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

"Yennie Dowm."

"That kid's family. I admire Jared as my brother, and I strangely like Yenny, who calls me my sister. Besides, I'm sure her feelings for Jared seem like an extension of family love, no matter how bad."

It's not like you don't have romantic feelings. Yenny's feelings about Jared are real. But it seems to Olivier that Yennie's thoughts are what family love has been sublimated to.

It may be because of the relationship between my brother and my sister, who grew up together for a long time.

I don't doubt Yenny's feelings, and I know her thoughts are real. So that's fine.

"So relieved?

"Yeah, I'm relieved.... I hate you, me."

"That's not true. If you're a woman, take it for granted."

In a way, I think family love is more troublesome, but Veronica didn't dare speak.

Yennie admires Olivier with her sister, however, and is not going to take Jared from each other. Stand her up and keep yourself inconspicuous.

There are no answers to human emotions, and even if family love seems troublesome, it doesn't always mean Olivier and Yennie don't go well. I wanted to avoid saying extra things and making them poorly aware.

"Hey, Veronica. What happens if you don't become Jared's sideroom?

"Definitely another woman would be sent in as a side room, wouldn't she? The leading candidate is Lily Ludiger."

"I knew you would"

"You know Lily is one of those people who likes Jared all the time. The Duke of Lüdiger and your family seem to be rooting for you, so no doubt about it."

Olivier sighs. I know how Lily feels in person, so it's no surprise.

Sometimes I work for my fiancée as a secretary, and also a little older in terms of age, so there won't be any opposite voices. In that case, the secretary would quit, but she wouldn't mind.

"Or maybe one of the girls who was in Jared's custody the other day in the treason."

"I knew it... I knew it would happen"

"No matter how much Olivier refuses, if he officially becomes a court magician, he won't be able to stop talking about the sideroom. Uncle Harald seems to be doing his best, but sooner or later, the limit will come."

Not necessarily does a court magician have to have a side chamber.

Tres Brawell, an active court magician, and others, have shown thoroughness in saying no to any number of applications for an affair. Nevertheless, with his appointment as head of the reorganized Knights of Magic, the talk of fringe will continue.

"There are many nobles who want to connect with Jared somehow. These days, there are houses that try to apply for friendships via the Royal Palace and the Mages Association. I know we won't be dealing with the royal palace or the association, but sometimes just in case."

At the moment, Tres would often be seen as a more promising stock than Jared, who has a Duke's fiancée.

However, there are some who think that Jared is more of a Baron, a minor, and that, as a result of gaining connectivity, he might gain an advantage.

From what I don't know about Olivier's relationship with Jared, even if he had a slightly troublesome regular room, a boy who could still be described as a child if he even became a side room, and so on. Some people even think about it.

From a standpoint where neither the royal palace nor the sorcerer's association fully understands the importance of court sorcerers, it is natural to assume that they do not want to be used by court sorcerers to satisfy their individual greed. Only the King can move the court magician. I am also afraid that that premise will collapse.

Therefore, with Veronica, the royal family, in the sideroom, I want to be a restraint to those who try to use Jared.

Then it seems that we should not increase the number of side rooms, etc., but the current situation was quite difficult.

"Kick Olivier off the wayward...... I'd rather stand as a regular room about you than the kind of person who thinks about that, and I don't have to shy away because I'm familiar with childhood. If you think you've got more family, that's fine."

"It's something Veronica can tie up with someone she likes, too.... I was wondering if royalty would be fine in the side room?

"Oh, are you giving me the front room with care?

"That's not true!

"That's too bad... don't look at me like that, because I'm kidding. I'm going to my mother's relatives' house to adopt my son. It's a childless family, so it's just fine."

"Even though I'm royal, it's light around there, isn't it? The right to inherit the throne has been relinquished since my brother was born."

"You don't need me because I have an excellent brother. You don't want to fight with your younger brothers to succeed the Duke."

There was talk of demoralizing Veronica and giving her territory, but that makes it harder to make it Jared's sideroom. Therefore, he was to be adopted by a mother's relative's house, where there was no successor.

If you can have a child between you two, it is also contemplated to be the heir to that house.

Jared will be given the countenance, but the house should be inherited by the son of Olivier, who is a regular room. It was also contemplated that there would be no useless disputes. This is also a consideration for Olivier, who targeted my mother in the side chamber.

If she accepts the side chamber, the story will go on, including the story of the official succession.

Already under the water, the Royal Society of Mages and some nobles are moving, but it is difficult if Olivier does not eventually shake his head vertically.

Neither does Jared want what she doesn't like. Then no matter how much we go around, Jared won't accept it.

That's why Veronica came to see Olivier. To protect the familiar child and his family, including his fiancée.

"I don't want to force you to do the sideroom thing. Even based on my personal feelings, right? But considering the future of Olivier and Jared, and the future of the Duke of Alway, it's not a bad idea to welcome a side room."

"I know. And that you decided to come to the side room for me."

"It'll be hard, but think about it"

"... Hey Veronica"

Olivier called his childhood name in a small voice.

"I'm glad you're here."

Veronica, who guessed what was meant by that short word,

"Pfft, thanks"

I felt like a sister watching over my sister, and I said thank you.
