Harnette showed interest in magic from an early age, but never received any books, let alone received any training related to it.
In the meantime, I had been secretly learning magic, but I had been self-taught, so I had no choice but to hit the limit soon.
Of course, even if you don’t do this, Hanette will grow naturally.
The main character will take the lead in stopping the enemies, and even if he is injured, the white apostle will quickly heal him.
But even now, if he stepped out, it would be of some help.
‘They say it’ll be hard to leave the house… I shouldn’t get hurt.’
Although he couldn’t remember everything about this world, he was certain of one thing.
Harnette Adelaira is not seriously injured and does not die until the end.
The ending wasn’t clearly stated, but at least they would enjoy a happier life than when they were in the mansion.
‘It’s not like I hate it.’
I couldn’t say that I had maintained a good relationship with Hannette from the engagement ceremony until now.
At every opportunity, they would quarrel, crudely grabbing the horse’s tail and sharpening their teeth at each other.
Even so, I didn’t hate Harnette or consider it an annoyance.
Even if we had a childish conversation, it was quite fun.
‘…Are you regretting it?’
Shion suddenly notices his heart and looks at Hanette.
What would happen if Harnette left after the main character?
It was a worry I had always had, and the same conclusion came out each time.
Of course, I always denied that conclusion, and I only reflected on that mindset in order not to be swept away by trivial emotions.
‘There’s no room for me.’
There was nowhere for extras to enter.
Of course, that role was originally given in the content, but now that he possesses it, he does not have to conform to the flow.
However, if you want to see a fixed ending, you have to draw a line.
‘It’s just going to be twisted… and I can’t show you the acid lane.’
If you move with the main character, the flow will definitely be twisted.

Knowing the future and moving forward, there was no choice but to have unintended results.
If it were a white apostle, he would recognize Exceed Rain, and would fight against him before he could persuade him.
‘If I can’t let Hanette go… what am I thinking?’
Shion flinches at the moment and is seized by a sense of alienation.
If Harnette is captured, the protagonist will create an order of knights while losing one of the main characters.
Besides, Harnette was tired of living in the mansion and was trying to escape somehow.
Even for Harnette, I had to make sure she was next to the main character.
‘Did you hear too much affection? Thinking like this…’
Shion shakes his head vigorously and clears his mind.
If you get wrapped up in trivial emotions, only your goals will be distracted.
Harnette was only a passing relationship with her and a daughter of a duke who was used for an arranged marriage.
In order to lead a peaceful life, he had to leave everything to the main character and establish his own foundation.
‘I must have lived a very lonely life.’
The time spent alone in modern society was not small.
I was always isolated and couldn’t trust anyone.
Maybe that’s why life in this world feels rather comfortable.
“Looks like everything is here?”
“Something looks expensive.”
“Looks like a lot of money.”
“It must be a lot. Only dozens of members… no, hundreds of people.”
Beyond the window with the harness, there was a gorgeous looking building.
The Magic Society spent money on the exterior of the building to catch people’s attention.
Aristocrats enjoyed extravagance and tended to spend money to elevate themselves.
Learning magic costs a lot of money, so I wanted to draw attention first and use that tendency.
“Oh, you mean guys like you?”
“…Sister, there’s no choice but to increase your mana.”
“You feel like you’re being scammed.”
“If I get hit, will I get hit or will my sister get hit?”
“Is that money from our family?”
“I got it from the Duke of Adelaira, so it’s my money now.”
“You saved it from our family.”
Shion looks at Hannette in amazement.
Unlike him, Hannette met that gaze as if asking what he was looking at.
“Once you cross it, it’s over. Don’t be so ugly.”
“You who spend money on something like this are uglier.”
“Stop nagging. We are not married yet.”
“It’s not nagging, it’s the truth. Do you think I will care about you when you get married?”
“Thank you for doing so.”
“I will manage the money.”
“Are you going to keep being ugly?”
“Where does this look ugly?”
“Whoa…”
Shion gets off the carriage first and scans the surroundings.
The escort knights came along, but they couldn’t be caught off guard.
Because the rebels have always been targeting the royal family and the two dukes.
“What are you doing?”
“I am protecting my sister.”
“Ahahahaha! There’s no way they’ll come out here.”
“… I must keep my promise.”
Hannette hesitates momentarily as she tries to get out of the carriage.
Something hot was rising from the heart.
It sounded like a loud beating sound hitting my chest.
“It’s fine? You can go back if you’re tired.”
“Oh, no. I was thinking about something for a second.”
Harnette gets off the carriage belatedly and is seized by a dizzying sensation.
My heart was still beating.
The closer I got to Zion, the more violently it seemed to shake.
