The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

...... cold.

It's a dungeon with no light coming from anything but skylights, and it's an extremely cold winter now. Although it is only natural that cold air should dominate the body if you kneel in the stripping soil.

Deanna was colder than her body, her mind.

From birth, like another father, Sirius watched Deanna grow. He's good at hiding his emotions, but Deanna's sensibilities aren't dull enough to hang out that long and not read a single fragment of that mood.

It was foreseeable that he hid something important and dared to talk about Dualis' decision 'like his own will.

It's not like Dualis would have told Sirius to 'wear it'. That father wouldn't do such a cowardly thing. Perhaps you just ordered Sirius to tell him that this was a 'decision of the Lord'.

Sirius, sheltering his father like that, tried to be the bad guy. 'Darkness' doesn't work... No, replace the reason you can't move with Sirius' judgment '.

(I know. Must be bad when 'Darkness' moves, for a reason......)

Didn't Deanna herself feel it all the time?

From somewhere. As if there were eyes in the sky, motion is visible, a bad feeling.

Even if you desperately look for your best hand, it's on the palm of 'Someone' for an unparalleled disgust, as if it were being rolled the way you think.

Suppose that wasn't Deanna's fault. Suppose you have 'enemies' you didn't know about Deanna, who were spotting and rolling through the Deannas.

Here, the 'darkness' of the Crestor family is also sure to be expected to move as the 'next hand'. The fact that it is expected means that even the response sees it as being prepared, no doubt.

Even Deanna can't throw 'Darkness' in there, even though she knows it's a trap.... There's no way I can.

Is there anything wrong? Is there anything else you can't hit?

Deanna can't even think about letting Shayla die. I can't believe I mourn those straight spring sky eyes forever with a supple, unbreakable, moist heart.

It's not for the country. Not even for the king.

It's just... it's just Deanna. I can't mourn my dear friend -!

"... are you crying?

- A soft-sounding voice, my heart, made a noise and bounced.

Reflectively raising his face, he stands on the other side of the plaid, in a black outfit, a well-known man.

As unwilling as ever to sneak, Deanna nearly cried through a shudder.

"What are you doing, Kai..."

"I'm here to see Dee?... your voice is far away, don't stay on the wall like that, come here"

Even if it's far away, it's in a cramped cell. There are not ten steps to the lattice.

Deanna shook her neck to the side to resist the instinct of screaming that she wanted to rush over immediately.

"No, you can't. If we talk, we can do it from the top, right?... at least hide yourself"

"I don't like it. I came all the way down here because I wanted to see your face and talk to you."

"They'll find us."

"Looks like the guys who got Dee don't have too many. Looks like the lower end is in charge, not knowing what's going on. It's good to have a peaceful country, because nobody complains about sneaking up on you."

Right now, watch out, there's nobody...

That's sweet, not really - poison.

I put a desperate, restrained leg that was about to rise.

This moment. Deanna, painfully, becomes aware.

The moment I saw your face, rush over.

Hands, reach out. Follow me.

Stay with your heart, I'm about to scream "help".

When? So much so.

I guess I kept my heart in this one -?

Just if you're stuck. Deanna couldn't get lost and stepped out of this leg.... I wanted to touch Kai.

But now, if I go by Kai's side.

I say it. Hope, I will.

Dangerous, helpless, my utmost 'hope'.

"... Dee"

Finally, Kai calls Deanna, who can no longer even see her face.

Sifting, the secret seemed a little, giggling at her, shaking her neck small and over again.

"... that way, get smaller. Dee, what are you trying to protect?

"Kai......!

"I'll tell you what. For me, this kind of jail is no obstacle. Even the key is not a big structure, so it can be opened immediately. - Dee wants me to tear him apart and grab him from here?

"No!"

There's no way I can do that in any sense. I'm sure staring at him in the front.

- With stronger eyes than that, Kai shot Deanna through her heart.

"Well, come on. By my side.... let me touch it."

This, one. Why don't you always take it off?

Say what you want....... I want, warmth.

When you want it, you'll give it to me.

Resided strong will, in eyes and words. There was no way Deanna would turn against him.

Stand up fluttered and close enough to feel the exhale.

A hand stretched out of a gap in the lattice gently stroked Deanna's cheek.

Purple blue eyes narrow to sweetness.

"... Are you hurt?

"I'm fine. In the first place, they haven't touched me. Except when you go to jail, they push you in the back."

