The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

--At dawn, the sun rises.

A while after the dazzling dazzling sunlight illuminates the world and people wake up.

By the time the sun approached Jomtien, the main parties involved in the administration of the Stanza Empire (each festival) had gathered into the "Morning Room", which they used to make important recommendations to the Emperor.

"Morning meetings" are not as widespread as formal meetings, since in some cases they are also attended by ministers, and in some cases close to 100 leading figures are gathered.

And this time...

"From now on, we will hold a general consultation to select the Queen of Stanza Empire!

The emperor's seat was vacant, but the first prince, sitting near the center, slightly shifted the chair and raised his voice with pride. And those gathered together will give thanks. About a hundred of them. With the imperial capital, the princes in the neighborhood, a large number of ministers, the presence of known experts, and even the officials of the temple, it seems to have become the largest council in the past.

"Let's begin by congratulating everyone on the arrival of the legendary Virgin in our great country!!

"Long live the Stanza Empire!

"― ― Glory to the royal family forever!!

"I wish the future Queen Stanza happiness!!"

During the "morning meeting", surrounded by enthusiasm, EXIGA calmly observes the atmosphere of the venue without being flushed. His seat is superior when viewed in its entirety, but sequentially within the royal family… In short, it is a great place to observe the whole of the more than a hundred people in a subtle and exquisite position.

(But... most of us here have no doubt that the princess of the Kingdom of Elland will be the queen on his own without the will or consent of the country. The "distortion" of the Imperial Palace may be greater than I thought.)

Before Exiga thought about it, the Queen's selection consultation was about to start in earnest without the heat cooling down.

"When it comes to consultation, we don't have much to decide on. At best, who will be the witness at the Imperial Palace signing the matrimonial affidavit?"

"Exactly. Your Majesty doesn't have a queen at the moment. There is no need to abandon the ritual."

"Later... it's not like there's no ceremony, so we have to prepare for the marriage ritual. Isn't it too early to decide who's in charge today?

"Oh, yes!

Conversations between moderate and elderly ministers. - Wait, it was the grand servants who were twenty to thirty years younger than them.

"- Thank you for waiting, ministers. Of course, I have no objection to calling the Virgin Empress queen... but I cannot agree with the Emperor's decision."

Oh my God.

"His Majesty is still on the sick floor. In the future, the Emperor's seat will remain empty to make the Empire more prosperous."

"Don't you feel too sorry for that young man who made a marriage vow with the Virgin?

"You! You fool the Emperor!!

"No matter how noble and noble the Emperor may be, it is only in this world. ― ― The Virgin is in heaven's mercy, the supreme and admirable. It is a fool against heaven that such a Virgin's husband cannot even take a sword and protect the Virgin in an affair."

"Me....!

Epic ministers can afford to raise their voices as they gaze with a faint smile at the heavy ministers who are so angry with their teeth as to sound.

"We hereby nominate His Royal Highness the First Prince to marry the Virgin. Honorable for his bravery and his confidence from his soldiers, His Royal Highness the First Prince is worthy to rule the future of the Stanza Empire. --I think I deserve to receive the love of the Virgin."

"Dear Left, first of all, I would like to make a marriage vow as Princess, and when the First Prince is appointed Emperor, I would like you to be Empress."

"What are you talking about? The First Prince already has a princess!

"Looking back on the long history of Stanza, it would have been unusual for Her Highness and Her Royal Highness to abandon the Princess."

"I didn't mean to bleed to marry a Virgin sent by God."

--From there, it was muddy. Although we expected this to happen in the middle of the year, the ministers who did not want to let go of their vested interests and the grand generation who wanted to take their seats did not give up the emperor and the first prince as partners in Diana's marriage, and the scene deepened the confusion. Both shaken experts can only express vague opinions that cannot be decisively struck, as anger does not change their necks to fly.

If the two of them pull together and the council itself breaks down in the air, can we buy some more time?!

"May I make one suggestion?

