The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

Three days after the secret tea party with Ridill.

Sheila, who had been asked to adjust the schedule of her schooling and had the same afternoon tea time as three days ago, surrounded the table with Ridill and Nasha.

The location is the closest garden to Nasha's room.It's deep and has a lot of blind spots, and it's not that wide, so it's easy to pay people.

If Nasha refused because of her physical condition, she was fortunate enough to go out with Lidil, but apparently Nasha was serious enough to hide her illness and sent a pleasant reply to Sheila's invitation.... I'm really worried about that unusual determination.

"--Nasha, Ridill.Welcome! "

But even if you make a mistake, you can't express such anxiety.Sheila greets them with a smiling expression in the ready garden.Nasha smiled softly beside Lidil, who had a faint smile. Nasha was obviously thinner than at the side room meeting, and she seemed to be deceived by makeup, but her complexion was also poor.

Suggest a seat for the first time and have Ray pour tea while everyone sits down, while Sheila gently cuts out.

"I'm sorry I said wagamma today.Recently, I haven't been able to see you two, and I've been a little lonely. "

"Well, don't say that water smells like that.From Sheila's point of view, unlike last year, it's impossible to lose free time.If you want to take a breath, please don't hesitate to tell me. "

"Thank you very much. I was relieved to hear your kind words."

After the formal greeting, a refreshing aroma arose from the cup filled with tea.Nasha's expression, which had just listened to the conversation between Sheila and Riddle, moved.

"This tea...."

"It smells good, doesn't it?When I went home, Red Rose taught me. "

It is not strange that Sheila feels that Nasha's taste preference has changed as part of the "side room meeting".If you're starting to like citrus fruit tea, this refreshing herbal tea should suit Nasha's mouth.Diana blends this tea, and Sheila, of course, especially likes Kai (he says he doesn't particularly like it or dislike it, but after spending some time together, he knows how much he likes it.She probably knows more about Diana because she knows about it), and Diana brought more to brew when she returned to the back house.And she said, "I made it too much," and she split it up with Sheila.

After taking the cup, Nasha enjoys the fragrance for a while before slowly putting her mouth on the cup.

Take a sip and drink.

"Hey, that's good...."

"Really? I'm glad."

That's Diana's special herbal tea.I can only thank her so much for her support, even if she's far away.

Nasha's tea relieved Riddil.Confirming that they were relieved, Sheila signaled Ray with her eyes.Once Ray nodded, he didn't have time, and pushed the cart with some plates back.

"Thank you for waiting, Sheila."

"Thank you, Ray. ― ― Mr. Nasha, Mr. Ridill.Today's tea treats have changed my taste a little. "

"Really?--Oh, wow. "

On plates of varying sizes and sizes are various "confectioneries" with varying flavors, textures and smells.Not only the orthodox ones that come out of the aristocratic tea party, but also the salty ones that are popular among ordinary people yesterday, vegetables soaked in vinegar, fruit, etc., although there is not much amount of one kind, but if it is collected slightly more than ten kinds, it will be a good amount.Three people would be more than enough, rather too many.

"You've come up with this, Master Sheila."

"I'm sorry that you two seem to be using the experimental bench, but when I learned how to make a tea party, I actually realized that the restrictions on" tea confectionery "were not so strict.At tea parties according to the old format, sweets such as baked confectionery and mousse and finger foods seem to be promised, but there seems to be no particular agreement such as "absolutely necessary".Then I came up with the idea that it would be good to incorporate the snacks that are popular among these ordinary people, and it's up to me to do so. "

"That's an interesting hobby.I'm excited. "

After Ridill, Nasha nodded, and Sheila stroked her chest down with her heart.The words I just spoke were not a lie, but not everything. Of course, the primary purpose was to observe which of a wide variety of confectioneries Nasha chose, and to grasp her taste preferences as much as possible.

Diana was worried too, but she couldn't be foolish to say that her food was thin.Humans derive most of their life-sustaining power from their diet.If the food collapses, it will only make you feel ill and worse.

If you know Nasha's taste preferences, you can tell her secretly to the kitchen and have Nasha prepare a meal that is easy to eat.At the moment, the kitchen does not know that Nasha's food is becoming thinner (it seems like a thorough effort to dispose of excess food in the room and return only empty plates because it does not leak abnormalities to the outside). Therefore, Nasha's dedication remains the same as before, but if you can present the taste, texture, and smell specifically, you should be able to eat it at least now.

― ― While chatting between tea and sweets, enjoy tea at ease for a while.In the meantime, observe Nasha to an unnatural extent and check out the "confectionery" she is reaching out to.

(After all... fruit is what I like to eat.They also liked the refreshing aftertaste of jelly and vinegar-pickled vegetables.)

I don't even look at baked confectionery such as cookies and muffins that I used to eat.I don't really like salty sweets either.

(I wonder if you like the refreshing aftertaste and throat.If so, this meal is definitely terrible.)

