The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

The work of Lurie and her friends was quick and assured. Before noon, three "named" acknowledgements were attached, and in the afternoon tea hour, they were to gather in the east courtyard, unknowingly. As Deanna's name lay low, she whispered and made her nod, 'If you're worried about the current situation in the rear palace, you'd love to meet her and talk to her,' their arms are considerable.

Deanna decided to go on the spot, accompanied by Rita and Lurie, a little early and prepare her tea. It's a courtyard that's no longer in use, and Rita borrows the samurai's attire that it would be better to clean it lightly.

"It seems that Tokoro is Deanna-like to think about the samurai's aptitude, not just its practicality, so as not to stand out."

"If you're inconspicuous and practical, aren't you two birds with one stone?

"Before that, is Deanna already making up her mind to clean and prepare tea?

You don't normally do that, do you? And a grumpy lurie. While the three of us are headed to the Kosokoso courtyard, they're just not convinced there.

"Oh, you can't keep your feet together, can you? We haven't had enough people for a long time, and it's normal to make our own tea, and I did my own cleaning where I'm concerned."

"You're particularly good at cleaning gardens, Deanna."

"Because you like your mother."

"... no, not that kind of problem. By and large, what is it that the Count family is understaffed?

"Do you think people want to serve the 'Badly Outrageous Crestor Family'?

To Deanna's inquiry, Lurie silenced wisely.

"The people who come to us are probably serving us for generations, or they have nowhere else to go and drifted down with their feathers chopped, because that's the choice. There won't be any more people."

"Anyone who comes here occasionally without knowing anything is either tail-wrapped and fleeing during the interview phase, or gutted and worked hard for a month to have it or not"

"When someone comes along who knows nothing, you ladies will be making a bet. How hard people can work next time..."

"I'm sure you'll notice the truth about your husband! You always expect me to feel sorry for you."

"... it was. You've got enough for a big hole."

Lurie, who had heard Deanna and Rita's, funny and utterly uninteresting story on the edge, exhaled, ha.

"... I kind of feel like the impression of the 'Crestor family' making a scene in the alley would crash"

"It's already broken, isn't it? We are too different from the rumors."

"It only fits the earliest name and title, right?"

"I wish there were more people like Lurie who would take a good look at me"

"... Isn't it hard"

The gavel that shot Lurie's target. Deanna nodded, grinning barely.

"I don't mind anything. Regardless of the lack of manpower, even a small number of people are not crippled. There are a few of us who will take a good look."

"... it would be nice if the 'named' people joined it"

"Really."

If you don't, I'm in serious trouble.

The hallway is broken, and the destination is a desolate courtyard. Once a beautiful place, the place is now only marginally left with a lonely table and chairs. Grass trees thrive and there's even an atmosphere where something seems to come out.

"In the meantime, shall we have a tea party? Rita, Lurie, please."

"Yes."

"I'm in awe"

In Deanna's decree, the three moved in unison.

§ § § § §

If three people, Lurie, who has worked for the Royal Palace for a long time, Rita, who has been a samurai since she was attentive, and Deanna, who was counted as a helper for every incident due to lack of manpower, join forces, they will be able to see it for the first time, even in scattered and desolate places. To the extent that the Haunted Mansion becomes just an old abandoned house, progress is progress.

Cross over the old table, put a cushion on the chair to make the seating feel better, arrange a tea party set, well it doesn't even look like a stylish space there. I don't have time to prune the snails around me or anything, I just pulled out the weeds around the table, it's just a hidden atmosphere.

When the three of them also breathed constantly. The sun tilted slightly and it was time for tea in the afternoon.

"Over here... so it fits?

"It should...... Lurie, are you there?

"I'm here. Here you go, watch your step."

It was Leticia who showed up first. I'm just the daughter of a merchant, and it's a great five minutes ago gathering.

"Did you call us?

"Yes, I'd rather serve you, to be exact."

"Oh. Which one of you is that?

"When you're ready, I'd like to introduce you."

Leticia is looking around for a moment as she gets to her seat. I probably didn't know until today, such as there's a place like this in the backyard.

Leticia seems a little nervous. If you're alone in a place like this, that might be normal too.

But Leticia's anxiety didn't last long.

