Side Story: The Commoner with Every Attribute (Richard's Perspective)

I stepped through the door to His Majesty's office in the Royal Palace, feeling a little nervous.

I am this country's chancellor, so I am not nervous simply because I have come to this room. I have to tell His Majesty about the boy named Leon who came to the residence yesterday, and that is what has me a little nervous.

Now then, I wonder how His Majesty will react...

His Majesty is the sort of person who readily appoints capable people, even if they are commoners, so I doubt he will object to the ducal house taking Leon under its protection. However, I wonder how he will react to the fact that Leon can use magic of every attribute...

I was truly shocked when I saw it yesterday. Even after seeing him use magic of every attribute with my own eyes, I can hardly believe it.

Leon said that he is not an Apostle-sama, but his intelligence, which is far beyond what one would expect from a commoner, along with his refined conduct, bearing, and speech, all serve as proof that he must be an Apostle-sama. And the crowning proof is the fact that he can use every attribute.

I am more than ninety percent certain that Leon is an Apostle-sama. I cannot say so to him, but I should call him Leon-sama.

Perhaps he is unable to reveal his true identity for some reason. If so, I must pretend not to notice and protect him with all my might.

For that purpose, I must secure His Majesty's cooperation.

"Good morning, Your Majesty."...
