The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

The boat runs slippery with a light sound of water.As they bid farewell to the Stanza Empire and the four sides were completely surrounded by the sea, Diana and Kai looked back in unison.

"- So?"

"Suddenly. What's the matter with you?

Likewise, on the deck, Diana returns a sharp gaze to Edward's slender reply, sitting a little further away from the others.

"It's no use deceiving me.I'm sure you requested a pick up from Elgrand, but you didn't have to come to the country to show off the "latest speedboat" that the Stanza Empire is alert to.Though I was saved in the end, at the time I was taken to the back for Your Majesty's treatment, there was no shadow or form to the Queen's story.- However, "hurry" means that something is happening on your side... to everyone in the backyard, and a situation requiring "red roses" is occurring as quickly as possible?

"I agree. I mean, even though it's a" formal "group of greetings in the Kingdom of Elland, it's quite strange at a time when people other than Edward and Chris have become knights of the" Darkness ".Even though there are many people who cannot be trusted by the Royal Palace Knights, people like the Hougung Kintetsu and the King Kintetsu are very familiar with it.If this is part of diplomacy, we need a civilian, but we don't have one.I mean... "

"Kintetsu Gomiya, Kintetsu King.The people in the "Outer Palace Room" who can be relied upon... means that people with positions in the Royal Palace cannot leave their positions, and they are in a state of emergency.Didn't I? "

"The exception is Chris, but I don't think Edward alone can dress up to pick up the Red Rose, so I feel like he was sent out quite impossibly.--Above all, my father didn't explain any details, and at the tight point of "get on the boat without saying 4-5 and come back soon," I can't get into an abnormal situation. "

In pursuit of Diana and Kai, Rita and the royal palace team, who were also on deck, looked at each other in surprise, and Edward and Chris sighed together.

"... I was kind of expecting it, but when you two tag together, it really sucks.Deanna, even though it smells pretty bad by herself, she turned around to Kai. "

"In a way, I'm guessing it's a couple of similarities... no matter how hurried they are, they're still on the boat for a few days, so you can rest a bit before you check on the situation."

"By the way, Chris, sister-in-law."I wonder if the description of a similar couple fits oniisama and onee-sama more than us."

"If you don't know the details because you know something bad is going on over there, you can't rest at all even if your body is rested.Even I left my father behind, so there's more of Dee.It's better to know what's going on, and then I'll settle down. "

"- Okay, okay.I'll talk to you. Don't put pressure on me. "

Following Edward's gesture to sit down, Diana gathered all of the National Embassy and sat on a bench on the deck.

Edward exhaled deeply as he was ready to listen.

"... first of all, I want you to hurry back to Red Rose, but one way or the other, Diana.Simply means saving lives. "

"... do you need the Spiritual Power (Spira) of 'Princess of the Forest'?

"No, if things get that serious, there's going to be a" distant story. "I haven't heard from you so far, so even if you don't use your spiritual powers, Diana's human medical technology should still help. "

Tell me more.

Ah.

You could tell by the air alone that you switched your head to doctor mode in an instant.Edward nodded as he broke his lips a little.

"Where should I start?... first of all, I guess I took turns with Kai and Sola was in the back of the palace... "

Slowly, open your mouth to talk about "up to now".

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

In the underworld, generations of "dark" chiefs were known for their varying degrees.Among them, the contemporary leader, Sirius, was legendarily told about his absurdity in the middle of the year, and soon enough the two names of "Black Wings" were settled, and he was named as one of the major towns of the workers.

And it is the people who are recognized as such a "twin" of Sirius by the workers of the backward society with all the curves.

Should I say "I'll see you for the first time"?Originally, I know that it is disrespectful to greet noble people in your country only with such a voice.From the standpoint, it is still possible to expose yourself to the public with great dignity... I will imitate you in a disgraceful way, I hope you will overflow.

Low, gentle and gentle voices softly fall indoors.Its voice is young, and it is difficult to perceive age by voice alone.

The three "named" people gathered in the "Lotus Room" - Lia, Yolanda and Leticia - and Mrs. Magnum as head of the rear palace.Sheila and Chris, who were seated behind the ceiling and as "connections" in the room, turned their gaze upwards.

With that, Chris opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

"I always wonder if Lord Sola is Kai's father, but he is so strict in manners."