"Oh, Lady Leticia"

"Dear Yolanda, Dear Rhea! Both of you over here?

"We are invited here today by the three parties: Sleeping Lotus, Suzuran, and Suzuran. Come on, come here."

Guided by Luli, newly arrived Rya and Yolanda also take their seats. Where the "named" three were all together, Lurie bowed her head in the perfect act.

"I apologize on multiple occasions for inviting 'named' people in such an informal manner. And, thank you very much. Thank you very much for coming down."

"Did you call us?

"No, my lord"

Lurie smiled.

"The Lord asked me, and I asked my friends. He wants to talk to you in secret."

"- Yes. That's what I asked Luli to do. I know you're offended, but don't blame her. Do it. If you blame me, blame me.

With that said, Deanna moved forward and removed the hat that was on her head. The hair that was wrapped around him unwrapped, and the bright blonde hair flowing through his back in his eyes.

"Named," the three of them breathed in unison.

"D, Dear Deanna......?

"Yes, I am truly sorry for this call. I didn't want anyone else to know that I met you."

"… We were determined to meet when we heard that you were worried about the current situation in the rear palace. That's... Deanna, is that you?

"Yes."

Deanna nodded clearly.

"I also don't think it's impossible for you all to believe it. From the edge, I only appear to be competing with the" Peony "when I enter the rear palace and gather up the" Red Roses ". But… this is also necessary to maintain the balance of the posterior palace"

"Not to beat the 'Peony', but not to lose...... You dare to be in that position so that 'conservatives' and 'innovators' can maintain equilibrium?

"Exactly. Originally, I became the 'Red Rose' headed by the side chamber, although I was the Countess, because the position of the 'Innovators' in the rear palace had become too weak."

"So Deanna, from the beginning, was sent in to discipline the troubles in the palace?

It was Rhea who poked at the sharp spot. Deanna smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Various thoughts seem to have worked, but some of the heavy ministers seem to have expected it"

"So, but Deanna...... Deanna said she wanted to enter the rear palace from the beginning - the seat of Her Majesty's rightful queen. That seems to be the kind of rumor the Crestors are finally getting into central control, isn't it?

"Oh, because that rumor is bullshit. Rather, rumors involving the Krester family are 80% liars. Don't be serious."

"... what do you mean?

"Dear Leticia, Deanna was different from the rumors, wasn't she?

It was Yolanda who smiled and joined the conversation. A gentle and serene beauty, she dwells in an interesting light in her eyes, though.

"That's... yeah, I thought. I just talked to you a few times at a tea party, and you said there was no such thing as radical or outrageous as rumours."

"Even if you're doing terrible things in the back, what a place in the Back Palace, it'll be a rumor soon. But the only rumors about Deanna are that His Majesty adores The Red Rose and what Leticia just said. Deanna, there are no rumors that she did something."

"Yes...... is that, I mean?

"This is just a guess between me and Rya... Dear Deanna, and the Crestors, it's just a rumor that you're a bad person. Isn't the truth something else?

To Yolanda's guess, Deanna, Rita, and then Lurie slapped her hands on the pussy.

"It's wonderful, Master Yolanda. Since when did they notice?

"From the time Deanna made her debut in the social world, I thought something was wrong. Deanna didn't seem as obsessed with men's fishing as she was rumored."

"Instead, you lightly embellished those with no contents to come by. There were some weird rumors that it was targeting the big guy again."

"Me and Rhea, it's just called" The Flowers of Society, "and I've stepped on the number of places. If you're really a big shot courtier, your eyes are more glitzy. As much as Deanna doesn't, I understand."

So, as we continued to observe, we came to that assumption. The two men, said to be "Flowers of the Social World," were the owners of a sober observational eye that was not ashamed of its name.

Deanna just realized that Rhea and Yolanda weren't so afraid of themselves. Of all the young ladies who make themselves far-fetched, these two normally greet me and talk to the public if I see them. Sometimes older than Deanna, and even if the two of you were kind enough to feel the truth about the 'Crestors', I wouldn't feel so surprised. Though I think it would be appreciated.

"Don't let my face fool you and look at me like that... I'm glad"

"Deanna is a misleading face, isn't she? Your father, your brother."

"That's the family line. I've already given up."

