The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

The people of the village during the festival were friendly and quickly ready for a faraway run, beginning with two horses.

After a brief dinner while walking around the outhouse, look for an inn. There was miraculously an empty room in the only inn in this village, and Kai took the room without hesitation. "Am I the only one resting?" and threw the dissatisfied Deanna into bed with due respect, she fell asleep without keeping it between, so she must still have been quite tired.

The moonlight pours out the window into a simple room with a bed, sideboard, and sink. Kai, sitting on the bed, gently shredded the glittering golden hair reflecting on the moonlight. The glossy touch is like silk and makes me want to touch it forever.

"- If you go any further, you'll be slaughtered without question."

"... Um, come on. Why don't you stop staring out the window all of a sudden? 'Cause even if I did, I'd freak out."

Kai looked back, unlocking the window and opening it to the point where he could get through for each person, and jumped straight out. Use the window frame to cleverly twist your body and land directly next to the person who was outside.

"That's Mr. Sirius. Have you found it yet?"

"If Deanna gets into that forest, it's this village that's closest to her. I had some of them look for the woods... but you were the fastest."

"I'll take a compliment."

With the usual mild tone, signs of vigilance and bewilderment had disappeared from Kai's eyes that did not show him the self he had been haunting. The purple blue eyes are brilliant with strong determination, walking with a view to the future to aspire to, feels the will of steel. - Sirius knew immediately that something had changed in him.

Deanna took care of you.

"Thank you or something. That's what I wanted to do."

"Still, it doesn't translate into being helped. - That's what you should call a 'lion'."

To his calling, which sounded quiet, Kai just had an adult grin.

"I was aware, after all?

"Without engaging with the Crestors, there are only a few who live in the 'back'. The first thing I noticed was Master Dualis."

"Your lord?

Sirius returned a soft grin to him, who opened his eyes and expressed surprise.

"I was more involved with Lord Black Lion than I was with Lord Dualis. Haven't you heard from your father?

"Not at all. Black lion...... because my father doesn't really want to talk about the old days"

"Well, you don't know the details."

"Well. My dad's decided not to get involved, and then it felt like I'd avoid it, too. For me, the Crestors."

In an unexpected streak, Kai smiled bitterly and lowered his gaze diagonally. To her across the roof, he pours a warm glance.

"If the princess at the end of the Crestor family knew she was such a girl, she wouldn't have gone to the rear palace."

"Now I can't help it. Even an assassin's passionate hobbyist is certainly a fingerprint in the Crestor family. I can't read Deanna's mind with us."

"As a target, it was harder to do. Once we made the deal, we made it, and it was impossible.... I could understand why the 'back' people admired the Crestors for generations."

As a 'back' person, such as having personal feelings for the subject of work, it is a synonymous anachronism of immaturity. Perfectly accomplish the task requested, no matter what person they may be. So for the first time, you're recognized as a single operator.

- But. At all times, the Crestors have unconsciously, mildly, shot through its iron rules.

"... you didn't want to kill me."

"Hmm?"

"For the first time, close enough to hear voices, look at Deanna. I didn't want to kill him, so I was surprised that I thought so."

"Oh......, there is, that's the thing"

I think of her ahead of that eye, and Sirius becomes naturally, serene. Anyone who touches her heart and is still harmful would be quite a muscled villain.

"Originally, I didn't mean to harm the lady of the Crestor family. Not only that, I don't want to hurt that kid over there right now, I can't believe it.... but when I said that, I wouldn't be at work, so I immediately and definitely trapped that emotion."

"You've made a senseless effort."

"Really. If I stay by my side, even if I lock it up, I grow up."

But Sirius can tell. This boy is a genius (professional). That's why I understood the dangers of budding emotions, completely enclosing them, forgetting them.... that it was too perfect to realize that thoughts were growing on the other side of the seal.

"I never get sick. It is a daily tea meal for the Crestors, such as drawing enemies to their side because of their natural nature. Especially when you're running a business like ours, your eyes naturally gain weight. Even if you fall for Deanna, that doesn't mean you're immature."

"It would be a little easier for you to say that to Mr. Sirius."

"You knew about me?

