The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

Sheila visited Riddle's room early in the morning, revealing what had happened so far, and then approached her again.

We discussed the future on the spot and decided to use the afternoon tea time to meet Ridill and the two of them in the name of sympathy, as we had to talk to Nasha first.

I was able to tell the three "named" people (because it was yesterday today, Leticia came secretly) that Lidil was safe to join us, and the slide went smoothly for the first time.

"This letter...."

"For the first time, I wrote to Nasha-sama to tell her that I wanted to ask her about the sympathy... and she replied."

"'I'm feeling better than yesterday and I'm still at peace, so don't worry about it'... you said you don't need a" sympathy "anymore."

"If you decipher the noble rhetoric, it will be."

Shortly before tea time, I met her in Ridill's room, and before she wrote me a letter from Nasha, Sheila's chest was too worried.

Turning to Riddle, she looked sharp.

"What do you think of Sheila?"

"That's right... I don't need sympathy, which means that Nasha doesn't want to see us... I wonder if it's possible that you're being wary of knowing the fact that you're pregnant."

"Or maybe you're trying to avoid us knowing that your child already exists."

"Either way... Nasha-sama is in a mood where even we should know quite well that you can't be trusted.--First of all, we have to start where you believe we are on Nasha's side. "

Now Nasha can't believe her surroundings because she doesn't know how the Emperor will treat the child in her belly.If the side room brightens up that the child was housed, it is inevitable that whoever the father is will be important in view of the current national circumstances.At the moment, whether the father is thought to be the king or discovered to be a man other than the king, he threatens the life of his son.

Under such circumstances, even a friend can't trust the taste.Not to mention that Sheila was a man on the King's side and on the country's side who was favored by the King and became a candidate for the first princess.It is well known to Sheila that Nasha is not a flower garden so unconditionally considered an "ally" of a person who has to obey the decisions of the country, regardless of personal decisions.

(That's why...)

"It is only natural that Nasha-sama's credibility is not gained now.Because we haven't talked about anything important yet.Therefore, we need to speak with Nasha-sama more fully. "

"... you're absolutely right.Fortunately, the letter does not clearly say "Don't come," so if you say "I want to see you at a glance, Nasha, who is healthy," you will be able to meet me. "

"Yeah, let's go, Riddle."

Riddle's room and Nasha's room are not so far apart.--The two went to Nasha's room with a firm determination and slammed the door.

The maid who came out to respond was a young girl who went up to the rear palace at the same time as Marika.Sure, did you say your name was Moko?I hear that Nasha and another senior maid are looking at him as honest hard-workers.

"Lady Sheila, Lady Riddle, welcome."

"Hello Moko, is Nasha here?"

"Yes, come inside. If it seems that you two are together, I will take you with me... may I show you around?"

"Of course."

I was prepared to be pushed back, but he still seems to forgive me enough to meet him for a moment.Step into Nasha's room, feeling relieved.

Sheila and Riddle were greeted by a closed-door Moko, who lowered his head deeply to them.

"Dear Sheila, Dear Riddle, Thank you very much for your time."

"... what happened suddenly?"

"Since last night, Nasha-sama's meal offering has changed dramatically.Nasha-sama has been having a bad time lately. It is not a strong meal with a strong taste and smell, but a refreshing taste and smell that is easy to eat.... Nasha-sama said, "Perhaps you two called the sheriff."

Yeah, yeah.

After somehow nodding with Riddle, Sheila tried not to break her smile and turned back to Moko.

"Let's take a look at yesterday's tea party.I wondered if Nasha-sama's taste preferences had changed.If that's the case, it's basically not acceptable in a tasty royal diet... and I wonder if that's what caused yesterday's anemia. "

"That's right. I remember that it was just a while before the Red Rose was sent to the Stanza Empire... Nasha's condition was not good, and more and more things could not be eaten every day.We are also worried, and we have repeatedly asked you to see a doctor. "I don't want to bother you or worry about you, so I want you to keep quiet."

"It's been so long..."

"Yes, but last night and this morning's meal seemed to fit Nasha's mouth, and she had been eating a generous amount for a long time.I'm really happy, and I have to thank you both at least.... "

Riddle was gentle on the back of a tearful monster.

"Welcome, thank you for all your support, Nasha-sama.With your support, I think Nasha is doing her best. "

"No. If it were true, no matter how upset you were when you saw Nasha's illness, I had to report it to the Chief Magistrate and ask her to see a doctor… 'Don't tell anyone.Don't call the doctor, 'said Nasha repeatedly. She seemed to be too nervous to say anything.--At the end of the day, it seems dangerous not only for Nasha-sama's body, but also for his mind. "

Riddle smiles and strokes her hair.The expression was full of love, and Sheila praised it from the heart as the eldest daughter of a large family, so that the expression of the moco would ease every time she was stroked.

"That's good. If you can't believe the maid who is always close to you, Nasha's heart will truly become isolated and helpless.--No matter what happens next, you will remain the same, with Nasha-sama's heart first. "

"Yes, yes."

Moko, who seemed to have settled down in Lidil's words, lowered her head with a slight agitation.

