The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

Having returned with new hot water in the pot, Deanna was to be captured by Edward in an instant to receive a sermon under the blue sky, after all or should I say planned harmony. Reflecting lightly on Deanna's behavior yesterday and soliciting where and for what reason it was dangerous, Edward is thorough with his overprotective brother, who shows no dust to his earlier distress. Chris and Sirius, who are familiar with this sibling, propose to withdraw "because it will be long when this happens," and first the guests are led back to the mansion by Sirius -.

"I'd like to talk to you a little bit, could you please give me some time?

Somewhat predictable, Kai was stopped by Shayla when she returned to the mansion and disbanded into each room. Make sure Juke and Alford don't look like each other, then nod.

"Okay. Not here, and you want to go to the backyard?

"I'll take care of it"

The look on Shayla's face to answer is stiff. What she was trying to say was generally plausible, so Kai didn't say anything extra either and silently moved the place into the backyard.

The Count's mansion has an adorably sized backyard that is not matched by a girl's hobby bench. I stopped in front of him and said, "Why don't you sit down? where I urged."

"I would like to ask you to go straight in. Since when did Kai know about Dee's spiritual powers (Spira) and her actions?

If I didn't sit down, I'd pull out the foreground, and Shayla just threw in the requirements. Intense anger and agitation blink in the eyes of the spring sky, and it also looks like a thunderbolt that rips clear weather.

Shayla's frustration was understandable to Kai, so she decided to skip the wasted one cushion.

"For once, I thought it was quick. Sure, it was about before the park fair. As my father told me, if you are a trained psychic (Spiricia), you can sense the spiritual power (Spira) and nucleus of others. Though, I'm not really good at figuring out other people's details like that. I know somehow, but I'm super tired of analyzing it clearly, so I left it 'for a while."

"... you're a psychic, too, aren't you?"

"In my case, my father, who picked me up, just happened to be a psychic (Spiricia), and I had qualities myself. Even though we don't need the power to live in this country, we don't have to be able to make the most of what we were born with. My father taught me how to use the streets."

"So you and the Black Lion are the only two spiritualists who are working with the Crestors in this kingdom?"

"Oh, you've moved on to that area. - Well, I can't say for sure either, because I don't know what kind of group the spiritualists (Spiricians) in this country are. Rather than Krester's...... isn't Dee's complete ally about us parents and kids so far?

"Really? Again..."

Shayla, who nodded and leaned down to think of something, looks up again without waiting so long.

"So what made you so sure about Dee's spiritual powers?

"I remember that clearly. - It was at the Descent Festival."

When the carriage to the Temple of Mist was raided and Deanna detached from the line. - I didn't make it to the scene of the raid, trying to follow the signs of Deanna who had escaped... realizing that I couldn't capture her as if she wasn't supposed to be that far away, and I tasted the fear of being eagled inside my body. Usually, I can't find Deanna anywhere near impossible, like escaping Kai, who uses "exploration" properly.

I gave up badly and desperately 'explored' and finally realized it. - That the 'woods' that are spreading around Kai, the numerous' lives' that live there, hide the signs of Deanna.

"I can influence and manipulate lives other than my own… Only a spiritual person (Spiricia) can do such a peculiar work. I was sure then. to Dee's spiritual power (spira) and its rarity."

"Notice... Still, what kept me quiet"

"The presence of spiritual power (Spira) and spiritual power (Spircia) has not been made public in this country, and most importantly, Dee himself was utterly indifferent to his power. You don't have to bother telling me to get up or strain me for nothing."

"... only to protect Dee, is it?

"What other reason? The Miracle Power of" Princess of the Forest "...... is that it? You're so Dee, you don't have too much power for Dee to have."

Even though, she's a daughter who spares no scraping herself for others. Do everything you can to try to be the best you can be. The figure is beautiful and attractive, but at the same time it looks terribly dangerous.

I can easily imagine that if Deanna were to wake up to something like "the power to give life to others," she would give it up until she quickly crossed the limit, even if it wasn't Kai or Shayla.

Shayla, listening to Kai, take a deep breath once quietly.

"... To be honest, I don't think I like you. I know you're capable, and I know you're going to be in a higher category, both as a person and as a man, but still."

"Can you either praise me or disparage me? I'm having trouble reacting."

"Because I don't want you to react. You always only matter about Dee, and I don't even hate destroying the world if it's for Dee. … in a way the most dangerous person to be beside Dee"

"Why don't I break the world for Dee and Dee awakens his spiritual powers to save the broken world?

"... impossible, can you say enough?

"- As I said before, it's Dee's happiness that should make him take precedence over me. I'm not going to forgive whoever, what things, for harming it. … that's the same thing for me."

