The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl
Before you travel.
Rhias told three of the "named" people about the backyard while they were away, made sure they were ready for the trip, and wrote a letter to their parents to do what depended - the day before the descent festival, they rushed past. I was thrown into the bedroom that night considerably earlier than usual, and I have it ready that morning.
That said, all Deanna does is sit in a mirror bench chair after she wears clothes. The samurai seemed to really enjoy themselves, decorating 'The Red Rose'. A gorgeous but unforgettable taste is the boulder royal palace samurai.
When Deanna, polished up like that, was hiffing on the couch, Rita came into the room with a light hasty leg. There is no other samurai in the room because this is a private room we are in right now.
"It's from Master Dualis."
"That was fast. I thought you were already leaving."
"Deanna's letter arrived yesterday at the arrowhead we were about to leave."
"Oh, I've disturbed your father."
If you open it up, it's a little rushed Dualis, and this one goes all over the place as usual, so I can't really get around to your escort, but I'll make sure to keep an emergency line of communication for when something happens. It would be unfamiliar land, so just in case, keep your weapon away from your skin, something like that was spelled out. Deanna laughs lightly at her fatherly writing.
"Neither would the bandits attacking the royal line. Your father's worried too."
"Master Dualis, aren't you worried about something else? The addition of 'Red Rose' to this queue does not seem to be the case in the outer palace, even if it is information-regulated in the latter"
"What could appear against me, not His Majesty? But it's just a matter of payback."
What Rita would have for me, smiling, the person told grinned bitterly.
"No matter how much I am, there is absolutely no guarantee that I can leave. Be careful, Deanna."
"I know. 'Cause I have a good stash of weapons, too."
It is indeed almost a conversation of slaughter. Seeing these two from a deaf place would never dream of us talking about such a mess.
"I know you need to be careful, but I don't know if you're too alert. They may not trust the royal palace."
"If you can't rely on the power of 'Darkness', you also want to be vigilant. How far can you count on the Knights of the Royal Palace?"
"... for once they are the finest swordsmen in this country."
But that's only if you fight positive. He is an amateur with a knight royal palace, who sneaks behind his back in the dark and fights with people who don't choose the means if it's for target killing.
Deanna laughed at Rita's thoughts without hesitation.
"So far, no battle in an area where 'darkness' is good is envisaged, is it? I don't have the enemies to do that."
"Do you understand? Like that double secrecy, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Crestors don't know who lives behind them."
"Well, if you just think about the possibilities, you can't say zero..."
But that's also another pretty special example, Deanna steps on. As we look at him, thank you in person for saying, 'I happen not to have been involved with the Crestors for a long time', because I am suspicious.
Kai seems to be getting his hands on a little reckless without thought at first glance, but he is quite discreet in character and cuts his head off as well. Bring the slightest discomfort to your own pace with a light attitude and don't make them question you. Quite a level of interanthropology.
I don't think Deanna can help but think that someone like that has crossed the world with an element of uncertainty. I don't know why, but he has probably deliberately lived to 'stay out of the Crestors' so far. Though I don't know exactly why I suddenly changed my purpose.
"I don't think there's much like Kai at all. It's almost impossible to live normally in the back and keep information out of the Crestor family."
"... that I'm a rare exception?
"Well, yeah. I think so."
I'll say it and then I'll be a liar. Because if you tell me to explain why I came to that conclusion, I'm going to have a lot of trouble. Anyway, Kai always comes down in anticipation of when there's nobody in the room but Deanna. Where I don't know, in fact, if Rita finds out Deanna's seeing Kai for a little while, the next time she faces Kai, she could throw a knife without question.
"Dear Deanna. - May I have a moment?
The goddess of salvation came when a cold sweat was running down my back. Yuri is letting her face peek through the entrance.
"It's okay. What?"
"That's... His Majesty wanted to talk before he left, and he was sending a use. Deanna, if it's convenient for you, we're going to go to your room."
Deanna looked at Rita unexpectedly for an unexpected contact.
"... Sometimes it's unusual."
"What are you thinking?
I questioned it, but I cannot say 'no' to His Majesty's offer. Telling Yuri to reply that she was visiting, Deanna stood up.
The last time Juke visited Deanna's room was when he came to give a detailed description of one of the former chief women officers. What Juke talks about is, in fact, Deanna, who knew everything, but there she and the aristocratic end, acted lightly and survived.
