The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl
Winter visit
The season accelerated all at once into winter as we watched the storm wrapped around the rear palace from the top of the diagonal. Blowing winds mix withers of wood, and in the morning and evening, rarely, snow hits. It will be after the beginning of the year that the snow falls, but for humans seeking warmth, it is the beginning of the season of patience.
In contrast to the dismissal of the former chief woman Maris and the thorough investigation and disposition of those working in the rear chamber, there was little change in the outer chamber, apparently. It's my parents' house, Chris, and this one's free double secret.
'Looks like the crown thing is going down. The guy who bought it was pressured from the back,' voluntarily 'returning his territory and job.'
"The people who were connected to the chief lady are all kinds of interesting things. Get sick or wake up to run the territory. Oh, Deputy Minister of the Interior? but he said he quit his job because he was sick '
"Sounds like there were quite a few tokos in the home of the lady who was forced to stop, who went to the king to judge her directly, and pulled back awesome,"
... all of the above, double covert conversations.
It is time to seriously reconsider the definition of double secrecy. The information he gives us does not stay here on the 'peony' side, nor, on the contrary, within the royal palace. I'm a little worried that there's such a convenient 'double secret' that it's a good one.
What is he thinking and making me proactive in my 'out of duty' work? Deanna had been thinking a lot lately.
"... Dear Deanna? Will you listen to me?
"Ah... I'm sorry, Mrs. Magnum. I wonder what you were talking about."
A serious and capable new chief woman, Mrs. Magnum, turns to Deanna, who was skipping thought in the middle of the story, with her eyes containing the colour of fright. Growing up in a ruinous house, Deanna is vulnerable to people who value courtesy and common sense like Mrs. I lowered my head honestly.
"... sorry"
"Thoughts are fine, but you don't have to understand the story properly"
"I'll be careful.... So?
"It's about the Descent Festival."
Deanna tilted her neck so tightly. If it's about the descent festival.
"If you're getting ready for the festival, Mrs. Magnome won't be spared and you'll be moving on, will you?
"As for the inner palace, of course it's my area, so we're getting ready"
Deanna earnestly respects that she has been able to partition this warlike haste because she has worked as a female official in the past and is familiar with the Iroja of the Royal Palace.
Descent Festival - Les Armenies Arst.
Amenos, God of Almighty Light, descended from the world of the gods into this world and is told that he brought light and gave knowledge to lay the foundation on which men live. A festival to thank and pray for the day his God descended on earth. That's the descent festival.
The Kingdom of Elland is not very religious. Once the Lord God is Amenos God, but when praying for abundance, a God named Leah comes out, and when a girl wants to be beautiful, ask Frodi God. Every favor God makes is different. It is truly a mess and a proper sense of religion.
However, Amenos God, among other things, has a strong presence in the position of 'light' that keeps an eye on me anytime, anywhere, and supports me in times of trouble. Even in temples everywhere, Amenos God is worshipped as the Lord God.
As the day God descends - the twenty-fifth day of the last month of the year (commonly referred to as the "Forest Moon") is taken as the "Lord's Day," and the twentieth to twenty-ninth days before and after it are taken as the festive period, and various celebrations are held everywhere. Specifically, decorate houses and indoors, cook special dishes, and squares are filled with shops day after day. The agricultural boom is over, and sometimes the end of the year, and every year the whole country is festive at this time of year.
The only time this noise subsides is the twenty-fifth, which is unexpectedly the 'Sunday'. The day is closed for festivities and noises, and people go to the nearest temple in the morning to pray to the Amenos God. Spending time relaxing with your family, exchanging gifts with each other and ending your day in happy comfort is considered the ideal way to spend your 'Sunday'.
It may be the 'Day of Faith' of this country, which places less emphasis on religion, to say the least. Even those who don't usually even look at the temple or anything like it, only this' Sunday 'very naturally creeps through the temple gates. That's the mystery of the descent festival.
The nobles, of course, participate in this event.
Nevertheless, I don't mix with the people and look around at the store opening (with the exception of some strangers). The descent festival of the nobles is basically 'more and more noisy day and night'. The night is worse than a properly sleeping people, in a way.
