"But, Charlotte...... If you learn magic, I'll have to banish you from the Clayderman family lineage according to the clan rules!"

Charlotte looked back at Lawrence, the Grand Duke of Erosa and the patriarch of the Clayderman family, who was waiting for Charlotte's reply with a serious expression. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info His expression was solemn and dull, and it was clear that he wasn't joking.

"So, what's the answer?"

It was Sylvia urging.

What should we do? On the one hand, the Clayderman family, who gave birth to him and sheltered him from the wind and rain, and on the other hand, his own ideals and future.

Charlotte the Traveler is once again back in the tangled multiple-choice question of her previous life.

The answer is in my heart. In his previous life, for the expectations of his parents and relatives, he chose an industry that he hated. Do you still have to live like before in this life?

Even though I am very unfilial, even though I am very selfish, I really want to chase my dreams!

For the first time in her life, Charlotte has determined her ideals, she wants to achieve her roots, and she wants to become the root mage who can render the world on her thoughts!

"I'm sorry, my father, my mother, my old-fashioned brother, and my lovely sister. Sure enough...... Or do you want to chase your dreams!"

The invisible magical stance on her body gently embraced her, allowing Charlotte to turn around and bow deeply to the family that raised him. It was the first time he had addressed each other formally as father and mother, and he looked up, wanting to imprint their appearance deeply in the depths of his soul.

Lawrence and Mrs. Rebecca held each other in their arms, and they embraced Aven, Vivien Leigh, and Charlotte with gentle and kind smiles on their faces.

Charlotte hugged her closest family members and felt their warm body temperature and powerful heartbeat.

A large hand was placed over his head, and Lawrence's words of relief were heard.

"Go, Charlotte, go chase your dreams!"

"Charlotte, even if it's no longer a bloodline in the Clayderman lineage, remember that you will always be my and Lawrence's child, the brother of Evan and Vivien Leigh. ”

"Hmm!"

Charlotte nodded vigorously at them, then he turned around and bowed deeply to Sylvia.

"Please leave it to you, Mr. Sylvia!"

Is it an illusion? The inorganic puppet girl seemed to have shallow dimples on her face, and she slammed the cup back on the plate and shook her head slightly at Charlotte.

"No, I'm not your teacher. From now on, you can call me my sister. To be honest, I don't know if such a decision was the right one. Mages need sanity and order, and teaching a guy like you to become a mage is a crazy decision. ”

Sylvia said something crazy, but there was no such exaggerated expression on her face. Then, the message conveyed in the words turns.

"Still, there's no better way to be a mage than a messy guy like you......"

She stood up, obviously a delicate girl, but she looked more imposing than the tall Lawrence. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, the beautiful maiden made her announcement in a flat tone.

"From this day forward, Charlotte Clayderman is my brother Sylvia. I announce that he will be the next Grand Duke of Icewind Castle! Would you like Charlotte, Grand Duke of Icewind Castle?"

Is it actually the Grand Prince? What an unexpected development!

"I do!"

