Chapter Index

    Claude looked at the round back of his head that was moving away.

    I knew for sure after joining the Knights.

    I knew it, but the duke doesn’t do anything special.

    While holding the position of general manager, should I see him once a week or not?

    On the other hand, the young lady’s face shines as if every day passes by.

    He felt sorry for what he had done, so he just watched from afar, but he finally said hello.

    But the young lady looked at me with mysterious eyes, as if she had forgotten who she was.

    ‘Maybe it’s because I feel burdened or something.’

    The real power of the dukedom is the young lady.

    It must have been the young lady’s plan to include herself in the knights’ order.

    Perhaps to see through and correct one’s own conceit.

    “Ah… the lady is gone…”

    All knights can die without a single word from the young lady.

    Thanks to the young lady, the magic that remained in the 4th circle was also enlightened.

    Claude’s pink eyes sparkled with faith.

    It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, less than a month had passed… It made me laugh.

    It was that difficult when I first came to the Knights.

    When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by rugged men. Sometimes there were women, but their gaze was harsh.

    ‘You messed with the lady?’

    Where else would you have been treated like this?

    ‘what? Dog? If you know who I am, I am the evil… of Count Kabal’s family. !’

    I was hit in the back by what I said out of reflex.

    At that time, it was so painful that tears came to my eyes.

    The knights who acted like gentle sheep in front of the young lady were quite, no, quite rough.

    It’s embarrassing to even think about how I boasted about my talent in front of a girl who had already acquired a duchy and had reached the 7th circle at the age of 5.

    Thanks to Miss A’s formula, casting became surprisingly fast.

    Circle 5 at age 15.

    In the past, I would have taken it for granted and boasted about people who would tell me I was a genius.

    But it’s different here.

    All of the duke’s knights are circle 4 or higher.

    furthermore… Compared to the young lady, myself.

    ‘It’s a bug.’

    more. I will become stronger and become your sword.

    “Ugh… .”

    As I was looking in the direction the young lady left for a while, I was hit on the back by the vice-captain.

    “Our youngest, we should at least be able to use sword skills and magic at the same time, right?”

    Flame-red hair, a small scar on his cheek. Sword Master and 5th Circle Master. Magic is similar to mine, but swordsmanship is incomparable.

    “I will definitely do it within this week!”

    Feeling my back tingle, I braced myself and swung my sword, which felt like it was going to twist.

    ‘This too is the whip of love given by the young lady!’

    * * *

    As we pass the parade ground, the scenery changes.

    The eastern annex certainly had a lot of flowers and trees. As I approached the main building, it was a bit desolate… .

    “Have you become senile?”

    “It’s senility! After all, a young lady has to get married, right?”

    A voice comes from the corner of the building.

    ‘hmm? ‘What is this familiar voice?’

    When I leaned against the wall and stuck my head out, I saw my father and Grandpa Herman talking at the main entrance of the main building?

    I listened to the conversation.

    “So why are you harassing your unloved grandson?”

    “How smart my grandson is… !”

    “My child is a genius. It’s true that I’m less smart.”

    “Well, that’s… .”

    After listening for a moment… .

    ‘It’s true that I’m senile.’

    What kind of marriage talk is it to a 5-year-old? .

    “Tsk tsk.”

    I clicked my tongue and shook my head.

    That old man somehow thought that jujeop was no joke… .

    “But, won’t you need it someday? Wouldn’t it be okay to just get engaged, an engagement that can be canceled at any time?”

    “……”

    “You are already having a hard time with the marriage talk coming from the second lady. Perhaps in a few years, that amount will increase dozens of times. To put it simply, it’s camouflage.”

    Talking alone? This is my first time hearing this?

    “It’s camouflage… .”

    “It’s a simple contract. Wouldn’t it be okay if she couldn’t find someone she liked?”

    “…”

    “A son-in-law is also available!”

    So, if there’s no one I want to marry, shouldn’t I just get married?

    ‘What… is that a noble lady?’

    Still, I don’t want to live like that.

    In the first place, engagement and marriage are originally contracts.

    It’s a real raccoon. He cleverly targeted my father’s weak spot.

    “Son-in-law… .”

    In fact, it seemed a bit tempting.

    I thought about it once.

    Delil son-in-law… .

    It’s nice not having to leave the Duke’s residence.

    Unpleasant memories flashed by.

    To put it bluntly, I don’t like it.

    Perhaps my past life has a big influence.

    So, if we look at Grandpa Hermann’s logic, it is like this.

    I am a girl, so someday I will get married.

    Dad wants to be with me, so he wants to bring in his son-in-law.

    And the subject was Grandpa Hermann’s grandson.

