Let's let the chief woman lose her legs.

It was precisely that night that Deanna and Kai made such a determined decision.

"About Chief Lady Sarah Maris, and the Ladies of the Back Palace"

A single thick letter, delivered by the 'Darkness'. The cool flowing handwriting belongs to my mother, Elizabeth. An unspoken and concise book tells the story of how angry she is.

That's not calm... go ahead and read the content with that in mind...

"This is... out"

It was about two and a half years ago that Sarah Maris took up the position of chief woman, but in the meantime there were sudden replacements for kings, and so on, firehouse thief. Regards, there were countless injustices she had done.

Public money embezzlement, backyard privatization, unsolicited personnel. If that's all, then there's still no need to have mercy on the Chief of Staff, who was doing something bad to the extent that the Crestors were angry, such as threatening a good woman or a samurai to take charge of one stick of evil ("It would be a lizard tail officer," the letter said).

I told the maid, including Rita, that I would tell her where the chief woman was at the breakfast table the next day, and that I was going to push her to dismiss her shortly. Deanna hasn't directed anything, but Yuri and the Back Palace Samurai freely controlled the rumors and secretly circulated "The Chief Lady's Bad Tale" to me. Now it's just some of the samurai and female officers, and they're really whispering. The "Red Rose" samurai are not the prominent type, but many have been working as samurai since childhood, and I knew how to live in the royal palace.

Then three days. Deanna, who quantified the evidentiary material gathered by the competent 'darkness' as Hmm, was thinking about what to do with her next hand. By way of example, the samurai are busy, and now Rita is just holding back between them.

(Losing the Chief of Staff... I'd like to at least have her disciplined and discharged. But in order to do so, we need to inform Her Majesty of her whereabouts -)

The chief woman survived because there was more protection for the person up there.

Current Home Secretary, Marquis Landrose - is the father of Liliane. This fact, which I believe is beyond doubt in circumstantial evidence, but I cannot find any physical evidence to support this. Even if the Marquis of Landrose gives up more information on the regular route than he does protecting the Chief Constable, he will always be crushed somewhere. Deanna had that certainty.

(I hope the physical evidence goes up...... Madam Chief, the Marquis of Landrose, and finally 'Dear Peony' can be pushed at once)

Furthermore, after the female chief is gone, there are concerns about her successor. All those currently in the position of women officers are young and have not had enough experience to become chief women. Elizabeth and Edward are running around right now looking for the right person, but it was honest that I can get through this situation of internal distress and outpatient illness, such a masterpiece is hard to find.

The problem is piling up. I put my arms together and reached for tea, then.

"Dear Deanna, it's Rita. May I have a word?

I heard a voice from across the door. Rita, who came in, has a bewildered look somewhere.

"Rita, what's wrong?

"Um... I need a female officer, Mia,"

"Mia?"

Think back to the report you remembered. Within the rear palace, the "female chief force" katana, the right arm of the female chief and a person prestigious, would have been sent in to spy on and direct the "Red Rose". My parents were part of another radical 'conservative', and there were reports that they were also adored by the chief woman.

but.

"Yes, Mia, you know... Fine, let me through."

"Um, Deanna, me too..."

"No. Rita, stay behind the door. 'Cause if it works out, I'm gonna have you in."

"Okay."

Rita stepped back once, took Mia a little bit, and returned. While sitting in a chair for the writing, Deanna silently watches how it goes.

Keep Rita down as she meets -.

"Help me, Red Rose!

I had half the prediction, but I was grounded on the floor for as long as I could. Deanna doesn't say a word, she just looks down at her like that.

"Please, please, help me with all the jobs! If you are enough to be expelled from the rear palace, please order me to execute you first!

"... why?

Quietly inquire here.

"Everything you have done, including evidence, is in my hands. Public money embezzlement, the privatization of supplies in the rear palace. You hit weak women and samurai so hard."

As long as it lasts, Mia doesn't say a word. Know that it is all broken, and there is not much voice of horror?

"But in light of past instances, you won't hit a felony enough to take your life. Discharge at best, prudence is reasonable at home. I intend to file a petition with His Majesty from now on."

"So! That's all I'm asking you to forgive!

Mia raised her face, staring straight into Deanna's eyes at what was not always conceivable, and approached her with a twitch.

"I don't care what sins you make up. Here I am, planning on killing the Red Rose. Yes, please report to Your Majesty! If I lose this position, I, I...!

The rest is speechless. At last, Deanna changed her predictions to certainty when she saw how Mia began to sob on Deanna's feet.

- Yeah, I know, Mia.

Get out of the chair and hold Mia's shoulder. Slowly slapping him on the back, Mia's breathing eventually calmed down.