A cool voice sounded like a mockery of Exiga's passive thoughts. Sitting down, the group was invited from the temple with its unique costume and air presence.

Among them, a man wearing a robe of a senior priest stood up slowly.

"Both sides say that both are difficult to follow, sincerely. However, it is also true that we are not going to go any further than we are discussing here."

But...

"Well, listen. As for our temple, first and foremost, it is essential for the Virgin to stay in the Stanza Empire forever. --Anyway, this time the Virgin is revealed by heaven, and at the same time she is the son of a man, and she has her hometown."

"... that's true."

"For that reason, both of you will agree that you should enter the royal family immediately. So, first of all, how about a compromise proposal to prepare the premise of the marriage contract that the marriage partner of the Virgin is limited to the" Emperor "and retain the Virgin in the Stanza Empire by signing (signing) the temple, the imperial family, and the ministers? If the Emperor is allowed to play again, and if he hides, he will marry the next Emperor."

... as usual, the temple is undiminished. At present, the relationship between the Royal Temple of Stanza and the Emperor of Stanza is good, and we are able to maintain the two relationships that have been held, but I hear that in the past there were times when the temple puppeted the emperor of time and boasted power. It is certain that such authoritarianism is still smoking in some parts of the temple, and if you look closely, it seems to be one of your factions that has been called this time. The intention to use the "Virgin" to enhance the prestige of the temple is clear.

― ― The elders and grand ministers looked at each other in a "compromise" of priests who were calm, seemingly stopped fighting as servants of God.

"Sure... in that case, you can stay with the Virgin."

"But can you silence the kingdom with one such premise? It's hard to argue if you're told that you didn't actually get married."

"Even though it is a prerequisite, the form is the same as the marriage affidavit. In view of the fact that His Majesty is currently on the sick floor and is rude and opaque in his future, I would rather respond in good faith. If you think about the Virgin, can I explain it to you?"

"I see...."

The air of the field flows to the "compromise plan" of the shrine. ― ― The debate in the muddy swamp that was close to cursing each other subsided, and the "morning meeting" was slowing down.

"Objection. - I can't agree to the proposal."

That, with a moment of silence. Exiga breaks the silence.

With the sudden remarks of Exiga, who had been only one of the crowd until now, and with more attention than needed, Exiga did not fix her gaze on anyone and spinned her words brightly toward the whole.

"Indeed, Princess Diana has not yet entered into a formal marriage with anyone. She is, however, the head of the kingdom's side chamber, the grace of King Elgrand. I can assure you that King Elgrand has come to cherish Princess Diana as an irreplaceable being. If you welcome such a princess into the Empire without a word, as a member of the royal family, it is imperative to buy the wrath of the Elland Kingdom."

"Don't be shy. It is better to be the son of His Majesty the Emperor, who reigns over our brave and courageous empire."

"Even if the kingdom of Elland were to burn in anger and wage a war to get the Virgin back, wouldn't it be enough to fight back?

"Well, why would the minister want to bow to Princess Diana, the 'Virgin' 's birthplace, to get her? God will rejoice in it."

The minister, who expressed his ridiculous views on Exiga's ironic gavel, murmured in an awkward manner.

Looking around the gathered people, Exhiga spoke from the bottom of her belly, and exhiga persuaded.

"If you worship her as a saint, you should first confirm her will. If the princess wants to stay in the Stanza Empire, and if it is God's will to save the people as the queen, then the temple's plan is acceptable. However, if you wish to return to the Kingdom of Elland, we must deliver the princess immediately."

"Stupid thing....!

"You're going to pass on the virgin who came down to play to another country!

"What a fool!

Not only the two factions that were fighting earlier, but also the shrines and other faces suddenly accuse me. Exiga is physically safe because she is a royal family, but otherwise she will be stranded and expelled from the room.

― ― To beat the noise, Exiga slapped the table once with her palm.

"That's it! If this arrogance destroys the country, you still don't understand!!

