The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

- Pregnancy.

It's hard to say what words mean, that a woman has a baby in her womb.In aristocratic societies, the term "pregnancy" is often used as a celebration, but among ordinary people, "pregnancy" is better.Either way, the meaning is the same.

There is no doubt that it is a great thing to be born a long time ago, because it does not change the fact that a new life has lived.The same is true for nobles and commoners alike.Hundreds of years ago, nobles might not have been happy if they had not been qualified boys to succeed the house, but when the law was amended to succeed women to the throne, pregnancy became equally delightful for everyone.

Yes, it's supposed to be a celebration.Congratulations, I'm sure.

And yet...!

(Hmm.Why? When, where, who...!!

upset minds, confused thoughts.From the soba you want to calm down, various emotions pop out and shake your head and heart.

The "reality" conveyed by Sora's spiritual power (Spira) certainly fits perfectly in view of Nasha's situation.I've heard that you may fall asleep as soon as you get pregnant, and above all, eating preferences change and some things seem unacceptable is a typical symptom of convulsions.

If you think about it, you can solve all the mysteries of Nasha's illness.I'm convinced.

(But...!

Nasha is a "side room."Even if it's not official, it's the king's "wife."

The fact that the side room (Nasha) was pregnant meant that the king's "son" lived there.

The king and she were in love with a man and a woman!

(.....)

Impossible, whether it's reason or emotion, things that are no longer mixed up and can't be distinguished shout."Impossible" reasons also come to mind at the same time, but it is difficult for Sheila to judge whether rationality is coming out calmly or whether she just wants to assume the feeling of wanting to deny doubt.

There's only one thing for sure.In the present posterior palace, the celebration of "side room pregnancy", which should originally be celebrated by mentioning the country, is not always welcomed.

(Your friend said she had a baby.If that's all, it's just pure congratulations...)

How should Sheila face this "truth"...

I don't know what happens in the backyard in the absence of Red Rose.--It may be difficult, but please keep everyone at peace.

Diana's words came to mind as if it were an unshaken lighthouse, standing like a storm.― ― Why did Sheila's dear best friend travel to a distant foreign country?

(That's right.I....!

Regardless of Nasha's "truth", even if the bitter reality was waiting for Sheila, what should be done would not change.

As the one who entrusted Diana with the "posterity".No matter what, Sheila must preserve the tranquillity of this rear house and the lives of everyone who lives here.

If there is a new "life" here now.It's also something Sheila should protect.... no matter what the circumstances, the life in this Elgrand kingdom is equal, because it is Juke's "people" of Sheila.

Take a big breath and exhale slowly... Sheila turned her gaze up.

"... I'm sorry that I got upset even though it was ugly."

< - No, it's been a short while since you got your mind back together.Excellent work.

"Thank you very much. So... I'll check again, but in Sola-sama's opinion, Nasha-sama is pregnant.Is that what you think?

It is on the left side.Nevertheless, as I mentioned earlier, the signs are still weak, thin and dull.It's still a time for prediction.

"... it hasn't been that long since I was possessed."

As a matter of fact, Sheila is not very familiar with pregnancy and childbirth.Girls born into noble families are routinely educated by close relatives, such as mothers and female relatives.Even though she lost her mother at a young age and there was no female aristocrat who was close to her, Sheila's scope of education was uneven.Even tutors can teach manners and nobility, nobility, social rules and good ways to cross, but the mechanism of pregnancy through the work of men and women, how to grow up in the mother and give birth on October 10 after the child stays, etc., have become "blurred" teaching methods in hired tutors due to very delicate fields.Diana just traced the surface, and when she asked, she only had the knowledge and actual feeling of being certified as a beginner.... that's what I regret now.

(Still... it's certainly not a good thing for Nasha-sama or your child that you can't eat as much as you are now and suddenly fall down.--First of all, we need to get a proper doctor's diagnosis, understand the current situation of Nasha and her child, and prepare something good for your body in the early pregnancy in the kitchen.)

As you organize what needs to be done, your head is clearing up.Next to Sheila, who was putting together her thoughts, the maids who came back with the necessary supplies passed by without hesitation.... they were also worried about Nasha, but they didn't know what to do.

While fixing the wind that followed the maid's back, Sheila spoke secretly to the "back of the ceiling".