"I'm sorry. I saw something ugly.--I 'll show you to the back.

"Yeah, thanks."

He nodded with a smile and followed Moko to the back.

It was expected from the expression "back", but it was the bedroom that was guided.

Nasha greets me with a slightly unfortunate smile as she wakes up on the bedside.

"Dear Sheila, Dear Riddle, I'm worried about your busy schedule.We apologize for this unsightly response. "

"Well, Master Nasha, you don't have to worry about that."

"Riddle is right.Instead, are we disturbed by impersonating the rest of the day? "

"No, I just... I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

Nasha leans slightly down, but at the next moment she switches and smiles to heal what she sees with moderation.

"You won't even settle down.Please sit down as we have a chair for you.- Moko, please prepare some tea. "

"Yes, Master Nasha."

Say hello to Pekori, and the moco goes down.It feels cute that I'm not used to it yet.

Nasha lowered her head again as she sat in the chair with the recommendation.

"If it's true, I have to set up a proper seat for the tea party... because I fell unconsciously yesterday, so today, the maids have to be allowed to leave the bed.Please forgive me for the abbreviated hospitality. "

"So, as I've said many times, we don't need that kind of attention.If your loved one isn't feeling well, it's only natural that you should visit him, and it's just common sense to ask him for stylish hospitality. "

"Really... Nasha-sama is a little too careful about her surroundings.Sometimes I have to relax my shoulders and have time to rest. "

"Thank you, Riddle and Sheila... for your kind words."

When Nasha returns to her posture, Moko appears with tea.Even though I wrote to Ridill saying "no sympathy needed", it seems that Nasha, a caring person, is getting ready for customers like this.

Moko, who has prepared tea at the side table, is Nasha asking for it beforehand, or she keeps going down.― ― There were only three Sheila and three cups of hot air left in the room.

Just before the silence got awkward, Riddle had the guts to cut off his mouth.

"Master Nasha, how are you feeling?In the letter I received in the morning, it was spelled that I could spend the same time as usual. "

"I'm really feeling better now.The maids are worried, so they stay on their beds, but it's okay to go out now.In the first place, it's just because I exposed myself yesterday to a pathetic appearance, it's just an everyday indigestion.Until then, if you're told you're not self-managed, it's not like you're being treated like a very sick person. "

"But... are you sure that the food was getting thinner?It's been a long time. "

"... I did something bad to Riviera and Moko.Madame Magnum asked me a lot of questions, just as she wanted me to keep quiet. "

"No, it is only natural that the maid should give priority to the Lord's wishes.They both chose to hold their tongues in preparation.I'm sure Mrs. Magnum will understand that. "

Riviera is the name of another maid who serves Nasha.Like Ray and Marika in Sheila's room, Nasha's room combines veteran Riviera with a rookie to perform side room duties.

Tell Nasha, who cares about the maid, there's no need to worry any more.Seeing Nasha nodding in relief as she understood correctly, Sheila's chest swayed with complexity.

(When you talk about things other than yourself like this.....)

The fact that Nasha doesn't want to be touched on about her malaise is well understood in this short conversation alone.Nasha will not reveal what she has because she is trying to deceive her friends (two) who were present at the scene of loss of consciousness with their pale faces, and it is simply because of inactivity.

What she thinks, what she thinks and how stubborn she becomes.... if you don't know, you'll have to step out of Sheila.

"... Master Nasha"

Sheila quietly opened her mouth as she gazed at Lidil, who was still trying to cut the front line.

"... yes, Master Sheila"

"Would you like to stop it now?― ― To repair the truth.

……

"With Nasha-sama, you should know.I can't stay like this forever.Every day and day that passes, Nasha's body should change.― ― Changes are a natural order because they are nurturing new lives.

The smile completely disappeared from Nasha's expression.Behind her infinite expression, what emotions she has... it's hard to guess to Sheila now.

It was... the quiet sound of breathing that broke the painful silence.

Nasha giggles, mocking herself like she's never seen before.

You've come to be sure already.

"... yes"

"Not only Sheila, but Lidill, Mrs. Magnum... maybe the" named "three, Suzuran-sama, Suzuran-sama?"

"Why..."

"Somehow, I knew that Sheila had come this morning to be close to everyone in the" Named "group, except for Peony, so perhaps..."

"Master Nasha...."

"But I see... if you are already convinced by some means, not at the suspicion stage, you certainly don't need any further repairs."

As Nasha stretches her spine, she turns straight back to Sheila.

I knew Nasha was confronting me straight from the ground up... for some reason, an ominous hunch shook Sheila's feet.

"As Sheila said, there is a new life in my belly now.... we sincerely apologize for the trouble caused by the absence of Red Rose and even the lack of stability in the rear courtyard. "

"Apologies... no matter what the circumstances, the birth of a new life is a celebration.Nasha-sama won't be apologized. "

"As a general rule, even if it's a celebration, the world is not so ignorant as to know what it means to have a 'side room pregnant' in the present backyard.That's exactly what I'm saying.- Not to mention that Sheila is His Majesty's petite princess.If so, you will need to apologize even more. "

Depending on what you hear, it's a word that Nasha can take as if she were communicating with Juke.If Sheila had listened to Juke, she might have become suspicious.

