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 then told Kurt, who sneered that I was more important than him, that he should just listen to me and I would tell him what I was thinking.

Considering that the Karti family became nobility for finding a way to cultivate crops, I would ask Kurt to research an effective way to cultivate the ingredients for my magic potion, and pay him money in exchange.

Although the Dickaman family currently grows materials, it is not able to supply all of the magic potions it wholesales to the country.

Besides, cultivation costs a lot of money.

The Dikaman family has been considering cultivation for some time, not only by relying on merchants, but also by having a certain amount cultivated in its own territory or in the territory of a nobleman with whom it has a good relationship.

It was by chance that I approached Kurt, but in terms of requirements, the Karti family is quite suitable for this plan.

'Could such a thing be done by such a guy like me ......?"

"I don't know. But if you cannot, you will fall."

"......!"

The time for one-sided conversation is over, I don't know what Kurt will decide, but there's nothing I can do about it now.

'I'll send you a letter at a later date, I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to take my hand.'

'...... yes.'

With those final words, I leave Kurt.

'Well, there's no one here. ......"

I look around the hall to see if there are any nobles who fit the requirements, but no one fits 100% like Kurt does.

There are two more who are even more worthy of a lighter requirement: ......

Change of plans.

'I'm sorry to interrupt, but do you have a moment now?'

"Hm? Are you Count Diekermann?"

"Yes, my name is Khalil Dickerman, head of the Dickerman family."

"As you may know, I am Gareth Mapia, frontier count, and your magic potions have helped me a lot."

I was approached by a strong man in formal military-like uniform, a nobleman who controlled the border with the Empire, which was under tension, the Frontier Count Gareth Mapia.

30% of the magic potion that the Dicaman family delivers to the country goes to the frontier count, and there is a bit of a connection between the families.

"No, it is the obligation of our Dicaman family, but at the same time we do it so that we can get used to the power of the Frontier Count Mapia, who is protecting our country."

"Even so. There are people and organisations in other countries, such as the Empire, that can make magic potions, but they are far behind the Counts Dicaman family.

Many soldiers have been saved thanks to your magic potions, and the war has been changed many times."

Not particularly far away, but not close either, I would like to strengthen this little connection.

We're not even in the same faction, but I want to be friendly to the point where I can lightly check on any hostile presence.

"Hm?"

"What happened...?"

The conversation was going to continue, but the frontier count, who suddenly looked behind me and questioned me, pulled me to look behind me too.

The damn fiancée and the protagonist were chatting away, without a care in the world.

'It's a damn disaster for you to be engaged to someone like that.'

'...... yes, I just want her to mature quickly.'

'That will be impossible.'

The frontier count is right, that is absolutely impossible.

In such a public location, it's not unusual for engaged couples to chat with partners who are not of noble birth.

Normally, if for some reason a partner who is not a noble is brought along, they are not introduced to other nobles and, like Mina now, basically stay with their partner without participating in the conversation.

"I don't think it's ladylike."

That way of proceeding at the party hall, which is of great importance, is not considered to be noble in the first place.

The frontier count, his face contorted with displeasure at what he had seen, drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

'Count Dicaman, if you break off your engagement with that one, will you marry my daughter?

'!"

'It's a bit of a gap, but it won't be a problem.'

A little, I think the children of the frontier count who don't have a fiancée have a seven year age difference from me. ......

To be honest, I'm quite grateful for my connection with the frontier count.

Although we are connected by magic potions, the benefits to our respective houses would be immeasurable if we became engaged and gained an even stronger connection.

However, considering the king, I can't give an answer right now.

'If possible, I would like to take a little time, even though she was my fiancée, I would like to keep some distance.'

'...... how?"

No, I'm sorry, I think I've had a little too much to drink, just forget it."

The factional members of the frontier counts who were in the vicinity, although distanced, were in case of emergency and sublimated into a joke at the starting point of the frontier counts so that they would not be considered too closely related to each other at present.

'...... Count Dicaman.'

Our conversation, which seemed to continue in a friendly atmosphere, ended with the frontier count suddenly overflowing with a swarthy air.

'Take your partner and go to the edge, your downfall is the kingdom's gain.

'Yes, sure, .'

Looking around, several people other than the frontier count were showing signs of being alarmed by something.

Most of them were nobles who had been made nobles by virtue of their military achievements.

"Ha..."

"You're awake."

'Huh? Ah, I'm sorry for being in a daze. ......'

Mina woke up at a very awkward moment, but it was probably a good thing that she was able to move quickly.

"Please make sure you can move right away."

Even the peaceful aristocrats notice the situation in the hall and look around.

Clatter!

It has begun.

The sound that echoed through this hall was the sound of the protagonist, who was chatting with Nora Ewell, being knocked to the floor; the protagonist was being restrained by two people.

'What have you suddenly done to my partner?"

'This man has been charged with a certain crime and will be restrained, and if you interfere, you will be restrained too, even if you are a duchess.'

"What?!"

I don't know what he did.