Never before has Exiga claimed anything so strongly in public. After all, he was the eighteenth prince and mother, and he was not involved in politics (every festival) or war. He was only thought to be a famous prince.

Surprised by the intensity of such an exhiga, the scene was temporary, but quiet.

"Worship the Virgin without asking about Deanna's heart. Without trying to find out the anguish of those waiting for her, the Elgrand Kingdom's inner affections would not be defeated when the battle broke out. What a shallow thought. - What arrogance."

"Your Highness..."

"Why do you think we can treat Deanna as we like? Why do you not doubt that it is natural to suppress others with power, with arms, and with force, and to make them obey? No one understands why he is arrogant enough not to realize that he is not yielding to Stanza's power.

"....."

"Since Deanna set foot in the land of the Stanza Empire, has she ever given in to the unreasonable power of the Stanza Empire? Sometimes confronted head-on, sometimes supple, and she never moved as the Empire wanted. As an envoy of the Kingdom of Elland, he continued to explore the best he could for the sake of friendship between the Kingdom of Elland and the Stanza Empire. Anyone who sees you up close will know that Deanna will not be able to follow her own voluntary" oath. "

The two factions and the temple that were arguing at first are swimming their eyes to find an objection.

As a result, when the speaker was gone, the sound of a light wand echoed.

"Ho ho ho... no, I'm so glad you're here, Your Highness."

"Baloon"

"I thought I was going to visit the mountain, but now that His Majesty has given me a whisper, will you let me bite one? Thank you for all your hard work on your grandson and unchanging granddaughter."

"... I often say that"

The Barloon Ones were called to this meeting by an unrivalled Exiga. From one scene at Lars' banquet, before the fall of the emperor, he stepped on the idea that Diana and the sincere young people would not be harmed.

"The history of the gathering. I won't say anything bad. Release Princess Diana now and return to the Kingdom of Elgrand. --If you spare your life,"

"... what do you mean? Baloon"

"Elgrand is not a sweet country, as you might think."

With a full smile, Baroon Ong's eyes did not smile at the shards. Rather, it's terribly serious.

"What a time to hide. I spent a lot of time exchanging letters with my niece who went to the Kingdom of Elland, and sometimes they sent me books about the history of that country with them to read them. --That country has not carried out any wars of aggression since the time of its predecessor, the" Kingdom of the Lakes "."

- You know what that means?

All the grand servants who were asked looked suspicious... those who were still young and flexible had their doubts on their faces.

"You're not in a war of aggression....? So how do you think you unified the land?

"It's not that simple. ― ― Return even the country that fought to invade the kingdom. For more than a thousand years, we did not start any battles from ourselves, but merely defended ourselves, put under our umbrella the countries that resonated in the way of the" Lake Kingdom ", and spreading our territory. Of course, we will also thoroughly defend the country under our umbrella, and when the country under our umbrella is attacked, we will beat the other country as an allied country. It seems that when the territory spread to some extent, the entire group of urban states was put together as the" Kingdom of Elland ", and then it took 100 years to unify the peninsula."

"Well then....."

A young man stood up who perceived something after listening to the "History of the Kingdom of Elgrand" of Barloon Ong. --Brad, a young man who recently became a leapfrogger. He also reserved a seat at Exiga's nomination as someone who had been involved with Diana.

I need your help to save Diana - Brad answered me twice in response to Exiga, who visited the room late at night and lowered his head. This is how you fight with me.

"Since the reunification of the peninsula, has the Kingdom of Elgrand continued its history of nowhere to fight... not because it was never in love with peace, but simply because it was never attacked from anywhere or by anyone?

"Dear Left, if you turn your back - the moment you are attacked, his country throws the skin of a helpless little animal and feeds the merciless carnivore's claws and fangs into their throats."

"Shh, but! This time, we will not enter the Kingdom of Elgrand!

"― ― The kingdom of Elland is such a lowlife country that it is forced to take its side chamber head away by another country in a marriage that ignores its will, and that it does not think it will" harm "its own country?