Charlotte clenched her fists, and he knew that from today, he was about to usher in a new life!

~~~~

"Do you hear me, Dema and Dinah, from today onwards, please call me Lord Grand Duke of Icewind Castle! Two little maids, keep a humble and servant attitude, and serve your future master with all your heart!"

Early the next morning, Charlotte, who happened to meet the two bastard maids of Demardina, immediately put on a face of shameless aristocrats.

"Aha, do you hear me, Dinah. There's a wolfhound barking early in the morning. ”

"Sister, sister, a certain wolfdog doesn't seem to know at all, the so-called Grand Duke of Icewind Castle has an unbelievably long shelf life! Maybe when someone ends that sad life, the title on his head will still be the poor Grand Duke!"

"Agreed!"

The two maids sang and said in harmony, and their **** contempt for Charlotte could be seen in their blue pupils.

What a shock!

Although their attitude is super infuriating, but, it seems, it seems, what they say is really reasonable!

Sylvia has survived from the War of Annihilation, and she still looks like a healthy 17-year-old girl, so the so-called Grand Duke of Icewind Castle...... When exactly will he be in power?

"Original...... Icewind Castle doesn't need the Grand Duke at all......"

Seeing Charlotte, who was on crutches, turn gray and white, the two maids laughed and clapped each other's palms and left the hallway. From their cheerful appearance humming nursery rhymes, you can feel their excited mood at this moment.

It seems that Charlotte, who can beat the arrogance, is one of the few pleasures in their daily life.

"Now, Elle. I suddenly felt like I was on a thief ship!"

Of course, Elle couldn't have responded to him, and the book with the white jade cover lay quietly in his arms, and apart from the occasional feeling of the tide of magical energy she was breathing, the gorgeous book didn't look anything special.

It's also natural, because Charlotte's mental image world has exhausted its magical energy, and even if it is as strong as the evidence of the root, it has to fall into a deep sleep.

This wasn't because the Book of Etroac was only capable of using a pseudo-root spell, but because Charlotte was too rough and wasteful in her use of magical energy. In fact, according to Sylvia, the Mind World only used about ten percent of the magic energy of the Root Certificate, and most of the rest was shamefully wasted by Charlotte.

And not only that, since retrieving El from Sylvia, Charlotte discovered that all the space-time spell notes on Lu Sien's research in the Book of Atroac were missing.

When Charlotte asked Sylvia, the newfound sister replied to him.

"Space-time magic is too obscure and difficult, and it is too dangerous for you to come into contact with that level of spell now, so I sealed all the contents on it. ”

Despite some resentment, Charlotte knew that all objections were null and void for Sylvia, so he reluctantly accepted the result.

"Really, when the hell are you stupid going to wake up? Without you, I always feel a little lonely......"

"W-What loneliness?"

The girl's soft voice sounded from behind her, and Charlotte turned around to see the girl with long red hair and pale red pupils curling her long hair, looking at Charlotte with a shy and timid expression.

"Listen, I heard that you became the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, right? Tomorrow...... You're leaving Erosa, aren't you?"

It was Cecilia, Charlotte's once titular fiancée.

This tsundere girl wore a noble long dress, the intricate patterned lace made her look like a fairytale princess, and the crimson gold belt outlined her slender waist. Because of the rosy cheeks, her slightly charming face is even more attractive.

"Well, yes. But as long as I have time, I'll go back to Erosa. ”

Cecilia was startled by his softness in a different tone than before, and the girl blushed and babbled in anticipation.

"Who-who cares about this! Learn your magic, a messy guy like you, it's better not to run around to Erosa and make trouble!

As soon as the words came out, I regretted it!

Cecilia, you are such a fool, you didn't mean to say this, you obviously wanted to bless him, obviously because Charlotte was leaving, you would feel lonely!

I must be annoyed by him......

The warm palm gently patted the top of Cecilia's head, and the girl looked up to see Charlotte's bright smile.

"Haha, don't worry! Cecilia. Although I will probably still cause trouble in the future, I will still ignore aristocratic etiquette, and I will still be arrogant and annoying...... Well, I'm not a member of the Clayderman family anymore, and Cecilia can't bind me with those rules. When you think about it, there's a strange sense of loss, haha!"

"Charlotte, even if you are not on the Clayderman lineage, you can't forget your noble status as a thousand-year-old nobleman!"

Being patted on the head by Charlotte, Cecilia had to roll her pale red eyes and look at Charlotte with a cowardly expression from the bottom up.

"Yes, yes, yes, be careful to become an old woman with such a nag!"

"Who's going to be an old woman! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Charlotte smiled and touched the back of her head, and blessed Cecilia with a rare attitude.

"Cecilia, take care of yourself, too. ”

Realizing that this might be a parting message for being alone, Cecilia looks lonely like a lonely puppy.

"Well, you too, take care of yourself. ”

Seeing Charlotte's back walking away with her crutches, Cecilia lowered her head sadly.

Everything will be different in the future, Charlotte's decision is the right one and must be supported. However, nominally, Charlotte, who became the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle, will no longer belong to the Clayderman family, and all his actions past, present, and future will have nothing to do with Clayderman. That means......

"Marriage Contract...... Is that the end of it?"

Cecilia remembered that afternoon four years ago, when her father informed her that she was betrothed to be married, and that she would announce it at the dinner that night. Cecilia, who was ignorant, but felt that she had been put in invisible shackles, sat on the swing in the small garden of the castle with an inexplicable sense of loss.

A lonely man swinging on a swing while all the relatives and servants in the castle were busy with the evening dinner, rejoicing in the joyous decision.

No one cares what a child thinks, even if that child is the sole heir to the future county of Earl Ferrard.

Then, the little boy with short black messy hair and a mess of the noble clothes hung by thorns appeared.

He has beautiful azure pupils and a hearty smile. He bit the green fruit with one hand, spat the peel indiscriminately without manners, grasped the branch firmly with the other, and stepped firmly on the branch with both feet.

When the fruit was finished, he threw one to Cecilia, who couldn't figure out the situation.

"Here you go! If you stay here alone, you can't stand the nasty atmosphere of the banquet! Hehe, do you want to pick up fruit with me to eat?"

By the godsend, Cecilia put the dirty fruit in her mouth, and when she took a bite of the green and slightly sweet flesh, the tender juice bloomed in her taste buds.

It was an ordinary fruit, and it even had a bit of a green taste because it was not ripe enough, but Cecilia felt that it was the best delicacy she had ever tasted in her life.

So, she nodded to the boy in a whimsical way.

That afternoon, Cecilia ran to her heart's content in the summer sun, colorful butterflies fluttering around her. She followed the boy like a normal peasant woman, and as soon as the boy threw the fruit from the tree, she panicked and carried it in her white skirt.

Dirty, like a wild cat. The fruits were not eaten in the end, they were treasured by Cecilia in her secret little treasure chest, and now all that remained of the fruit was the shriveled pit.

But that was Cecilia's most precious memory, a treasure of Cecilia's life.

Later, she learned the name of the little boy, who was Charlotte the Troublemaker, the second in line to the line of the Clayderman family who would accompany her for the rest of her life......

She had thought that the dream would last forever, but now, she woke up. The little girl, who was happily running after the boy, had to get back on the lonely swing.

"But this time, the little girl will get off the swing. Even if there is no little boy in the orchard, she will be brave enough to chase his back!"

Cecilia wiped the tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, and she made her own decision with her hands clenched into fists!
