Fernando Markland—my sister Isabella's fiancé, who inherited the position of Marquess at the young age of 16 after his father passed away.
Even before he inherited the position of Marquess, my sister was already betrothed to him, so it's not something that can be easily dismissed.
Even though I understand that—
"Whether it's you or me, the fact that a Norman family daughter will marry the Marquess won't change, right? I heard the countryside has a lot of bugs, so I don't like it."
Can't you refrain from saying something that could potentially ruin the future relationship between the Norman and Markland families just because there are a lot of bugs?
But, my sister, with those eyes, will never change her mind.
She absolutely hates what she dislikes.
She doesn't want what she's tired of.
She discards what is broken.
That's the kind of person Isabella is.
"I'll try to talk to him. With Fernando... Please join us, sister."
"Ah! I don't want to, it would be awkward. And, don't tell Father. He'll get angry if he finds out."
No, even if I were to marry Fernando, it would be impossible to keep it a secret.
I don't understand what my sister means. I don't understand, but I can't let Isabella run wild, so I'll try to talk to him.
Just as a consultation—
"Isabella doesn't like living in the countryside, so you want to be my fiancée? Hmm, that's a problem. I didn't expect you to say something like that suddenly."
When I consulted him, Fernando reacted as expected.
As always, his golden hair is so beautiful that even I, a woman, envy it—
After all, she's talking about breaking off a marriage that was decided years ago just because she doesn't like living in the countryside or because there are a lot of bugs.
Fernando's reaction of being troubled is probably due to his good character.
"You're right. I understand that I'm asking for too much. Well, I'll—"
Pushing further would only worsen the impression.
It's an impossible request.
I'll try to persuade my sister again, and if it doesn't work, I'll have to leave it be.
Father is ultimately too lenient with my sister, so he might choose to dissolve the engagement as peacefully as possible and cut ties with the Markland family.
"Wait a moment!"
"Fernando... sir?"
As I stand up to leave, Fernando stops me.
He looks at me with sapphire-like eyes, as if trying to convey something. What is it?
"Silvia, I heard you can use that 'Regeneration Magic.' Is that true? I have a broken fountain pen that was a keepsake from my father. Can you fix it?"
"Yes, I can. May I touch it?"
Fernando takes out a rather old and expensive-looking fountain pen from his bag. It's indeed broken in several places, with fine cracks, and completely unusable.
After confirming his nod, I touch the fountain pen—
"Regeneration Magic—!"
The broken fountain pen is enveloped in a golden light and gradually returns to its original, brand-new state.
This Regeneration Magic, due to the constraints set by its creator, cannot revive the dead, but it can restore any object.
The longer an object has been broken, the more time and magic power it takes to restore it, but this one is relatively easy to fix.
"Amazing! Amazing, Silvia...—Well, Isabella's change of heart is disappointing, but if Silvia is willing, I would like to make you my fiancée. There's something I need your help with."
"Wh-what...?"
Fernando stands up, takes my hand, and praises my Regeneration Magic.
Then, he offers to make me his fiancée—
R-really, is it okay for me to replace my sister...?
Regeneration Magic is quite overpowered.
