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

Jared Murphy was finishing a big story with Duke of Rüdiger homeowner Hugo Rüdiger.

The excessive love he has for his daughter, Lily Rüdiger, feels wrapped in surprise and bitter laughter, or just a little envy.

Jared was unfriendly with his father. For reasons related to my mother's death, my own birth, etc., I understand that there was nothing else. It was good to hear from my father that he meant it and knew it wasn't that he wasn't loved.

That's not why the father-son relationship was repaired.

Originally, the relationship was so rare that repair was not necessary that even in the form of reconciliation, he would be decapitated when asked if the father and son were better friends afterwards.

Unlike before, I was able to know that my father loved me. I also found out that I love my mother. Nowadays, we also exchange letters from time to time - to that extent.

This is not a question of forgiveness or not forgiveness anymore.

More than the relationship between father and son was broken from the beginning, we just have to find out our true intentions, try to reconcile, and build a new relationship.

But a new relationship is hard. Jared is not the only child for the father. I was more than willing to have my mother-in-law and brother-in-law take precedence over myself. The matter was well told and his father agreed. I mean, we're behind on our relationship with Jared.

Is that why I envy Lily, who wholeheartedly adores her daughter with a hoogo to her father?

For his sake too, we must act in good faith against Lily. The side room thing, clearly, is good for Jared.

I didn't even know there was such a story. I have to talk to Olivier first. We cannot even anticipate what will happen as a result, but I want to be clear if we are to reach a conclusion.

"- Hmm?"

At that time, he rises up hearing the small sound of the window of the room opening. I wasn't armed, so I grabbed the fountain pen I had on my desk.

"Jared, you don't have to get up. - It's me."

"... Pfile?

What emerged from the gap in the curtain was Pfile, one of the successors to the continent's best assassination organization, Vault Toyfer. He is a powerful man who is a bow user and at the same time releases an endless arrow of magic.

Once aimed at Hannellone, he was defeated by Jared. He has since helped me several times and now lives in the same mansion with me.

It's strange because I think we're friends now, like a lie, that we met as enemies.

"Why are you in the Duke of Rüdiger's territory - not what happened to Mr. Ernesta!

Trying to ask why Pfile is here, he realizes and panics that a familiar figure is being held in his arms.

Ernesta Kaif, secretary. He is the sister of Barnabas Kaif, who previously killed a candidate for court magician and also nearly killed the current court magician Tres Brawell.

Instead of being comparable to court magicians, they are also powerful men who achieved the single destruction of Minotaur, the Lord of the Extremely Difficult Labyrinth, the opponent Jared killed.

It was surprising that Ernesta, Barnabas' sister, wanted a human secretary with a brother in her hand, but she said she was struggling in the Royal Sorcery Division to which she belonged to have a criminal brother.

I decided to be good and to the secretary because I wanted to know what she thought and what she was thinking.

I am also surprised that she is being held by Pfile without power.

"Lord Pfile, what happened?

"I don't know. I found this woman on my way home looking around to see if there was any cannibal strike. I realized I was Jared's secretary, so I brought him here."

From the fact that Hugo knew the name of Pfile, he finds out that the two of them already know each other.

"There doesn't seem to be any trauma, but I feel remnants of magic. I don't think my life has anything else, but show it to the doctor."

"Thanks for finding me. Um, Duke."

"I know. Let's call a doctor now."

He received the secretary and tried to ask Hugo to arrange a doctor. Faster than that, he got out of the nodding room.

Jared follows, thanking the Marquis for moving for Ernesta without even thinking about fine dust.

I often wonder about Pfile, but now I wasn't worried about Ernesta.

"Lily! Hey, Lily!

I call my daughter out loud as I go down the hallway.

"Father, something happened - eh, Ernesta!?

"Bring the doctor. They say Lord Ernesta was down outside. Hurry up!"

Nodding to his father, Lily runs and goes to get a doctor.

Lord Ernesta's room is this way.

"Yes."

Following Hugo, Jared lay softly in bed as he carried Ernesta to his room.

Confirm the flow of breathing and magic, but no disturbance. I realized there was only a few tears left, but I can't ask her if she's losing her mind.

"Father, I brought you here!

Soon Lily brought me a doctor stationed at the mansion. The doctor, who was a young man, began to examine Ernesta on the bed.

Stand still, Jared and the others who can only watch.

"Hmmm... as far as I can tell, there's not going to be a problem"

"Is that true?

"Yeah. I did feel the remnants of the magic, but no trauma. Perhaps she tried to use witchcraft. Not even bruises, of course, like the kind you fought for. I don't know why I lost my mind, but I'm fine."

Jared and the others exhale in relief at the doctor's words.

While I was honestly pleased that nothing had happened, I also remained anxious as to why Ernesta had fallen.

But now I just decide to be happy with her safety, and when I wake up, let's just say I ask what's going on.

Lily told me to stay by Ernesta's side, and Jared and the others left the room behind.
