The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl
gossip part 1-2 - at the tavern
The Krester family, misunderstood by the majority of the nobles, but rarely do some know their true nature.
And surprisingly, it can be a man of high standing in the royal palace.
"Yo, Ed. You're early this year."
"Hmm?... oh my god, Al"
On the evening of the day he discussed his upcoming response with Dualis, Edward was tipping a glass at a pub at the end of the venue, in the lower town of Wang Du. The outfit is as elegant as the townspeople there, and the atmosphere has changed dramatically. There will be no one who can tell by looking at him now that he is a descendant of the aristocracy.
Speaking to Edward like that, he was a young man with messy clothes, blurred hair, and lived that day on a daily basis, like a rough guy here. However, the movement is agile and free of gaps. If you see what you see, you can easily imagine that it is quite hands-on.
Al, the man, called, lowered his hips next to Edward with a trick he was used to and ordered kizume liquor.
"Whoa, is that good? What happened to your job?"
"I'm done for the day. Let him breathe."
"Don't be silly. You're not taking a break from your work."
That being said, Edward pours a bottle of liquor into a man's glass. Because I know full well that it's not such a cute balls that you get drunk and can't work.
"Absolutely, it's a thought to be great, too. I'm going for a drink. I don't think so."
"That was a disaster. I'm glad I'm the son of a shitty lord who makes this one."
"'Shitty One Lords' Hey...... Which Mouth Says."
The man laughed with his nose and stirred up the glass. Edward asks as he pours another booze into the glass that empties in an instant.
"Forget the joke, are you sure it's good? Your Majesty's escort is selling oil here."
"Besides me, there are other escort knights. If you're going to the rear palace, you can't just walk away from me."
"What, you're not going today?
"... that's a hooked way of saying it. It sounds like His Majesty crosses the rear palace every day.
Edward grinned sarcastically, yes.
"Let's not hide anything in this place. Alford Swan, Commander of the Guardian Knights?
"... as usual, you're scared. You're a loser."
Behind words, his expression is just a bitter laugh. Probably, I was expecting.
Alford Swann, the second son of the Earl of Swann family, whose sword talent stood out more than at an early age. He is one of the young elites, who runs the streets of his birth with one sword arm and is young enough to be entrusted with the command of the Knights of Guardianship of the present King.
... What a strange scene it seems that he is meeting Edward, who is dressed as a rough guy at the end of the day and is also coming down with patience. But between us, this was normal.
"After all, did the Crestors come out of the territory earlier than usual because of Miss Deanna?
"It would be obvious. I don't even want to go in. Can you leave my sister alone in a bad fight?"
"Bad fight, hey...... Rumor has it, Miss Deanna seems to be singing about her backyard life?
"... you didn't mean it, did you?
At the same time as the words worked a genuine stare, Alford instantly raised his hands.
"Don't be angry. I know. It was an unexpected streak for Miss Deanna."
"Ah. The very fact that Deanna had a life in the womb in the first place is unexpected. Deanna's reputation in the social world sucks, no matter how much her father's surroundings aroused. I don't know what to say, but you're way out of your liking, aren't you?
"Boy... Your Majesty is your age for once, isn't he?
"That's enough for His Majesty, the boy who grew up muddy and spoiled in the greenhouse. I don't think you grew up in the Royal Palace."
"... well, I can't deny it"
Edward's words, which also seemed disrespectful, were, however, uttering the truth as Zubari. If you say the same thing in the royal palace, you go to the inn without question, but here they are just 'Ed' and 'Al'. The implicit understanding is that there is no hiding or pre-construction.
"Her Majesty's mother is from the prestigious Mondria family. And I grew up with a bunch of conservatives messing with me. Thoughts tend to be skewed."
"Your predecessors have tried to correct the bias as we entrust you with the stewardship one by one from now on?
"Ah. That arrow tip, it's a sudden collapse. His Royal Highness Juke became king in the fall... but the element of anxiety was his reign in the pile."
"The biggest element of anxiety is that he doesn't understand his immaturity."
To be clear, Alford just has to smile bitterly. Not just Edward, but the Crestor people are the owners of sharp observation and insight that discerns others. So Edward's ratings have been targeted everywhere, and he doesn't allow objections.