"That's what I thought.Kai doesn't seem to be attentive to his identity, and he hardly uses it as a compliment. "

Lia laughs slightly at the nodded Sheila.

"Certainly, Kai didn't change his identity.It's a strange thing, so it's never disrespectful. "

"Yeah. I've never used a respectful word, but I've never wondered how rude he is.--You must have learned from your father what he meant by "courtesy", not by the upper hand. "

"As a parent, I am relieved to hear that from the famous" Flowers "of Elgrand social circle, Mr. Stressia and Mr. Eustor.As for the behavior towards the nobles, I am going to knock them down... daring to omit respectful words and upper practices means that you have decided that you are not the opponent to confront according to these "formats".It's not a good idea to build walls in front of people who fight together.

Sola's voice was as gentle as when she heard it in Crester territory at "Returning Home."The words were as if he cared for his son above all else.

My name is Sola, and I earn money in my undercover business.Madame Marquis Strecia, Madame Marquis Eustor, Madame Count Keel, Madame Marquis Magnum.

"... it hurts to greet you politely.Please call me Lia. "

"--I 'm also with Yolanda."

"I've heard a lot about you.It is an honor to meet the "Black Lion" who is in the backyard town.Please call me by my name, just like you two. "

Rhea, Yolanda and Leticia greet each other, and Mrs. Magnum greets her graciously.After seeing it all, Sheila also corrected her posture again.

"Dear Sola, We apologize for the inconvenience, but thank you for your patience during the approximate month until Dee's return."

Welcome. For a noble lady, I know that an entrepreneur like me who is neither born nor raised is particularly unpleasant, but I hope you will be patient this past month.

"Well, like that.Dear "Black Lion" - Sola's fame will also be heard by my Count Keel, at the edge of the peninsula.If you feel comfortable with Sola's help, you'll never feel uncomfortable. "

Rejecting Sola's words head-on, Leticia looks back at Ryan and Yolanda for consent.

--Look back.

"... Mr. Rhea?Yolanda-san? "

"Eh... ah, I'm sorry, Leticia.What's the matter with you?

"No, it's you two... Anything?

Leticia looked worried about the two of them looking at each other without engaging in a conversation.It is too rare for the two famous "Flowers of the Social World" not to participate in the on-the-spot conversation and not even understand the flow.I know not only the close Leticia, but also the unnaturalness of Sheila.

Lia and Yolanda, who gathered the eyes of all, smiled bitterly and shook their necks sideways.

"Sorry, it's nothing."

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation."

"That's okay, but...."

"Dear Ryan, If you're feeling ill, don't worry."

"Thank you, Mrs. Magnum.I was just thinking a little bit.- It's okay. "

With the same smile as usual, Rhea turns up again.

"I'm sorry, Sola.I've interrupted your conversation. "

<... no. Please, don't worry about me.

The voice that came back was still calm, but somewhere deep... it made me feel like I was working hard.Even though it looks like a father and son with no resemblance, the dexterity of entering a person's mind with just a voice certainly evokes Khai.

― ― Before the silence became awkward, Chris stepped forward at the end of the conversation.

"I was asking Sola to complement the 'behind the ceiling' where Kai is loose and thin... but recently Kai is almost under Diana's full-time escort, so now that Diana is gone, your hole won't be that big.Speaking of which, as an expert in spirituality (spirituality), I would like to ask Lord Sola to carry out an investigation into the extent to which "enemy" hands are entering the rear palace.

I see. Of course, it is a prerequisite to protect our princess, Diana's loved ones, including you.There are some things called "darkness" about escort duty, and I should be able to help you with something that only I can do.

"Also, can you contact Kai in the Stanza Empire in 'The Far Tale'?

Of course. We've heard from Dualis about you.I told Kai to report every day at a certain time unless there was much left to do.

"Thank you very much. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in this situation.If you don't want me caught, you can tell Sirius and the other Darknesses. "

Thank you for your concern.I don't think there is a problem so far, but if something unforeseen happens that is too much for me, I will consult you again.

As the next Countess of Crester, Chris's words, which often come into contact with the Darkness, are not in vain.Even as the chief of the Shogunate, it is a truly accurate situation judgment.