"... I mean, rumors that the 'Crestors' are doing bad things behind them, or involved in most of the kingdom's evil deeds, are all lies, what!?

"Dear Leticia, think calmly. Who likes to do something as precarious and troublesome as a beating like that?

If you look him in the eye and ask him seriously, Leticia weakened as a snare.

"... I wonder what your father's efforts were..."

"Oh, they were doing something?

"Scratch the money story from the side, because there were rumors. I was desperate to avoid new crops, special cultivation practices, etc."

"It's useless to scratch crops in someone else's territory with completely different climatic terroirs. We're not hippos enough to spend time on things that don't work out."

"Thank you, Lady Leticia."

Looks like Negiri's words, Yolanda is perfectly amused. Leticia nodded somehow, looking at Deanna.

"So you're saying that the Crestors didn't want Deanna to enter the rear palace?

"Instead of wanting to, my mother was trying to crack my father's head open with a vase when he brought back the circular."

"Oh dear Elizabeth...... Even if you do that, the circular won't be revoked."

"It's not something you can avoid with one of our necks."

Yolanda and Rya's thoughts are the most but at the same time somewhere uneven. Leticia looked subtle but didn't go in there and continued ahead.

"Deanna too, the seat of the righteous queen..."

"It's a wish. It's troublesome, and you won't forgive me for being the first wife you don't even love."

"Oh, you don't like His Majesty?

"At the night club, it looked good, didn't it?

To Rhea and Yolanda, this is the time to make a clear declaration.

"That was simply that His Majesty, who did not listen to me in the first meeting, was able to listen to people a little bit, and I was just smiling. There is no way to love His Majesty as a man, even if he is happy to grow up."

"Right. Sure, Your Majesty, he's a good man if he just looks like one. Because you're not caring enough."

"Oh Yolanda, I wish I was clearer. I have no delicacy, no compassion. I can't read the back, I run solo...... I don't think you're a good man."

"Rhea...... I'm overstating how unpopular it is."

I mean, you guys, it's a conversation I think I'm going to hear the scratch about even if it's your sire's side room for once... Deanna relieved herself of the opinion, and the commonsense courtesan Leticia, her grin attracted her to less of an argument.

"Dear Rhea, Yolanda...... You shouldn't. No matter how true, there are good and bad things to say."

"Dear Leticia, are you going to follow that? It hasn't... or in a way, it's most rude, right?

"Uh... well, is that right?

... apparently Leticia is a natural daughter of common sense. Having obtained new person information, Deanna decided to return to the story.

"- That's why my role in the House of Lords is only an adjustment of the balance of forces. Because I would rather not need His Majesty's mercy or the seat of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Talk, I understand very well....... but you didn't do this kind of roundabout on purpose just to declare it, did you?

"Yes, Master Rhea. For all of you - the three of you who received" Between Names, "I want you to help me with this."

Rhea, Yolanda, and Leticia have returned their gaze, which houses a strong light. That's the lady who was given 'named', the liver of the story, she could have predicted.

"Cooperation, is it? How exactly?

"Are you saying you want to be in the 'Red Roses'?

"No, I don't have a problem with you coming in. Because the forces will collapse dramatically. As you are now, please keep your attitude clear of 'Red Rose' or 'Peony'. And in the back, I want you to explore people in the side room who don't want this kind of factional feud, and let me know."

"That, regardless of faction?

"Yes, there must be some people in" Peony "or" Red Rose "who don't really want to fight, but don't resist the currents around them and probably belong to a faction. At least I know."

Deanna and I didn't just live in a blur. Thanks also to the information of the "Dark", the side chambers of the "Red Roses", who do not wish to contend, have grasped it once and for all. Originally, the "Red Roses" were only a bunch of anger exploded that was scorned by the "Peony," and there are surprisingly many young ladies who don't usually like to fight.

"If you can gather up a lady with that idea, we can protect them as soon as possible when the rear palace is rough."

"... you have the certainty that it will be rough?

"I'd like to postpone it as much as I can, but I'll be sure to come"

"That's because at the night club last night, His Majesty was watching one of your young ladies with a different eye?

No one here is surprised by Yolanda's words. That means that Shayla is known, at least to those who are here.

I can't help but hide it. Deanna was clean and nodded.