"Well, I listen to you all the time." Sirius of the Black Wings "- Alongside" Sola of the Black Lion, "he's a celebrity who's said to be bi-perfect in" the back. "

It's not my job to be famous.

Bitterly laughing at his street name, which he hadn't heard in a long time, Sirius stared at the boy sitting next to him.

"... what?

"No, I was just wondering."

"Question?

"Why did you choose Deanna over your employer? It would have helped Deanna, for example, to remain a double secret."

The boy, who was older than he looked, slowly shook his neck to the side.

"I know someone's trying to do Deanna harm, but it's more unscrupulous for me to keep it a double secret in this situation."

"Deanna travels in a royal carriage as a 'red rose'. Less dangerous, even if you know so?

"Being in a royal carriage is not necessarily equals' safety '. First, it was someone from the rear palace Kingsguard who was after Deanna. If I were an assassin, I'd do something to dive into the entourage and' work 'somewhere on the road. - Yeah, I thought so."

In fact, Kai raised the noisy light to his eyes.

"Deanna, they almost killed me."

"... what?

"I wonder if it was Mana Colt, the name. I think you should look into it."

He temporarily told Sirius to listen to a series of disturbances in the woods. The Colt knights who came to the place where Deanna was resting tried to stab Deanna with a poisonous dagger, assassins who appeared again as Kai had foreseen it.

"The guys who were hiding seem to have stabbed me for throwing a good needle in the tow, and they didn't attack me any more, though. Their heads were there."

"Stupid......! You think I found Deanna in the woods, running away for real, in such a short time? It's impossible even for us!

"Oh, I knew Deanna was oddly compatible with the woods, right? I was right around the corner. I lost him, and he had a cold heart."

"From an early age, you grew up in the Crestor Zone woods on the playground. The way you hang out with the woods is out among the clans. Such Deanna's enemies..."

It's not easy to find Deanna lurking in the woods, even for someone with such a sharp feeling. No way, there was a battle before we reached the village, etc. … did knowing Deanna lead to alarm?

"Sorry for the inconvenience."

"So, that's all right. Because that's what I wanted to do.... at the heart of it, it didn't help."

Kai was also keeping an eye on the queue so that no one would notice, as the 'Darkness' conductor had been chasing the queue unknowingly. Fighting in the woods took place in a slight gap where both sides turned a blind eye.

"Halfway through the woods, I went to see if there was any danger ahead of the woods. As expected, they attacked the carriage."

"... that's too much."

"I'm not willing to make excuses, but I think so, too. It's called finding Deanna who escaped, and I can see her when she licks the 'enemy'."

"It seems so. … tell Master Dualis that we need to fight with our backs."

"This is my kang, but Landrose's father, he's not my best friend, although he's a part of the enemy. It didn't look like a vessel that far."

"It was the Marquis of Landrose who hired you, wasn't it?

"I didn't know, but that's what the guy you heard explain with said."

Of course, the Marquis was just fluttering back into the chair, and it was the man who actually exchanged words with the Kays who looked like his men. but I didn't hide his face, so I can tell his face if he is somewhat familiar with aristocratic society.

Sirius finally cut to the point, to the hidden boy who brings his employer to light and stands there in nature.

"So, what are you going to do now?

"From now on, what?

"You're not going back to" Between Peony, "are you?

"Right. You'll suck when you get back just fine.... exploring the royal palace and the rear palace while looking for your next job as close to the royal palace as possible, isn't that enough? We have plans now."

"Deanna hires you. You have a choice?

"Oh, I don't have that."

Lightly, clearly, uttered. Slightly irritated, as if to reply without hesitation.

"Is Deanna dissatisfied as an employer?

"I'm not. There are a couple of reasons... if Deanna hires you, you have to listen to Deanna's orders, right?

"What's wrong with that?

"When I was listening to Deanna's orders, I wondered if it would be inconvenient. Even in situations where I have to protect my life, I'm going to come and order you to run away or something, that girl."

Sirius lost the words to return to the pointer that fired too much target.

"Everyone who's protecting Deanna right now can't ignore Deanna's orders, can they? But, uh, I think there should be about one guy beside that kid who doesn't listen.... or I'll be absolutely and inexorably impotent."

"But... then we can't take control when we have to"

"I know that. So I basically don't listen to Deanna, but when I do something, I'll ask the 'dark' people....... can't you balance that?

