This Time, I Became the Fiance of a Duke's Daughter. But She is Rumored to have Bad Personality

"A candidate other than me is dead?

"Is it true?

"Unfortunately, it's true"

What a joke, I think Jared.

When it comes to candidates for court magicians, they are comparable in power to court magicians whose strength is recognized by the Societies of Mages and the Royal Palace, no matter how many candidates they may have.

It's not just power. Being talented or scarce qualities is unlikely to mean that people are different but have no strength at all.

Many of the places where the power of court magicians is exerted are battlefields. Alternatively, it must be a deterrent. Therefore, the ability to fight, whether talented or scarce, is required more than a certain amount.

It just sounds like a terrible joke, such as the murder of candidates for court magicians chosen to fill such empty seats for court magicians.

But it's also convincing. I don't know if Dennis, who belongs to the Sorcerer's Association, would know if a candidate for court sorcerer was murdered. Perhaps his association members are similar or stopping by.

"Has the killer been found?

"Unknown. We are currently examining each and every person who has a relationship with the victim. It'll take time."

There should be few people who only target candidates for court magicians. A corresponding strength is required. But I can't let this happen without motive.

No one can take his life for no reason.

"... I was doing a lot of research on court magicians. My father is the same. But it is the first time that a candidate for court magician has been murdered. Are they regulating information?

"I am. It is also for reasons of preserving the body of the Sorcerer's Association and the Royal Palace, but it could not be left unscathed due to the wishes of the surviving families. It was also decided that we should refrain from releasing information in order not to stir up the killer's mischief."

"But then there will be other damage?

"Olivier, you're right. We're also saying that information should be made public, but more than half the opinions that it shouldn't remain so."

Dennis, who distorts his face in remorse, needless to say, I suppose he thinks he should release information. But neither the Sorcerer's Association nor the Royal Palace intend to do so at this time.

"Mr. Dennis, can you tell me what information you're on the ground?

"I don't mind. If you are going after a candidate for court magician in a row, Master Murphy may also be in danger. I, of course, neither the Association nor the Royal Palace want it."

"Thank you. But I don't understand why you want to kill a candidate for court magician..."

If only one person, resentment, etc., was conceived. But one of the three candidates is from another country. I don't even think the resentment is connected.

"Um, do they really even target Jared?

"I can't be sure. But I think we should be more vigilant than candidates have in common."

"Do you have anything else in common?

"I don't really want to say that candidates other than Dear Murphy are the ones recommended by Conne, although they have the strength"

"... that's what happened?

Dennis nods at the surprise Olivier.

"Unfortunately, Conne has also become a necessary time. It must be evidence of peace compared to where the emphasis was solely on strength. I want to focus on strength when it comes to associations, but that's not going to happen more than countries get involved."

"Maybe Jared had connections, too?

"Only Master Murphy, the only candidate among these candidates - the disciples of court magicians and the adopted sons of relatives and powerful aristocrats - was a candidate purely on merit. Of course, being a magician of earth attributes with multiple attributes is also a big reason, but there is no cone whatsoever"

"Then I'm relieved."

Keeping Olivier at ease in his sight, Jared suspected that his involvement with the Duke's family made him anxious that he might have been selected as a candidate for court magician.

But I am told that there was talk of Olivier's candidacy for court magician before he was elected fiancée.

For Jared, it doesn't make a big difference because they were both suddenly taught at the same time. Even if it was Conne, I think that's fine. Networking is also a force. If you're simply a strong person, it might not make sense to be a court magician.

In that sense, Jared never thinks that the late candidates were recommended by Conne. If you have more than a certain strength and as much power as you can with a court magician, that shouldn't matter.

With all the beauty, things don't make it. Of course, ideal if every beauty comes true.

"This one was unprecedented. Originally an association that was under the water but was after the killer, the killing of the last of the candidates this morning caused a great panic. I had to tell Master Murphy immediately."

"Thank you for your concern. If it stayed this way, it could have been relative to the enemy without warning."

"This is my pleasure, and I apologize for keeping my information down. Well, it's hard to say, but when I told Master Murphy, some of the humans who thought it would be in the Duke's ear tried to clean things up by catching the killer in secret."

You thought it would be difficult for the murder of a candidate who didn't even know the Duke to get into the Duke's ear as a story that the killer could not be caught and even Jared could be targeted.

But reality couldn't catch the killer. It's only a matter of time before it reaches the ears of the Duke, more than it passed on to Olivier as well, not just Jared. No, it may be some day that the Duke has been briefed directly about the situation.

"We would also like to fully support the candidate as an association, beyond the fact that he has only become Master Murphy. Now, as you may think, please don't lose sight of the Sorcerer's Association!

"I don't know anything about associations. But I have two favors to ask."

"Shut up."

"First of all, I don't need an escort."

"Hey Jared! How could you do that?"

I also know Olivier's anger very well, but the story goes on. So I put my index finger up and blocked her mouth.

"It's not that I don't believe in associations, but I'm sorry to be watched by people who don't know where who they are. I also doubt if the escort should be trustworthy enough or not to be a foot wrapper. Above all, I don't want you to get any closer to this mansion than you need to."

"... ok. Indeed, there is too great a chance in the association members that it will be Mr. Murphy's foot clump. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to put my guard down, but let's have a drink."

"Thank you. And one more thing - show me the scene of the victim this morning."

"The scene, is it?

What you said you didn't need an escort was a surprisingly easy acceptance Dennis, but when you say you want to see the scene, you look sinister.

"Is there something wrong?

"Is it a problem, there are still traces of the victim's blood, and more importantly, the incident at the person's home, so I don't know if the survivors will accept it"

"Pfft, hey, I wonder how long you're going to hold my mouth with your fingers!

Olivier raised a protest when his lips were blocked halfway through the words.

"Oh, I'm sorry. But I'll complain in the middle of the conversation."

"Because you say you don't need an escort. I'm glad you care about us, but you don't have to be scared anymore."

"I'm not fine. So I don't need an escort. In the worst case scenario, don't worry."

I'm glad Olivier's worried, but Jared didn't want to keep an unspecified number of people close to the mansion.

I tried to say a lot of reasons earlier, but that's the only reason in the end.

"Even if we leave the escort thing behind, how can you be so lucky to get to the crime scene?

"If you're going to kill all the candidates for court magicians, I should be the target, too. Then I want to know the M.O. If you know the M.O., you just have to go to the crime scene."

Point your gaze at Dennis as you explain to Olivier.

I can't seem to argue with Jared because what he's saying is best.

"… so may I make a condition that if the survivors allow it?

"Of course it is. We don't even want to see the scene until we push off the family's opposition. I just want to do what I have to do."

"Then give us a moment. I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Dennis, reluctantly accepting Jared's offer, nodded tirelessly.