A hand stroking his cheek fell on his neck. Softly crawling fingertips, hot.

"I asked Rita. They looked great, he said.... did you push your back too?

"Right. You seemed hesitant to let me in, didn't you?

"Shall I rip my throat open for the cost of going?"

"You don't have to do that, the Crestors won't miss that guy. One of these days, I won't bother to let the idiot who's decided to die get the better of me."

"I'm relieved. I wondered what Dee would do if he sheltered the guy who did this."

"Exactly. I'm not that nice or popular."

When innocent sin is being covered and about to be killed, it is the saints who have stopped humans or just fools who have fallen in love with peace who try to shelter their opponents after knowing they do. Deanna is still angry about this, along with the 'enemy' who uses her cowardly hands, because if she doesn't remember stopping being human, she isn't so lacking in crisis management ability that she can't feel the danger to her life.

The fingers that were touching her neck fell straight through Deanna's body lines, to her shoulders, to her arms. Did you notice the heat in his fingers, and it was hot all over his body?

"... good"

Quiet, Kai shrugs.

"Well, you're doing well. I don't think there's any poison left."

"... were you worried about that?

"It's obvious. What will you do if you die of such impotence? My liver's cold."

"Sorry.... Rita told me you followed me all the time"

"Until the antidote works and spontaneous breathing resumes. Generally speaking, I'm surprised it worked that way for a breathless Dandolo."

"Dandolo taught me that I didn't just kill him. Depending on how they fit, they can save lives."

"... Dandolo taught you?

"If we clear our ears and hearts, we can sense their 'voices'. When I tell Rita," Deanna can only do that. "

"I agree with Rita."

... Really? It's not that difficult or special for Deanna.

Kai's finger tangled in Deanna's left hand.

"Really, I care about my whole body.... I'm glad Dee didn't die."

"Kai......"

"To Dee, I know you didn't mean to die. But the impotence was impotent. Right?"

"... Yes"

"Please, from now on, let's do something about it before all we have to do is stay so far in the line of hands. There were other ways to protect the king and pretend that the backhouse was peaceful."

Oh. This guy...

"You're not telling me not to do it anymore."

"It's useless to say, isn't it? Dee will continue to do the same if he decides this is the best."

"... yes,"

"Me, too, because I'm letting you do whatever you want. I have no right to stop Dee, and I don't think I can. Dee is really stubborn."

"That, you say?

"I'll tell you. So all I can do is make other paths before the stubborn Dee puts her life on the line, before it's the only way out. If it's going to end the same either way, it's better to be safe, right?

Laughing, but the content of the words was serious. If you're not just talking about yesterday, you come perfectly.

Trying to back off, fingertips that remained captive did not allow it.

"Mr. Shayla, they caught you."

"Kai,"

"I don't know where he is or whether he's safe or not. I mean Dee, he wants to get out of jail, but he wants to go find Mr. Shayla."

"... let go"

"The Sirius of the Pledge of Request cannot move this time. And why... to see what happened earlier, Dee already seems to know."

"- Kai!"

I see everything, this man.

I'll desperately fix it, I'll try to strip Deanna of her last one.

"Please, shut up"

"I won't shut up"

"I don't want to tell you. So."

"That's a bad guess for Dee. I'm trying to make you say it."

"I know, so shut up!

"- I told you, don't protect me!!

Rarely, a strong tone. I stared swallowed, beyond that.

Confidence and pride. And full of determination, there were men's eyes.

Words pour out to Deanna, who holds her mouth, so that she can bite every word.

"Only I won't be protected by Dee. I'm here to protect Dee."

"Kai......"

"Dee's body, his mind, the whole thing.... to protect you, I'm here."

The last one is peeled off. A hand inserted through a gap in the lattice supported my body, losing strength and breaking down, killing my momentum.

Every single finger, Kai's finger, enters the gap between the tangled and removed fingers.

… will the heat of the body invade even the mind?

My heart, which seemed so frozen, now. Like burning, hot.

"Say it, Dee"

A voice that is gentle but doesn't allow me to escape dominates everything in Deanna.

"As it were, Dee wants it, all of it. Tell me."

"Kai......"

"Don't be scared. - Trust me."

... No more, no more.

I can't contain my screaming heart.

"... Ke, Ke"

Something hot, a muscle, drifts down my cheek.

