NOVEL SIMPLE c55
I'm going to blow Master Khalil away in such a transparent dress. ......?
Ah,
'I can't do that!"
"It's all right, it's all right."
Besides, Khalil-sama prefers beautiful girls to me .......
"Oh, well, that's all right."
"How was the party?"
My friend said this and lay down on the bed with my clothes still in the process of being changed.
The reason was simple: the date had changed.
That's why the inn in the capital has some pricey, dateable magical items in all the rooms.
"To be honest, I was so nervous that I hardly remember anything..."
'No, I'm not! I'm talking about how it was with Master Khalil!"
'Nothing at all!"
I don't quite understand what she's trying to say, there's no way me and Khalil-sama can be like that.
I am a commoner and he is a nobleman, you know?
'Moo, Mina should think about going on the offensive a bit."
It's so boring, I'm going to bed! Good night!"
'Yeah, ...... good night.'
As I covered myself with the duvet and the conversation died down, I heard her breathing in her sleep as I changed from see-through to normal clothes.
I ...... really was asleep.
'Huh. ......
Master Khalil, it was cool."
It's true that I was so nervous that I hardly remember, but what I don't remember is the taste of the food and what I was doing, I usually remember.
Master Khalil talking to the king and his men in an imposing and cool way, or a slightly broken tone of voice talking to a great big man. ......
First of all, he had to be liked by the kings to be able to do that.
It's a bit hard to remember when the king was there because it's like a cloud over my head, but the king and Master Khalil were laughing, so they must be on good terms with each other. ......
As far as I know, Master Khalil and the king must have had almost no contact with each other, but they're laughing in a short time, with the king of the country, you know? That's bad, isn't it?
'Yes! It's not looking good!'
I meant it as a praise, of course!
'The guy who is Master Khalil's fiancee has totally screwed up, and I'm sure the engagement will be broken off.
Next time, I'm sure that someone nice who will look after and support Master Khalil will be his fiancée."
...... Huh.
'Is it morning already ......'
After returning to the inn, I spent some time sitting on the sofa, thinking back to the events at the party hall.
When the morning sun rises and I look at the room brightened by natural light, I think that yesterday's events must have been a dream.
Who could have imagined that in one night I would go so far as to be called a friend by two of the country's top figures, the king and the prime minister?
Sure, there is a common ground with the deadly sin, but there is no description of a close relationship between Khalil Dikaman and the two of them in my knowledge, and I thought I would be enemies with those two in the worst case scenario.
That's why I was thinking of a number of schemes to make magic potions and do my best to get them to take me under their protection. ......
'No, I can't just think about what's been done.
I have to think about the future."
I have three main issues at the moment,
My engagement to Nora Ewell, Maria, who was acting strange just before I came to the capital, and the original story.
One of them, the engagement with Nora Ewell, will be resolved as soon as the original story starts, so I'll leave it alone for now.
What needs to be resolved is the original story, which starts in less than a year and Maria.
Maria enters the academy after one year in the original story, when the main characters are in their second year, in the capacity of a certain noblewoman's maid.
According to my knowledge Maria was working to eliminate the poverty gap in Count Dijkaman's territory, providing food, clothing and other support to the jobless, particularly in the orphanage.
The Dickaman family provided as much money as Maria could mobilise under her own direction.
However, Maria, who is not the head of the family, can only mobilise a small amount, no matter how much of the Dickaman blood flows through her veins.
The exact timing of his running away from home is not known, but we expect it to be before the start of the original story.
'But that's a bit odd.'
The occasion of the kicker may have been this party, but the timing when Khalil Dikaman is clearly known to be a jealous count in the first place is after he has moved up to the second year.
Until then, there had been no small amount of harassments from Khalil Dikaman towards the protagonist, but it was not until the second year that the harassments turned into harassment that clearly used his jealousy ability.
In other words,
'Would Khalil Dikaman, who is not yet a jealous count, go out of his way to hire and overrun mercenaries for the paltry sum that Maria can move?"
No, it is not possible.
If I wanted to quit supporting her, I could have taken away Maria's authority, and Khalil Dikaman, who had become a jealous count, would not have hired mercenaries who would demand a not-so-cheap price.
Then what was the reason for going to the trouble of hiring mercenaries?
"We'll have to find out when I get back."
If I had to guess, I would say that it was the work of other noble families who want to bring down the Countess Dickaman, who is ostensibly engaged to the duke and is promised prosperity.
I believe this is the most likely possibility.
Knock-knock.
"What is it?"
"Good morning, Count Dickaman.
I have come to inform you that breakfast is ready."
It's time to go, we have a long journey ahead and I'll be back at the Count's mansion as soon as I can after breakfast.
Please show me the way..."
I was about to call out to the innkeeper who knocked on the door to go and have breakfast, when I saw someone standing there and stopped talking.
'Hello Khalil, a letter from His Majesty.'
It was the Prime Minister, standing in a stance to present the letter.
