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

"You're Lucas Gallagher. Are you stupid to bother showing up in front of us?

"Are you Jared Murphy? Sounds like you've been taken care of by a fool."

"Leonard wouldn't be here."

"I know. He was crying with his granddaughter's body. I killed him because he was so pathetic."

Jared doubted his ears. He's not the only one, Olivier and Ziddock, whose voice Lucas has arrived, also have an unbelievable look round their eyes.

"You... now what?

"Oh? I was gonna tell you I killed my son?

"You're my son, aren't you?

"It's because he's my son. I pity the foolishness of crying at the loss of my daughter, so I can see her again in the afterlife."

"You're a total scumbag. I don't like Leonard, and I was wrong about what he did. Still, I was doing everything I could to you, how could I have killed you?

Jared has been unfriendly with his father for a long time. I've even thought about killing him once. but I didn't. I couldn't. Although the relationship has now recovered only slightly, it has not been possible to become a normal parent-child relationship.

That's why I don't understand how Leonard feels about what he's done for his father, and I don't think he needs to. Still, I don't think it's okay for a father who should have done everything he could.

"I wonder if you're angry about your hostile son. Kind thing, no, can you afford a strong man?

The old man caught his lips with a thin grin on them. That attitude wasn't ridiculous, he said he found something interesting.

"But it was none other than you who took Avril from Leonard. It's strange that you feel sorry for your son."

"Shut up."

"It must have been natural to resent what he did to me. Oh, well, even if you resent it, are you sick of having Avril in your hands in a way you don't want?

"Shut up!"

"I don't care. I don't care either. Avril was a rare daughter in modern times with the talent of a spellman, but had no other talent at all. It was worth using, but I don't have much use for it because it's pleasant and emotional. I had a little extra time to pawn."

"I'm telling you to shut up!

Come on, it's unpleasant to hear your voice.

"Angry with what? I am grateful. He disposed of my granddaughter, who couldn't. That saved me a lot of trouble."

"Shut your mouth."

He generated a stone spear and unleashed it on Lucas' mouth. Death is an essential blow if you hit it directly, but you have no regrets. They are enemies to be defeated anyway. I don't even feel the need to bother fighting straight from the front.

"Good offense. I wouldn't have won with foolishness either."

But the stone spear is easily caught and crushed by Lucas' right hand.

"Become..."

Jared lost his word.

Jared's attack, which allows him to use all the magic he has, is more than double its strength and sharpness than usual, even though it is merely a stone spear.

Lucas prevented a spear strike with his bare hands, even though it had been reinforced by a spear that could still pierce the Fei Long. I would have cut my arm a thousand times if I was supposed to, piercing my jaw.

"Can you also interfere with the Spirit, that's unusual. I feel a little overwhelmed, but I am able to use my magic powers, and how complete am I as a magician? You sure were sixteen years old, that's great."

"It's an honor to pay you a compliment."

Hope the upset doesn't pass on to the other person.

He's the one Leonard didn't do anything against. I expected to be more powerful than him as a magician. But it's more than you can imagine, such as being prevented from using magic to make a blow you fired with the intention of killing.

Lucas, who paid for the stone spear fragments, walked over to Jared for a few steps and offered him his right hand.

"I appreciate you. Come with me."

"- What, to?

"Mine has no friends or comrades in the true sense. It's all just a pawn I used. But you're not, Jared Murphy. You deserve my comrade. I'm getting to my heights as a magician with that youth, and you can walk my path together."

"Don't be ridiculous!

It wasn't Jared who yelled at Lucas. It's Olivier.

"I haven't asked a non-magician. It's about me and him. I want you to keep quiet, Lord Olivier."

"No, I won't shut up. Jared is my fiancée. You have a much better personality to draw your future husband to evil in front of me."

Olivier didn't pull a step toward Lucas, who stared sharply at him because he was disturbed.

On the contrary, step forward and raise your voice.

"Your comrade isn't here? That's not what I found out. I wonder who would follow a person who would more or less kill his real son. A lot of people seemed to follow you, but definitely Leonard Gallagher, not you."

"Hmm. Why not?

"Because from my point of view, you are not a vessel admired by someone, are you?