"Shit, open up. Please, help Shayla. Don't let me die!

"Dee......"

"I know. To minimize the sacrifice, I know it's a bad idea to go save Shayla. But, but!

From between the lattices, the stretched right hand.

When I realized it, I grabbed Kai's clothes so that I could scratch her.

"I can't stand mourning Shayla. Even if they don't like me anymore, I don't mind. If Shayla lives and laughs at me, that's all I need."

Valued, dear best friend.

You could mourn it. It's now that its weight is immeasurable.

I don't want Shayla to die. It was Deanna's best, but inalienable wish.

The power to grab Kai's clothes is stronger.

Deanna painfully understood that it would send the one in front of her to a dangerous place.

... Ah. All the things I don't want to mourn, they grow.

"I'm sorry, Ky. 'Cause I know it's dangerous, and I am!

"That's okay."

"I need your help with Shayla. But the one who went to help, I want him to be safe. - I don't want to mourn anyone!!

That's probably it.

All the time, keep wishing.

I've given up putting it on words because I knew it was impossible -.

- You said, "Do it."

The more painfully, the hand that was squeezing the clothes is wrapped in a fluffy fever.

As prompted, when you look up.

"Dee's, my best. For Dee to laugh, something he'll never give up.... Finally, he told me"

- Incredibly beautiful eyes, there they were. In the purple blue night sky, the stars are split and glittering.

Keep your tangled fingers intact. With his other hand, Kai slowly stroked Deanna's frightened hand.

"I'll tell you as many times as I can. I'll protect Dee's whole life. So that Dee can fulfill everything he wants and be happy."

"Kai......"

"If helping Mr. Shayla is what Dee wants, I'll make it happen. If you want me not to die, I won't die if you kill me."

"Kai......!

Deanna gripped back her tangled fingers.

"Please, don't die. Live, help Shayla, come back."

"That's fine. - I wanted this."

From the hand I was grabbing my clothes, I could lose my strength. I thought it would fall, and Kai softly supported it, - to his own mouth, and drew it.

Out of the way. The heart moves differently than before.

"Ca, y...?

"Greedy, my best, mean. - But most importantly, who, gentle and warm. I wanted Dee's sincere desire."

"But..."

I don't want this. Really, it's just Deanna's home.

I can't believe no one, nothing, wants to mourn. I don't even know how things make sense. As much as the world isn't that sweet, Deanna already knows.

Even though I know. And yet, when I had to, I couldn't break it off...

I giggle, in Kai's eyes. It's creepy, it's a mixture of luster.

As much as I want to escape, I'm attracted to its luster.

As if she had been tied to gold, Deanna would be unable to move.

"... Scared?

"I don't know, though.... to die is scary"

"Dee won't lose anything. Trust me, hope you're safe, and wait for me to come home. - That's mine, that's ours."

Don't die, that you have one to wish for. That there is one waiting to return.

Deanna once heard that it creates the power to choose 'raw' at the dead end of the line.

That's... Kai's, if you want.

"Don't die. - Live."

"Dee......"

"You promised, right? One day - when it's all over, he says he's going to take a look at the house with the shoji, the town, with him. I haven't forgotten. I'm really looking forward to it."

……

Strong force pulls my arm. Kai's exhale ran through his fingertips to his arm.

"Like this, by the way. Don't tell me what makes you want to cuddle."

"Kai......?

"Right. Promised. To make it happen, I can't tell you how dangerous life is in this place."

Kai laughs. Gently - and strongly.

"Help Mr. Shayla and we'll both be back safely. I haven't left Dee in any danger, okay?

"You don't have to worry about me. Your fathers will help you."

"Right. I trust you, too."

"Me too... trust me, I'll be waiting. You will come back."

Gently, smile. Deanna gently pulled her arm from herself and left it pulled toward Kai.

A moment, between.

"That kind of defenseless thing, you can't leave him alone"

Because this is what happens...

With a whisper, on the inside of his arm, a wet soft one is pressed against him.

While I wondered, the secret in front of me was literally melting into the darkness.

(... eh. Mah. now)

I wonder if there is only about one such tactile thing in the human body… especially in the human face.

To consciously push it somewhere. Generally, it looks like there was a call for something.

(Undefensible. This is what happens...!

Unexpectedly rebuffed a series of moves, Deanna became bored, forgetting where she was.

No. I didn't mean -! and.
