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

Laurenz Herring was bored with an irreplaceable school life.

I was able to cultivate friendship with Jared Murphy, who viewed me as a rival on his own, but he got to the point of counting whether he was too busy being a court magician to show his face to the school.

Originally, I'm exempt from classes, so I'm close to being enrolled in all shapes, but for that I have a proven track record as a mage.

If you want to be a scholar or go to an advanced school, you should take a class, but not for a friend. He should remain a court magician and choose the path to fight for his country, for his people.

To such a friend, instead of one step, I regret that we are two or three steps behind. I want to be more reciprocal than I am a friend. There's no way he looks down on himself because he's become a court magician, but he probably just has a little complex about himself continuing to chase his friend's back.

"Looks like Jared's not even here today."

At the end of the morning class, I head to the dining room to rendezvous with my friends for lunch.

It's never my fault that my friends seem less hectic than usual just because I'm missing one of my friends in school.

"There was something I wanted to talk to you about... should you go see me instead of waiting at school"

Recently, I've been talking to myself more because I have troubles.

I talked to my friends and they wouldn't solve it, and I wanted Jared not to show his face to the school, and no, that's why I wanted Jared to hear it. But I was hesitant to get in the way of a busy friend, and I was about to talk to him when he showed up at school, but he hadn't looked at me for days.

- Am I a candidate for court magician?

Make sure it's not popular around you before spilling a sighing voice.

Laurenz's troubles, it was - that he was named as a candidate for court magician.

Currently, the Society of Mages and the Royal Palace are in the process of talking under the water about selecting the next candidate for court magician. When the candidate for court magician was selected earlier, the case of non-Jared candidates killed by a revenge play by a former court magician candidate named Barnabas Kaif is new to memory.

Among the victims was Kevin Harrington, who is like a brother to Laurenz, but also a respected teacher who is not officially an apprentice.

As a result of his death and his attachment to revenge - he ran wild recklessly trying to defeat Barnabas alone. Because of that, Jared was going to fight Barnabas, and he won.

But Laurenz was not pleased. Not that I couldn't take revenge with my own hands, but because I let my friends get their hands dirty because of me.

Afterwards, I became guilty knowing that Jared, who was officially to become a court magician, cared about killing vengeful ghosts, even though he had no other choice, in recognition of his achievements in stopping Barnabas' revenge play, which even defeated court magicians.

When I thanked you and apologized, you said you didn't have to worry about it, but it's not that easy to break it off.

Now knowing all the circumstances of Barnabas, the Avenger, could erase the wrath that was dull in his chest, but the dead will not return. The only thing left to be done by humans is to move forward.

It was oddly in the battle against Barnabas that such Laurenz was named a candidate for court magician.

Instead of gaining the same power as a court magician, he fought and survived Barnabas, who was strong enough to single out the main warcraft of the Labyrinth - Minotaur. On the contrary, it was evaluated as something that the late court sorcerer candidates could not have done.

"Torres and Adelina told me that I should be a court magician. But..."

Vengeance plays and courtroom magicians Tres Brawell and Adelina Bishoff, who I know via Jared, are mentoring me to myself for losing my teacher. Now I had enough company to call myself a teacher.

Perhaps the trigger was the annihilation of Laurenz, who lost someone close to us because of ourselves.

Tres was shocked to learn of the fact that his father had fallen into Barnabas without his knowledge. I guess I couldn't forgive my father for ruining my friend's life because he cut me off from home.

Adelina has cooperated in a way that is half-threatened by Count Brawell, Tres' father. Now is the time to be a court magician of both status and power, but at the time he was a candidate, he was only a magician with no back shield.

Laurenz did not resent the two with such backgrounds. Because it won't be something I can't help resenting anymore, and my late brother's replacement isn't coming back.

He was proud to say that his strength had grown thanks to guidance from the court magician. Sometimes at the behest of the Society of Mages. By gaining track record, he kept trying to be a fine magician until Kevin's minute of death.

Should it be worth it - Dennis Abod, a candidate for court magician and a member of the Magician's Association, who is an acquaintance, took a direct trip to the mansion to talk to my parents about the future.

"The strange thing was, how could you be surprised to see your father, your mother, and Mr. Dennis?

The reason has not yet been informed. Perhaps he didn't really realize if his son was going to be a candidate for court magician.

As Jared once said, Dennis was a good man. Knowing that I was worried about getting a candidate for court magician, he gave me numerous advices. It was Laurenz himself who made the final decision, but he even braved me not to regret it.

My father tells me I should try if it's any chance at all, but my mother isn't. An overprotective mother is worried about the future her son may be in danger of facing. Opposing.

Even if I talk to my parents every day, I repeat that my mother is angry and takes a seat, but I can't even say it strongly because I know my mother is worried about me. The only other cause is Laurenz himself, who hasn't made his own intentions clear while being selected as a candidate.

"When Jared was also selected as a candidate for court magician, was it this difficult?

I think my friend's situation should have been worse.

He became the fiancée of the older, but also the oldest daughter of the Duke's family, and was misunderstood by students, including himself, because of bad rumors. Now it was only the jealous who spoke ill of him, but at the time it was thought that it was also the power of the Duke's family to be named a candidate for court magician.

When he decided that the situation was better than that of his friends, who were more comfortable imagining it, Laurenz moved on to the dining room where his friends were waiting, rethinking what he wanted to do.
