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 had some idea of Maria's situation, so I came to the guard station, concerned about her following me from behind.

"Take me to the prison where the officers are."

"Yes, please, this way."

A heavy iron door opened.

The guardhouse is not only physically resistant but also magically resistant and cannot be easily destroyed.

This is to prevent the captured criminals from being taken back by their comrades.

The young lady in the back is going to wait in the other room?"

As I was about to go down the stairs, I was approached by a guard who was different from the one who guided me.

"I'll go with my brother. ......"

We looked at each other, and although the words spoken were as I had expected, I had to think a little about how to interrogate her.

"Maria will be given the bare minimum of knowledge as an aristocrat. I know it's a little early, but we'll let her observe this time."

"Yes, of course."

"We go down the dimly lit staircase.

The prison is located at the end of this hall, and only church officials are currently allowed in this dungeon.

He unlocks the door as he explains this, and I ask the guards to wait here.

What goes on inside cannot be leaked to the outside world. The power of the church is so great that there is no telling where the information will leak out.

The information extracted from the assassins will only be shared with the King and the Prime Minister.

"You stay here and I will be right back."

"Please be careful about your safety, though. ......"

"No problem, if I get hurt, we have the magic potion."

With Maria in tow, I headed for the door.

At the end of the door was a straight corridor with several iron barred rooms on either side, a spacious dungeon with about 10 rooms on each side.

Those in the prison near the entrance are the lower echelons of the church, and those toward the back are closer to the executives.

"My Lord, ......"

"......"

I turn my gaze as I am called to cling to those who have seen me.

'You are yet to be punished, you don't know anything about it, do you?

"Hah, hey ......."

The other party also affirmed in response to the voice that clutched at him in a somewhat mood.

clank!

"......."

But suddenly Maria, who was behind me, kicked the bars as if to stamp on them with the bottom of her foot.

'Brother, this guy is a liar.

Lying, absolutely lying, he knows something, no doubt about it, people are liars, don't tell the truth, there's something there."

"Calm down."

What's wrong all of a sudden?

Effects of distrust of people...... No, then there is too much difference between the way things are handled now and the way things are handled with those who are spoken to on the road.

"Tell us what you know.

Don't waste my brother's time."

I don't know anything ......

"I hate it, I hate it, it's a fucking lie, I swear. ......

[Fireball.]"

The magic that Maria used was powerful enough to kill a person, but the iron grating that was given magic resistance was heated to the point of turning red, so it didn't hit the sisters inside.

But it's not good!

"Maria, take a deep breath."

With one hand behind her back, she closed her eyes and held her with the other.

"He's lying, you know?"

"......"

"I know, I can faintly hear his heart, it's like he knows what's going on because his folks are at the top of the list. ......

I want you to believe me. ......"

Can she hear heart?

When I covered my eyes to calm myself down, the anger I was feeling earlier changed and I began to tremble with fear.

This change ...... is still the eyes.

Somehow I think I'm getting closer to the true nature of the discomfort I've been feeling towards Maria.

It was not that she was scared to put her forehead on my back when she spoke to me, but that she was trying not to look at people.

The irritability when she woke up was also when her eyes met mine.

["Isarento"].

I'm going to make sure that Maria and I are not heard outside, even if it's only briefly.

Have you been merciful?

'!?!?"

I had an idea about the eye from my knowledge, the virtues that are opposite to the deadly sins in this world, one of which is mercy.

Unlike deadly sins, virtues give a good impression of people, but it is not true. In fact, it is said that virtue is worse than deadly sin because of its nature.

Virtue, unlike deadly sins, which can be obtained by one's own emotions, is basically something that is given to a person by a higher authority's will.

Yes, it is given.

In other words, the power is granted forcibly, regardless of the will of the person to whom it is given.

And in many cases, the power given is a bit off, such as power given to a higher being who does not understand the feelings of the lower being, and is therefore harmful to the person to whom the power is given.

Among the most vicious is the being who grants mercy.

The being believes that humanity is a lower being, and the higher being, the being that gives power to humanity, believes itself to be benevolent.

"What was said?"

The one who acquires the power of virtue has a conversation with the being who has given it to him in a dream while he is asleep. The conversation is one-sided; they are told the details of their abilities and told to be thankful for them.

"I know what the person I'm looking at is thinking, but I don't know who I'm trusting. ......"

"......."

It is still a misalignment.

It's an ability that certainly reflects Maria's desire not to be fooled, but now she can't trust people and will continue to listen to other people's minds.

There may be some extraordinary people who believe themselves to be perfectly good and innocent, but there is no such thing as an innocent person in this world.

And it is not uncommon for aristocrats, with whom Maria's age is likely to interact with more or less often, to wear masks, to be friendly on the outside but thinking about how to kick them down behind their backs.

"......"

Maria's ability to be given to mercy in the future of her life has become a curse for her.

'But I can't hear my brother's voice unless I completely focus my eyes on you. ......

I don't know how my brother feels about it, but I know I can trust you."

I guess hse can't hear my voice because of jealousy, and I feel guilty about that secret.

'We can talk about the eye another time, right now I have to finish up with the church.'

Yeah ...... um, I can help you with that, okay?"

The eye was covered for a long time, and she was back to her normal, albeit weak, self.

"No, this time it will be just me.

Maria, look at me and don't look at the others."

"......Yes!"