"Are you okay?"

"Beh, Red Rose..."

"I don't like that name very much."

With a bitter smile, he gets Mia up and directs her to the couch. I opened the door once and asked Rita to make some tea. Looking back, I look into Mia's eyes like that, as if I had seen it in a ghost at midday.

Chuckling, Deanna lowered her hips to the front of Mia.

"You look surprised."

"Yes, yes, that's not true"

"It's nothing good. It's on my face."

Deanna spoke quietly to Mia, whose gaze fell.

"Being a 'bad guy' all the time is hard to tell."

"Huh..."

"You are the chief woman's right arm. Hip wipes. They are handy from female chiefs and fellow female officers, but hated like snake scorpions by good maids and female officers. … that was the first piece of information that came in about you."

"No information, nothing... it must be true"

"Right. Just look on one side."

Mia raised her gaze slightly as to how Deanna said it was hooked.

"I didn't know the details because it was before I went into the backyard. When the current chief of women took up that position and began to do it in a tyrannical way, women and samurai whose parents were 'innovators' or emerging aristocrats were often bullied."

"... Yes"

"Besides, you were carrying it. Sometimes you take the lead."

"... Exactly"

Mia looks up. He had strong eyes.

"I also have sins then. mocking them who suffer, throwing sand and slapping them with fans"

"Yep. I think that's why you left your job."

"Yes. So Red Rose,"

- One of them and one of our guys had us talking at a night club the other day.

In the wake of Mia's gaze, Deanna also poured a straight but soft eye. No intimidation whatsoever. Besides, Mia loses her word.

"She knew who Fairy was."

"Damn..."

"He said he saw it by accident. - Midnight, put medicine in front of an injured samurai's room, look at you."

- The figs were getting intense, at the time. There was a strange phenomenon of 'fairies' appearing in the rear palace and giving medicines, bandages, etc. to the injured, he said. Yuri doesn't really want to talk about that, but Luli was also familiar with the circumstances and rumours of the backhouse and told me as soon as he heard it.

And yesterday, Edward grabbed the identity of the fairy and sent me a running letter.

"It's actually hard for a person with a conscience to play the bad guy. - There must be someone watching."

"... I threw it away, such a thing. It's just that the chief woman's hands and feet came alive."

"If you really had abandoned your conscience, you wouldn't be trying to protect your family until you sacrificed your own life."

I'll tell you what. Mia's expression was strong.

"How far are you..."

"Mia, I know it's hard to fix it in front of me, but you're too bad at acting. If you really want to execute me, you have to hide the knife and come stab me. You come to plead on a straight ball when you have to, and you want to help me with anything."

Because we are mean.

giggling dull, Deanna said. Mia blues.

"Wow, what are you going to do with me......!?

"Oh, misunderstood?

"If you hear such a dialogue, everyone will misunderstand you."

Rita was the one who stuck it in with a shuddering voice. Grab a tray with a cup on it, and you'll just come close.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mia. Don't get me wrong when you say that in Deanna's face."

"Rita, that's pretty rude."

"Deanna, please shut up. Most people in the Crestor family, if you open your mouth, it's the exclusive patent that gets misunderstood."

"So I've been telling you for a long time, and it's a pretty disgusting story from us,"

Mia shrugged as she opened her mouth to a light conversation flying between her main subjects.

"Oh, misunderstanding...?

"Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry, Mia. Would you like some tea?

"What do you mean by misunderstanding!?

Rita appropriately accepted Mia's sudden rise.

"Please calm down, Mr. Mia. Maybe Mia heard Deanna's" Because We're Mean, "and she had all sorts of bad imaginations about being threatened with weakness or harmful to her parents, but Deanna didn't even think about it."

"Oh, so misunderstood?

"It would naturally seem that way if you laughed at me with such a bad thought and said, 'Because I'm mean'"

"Er..., Extra-Heart"

Seeing Deanna half-seriously rotten, Mia again becomes' Hello Ghost 'face.

"Dear Di, Deanna..."

"What?

"What is the Crestor family..., cowering 'evil' throughout the kingdom, in the dark emperor,"

"Yeah, you don't."

Mia that makes her mouth puff. Apparently, not much surprise, not even a voice.

I laughed bitterly, Deanna continued.

"I know you can't believe it. Because we, our forefathers, have such faces. Thanks to the rumors I walked alone and at some point I got two names: 'The Evil Emperor'"

"Is that true...?

I'm not lying, am I? Later, Mia will believe the rumors or us. "

"If you can cut to the front with Deanna so far, I'm guessing it's a good prospect."

What are the selection criteria?