Regarding the spiritual power (spira), it seems that the information ban was lifted at the border after explaining to Juke in the "Return to the House". After returning to the backyard, Diana explained to the three "named" people at the tea party in the "Garden of the Spirit", and Chris explained to Mrs. Magnum.The four of them accepted the flashy story without any surprise, even if they heard it normally.

― ― After confirming that no one has any objections to interacting with Sola, Chris takes out a small bag.

"As for your" protection ", I have other things... from Deanna.I asked Sola how to use it. "

"Ah. It's a 'defense' of 'grant' made by Kai."Please, open the bag.

Sora prompted Chris to open the bag and remove it from the inside.

"Is this... glass?

"It's not a jewel.Could it be glass beads?

Yolanda answers Sheila's questions.At the size of the thumb earlier, they were cut regularly, like glass ornaments that are popular among ordinary people today.Once upon a time, glass was still an expensive substitute for jewellery, but now that industrial technology has developed, mass production is possible, and jewellery is explosively popular among unreachable people.

Well, Sheila was familiar with it, but there seemed to be quite a lot of glass beads in the bag that weren't very suitable for the rear palace.

"Is this... 'Protecting'?

Yes. I heard that the enemy has Spirituals, and I created them with Kai.Please take it, ladies and gentlemen.

"Thank you very much.... what's this like? "

"We are not spiritualists (Spirituals), but can we still handle them?

Yolanda spoke for me about Sheila's doubts.Answers to clear questions also fall clearly.

This is in the "protection" that "grants" Chi's spiritual power (spira) to the glass beads.... that spiritual power (Spira) was really unique, and once I really released it, I could finally crush any spiritual art (Spirit) - that is, nullify it.

"Deactivate..."

(The person said, "I'm tired so I don't do a lot of things."--Your glass beads are "granted" such Chi's spiritual power (Spira).... there is also a barrier on this side to breaking all spiritual art (spirits), so I slightly transformed the spiritual power (spirals) that I "gave" with my spell, and made adjustments so that I could nullify "harmful" spiritual art (spirits), such as attacks and spells.

"In short, is it a spiritual defense (guard)?If you have this, you can prevent it from being attacked by spirituality, right?

That's right, Chris.... neither I nor Kai are actually so defensive (Spiritual).At the very least, if there is another outstanding person in the "gymnastics world", it will be possible to protect them without taking such troublesome measures.

Does the slightly leaking breathing sound like sighing or deep breathing?

After a little silence, Sora's voice echoes again.

With your glass beads, most offensive spirits (spirits) can be prevented.However, the effect is one-time only.In the unlikely event of a spiritual attack, replace it with a new one as soon as the Guardian is activated.We don't know what's going to happen, so we make a lot of numbers for now.

"Sure... there are quite a few of them."

"Is there anything else I should be aware of when using it?

< No, especially.Since we "grant" it so as to prevent spirituality (spirituality) toward the owner of glass beads, please keep it as close as possible to your skin.

"I understand.... um, can we distribute it at our discretion?

Of course. As the next Shofu-sama wishes.

After receiving a bag from Chris, Sheila gave each of the "amulets" to her indoor companions.Rhea, Yolanda, Leticia, Chris, and Mrs. Magnum.

"Later... if I give it to the maids who are grasping the situation roughly, and to Riddle and Nasha, will I be able to go through it for a while?

"I see.... I don't know what kind of hands the enemy will use, but it would be easier to get closer first."

"That's right, Lady Lia is right.It's not too late to wait for Lord Sola's findings to think about how far this "amulet" will go. "

Yolanda, Leticia, and Mrs. Magnum nodded in agreement with Lia and Chris.

After discussing who to give it to, receive the "amulet" for each maid.

"Well - from now on, we will be watching the changes that will occur when Deanna is gone.If you've noticed anything small, share it on our emergency contact route. "

"I'm sure Sheila is busy educating the Shofu, so please don't push her.Let me know if you have any trouble. "

"I will help you as much as I can.Don't be so reckless as to hold yourself like Deanna. "

Sheila is encouraged by three "named" people who can rely on her, and a secret gathering opens up.

As a result, Sheila could not have imagined that their words would "augur well" for anyone else on the scene at this time.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Leticia and Sheila, Chris and Mrs. Magnum were secretly weakening in the "Between the Lotus."I didn't let my routine as a lady soaked into the bone marrow slip into the sofa, but I was so tired that I almost fell into the mood.

