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

It was Dennis Beckman, an associate of the Society of Mages, who welcomed Jared and Torres, who showed up at the Society of Mages.

"Lord Dennis, I'm sorry to bother you"

"I'm out of time, Mr. Brawell. Murphy, come on, this way."

Tres, a court magician, looks familiar with his staff, Dennis, and greets him with ease. Both have respect for the other person - that's the impression I got.

Jared and the others in the reception room offered to prepare tea and told Dennis, who sat face-to-face across the table, the secretary's story.

Then, it was the apology that emanated from him.

"I'm so sorry I'm late to tell you. Murphy, I knew you had a situation, so as a sorcerer's association, I was going to talk to you after I settled down."

"No, don't apologize. Instead, I'm sorry this one made you pay attention"

It is usual for information to be misleading. In one of Cornelia's cases, he cut me off from private, but two people moved to court magicians, and there's no way the sorcerers association didn't know.

The recent disturbance in the Baron Dowm family also saw the Duke and Baron families act together, and the verdict death of the Viscount and Marquis humans in captivity was decided, and the house was destroyed. The Royal Palace also conveys not all the details to this.

"What about moving on where we apologized to each other? I'm sure you'll keep apologizing for this, won't you?

Jared and Dennis look troubled too, brokered by bitter Torres, then laugh small. And I got to the point.

"Then just now. We've already heard from a number of magicians who want a secretary."

"Is that true?

It was Jared who surprised me. Torres is still nodding, as he expected.

"Of course it is. But we've narrowed it down to five at the association."

"That helps. But are you glad?

"I don't mind. A lot of people wanted to get close to Murphy."

"Wow."

Torres and Dennis laughed nostalgically at Jared, who had a blatantly fed up look as to whether that meant something.

"I miss you, it was the same when I was you. I knew you looked like Jared."

"Right. Every time, there are people desperate to connect with court magicians."

The court magician does not appear every year. Therefore, the birth of a court magician for the first time in years will be a topic of discussion, no matter how bad.

"In your case, Murphy, I'm engaged to Olivier Alway, but some people want to tie the edge, including that. Because your fiancée is a lady of the Duke's house, there are never many people who think that."

"I want to connect with the Duke's house, that's all?

"That's all, not many of you say. It would certainly be fascinating to have an edge with the Duke's family. But more than that - if you'll excuse me, there are many parents who think that Olivier Alway has a good relationship with Olivier Alway, with whom there are bad rumors, and Murphy, with her own daughter. You finally want to push the kid with the problem."

Give me a break, I think. You must look bitter just because you didn't say it the most.

"Some of them approached me by becoming a secretary from the desire that they might take care of themselves rather than be commanded by their parents, and wanted to bond. There were a lot of voices from people who weren't magicians who wanted secretaries, but in many cases, they were heartless. You don't need to stick to magicians if you're a good person, but as an association, you can't push someone to the secretary who has something to include. Therefore, we have narrowed it down to five."

"Thank you. It really helped."

I get dizzy just listening. I don't mean to be hairy if I'm not a magician, but I have trouble getting close with my lower heart.

There must have been a fair amount of voices wanting a secretary just to listen to Dennis. If I had looked through every single one of them, when the hell would it have been decided?

"Of course, I have trouble getting revenge on you, Murphy, so I am sure the association has dropped it at its discretion, and I will not share the name of the candidate with Murphy."

"Thank you overlapping"

"No, because this is the work of the Sorcerer's Association"

Jared sincerely thanked Dennis and the Society of Mages for their care.

"Well, Lord Dennis, I actually have someone I'd like to recommend to the secretary."

"If you recommend Brawell, I'd be happy to hear it."

This is Ernesta Kaif.

The moment I named her, Dennis nodded convincingly. And when you move your gaze from Torres to Jared,

"I mean, Murphy, are you in a bad position for her?

And ask.

Jared affirmed without falsehood.

"I thought I was sorry, but they told me what was going on and accepted me."

"Was I? Mr. Murphy came to the sorcerers' association with Mr. Brawell, so I thought, hello. As a matter of fact, I knew that Mr. Brawell had spoken to the staff of the association about Ernesta Kaif. We want to improve her situation here, so we're not going to leave her alone."

"Bye -"

"Prior to that, Ernesta Kaif herself was running for secretary to Murphy."

"Huh?"

Was it Jared, Torres, or both that surprised me?

I didn't even have to nominate Ernesta from here, I didn't dream of running for secretary, etc.

"I don't think so, Lord Dennis"

"Yes, of the five people we narrowed down here, we have her name"

Jared has no words. So much so that I wonder if I can get rid of it by chance.

"If you think about Lord Barnabas Kaif, I wonder what the circumstances might be for running for your secretary, Murphy, but if you skip that, you're judging him to be an excellent person. But it's also true that I still have trouble with her because I don't know her true intentions."

"I guess..."

The only voice I could finally squeeze was that.

You can't tell what she thought and tried to be Jared's secretary, etc. You just wanted to be a secretary, to improve your position, or...

Jared wasn't the only one confused, and Tres and Dennis were the same.

After they had spoken, the three decided to meet each of the five chosen by the Society of Mages, including Ernesta Kaif.