However, Sheila can now say that it is "impossible" for Juke to develop into a relationship with men and women other than Sheila, both in reason and in mood.

Even with a smile, Sheila stared back at Nasha.

"If it is an apology in Nasha's sense, it should be addressed not to me, but to Red Rose, the highest ranking in the current rear palace.Whether I am favored by His Majesty Juke or thankfully allowed to aspire to the throne of the Empress, the current summit of the Queen's Palace is Red Rose-Dear Diana Crester, who is also working on the issues of the Queen's Palace on behalf of the Princess.Certainly Diana left with the other "named" people on her way to the Stanza Empire, but her role and position did not shift to me.I was and am not in a position to receive an apology. "

"... you don't suspect either.Your Majesty and me. "

"I know a little about you and Nasha.Neither of you likes to play with fire, and if you really want to get through to each other, you'll have to throw me away first.... I can only say that if you have the hearts and minds to support me as a weak person. "

"That's right...."

Sheila slightly stepped forward to Nasha, who lay her eyes down quietly.

"Master Nasha, could you tell me what happened?"

"Things...?"

"I want to help you, Nasha.I would like to think about the future, including about my child, so as to be as good as possible for Nasha.... how would you like to know your child's father and what kind of future you want with him? "

For a moment, Nasha opened her eyes wide -

But the next moment.

"The future...?"

Low, dark.

Nasha murmured at once to make the expression steep.

"If you want, will you make it happen?"

Eh...

"For example, if I tell you the future I want.Will Sheila make it happen?--If you wish to destroy a country like this, will you destroy it!? "

Suddenly swallowed by Nasha's fierce rage, Sheila inadvertently lost her words.

Nasha smiled ironically at Sheila.

"Not everyone gets the future they want.No matter how much you wish for it, no matter how much you want it, Sheila understands how desperate it is to have "hope" that is never within your reach. "

Nasha, ma'am

"You don't know, to Sheila.Even though the journey to the future you want is steep, Sheila, who certainly continues on earth, will never understand the lamentation of the fools who blinked in heaven and wanted the stars! "

"Nasha-sama, please calm down...."

And the stretched hand shall be silently paid off.

Usually, Nasha ejected Sheila in front of Hazel's soft glowing eyes, angry and desperate like hot, burning ice.

"You want to help me?Then why did you tell Mrs. Magnum and the "named" people about me sooner than you heard me?--No matter how much you say, after all, Sheila is more important to the backyard country than I am. "

"That's not true!"

"No, Sheila must give the entire kingdom the highest priority, no matter how much she scratched when she was set for the Queen.I don't have any grudges, that's why. "

"Nasha-sama, please talk to me."

"It doesn't make any sense.Because no matter how many words Sheila uses, she doesn't understand me.--For Sheila, who is loved by His Majesty and supported and protected by many dependants, I will never. "

It was too much rejection.Before trying to figure it out, Sheila was more shocked than she was prepared to be repelled from "never knowing."

(Wrong...?)

I still didn't feel this rejection yesterday.What happened between yesterday and today?

(Ah....)

Suddenly, it flashes. - The wrong thing is "order."

Yesterday, when she learned of Nasha's pregnancy, Sheila was concerned about the seriousness of the situation and was anxious that it might be too late to share information with everyone.

But... was it really necessary to inform the "named" three and Refania of the situation yesterday?Whether you're thinking about Nasha's meal or not, you shouldn't have preferred to calm down and talk to Nasha once before you spread the word any further.If Nasha and I haven't talked about pregnancy properly, but we're spreading our private life without knowing where we're keeping it... it's only natural that we can't trust the person we're spreading it to.

(Nasha-sama's anger is real... oh, my God, I did it.)

I can't help arguing that I despised myself for prioritizing the backyard and the country.No matter how you feel, if you look at Sheila's behavior, there's no excuse for being perceived as such.

----I strongly meditated and drove away the regret of attacking.Now, before regret, there is something to do.

"--I 'm sorry, Nasha."

Standing up, lowering your head deeply.

"Due to my insecurity, I felt uncomfortable with Nasha and caused her anxiety and pain.All this was due to my immaturity and shallowness of mind, not to Mrs. Magnum or the "named" trio.Again, I apologize. "

……

"And I'd like to ask you not to get me wrong, but this case started with a mistake in my judgment, and Liddell just went out with me.... there's no way Nasha-sama won't believe me, but please stay down and stay with me as friends as ever. "

I can see Riddle's silent gaze on Sheila.

Nasha's voice came down, much smaller than the whisper, as the heavy silence hung on Sheila with her head down.

"... I understand how Sheila feels.Please leave today. "

"Master Nasha...."

"I'm also going to realize that I'm not cool right now.I don't want you two to see pathetic things anymore, so please. "

"... okay."

Nodding, Sheila turned her back on Nasha.

Only three teacups were watching as Sheila and Riddle left the bedroom with their farewell greetings and sad Hazel's eyes overwhelmed them.