"Thank you, Sola.... I'm sorry to bother you, but could you keep an eye on this room for a while? "

I understand.Certainly, it will be a little difficult to accomplish this matter, including the Princess, with the "front" of the rear shrine alone.- That's a wise decision.

"It's not a 'little', it's a difficult thing... but I have to do it.Otherwise, I won't succeed Dee's current "red rose" wishes. "

That's right.Now, I will watch the struggle of Her Highness from here on out.

... Khai was too, but Sora is even tougher than that.At present, it is best understood that the only thing he calls Sheila is the intimate pressure (pressure) to become a person worthy of her position, not to admit that Sheila is in that seat.

Before, I complained a little bit about the severity and pressure of Sola to the Kai opponent and said, "Everyone is fooled by the gentle tone of things and gentlemen, but Dad, it's basically the demon instructor temperament.Don't take any trouble with the target until you reach the level you want.As a father, it's sweeter than ever, but as a teacher, you teach me merciless lessons, so I thought it would be amazing to be able to switch that much. "It is only a stance against disciples that I want to penetrate into the mountains, but "Sheila cannot grow into a person worthy of the seat of the righteous queen." Equal "Diana cannot leave the rear house for long." Equal "Sora's beloved son can be forced to maintain the status quo forever." As a father, I can't complain because it is in a sense reasonable that Sora becomes a demonic teacher to raise Sheila to a fine righteous queen.--He is truly a parent-child who resembles others so much as he hates them.

― ― Sheila, who was watched and prepared by Sola, took a step,

At that time.

"Nh...."

With a small voice, Nasha's eyes slowly open.Did the improvement in bedding and the effects of chrysotile improve blood circulation?Even in the distance, you can see that the complexion is better than before.

"Master Nasha... do you understand me?

"Riddle, sir?

"I'm glad I noticed... oh, don't get up yet."

Riddle tears at Nasha as she tries to get up.I know exactly how worried she is about Nasha.

Nasha, gently pushing her shoulders by Riddle, turned her upper body back to the bedside and slowly looked around the room.

"Mug, nom, madame...?

... perhaps the presence of the chief of staff, who would have been one of her least wanted to be known, made her climb into fear and awe for a moment.

"Master Nasha. Thank you for waking up."

"Yes, yes."

"... do you remember what happened to you?

"Yes... I fell down at the tea party."

"Thank you on the left.Therefore, we determined that it was an emergency and entered the room without obtaining consent.I apologize for your disrespect. "

"No...."

Mrs. Magnum's face is as calm as usual.I'm not sure Mrs. Magnum didn't notice Sheila's reaction, but when she looked at Nasha, she decided it wasn't a good idea to poke her in the face.Mrs. Magnum is just good at controlling her emotions, not touching people on the surface.Rather, it was Nasha's fear that he dared to let go because he was good at perceiving the subtlety of others' emotions.

"I've heard a lot from Sheila and Riddle before you fell, but it's not unusual to suddenly lose consciousness without any premonition.Currently, there are no physicians stationed in the rear palace, but we have requested the dispatch of an interior physician from the Royal Palace to conduct a detailed examination. "

"No!!

Suddenly, Nasha shouted loudly enough to echo through the room.Nasha woke up more than ever before, not letting go of Madame Magnum, who had stopped her words under pressure from Nasha's voice.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Magnum.I just had mild anemia due to everyday inactivity.It doesn't bother the doctors at the busy royal palace. "

But...

"Even at today's tea ceremony, I just realized that I had lived a lazy life sweet and easy to spend in the back of the palace recently.In the future, I will change my mood and try to get to bed early and get up early, and develop my lifestyle.That way this will never happen again. "

"Master Nasha... please calm down"

"I am more calm than ever.That's why I've decided not to go out of my way to call a doctor because I'm not sick. "

"But with that look..."

"Rest a little and your complexion will return.Anyway, we don't need a doctor.Even if a doctor is dispatched, you will go home.― ― In the first place, the work of the Royal Palace's internal affairs officer should be the examination and treatment of royalty, including His Majesty.The side room is not royalty, so it's out of the purview of the Home Doctor. "

I've never seen Nasha so rapidly and so hard trying to make her own decision.Lidil seemed to have the same thing, and her eyes were surprisingly open and hardened.