It is the pathetic nature of the Crestor family that convinces me somewhere as I penetrate my heart. Phew, in front of Deanna, who sighed, Mia pounded, and fell on the couch.

"Unbelievable......"

"So, shit."

"But to be honest, I don't even think Deanna is a bad person..."

"Oh, that would be an honor."

Deanna carries tea loosely into her mouth. Mia, who was frightened, looked at her like that and seemed to be back in reality. Return the light to your eyes and look directly at Deanna.

"Dear Deanna. If it's not to intimidate me, why are you talking about my parents?

"Your public money embezzlement, the privatization of your equipment, is for your parents' house, Viscount Meltrova's house, right? The Viscountry administration was tough and life was quite painful before you went to work. That is the gradual improvement in living standards since some time after the current Chief of Staff was appointed. - The money you obtained from selling off embezzled public money and privatized equipment was channelled to Viscount Meltrois to support your family's life."

Mia dropped her gaze and shoulders. Probably, it's a picture star.

Mia had a bad reputation. Especially in the social setting where 'innovators' gather and in the rear palace.

But just one. Only Dualis had examined the operation of her home, Viscount Meltrois' territory, and put in doubt.

"She has worked as a female officer since she was the previous Chief of Staff, but from the state of territorial management, it was not until some time after the modern Chief of Staff was appointed that she began to sidestream her parents. It may simply have imitated the way the chief woman does, but if you're a rotten person with sexual roots, as we talked about, isn't it strange that you're dyeing your hands for evil earlier?

One sentence written by Dualis on the report. A brush arrived from Edward this morning. And Mia's attitude towards Deanna.

If judged comprehensively, the truth sees itself.

"This is just my imagination. You, didn't the chief lady know about your parents' home and hang on to you to help you? And after I got the money wrapped up and sent everything to my parents' house, I found out that it was embezzlement of public money"

"It's..."

"Knowing the facts, you may have protested against the chief woman. In the end, however, she chose the path to follow. Think if we stay under the Chief, we can save our distressed parents."

- Yes, sir.

Mia spinned the words quietly, heavily. I slowly raised my face. I float there - ready.

"The territory of Meltrova is part of an underprivileged area of the weather. Less rain, no rivers, gasping for water and food shortages all year round"

"I know. the southernmost tip of the country. It's one of the few exceptions in my country with plenty of water."

"The people of the territory were poor. At an early age, I accompanied my grandfather on a tour of his territory by saying that I was unable to do so, and I saw the suffering of the people.... I mourn helplessly that I can't do anything to the people, and the figure of my grandfather"

"My predecessor, Viscount Meltrois, I hear, was a fine personage. Though they pointed backwards at me, I ran for the people, saying that it was precisely aristocratic."

"My grandfather would love to hear it."

Mia shrugged lonely. Turn your worried eyes to Mia.

"Since my grandfather died and my father took over the trail, the operation has become even tougher. My father seemed to feel sorry for my grandfather, who had been laughed at from the margins, and focused on being more active in socializing than doing something to the people of the territory, which accelerated poverty. I've decided to go to the royal palace if I can be of any service to the people."

"... but a woman's salary alone couldn't save the tilted territory?

"Yes, such a folding chief was replaced and Sarah was the new chief."

Mia's eyes shake painfully. Deanna sat next to her and held her shoulder.

"... so the chief woman found out what happened to you?

"- Yes. At first, with a gentle smile, I got the words of encouragement: 'You're working very hard,'"

"Yes, it was."

"Eventually, 'Are you the descendant of a knight who played a great part in the Azur civil unrest? It hurts my chest that your house suffers like that, too. Let me help you,' he began to hang on to me... and I received money several times. The truth is, at that time, I secretly wondered. I wonder where the chief lady brought all this money from."

The seeding was when the female chief was shown her hidden books.

Mia was in tears. Deanna slowly, clasps her back.

"So you found out about the fact of embezzlement of public money?

"Yes, the fact that what I was sending home was money for His Majesty and the Queen... darkened in front of me"

That would be so. Before I knew it, I was a criminal.

"To me in a flash, Master Sarah said. He said he could deliver more hardware to his parents if he worked directly with me. I couldn't resist the temptation."

I'm sorry, Mia cried. Deanna rubs her back, speaking.

"I get it. When it's dark in front of you and your helplessness is painful, you want to get out of there if you show me the means to get out of there. It's analogy, no matter how bad it is."

"I knew, he said it was a bad thing. When all the sins are revealed, at least try to bear them by myself. Not to let my parents or the people of my territory lick the bitterness."

"That's why you're here for a direct trial. To protect your home, your people."

