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

The king approached me up to the front, tapping me on the shoulder with a bang and smiling.

'I was surprised when I learned you had executed a church official in your own territory through a letter!

Well, that's a great offense!”

'I was contacted on such short notice at that time ......'

'Never mind, I also had a church official executed for trying to bring illegal drugs into the capital, huh?"

That's not a false accusation, right?

I hope it's not one of those “if you don't have a crime to punish, just make one up” kind of things.

“And while I'm at it, I also put away a nobleman who got in the way as a church collaborator.”

Well, if the king finds him a nuisance, it would be beneficial to the country if he were assassinated or otherwise removed.

"Speaking of which, where is Khalil's sister?"

Oh, .......”

I was so startled by the king's schedule that I usually forgot to bring Maria along with me.

The whole reason I brought her to the royal capital in the first place was to meet the king, so what am I doing ......

'I'm sorry, I forgot to bring her ......'

'Oh well! Then tomorrow then!”

“...... yes, that will be it.”

Sorry Maria, there is a possibility that the pastry making will have to be postponed.

No, I'll get her to agree to somehow accompany me to dinner.

The last time I saw Maria before I left for the royal castle, she was in a slightly distressed state, though not to the point of being ill in bed.

There were many people, and the noises of people talking and moving caused her stress, so she would have to wait for some time to get used to it, just like at the Dickaman mansion.

'All right, then, let's get the troublesome things out of the way first today, hmm?"

"Troublesome things, you say?”

'The Duke of Trash and his trashy children."

I see. It's a confirmation of the punishment that's been decided and the actions that will be taken from now on.

We'll finish this before the meal arrives."

"Yes, indeed..."

Isn't it only a few more minutes before the meal arrives? I wonder if we can talk in such a short time.

'Duke, as soon as Khalil enrolls in the academy, he will be detained for interrogation. The children of the trash, undetermined.

That's all."

Even if such a short summary is given, it's not enough. ......

"Well, I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to continue.'

'I guess so. ......'

As soon as I heard the sound of the footsteps from outside carrying the food, he cut off the conversation.

No, it wasn't a conversation to begin with, but ......

Knock-knock.

"Your meal is ready.'

"Come in, put the food down and wait outside."

"Yes, at your service.”

The food was served by the maid and was arranged in an orderly manner. What was a little surprising was that it was not served as a course, but all at once.

It is quite unusual, perhaps it is the king's preference.

'Please let me know if you need anything else with the doorbell in your hand.'

“Yes, please stand back.”

"Excuse me.”

While the door was open, the sound from outside could be heard, but as soon as it was closed, it became completely silent.

Maybe it's a sound blocking device, or maybe it's a magic tool.

There is plenty of time before Khalil's enrollment. Let's have fun today.

Come on, let's have a round of glasses."

Remembering the toast given to the prime minister, I hold the glass and approach the king's side.

"Cheers."

ーーーーー

My meal with the king went without a hitch, and we continued drinking and talking after the food was finished.

I think the conversation was going well, but perhaps it was because I was basically on the listening end of the conversation, or perhaps it was because there was a lot of dangerous talk that would come out if the other countries found out about it.

"So, you know, the Miguel experiment failed.

The idea of using people as walking sticks was a good one, but the magic in the experiment almost ran out of control and wiped out one of the country's gold mines, so there was a certain amount of damage."

Now I'm in the middle of being told the story behind the Prime Minister's experiment.

A single gold mine is enough to bring about the downfall of a nobleman of the ...... level just by losing a single mine.

'The good times fly by, huh? Before I knew it, this bottle was empty.'

'That's 16 bottles."

"What, wasn't this the third bottle?'

'No, that pile over there is the empty bottle His Majesty drank from, this is the sixteenth bottle."

At first, the empty bottles were nicely arranged on the desk, but at some point, the glasses began to be thrown on the floor, and I had the jellyfish I had summoned clean it up.

The number of bottles is a whopping 15.

The king seems to be so drunk that he thinks it is the third bottle.

I guess he was in the mood to get drunk, but I think he might have lowered his tolerance a little too much.

“Khalil is dead serious.”

'It's impossible for Your Majesty to get sick from drinking, but I don't think you should drink too much.'

"Oh, no, no, no, not that way.'

I thought he didn't like that I was casually trying to get him to quit drinking today, but was I wrong?

'You're not enjoying yourself well because you're too worried about the future, are you? You had a lot on your mind while we were eating, didn't you?”

."..... Yes, I was thinking about it quite a bit.”

To be honest, I can't help but feel nervous about the current situation as the start of the original game is approaching.

All I can think about is how to get around, how to evade the guy.

“Oh my God, thinking even during the meal, isn't that a virtue diligence, it's a mortal sin, so be more lazy.”

It must be uncomfortable to be at a dinner meeting where the other person isn't enjoying themselves when they're supposed to be enjoying themselves, and that's my bad, and I need to remedy that somehow.

How to get rid of the distraction, eh? ......
