable to hide his anxiety, was a little surprised because he suddenly raised his voice out loud.

I want to talk about something, but I can't put it into words well. When I notice my brother like that, I gaze in front of him and wait for the words.

"Take it easy, say it. It's okay, you can say anything you want."

"Brother, I can't tell you to forgive my mother. I know what a big deal you've done. But..."

"You can rest assured. I don't resent your mother."

Jared assures me to erase my brother's anxiety.

In fact, I don't resent Karina. I know she was suffering again, too, and more importantly, she was given love. I can't stop resenting you.

"The bad news is Annette. Your mother was threatened, not to worry. Don't worry about Loyk, just think about your mother."

"Thank you, brother"

You're relieved. I'll hold hands with Lloyd, who'll tear, and I'll send him to Karina's room. I'm not going in there. Because I know that if I see myself, it will be a burden to Karina. At the same time, although I didn't resent him, Jared still didn't have the courage to be suitable.

When you see Loyk enter the room,

"Thank you for waiting, Olivier."

"It's okay. Let's go to your father-in-law's room."

Without uttering a word, I just headed to my father's study with my fiancée who was there for me.

"Have you calmed down, Jared... was Olivier with you?"

"I won't talk unless I have a parent-child fight."

"No, I don't mind. I wanted you, Jared's fiancée, to hear it too. Thank you for coming."

Johann urges me to sit down with Olivier on the couch for three. Pinch the table and Johan sits face to face.

"I'll make you some tea now."

"No, don't worry. Tell us more than that."

"… Now let me sweeten your words"

Johan took a small, deep breath and opened his teasing mouth as he turned his gaze to his son and fiancée.

"I'll tell Jared why I've been doing what I've been doing. Olivier, I'd love to hear it from you."

Yes, I preface and talk.

"As my father-in-law Wahash said earlier, I have affection for you as a parent. I can't possibly not love you born between you and Liz, the woman I loved the most. At the same time - Jared, it was hard watching you."

"Is that because I remind you of my mother?

"There's that too. But it's not. I loved Liz. But Liz was after my body."

"- What?"

I wondered what to say with a heartbroken look, and Jared gave a dumb voice.

Olivier seemed the same, not to his voice, but he looked confused.

"No, that was a bad way to put it now. Liz wanted - to combine her talent as a magician with the sword of the Baron Dowm family, no, combat ability. I wanted a child who was superior to both witchcraft and combat skills. That's why I was chosen. I wasn't loved by Liz."

Jared couldn't understand my father's words. No, I thought it was something I would never do.

Until now, it was my father, Johann Daum, who used the mother of court magicians and gained status. But it's the opposite of what my father told me. My mother Liz asked for and used my father's blood.

You can't believe it.

"Mothers are sacred to their children. I know that. But it's true. Even if Liz didn't love me, I loved her with all my heart. So I got married, and I made kids as I wanted. That's you."

"Oh, father-in-law, is that story true?

"Of course, Olivier. You can't lie or anything on this occasion. Dead Liz and my life, I promise you, it's the truth. But don't get me wrong. Liz had no love for me. [M] But my love for Jared was real. We got married and became husband and wife. Liz quit her role as a court magician, returned the title, and supported me. But the more Liz behaved as a wife, the harder it was for me not to be loved."

Olivier assumed that Johann still loved Liz. Every word is emotional. Love and sadness that was not loved. And perhaps complicated thoughts about Jared. It all comes through.

"And Jared was born. It was a pleasure. It wasn't worth the age, and Liz and I were delighted like idiots. But unfortunately for me, you were the child Liz wanted."

"No way -"

Olivier noticed and raised her voice in place of Jared, who was thorough in listening to her father. Johan nods.

"Once I told young Jared I had no sword talent, but that was a lie"

"Were you lying?

Johan affirms to Jared, who asks in a squeezing voice.

"Yes, Jared. You have a gift. My talent for combat, not just swords, would exceed my father's, of course. And Liz, you're a child of extraordinary talent for unsatisfactory magic, multiple magic attributes."
