The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

Instead of an unexpected raid...... I received a request for cooperation from a destination anxious back-run boy, which took a little while, Deanna made it to Shayla's room safely.

I expected it to be rusty and crowded, but unexpectedly the surroundings are idle. Is he in "Red Rose" for a second? I even thought so, but when I knocked on the room, I heard Rita from inside saying yes.

"Rita, it's me."

"Dear Deanna. It was too late."

Saying, Rita immediately opened the door for me. If you step into a small room compared to Deanna's room, there are only the maids with 'Between the Red Roses' and two side rooms for Shayla's friends. Still, with this many people gathered, it felt slightly narrow.

"Thank you Yuri. What about Master Shayla?

"Rita made me some tea...... I calmed down earlier and I'm off"

"... Again, were you disturbed?

Deanna still doesn't know what terrible tricks she's been subjected to. In some cases, it is a matter that may have to be banned from the king's crossing for a while.

"No, mainly you said, 'I'm worried about' Red Rose... '' You didn't seem to be particularly concerned about what you did."

"... so what do you think?" "For once, I asked you what happened..."

It was Shayla's friend who understated it. Deanna looked back.

"May I tell you what it is?

"Yes!

You don't have to be so hard... the only whining is inside. "The Red Rose," he just talks to his opponent, and he has more sights than a regular courtesan.

"... yes, at first, there, too, it was a downward tone, but he just talked, and his hands didn't come out. But..."

"You are the daughter of a dirty house to be named noble... but you have no choice. By way of exception, let us allow ourselves to enter the 'Peony' '

'- No, that kind of care is fine. Something that would be annoying about "The Red Rose," something you can't do "

At once, he said, the 'Peony' was stirred up.

"The 'Peony' folks cursed the... 'Red Rose' thing in too dirty a language, and when Shayla said it back in anger, things like that happened, or..."

"... Master Shayla, you seem to like Deanna a lot."

"... I wonder why"

Didn't His Majesty tell you, 'Don't let Crestor bother you' or something, and I want to ask you accidentally. It's 'Dee' who knows that, so I can't ask him as' Red Rose 'though.

To the silent Deanna, Yuri said.

"When I helped you get dressed, I checked everything. There were no noticeable scratches. Master Shayla herself said she was just pushed down and served tea."

"Does the burn look okay?

"The tea it took seemed cold. I don't have any particular problems."

Yuri does an excellent job. The mere fact that I am in the position of Deputy Secretary of the Samurai, reading my husband's wishes, and the exact job description, can be considered a samurai's appraisal.

"Yes. Although I was in a bit of a hurry because I saw where I was surrounded. Is there anything wrong with Shayla's body?

"That's how I see it."

"Then... even if I were with you any longer, I'd be in the way of Shayla's rest."

Deanna laughed at two of Shayla's friends.

"I'm sorry, but can you two stay by your side for when Master Shayla wakes up?

"Absolutely."

"I'll take care of it"

The two side rooms carefully bow their heads. Laughing back at the meeting, Deanna took her own samurai and left Shayla's room behind.

Dear Deanna,

When she returned to her room, Deanna was called out to Yuri.

"With all due respect, I'd like to say"

"Oh, can I help you?

"Never act alone in the meantime."

Always faceless and calm, accurate in the tasks assigned to the samurai, Deanna trusted the Lord with such a competent Yuri, who subtly stood up Rita, the samurai she brought from the house but did her job as head. Six samurai have been assigned to "Between the Red Roses," with the exception of Yuri, of whom it is Lurie who has no particular gaps in her work, but the other five are also sufficiently good as samurai. It is Yuri who relies on them and asks for instructions for every such thing. You can't be unreliable.

but it was a little surprising that she would say that.

"... you mean to think about my position?

"Regardless. If anything happens to Red Rose right now, you will know what will happen to the rear palace, the royal palace, and hence this country… Deanna."

"... Um, can I have a word with you?

It was Rita who raised her hand in a flash. No way, with a slightly... look, she heard.

"Yuri realizes, possibly, that Deanna is moving for the stability of the posterior palace..."

"It would be weirder not to follow. This is all I serve on your side every day. … With all due respect, I still initially saw you as a terrible person."

Yeah, nodding samurai to Yuri's dialogue. Apparently, the ladies with "Red Roses" weren't "coarse" with all of them.

"I also told Lurie that I don't normally notice...?

"But on second thought, Yuri and everyone were doing better without being more frightened than they had to be."

"… me, then all the ladies assigned to this room, if they kick out the royal palace, they are all those who have no place to go"

Deanna and Rita face to face with the circumstances of the samurai suddenly told. Somewhat, Deanna inquired.

"Is that happening? The first condition to work for the Royal Palace is to have a solid identity… I heard it would be difficult without a home to return to."