I know why Nasha refuses the doctor.If you are an amateur in medicine, even if you can trick her into being "ill from just undernourishment," it is obvious to a full-time doctor what her condition means.... in fact, an out-of-standard daughter with facial defeat medical knowledge and technology is in the back of the house, but in a distant foreign country where the current location is sandwiched by the sea, it is impossible to go for a medical examination.For Nasha, who wanted to hide her pregnancy, but for Sheila, who wanted to help her, the risk of reality was even higher.

"Master Nasha. I know you're here to take care of the Home Doctor, so why don't we take a break?

"No, Riddle.I'm not going to rest until Mrs. Magnum promises me she won't send a doctor. "

"Master Nasha...."

Questioning continues on the bedside.It is clear that more excitement is not good for Nasha's health.I don't think she'll change her mind after the interrogation, and once we pull up here, we should share and sort things out.

Mrs. Magnum.

Stay close to the bedside without making any footsteps and speak quietly.Signing Mrs. Magnum to "pull once" with just her eyes, Sheila turned towards Lidil.

"Dear Riddle, May I ask Nasha-sama for a moment?

"Master Sheila...?

"--Master Nasha. I'll talk to Mrs. Magnum in the separate room for a moment.As Rose-san said before, it would be easier to have a cool third party in between. "

"But, Master Sheila.I.... "

"You don't want to see a doctor, do you?Nasha's feelings are well understood. "

In response to Sheila's response, Nasha showed clear relief.You thought your friend Sheila would try to convince Madame Magnum.--Half of them are correct.

(At this stage, I can't go to a physician who is a full-time physician....)

Whatever the palatable physician, the Royal Home Medicine Officer is, as his name suggests, a fine officer.Having them see Nasha is tantamount to informing the public about the importance of pregnancy in the side chamber.At this stage, the whole Royal Palace is in a state of great frenzy (panic) rather than a rear palace.

--Along with Mrs. Magnum, who received the signal, Sheila left Nasha's room for a moment and went back to her room.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Magnum.I stopped talking. "

"No, thank you for stopping.I didn't think that Nasha-sama would refuse the doctor so hard, so it became difficult to determine when to withdraw. "

Mrs. Magnum's expression was sharp.Although she had collapsed suddenly, Nasha, who had declared that she would not be seen by a doctor, also felt something.

"It seems that Nasha is determined not to go to see a doctor, no matter what happens."

Yes, Mrs. Magnum.

"... what's wrong?

"From Nasha's appearance, Mrs Magnum could think of anything....."

"Yes... I think it's a gastrointestinal disease because my diet is getting thinner."

It seems that the brilliant Mrs. Magnum soon realized the firmness of Sheila's expression.... and yet, even though she's so smart, she still doesn't seem to think about the possibility of "pregnancy".

For some reason, I'll leave it behind.

"Mrs. Magnum. I need to talk to you."

We have to face it.It is a harsh reality that we have to overcome this dilemma in this backyard without the Red Rose.

To that end, Sheila simply stared straight at Mrs. Magnum.

― ― Mrs. Magnum took Sheila's prepared eyes with a quiet look.

"Yes, let's ask."

"Nasha-sama, how are you?― ― In conclusion, it is not caused by any disease.

"So....?

"There's one more thing for women.There should be a significant change in physical condition, not disease. "

……――

At that moment, Mrs. Magnum's expression was stained with "astonishment".She is a noble lady, and she should rarely put her emotions on her face, but it is unlikely that she will be surprised enough to be able to speak out.... by then, this "truth" is shocking.

"No way...."

After counting a period of silence, Mrs. Magnum spins her words like she moans.

"No way... such a thing..."

"I know how incredible it feels.But this is the truth.It is an undisputed reality that Sola-sama was able to discern and teach me with a keen sense of the signs of "people".― ― There is one more sign of "people" in that room than the number of people staying.One of them is still a sign of immaturity. "

"Sora, my..."

After several shallow breaths, Mrs. Magnum gently shook her neck to the side.

"If Sola-sama says so, is it true?... but I can't believe it. "

"Yes... emotionally, I don't think His Majesty and Nasha-sama will."

