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

"It's a lie."

I couldn't accept my father's words and Jared roughed up my voice.

"I was never a good father, I'm sorry. But it's true."

"No! You got married because you wanted to take advantage of my mother's position! And yet you're not telling lies like you made that!

I've heard many stories about my father's lack of comfort since I lost my mother. Because of that, my father doesn't have to mind, he doesn't have to be interested - rather, I even thought I'd hate him from here.

You can't be convinced to say that you loved my mother now, that you loved yourself, etc.

"I know you have such a story for me. But think about it. Liz is resigning as a court magician at the same time as her marriage and returning her title as well. Of course, I have the title and influence of a former court magician, but I can't do whatever I want because I have a magician's church. Not available, not even"

Maybe Johan is right. My father acted as a knight and merited until he earned the Baron. But ever since I married my mother, I have lived my days without doing anything special as a normal knight. The words and actions of an ambitious man, at least, are not seen.

I heard everywhere that I used my mother, but I also doubt that my memorable mother would be so easily used.

But not now. It's all we have now.

"In the end, I'm sorry I got to pinch your mouth again and again. Hey, Jared. How did you know your father was using your mother?

"Everyone said. Not only do I remember the Chinese in my grandfather's mansion, but I also remember hearing it from Annette here, speaking of which."

"Yes. Regardless of the authenticity, what you heard in your childhood has been imprinted. So, father-in-law, why didn't you deny or do anything while you heard that you were married to use Master Liz?

In Olivier's most enquiry, Johan opened his mouth as he remembered the past.

"Liz wanted my blood, as I told you earlier. But interestingly enough, rumors of the opposite circulated. So I thought about hiding the rumor."

"Don't you dare spoil bad rumors to keep the outside world informed that Mr. Liz used you?

"Yeah, I didn't mind if it was for Liz. Olivier, you too want to protect yourself at your expense, and you should have no hesitation in acting that way."

"I understand. Because I used to be, too. Your father-in-law loved you so much, Liz."

Once Liz tried to protect her mother by using even bad rumors about herself. I turn my empathetic attention to the fact that Johann spoiled to protect Liz and still didn't deny being affixed the rettel of a man who used his wife.

"Of course it is. But I loved Liz, and I lied."

"You mean Jared's talent."

"Yeah, that's right. There were two reasons, because Liz had served her purpose and she was afraid to leave me. The other is because Liz didn't know how to treat Jared."

The last word was addressed to Jared, not Olivier.

"What did my mother think she was gonna do to me?

"I didn't believe it would be a bad thing. But it's not like I wasn't anxious. I knew the kid Liz was looking for. But I didn't even know what I wanted to do with that kid."

Therefore, I lied. By saying he was not talented, he tried clumsily to protect his beloved son so that his beloved wife wouldn't turn away.

"It was painful to lie. The same goes for Liz, but I also worried that I narrowed your future. What was surprising was that Liz was blatant. When I told him I wasn't the talented kid I was looking for, I also feared I'd lose interest in you. But that didn't happen. You don't have to be talented to be cute. If you're fine, I said that's fine. I was laughing."

"Um, I understand when it comes to hiding your talents, but how can you not make Jared the head of the Baron Dowm family?

"It's a promise to Liz that you won't let her inherit the title. I want Jared to escape the sign of nobility, I want him to live free - it was Liz's few wishes. My son lied that he didn't have the talent of a sword, so I convinced my surroundings to do so on the grounds of that."

If you're going to draw the blood of the Baron Dowm family, which is called the Sword Clan, you don't have to be convinced if you're told you don't have the talent for swords.

But the questions are endless.

"Wait, then why did your grandfather give me the sword's guide?

Even though it was the foundation, my grandfather let me hold the sword and learn. He was Jared, who assumed he had no talent, but thanks to his grandfather's guidance, he became instrumental in putting the sword into practice.

It's hard to say that I can still use the sword technique enough to be satisfied, but still enough to gain strength if I hold the sword in action.

"There's no way my father, called the Ghost of the Sword, could have just lied to my mouth."

"Your grandfather was aware of your lies... and that's why you took me?

"That's right. Only my father and mother, no, maybe my brother, were angry with me for discerning your sword talent and declaring that he would not take it upon himself next time. Of course, there's no way I can say why. If I do that, Liz will be the bad guy. Around here, I may have been limited by my father, but I didn't mind. But when I found out that my father was thinking about taking your trail, I thought I'd leave it with an acquaintance."

Of course it may have been the hard part of remembering my lost wife when I was watching Jared. But that wasn't all.

"The acquaintance was a man of witchcraft. I thought that person would nurture the magic, magic talent that Liz inherited. I'm sorry you're missing."

Ironically, as a result, Jared meets and becomes an apprentice with a magician who can be called the best.

The training was harsh and painful, but given much knowledge, skill, and affection.

I have resented my father before, but I am grateful for Luther's encounter with Almeida.

"I've always wondered why you tried to get Jared engaged to me, hoping to free him from his nobility?

"... forgive me for being disrespectful"

"I don't mind."

"There's a problem. By getting you engaged to Olivier, Jared would raise the roots, but he wanted you to either break the engagement. For that reason, I wanted to turn down my future as an aristocrat in earnest - and at the same time to keep it away from the Baron Dowm family, including my father, because there was so much uncertainty about Liz's death."
