The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

I thought it would be hard to always call the perfect Rita in secret to Deanna. Unsurprisingly, my men immediately returned with a message from Rita in their possession.

"I'll be waiting at my usual place"

As soon as his men, who could only carry one word, returned, Alford demanded 'Never let His Majesty out of his room' and went 'to the usual' - just beyond the fence surrounding the backyard of the rear palace, to one of the 'blind spots' that was covered with prosperity and hard to see from the guards.

It's not like the rear house security is ever too thin. But there's no choice but to be able to do one or two blind spots in a place protected by a man's hand. If Alford's position is that if we find a blind spot, we may have to make an effort to fill it as much as possible, but even if we are using the normal route to interact with the rear palace side in this current situation, where the rear palace is pressing, we will overwhelmingly lack the information and speed we want. Alford kept his blind spot intact in order to be more realistic than before the building and stay in touch with the 'Red Rose' side as soon as possible, mainly.

Try "As Usual," and as the message goes, Rita was already there. He scowls his soft golden tea hair and stares somewhere far away. It's her habit when she's thinking.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

"No, it's okay"

But it's also between bundles. If Alford speaks, Rita quickly regains consciousness and returns to the face of a competent samurai. He approached Rita, stretching his spine.

"Keep the call. What, was it good? You don't have to be near Lord Deanna."

"Right...... Honestly, it may not be very good though."

Rita's in a bad mood. The face peeking unexpectedly is very corrupt.

"But it's more of a problem to be beside Deanna with a face like this. Chill your head a little... I thought you might need some time to calm down."

"... what the hell happened?

"I can't talk about that on my own. With Deanna's forgiveness, I'll explain."

"Right."

Rita said this, but at the end of the day, I know she won't break her mouth when she dies. Rita's pursuit of displeasure gave up there, and Alford decided to cut to the point.

"By the way, Rita, I heard Miss Shayla was taken to the side room of the Peony."

"- Again, was it about that? You're a lot quicker."

"The samurai with Miss Shayla have been using the emergency route to bring it up."

"... does that mean even in His Majesty's ear?

"Oh, it's in there"

Rita sighed without even hiding.

"You've got a problem. Even the lady with Shayla doesn't seem to be doing much extra work."

"... Does that mean that the information is true?

"The facts are facts, but they've all been resolved. Deanna went to help Master Shayla, and she was so provoked by genuine anger, that poor 'peony' ladies and gentlemen, she was frightened."

"... did you seriously piss off the 'Krester family'? You don't need your life, do you?

"The identity itself is up there, you may have bracketed the height. Deanna herself said," Daughter of the Earl's house. "

"Wow..."

Alford had a cramped grin. "The Crestors" man and his best friend, he knows too well what anger the word triggered. His best friend too, in the past, was insulted at home and exploded his anger. In Edward's case, he's pretty scary in a different way than Deanna because his words and actions hunt him down without a minute's gap, even though he remains a soft grin on the surface. "The Coming of the Great Demon King," Alford names it.

"For those of you who are not smart enough, it would have been a" hot drug "that could have worked too well for you."

"Oh, a few people have passed out"

"... Miss Deanna, give her a break."

If the Conservatives of the Royal Palace should say so, it is not Juke that is in trouble, but ourselves that consolidates our surroundings. Conservative nobles who consider themselves' good lords' who listen carefully to what they say about the current King Juke don't complain much about Juke directly. Instead, they push unscrupulous demands on themselves who are nearby to serve around the king, even if this is still the case. In particular, the impossibility from Liliane's fatherly Marquis Landrose is remarkable.

"You deserve it. It's a reward for being scorned by Deanna. Deanna can't even lose to such an unknown young lady, who only knows to look down on others in the name of the" noble celebrity "."

"You're right... Oh, I'll make sure, is Miss Shayla okay?

"Of course it is. Deanna's gone to help, and she can't be saved."

"That's right."

It is reassuring in that regard alone. Miss Shayla didn't get a terrible look, that's all, and the 'worst ending' of mad jukes yelling into the backyard could be avoided.

"That's Miss Deanna. Rapid information-gathering, accurate situational decisions, and quick action. How helpful Miss Deanna is just in the backyard"

"Me and Deanna, if I'm being honest, I just want to end all this nonsense and let you go home."

"... No, I'm sorry"

The status quo, perhaps the biggest species of strife nestled within the royal palace, the 'rear palace'. Deanna cutting it up and even avoiding the worst, but Alford knows she doesn't want to be on the spot. Not much praise, on the contrary, could touch Rita's inverse scales.

