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 was told to do something rather interesting, to fit in a conversation, and the Duke of Ewell called me into his room, although I was not given any details.

I was also told to leave everything to him and that I should just stand there with my head held high.

"The Marquis Dicaman, the Court's Special Enchantress of Potions, and our comrade."

But if I was to be promoted to the rank of Marquis, I should have been told first, and with a title like "Special Potions Master of the Court.

I haven't presented the magic potion to him yet. ......

"Well, that's..."

"The Marquis Khalil Diqaman has become a national treasure.

That means that as king, I must punish you for your disgrace."

The duke was dismayed by the situation.

But remember that the Marquis Dicaman will decide the amount, and that we will not interfere, but already he is not of a lower rank."

He looks at me as if he expects my assistance, but I don't do anything in particular, I ask him to pay the fine meekly.

But at the last minute he throws me a look. ...... No, it is certainly up to me to decide if I want to punish him for his behavior this time.

Then from the time I take the position of head of the House of Dickaman, you will pay me the amount of the support I have given to the Dukes up to now."

"!"

It is an amount of money that I honestly don't want to think about.

Of course, it is not an amount that can be paid in one go, so after a certain amount is paid in one lump sum, it should be paid back every month, and it would be better if half of the amount could be recovered before the dukes are destroyed.

"If it is a punishment for infidelity, it would be appropriate, but that would be just repayment, so it would be better to double the amount.

You have no objection? Duke Ewell."

"Yes, of course."

Such an easy and terrible amount of compensation was decided upon.

Now let us move on to the engagement of the Marquess Dicaman.

'!"

The Prime Minister began to press the duke, who had lost his usual high spirits and was sagging, even harder.

"The punishment is in the form of reparations, so the relationship is still the same."

"Why is that, ......?"

The duke and duchess are not the only ones who have been punished in this way,"

Everything that the Prime Minister is saying is just a front, the dukes are set to be demolished as that fiancée has surrounded herself with the hero's descendants in order to change attitude.

In other words, the end of the relationship is obvious.

Marquis Dicaman doesn't want to keep the engagement, but as an aristocrat, he won't give it a blank check."

"......!"

"But after being humiliated so much, he wants to set a deadline. The duke, who is unaware of this backstory, said that he would not be able to make a decision on the matter."

However, the duke, unaware of such a backstory, jumped on the string of hope that had been thrown out to him.

If the engagement relationship were to succeed, the duke would not only be able to pass the dukedom on to the next generation, but he would also be able to show that he was in good standing with his new comrade in arms, the Marquis Dicaman, the court's special potions master.

It would be possible to overcome the dukes' bad reputation and the current situation of being shunned by the nobility.

"Thank you so much for giving the dukes a chance after I have continued to ingratiate myself with him."

I looked at the duke with cold eyes as he bowed his head and expressed his gratitude after seeing my face.

'Well, I think we're done here, right? Then we must now speak with the Marquis Dicaman."

'Excuse me."

I felt that the negative aura from the duke had lessened somewhat.

The door closed and the conversation began again, this time with only the deadly sins.

Did you see the look on his face when he said he had found hope?!"

"Yes, he looked like an idiot."

The three of us are exchanging a few vulgarities unbecoming of the head of a country, but honestly I find it quite refreshing.

I think the reason they went out of their way to give him hope was probably out of concern for my wellbeing and to provide a mild distraction.

Well, the fact that I was promoted and the position I had been given before I knew it was important is more important than that.

"Your Majesty."

"Yes? What is it, Khalil?"

"I offer you this elixir."

In front of the king and the prime minister, I took out a magic potion from the item box.

"The effect is to completely neutralize any poison.

I would have given it to you earlier, but the timing was bad, and I apologize for the delay."

Don't worry, Khalil, you can make very powerful magic potions, and you even have an item box.

It is reassuring to have such a wonderful person in our country, both as a king and as a comrade."

Being recognized was so much more comfortable.

After talking to both the king and the prime minister I felt much better about everything, a reassuring ally, a solution to a problem that was making my head hurt, and everything had changed for the better.

'Now, shall we make the announcement of Khalil's promotion during this party?"

If they announce it during the party, I am sure many nobles will come to my door.

But,

"No, that will have to wait."

"Hmm? Why?"

"Because I don't want to be stuck with some nobody."

I don't want to waste my time talking to a bunch of nobles, especially one with close ties to the Duke Ewell.

"I understand.

I would have liked to talk more among the three of us, but I think Khalil should make a connection with the nobility, so let's disband this time."

Yes, we will have another chance to talk anyway. I'm a little disappointed, but I had a good time today."

I can feel that he really regrets it.

"I was glad to have someone on my side to reassure me."

I shook hands with the two of them at the end.

"Hmm?"

When I shook hands with the Prime Minister, I felt something hard hit my palm.

'It was a gift. Please take good care of it.'

'Thank you."

What was given to me as a gift was translucent light blue crystal, these are called pure water crystals, the highest quality ores that possess the water attribute.

If a sword is polished with this ore, it will have the power of water, and if it is used as a catalyst for magic, water-related magic will be greatly strengthened.

It is also a material that strengthens certain equipment.

"Sorry for the wait, let's go back."

'......"

"Mina?"

For some reason, Mina did not move.

I waved my hand in front of her face, but she didn't respond, and that's when I realized how long she had been in a daze.

Hey, Migeal, unlock it.

"Oh, ......'

...... It was you guys, right?
