What if the villainous aristocrat who is the middle boss remembers his previous life and gains knowledge of the game – I will never accept a future in

I'll think about where to go out and such when I get back, but there's no point in me being here anymore.

Finally,

"Well, hey ......, go easy on her a little bit."

I'll tell Naamis to curb her education a bit, she might get sick from fatigue if she continues like this.

?I understand. I'll explain to Mina that Master Khalil was hoping for more time to rest since she seems tired."

I see. ......."

The explanation was somewhat malevolent, but there was nothing more that could be done about it.

Good luck, Mina.

'We're back on track!'

"'Ha, Yes!

Mina's voice sounded like she was about to cry when the door closed.

"Hang in there."

I muttered one last time and left the place.

I walked around the mansion at random, decided on a few people as candidates to take with me, and returned to the study.

"Welcome back."

Bosco, who was gathering papers, called out to me as I entered the room.

I raise my hand to greet him lightly and take out the completed magic potion from the item box and show it to Bosco.

"I finally completed the magic potion I wanted.'

"My congratulations."

"The effect of this potion is a complete healing of abnormal conditions. It can cure not only paralysis, but also any kind of poison, even if it's caused by time-consuming injuries."

That is a great effect, ......".

I can see his hands are shaking somewhat.

That's probably true, there are tons of poisons in this world for which there is no cure.

For instance, in the dungeon of a mountain river called the Poison River, there are many monsters that have poison as a means of attack that cannot be cured, and the poison of these monsters is traded at a high price for assassination through the back channels.

However, with this magic potion, the poison can be cured. In other words, high-ranking nobles would be willing to pay a lot of money to get it.

"I am thinking of offering it to the royal family to get their support against the duke."

This is something we have talked about a few times before, but this is the final confirmation.

"I must confess that I have no idea how the king will react to the situation.

I am sorry I cannot help you."

No, I can't imagine how His Majesty would react either, never mind."

Before I regain my knowledge, even I, who have actually met him, can't predict it, so it's no wonder that Bosco can't tell.

"Aside from that, is there any problem?"

'No problems have occurred with the business at the Count's house, except for a letter from the Duke's house that arrived just a short while ago.'

"A letter?"

Is that it? Is that the reply to the letter I wrote to him asking him to go to the royal capital with me as a partner?

'Huh, that's depressing. ......"

I opened the envelope and read the contents.

After all, it was a reply to my letter, not written by my fiancée, but by the duke, who wrote that she agreed to go with me and that she was looking forward to it.

Even she didn't want to write it, so if she wants to write that she is looking forward to it, let her write it herself.

I was getting frustrated.

"......[Torch Fire, Come forth]"

As I watched the letter from the duke burn and turn to ashes with irritating emotions, I felt my heart lighten soooo much.

Rather than the feeling of having done it, the exhilaration of having done it prevailed.

"I will take care of all the Count's affairs from now until the departure, and I would like Bosco to make preparations for the party."

"Yes, of course."

I took over the business from Bosco and looked through the documents.

The territory has not had any major problems since the funds were reallocated and is generally moving in the right direction.

The revenues are increasing, and in another year, I will be able to save enough to start a new business.

My reputation is also improving, though slowly.

"Maybe it's because I knew how hard it was to make ends meet before, but it's a lot easier now that I'm so stable."

"Yes, that's right."

I looked over the documents and repeated my signature.

Until the carriage and Mina are ready, I can concentrate on the Countess's business.

It would be nice to socialize with the magic potions masters during the break.

A peaceful time is spent reading documents that are free of all the nuisances that make you want to hold your head in your hands.

Bang!

"Brother!"

The door opened vigorously and Maria came inside.

'...... have many things to say, but first knock when you enter the study, so what's up?"

'I, I want to help the slums!

"!"

I never thought that the event that would lead Maria to leave the Countess' family would happen now. ......

I knew a lot of information about Maria because she was one of capture targets and I was going to prevent that event from happening.

But considering the party that was about to take place, it would be difficult to stop it, in fact, I couldn't even get involved.

"All right."

'Then let's begin...'

"But that will come after I return from King's Landing. This is absolutely non-negotiable.

"Ugh, I understand. ......"

That was the end of my conversation with Maria.

Whenever we saw each other again, I kept asking her to be patient, but she started to rebel against me as if she was being rushed into something.

'Am I not allowed to think about the people of my territory?"

'I didn't say that, I said that Maria must wait for my return because it is too big a problem for one person to undertake alone".

"There are my subjects who are suffering even as we speak, you know?!'

I felt that Maria's condition should not be treated as stubbornness, so I checked for any kind of brainwashing or inducement, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

In the end, even just before the departure, I could not persuade Maria, and I decided that it would be dangerous to give her the position of deputy head of the family.

"Maria was not to be the deputy head of the family, but Bosco and Naamis would be given a 7:3 split of the authority."

"Yes, Master."

To be sure, I bound her with contract magic so that she could not use it for personal gain.

I was going to go to the party held in the royal capital while feeling the tremendous anxiety that Maria's change was happening to the count's family.