"--No, Master Sheila.That's impossible. "

Madame Magnum denies the weakness of her mouth without putting it in her hair.In order to comfort Sheila, the tone of assertion is strong.When she raised her gaze to doubt, Mrs. Magnum continued with her eyes of certainty.

"I am in close contact with Your Majesty as the person in charge of this rear house.Perhaps I am the next most knowledgeable officer of His Majesty's plans, after Commander Swan, who is a close associate.- I swear, Your Majesty will never spend long hours alone in this rear house with a woman other than Sheila. "

"But... if His Majesty had kept it a secret from Mrs. Magnum."

"Your Majesty has been able to visit Sheila's room without anyone ever seeing her, because I was so meticulously adjusting the staffing.There seems to have been a gap in the night-time placement during the former chief of staff, but I have arranged maids and maids so that there are as few blind spots as possible, day and night, so as not to be inconvenient to the side room. Therefore, if His Majesty comes to the rear palace in confidence, he should have come to the audience immediately.If something like that happens, it will be rumored, and there will be reports, but I will not ask about the status quo. "

"... is it unlikely that you two will get along?

"On the contrary, could you say that it is close to zero?--Above all, His Majesty tells me his latest plans every morning, and the more he says, "In light of Sheila's plans, let me know if there is a time that is likely to be met," the more he is rotten to spin his time with Sheila.In accordance with Your Majesty's intention not to disturb Sheila, who works for the Princess of Education, I have refrained from speaking to you until now. "

"Ma, ahh...."

I didn't know that Juke was interacting with Mrs. Magnum without Sheila's knowledge.There were a number of occasions when unexpected breaks coincided with Juke's visits.Perhaps Mrs. Magnum, who knew Juke's plans, had told Juke that she would meet him now.

"I've been watching you very closely, and from what I've seen, it's only a waste of time that makes you suspicious of your affair, as Crester calls it.I swear to you that even if there is a new life in Nasha, I will not refuse to let her father be revealed to you. "

I assure you, there is no lie or shaking in Mrs. Magnum's eyes or her expression.... a young lady like Sheila extrapolates the truth of Mrs. Magnum, the "best lady"; you are also extremely powerful here, but you must believe it.

But if it is...

"... then whose child is in Nasha-sama's belly?

Women alone can't have children, so there must have been a man in Nasha who planted the seeds.The question that arose slipped out of my mouth as it was.Although she did not ask for an answer, Mrs. Magnum shook her head with discipline when asked by Sheila.

"At this stage, I can't predict anything.To make this clear, we need to see a doctor first to find out how long it has been since your pregnancy.... "

"If you're not His Majesty... it's unlikely that you will return to the rear chamber.I don't want to think about it, but during the homecoming... "

"That's... unlikely."

With a low voice, Mrs. Magnum blocked Sheila's reasoning.Turning to Mrs Magnum with her doubts on her face, Mrs Magnum also looked back with a puzzling expression.

"You know Sheila in the side room, but the side room needs to prove that when entering the rear palace, she is the" body where the child can stay ".Specifically, by making sure that the moon thing is coming properly. "

"Ah... that's right."

Needless to say, women visit blood roughly once a month.Every month, when they are ready to grow their babies in the womb and no longer need to pick up seeds, they appear to be flowing out.

In other words, a woman with a "moonlight" will be able to lodge her child.It is almost like building now, but it is a natural task to confirm whether the side rooms given the role actually give birth to children, as long as the "king's successor" is required in this rear palace.

"When you go back to the back of the palace, everyone in the side room who has gone home is making sure that the things of the moon are coming properly.Perhaps Sheila also returned to the rear palace after the moon tour?

"Yes, that's right.... ahh, that's why the time for Dee and her return to the palace has slightly shifted. "

"Thank you on the left.Nasha-sama was one of the side rooms with the slowest return to the palace, but it wasn't unusual from the usual tour, and I didn't feel any signs of fine crafting from the menstrual blood zones I saw.... it's not like there's no way to fake the maid's meridian as her own, but it's a dangerous bridge so bright that the Baron Crockett family itself could be destroyed.Whether Master Nasha and Baron Crockett are willing to cross. "

Until hundreds of years ago, it seemed to be a rough custom for officials in charge of the rear palace to see and confirm the moment when the "moonlight" in the side room was going around, but if such a thing was breathing even in modern times, it would be a big problem.Now, I hear that it is mainly confirmed by confirmation of the "menstrual blood belt" wrapped around the lower part of the body when the "moon thing" comes around, and by the affidavit of the principals of each house that the belt is definitely from the corresponding side chamber, that it is the "body that gives birth".The person's side chamber is involved in the removal of the belt, and then the surroundings can proceed on their own, so the feeling that has been proven is not very welcoming.