This boy goes far beyond Sirius' imagination and puts his thoughts through a variety of things. - And probably as stubborn as Deanna.

"Not at all... Lord Black Lion has raised a hell of a man"

"... is that a compliment?

"Half."

The strength of your willingness to never bend what you say once, or - the tenderness to take care of something you want to protect everywhere. Really, he looks just like his father.

... and the discipline of not yet seeking help from the 'Crestor family', even over this period.

"It's your will that determines what you do. It is therefore not a matter for us to speak up. - Of course, as someone with the same purpose, it would be helpful if you worked together."

"Yeah, Rikai"

"... and then,"

... This parent and child do not understand. From a long time ago, the clan has crossed the waves of history, showing a tremendous amount of care and picking up overflowing (spilled) lives. - That's the Crestor family.

"Lord Black Lion, but now I'm picking you up"

"............, what?

For the first time since I came here, Kai's expression lived at an age appropriate. Seems to have been utterly void poked by words I didn't expect.

"It's a rare disease, but you think there's a great chance of recovery even with medication? Flew to a familiar port and secured access to medicinal herbs already"

"Heh, no, no, heh,"

"The doctor you asked for is good arm, but he doesn't have enough tools anyway. We've got a facility with all the tools you need to treat and rehab, so spend the winter there and you'll be fine in the spring."

"So wait a minute!

Kai turned to Sirius in the bubble-fed wind and drew one step closer, reflecting a rush in his eyes.

"Why are you talking about that!?

"You jumped to a high reward for not paying attention to your work, didn't you, Lord Black Lion?

"So why the Crestors! We've always been here because of our stance that we're not gonna get involved with you guys."

"Lord Black Lion seemed to have decided that, but Master Dualis was not convinced. If you hear you're in trouble, you'll naturally want to reach out."

"He said he could do something with my money."

"Even though you no longer have any income from 'Between Peony'? That's also to help Deanna. At the end of the day, no matter who says what, Master Dualis will be taken care of until Lord Black Lion is well."

"And apart from this!?

Sirius nodded, yeah, yeah, to Kai, who showed off his clever moves of diving in his voice and screaming.

"That's right. Both your circumstances make the Crestors irrelevant."

"If so,"

"- Sweet, Kai."

Under the moonlight, the leader of the Crestor family 'Darkness' gave him a really good smile.

"You thought that our common sense would lead us to the 'Crestor family'?

"Heh... heh, that"

"Give it up. - This is what 'engaging with the Crestors' is all about"

Exceptionally well researched, he understood everything at that moment. He said it was all a mistake in the first place to opt for a 'get involved with the Crestors' job for the money.

"Ugh, this pisses me off..."

"Let's follow up here, too. Whatever the beginning, you became an integral part of Deanna."

"... I wonder"

Sitting on the roof in too much shock, he quietly thinks of her sleeping ahead.

"Deanna is an unforgivable person to me. Deanna probably doesn't think that deep down about me."

"You don't get it, that's not true"

"... I mean, I think it's better for Deanna now"

That's what I said. In his eyes, he just had a mind to think of the other guy. Just a flinch, just a deep, cherished thought.

"... why do you think so?

"Deanna is the Red Rose. Of the king's side chambers, the greatest. - Assuming you like someone, Deanna must be worried"

"While in the sideroom, you said you fell in love with a man other than His Majesty the King?

"Not really. If you can't get out of the womb, I mean, not if you're in love, but what are you doing with me! Deanna, you suck at sorting out your emotions, and if you accidentally do, you're out of tolerance."

"It's..."

Kai really takes a good look at Deanna. It's a perfect assumption, unpleasant to complain about by playing Sirius, the master.

"Deanna trusts me, quite a bit. That's it, I'm satisfied.... now."

"... still, and what if Deanna likes someone other than you?

"If Deanna's the one to be happy, of course I'll help and watch. - I won't give up my position to defend Deanna at the nearest point."

... Think about it objectively and don't say 'watch'.

A boy who inherits the name of a 'lion', ready to pierce what he decides once, combined with his willingness to push his way, with the warmth of thinking of someone - just a little glamour.

Thinking of something that would change with him beside Deanna, Sirius smiled slowly.