"That's right, Master Alford, and I'd like to say a few words."

"Hmm? Oh, what?

It is very rare to mention this from Rita. At least when you're wearing 'The Face of the Samurai'. I guess it's too much.

Madam Chief, I suggest you investigate Sarah Maris secretly, but as soon as possible.

"What?"

Rita's expression was serious. What dwells in those eyes is indisputable genuine anger and worry.

"I am deeply aware that this is an offer that departs from my position. It would be nice to get over it, but I don't think Chief Sarah Maris is the right person for that position."

"Why?

"Naturally we should combine as those who stand on top of people, because we don't feel considerate of the people below."

"Tell me more"

Rita nodded and opened her mouth. What was told was that I "pushed" the samurai, who serves the infamous "Countess Crester," less worried about running away - and the unborn, lonely daughters who complain no matter how badly they see me, into the unbelievable place of the chief woman.

Alford became confused by much.

"... No way, do that"

"As a result, it turned well. Deanna is not as rumored to be in the world, and the samurai had twice as many eyes to see people because of the harsh circumstances. You noticed Deanna's true appearance, and she said it would help. … but that's not what I'm talking about"

"Oh, of course. If that's really why you're deciding to have a samurai with a room, all I'm saying is that as chief woman, you're too disqualified."

"Those who do that are, for the most part, weak in authority and satirical in their own interests. … I was too anxious that the position of chief woman might have been used for her personal greed."

Hard work, etc. Rita's guess is pretty good, I'd say.

"- Okay. Let's find out quickly and secretly."

"Best regards,"

Rita, with her head down - one thing as old as it used to be, it was no different. I hate nobility and I hate serving people and so on, just one exception is Deanna, and standing as a samurai doesn't bow my head to people for no reason.

Such a thing makes her genuinely angry at people who treat people like things without exception.

"... you always do, Rita"

"Master Alford?

"Stop it, I don't want you to see me in a 'position'"

Grab Rita's wrist, who tried to escape with reflexes, with reflexes as well. I whispered softly at the urge to hold him and lock him in my arms.

"... can't you go back?

"- No one can do it, such as turn the clock back. Forget it."

"I can't."

"Dear Alford. I am Deanna's maid of honor. When I dedicate myself to this for Deanna, I have decided. Everything is different from who you are and the way you live."

"Is that why you're telling me to let go? Memories of the past, and this thought!

"You should be able to. So far."

- I can't stand it. I drew a lot of attention.

"I'm not letting go. I was just pretending to let go. Otherwise, you won't even show up before me as a 'samurai'."

"- If you know, let go!

A desperate voice strikes Alford in the ear. The moment I was distracted by the voice of 'Rita' I heard a long time ago, Rita's wrist slipped out of her palm.

Distanced from being captured again, Rita breathed on her shoulders and wept in her eyes, still persevering in her 'samurai' face. I want to mock myself for being rejected so much.

"... if you don't want to be pressed, don't show the gap"

"Wow, when did I show you the gap?

"- You would have exposed to me, even for a moment, a rough face that you wouldn't even show Miss Deanna. If you're not a" samurai, "I'll follow you anytime."

... If you can't get it, just stay away from me in fright.

Did you get that thought, Rita turned around and ran away toward the wall of the rear palace as she hoisted her eyes?

"... idiot, I am"

I should have come to gather information to stop Juke's rampage, but I rambled off and was rejected by the woman I liked. With all the brilliant clowning, I want to be.

Boy, you're just a kid, the reputation from the Crestors is a scattered juke, but maybe here's why Alford isn't invisible. At least, he can sympathize with Juke in that he's in the middle of an endless one-sided situation.

If Juke had approached Sheila in a way that made her say things to power, Alford might have totally discerned Juke. But Juke was following a truly healthy process of first love. I can't help but care about them, I want them to look at me, I want them to open their hearts to me, and even look for the heart of the troubled person. I took care of Shayla, though clumsy, and began to think about what I could do for her.

Because he's a sincere juke in love that way, he feels like a half brother if he doesn't stay on his side and watch over him, and Alford never tires of serving. Because neither Juke's feelings nor his disconnect toward Shayla are the same as what Alford always holds.

... In the meantime, I need to reassure Your Majesty.

Miss Shayla was safe, and Alford returned to the king's office with a report of

- And.

"Alford. Tonight we go to the rear palace -" Between the Peony, "come."

"... Yes?

It was like I was determined to meet Juke.