"... suppose something happened during the 'Return to Home'.Neither the Baron nor Nasha would want to go back to the Imperial Palace. "

"I agree.When I greeted Nasha who had returned from "going home," she also had a reassuring expression that she was "finally back."--If you were to return to the palace disguised as a menstrual blood vessel or an affidavit, I would be glad to know that you could not talk to me with such generosity. "

"Yes, I've had tea with Riddle since Nasha came back, but I didn't feel any backlash from Nasha at the time that she was plotting against His Majesty or the Imperial Palace."

"If so... it's still highly likely that the 'proof' was authentic.Increasingly, the mystery of when, where, and with whom Nasha was involved is only deepening. "

"That's right...."

Now I know why Mrs. Magnum didn't think of the possibility of "pregnancy" until Sheila told her.If Nasha's "moonlight" had been confirmed, her pregnancy could only have been since then, and if the circulation of blood had settled and she returned to the rear palace as soon as possible, it would have to do with the only King who could not be blamed for entering and leaving, but if the King's alibi was regarded as an iron wall without shaking, theoretically it could only be said as "impossible".

... but... Though theoretically impossible, the fact that there is a new life in Nasha is a certain reality that Sola has perceived.

"--Even if you think about something you don't know, there's nothing you can do.Now, first and foremost, Nasha's life comes first. "

Once she shook her head, Sheila changed her mind.

Mrs. Magnum nods strongly at the words.

"You're right. --First, let's improve Nasha-sama's meal.After checking it out, Nasha-sama seems to have a type of obstruction that makes the taste and smell sharp, so I will talk to the kitchen to change the meal. "

"So, Nasha-sama's circumstances are widely known....."

"The kitchen chief of the Queen's Palace is an ancient ginseng from the time the Empress Wang Taiwan visited Her Highness.He who understands the story has a strong mouth.Rest assured, there will be no leakage from the kitchen to the back of the house. "

"Thank you....!

Madame Magnum's cooperation will solve the most worrying thing.Again, it's important to have more allies.... I'm sorry about Nasha, but I can't bring her a bright future unless we all work together to save her, including the rear and outer palaces.

"Madame Magnum... Doctor's help is definitely necessary to save Nasha.However, there is a risk that Mr Nasha's situation will leak to the outside world. "

"I was also wondering about that.If you will forgive me, I will discuss this matter confidentially with His Excellency the Prime Minister, and if His Excellency the Interior Doctor has a letter, ask him to do so.... but in Nasha-sama's condition, it is extremely likely that she will refuse the medical examination. "

"I'll manage to convince Nasha there.You should come here knowing that you can't deceive Nasha-sama forever.--I will persuade her and ask her what she wants to do in the future. "

"Thank you very much.And then... I want to report to His Majesty and the "named" people. "

"... if possible, I would like to take this opportunity to give Lidil's help.I knew it, but I once again realized that Riddle was a really reliable person.Even if I put aside the truth of "Dear Rose" for the time being, I would like to properly tell Lidil that I am educated as a candidate for the first princess and supported by various people.On top of that, I would like to formally ask for your help with Nasha-sama's case. "

"Yes, I am not alien.Perhaps even the "named" people won't say no. "

As the purpose becomes clear, the heavy air of the past seems to be a lie, and the story keeps coming together.... yes. Now we have to prioritize Nasha and her son over "finding a father."

(It's unlikely that your Majesty will be the father of your child... but it's not zero.)

Tell Juke this, and in case a hundred million people react, Sheila's heart hurts bluntly.... but that's why we can't just run away.

"Well then, Mrs. Magnum.May I take care of contacting the Chancellor and the outer chamber?I am pleased to announce to you, "Named," Ridill, the Queen Dowager of Refania, and Her Majesty. "

"--I understand."

The afternoon light was bright and strong, illuminating Sheila, who vowed to keep walking.
