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

"Well, just sit there anyway.

You probably came pretty early to get ready, but we're all ready to go.

So let's have a cup of tea together for a little while before we start.”

There was a large table and three chairs in the place where the king and others were, and on the table there were dishes that looked like evening dishes, and they were drinking wine.

Tea and snacks were placed in front of the empty seats, and I couldn't help but make a straight face at the preparation, which I could only assume they were aiming for, even though I had voluntarily arrived early.

"What's wrong?”

'No, not particularly, I'd like to ...... sit down.'

When I took my seat, the king and the prime minister brought their glasses to me. I was the only one with a tea cup and the other two with wine glasses, which made for a very strange toast.

After that, there was nothing important to talk about.

Magic research was at a standstill, the nobles had been purged, they wanted to declare war on another country, and so on.

I, participating in such small talk, offered several topics, the development of new magic potions, and letters from noble families introducing their unstoppable daughters.

The two of them listened with a laugh, and if it was too much, would they purge? and the like.

The small talk was very enjoyable and before I knew it, there were only a few minutes left until the party was to begin.

“The good times go by so fast, eh?”

"Yes, I can feel the servants outside getting nervous that we haven't come out yet."

"And while we're at it, is there any sign of Susan?

It's too funny to see that black woman who does everything for the coffers in such an imposing manner in such a hurry."

I don't know what's so funny about the two of them.

It's hard to laugh when you know you're obviously going to get pissed off.

'Even if it's just the Marquis d'Ekaman, he's upset because he's saying ....... He's pretty angry, judging by his expression.

Shall I make him wait a little longer because it's funny?”

"I'm leaving now!"

It is amazing that you, the Prime Minister, can tell what he is talking about not only by his presence but also by his facial expression.

Please tell me more quickly.

"I'll catch up with His Majesty later."

"Good luck~.”

It was my fault for having lost track of time because I was having so much fun, but I was somehow unconvinced.

In such a feeling, I bowed lightly to the two waving hands and left the room.

““......!””

"Haha .......”

The moment I left the room, the sharp stares of the people in the distance pierced me, and I burst into dry laughter at the sheer power of it all.

One of those gazes was one man who seemed to be smiling, although I couldn't tell exactly because she was covering her mouth with a fan.

It was the opposite of the angry expression that the Prime Minister had mentioned earlier, but only her eyes were glazed over, indicating that she was not smiling.

"I haven't seen you since the party a while ago, Marquis Dicaman.

I'm the one in charge of today's party, I'll be looking forward to working with you, yes?”

"Yes, my apologies for keeping you waiting.”

“I am ......, thank you very much.”

"Please give my best regards .......”

I'm scared.

I have met the head of the Rohloff family in front of me several times and had light conversations with him, so I know a little bit about his personality.

Because of  his position, he is sensitive to the movement of funds and will not tolerate failure, and once a foolish noble or merchant causes damage to the Rohloffs and the kingdom, she will turn the marrow into gold to make up for the loss.

In one case that I know of, the son of an idiot merchant, who had his parents and all his relatives enslaved, bought a patent he owned for free, though he did not give the contents of the patent.

Sanctions without a shred of hope.

In a sense, it is a more severe sanction than that of the king, who gives hope in a farce and then executes the victim.

"You know what, by the way?"

"What is it?"

"Young children of any gender are in demand, and slaves are in reasonable demand by rich people."

"I see. ......"

Does that imply that I'm going to take a slave?

"You are the genius who has raised the status of the Dicaman family by leaps and bounds, and if you are ever in need of funds, I will personally show you the new business.”

"Thank you. ......"

I had heard that the king and the prime minister had said that I was a man who could be easily misunderstood, but so far I have the impression that I am a bad person at the level that I deserve to be chosen by that king.

While he welcomed me, I don't know what he's thinking behind the scenes.

In terms of military power, I am probably better than he is in terms of knowledge, but I can see a future where I would be crushed if I actually antagonized him.

I can hire a lot of mercenaries with money and let them charge into the city without any time for me to rest, and if they can finish them off, good.

The conclusion was that I should never anger him.

"Now, first of all, I and the Marquis Dicaman will deal with the greetings of the nobles. The main one is not me, but honestly it's a hassle, well, let's do our best."

"Yes, I see.”

After lightly dressing himself, she headed to the venue.

"The first greeting will come from the other side.

After the participants have finished their greetings, His Majesty and the Prime Minister will arrive, so just smile and act appropriately until then."

"Yes, thank you."

“Very well, then, open the door.”

With these words, the servant waiting at the front of the hall had the door opened.

“ Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Sorry for the long wait."

His Majesty the King has honored the Marquis Dicaman, who has brought great benefits to the Kingdom.

The Marquis Khalil Dikaman, the Special Potions Master , has arrived!"

With the words of the host, who had probably somehow managed to hold the place together, many gazes were directed toward me.

As I stand in the position I was led to, Rohloff, who was standing beside me, speaks up.

"I was going to have a few words with His Majesty, but I am going to change the plan a little bit.

Before His Majesty and the Marquis Dicaman speak, I will have time to address the Marquis of Dicaman, the future of the Kingdom.”

What a change of plan ......

I thought it was fine since the king and the prime minister were having a normal day, but it seems that the time was pushed pretty tight.
