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

The Jareds worked with soldiers from the Duke of Alway and Count Rocco families to protect the girls in the mansion and successfully capture the rebels.

The surrendered Royal Sorcery Division members were quietly on the ropes, and the remaining Sorcery Supremacist nobles would not resist when they found out Leonard was not here.

It would be only a matter of time before some of them escaped with their Lord, although the names are also broken from those caught.

"Dear Jared, I'm so glad you're safe..."

It was Milina Rommeyer who gave me the look of tearful relief. She wasn't the only one, all five of the girls Jared tried to stop fighting Leonard and were happy Jared was safe.

"I've got your father. Don't worry, I'm not imitating anything rough."

"Thank you for the overlap. I'm sure my father would be relieved not to have to do this anymore."

"I will tell the Sorcerer's Association and the Royal Palace that you have helped me. I don't know how far my appeal goes, but at least I want you guys to live in peace."

"I'm glad to hear your feelings, but we were prepared at the time my father joined Leonard. I obeyed my father, prepared to be stripped of my title, but also to be tied to a prison."

I can guess it must be from the kindness of not being abandoned from my family.

The girls, including Millina, are not doing anything to get caught. Sure, his father took part in Leonard, but they didn't do anything about it either. I just belonged to the Orthodox Mage Army, that's all.

Of course, that's all that makes it a sin. Even if it is an organization that has committed national treason. Then at least I want to help my daughters not be guilty. Because the Millinas and the Rommeer sisters are also the benefactors of life.

"Um, Jared, what can you do now?

"Apparently, Leonard's father is the culprit, so if you don't slap him, this case won't really end."

"You're still going to fight."

"There's no other way. I haven't officially, but I'm a court magician for once, and I'm sorry I don't owe you anything."

"Really? Please be careful. I wish you well, Jared."

"Thanks"

Thank you Milina for showing me wholeheartedly, even though we just met. Despite our uncertainty about our future, we can undoubtedly think of others because she is a kind person of heart.

"Jared. The children I protected. Now, I'm anxious to keep you anywhere, so I'll have you protected in my father's mansion."

Olivier, who was encouraging the other girls from a remote location, called out.

"Do that!

Right now, only the Duke of Alway family can be trusted. I guess I can trust the Sorcerer's Association and the Royal Palace, but the Duke's house is more convenient for something. Above all, I can rest assured that the powerful Rosa Lowen is protecting the mansion.

"Olivier Alway."

"Oh, he's sweet."

"I only interacted with you once by letter, and I heard bad rumors... rumors are preposterous rumors. You spoke to me earlier, but you were kind."

Taking Milina's word, Jared rejoiced inside.

Olivier, with all the bad rumors, knows she's really a sweethearted woman. but the world doesn't. I hope this time the girls who touched on Olivier's kindness and care are inspired to solve her misunderstanding.

Because you don't have to stay strong to protect your mother anymore.

"I envy you Olivier."

"Envious?"

"I wish I could have met you, Jared, in a different way, not in this way... would you have been close?"

I couldn't get back to you.

If the words Leonard said were true, the girls, including Milina, had offered Jared a matchmaker. but Olivier says no.

Sure, I wish we'd met in a different way. Regardless, it wouldn't be a relationship like Olivier's, but I couldn't help but think I wanted to meet him on a gentler routine, not via a case like this.

"Is it time, Jared?

Olivier, who was nearby at some point, nodded because he called out. Milina and the girls bowed their heads deeply to Olivier.

"We talked a little earlier, but the others told us. About you guys."

Did you help Jared or did you try to let me get away with it? Or was it that they were wanted as much as possible as a wife instead of Olivier?

"I understand your anger, Olivier."

Milina spoke out on behalf of him and apologized. But no, Olivier laughs.

"Not that I have any thoughts at all, but right now, there's only one thing I want to tell you. - Thank you for helping Jared. I really appreciate your help."

"It's a waste of time. We tried to be Olivier, wanted by our fathers, but our admiration for Lord Jared was genuine. Just understand that."

"Yes, of course."

Neither Olivier nor Jared said anything more than they needed. No, I couldn't tell you.

Jared was surprised by the girls' feelings, and Olivier seemed to have guessed somewhat, but now he thought it was not the time.

Once again, Millina thanked him deeply and proceeded to rendezvous with her protected face.

"I remember those kids. What I turned down my offer of a pageant. If I hadn't tried to monopolize you, if I had accepted those children, wouldn't those children have been involved?

"That's not true. I must have gotten involved. Like us."

"... yes. But I could have helped you earlier. If you think so, you'll regret it a little bit."

I can also understand what Olivier is trying to say. But it's only "if."

I can't change what's happened. Then I want to live in the future, not regret the past. Just as Olivier decided to help the Millinas, even if Jared was self-satisfied.

Because the guilt I once had in my chest won't go away unless I deal with it myself.

"Let's go. Jared, the Lutherans are waiting. They say Zidock will stay here and take command, so let us defeat Lucas Gallagher. And let's get this stupid noise over with."

"- No, it doesn't extend to that. Lord Olivier Alway."

"Huh?"

An unfamiliar voice sounds, and Olivier is astonished. Jared immediately stood in the direction of his voice and on the diagonal of her body to become Olivier's shield.

In a moment, it exploded from the deserted Azito of the Army of Orthodox Mages.

"Hey, what, all of a sudden, what's up?

Surrounded by a sudden explosion, there are soldiers screaming, stunned but trying calmly.

"Lord Jared, the man there - it's Lucas Gallagher!

Tensions ran to Jiddock's voice, who stretched out to yell from afar.

The brightness of the flame and the old man standing with smoke on his back make a deep grin at Jared's.

"It's Lucas Gallagher I left for the introduction. I thought you were looking for him."
