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

Together with the contort that went into the break surrounding the table.

Therese told his son what he had just told the Jareds, needless to say he was happy to speak up.

But it's not that easy.

That it is only the opinion of Therese, the mother, and not the will of Harald, the Duke of Alway homeowner. Konrat was stabbed in the nail and regained his calm, not to do anything rushing than make Rosa's feelings clear either.

Still, I must have been glad that my mother didn't disagree with me.

Jared tells Konrat that his witchcraft training is sure to encourage him to grow, and hopes he will continue his efforts, including swordsmanship. At the same time, I didn't know if I could do it once a week, not just by individuals, but invited them to train with me whenever possible.

Of course Konrat was happy. He kept training, as he was told straight away, but he's still fourteen. It should have been painful to keep repeating the same thing forever. But you can't be unhappy because you are allowed to grow and move on to the next stage.

"... I'm sorry, Olivier, Jared, I need to talk to you guys for a second"

As Jared and Konrat were talking about witchcraft, Harald quietly broke in.

It's not my fault I'm in a hurry somewhere.

"Would you mind?

"Father, what's wrong?

"I think it's going to be a little bit of a story, so let's talk in my study"

Maybe it's about Rosa. All this time the Duke never said anything in particular about his son's thinkers. I didn't disagree, but I didn't even agree.

But when I came here, all of a sudden Jared and Olivier were the only ones I had to talk to, so Conrad looked anxious.

"Don't worry about that, Konrat. It's not about you or the people you think about."

I noticed my son changing his expression. When Harald said a word, there was a clear relief in the Konrat.

Following Harald, who takes his seat, Jared and the others also move. Entering the mansion from the back, the Duke's leg stops perfectly when he said he was headed to the study. When asked what was going on, he put an obviously puzzled look on his face,

"I'm in trouble"

That's what I said.

"Father, what's the trouble? Didn't you mean Rosa?

My father affirms his daughter's question in small measure.

Ha, and Olivier exhaled like a fright.

"If you don't like it, why don't you make it clear that you don't like it? I feel sorry for Konrat for saying things that make me feel better."

"That's not true."

"Then what are you saying? Maybe you don't like Rosa, but you should have a louder voice wanting that kid from another house than you are making a statement of intent that Konrat won't win. Konrat has the only magic power in the Duke's house and the talent to be a magician."

There must be more voices wanting a contort than the other brothers.

"I know what you're trying to say"

"Is that true? If it's enough to get you politically married to the person you're after for magic, maybe you should just think of it as taking in the best blood into the clan. Unexpectedly - no, I'm lucky Rosa wasn't much better, and I don't think it's a bad story."

Olivier defends for his brother, but Jared couldn't agree with both lets go.

Of course, I think it would be best if Conrad's thoughts were to come true. But the biggest problem is that Rosa is the daughter and one of the successors to Wahash, the head of Vault Toyfer.

Perhaps if the Duke cares about Rosa, I assume the same thing.

"No, it's not."

"Then what do you say is the problem?

"At this point, I'm going to say it because it's the two of us, but I want to ask for nothing else. Like?"

I nodded in a serious voice.

"Until now, I've been vague about my successor, but it's actually been decided"

"- Hello."

"My successor... is Konrat."

"-"

Olivier is not the only one. Jared also lost his word again.

Until now, the Duke had publicly declared that he would choose the governor from among his sons. Therefore, the side chambers, including Cornelia, were taking my son as their successor.

But who would have thought that Harald had already chosen a successor?

"Oh, Father... have you decided that Konrat is your successor yet?

"It is decided in me. Olivier, I'm sorry. I got you and Hanne involved in an ugly housekeeper fight because I didn't make it clear, and Trane and Jared. I don't expect to be forgiven for apologizing, but I sincerely apologize"

"You can believe there's a reason, right?

"Absolutely. As you know, now is the time to find out that Hanne or whoever was trying to do you harm was Cornelia, but not until now. If I told anyone that Konrat was my successor, no doubt that kid would have been targeted again. That's why I couldn't tell you."

Jared understood the Duke's feelings, not to mention whether Olivier heard his father's words and was convinced.

It must have been a bitter decision.

If we revealed about Konrat, there is no doubt that Cornelia Alway would have targeted his life. Even if he didn't know he was the successor, only because his father was eyeing him, because Konrat, who has publicly declared that he will not be the successor, has been targeted for his life by a party of Dolph Eins.

If I had publicly spoken of Konrat, it could have been the end of the struggles of the Oliviers, but now I can only guess. But given that Cornelia madness, Hannellone shouldn't have been off target.

The only child Hannellone had in the first place was Olivier, who had decided not to succeed him because she was a woman. Either way, my life would have continued to be targeted by the position of a regular room.

"I wanted to protect Konrat by not nominating a successor, at least until I was an adult."

To my father's monologue, Olivier was just losing his word.