"Yes, normally it is. So we've been entrusted with this room, which is a really rare exception."

Yuri quietly, continued ahead.

"In my case, my parents fell ill and died as soon as I raised a young me to the royal palace as a samurai tour. Until a few years ago, my grandparents took on my guardian, but he still died… in a state that equates to no home."

"Well... that's what happened"

"Others, regardless of the circumstances, have no way of life but to bury bones in the royal palace"

So...... and Yuri grins sarcastically. For a constantly faceless girlfriend, rarely.

"If that's the case with us, the Chief Constable seems to have thought of something else to withstand the spitefulness of Countess Crester."

"... an unscrupulous human resource."

"As it turned out, it seemed good to us."

To Deanna and Rita's gavel, Yuri changed her expression slightly. To something soft, warm.

"That's something we can all say. It was only in the beginning that we were frightened, but Deanna is the ideal person to serve. Always calm, without absurding your voice. Nor does your attitude change due to the ups and downs of your emotions. Everyone seemed to think that Deanna wasn't who the world said she was."

"... then maybe everyone was praising me all kinds, not to undermine my mood..."

"You meant it, didn't you?

"Yes, me too"

Of course, I thought sincerely, and the samurai nodded. To Deanna, who was mistaken and cared for on her own, is exactly the fact of a blue sky thunderbolt.

"... on second thought, it's unnatural for all of you who don't usually talk about anything small or extra, to praise Deanna only if you do it..."

"Nevertheless, it is today that I have learned that everyone thinks of Deanna as the one who sincerely wants to serve her."

Yuri looked around at the samurai.

"I saw how Deanna was trying to help Lady Shayla Carrerdo, and the anticipation changed with certainty in me. I asked everyone, and they said the same thing."

"That, to be honest, would be greatly appreciated. But is everyone okay with serving as a sideroom leader who never gets favors from His Majesty?

It is very easy and helpful that you do not need to repair your inner parts to the samurai who always refrain from taking sides. Not to mention Yuri, even in the position of Undersecretary of the Samurai. Being on my side is very comforting.

But then, isn't it too much that Deanna has all the advantages? In this successor palace, Deanna will probably not receive the king's favor. In the rear house, where the birth of the samurai is determined by the Lord's substantial status, there is nothing that Deanna can give the samurai.

Yuri nodded softly at Deanna's question like that.

"Others want status, honor, balls, etc., but for those of us who have no other place than the royal palace, it's all unnecessary. Instead, I want to serve the Lord, whom I admire wholeheartedly, and to do my part."

"I feel sorry for you... but I'm so glad you guys want to serve me. Because I was always misunderstood."

"... if you're in the outside world, you don't seem to have eyes on people for a long time"

"I wonder if the eyes of the ladies rubbed in the royal palace are more amazing than that"

"Or you can't tell the truth about the Crestors without challenging them in the leeward formation,"

... Indeed, even in the Crestor family mansion, many servants who realize the truth say, 'If you miss Coco, there will be no next!' and desperate from the bottom of my heart. Even for the royal palace maids, if there is no place to go but the royal palace, serving 'Countess Crester' is in a sense a cliff. Let's just say it's a really reasonable representation of the leeward formation.

"... Rita, did anyone say that?

"Yes, while the decree mourns." I see the truth about your husband even if you don't become a leeward formation, is there anyone like that! 'and "

"I can tell you, I'm also curious.... Sadly, there are also many things in the royal palace samurai. Rumor talks all four or six times without work, hard at dressing oneself, nosing the identity of my parents and selling the charm to the stronger ones. It would be impossible for such a person to spot Deanna."

"... what, its useless"

"Yeah, but that kind of samurai seems to take better from Peony."

First of all, if you're a good samurai selling charm, you can also snort that young lady like you.

"... who does the work of a samurai?

"The 'Between Peony' samurai is three times as good as the 'Red Rose'. Some of them are working discreetly and even hard."

"Three times our!? You won't need it, not so much!

"If you don't have enough people, you think you've got more and more? Thanks to this, a sufficient number of samurai did not reach all the side rooms and the head of the samurai held her head.... Speaking of which, the lady at Shayla's doesn't seem to be of very good quality either."

You remembered while we were talking, Yuri's expression gets rude.

"I never followed Master Shayla, and I didn't even wait in your room. Even if Master Shayla returns, she won't even show up. You must be lazy somewhere."

"... the quality of the samurai wasn't exactly investigated. If there's a problem with Shayla's maid, we have to do something about it."

"If necessary, we will gather the ladies of caution."

Samurais nodding at Yuri's suggestion at the same time. Luli is looking at his people and nicoting them. Apparently, she could have anticipated this development in the middle of nowhere.

- It's too much to ask. Deanna and Rita felt that way about the samurai who showed their true nature.