This can be said to be the traditional food of the Kingdom of Elland in general, but basically the country's cuisine is rich in flavor and there are many things left to eat.It's not like there's nothing refreshing about pickling vegetables with vinegar, but it's something that comes with appetizers and appetizers, and it's rare to use such flavors in the main.Even the tea party finger food is usually flavored with strong ingredients.

Not to mention the food that comes out of the Royal Palace, the heart of the kingdom and hall of tradition and style, it is clear that it is the finest food.If the Elgrand Kingdom's concept of gastronomy is not refreshed and refreshed, unless ordered otherwise, Nasha's favorite flavored dishes will probably be few.

(Yes, I think we can improve Nasha-sama's food for now.Later...)

If we can eliminate the main cause of the weakening of Nasha's food, there is nothing to say.

― ― When everyone drank the cup of tea, Riddil smiled it out.

"Nevertheless, it's been a really long time since the tea party between the three of us.Surely it wasn't the right time for you to go home after "going home"?

"Yeah, that's right.We looked at each new room, and then we had tea. "

"I'm really surprised that Nasha and Sheila have more than doubled their space.― ― However, Nasha is a normal treatment in view of your father's performance, and Sheila also contributed to the Royal Palace and the Back Palace through her activities at the end of last year, so it is still a reasonable treatment.

"No, that's not true. Anyway, Nasha, I feel like I've been given a big room with the warmth of Di, no, Red Rose."

"Oh, is that because Sheila has successfully cleared the Red Rose of her suspicion?Rather than being grateful, it's a very ordinary thank you.

"If so, I'd appreciate a lot of awe...."

Outdoors, even though they're paid for, they don't know where or who they're listening.Ridill is sociable and bright, but never superficial, rather cautious.In case I thought about it, I could immediately guess that "Sheila is secretly educated by the Shofu" completely obscured the fact.

... and Nasha is still acting strange.It is good to be able to drink tea and eat "confectionery", but I do not try to join a unique conversation at the tea party, and I stare somewhere far away in an atmosphere that is not here in my mind.

She secretly crossed her eyes with Riddle and Sheila decided to push in from the front.

"- Master Nasha? What do you want?

"Eh... eh?

"It seemed like you were worried about something.I thought you might have something to worry about. "

"Thank you for your concern..."

Nasha had a smile on her face, but her expression was somehow dull and lonely.... somehow, I feel a "wall" that has never existed before.

"It looks like I'm feeling a little sleepy and very cheerful.I apologize. "

"No, I'm not being rude."

"Nasha-sama, recently, even if you invite me in the morning, I have a lot of holidays.Maybe you haven't slept much?

Following Sheila, Riddle also decided to attack from the front.Based on Nasha's condition, it was decided that even if he asked about it from afar, it would end up being washed away.This is the strongest way to fight straight.

Nasha, who was directly questioned by Ridill, remained silent for a moment.

"There's nothing like not sleeping.Indeed, I may have lived a lazy life for a while.--Don 't break your usual habits just because you're not at home. "

"Such as laziness.I've heard that it's because of the shallow sleep at night that I get late in the morning.Or it could be a sign that something is wrong with your health. "

"Stop chasing yourself down with words like laziness.Nasha-sama is a little too strict on herself. "

"Thank you very much for your kind words.... but I can't get into such a tough time.If I were you, I would have to be more disciplined and tough. "

"Nasha-sama... Nasha-sama is already doing her best from my point of view.

Nasha is always generous, modest and calm, but that's why she's never weak.Born as a civilian, she became a daughter of nobility by a fateful prank of her mother's remarriage, and then acquired the manners and behavior of a noble lady that was common in the rear palace in just a few years.It is impossible for a weak-willed daughter.

That's why... if you stubbornly assume that you're "lazy", it's obvious that you'll be forced to.Otherwise, a warning sounds in Sheila's chest.

"Hasn't Nasha always encouraged you for the Baron Crockett family?If you're tired and have trouble sleeping, it's not laziness.--I think it's different to be tough to discipline yourself and bully yourself more than you need to be. "

"Dear Sheila...."

"If it's difficult for you to admit it yourself, I will.― ― Nasha-sama said, "Come on, do your best."

"You're right, Sheila.Nasha-sama, it's okay to be autonomous, but it's also important to recognize and affirm yourself for your hard work. "

"Dear Lidil, until..."

Nasha, who dropped her gaze on the cup, seemed somehow conflicted with Sheila.--As if the heart seeking help and the self admonishing it collide, Hazel's eyes shake with complexity.

Staying silent for a while, Sheila watched Nasha with Lidil.

... finally, Nasha, who seemed determined to do something, turned her gaze up slowly.

"Dear Sheila, Dear Riddle,"

Nasha's strong, prepared eyes eject both of them.

"I, uh-!!



The change was instantaneous.As if Nasha's head was tilted, it was as if her soul had escaped from her body, and her body was relaxed.Nasha, who was about to fall out of the chair, was supported by Ray, who was watching the situation nearby.

"Nasha!?

"What's wrong!?