"My father knows nothing. I heard that the state of the territory has also improved thanks to my writing 'I want it to be used to run the territory' with the money every time. It's all my discretion, please, sin is on me alone. Something like home."

I pity Mia, who desperately complains. She doesn't know. the 'sin' of the Viscount Meltrova family, which the Crestors examined and revealed.

Cruel truth. But if we don't tell her here, she remains wrong. Deanna made up her mind.

- Mia, I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

"Why!?

"Your father knows your sins."

Quiet, quiet, heavy, whispered.

The expression falls out of Mia.

"... it's a lie"

"I'm not lying. Your father knew that the money sent by you was so-called 'back money'. He kept hiding what he knew, didn't flatter you, and kept receiving the money."

"It's a lie!

Hanging on to Deanna, Mia gets furious. One hand controlled Rita, who tried to move reflexively, and Deanna placed her hand on Mia's shoulder.

"It's a lie, that can't be happening! I said nothing to my father!

"Well, you haven't told me anything. But my youngest brother, who works for the Home Office, noticed what you did."

Mia opened her eyes wide.

"Claude...!?

"You were still young when you went up to the royal palace, weren't you? After graduating from college, he volunteered to become an official and now works for the Office of Home Affairs. While working for the Office of Home Affairs, he noticed the rear house - the public money embezzlement of the chief woman - and also found out that the money flowing into his own home was part of it. And he told his father to praise his sister now."

"... no,"

"I checked with you."

Claude, and Mia's lips moved without sound. Deanna continues with a voice that has erased her emotions.

"Your father got angry. I wonder what it would be like to expose the origins of money and other things you don't even know you can go through without asking."

Perhaps Viscount Meltrova had noticed. In common sense, I can tell as quickly as possible that the money my daughter frequently sends is a lot of money that can't possibly be twisted out to her, who is only a woman in the backyard. A decent parent would ask where he came from.

"Your father scolded me, and your brother said you were troubled. But eventually your brother decided to hide the evidence."

"... how could you,"

"Mia, it's the same reason you are."

"Even if it's a backing fund, if that makes people's lives easier."

I hear that's what he said. Not so much, I guess, the people of Viscountry are suffering.

"I sin unto Claude, before I know it"

"- That's not all. The money you were embezzling isn't being spent on behalf of the people after all."

"... Huh?

At last, Mia lost her power from her hand. Rita rushes over.

Dear Deanna, that's enough.

"It's not good. Mia must know. It is our duty as noblemen."

"... what do you mean?

Trembling at the calf, Mia asks Deanna nonetheless. In response to that gaze, Deanna told him.

"The improved operation of Viscount Meltrois territory is a paperwork lie. Perhaps to convince you and Mr. Claude to keep sending money."

"... really, is it?

"It's definite information."

Human beings living in the world behind them exist all over the kingdom. With their help, the Crestors have an information network covering the entire kingdom. You don't have to fly a fast horse to get what's going on at your destination.

I guess the feeling made me understand that Deanna wasn't lying. Mia finally slipped off the couch. Rita doesn't seem to be able to help.

... I can't even do it. Because she now finds out that the 'sin' she has committed was utterly pointless.

For the Crestors, it's just a very common reality. It is common for a woman in the backyard to be embezzled with public money, or to be sidelined at her parents' house to fatten her private belly. A lot of similar houses came out in this survey.

But the truth is so far brutally stained with the addition of that fact, in which a woman official fully recognizes her sins and nevertheless chooses to proceed to 'evil' for her people.

Mia's lips moved in a tight silence.

"… please"

"Mia?"

"Kill me, Deanna. I am a great sinner, please..."

A powerless voice. Deanna slowly, shook her head to the side.

"You said that earlier, didn't you? I can't do that."

"How could...!

'Cause I think it's hard on you.'

And take Mia's hand. Mia's head rose slightly.

"What you did was a mistake. No matter how painful, if you truly think of the people, you should not have reached for evil"

"... Yes"

"But, Mia. For the sake of the people, for the sake of the family, and for the sake of risking your own life to confront me, you are undoubtedly a 'nobleman'. Just like your grandfather."

There's no way I can kill you, such a noble bearer of heart.

The moment I told him, he cried me down.

"I, I, I made a mistake. I have sinned...!

"There will be no one to be sure of. If you've sinned, you can make amends now."

"When sin comes to light, the Viscount Meltrova family is over. I lose my job too. How can I make amends?"

"It's okay. You and Mr. Claude can protect you."

Powerful, Deanna affirmed. Mia, who was sobbing wet, looks up.

"Oh no, how..."

"Mia, help me. Let's end this, your suffering."

Straight from the front, shoot through Mia.

Stifled, she nodded.
