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

c49



My beloved daughter was screwed.

The letter she left said she was coming, but in addition to not knowing how she would come to the party, in the end I could not find her before the party was held and had to give up the search.

("I can still manage.")

I had been thinking that way, but after my daughter's name was mentioned at the entrance, I gave up that idea.

I didn't have time to think about how I got to the party, and my head hurt when I saw the being my daughter had brought as her partner.

I can tell you that the situation is the worst.

The only saving grace was that Count Dicaman did not try to absolve me in the hall, and the duke's reputation, his daughter's ugliness, and the king found out about the hero's progeny.

Flaming red hair is a trait of the nearly forgot hero, and some of the higher nobility may have known him.

The nobles of the faction who felt uneasy about the king's response are trying to distance themselves from him, and they are working to hold him in place.

However, most of the nobles seemed to want to wait and see, and the conversation did not last long.

"Good evening, Duke Ewell.

"......, yes, good evening, Treasurer Rohloff."

Then a woman approached me.

She is the only female chief in the kingdom, a position specially granted to her by the king. Her title is marquis, but in terms of power, she is one of the most powerful except for the king and the prime minister.

"I don't like to talk about business here, but I think the situation will keep the Duke Ewell busy."

It seems like this is our only chance, so shall we talk?"

"I understand."

I went out onto the balcony with the Marquis Rohloff.

The baron, who had arrived behind me, tried to talk to the Marquis of Rohloff and was hit with a fan.

''Well, I was wondering about the support money for the red stone disease that was provided by the kingdom."

I knew it was that topic.

With the help of Count Dickerman, the cause of the disease was discovered, and the dungeon was searched for, but no one could find it.

'Now that the cause has been found thanks to Count Dicaman, we will cut off our support completely."

The support from Count Dicaman's family has been cut off due to my misjudgment, and on top of that, if the support from the kingdom is also cut off, the dukes' family will be greatly weakened.

"No, I want you to wait a bit longer.

If we are in financial trouble, we will not be able to gather the necessary strength for the dungeon expedition.

Could you at least continue to support us until we conquer the dungeon?"

At this point, I had lost track of whom my daughter had brought to the party.

"Oh? Your daughter's partner is a descendant of a hero, isn't that so? Isn't he strong enough?"

"......!"

"'You are more indebted to me than to Count Dicaman, who has supported you by helping you to find the cause of your death and by supporting you in your own house through sobriety, right?"

The words were filled with anger.

The Marquis of Rohloff, perhaps because of the influence of managing financial relations, has a strong debt of gratitude for anything involving money and will not tolerate treachery against Count Dickaman.

In other words, it has been confirmed that support for us, the dukes, will stop.

"That's all I have to say."

I could not say anything, but she came closer to me.

"You must think about your future."

My generation has done its best to leave as little debt as possible to its successors.

I have to be very careful not to offend the king and his family, and I have to discuss this with my daughter now more than ever.

"Your Excellency the Duke of Ewell, is it?"

"...... you must be the girl who was showing Count Dickaman around."

I thought I would rest for a while on the terrace where I was alone, but it seems that's not going to happen.

His Majesty the King has asked for His Excellency the Duke of Ewell.

"May I follow you?"

"Yes, I will escort you."

The maid intervened and stopped me from speaking to Count Dickaman to make his feelings a little better by apologizing to him in public.

Of course, I intended to make a sincere apology, but now that this has happened, it is impossible to improve relations with Count Dickerman.

The engagement would have to be broken off.

I opened the same door that Count Dickerman was taken to and proceeded.

"I am not authorised to open the door, so please proceed on your own."

"Thank you for your guidance."

The king, the prime minister, and Count Dickerman are probably waiting for me at the end of the hall.

I don't know what they will say, all I know is that I don't have a right of refusal, and depending on the situation, I may be allowed at least to make excuses, but that's too wishful thinking.

"It's the Duke Ewell, may I enter?"

"Come in."

"Pardon me, Your Majesty.

Inside, as expected, people were waiting for me.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice."

No, Your Majesty would have called me at once...

'I have no need for such words here, for I have someone I would like to introduce to you."

"Who do you want to introduce?

The only person here whom I do not recognize is Count Dicaman's partner, who is standing at the end of the room in a daze.

"Let me introduce you."

At the king's signal, Count Dickaman stepped forward.

"Marquis Dicaman, special magical apothecary of the court, and our comrade."

What will happen to me? ......
