*****
I thought I had become immune to handsome men, thanks to the men of the Visenna family, but I was wrong.
When I first saw the original, I was indifferent to Ferze, who was the villain and secondary male lead.
There was definitely a character whose face I liked the most, but now I can't even remember its name.
What I remember is that, he is the captain of the imperial knights who dated Riena, and one day shot an arrow into Sharkis heart.
*****
"Fairy."
Why a fairy all of a sudden?
Ferze, who was scratching his cheek as if embarrassed even after saying it.
"You..... Became a fairy? Instead of getting younger?"
"That's not it–."
Ferze looked at me with an annoyed look as we wandered around, unable to grasp the feeling.
No, you have to say something!
If you suddenly say 'Fairy,' who would understand?
The accumulated doubts were easily resolved.
"My childhood nickname."
Oh my god....!
Hello, everyone. The demon-slaying fairy has arrived at the duke's residence.
The Grand Duke, who was called the Djibril God of War and the Killer of Yekart on the battlefield....
*****
It wasn't because I was young that Ferze. proposed a contract marriage to Visenna.
It was to repay that debt, since his life was saved thanks to me.
Since this was a problem that couldn't be solved with money alone, he proposed a deal to Visenna and offered my status as an adopted daughter.
The Karnen mine that Ferze had offered as a condition of the deal was something that even the emperor coveted.
The magic stones and metals from the mine accounted for 30% of the Grand Duchy of Yekart's annual income.
Ferze couldn't have been a very kind person, and he certainly wasn't a magpie who repaid favors.
It was a huge loss for the Grand Duke, so he went ahead with the contract marriage.

The owner of the voice was wearing a black robe stained with blood.
He looked a little taller than me.
The person who approached was not a fully grown adult.
He was a boy not much older than me.
"...... Who, who are you?"
I didn't know how much magic the opponent had, and I had never used magic before, but I thought I should at least use defensive magic.
I heard a low chuckle, and the boy slid down the robe covering his face.
*****
- It's true, miss.
- You're lying, right? My dad told you to do that, right?
- How could I lie in front of you?
The answer I heard was always the same.
When I continued to ask, the aide gave the same answer.
It felt like I was talking to a parrot.
- I don't know much about this, so I'd like you to ask His Highness when he comes.....
In the end, he showed a puzzled expression.
I had no choice but to leave because I felt like if I asked anymore, the frail aide would collapse.
The news of the Grand Duke's death also spread throughout the rest of the Duke's estate as well.
*****
"No, just kidding."
I shook my head with a pale face.
Despite strongly denying that it was a joke, the doubts between the two did not go away easily.
Even though they weren't related by blood, it seems like Sharkis and Shurei are brothers.
They were both looking at me with narrowed eyes.
'Looking at it that way, there are quite a few similarities.'
What are you going to do?
Shurei, who had that look in his eyes, looked at me and burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded.
Phew, thank goodness.
*****
Knock, knock.
The office door opened with a knock.
As the aide entered, Eustia, who had been looking at the documents, raised his head.
"His Highness the Grand Duke of Yekartes has sent a letter."
That's really annoying news to hear.
Eustia reached out and took the letter from his aide.
Srak.
The letter sealed with red wax was opened with a paper knife.
Soon, the Grand Duke's fine handwriting came into view.
