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

Two days after a wonderful evening of dining with Mina, it was finally the day of the party.

"Good morning."

'Oh, good morning ......."

I receive a wet towel from the maid who says she is Mina's best friend.

I was supposed to be prepared last night and went to sleep feeling good, but in the morning I didn't have any of that feeling remaining.

I wish I could go with Mina. ......"

"......!"'

If only that fiancée had fought against her father, I wouldn't have felt this way .......

I heard that the Duke did not bring the protagonist, and my partner would be my fiancée.

"As for today's schedule..."

"I'm sorry, don't say any more than that. ......"

"Yes, of course."

Please do not bother to make me face the ugly reality here.

"Hmm?"

It's a little noisy downstairs.

But the fish I summon for security don't seem to be moving, and they don't seem to be the enemy, so what's all the fuss about this morning?

"Is something wrong?"

"I'm just a little concerned about the noise downstairs."

"Noisy, you say?'

Oh, I've done it.

I can hear them because my hearing is enhanced by the power of jealousy, but it seems that normal people can't hear this noise.

'Let's go a little further."

After lightly adjusting my appearance so that I would not be embarrassed to be seen, I went downstairs with the maid.

On the way down, the noisy voices were replaced by the sound of footsteps, and they were getting closer and closer.

"Khalil-sama!'

The footsteps were coming from the count's guards, one of whom was wearing an unfamiliar armor.

The emblem on his chest indicates that he is a member of the duke's family. What is he doing here? ......

What's the matter, isn't that the Duke's liaison there?"

Without hiding my grumpiness, I looked at him and kneeled a little forward "

'His Excellency the Duke Ewell has a message for Count Dickaman.'

"...... wait a moment."

The count's guards scattered around the area to see if anyone was listening, and after a quick check, they urged the liaison to speak to them.

In fact, Nora Ewell has gone missing.

'!"

Good! I had faith in you, lady Ewell, you've done well here.

"There was a letter left for her in her bedroom, and the content of it said that she would be at the party, so don't worry about it.

Also, the Duke would like to come by after the party to apologize."

Will she be at the party?

If this is the day before the party, it's okay to assume she'll come back, but it's safer to assume she won't come back for this on the day of the party.

Or rather, don't come back.

I understand.

Tell the Duke if he doesn't find you by noon, I'll get you a partner."

"......I understand "

The liaison gets up and leaves.

In order to get the maid to prepare the clothes for Mina, the replacement for the partner who will almost certainly be needed.

"You don't have to start dressing yet, but just get your clothes ready.'

"Yes, Master!"

"And..."

"I'm leaving!"

There was something else I wanted to tell her, but that's okay.

Next, the guards,

I want you to look for Lady Ewell.

No need to be serious about finding her, I only want to make it clear that I was involved in the search."

"Yes, Master."

The count's side is trying to minimize the possibility of being blamed for the situation.

The guards are running out and the instructions are finished.

All I could do was pray that she would not come back.

ーーーーー

Let me tell you about the results.

First, as a matter of course, Nora Ewell could not be found and did not return, and I had to ask Mina to be my partner.

I can't say enough wonderful things about her.

"How do you like it?"

Mina in her dress was very charming.

The maids who were collapsing behind Mina with exhausted expressions on their faces were not bothered at all by Mina's presence.

'Beautiful."

'Oh, thank you!"

No further words came out.

No, precisely, I cannot say it because the words would interfere with Mina's beauty.

'Let's head out then."

'Yes."

Holding out my hand to Mina, I begin to escort her, and the two of us get into the carriage for the short five-minute ride.

"......"

Mina's body is stiff as she sits across from me, and I can tell from her expression that she is very nervous.

I am nervous too, having attended a few parties.

It is no wonder that Mina, who is not an aristocrat and has never been to a party in the first place, is nervous.

Oh well, the fact that it's her first party, an important one, must be weighing on her, too...

"It's huge. ......"

I change my mind as I see the gates of the Royal Castle approaching. Focus up, because the place we're heading to now is the battlefield.

I finally made it this far.

It occurred to me, could I have attended this party as the jealous Count?

I, who have lost my obsession with my fiancée, was able to attend with Mina as my partner, but I can't imagine anyone other than Nora Ewell standing as my partner with my knowledge of the Jealous Count. ......

If this party thing is the kicker to becoming the Jealous Count, I will no longer be called the Jealous Count.

But the problems are mounting, for some reason the Duke won't let me break off the engagement, the original production is about to begin, and Maria is acting a little strange.

"I will confirm the invitation."

'Count Dicaman.'

'......Yes, I have confirmed it. I will show you to the waiting room."

I ignore events that I don't need to be involved in, but there are many that I just can't ignore.

And there is a high possibility that all events related to the jealous count will be lost, and it is impossible to predict what will happen in the future because of that.

However, with Bosco, whom I trust, at the head, and the servants who believe in me and have been following me, I am sure that I will be able to make the most of my time in the castle,

Even the water tastes good in the Royal Castle, huh?

'Really?"

In order to protect Mina, who is talking a bit like an idiot, I will do my best to protect the Count's family.