Ray finally kills the momentum to fall alone.Sheila and Riddle stood up immediately and circled around from both sides to prevent Riddle from falling out of the chair by holding Nasha's shoulders and Sheila supporting Ray.Even in that noise, Nasha found herself completely unconscious.

"Marika! Call for backup now!

Yes!

Marika, who was secretly waiting at the blind spot, ran off on Ray's instructions.Considering Nasha's ill health, Marika was keeping it from her side just in case.... it would have been better if Marika hadn't appeared.

(If you're going to stand up, you always have to be prepared for the worst... you've been taught and you've done exactly what you were taught, but it's not very pleasant for the supposed "worst" to become a reality.)

--While Sheila swallowed up her complicated comfort, Nasha was quickly taken to her room by the hand of the maids Marika called for, and lay on the bedside.In front of Sheila and Ridir, who accompanied her to Nasha's room, Nasha and the maid with Nasha hugged her as they warmed up and drank hot water or put a cold towel on her forehead.

While the room was in a hurry, the door leading to the hallway was knocked unexpectedly.It seemed difficult for the maids to deal with it, so Riddil, who was nearby, opened the door.

"Who are you... Mrs. Magnum?

"I apologize for not touching you first, Riddle.― ― I received a report that Nasha-sama was not feeling well and came to see how she was doing.

"Eh...."

In surprise, Riddle looked back at Sheila.After receiving her gaze, Sheila nodded.

"Thank you, Mrs. Magnum."

"Thank you, etc. Thank you for contacting us."

"Master Sheila!?

In response to Riddle's easy-to-understand question, Sheila gently shook her neck sideways.

"If we respect Nasha's heart, we should put it in our hearts... but it's too risky for us to have a life-threatening incident on our own.Even in the unlikely event of a situation, we can't even ask for a doctor. "

"Well, that's true."

"By notifying Mrs Magnum, I may be resented by Mrs Nasha.However, Nasha's life is more important than my personal grudge. "

You can't lose the most important thing with affection.Nasha's life is undoubtedly the first priority here and now.Of course, Nasha's decision not to disclose her illness to the outside world is important, but it depends on the time and the case.

--Immediately after Riddil consulted with Nasha, Sheila called Mrs. Magnum and reported on the incident.Madame Magnum also felt something was wrong (she was constantly asking the maid with Nasha for advice, but her answer seemed unclear), and after listening to Sheila, she was staffed to deal with whatever happened at the tea party earlier.It was Madame Magnum who promptly called the other maids.

Of course, she also told Mrs. Magnum that "Nasha doesn't want anyone to know about her condition."Madame Magnum, who had learned Nasha's feelings, did not tell anyone else about the incident at this stage, and ordered the maids who had carried Nasha to say nothing else.

The maids with Nasha leaned down with a blue face in the presence of such a capable sheriff.

"Njo, Madam Chief....."

"This is, um..."

"I'll talk to you later.Prioritize Nasha-sama first.Your face doesn't look good, so get me some chrysotiles. "

At Mrs. Magnum's behest, the maids moved out like others and left to pick up the items they had been instructed to.In the room where Madame Magnum and Ridill moved to Russia to turn Nasha's futon into something thicker.

- Your Highness.

As I took a step forward to help Mrs. Magnum with Ridill, I could be stopped with a quiet, but clear, strong voice.... so far, there's only one person who calls Sheila the "Shofu".

Sheila walked to the wall to keep Mrs. Magnum out of her way and stopped slightly away from the bedding.

Sola-sama, you're here.

I've been watching you for a while.... so, there's something I'm a little curious about.

Outdoors such as gardens, inside buildings, they can hide anywhere.--Especially in this backyard where Deanna says "thieves are delighted", it seems enough to say that there is no place they can't peek, so it is not unnatural even if Sola listened to the noise and watched the state of the room.

(It's very unnatural for Sola-sama to be able to speak up in this situation....)

There's also Riddle in the room who doesn't know about Sola.Of course, I didn't speak in such a loud voice as to reach Lidil, but Sola, who is a pro among the pro, wouldn't do anything to make her look halfway.

"What's bothering you...?

Yes, I thought we should hurry up and let you know.

"What is it?

There are now four people in this room, including the Princess.... but if you explore in Explore, you can sense a sign of "five people".

"Hey, what are you doing here?

That's, I mean. Does it mean that there is someone lurking somewhere like Sora and watching this room?

Or...

< Four of them are clearly indicative of "people", but the remaining one is a thin and vague indication that they are not yet mature.To the extent that I was finally found after deep 'exploration' at this distance, it is still weak, thin and dull.... however, it's beating as one sure "life".

"Um... what does that mean?"

In short, the "life" in the middle of maturity before it took shape as a "person" now exists in this room.

Listen to Sola with your ears.

Put it in your head and chew it.

Derived from that, that's exactly the conclusion -!!

"Nasha-sama is pregnant...!?

In an unexpected situation, Sheila just turned pure white and stunned herself.