Even as he listened extensively to his subordinate counsel, Juke, who became concerned with thinking for himself rather than being someone else's, looked quite different, even just looking from a place called the rear palace. He used to behave rashly, often with emotion, and couldn't wipe some young atmosphere, but he grew up on the border a long time ago with the case of the former chief woman, a reputation even in the womb.
"I'm sorry, when I'm busy"
"That's a hell of a thing. Your Majesty will be much busier than I am. If I were to tell you, you would have walked over from me."
"That doesn't make sense. This is something you have to ask me to do."
It is already a dream that a conversation has been established surrounding one desk and drinking tea. When I first met him in the summer, such as the day when I could talk to the king like this, I couldn't even imagine.
"I really wanted to visit and talk to you sooner"
"Please, don't worry about it. For me, the worship of the Coming Festival is only to be done in the Temple of the Mist, unusual."
"... do you have no objection to the fact that it is assumed to represent the Queen?
Juke's eyes hold a slightly sword-soaked light. Yeah, convinced he wanted to make sure of this, Deanna made him laugh a little, like he was in trouble.
"If I may be honest..."
"I don't mind."
"Objection, sir."
The expression on your face is acting, but the words are sincere. Head to the juke that blinked your eyes and continue with the words.
"Me, I tentatively now have a residence in" Between the Red Roses, "but it is only a side room and not a righteous queen. Yet I was wondering if I could act on behalf of the Queen for the sole reason that there were no people."
"Yes, you thought?
"Of course it is. I know better than anyone else that I am not the Queen."
I don't want to, and the real thing is just whine in my chest, and Deanna smiles at Juke.
"Beyond me being a 'Red Rose', I will continue to have the opportunity to represent you in the role of Lady Zheng. Nor am I going to refuse that. - But surrogates are only surrogates. Yes, we do."
"..." The Red Rose, "but you don't want the crown of the righteous queen?
That's what Juke's face asks, and it says, 'No way, there's no such person'. While I thought it would be dangerous if I didn't sharpen my acting skills a little more, Deanna let me take off the 'Red Rose' mask for just a little while.
"I was given 'Between the Red Roses' because there was no other room, was there? It's foolish to think that you're the closest thing to the Queen because you're called the Red Rose."
"Oh well..."
"Besides, I know that I can't decide between the Queen and the Queen lightly in this royal palace."
In a royal palace where conservatives and innovators are constantly scattered with sparks, choosing the powerful position of the righteous queen is like hitting an oily straw roof shed with a pine light. Creating your own stupid imitation of a situation that you know you will definitely catch fire and burn yourself, that's just how you won't do the juke right now.
To Deanna, who grinned, Juke became somewhere, a pompous look.
"Red rose, that was..."
"Yes?"
"... no, it's nothing"
Juke shook his head sideways, correct his posture and turned to Deanna again.
"- I was relieved to know that you were thinking so. Ten days from today, I will make you feel ill, thank you."
"I have nothing to say to you. It is a presence that does everything in its power for His Majesty and the Kingdom, albeit with slight force. I know it can be a lot of inconvenience because I'm unfamiliar with it, but thank you for your patience."
"The only ritual that actually has all the formalities is Sunday worship. Most of the others are traveling. Normally, the king and the queen travel in the same carriage, but due to the special circumstances this time, we planned to try not to feel uncomfortable."
Apparently, the complete isolation of the King and the 'Red Rose' was a care for this side. Deanna, who was blurry to wonder if she had been let go because she hated her, sneaked a reflection on her covert paranoia and smiled at her not acting.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty"
"There are fewer samurai and samurai this year than usual. If you have any problems, I don't care what you say. A few from Kingsguard, too, put them on the 'Red Rose' carriage"
"That's a lot. Now let your side be thin."
"My security, Alford, is ready with no gaps. Don't worry about it."
That's what Juke said and laughed, standing up.
"In a few moments, something will pick you up to partition the itinerary. You should take your time until then."
"Yes, Your Majesty.... Your Majesty is on the road, take care"
Deanna also stands up and drops off the juke to the door. The door sounded shut and the silence returned indoors.
"... after all, what are you doing here?
"Didn't you want to say 'descent festival, say hello'? I've been thinking too much, and I think what I'm trying to say is you were lost."
Returning a bitter laugh at Rita's terminal penetration, Deanna drinks up the remaining tea.
It was only a short while after that that that I was picked up. Rita, Yuri, and Luli accompanied Deanna, leaving behind her familiar "Between the Red Roses" and her rear palace.
