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

Ernesta Kaif couldn't stop the overflowing tears and was crying quietly.

I knew Pfile, who showed me his face every day, wouldn't be home any time soon, but I never thought he was fighting for me.

He thought Ernesta hadn't noticed, but he wasn't. I didn't realize the battle, I noticed the trivial changes in Pfile.

And I found out.

"... sorry Pfile"

Not a word of gratitude, but an apology because she hasn't responded to the feelings of a blue-haired bowman boy.

For a long time, he stopped by the house worrying about the sleepless ernesta. He listened to me until I got bored.

He didn't just desperately try to stop himself from being manipulated and rampant, he confessed he loved me.

But Ernesta hasn't answered him anything yet.

Now I am not so much a child as confused by the emotions that dwell within me.

Ernesta had a consciousness that she liked Pfile. But I wasn't sure if I could answer him.

"You don't deserve to like me."

She thinks that because of the guilt she has accumulated so far.

Murder of a court magician committed by his brother Barnabas Kaif. I felt painful as a family member of the perpetrator. Sometimes I resented my brother. But I found out that my brother's rampage had a culprit and that my brother wasn't the only one to blame.

But I don't care about that if you try to be a victim. I can't help but feel guilty because I know that.

And it happened the other day.

I drove Jared, my benefactor, and Olivier, who did well to me for working out as his secretary, into a predicament.

Even though it was manipulated by spells and not my own will, the fact that they annoyed a lot of people or that they might have died treating me as a family in the worst case, was still eroding the ernesta.

Jared, Olivier, and everyone else tells me they don't really care.

It's not once or twice that I thought that its kindness was hard and that it would be easier to blame me me for sneaking around.

I locked myself in the room for days, worried greatly about my family, and lamented my own immaturity.

All I did was pull my legs, even though I was a mage who belonged to the Royal Magic Division. So I keep worrying about whether I can continue to be Jared's secretary to become a court magician or if Olivier and the others can accept me as a family.

It was Pfile who supported such an ernesta.

He only said the minimum he needed, and he thoroughly listened to Ernesta's anxieties and regrets. He took all the negative emotions, anger, sadness, that dwelt in him.

- I'm too sweet for Pfile.

I don't know why he's so intimate with me and why he loves me. But it bothers me if the status quo, which is sweet on his kindness, is correct.

I cannot therefore reply to his feelings.

If it's going to happen, I want to tell him how I feel. How good would that be? I'm sure you can vanish your anxiety and fear, and you could be happy.

But I wonder if I can be happy.

"Thanks for caring...... I love you, Pfile. But right now, I'm sorry I can't live up to your feelings."

With a heart like Uzi Uzi and a rainy day, I groan love. I can say it in a small voice because I know it will never reach him.

On a day when Ernesta's heart will still be clear, it's far away.

Wahash, who broke up with Pfile, had not seen his daughter Rosa in a long time.

It was one of the few surprises of a long life that Rosa would start living with Jared and even enter and leave the mansion as her youngest son in the Duke's house liked her.

"... how long has it been since I've dined with you like this?

"At a young age, several times. Ever since I grew up as a fighter, I don't remember."

"Right. I'm disqualified as a father."

"That's not true. There are, of course, numerous people who respect and admire you as a father. Pfile would be one of them."

Rosa was heartily stunned when she said she was just surprised that her father had invited her to dinner, looking back at the past.

"Father, is something wrong?

"No, I have a sense that I'm doing something that doesn't even seem like me. But I wanted to spend some time with you."

"Thank you"

Praised for her growth, Rosa was delighted not to try her best on her face.

I kept working out that I should be strong, trying to be recognized by my father until now. I'm not a chronic mind, I'm also proud to have grown stronger as a fact. But when I first met Jared and fought, it is a bitter memory that I was defeated by Yenny Daum.

I began to live in Olivier's mansion, and when I realized it, it was accepted as a family. My father Wahash, of course, liked that family that gave me warmth despite the hostility Rosa had because the only memory of doing something family-like with the organization's people was at an early age.

But I could never have expected to have a family-like time like this with my father.

Unexpectedly, a bitter laugh leaks to me when I'm nervous and I don't really know what a meal tastes like.

"You know this country is trying to embrace us, right?

"Yes. That's because neighbouring countries think national power has fallen because of the treason the other day. Although there are many friendly countries, allies, the fact is that some of them try to wage war on this country with tiger vision. That would be the countermeasure."

If we hear that the continent's most powerful assassination organization has been absorbed by one country, it will be a disincentive to those who target the Kingdom of Weather.

There is no way to stimulate mischief, so there will be no assassination by the country, but time will be earned to consolidate the defence of this country.

"Perhaps that's why we're trying to increase the number of court magicians"

"You did talk to Pfile, too. I'm not sure if I can be surprised or frightened, but given Pfile's strength, I know what you want because he's more than a court magician."

The move to make Luther a court magician, a pufile of comparable strength, including Jared, which has been decided for a long time, is because he wants to increase the country's holdings.

The clearer we have the position of court magician, the more power we can show the surrounding countries have.

Lourenz, who will be a few steps inferior to the Jared's, is named for his court sorcery position, also because he looks to the future and wants to fill the seat of court sorcerer.

Regardless, the person of the moment will of course be aware of that, as will other human beings. There is no opposition to that, because a boy named Laurenz Herring has been recognized for his accomplishments and is expected in the future.

"This country gets interesting. Rosa, what are you gonna do?

"What do you mean?

"Do you want to succeed Vault Ifel? Or do I escort you with a boy who can fall in love with you?

"That's... that"

"Think slowly. You have time. Being in love or nurturing love, you are free. I have no right to stand in my way. Above all, we don't need assassins anymore in this era."

Rosa got anxious. It's like my father's gone. That's what I felt.

"Father? What's wrong?

"No, what... what I was looking for is approaching. Before I do, I want to think about something."

I don't understand the meaning of his father's words, and Rosa just puts her neck up.

Wahash had nothing more to say than a small grin on such a daughter.

Afterwards, the father and daughter had a peaceful time as if they were normal families.