"Lia, I've made some tea."

"Thank you, Yolanda. I'm sorry I distracted you."

"I love it.Don't apologize. "

When it comes to the "back of the ceiling" of the rear shrine, it is the top secret known only to a limited number of people.The "Red Rose Room" is sometimes known to a few elites, not only Deanna and Rita, but to all the maids and ladies in the room, but it is impossible.Even if you serve the same owner, it is normal for the "front" and "back" work to be perfectly divided, and it is common for most of the "front" people to not know the "back"....... However, in modern times, noble houses with "back" subordination are extremely limited to some of the ancient ginseng.

As a result, when Khai's father became permanently stationed in the backyard and set up a place for consultation that also served as a greeting, Rhea very naturally removed the maids.Earlier, it was because of those circumstances that no maid was absent from "The Lotus Room"... I didn't have the manpower to brew tea again, and it was a loathsome mistake to let Yolanda have it.

She drank a sip of her brewed tea and Rhea exhaled.

"Delicious"

Really? Good.

Yolanda also drank her own brewed tea and calmly evaluated the flavour, saying, "It's not bad, but Diana is still a few steps ahead of her tea arm."

Taste the cup in silence for a while.

"... I didn't think so."

Putting the empty cup back on the plate, Rhea murmured as if she were talking to herself in the middle of the day.

"I can't believe he was Kai's father, the Black Lion."

"If you think calmly, you could have predicted it...."

"Perhaps unconsciously, I gave up thinking.It's pathetic that you're so weak.... "

"It's not impossible.No matter how accustomed Rhea is to assassination, it is a completely different dimension that amateurs set a trap of discovery and that Xuanman (pro) takes it seriously and comes to kill.--Even if you hate to think back, it's not because your heart is weak. "

― ― Lyan is the mark of the Marquis of Strecia, but in fact, his position is not a tablet.Rhea's father, Lauren Stressia, was originally a second son, and had a history of being paid by the Stressians in the middle of the year due to her ruined character despite her superiority.As a result of the turn of fate, he inherited the title from his brother, even though he was the second son, but many opposed the succession of the ancient noble and conservative Marquis of Strecia by Lauren, a wife from the Stanza Empire and a daughter who draws the blood of the Empire.The wilderness was in trouble, but above all, the strecian branch, the relatives, rebelled.

Of course, no matter how rebellious they were, Lauren's succession to the throne seemed unshaken, as his brother, the Marquis, structured it well and solidified the outer moat, including the royal one.For those who did not even consider themselves members of the Marquis of Strecia because of Lauren's mid-career and the fact that she married the Stanza Empire, my father's succession to the throne seemed like water to me.... it seems that before my father succeeded to the throne, when Rhea stayed in my mother's womb, she planned to destroy me if a boy was born."It would have been dangerous if I hadn't been Baloon's daughter" was like Dora's mother's mantra when she looked back.

When Rhea was born and found out that she was a girl, the movement of the branch and relatives calmed down for the time being.When Lauren was told that she would succeed to the throne, she rebelled, but had no hands or feet in a perfectly organized situation with no gap between her fingers and her eyes.― ― Lauren's successor, Rhea, is a daughter, and if she could make her sons and grandchildren her partner, she would have worked on the calculation that the Marquis could be made from the inside.

But naturally, things don't go their way.Lauren demonstrates her sensitivity at the Royal Palace without regret, and strengthens her presence as the only one who is an ancient conservative aristocrat yet familiar with the exotic situation.To keep the new Marquis of Strecia out of the way, the situation was all of a sudden challenging one by one, with no branches and relatives left behind.Originally, Strecia's branches and relatives were all powerless people who had managed to become a single aristocrat with assistance from the main house.If the ladder is removed, it is difficult to raise social expenses on your own.

The path they chose in a hurry.That's what it is.

"Since I was a kid, the Shura Hall was supposed to dive.Sometimes a close servant was actually a spy for a subdivision.Not only was it poison killing, but when I was sleeping I was about to be stabbed in secret, and when I fell ill, I was about to get drugged to make it worse... I wonder if one of the teachers who taught me horseback riding in the countryside was about to be killed in a horse crash, acting like one of their relatives.No matter how shallow a plan you crush, you will not be punished. "

"Really, Elgrand is the best place to be, Strecia's branch and relatives."