"Deanna generally agrees. Politics isn't a mon that only a sense of justice is good. Even if it's justice, it's solitary."
"You can tell me everything, but don't tell me too much. He's also noticed a little bit, trying to correct the distortion."
"- Heh? As Deanna sees it, is it a romantic effect?
Cut all the way in. Alford scratched his head.
"If you get dignified access to information that only some of the officials know, you won't want to question security in the rear palace."
"There are no deficiencies in the rear palace security. Until Deanna and Rita get there, it's where even our brilliant 'darkness' bothered us."
"By letting Miss Deanna in, we're leaking information..."
"What now. I don't know anything else, and I'm not gonna let you tell me you didn't expect it."
"Ha, well. Put in the Crestor family's direct line. You've already collapsed into information from the beginning."
Edward looked closely at Alford.
"Until you acquiesced in the leak of information, you wanted Deanna in the back house?
"His Majesty disagreed greatly, though." Putting such a poisonous woman in 'Red Rose', etc.! '"
"Assholes who can't understand Deanna's charm should be broken hearts or do anything to make her irreversible"
"Hey, take a look at Cisco, too."
Lightly scratched, Alford continued.
"But realistically, even without the pressure from the guys surrounding Lord Dualis on their own, the name of Lord Deanna should have been up for 'Red Rose' shortly. When we think about the family and the actual status, the house that stands on the Land Rose is not"
"... I knew you meant that"
Deanna was put in the 'Red Rose' in order to maintain the balance of forces within the rear palace. That's what I thought. I hear Dualis and Edward were right.
"I'm sure it was easier to get Lord Deanna into the 'Red Rose' because of the backing around Lord Dualis. It's easier to explain to His Majesty."
"Can't resist the pressure...... you think? That boy, figure out what's going on with his rear palace... can't you do that?"
"On the contrary, until recently, I completely ignored the existence of the rear house."
"That's why you rubbed your mind around me. Force strife within the House of Lords also greatly influences the politics of the table. It's not nice to lose your balance."
Deanna said - that the Crestors were promoted to mediators. to the hardest position.
"Whoever is to be put into the rear palace is discussed and decided by the heavy ministers who took a look at the time of year and initiated it. His Majesty will give his opinion once and for all, but it is good to think that the final decision rests with the heavy ministers"
"... hey, really?"
"The problem is that most of the heavy ministers who decided to enter Miss Deanna's rear palace don't know the truth about the 'Krester family'."
Edward's brow moved pickly. Stop the hand that was holding the glass and shoot Alford through with a deep eye.
"Is that good? Tell 'me' that much."
"Hiding is nashi, what is it? And I don't have a problem with that. I've never seen a" nobleman "more noble than the Crestors."
"What are you talking about?"
Edward flushed lightly, but I understood what he was saying.
Noble things, devotion to the country, devotion to the people, to live for the happiness of the people.
It's been a long time since they said that in the Kingdom of Elland, but there are very few houses that do. But Edward could be sure that our home was one of the few 'nobles'. That's probably what Alford is saying, too.
Even if information passes to the Crestor family, it will not be a crisis in the kingdom. Because I know it, he's so messed up.
"Well... leave the thoughts of the heavy ministers alone. Lord Deanna did better than I expected."
"Deanna didn't do it herself. It's an inevitable stream as soon as she enters the Red Rose."
"If you're still an incompetent daughter, you'd be looking to expand your forces, attacking your opponent, or, conversely, confusing yourself more without overwhelming your insides, wouldn't you? Even if" Tables "doesn't say anything, he's perceiving the situation and behaving at his best. That's not what you can do."
"Deanna deserves that. My aunt and my mother have been perfectly instructed to swim in court."
Edward snorts proudly. It's a different matter of trusting my sister and worrying about her.
"Oh, you were so right to let Miss Deanna in. Even the 'pet princess issue' that no one could have predicted, thanks to her, is gaining nothing"
"... Baron Shayla Carrerdo, isn't it? What kind of princess is she?
"That's unusual. I can't believe you don't remember the noble lady."
"I can only remember that she was a daughter with an impressive pale blonde hair, who felt like an adult. Number one, the only lady I remember is a man of caution."
