"Let's get all that stilted acting out of the way, shall we?”
'What?”
As I was wondering where to begin, the Prime Minister squared his shoulders at me.
“Your Excellency, the Prime Minister!"
I am already friends with Khalil, and of course, His Majesty is also a friend, and we will continue to support each other and serve our country in the future as well.”
No, no, no, that's too much of an explanation.
That's the final point of what I wanted to tell him, but he blew off my thoughts about how it came to be and how to explain it while hiding the power of the deadly sin, and just told me the conclusion.
'Master Khalil and the Prime Minister, friend .......'
The potion that Khalil provided for the country is very good.
Of course, our relationship as friends cannot be described by such a lowly connection that can only be thought of in terms of profit and loss.”
No doubt the Prime Minister is enjoying this situation.
I don't know if it is because of exhaustion or because it was too big a piece of information, but unusually Bosco is also frozen with a surprised look on his face.
Is this true, Khalil-sama?
Oh, it's not that the Prime Minister can't believe it, it's just that it's too nice to be real .......”
“Kukuk, I bet.”
Normally I would not have laughed the way I did, I really would like to ask him to quit because it makes me feel like he is stinking up the place.
“Ah, well, to put it succinctly, it's just as the Prime Minister said.”
“Please quit calling me ‘Prime Minister’ so stiffly, feel free to call me Migeal.”
The sense of distance is strange. ......
I'm not the only one who felt that way, Bosco also had an air of rapture, but now it has changed to a slightly dubious atmosphere.
Or rather, he's physically distancing himself a bit.
"Is it okay if I ask him about the details of the situation?”
There would be no problem to tell Bosco, who is a hard-spoken man, everything, including his ability to commit deadly sins.
However, the strength of the king, the prime minister, and I in battle depends on the ability of deadly sins, and deadly sins and virtues are similar in direction of ability, and the possibility that the information of the past ability person remains ability in literature, etc. cannot be dismissed.
Then what should I do? If I think about it calmly, I realized that the way the Prime Minister did it was the easiest and simplest while it was difficult to explain.
Well, the easiest thing to do is to maintain the status quo.
I can't tell you the details, but I can tell you about the relationship I had with His Majesty and the Prime Minister's cabinet “Miguel” ...... Miguel and I were invited to a party hosted by His Majesty.
At first I was only asked about my relationship with my fiancée, but as we continued our conversation, the two of them took a liking to me.”
A spur-of-the-moment explanation mixed with a few lies, mostly correct, and the fiancée thing is an easy reason for Bosco to be convinced.
The way it went down, I offered the magic potion I'd developed and was given the position of special magic potion master at court and a promotion to the rank of knight.
This time, too, Prime ...... Miguel came to my home to announce his promotion.”
"I didn't realize that."
Along the way, there were a few happenings, such as the sharp look from the Prime Minister, but there were no inconsistencies and I was able to convince the boss child to conceal his abilities.
“Khalil-sama is really a wonderful person. ......"
"?”
Bosco's expression was refreshing, as if a possession had been removed from him.
'Your Excellency Prime Minister, please continue to take good care of Master Khalil.
I know it is very foolish for me, as a mere butler, to give my opinion to the Prime Minister, but I wanted to tell you this."
'Of course.
And I don't think it's foolish, you will continue to support Khalil in the future."
It's kind of like a farewell speech, but he's not going to say he's going into hiding, is he?
It's all right, huh?!
“Well, I've told Khalil's butler what happened, so let's get on with ......
Shall we have breakfast?”
...... I'm not going to tell you until I've amassed enough.
"...... Bosco, get ready."
"Yes, of course.”
The Prime Minister, who is not like an aristocrat to the extent that I thought he might be drunk from a while ago, and Bosco are there, but seeing him so imposing, I think I'm wrong.
"Just because you are an aristocrat doesn't mean you have to be dignified all the time.”
The Prime Minister said to me who was troubled after Bosco left the room.
'But you need to live up to the expectations of your subjects, ......"
If there is someone who would look at the undignified and plain Kalil and sneer at him, he is not a vassal.
It is a parasite who excels at acting the part of a vassal.”
He may not ridicule them on the surface, but it shows in his slightest demeanor. I guess I can tell because many of them are very sensitive to ill will toward me.
It's quite instructive, whether or not it's actually useful.
But, well, I won't force you to do anything, and Khalil is fine as you are.”
'Does Miguel treat his servants as they are?"
"No? I treat them with dignity."
I want my time back.
"Well, then, why did you show your true colors in front of Bosco?'
“Oh, I don't have any deep reason.
I'm just fooling around."
"......"
............
The stress that has built up during his life as prime minister is dissipating.
It's the best way to ......
