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

It was a week after the conspiracy between the Gallagher clan and the Royal Sorcery Division, which threatened the Kingdom of Weather under water.

The Royal Palace was home to the Dukes, including the Duke of Harald Alway, the Marquis, and heavy towns in the country, including court magicians.

Headed by King Holst W. Fairliger of the Kingdom of Weather, the Duke of Harald Alway and Duke of Hugo Lüdiger lined the circular table from the right. This was followed by an old man with gray hair, the Duke of Dominic Kneisl, twenty-eight years old and a young woman still present in the seat, Cassandra Hagendorf, who had just become the winner the other day.

There is no other Duke Ewing figure on this occasion. The same is true of Lucas Gallagher's murder, but it was forbidden by the Royal Palace to decide on the next principals, and the deputies were not allowed to participate in this meeting either.

This was followed by a line of the heads of the five Marquis, with the exception of the Marquis Ronmeyer family, who joined the conspiracy.

And finally, the court magician and the chief of the Royal Knights take their seats.

In turn, Kirshi Santara, the second seat "sage" of the court magician in charge of defense at the Royal School. "Windman" Tres Brawell, seventh seat of the court magician in charge of the Kingdu Guardian Assistant Attack. Adelina Bishoff, 8th seat "Water Mirror", court magician in charge of defense, Patronage Assistant, Wang Du. Catalina Fry, third seat "healer", court magician, director of the National Institute of Medical Magic. Royal Palace Guardian Court Sorcerer Seat XII "Robust" Ruej Bajand each lowered his back.

It is no exaggeration to say that the heavy towns of the Kingdom of Weather were gathered, among the faces, the only men standing.

A man still in his mid-thirties, with clean alignment of brown hair and a soft grin. "Shadow" Dennis Beckman, First Seat of the Court Mage, President of the Magician's Association.

When he made sure everyone was seated, he spoke quietly.

"Then I'd like to start a meeting. Kings Regards,"

"Okay."

Holst W. Fairliger is still the young king of the early forties. He is a good king who lays down good governance, and he also invests in education, welfare and health care. His father and grandfather were good kings.

Holst stroked his dull blonde hair back and tightened his stern appearance.

"I would like to discuss the punishment of the rebels who recently joined the conspiracy against our country, perpetrated by Leonard Gallagher and Lucas Gallagher as the main culprits, and the future of those who led this one to a resolution. Dennis, please."

"Yes, I did. First, then, the Count Gallagher family was at the centre. The majority of the Royal Sorcery Division flipped the flag against this Weathered Kingdom. Their claim was to create a nation just for magicians. Apparently it was an act of treason because of his dissatisfaction with the treatment of the sorcerers and, unfortunately, his particular electorate."

"It's really crappy. I hear that many of the people who shouted for better treatment in the first place were immature as magicians. Beckman, aren't you undermanaged by the president of the sorcerers' association?

It was the old man Dominic Knaisl who rattled his nose and broke in. Also a former knight, he turned his sharp eyes to Dennis. I'm not saying publicly, but Dominic hates mages and is also a famous duke. But I don't have a stiff head, and I fully understand the importance of magicians. For this reason, many sorcerers belong to his clan and also draw good sorcerers to his blood clan. In recent years, there have been stories of joy in the birth of grandchildren who are excellent knights but also talented as magicians.

"I'm sorry. It's certainly my lack of control."

"Dominic, now is not the time to hold Lord Dennis accountable."

"... Hmm. I'm sorry. Go on."

He urged the voice of the Duke of Harald Alway to go ahead by apologizing for not hiding his dissatisfaction.

"As Master Kunaisul said, most of the members were immature, except for the members of the Royal Sorcery Division, who could not help but say. It is unfortunate, however, that students were also mixed from several schools, including those from the Royal School"

Many of the boys and girls bewildered by Leonard's sweet words have joined in treason because of their delusions of improving the treatment of magicians, their own activism, and being heroes if they win.

