Aside from the Prime Minister, the King should have been in the hall, but the King who was in that hall must have been a fake from the very beginning.
"The right hand, please wait a moment."
But now is not the time to worry about such things.
In order to hide the crest of jealousy, a spell was cast on my right hand.
I see...you are still guilty of a mortal sin, aren't you?
And you have overcome your sin. You've done it, Migeal, you're a new partner".
""I think the power is a little too weak for that, though. ......"
It is accepted more lightly than expected.
Except for Mina, who doesn't understand what is being said and is a little impatient to hear about the deadly sins, everyone here knows and has the deadly sins.
The king is an arrogant man and the prime minister is lazy.
'Well, just the fact that it's a deadly sin makes it a valuable asset, no doubt."
To begin with, there are two types of people with the power of deadly sins: those who have overcome and those who are controlled by the power. These two are the first, and Khalil Dikaman in knowledge is the second, and in terms of ability, the one who has overcome is more powerful.
It was not explicitly specified in the knowledge that Khalil Dikaman was in close relationship with the two, and I expected that the reason for this was that he had not overcome it.
In other words, as I did not remember overcoming, I did not expect to be contacted by the two, and I thought I would manage to create a relationship with them by creating and offering a special magic potion.
Looking at the two of them, it seems that my expectations were wrong in the right direction and that a fairly good relationship could be established.
"'Mina , right?
I'll have the food prepared now, so please step away for a moment, we have something to discuss with your master, Count Dicaman."
"Ah, yes!"
The food was immediately prepared and Mina, who should have been tense and stiff just a moment ago, began to eat at a distance, her eyes shining.
The happy aura is streaming down to me.
Now the conversation that will decide my fate, which has nothing but deadly sins, will begin.
"...... You're like an extinct species, aren't you?"
Yes, a rare and natural existence nowadays."
I was prepared for the thought that I might possibly be executed,
'Well, Count Dicaman will be the second of my companions to stand next to me.
I hope that we will be true companions, without hierarchy, beyond the relationship between kings and nobles."
'Of course I agree with you.'
He further came over the imagination.
I had expected to be questioned about something, but I had no idea that it would be effective, and that I would be welcomed as someone who would stand alongside him, not as a subordinate.
"How do you feel?"
'I should say I don't really feel it, to be honest. ......
I am honored, but as an aristocrat, I don't know how to act."
Think about it.
The king, who is the absolute authority of the country to which I belong, should stand beside me from now on, and I would be in trouble if he suddenly said so.
"Hmm, I see that point too.
I am too far away from Count Dicaman, not to mention Miguel and I. It's a pity, but I guess it can't be helped."
[......]
A little different, but, well, generally correct.
"So, since we'll be companions later, shall we eliminate the Dukes of Ewell, who will be the king's closest confidants and might be in trouble with Count Dicaman?"
Yes, let's do that.
"?!"
With a single word from Miguel, it was decided that the Dukes of Ewell, the cause of my troubles, would be eliminated.
"What are you surprised about, Khalil? It's only natural to give preference to those who have overcome the deadly sins rather than to a house whose successor is likely to be that one."
'With the Duke of Ewell's family's demolition confirmed, do you want to execute the duke and that girl to ease Khalil's stress?'
Suddenly, he changed to calling them by their names and even mentioned execution of the duke in a light-hearted manner.
"'I'm sure I'll eliminate him, but there's a lot of anxiety about it, oh, and I'll explain one of my abilities to Khalil as well."
It was a great sin, but I thought it might be an inside draw, but then I remembered that the king was such a character even in the knowledge, and decided not to think about it too much.
"Simply put, I can keep track of everything that belongs to me."
Knowing information about possessions?
With my knowledge, the king wears magic armor and his fighting style is to attack physically without hands.
I thought that that physical ability, which is extraordinary for his age, was his arrogance ability, but it seems that he had other abilities too, just that they did not appear.
"There are some disadvantages, of course.
That the information on those who exist, belong and live in my country stops being updated once they leave the country, and the information on those with special powers like the deadly sins and their surroundings also does not get updated."
I see, so that means that when I obtain the deadly sins, the information stops updating and ......
Wait, so if the information is about me having gained knowledge of this world, does that mean the king is getting the same perspective as I am?
'With that in mind, let me give you an element of uncertainty.
There are three noble houses in this kingdom that I do not know: my friend the Dukes of Vallesen, my new comrade the Counts of Diekaman, and the unsettling element, the Dukes of Ewell.
And the Dukes of Ewell, the element of anxiety."
"I see. ......"
Certainly the lack of any information is the biggest source of anxiety.
And as far as I know, there is only one person in the Dukes of Ewell with special powers to rival the deadly sins, the protagonist of this world.
The king and I have investigated the dukedom several times, but there was no sign of the deadly sin, which we finally discovered at today's party."
"Is that Nora Ewell's partner?"
"'That's right, Khalil, a man worthy to stand with us".
I felt as if I had cheated in my praise, for I had known the protagonist beforehand through knowledge.
'I don't know what effect power my arrogance prevents, but with three deadly sins, it doesn't matter.
The question is what to do with that vast, useless ducal territory."
The dukedom is a large piece of land where productivity has dropped significantly due to the red stone disease, and even if the red stone disease is removed, the dukedom will not be restored immediately.
The territory of a noble family that has been taken away from them is basically split up among the surrounding nobles or becomes the direct domain of the royal family.
...... "Khalil, do you want that land?"
"I don't need it."
Of course you don't."
