To Mill...Did something happen to older sister?

Like entering a battle and being killed in action?

It can't be right.

I mean, it's that sister.

Even if it's not as much as me, but sister has an abnormal amount of MP and a considerable level of skill as a knight. There's no way she'd die so easily. I've completely forgotten about the ex-Japanese reincarnated person Dereonola, that's become a part of the execution grounds, while trying to imagine what in the world happened to Mill, but I can't think of anything but bad scenarios.

Why did the King ask where I was born?

Why did the King confirm if I have an older sister?

In other words, I'm sure he was just confirming that I was the son of the lord of Bakuddo. Since it was confirmed that I was the second son of the Viscount Greed family with Status Open, so it must have been him double-checking. It doesn't mean that there couldn't be someone else with the same name.

The connection between the King and my house is light. Just the fact that my mother was born in the sub-family of Duke Sandak a family of politicians in the capital. Since it's a Duke it should have some sort of connection with the royal family but since mother is the fourth daughter of the third son or something like that, so no matter how I think about it that seems unrelated. If we were to go back several generations then it wouldn't be strange for there to be a connection but that sort of thing is the same as being strangers.

After all, the closest connection is that sister is in the direct knight group. However you know, if it's the knight leader or sub-leader then they would be the King's direct subordinates but even if he didn't know the face of a new knight below that it wouldn't be strange. I'm sure there was at least an audience when she received investiture so maybe he fell for her at that time?

While I'm thinking those sorts of things the judgments quickly advanced and when it was about over a knight came to call for me. I followed after the knight while still trembling. I was even brought into the government office building.

While waiting with a disheartened and pale face and the knight from just now came to call for me. Seeing my facial color the knight got worried and called out to me.

"What's wrong? Greed-sama. It seems like your face is pale? Do you feel ill?"

"Umm..Could it be that something happened to my older sister? My older sister is named Miluhaia Greed, she should be a member of the first knight group but.."

"Yeah, I know of her. Since I'm a co-worker after all. Greed-sama is Lord Greed's younger brother right? Then you should know.."

So this person was a member of the first knight group? What is he saying I should know?

"About what? Is my older sister alright?"

"Eh? What are you talking about? Of course she's alright. Even this morning she was lively and asking for seconds in the dining hall of the quarters in the capital.."

I...see. I quickly calmed down. But, in that case then what is it?

"If it's not about my older sister, then what in the world does his Majesty want with me?"

"I don't know? I haven't heard that far..However, I don't think you need to worry that much. He didn't seem angry...Now, we've arrived. Once you've entered you're in the audience of his Majesty. Proceed to about halfway into the room with your head down and then please offer your gratitude to his Majesty as a retainer. Since it doesn't seem you're in possession of a weapon, then you need to kneel with your right knee standing and place your right arm on your knee, and make a fist with your left hand and stand that on the ground please. Until you're given permission please face down and don't speak."

After saying that the knight from first knight group opened the door. Simultaneously he declared my visit.

Just as I was told by the knight I bowed down to my knee and offered my gratitude.

"Umu, Greed. You did well to appear before me. It's fine for you to raise your head."

"Ha."