Less well known, Lia's father, Lauren, possesses a level of swordsmanship that he can cross with the Royal Palace Knight if he wants.I was allowed to study in the Stanza Empire only if I had a certain ability to defend myself.The branches, relatives who knew it, did not directly target Lauren, but killed Rhea as if she had been in an accident, and launched an operation to promote their children and grandchildren as their successors.

But that's what Lauren and Dora were expecting.From a young age, Rhea became bigger with her defensive body tricks than Lauren, and her poisonous way of dodging Dora.An assassin whose hair has grown into an amateur can do a full blow back.

So, while Rhea was wearing the skin of a weak daughter-in-law and defeating the assassin, Lauren gathered evidence of their evil in the tunnel behind her to wipe out the branches and relatives that were now nothing but intruders, and at the beginning of last year, it was almost time to settle everything.

But...

"I was treading that I couldn't hire a pro because they didn't have the money for as long as I could... and at the beginning, I couldn't believe I was attracting such a super first-class mastermind."

"It's just a beginner's rack.Besides, you survived. "

"I'm glad you survived.--He's been roughly informed of our situation.I have to look at the fold and tell you the story properly. "

Rhea went up to the rear palace because, of course, the royal palace gave the side room a hint, but in fact, before that hint, he had been consulted by the Chancellor.----I would definitely like you to enter the backyard as a side room of the "Lotus Room".If Lia, the only daughter, enters the backyard as a side room and becomes the righteous queen with the king's grace, there will be no successor to the Marquis of Strecia.That was the concern of Chancellor Mondria.

Lauren, who was consulted, took the story home for a moment and told Rhea to think about it... one night while she was thinking, a battle broke out against Stressia's house.Unlike previous amateur assassins, a sharpened pro killer attacked Lia.It was not the strength of Ryan if he wasn't lucky, it was simply because the bastard was a virtuous man with few assassins, and even if he was the subject of an assassination request, he tried to determine "whether he really deserved to die".

Rhea managed to prevent the first blow with her hands, but at that moment, she was ready to die with a boulder.No matter what, the assassin knows that he doesn't have enough arms to prevent the real thing he's eating on the road.Until then, the presence of "him" in front of me was amazing.

... but you can't give up anyway.When she realized that she couldn't let him get away with it, she made a deal with him.It's an open-ended negotiation that says, "I'll pay as much as I can, so please don't miss it."

"He" listened to Rhea's words, quietly accepted them, and then looked straight back at Rhea.

"May I ask why you want to live?

That's all I got back.

"The answer" that popped out of a pure white thought while feeling "death" is very... very simple.

When I heard that, he nodded with a smile, thankfully received the money if I could get just the reward for my success, and I gave him this advice.

By the time you find me, the people who are after you will no longer be able to pretend.Not many operators specialize in assassinations in the present Kingdom of Elgrand, but we cannot afford to be alarmed.... I'll tell my friends not to take requests to target you, but just in case, I think it would be wise to hide somewhere until the main problem is resolved. "

The refuge chosen in this way was the "backyard", a garden forbidden for boys.

"I think I'm okay.I could feel that Sola was a fine person even if I just talked a little earlier.Even if you knew your secret and our circumstances, you shouldn't be pretending to expose yourself to the darkness.

"... that's what I want to think.But, Yolanda. Sola is Kai's father.--And Kai always gives Deanna the highest priority for the peace of the rear house. "

"Yes, but... do they feel threatened about this?

"I don't know. --But depending on the situation, you can't say it's impossible, right?

"Well, yes.Depending on the situation, the possibility that your secret will become Diana's emergency is not entirely zero. "

"That's why I think we need to talk.... in fact, I'm not sure how much he's looking forward to me. "

"Sure, we need to know what's going on around here."

As they nodded together, the door made a sound in good time, and the maid who had been holding back the next time came in.

"Dear Lotus, Madame Magnum wishes you well."

"Oh, I just checked out, so what happened?"

I doubted it, but there was no reason to push it back.When I told her to go through, Mrs. Magnum walked in.

Suzuran-sama Suzuran-sama I'm sorry again and again. "

"I don't mind. What's the matter with you?

"... actually, I'm folding in, and I want to talk to you both.--It's about Kai like no other. "

"... eh, what is it?

