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

"'Brother, brother ......'

'Hmm? Maria ......"

After I had succeeded in driving the church officials to the dungeon, I returned to Maria's bedroom where she slept and fell asleep in the chair that had been placed there.

'Oh, good morning.'

"Ah ......."

But she was really tired and was in a deep sleep until I shook her

'Um, your eyes, are you okay ......?'

The view is half blurred, perhaps due to the demerit caused by the magical tool, and from Maria's point of view, there seems to be a clear change in the eye of the person who was wearing the monocle.

"It's all right, it's just the result of a little experiment."

I'm in no hurry, as I know from my evaluation that it won't stay this way for the rest of my life, which is partly why I'm more concerned about Maria's attitude than the change in the eye.

'Ah, oooh ......'

For some reason, she is scared of me and trembling.

No, it is easy to imagine why, but the difference from the usual is too much for me to do anything about it.

"I'm not angry."

I'll tell her my thoughts briefly for now, to take the fright out of it.

It may sound naive, but after hearing what Maria told me during the fire I wasn't going to scold her harshly.

Of course Bosco will scold me.

But I used Maria as bait to bait the Church.

That is a very dangerous thing for Maria, the risk is great if my prediction is wrong and someone quite powerful comes.

Even if she is not aware of it, it is sufficient punishment.

If, well, he had destroyed himself by making a fuss about support and assistance to the very end, I would have cut him down without mercy.

Maria was mixed up in the executions of church officials I am about to carry out, maybe.

'Yeah ...... oooh ......'.

My thoughts were how it could have got worse, but somehow it got worse.

'......'

'Uhhh ......'.

Does this need time?

It's not just for Maria, it's for me too.

Maria's terrified look at me makes me so irritated that I almost yell at her.

Fortunately, I have to start getting ready to execute the sentences of the church officials before the anger of the city's residents explodes.

'If I take my time, the fear will get better, and even if it doesn't, I can avoid spending time with Maria in a state I can't afford to be in.

"I have things to do now, but Maria can go back to the mansion or stay here and rest until I finish my business.

Choose whichever you like."

Considering that giving orders to a scared Maria could make things worse, I gave her a choice.

If she says she will leave, I will ask Noor to take her home. On the other hand, what if she says she will stay, would it be better to leave her alone or ask Noor to spend time with her?

Well, the answer is a definite yes, to go home.

I want to stay with ...... my brother. ......"

A few moments of thinking about this was wasted by Maria's unexpected reply.

I don't mind, but I'm going to be moving around now, is that alright?"

"I'm fine with it. ......"

'All right, as soon as you get sick of it, just tell me.'

I really didn't expect this.

I feel a little uncomfortable with Maria, but I decide to go to the dungeon where the church officials are.

On the way there, people who see Maria and me walking around greet us and give us a quick nod.

Some people directly thank me for handing out the magic potion, while a child is trying to cheerfully talk to Maria behind me,

'......'

'She's feeling a bit under the weather, don't worry, she's not in an bad mood.'

She sticks to my back and does not respond.

The child has called out to her several times, but she silently sticks to me, which continues until the person who spoke to her can't bear the awkwardness and leaves.

"......"

It's somewhat awkward, I can't quite afford to think about Maria right now. ......

But if Maria doesn't leave at this point, there's a possibility that I'll have to delay my plans to carry out the execution when the sun goes down.

Let's ask her first.

Maria."

'Why, shall we ......?'

"I'm going to carry out a public execution in this city at sunset today, and if you don't want to see it, go home."

The method of execution I am going to carry out is different from the usual method of executing criminals using magic.

The assassins will be put to work, not executed, but imprisoned for my use, while the church officials will be squeezed out of the information before it is passed on to the people in the city.

This means that I will have a good reason to kill the church officials who are the cause of the fire.

In other words, what takes place this evening is revenge by the victims against the perpetrators, or, as some see it, the culmination of the ugliness of human nature.

"......"

The tragedies that have occurred as a result of their own actions, the people who have suffered and been driven into a corner because of them, the abhorrence of people.

Can Maria bear to see such acts today?

'Let me tell you, it will definitely be tragic.

As the ruler of this territory, I am obliged to see it through to the end, but Maria Dicaman, a mere young lady with no power, does not have it."

I wait for Maria's downcast reply.

'I will be watching: ......'

'Are you sure?"

'Yes, more than that, I don't want to leave my brother. ......"

It seems there's a reason why she's so adamant about working with me.

I can only think of one thing: She doesn't trust people anymore.

"Are you afraid of people?"

'They'll betray me anyway ......'

In exchange for not having a hypothetical fuzzy mind like the protagonist, she became distrustful of people.

If you ask me if that was a good thing, as the head of the family, I would say yes.

But as a family ......

'That's fine for now, call on me when it gets tough.'

'Thank you, very much. ......'

I would like to do something about it.