"As a possibility, it's impossible!

"I don't know what's impossible... but I think you should call it a convenient delusion rather than a hopeful observation."

The bitter objection was rounded off and the old minister sank.

At last, the Barloon Monk even smiles and speaks with a sharp light in his eyes that doesn't make him feel old.

"Earlier, His Highness said that Princess Diana would not yield to the" power "of Stanza... but as far as she can see, the Kingdom of Elgrand, her homeland, is also not a sweet country to yield to Stanza. Rather, if you run to your own desires and put your hands out, it will be us who will see the painful eyes. --The illusion and arrogance that there is no kingdom beyond the power of the Empire should be abandoned now and the princess should be returned to the Kingdom of Elland," he says.

"I agree with Mr Baloon, with all due respect."

Likewise

"... friendship with the Kingdom of Elland is the new direction the Stanza Empire should aim for."

"If you respect the Virgin, you must leave....."

Poppy, poppy. There are sporadic voices from all over the huge round tables in support of Barloon Ones. Not only those called by Exhiga, like Brad, but also young people - and perhaps those with hearts worrying about the empire ahead - stood up.

... but...

"--Stupid."

Except for the Barloon Ones, those with enough power to overcome the gaze of the First Prince sitting next to the Emperor's throne in the middle of nowhere.

"... Say hello. The First Prince is right!

"Don't be shy, the young people are so tough!

"It was God's will that the Virgin came to the Empire of Stanza. For the Empire to obtain the Virgin, that is, to do as God wills. If the Kingdom of Elgrand sees it as a" danger, "then his country will be a disbeliever against God."

He could not abandon his arrogance and was too powerless before the overwhelming majority who continued to seek the Virgin.... I couldn't help feeling helpless enough, no matter how many allies I scratched.

--The First Prince finally stood up to the sound of roaring accusations.

"I didn't know such cowards were still breathing in their stanzas. Not to mention, even if I gave my name to the royal family, I would not feel comfortable saying that the stanza is inferior to other countries. - The traitor must be prepared to be punished."

"His Highness the First Prince,"

"I didn't have to check the wishes of the Virgin Temple in the first place. There is no woman who would hate to be queen of the Great Stanza Empire and be mine."

Your Highness, please wait.

"Even if, in the unlikely event, the Holy Virgin thinks of King Elgrand and wishes to return to his country. She seems so compassionate that if she refuses, the necks and torso of the Elgrand women who came with her will be separated, and I will accept the marriage."

"Ah, that's..."

"If the Virgin has chosen the Stanza Empire of her own volition, she will not speak to the Kingdom of Elland. Still, if there's anything bothering you, you just have to use the Virgin's neck as a shield."

... but the First Prince whispered to me that I had to allow other followers for despicability. I hear that most of his "courage" was achieved by stealing someone's precious things and stepping on the other person's heart, but apparently the rumor is correct. If you take hostages and let them obey you, and if you let them go after fulfilling their purpose and encounter them more generously, you can still say that it is a human affection and sincere response, but for him, the hostage is just a tool for subordination, and if he is done with it, he has a reputation for playing and discarding it appropriately. ― ― So, if there is no idea that it would be a "danger" to the splendid Elgrand Kingdom, it is visible that it is a line of destruction.

(... seriously, at a time when Kai is in the First Prince's "women of the Kingdom of Elland", what he thinks is nothing but a sandy cabinet.)

I can't say what a great thing because I was deceived, but it was quite shallow when I believed that the Kingdom of Elland had sent only "women" who had no power to defend themselves in the first place. ― ― The Baloon Ones have pointed out that the Kingdom of Elland is a country that cannot be left unattended, but there is also a lack of thinking power in the unexpected.

(So... Your Majesty couldn't declare the Crown Prince to the First Prince.)

The Emperor was a gorgeous woman, but his thoughts were not dull. Although it was not noticeable due to its low level of interest in politics (for each festival), Exiga knows that what needs to be considered is someone who thinks hard.