    If you have a fiancé, annoying marriage talks disappear.

    Of course, it’s a formal engagement, and you can call it off later if you don’t like it.

    But if you don’t buy it, you’ll end up getting married… ?

    “Is it okay to not have children? ?”

    “Yes?”

    “What… ?”

    I made a sound without realizing it and covered my mouth.

    I’m a kid and I’m having a baby?

    no… . You should know. Because she’s a woman. Still, I’ve never experienced anything like that in my past life, and to be honest, I’m embarrassed.

    “Laria… . After giving birth. Because my health deteriorated rapidly.”

    “Ah… . hmm. Well, there is another method called adoption, and it is an engagement in the first place… .”

    What is that!? I felt like my dad, who I thought would never happen, was shaken.

    I know that in this world, it’s not uncommon for parents to get their daughters engaged without asking.

    ‘I do not want to.’

    If you get engaged to me without telling me, you’re a real dad. No, I won’t even call you dad.

    “Still… . I’m still 5 years old. Even if it’s an engagement, it’s quick. Above all, I respect my daughter’s opinion.”

    ‘okay! ‘This is how my dad is!’

    I nodded.

    I’ll have to pat your head later.

    “…There’s a lot of talk these days because of the young lady. The matriarch showed us such a smart, genius, cute, cute, and lovely side along with showing us how much she cherishes us… . Parents have already lined up to say they want to make her their daughter-in-law. At a young age, he was already good at using magic, and he was good at hiding his magic, so I don’t think anyone other than the boy who was directly attacked and me noticed his exact level, but it’s only a matter of time.”

    I thought it would be a little annoying if I got caught, but I didn’t want to get upset while hiding it!

    It’s a bit awkward to say this to your grandfather, but isn’t your tongue too long?

    “There’s nothing we can do about it. Because my daughter is really lovely. Small, cute, genius, excellent, smart…”

    Dad lifted his chin arrogantly. I started bragging about my daughter.

    How can they change the same words little by little and continue them as if they were singing the national anthem?

    “But, she is my daughter.”

    Is the shame mine?

    “Pay no attention.”

    “Nooo.”

    Grandpa is also quite a strong enemy.

    Instead of being disgusted by such an idiot, you nod your head and sympathize with her… .

    ‘That old man is definitely not normal either.’

    I thought about it, but my head nodded in rational thought.

    “Count. I understand what you are concerned about.”

    “……”

    “Whatever it is, it’s still too early.”

    of course! I’m 5 years old!

    After my dad’s birthday, that old man came and went to our house.

    So, about a week ago?

    I once ran into him while taking a walk.

    All-white hair mixed with gray and white hair, sharp eyes like those of my grandfather in a previous life.

    It was when I swallowed my saliva, feeling nervous at the sight of a tall person looking down at me.

    ‘miss. ‘Would you like to take care of my grandson?’

    For a moment, I wondered what I had heard.

    At that time, my father appeared from nowhere and snatched me up with lightning speed, so I couldn’t hear any more. After listening to it today, I understand.

    Even though a raccoon is a raccoon, it seems to be a bit sick.

    “Grunt. I thought it was cute to see my grandchildren having fun… . Even if I have two grandchildren combined, I can’t get enough of just one daughter… .”

    Well, that’s because my posture is so upright, because I’m over 60 years old.

    “She is my daughter.”

    “Yes… . I hope you like it. You have two cute daughters.”

    My father and I made eye contact.

    I felt awkward, feeling like I was caught eavesdropping on a conversation. That’s true, but that’s also my own conversation, right?

    ‘I was so caught off guard.’

    Dad’s eyes blink rapidly. Then he rubs his eyes once and strides towards me at high speed. The expression on his face was as if he was anxious as to where I had heard it from and to what extent.

    “……Dad?”

    “Marian.”

    In times like this, it’s the child’s privilege.

    “Hehe.“

    I smiled brightly and cast I Don’t Know Anything.

    “Ha.”

    Arden hugged Marian and sighed.

    My daughter is as pretty and cute as a butterfly, but I never thought she could hide her presence as well as a butterfly…

    ‘It’s also a problem to be too good.’

    *

    “Hello, Miss Marian.”

    At my grandfather’s words, I sighed and patted my father’s chest.

    “Dad.”

    Dad had a dissatisfied expression on his face, but he put it down carefully.

    “Lady, I plan to earn money for retirement in my later years.”

    Even though he was an old man, I thought his head was too high as he was over 180cm tall. However, as if he had good joints, he bent his knees to bring me to eye level, and the relaxed expression on his face made me look like a grandfather who was in a state of insanity.

    “So?”

    I answered sullenly.