‘Why are you doing this? I didn’t do anything…’
* * *
The mansion of the Duke of Adelaira, the family head’s room.
Yenid, unlike usual, was quite anxious and did not even touch the teacup.
Her eyes shook slightly, and she continued to look toward the window.
Robbins could only sigh, understanding the sentiment.
“What are you so worried about?”
“You met a group of bandits on the way back. You don’t really think they’re thieves, do you?”
“… not a thief. They must be the ones who hold a grudge against our family.”
Robbins answered nonchalantly and tilted the teacup.
Unlike him, Yenid jumped up from his seat in shock.
“My lord! Did you send out Harnett even though you knew that!”
“You can’t do that in the capital. Aren’t there many eyes to see?”
“I know where they are and what they are doing!”
“So you’re saying we won’t let Hannette leave the mansion for the rest of our lives?”
“That… that…”
Yenid finally lowered his voice and sat back down.
As Robbins said, he couldn’t let Harnett stay in the mansion until he died.
You can only control that temper by gambling or drinking, but if you don’t even do that, you could have a seizure.
“What can I do if I stay inside the mansion? Can I just leave the gambling and drinking that I love to do in the mansion?”
“…”
“Just because they stay inside doesn’t mean they disappear. And no matter how good they are, they can’t do anything in the capital. Do you think there is a capital garrison and police force for nothing?”
“What the lord said is right. Still, there is such a thing as if, right?”
“Huh… yes. Like you said, there might be an if. That’s why I increased the number of escort knights, and I wrote a hand in advance to the capital garrison and security guard. Can’t you be relieved with this?”
Yenid understands that, but shows a distrustful expression.
Even if there was an escort article, it could be attacked, and the capital garrison and security forces did not always follow only where Harnett was.
In other words, it is safest not to leave the mansion, but if that happens, Hanette will become a ruined person.
It was only complicated in my head because I couldn’t do this or that.
“If you still don’t believe it, shouldn’t you believe in Zion?”
“… Aren’t you a little anxious? You are still young.”
“Didn’t I tell you last time? Sword skill is not something anyone can use. With such a strong swordsman hanging out next to Hanette, what kind of crazy guy would attack?”
Robbins sent his trusty escort knights to Harnette, but he did not fully trust them.
Among them, there was no one who could use sword skills, and there was no guarantee that they would surely block the enemy’s surprise attack.
However, if you were a strong fighter using sword skills, you wouldn’t even be able to approach it recklessly, let alone attack.
“I should think of something else. Why do you think they were aiming for Hanette?”
“That’s right, I have a grudge against my family…”
“Having a grudge is a fundamental problem. Isn’t there any reason for them to only target Hanette?”
“…?”
Yenid thinks about it for a while and then has a question.
Obviously, there were people other than Hannett that he could target.
He could have targeted himself, Robbins, or Harnette’s younger siblings.
But why did he attack Harnet?
“They were looking for an opening. I can’t do anything in the capital, so I’m just being quiet.”
“Then, aiming for Hanette…”
“Didn’t you get out of the capital? I have to target when the escort knights are tired, so they must have deliberately attacked on the way back.”
“But that’s where Zion came from.”
“How could they know something that even the Marquis Reggiard didn’t know? In front of swordsmanship, even dozens of knights are no match. I knew that, so I backed off first.”
Robbins was very upset when he heard the news at the time, but he was also delighted.
Because Shion personally stepped forward to protect Hanette.
In addition, the purpose of the arranged marriage had to change because he even used sword skills.
“Why do you think I allowed you to go out? It’s because I believe in Shion Regard. A swordsman who uses swordsmanship is more than enough to protect my daughter!”
Currently, there are many rumors going around about Shion Regard in the social world.
That he had never held a sword, that his swordsmanship skills were poor, that he had never worked as a knight, etc.
But from the moment I saw the results, those words were useless.
Even within the kingdom of Alain, there weren’t many people who could use sword skills.
“I know what you mean. If you think so, I feel relieved.”
“… I don’t want much from the Marquis of Reggiard anymore.”
“Yes? Didn’t you have an arranged marriage with the immediate royal family in mind?”
“It’s something other families can do. Even if the Ternane side takes it, it won’t ruin our family.”
Yenid belatedly recognized the meaning of the words.
Apparently, he himself was quite disappointed that Shion Regard was mediocre.
However, after using the sword technique, it could no longer be called ordinary.
“Lineal royalty? A 19-year-old aristocrat uses swordsmanship, so what’s the big deal?
Now, Shion Reggiard is more important than the Marquis of Reggiard. I have to hold onto it even for Harnett.”
Heh mc’s rizz really Killin it🗿🗿