"- Baroness Shayla Carrerdo. He's one of the side rooms, which seems to tease the emerging nobleman's house. So far, I haven't been in" The Red Rose. "

"... that's nasty. I don't even think His Majesty can bear to see you at the night club."

"Without the protection of the faction, you were secretly loved by His Majesty, and that came to light last night, so... Once Master Liliane finds out, we will begin a fierce exclusion campaign."

"Master Shayla is an emerging nobleman. As for the 'Red Roses', I have to move to protect them..."

"There are radical men among the 'Red Roses' who believe that His Majesty's love should be poured on me, the culminating of the faction. We keep them from going wild, so there's a chance this one will be full of them."

"... then you'll need a third covert force, not a 'red rose' or a 'peony'"

Dada has not been given 'Between Names'. The conversation between the four of us is really smooth. Just because I know the main points, the meaning of putting them in my mouth and confirming them is stronger.

"A third force must not appear on the table. It becomes a quarrel between the triplets, and increasingly the rear palace is confused. Only, in the back. Forces that do not want strife, protect Master Shayla, and maintain order in the rear palace. I'd like to ask you all a favor."

Looking in turn at the 'named' three eyes, Deanna bowed her head deeply. There's a slight, uh, sign of a laugh.

Of course, Deanna.

"If we are to maintain the balance of the rear palace and sink the dispute. We can't just not cooperate."

"Deanna, one of you doesn't need to be carried. Please, let us help you too."

If I looked up, I would smile reliably there, there were three ladies.

"Thank you......! If it's true, there are quite a few problems that His Majesty can solve in a word."

"It would be futile to expect nothing more from His Majesty. The palace is a woman's garden. We have to do something about this place."

"Yes, Deanna!

"Let's join forces and turn the rear palace well"

Motivated, side chambers. Yolanda leaned her neck.

"Speaking of which, Dear Sheila, Your Ladyship...... What does she think of His Majesty?

"Right. If you dislike your majesty, we must protect you from him."

"No, I don't think so. Just..."

'I don't know. What is Your Majesty thinking?'

Shayla's voice comes back to life when I heard her in the hallway on the night of the night club.

'I think you're thoughtful and kind. His Majesty, seeing that I was frightened, was not untied of my clothes. You said, "Wait till Shayla feels that way."

Oh, whose hanashi is that? I thought it was just a secret here.

'Even though I do not perform the duties of a side chamber, Your Majesty, come as every day... be gentle. I knew it was just a whim.'

That, rather than being gentle, I didn't know how to deal with it simply bewildered by my first love, and I didn't know what to expect from just being heckled as a result... not to mention flowers.

'I don't know what your majesty is thinking anymore. Why did you talk to me in such a conspicuous position? "Don't let Crestor distract you" and so on... Your Majesty naturally thinks of' The Red Rose '... that I'm just a whim, a temporary leisure break? So I was wondering if you were bothered to talk to' Red Rose '...'

Aren't you overthinking it? and slowly stopped, Deanna was a storm inside, a scratch at that time.

It's okay, because I haven't thought about it. I don't move and weigh myself as much as I can think of, because I am His Majesty's vegetable.

"Don't let Crestor bother you"? That's what I said, human...... now I have to change my voice, I can't talk to Master Shayla!

And Master Shayla, think too much, think too much. Because His Majesty is a man who can only say things without a back or a table. Because, as the word goes, I assumed the Crestors were dangerous and I just wanted to advise them.

I'm also sorry for "The Red Rose"...... I don't know how His Majesty feels or how I feel about myself anymore. '

In the meantime, I'm totally sorry.

Put that on the inside, Deanna has some advice, 'Why don't you just stop thinking and shelf it and think about it again when you've settled down?' I suggested.

It was tough...... Deanna said she was smudging and thinking back.

"It's just... what?

"You know something?

The three of them were waiting for Deanna to continue.

"Oh, excuse me. That's right. I don't hate it, but do you feel like there are too many anxiety elements to like to step out..."

"Heh... Well, for now, follow up."

"One of these days, Your Majesty will make an asshole of himself, and I have a feeling he's going to hate me decisively,"

"You made it clear, Deanna too."

A soothing laugh sounded. Although the content you are laughing at is content.

Tea parties in hidden places were held frequently at the border and exchanges of information began.