During this period, the nobles are feasting all day in each mansion. Enjoy one good friend's house after another until you feel comfortable, and sleep when the limits come. When it comes to the grand aristocratic mansion, the feast continues even though the whole family is out in separate houses, and strangers can get into things with each other in the main room that they don't quite understand.
And I knew it was still a mysterious' Sunday 'effect here, and the twenty-fifth is a big deal. An independent temple is also built in the section inhabited by the nobles of the king's capital, where they wonderfully pray in the twenty-fifth day.
- By the way, the Crestors don't participate in these series of noises. It would be pathetic on both sides if we asked for truly close friends (because 'socializing' and unlike the feast of the descent festival are only enjoyed with friends who can forgive their hearts, supposedly), and those who want to actively get along with 'evil emperors' want to reject them from themselves. Because thoroughly piercing non-participation is ultimately the least of the waves.
And in this free period, the Crestors are secretly flying to various territories, looking around to see if the festivities are high and the problem is not going to happen. In the name of..., I enjoy mingling with the people's festival. Only the twenty-fifth day is back at the mansion in the Crestor area, the home base, and I knew I'd go to the neighborhood temple and pray. On the last day of the year, on the 30th of the Forest Moon, there will be a night club in the Royal Palace attended by all the nobles (which will last until the first day of the star and moon, the new year has dawned), so each will return to the King's Capital in time for it. This is how the Crestors spent the Coming Down Festival.
- In other words, Zubali said, Deanna has only a very rare knowledge of the common aristocratic descent festival.
"What the royal palace does at the descent festival was that hard?
"It's no big deal to mention only the Coming Festival. Exquisite, enough to prepare palace decorations and the care and special dedication of the royal families, the ten days in the middle are rather free. Those who work will also take turns taking leave at this time."
"Ah... but I have a backyard this year"
"Before that, this year, the preparations for the evening club for the following year are not over. I have already told those who work that it is not until the beginning of the year that they will be granted leave."
It is a boulder, a truly familiar extraction. Deanna's burning blade, "The Red Rose," etc., is not even at her feet.
This is also why Deanna is sending Mrs Magnum a sparing praise. At that point when she officially worships the chief woman, more than half a month until the end of the year. From here it is usually impossible to grasp the hearts and minds to finish preparing for the Coming Festival and the New Year's Eve Club (you can guess from the date, but these two events are consecutive).
Mrs Magnom dealt with this difficulty without moving a single eyebrow. Even though a large crowd was disposed of and understaffed, she got ready at an incredible rate for what kind of hand she used, and now the entire backyard looks beautifully decorated and glittering.
"We made it to the Comedy Festival, but we didn't have enough men and time for a few minutes, and we couldn't reach out to all the people involved in the night club."
"That's... I don't think I have a choice. But are you okay? There will be less time this year for you guys to prepare for having a backyard."
"Don't worry. We've already assembled our duty during the descent festival, so we'll be there in ten days."
"Then I'm glad."
It is Deanna, who was in jeopardy, until I asked His Majesty the King to temporarily return home in the sideroom, if necessary. I will miss spending the descent festival with them with nothing in particular to do.
"... What do you mean, nothing in particular except Sunday worship?
"Today, including that, I went up to the story"
The new chief woman with no gaps in everything, nodding one, opens her mouth again.
"During the descent festival, snacks, sweets, etc. will be prepared in the salons and tea rooms of the rear palace, and we will be in a position to work through them so that the side rooms can be enjoyed thoughtfully. In the east courtyard, the merchants of the King's capital are invited to enjoy the city's atmosphere, even though it is small."
"I see, that's lovely"
Both noble daughters who value old-fashioned customs and daughters who feel close to the common people live in the present backyard. It would be Mrs Magnome's concern that both of them could enjoy the festival.
Deanna smiled and nodded.
"I have no objection to that. Keep moving."
"Yes, I did. - Then," Red Rose. ""
Madame's voice changed clearly. In the first place, she doesn't call Deanna a 'red rose' for rare things.
I have a bad feeling - and at the same time Deanna pulled her back, she let go.
"It's a descent festival, but" The Red Rose "invites you to go with Your Majesty to the Temple of Mist and participate in the ritual"
... super oversized, get a bomb.
Returning to sanity was faster for Rita than Deanna, who had previously cautiously refrained behind her back and listened to the story. Unexpectedly, he embarks on himself in such a way.