It goes without saying that it became an unprecedented case of many students being held captive and included many noble children. In contrast, there is irony because it is the people who are students as well who solved the case.

"As we've already discussed, I'd like to officially decide today on the treatment of those who have been captured, including the students"

No one was left alone to dispute the King's proclamation.

"Okay, let's go on. Dennis."

"First of all, it's the Count Gallagher family, but the mastermind is dead, including his daughter. Nevertheless, it turns out that the majority of the clan was part of it"

"Then the clan shall be destroyed, and the man who was in it shall be guilty of death. It would be reasonable for a close relative to send him to the border and put him under house arrest."

"How about the others? If you have any comments from Kunaisr, please say so."

"Then from me"

"Go ahead, Master Hagendorf"

It was the Duke of Cassandra Hagendorf who raised his hand modestly. He is still too young as a twenty-eight year old duke, but since childhood he has been familiar with various disciplines as a talented woman, and although it is the magic that does not hold, he is also deeply shaped against witchcraft.

It would also have been an elegant appearance, and if it had not succeeded to the title, the same Duke family would have been, of course, the wife candidate of the next king, Prince Ralph W. Fairliger.

With her silver blonde hair cut short, neat nose beams, lustrous, well-shaped lips and big, moist eyes, she looks like a doll made. By contrast, because of the love and affection, it never makes me feel puppeted cold.

The Duke but also close to the inhabitants, he was also the old lady who had been working in the fields with the inhabitants since childhood, and now all the inhabitants are on her side.

The other day, when he became duke in the will of his father, a former lord who had fallen ill, he silenced all the voices he objected to and held the clan's arm was something the other dukes would admit.

For her, who has just taken the lead, this is also the first official business involved.

"We want the students who joined us to be warm. It was Lucas Gallagher who pulled them off sweetly in the first place, and it was only with his arms that he successfully guided the boys and girls of his age. I'm not trying to make you guilty, but I want you to have a chance to start over."

"I agree with Lord Cassandra. When I was younger, I got flushed around. Whatever you do, you should be punished early because it's what you did, but it's pathetic not to give you the chance to start over."

It was the Duke of Hugo Rüdiger who agreed. The Marquis, the court magician also gives me a voice to endorse.

"Okay. The students wanted to be treated with caution. Before this, we will decide on the treatment of the adults who participated."

"Harald, what do you got?

"I think we should be punished severely. There will be no need for temper, especially since the aristocrats who participated know and join in treason. But if you participated in the Lord's discretion, give warmth to the people of the involved clan."

"It's your idea. I don't hate it."

"Thank you"

You were satisfied with Harald's answer. The king slackened his cheeks and nodded.

An exchange of views ensued and the settlement soon came out.

"I shall now make a formal decision. The Gallagher clan, the mastermind of this treason, decides to crush it. All human beings of the clan who participated are guilty of death. Close relatives shall be placed under house arrest with surveillance at the border, even if they are not involved."

Next, the decisions of the nobles who took part are communicated from the king's mouth.

"The sins that have been committed in treason are great. All human beings who participate, regardless of the title of nobility, including members of the Royal Sorcery Division, shall be guilty of death. Including the already deceased Duke's house, the Marquis' house, the clan for which the Lord is a capital offence, the Royal Palace will nominate the next Principal. The Counts, Viscounts, and Barons shall be destroyed."

There is no objection.

The Royal Palace's nomination of the next Lord would mean that both the Dukes and the Marquis would lose much of their power as nobles.

Below the Count's house became a tough decision for the house to be torn down. But if you think about it, you're convinced. There is no need to keep the names of the rebels in the history of the country. The families will rely on no other family.

In the event of family separation, in some cases harsh fate awaits, but only minimal aid was taken by the State. Our Lord's responsibilities extend to our families. It also shows that this will never happen again.

Still, I decided to give aid, albeit minimally, because, for one thing, Holst W. Fairliger was kind and no, sweet.

Thus came the severe punishment of a rebellious man as a capital offense.
