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

Berta Bartolam had a sudden visit to Yumana.

Even if the Herring family sometimes calls me, it is not so that the main room deliberately takes me to the mansion of the branch.

If there was, it was just when I brought every trouble.

Nervous as to what impossible challenges can be pushed inside, Berta invites Yumana into her room and asks her to sit on the couch.

"I'll make you some tea now"

"I don't care about tea, sit down. I need to talk to you today."

"What is it like?

Sakuri, and Berta drink spit.

You know, I wanted to tell you something important, please.

I lean my neck even as I get nervous. If it's the usual Yumana, she's supposed to say what she wants to say, but something's wrong with her today.

It's not like her to cloud her words, and it's weird that she's asking how this one is doing.

"Um, what happened to Raulenz?

No matter how bad Yumana is, he is his only son, so I can guess. I am also anxious that something may have happened to my beloved husband.

"No, it's not like something happened to Laurenz... is there?

"Ma'am? What the hell does that mean?

"Take it easy. I didn't have a problem with Laurenz. But the environment surrounding that kid would have changed. I'm worried about that."

"... Was I? I was recommended by the court magician, so it still can't be the way it was before."

"It is. I'm sure you know that, but we've been talking about this for a long time."

I see, and I think Berta figured out what Yumana was worried about. I knew I was lamenting that I didn't have the right person to be the daughter-in-law of my only son. Until he was recommended by the court magician, Yumana, who was looking for his daughter-in-law, was asked as foolish that he could not find someone to satisfy the conditions.

"Even after the recommendation to the court magician, didn't the good show up?

"Doesn't mean he's not here at all. But I don't know if it really fits Laurenz. Some of us have known each other since childhood, but when others do, we meet for the first time. I'm anxious to be able to support my position as a court magician."

"Does Master Yumana think that Master Laurenz will be a court magician?

"It would be obvious. As a parent, I really want you to kick in a position that involves danger. But you know Berta loved magic from a very young age and dreamed of becoming a magician."

"... Yes"

"So I won't ask you to stop because I'm dangerous. Besides, you can't crush the future just because it's dangerous. Parents are troublesome, right? Either way, there's no end to worry."

Just like Yumana, Berta also guides Laurenz.

The fact that my husband was badly injured the other day is new to my memory. I don't want you to be impotent, even though it's because of how much reason you had to fight.

Becoming a court magician would increase the danger. There is more to the crisis in the country than being the highest ranking magician the country gives. Now is not the time for war, but we do not know when relations with neighbouring countries will change.

"We will continue to worry. But, you know, you can't just do that. I want to do everything I can for you as a parent."

"I'm sure Raulenz will be delighted with Yumana's care."

"Thank you. To my mind, what Laurenz needs now is a supportive wife. And that's the woman she can love."

"Right. If you can support Mr. Laurenz, you can rest assured."

My chest hurts. Even though I know it's an unfulfilled love, I still get jealous even though I know it doesn't deserve a minute from my beloved husband's still unseen wife.

I've only seen him since I was young. It was in the beginning that he was his visitor by Yumana and Kendrick, but now he just refrains from being around as a minister. In contrast, Laurenz is treating himself as a family.

I thought that was all I needed. No, I assumed. But I can't stay calm when I actually hear my husband's marriage story. Thought I was ahead of you, but faster than sorting out my emotions, my husband moves on.

I feel left behind. Even if I can't be my wife, I want to stay by my side. Then I wanted as much time as I wanted to clean up my emotions, my feelings, my unworthy love heart.

"I'm glad we had the same opinion. Then I'll take care of Laurenz. Berta."
