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

"Why is Mr. Dennis here, is it?

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I was looking into what the Duke of Cassandra Hagendorf seemed to be up to more than before"

"... dude. You're lying, right?"

I never imagined that the first seat of court magician was looking into Cassandra.

I thought I'd gone around the back, arrowhead, things might turn out better.

"To be honest, I was surprised that Lord Rasmus was there, but I am so relieved to be able to move forward."

"Even about Rasmus"

"This is still the first seat for court magicians. You also know about his qualities. Historical kings teach from generation to generation about the seal of their ancestors and Lord Rasmus. I have heard from the king. Regardless, the people you know are a lot more limited, needless to say why."

Dennis is right, fewer people know about Rasmus.

Even if he wasn't dangerous himself, his birth, his condition, and his knowledge are terribly dangerous. Above all, the technology that can live for so long will be enough for everyone to get their hands out of their throats.

If you can, you should keep his presence down.

"I doubted my ears when I first heard them too. Murphy, you must be surprised at the presence of him and his ancestors."

"Ha ha... how many surprises have you had in a short time. - Otherwise, what do you know about the Duke of Hagendorf?

It's also a sufficiently surprising case that Dennis was in the picture, but now I want to know why he's moving more immediately than that.

Dennis Beckman is the king's katana. Thus, while he is a court magician, his presence is kept secret, and usually he works as one magician's association officer. In fact, he is also president of the Sorcerer's Association, but he always believes in working in the field.

"Well, let's start with Cassandra Hagendorf."

"Please"

"Cassandra became the Duke's head young, but by the time she got there, she seemed to have fought with her flesh and blood for a long time. Of course, it's not uncommon to have a home fight or anything. Especially when it comes to the Duke's house, there are a lot of problems involved."

I wouldn't put it in my mouth, but I think Jared is right.

Olivier, whose mother and daughter had been targeted for many years for their lives, was also an attempt by the side chamber to eliminate those who stood in the way to take my son over. Other than that, there was a mixture of jealousy and hatred for Hannellone, who is a regular room, but until then, if you end up being told it's a house fight.

"I just heard that Cassandra used magic to get rid of your brother."

"Does that mean you killed him?

"No, your brother is alive... and I hear. I haven't been able to confirm it myself, so I'm not sure. Still, he's alive."

"... are you alive, are you"

If there is a home dispute, a winner and a loser will be born. The winner will be the winner, and the loser will depend on the case but more or less live in hiding in the territory. If you are bad, you may be solemnly cleared, or you may lose your life while fighting over your home.

Sometimes brothers support the Lord if there is not even a dispute, but that does not seem to be the case at the House of the Duke of Hagendorf.

Cassandra's brothers would not be dead, as Dennis put it. But considering what Rasmus told me about the family situation, it's not safe.

"Truth be told, Cassandra is not registered as a magician. In the first place, it wasn't even publicly stated that magic could be used. In that case, I've never acted as a magician. It may not be necessary to register, as it is only the Duke, but it may be more convenient to speak publicly"

Being a sorcerer is one status in modern society, beyond the decline of sorcery and the decreasing number of sorcerers. It's not uncommon for ordinary people to be taken in by nobility just because they have more than a certain amount of magic.

It has many advantages to publicly proclaim that you are a magician because you live in such a society. If you are a young Duke like Cassandra, if you are a magician, you will have some foil on you.

You don't do that because there are circumstances you want to hide, or maybe there's another reason.

Were you hiding being a sorcerer for the resurrection of your ancestors, or as a weapon to fight your brothers? Jared has no idea.

"As an association, I'd like you to register, in fact, some people don't need witchcraft. Cassandra just didn't think she was interested in magic, either, but she wasn't."

Dennis' soft expression changes into something sinister.

"Since that man became the Duke of Hagendorf's house, his relationship with the Society of Mages has been good and tight. You have actively participated in the meetings, and you have invested in compensating the sorcerer. Why, until then, I was uncomfortable. Since the House of the Duke of Hagendorf is only the monitoring of the Sorcerer's Association, there has never been a princess like Cassandra."

"Sounds like you have a lot of power in the association."

"Yes. Over the past few years, I've seemed to be looking into something with a sense of flexibility in the staff. If that's all, well, I didn't mind meditating on your eyes -"

"Is this about this one?

"That's not all. The more I look into it, the more she's doing something. I couldn't grasp it until something like that, but I've finally been able to grasp the motion here lately. No, you're not, I should say the motion got cluttered."

"Miscellaneous, is it? But why again?

"I doubt it, too. Until now, quietly, Cassandra, who had moved without leaving any trace as far as possible, suddenly moved like a panic. A good example is Murphy's too forceful arrest. Indeed, the agenda has been raised that petrified magic should be designated a no-go. But I haven't even taken a pass. But he was forced to push it through with a flexible staff."

The result is now Jared.

"Of course, it's that guy's discretion, and he doesn't have any arrest powers in the first place. But, Murphy, I'm sorry, but I thought it was a good time."

"Uh, something's starting to feel like that"

"As you can see, I used Murphy as bait."