"Well said, young lady, you know the whole house."
Edward laughed with his nose at Alford's teasing tone. If you continue to be introduced in vain every social season, you will remember Edward, who originally slipped through and has excellent memory, even if you don't want to remember. That's all.
"You're just talking about this face being suitable for gathering information about female opponents. Don't distract me from that, Miss Shayla."
"Hmm. What do you want to know?
"You're a crowd. I know the general background."
"... at all. Sometimes the Crestors really scare me."
It is an Alford whose tone and content do not match perfectly. Edward didn't fit in and encouraged ahead with just his gaze.
"Miss Shayla. In a nutshell, Your Majesty's preference, is that Tokoro in the middle?"
"I don't know what your preferences are."
"... yeah, right. I know."
Well, I haven't talked that close either, but I prefaced, and Alford talked about Shayla.
"The core is strong, with a delicate, flaky, and likely to break if blown. That's what a lady looks like."
"... Miss Temple who seems to like you"
"Well... na"
Edward has no feelings, no lid. Alford snorted. Alford, too.
"Boy, you're floating in love for the first time, aren't you?
"Ah. Miss Shayla's guard is stiff that it would be the king's temporary whim"
"To distract such a warrant lady, go to the rear palace day after day...? Your Majesty, you can't act with an understanding of what's going on."
"I haven't. I don't even know what's going on in the back house in the first place. I managed to get through from behind so Miss Shayla wouldn't get jealous from the other side rooms."
There were just rumors with Miss Deanna, so if there was just His Majesty in the rear palace, it wouldn't have been much noise, Alford summed it up and stirred up the liquor.
"You're in trouble, too, boy, with His Majesty's amulet."
"For once, there are attractions. I don't go out with total incompetence. It's a waste of time."
"... if that's what you say, let's just follow through."
"It would help if you did. - But thank you to Miss Deanna."
Alford squeaks.
"Suddenly he tells me to go into the rear palace, and if I go in, he gives me a 'red rose', and from His Majesty he treats me cold, yet relentlessly involved in a dispute between the side chambers. Besides, His Majesty at heart came obsessed with the low-status side room without even looking at the situation. She understands the whole situation and swallows the thoughts of the 'table', even though it would normally be a pretty or throwing mon, on top of which she perfectly maintains the balance within the rear palace. Clearly, without Miss Deanna, it would have been rough in the rear palace soon and the politics of the 'table' would have gone crazy too"
"I think it's troublesome, Deanna too. I just don't suppose I can throw it out any more than I've been put in that position. If I hit badly, I don't know how far the aftermath will go. His nerves aren't so nasty in that situation."
"Absolutely, you're a tough guy. Normally, it's for the Queen."
"Fool or you. You can't do a pretty little sister to a little girl like that."
Edward said it out loud. For once Deanna is Juke's sideroom and is in the same condition as she went to her daughter-in-law, but such recognition is not in Edward's.
"By and large, I don't care how good Deanna is and how much you say you're able to cut up the rear palace... there's a limit to it. You can't hide Miss Shayla forever, even though Her Majesty hasn't been able to weigh himself down."
"Well... I'll be by your side there, and I'll figure something out. You'll be fine until the ball for once."
"... if the situation were to move, would it still be at a night club"
The opening of the social season is the Royal Palace Ball held in the name of the King. It is a vic event, in which no one in the aristocracy of the whole country is left uninvited.
This year is particularly gorgeous. Whatever it is, it is the first year of the opening of the rear palace. I guess the side rooms will all be decorated and coloring the royal palace.
"His Majesty's partner was to be served by the most stately side chamber in the rear palace. The point is," Red Rose. "
"Deanna... Also, the hard-won role."
"But Your Majesty is desperate to get close to Miss Shayla somehow. It is extremely likely that something will move out at the night club"
"... let yourself be weighed"
"Do good, but don't expect me"
If you interpret Alford's words correctly, 'I can't'. Edward suppressed his head.
"... for now, report to my sister"
"Do that. Unfortunately, Miss Deanna is the only one I can count on."
"I really feel sorry for you. Don't make us work too hard."
With his head bowed to Edward, who exhaled deeply, Alford headed behind the counter to order Edward's favorite liquor.