Kai, a freelance operator who was hired by the Marquis of Landrose to target Diana but was able to spot her vessel and become an ally in her affair, is the Little Lion.

I was surprised when Diana revealed her existence and brought it together, even though it was only a voice, but I didn't feel any particular problem because it was clear that he was putting Diana first in everything and trying to protect her not only life but also her heart.Rhea and Jolanda, the ancient nobles, are actually more resistant to the existence that has been behind the kingdom than the ordinary people of the kingdom.... the fact that the father is "him" is worrying in its current progressive form.

Kai is now dressed up as a maid and entering the National Embassy to cover the back of the Stanza Empire, which told him not to accompany anyone but the maid and the lady. He is accompanied by Diana.--During the preparation process, for the first time, Rhea and Yolanda met directly with Kai.

(... after all, Mrs. Magnum noticed.)

Since she was born, Diana, who should have been familiar with beauty shapes and so on, was about to say "beautiful face", so I assumed that she was quite well dressed, but the beauty of Kai that I actually saw nearby was more than I could imagine.Added to the unique charm between childhood and adolescence, it has a mysterious beauty that can even be felt somewhere.His work pattern, his physical fitness, was forged, but it was still luxurious to look at, so if I deceived him with my clothes, I would have fully faked my gender.

Thus, from both appearance and standing behavior, she performed (produced) the maid "Karin" in a short period of time - finished, "she".

"--Have you two heard anything from him about his origins?

In response to Mrs. Magnum's serious expression, Rhea and Yolanda shook their necks vertically.

"... if you want to finish it without feeling uncomfortable, don't hesitate.I had to do that. "

"There was a distance from Mrs. Magnum's position, you understand?

"Yeah, at a glance.Me too, but the Empress Wang, who was sneaking away from me, also said, "I understood the moment I entered my eyes."

"The Empress Wang also needed it...."

"I thought we were 'similar', but... was it so obvious at first glance?

"Since you only know her just before you leave the social world, you can't help it.--Yesterday he was a young "girlfriend" and a melon.

Not so much, I'm stunned without saying so.Indeed, Kai changed his impression by just putting on clothes, expressions, and standing behavior (it is a natural thing for him to do in his work). Yesterday, he lived in a beautiful beauty without going too far, but he was wearing the style of a maid.... I didn't think it was enough for someone who knew at the time to feel "two melons" at a glance.

"... so, Mr. Sleeping Lotus.What did Kai say about his origins?

"Sola-sama picked me up and raised me where I was abandoned immediately after I was born.I don't even remember my real parents. "

"where they were abandoned, etc."

I heard it was outside the Mernao Forest.

"Mernao Forest...."

The "Mernao Forest", on the west side of the Mamia River, is vast and spans several territories.In the case of the Kingdom of Elland, the colonial lord will change in proportion to its system, but certainly now...

"The landlords of the 'Mernao Forest' were... the Counts of Liesse and Merfa, and then the Marquis of Shrazad."

"Yeah. Unfortunately, I only heard it was outside the woods, so I don't know exactly what territory it was in."

"... without asking, the answer seems to be there."

Mrs. Magnum was as faceless as ever, but her eyes were deeply contradictory.He looks at her in an unusual way, and Yolanda is seriously mistaken in the middle.

"Mrs. Magnum. Are there any signs that something might go wrong?

"No... even if something goes wrong, I don't really care about it because it's just a story that I don't know about in the back of the house."

"Then why did you say so much about him?

"... the little regrets I left a long time ago are now deeply saddened."If this was true... then I shouldn't have pulled it."

The glossy words were not meant for Rhea, but for Madame Magnum, who fell unexpectedly.Though older in the side room, Rhea and Yolanda are still young, and Mrs. Magnum's "distant past" can only be heard again.--But it is also clear from the Crester family's example that hearings and truths often differ.

"Hey, Mrs. Magnum.Is there anything we can do to clear Madame's regrets?

"Thank you for your concern.I thought I'd gather a little more information and decide how to move in the future.... if I need your help, may I ask?

"Yes, of course."

"If there's anything we can do, we'll help.Please don't hesitate to tell me. "

The three of us secretly, strongly, nodded each other.

--Something was secretly about to move out in the backyard of the absence of "Red Rose".
