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

Jared, who entered the territory of the Duke of Hagendorf, was surprised by the sight he could see through the window of the carriage.

"To be honest, I never thought anyone who was thinking stupid about the resurrection of their ancestors would be admired"

The countryside and the inhabitants who welcomed me.

Jared, not. To the carriage with the family crest of the Duke of Hagendorf and to the man in the armor of the Duke's private soldiers.

A working inhabitant is stopping and waving. Without a doubt, it was evidence that Cassandra Hagendorf was laying down good governance.

"Originally, the former lord Hagendorf was also a good one. Lord Cassandra also ruled your father's apprenticeship territory."

"Heh. It's nice to have all the inhabitants smiling, and idyllic"

It will be a long time away, but sooner or later I retired from being a magician and retreated from fighting, I wanted to have these relaxing days in the countryside.

"It is the people who are the lords. I hear Lord Cassandra's brothers didn't know much about the area. Even if Lord Cassandra did nothing, it was unlikely that your brother would succeed the Duke."

"Huh? Then why?

I questioned Cassandra's reason for doing things that pulled her brothers down until she used the magic she'd been hiding.

"You wanted to dispose of the brothers who were going to pull your legs later, or revenge so far, or both. I've never really heard of him, so I can't say anything, but he had enough motive."

"I see. But thanks to that, the territory is still peaceful. When that happens, are you going to do the ancestral resurrection here?

"At least I don't think the King's Capital will do such a great thing. It could get in the way, and it would be done where your powers would reach beyond trying to restrain Master Murphy with this in mind."

Jared wonders.

I wondered if Cassandra, admired by the people, would resurrect her ancestors and so forth in her own territory.

It's not necessarily going to be damaged in the resurrection of the original ancestors, but if there are people like me who are trying to hold back, it's going to be a fight. I wonder if it involves the territory and the people in such a thing.

If you get into battle in Wang Du, I know it's hard because you'll find out what the plan is. All the more so because Dennis is already moving under the water.

That's why several times Cassandra's actions raise the question of whether she needs to pull her brothers down to risk the territory she has acquired.

- Maybe I'm misunderstanding something about my ancestors?

- Or is there no danger in what the Duke of Hagendorf is trying to do?

As things stand, Rasmus relies on information. From the clear storm as far as the original ancestors are concerned, from Dennis for Cassandra's movements, I am informed, but wonder if it is okay to pepper everything as it is.

The same is true with regard to the original ancestors.

From a dragon with a past that fought like the Sunstorms, he's the one you never want to be revived. Of course, Rasmus, a direct descendant, wants no resurrection in the same way, but for different reasons.

Because the former does not cause strife, and the latter wants to rest in peace.

It is both of us who think that if the original ancestors are resurrected, there will be a battle. But my thoughts on my ancestors are completely different.

"But I doubt it."

"Mr. Dennis?

"If you're relying on someone to resurrect your original ancestors, why did you bother to detain you? Is that what you can do without anyone noticing if you rely on yourself?

"It is, isn't it?"

"So why didn't you"

"Rasmus doesn't even know why the Duke of Hagendorf behaves," he said.

"I think Lord Cassandra has a purpose after he revives his ancestors. What he has to do, though. Otherwise, you would have used yourself to serve your purpose."

I agreed with that. It's like publicly declaring that you're going to involve someone at the time of detaining Jared in the first place.

Everyone will be on guard.

At first I even thought that might be a positive move, but the more I thought about it, the different I felt.

"But you think it's hard for the Duke of Hagendorf to get the person he wants because he can do the procedure so he doesn't have to pay for it."

"In the end, you just overlap your guesses because you haven't heard anything from yourself. I hope you can understand the situation by listening to the nanny."

"Um, hypothetically, don't you have to worry about getting something done in Wang Du right now? As far as I'm concerned, I'm more afraid of you."

I'm sorry I'm turning back now. With that wish, ask Dennis.

Then he smiled,

"I'm deploying my men to King's Capital. There are only a limited number of people, but we also ask you in advance, Mr. Torres Brauer and Mr. Adelina Bishoff, to monitor Lord Cassandra so that he can move quickly when he needs to."

He still told me that he was leading the way.

Torres and Adelina can be trusted because they are Jared's acquaintances.

If there's anything in the Wang capital, you can leave it to them.

Plus, the mansion has Pfile, Rosa's dependable family.

"Dear Murphy, I see where you're going."

"Where is it?

What you can see from the window of the carriage was what appears to be a villa built on the shore of the lake. But it belongs to the Duke's house, albeit the villa. It is the first size not to be seen in the Wang capital.

You can also feel the water reflecting the sun, the coolness surrounded by mountains and trees. Quiet above all else.

"It's a villa in the Duke of Hagendorf house, but its functionality has been lost a long time ago. This is the mansion given to you by Lord Cassandra's mother from the former Duke."

"You didn't live in the main house, did you?"

"Lord Cassandra came and went to the main house and the apartment, but his wife never left the apartment much. Sometimes I was weak, but I was worried that I didn't know what other wives were going to do."

"... at all, the noble one"

"I'm noble and so are you. I know how you feel."

Bitter Dennis. While I know it's a bad thing to be sympathetic to the person I'm about to fight, I still think of something extra given Cassandra's childhood situation.

"Lord Murphy, you have not yet been appointed court magician, but please do your best"

"Of course it is. It's not for everyone."

Among those who draw the blood of their original ancestors are Olivier and Emilia, as well as Yennie. I inherit a lot myself. Then you can't be ignorant.

I crept through the mansion gate and quietly the carriage stopped.

"If you're going to meet me, I'm Lord Cassandra's nanny."

"Yeah, I heard that earlier?

"... that's not all, actually, but also who served the country as the first seat of the former court magician"

"Yes?"

"'Shadow' before me and two named magicians, Lady Clawens Dort - who belong to my master."