It is clear that if the First Prince were to become the next emperor, he would enter the Kingdom of Elgrand without thinking and be retaliated against. His Majesty therefore did not proclaim the Crown Prince.... I guess I couldn't do it.

"Oh, that's my First Prince."

"Exactly. Your Highness is right."

"I will not look around the world, such as the woman who refuses His Highness."

... but naturally, those who have the First Prince do not point to the dangers of his theory.

"Well... I won't let go of the treasure of the Elgrand Kingdom."

Sure. In exchange for the safety of the women trapped in the backyard (Halem), let the Virgin proceed and accept the marriage. "

"As long as you sign the premise, is it okay to finish here now?

If we can hold the Virgin for the time being, the elders can't help it.

"Of course - that is God's will."

In addition, if the temple side that wants to get the Virgin is also added!

"... oh dear. I don't think it's for your own good to stop."

"Barloon old man. We will discuss your traffickers and treason later. Prepare yourself."

"Brother!!

"- So are you. I can't help but remember facing me with the misconception of a lowlife who is merciful enough to allow the last seat of the royal family. You were chosen as a national angel or something, but you have the illusion that you have become great!

"... no. I realized that I was unconsciously delusional about being special, and I woke up from the illusion that I believed that it was" great ". My brother is still alive - he took off the stupid world!!

"You!!! --fool me or fix it there!!!!

I've heard rumors that the boiling point is low... but even if you pull out your sword to this extent, you nod that decent servants won't gather. No one wants to serve the Lord who beheaded you instantly.

Blue Samba, who ran to the First Prince with a sword of his own, stood up kicking his chair as he stopped rushing over the wall to shelter Exiga. Keep a sufficient distance from the table to avoid getting caught up in the surroundings.

"... I'm not so good at swords."

"Ah, after this period, are you still facing me?"

"Unfortunately, I can't be killed here by you. --I have an oath to fulfill alive."

"Me....!

I don't know how far I can go. But if we can identify the opponent's sword, we have a chance.

As a precaution, the expression of the First Prince was hatefully distorted when he saw Exiga pulling out the sword he had kept with him.

"This...!!

Avoid swinging swords from the front and keep moving forward. ― ― The sword relies on the knowledge read in the book that there is nothing you can do if life jumps into your pocket in time.

"You...."

Sorry!

The First Prince's pocket was empty when he could not see Exiga's movements and waved down his sword. I didn't think Exiga was going straight ahead, so I was wounded and strayed from my body, hitting me where I fell apart. --The first prince, who fell brilliantly, took down his sword with excess momentum.

(Did you manage to...?)

For the first time in my life, I took a deep breath to calm my unknown breath - that moment.

"- What are you blurring about!! Catch him, boys! Kneel before me!!

The fallen First Prince calls out, and his supporters eat bubbles and rise. Samba and Brad stand between them to hold them off as they approach Exiga, but there's nothing they can do about it.

--Soon the situation reversed, and Exiga was crowded and suppressed by several ministers and knelt before the First Prince.

(Here, here!

In front of Exhiga, whose movement had been sealed, the first prince, whose expression had disappeared, stood loosely with his sword.

"How dare you fool me in public...!

"... if those who disobey you cannot be recognized and must not be slaughtered, the Stanza Empire, ruled by your brother, will eventually become a land of endless loneliness."

"Shut up....!

"When you cut me down, as my brother thinks, you will never carry anything. ― ― Deanna can't be seen in a small way that fits into my brother's hand.

"Don't you see I'm telling you to shut up!

"I won't shut up. As a person born into the royal family, I have a duty to live for the Empire until my life is exhausted. - To remain silent on the foolish act of destroying the empire is tantamount to renunciation of duty."

"Ki-sa-aaaaaaa!!

Looking at the sword of the upside-down First Prince approaching, it feels like other human resources.

Time went slowly, and I felt far away that Samba called his name.
