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

Jared moistened his throat with tea prepared by the association staff and sandwiched a few minutes of small rest, smiling with a full smile and dropping off Allie, who exchanged greetings and left. In the meantime, keep an eye on the last interviewer's material.

For Jared, the next step is fate.

But let me get this straight - I don't need a secretary or anything.

He had not yet officially become a court magician, and sometimes the importance of the secretary was only communicated orally, even questioning the secretary's raison d 'être.

Earlier conversations with Allie made it understandable that the presence of the secretary would be a wall against the nobility and smugness that would come to a position of court magician.

I mean, let the secretary through, you can say. Of course, it is a polar theory.

I understand the secretary's role, and I've figured out that you should stay, but I still think you don't have to be, maybe because Jared has a lonely temperament.

Aside from everyday behavior, Jared prefers to be single and challenged in the fight. Sometimes we fought together, and we actually did.

When I fought the adventurer with my classmate, local attribute mage Laurenz Herring, I remember that he had been thorough with his aides and was easy to fight. It's also because Jared was the only one who did the fighting.

Dolph Ein led the battle against the Vault Toyfer rebels, which was also a joint battle, but the basics were just a battle against the opponents to be fought each.

The same goes for the Baron Dowm family fight the other day. I fought alongside Wahash and my father Johan, but it was a simple thing to add only the enemy in front of me. Above all, the battle against Wahash, who has more strength than Jared, and his father, who is said to be comparable to his grandfather, who is called the god of God if only the sword, never got in the way of each other.

But I wonder what about the secretary.

Ernesta Kaif withholding the interview from now on. The dossier states that he is an excellent mage, and that he is the person the secretary deserves if only his abilities are also from the church.

It's limited in terms of ability, needless to say, because Jared killed her brother, Barnabas Kaif, for a reason.

I don't know what Ernesta thinks of Jared the Avenger. You'll find out from now on. I felt nervous because of it.

It's not uncommon to be resented. At the request of the association as a mage, he is hostile and sometimes raided by adventurers. To them, a sorcerer is a neglected existence.

Jared, a student at the Royal School, is jealous, even if he doesn't have to be resented by his students. Anyway, I've been recommended by the association and I'm exempt from classes. The average student, of course, can't be funny about the same magician student.

I kept ignoring such bad feelings until now. I was engaged to Olivier, and when she spoke ill of her, I was also angry, but I never dealt with her, even if I cared about the ill intentions directed at me. Laurenz suffered because of it, but I can tell you that it was a delightful miscalculation that we were friends as a result.

And today - Jared faces the first human family to take his life.

It's not the first time I've taken a life. It's never something you can be proud of, but it's something you've done to live, and if you're on the same scene, you won't hesitate to kill again. Some of them had no other option but to kill with villains than they could help.

- So, what about Barnabas Kaif?

As the same magician, you deserve respect.

He was unfairly treated by Count Brawell while being selected as a candidate for court magician. Then, as a result of becoming an adventurer and continuing to train himself - he gained the strength to defeat the Lord Minotaur of the Labyrinth alone.

If I hadn't fallen into it, I would have been a magician in the country by now. The young magician must have admired him, made him his goal, and his comrades must have been able to safely keep their backs.

But it didn't.

He became a vengeful man.

I could not be a court magician and knew that there had been injustice, mourning, suffering, and hatred.

As a result, Barnabas still seeks revenge even with the power to admit that everyone is a strong man, raids his contemporaries and court magician Tres Brauel, and kills his family. I also killed all but Jared's candidates for court magician.

There is no more Barnabas Kaif, a former court sorcerer candidate, who has fallen for revenge and murderer.

Jared met Adelina Bishoff, a court magician, to hear the truth about things and fight Barnabas in order to stop Laurenz, who had abandoned himself for killing a human being who was a master.

Jared killed him to stop his assault, to avoid hurting a close person.

I have no regrets. I think I did the right thing. But sometimes I wonder if there was a different solution.

"Murphy, is it time for you?

Diving into the sea of thought, he regains consciousness in the knocks and voices of his officials.

"Excuse me, then let the last one through"

"Yes, sir."

Jared, who received a reply over the door, put the Ernesta material on his desk and drank all the tea. Ringing his throat, he stares at the door and waits as he senses fluid flowing through his stomach.

I heard a knock.

"Go ahead."

If you reply briefly,

"Excuse me."

A husky woman's voice is reached and the door is opened.

It was a beautiful woman who showed up. A semi-long gray hair for a restful look. Bi's eyes peeking straight at this one from between his hair. My back length is small, but I knew right away that I was good at walking.

Wearing a white blouse on a dark green skirt, she thanked Jared for standing in front of her across the table.

"I'm Ernesta Kaif. I applied to be a secretary. Regards, Jared Murphy."