"What do you mean? Why would Deanna have to do that with Her Majesty?
"... I don't think so, but neither Deanna nor Rita know the role of the royal family in the descent festival?
Rita and Deanna, who have worked hard to get back to reality, look each other in the eye. I didn't have to exchange words, I just exchanged that gaze and found out what they didn't know.
"... sorry for not studying"
Encouraging me to tell you in the dark, Mrs. Magnum, well resembled, grinned bitterly as troubled.
"I ask you as a premise, do you know the legend that the royal family of this country is the descendant of a hero who was entrusted this land by the Amenos God and made his country?
"I know that for boulders."
It's a common myth. Of course Deanna doesn't believe it. In order for the old royal family to put the country together, they would just have wanted to foil it, hyperbolically saying that they were the chosen people, given this land by God.
"This means that the Royal Family of Elland is a pattern that can't be cut with Amenos God. Therefore, on the Lord's Day of the Coming Festival, which glorifies His God, it is customary for the King himself to take his feet to the Temple of Mist, which is the main temple, to worship."
"Going all the way out to Mist... or the main temple of Armenianism is the Temple of Mist, which I just found out for the first time"
"… that, as a matter of general common sense, is something you should know"
Deanna, who looks ruthless and evil, is wide and shallow and strives daily to absorb all sorts of knowledge so that she can also attack while protecting herself. But there are exceptions to everything.
The only thing distant about Deanna is her religious affiliation. The reason is simple, reality doesn't change where I prayed to God, because thorough realism has shaped Deanna so far that if you want to change it, you just have to move.
This, by the way, is a trend found not only in Deanna, but also in the entire Crestor family. Born in "The Bad Man's Face," they basically live in surrealism (realism), bearing a fate that is misunderstood regardless of their own will. Therefore, praying to God too - that is not except once a year on the Lord's Day.
It was Mrs. Magnum, who almost sighed at the blatant Deanna, but with her, someone who had originally been close to the Crestor family Fione for years. General common sense seems to be clearly dividing it from this family, and mouths the rest of the explanation.
"On the 20th of the Forest Moon, the first day of the Descent Festival, a row of royalty heads to the Temple of Mist and takes five days northwards through the kingdom. After you arrive at your destination on the twenty-fourth day, you will purify your body and mind for worship, perform a ritual to worship the Amenos God the following twenty-fifth day, and enter the itinerary to return to the royal palace again from the twenty-sixth day".
"... Could it be that during the ten days of the Coming Festival, His Majesty the King was almost in the carriage?
"It's the left. There's still plenty of room for outbound travel, so it looks like you'll be able to see festivals everywhere."
Nevertheless, there is no way His Majesty the King will mix with the people to participate in the festival. The grand annual festival was just the absence of the king.
"It's hard to king..."
"I'm not a human resource person. Deanna will accompany us this year."
The reality we were trying to escape came back in more direct terms. Now it's time for Deanna to scream.
"So why me?!? It must be His Majesty's responsibility, isn't it?
"I have never said, 'Your Majesty only'. I thought you said" royal. "
Reflect on previous conversations.... Sure, that's what Mrs. Magnum said.
- But.
"I am not an official royal!
"But it's Red Rose."
What I've returned is the fact that I've forgotten these days. I tried to say it back, but I couldn't find any objections, and Deanna ended up silent.
"If you are not the righteous queen, you will not come to one of His Majesty's worship at the present time when there is a 'Red Rose' in the rear palace. Because the Coming Festival means thanking God Amenos and sharing your heart with your family and friends who are on your side every day."
"… what do you think, Your Majesty at heart? Though it seems very unlikely that you would like to interact with me."
"I did not say no to the Ministry of the Interior's inquiry as to whether it would be okay for me to accompany the" Red Rose "on behalf of the Queen. I believe you acknowledge that."
... there must be like before, 'Why am I the' Red Rose 'and so on!' I wanted you to dial it. Can't a one-sided Deanna refuse even though His Majesty the King has not disputed it?
Seeing Deanna, who could no longer be completely disputed, Mrs. Magnome apparently decided that she was convinced. I officially thanked him and told him ruthlessly.
"Departure is the morning after tomorrow. Please prepare for your journey."
- It was a hissing Deanna who remembered the feeling that it was going to be the most troublesome descent festival of her life.