"Really? For one thing, I believe that your words are only" depending on the circumstances, don't be too chronic. "

"Thanks for your concern."

... Kai glances at Shayla in a way because she's going to cut in this way. As Shayla doesn't see Kai as a favorite, Kai also doesn't like Shayla by mistake, but she still appreciates her acumen, her speed of conversation and, above all, her mental strength.

Perhaps - we are, in one respect, very similar. The way you hold a heavy and intense emotion that could even crush your opponent at times looks just like it did in the mirror.

If we are unconscious, we are still so calm as to be vain that we have become aware of the dangers of heavy and intense emotions. That's why you can smell the same kind of emotions, and you understand the danger better than anyone else.

(... from the beginning, you didn't care)

Shayla looks stubborn, but her insides are pretty tough. The only time you get weak is when you have a stray in your feelings and where you're going, and you have the strength to only look forward and move forward without it. The way things are viewed is sensible and unrelated to the immediate, sensory narrowing of field of view that is flushed by rumors and emotions around you. In the only love affair, humility seems to have passed, but it is also being overcome by the King's fervent expression of affection.

From the beginning. That was when Deanna was dealing with her voice alone as' Dee ', Shayla from Kai was not so weak that Deanna had to do her best to protect her physically and mentally. Such a daughter admires Deanna as her "best friend," and although she is a different vector from love, she turns her attention to a fairly long way.... in every sense, there's no way it's funny.

"... what is it? You have a very noisy face."

"Beetle? If Mr. Shayla was a man, I'd just think he was seriously screwed."

"If my gender were a man, there would be no curtain for you to come out in the first place. - No matter who you fight, you will never give up Dee's" closest. "

"... this is why I don't like you, about Mr. Shayla. I wish you'd think of King Sama alone."

"The mind that thinks of Your Majesty and your feelings for Dee are another thing. I'm not as narrow as Kai, so it's possible to make love and friendship live together."

"Heh heh. I'm glad you're clever. If you tell me, love, but friendship, it's just not funny that someone like Mr. Shayla thinks Dee so deeply. If it's the one that doesn't matter, you can kick it, but seriously, Mr. Shayla is someone with just enough vessels to support and protect Dee.... I know you can count on me, but I'm still annoyed"

"You are the one who praises others and despises them. Kai's appetite for exclusivity is not what I know."

It is said to be Zubari and the feeling of "uninteresting" is further accelerated.... Yes, in the end, Kai and I understand that when we face our own mood that doesn't care about Shayla, we end up with a narrow amount of ourselves, so we don't like Shayla too much because of that.

One day, Deanna was freed from all sorts of clutter and was free to choose the path she wanted to take, then. I thought I'd choose my friendship with Shayla best and stay beside her of my own free will. Though I say calmly that it is impossible, I have such worries because I know the strength of Shayla's vessel and the depth of my emotions.

- Exhale, ha, as you exhale inner frustration.

When I felt my gaze and explored the signs, I detected "two" things in the first room upstairs.... Speaking of which, did you see this backyard in full view from the rooms filled with him?

"... talk, it's so different, come on"

"That's abrupt. What is it?

"Mr. Shayla and King Sama are getting along properly, are we making progress?

"Huh!??

Shayla's eyes become rounded and her face turns red at the same time. Kai wanted to be a little rusty after a moment of glossy sensation in his eyes.

"Uh enough, I understood there. Seriously, if you have a good romantic relationship, I want you to leave me alone."

"Understand, I haven't said anything yet!?

"Even if I don't tell you, I can tell by the reaction. If Mr. Shayla's happy, Dee's gonna be happy too, so it's okay if you keep flirting with me, okay? That King Sama, there are many anxiety elements as King Sama because honesty passes, but there is no question about romance ~"

"... Could it be that you're having fun with my reaction?

"No way. It's pure truth. Oh, if someone like that loves you, you'll even nurture love in a gentle way, so you look good for a type like Mr. Shayla, don't you?... because some people can easily distort us."

"Someone named you... really, you can't dress your teeth"

Deep, deep, exhale.

Shayla finally sat quietly on the bench behind her.

"... to be honest, I'm a little, scared"

"Scared? What?

"Thou saith, … Your Majesty's, kindness"

"... oh, that's the thing"

Conversations with Shayla are extremely rare because they are "of the same kind". Even if I don't exhaust my words, I can understand them quite deeply with one word or two.

For a moment, look up. Kai smiled, just a little.

"... Believe me, isn't that good? That guy's heart is soft, but it's not brittle."

"It's... I know, I'm going to"

"- Well, do we have to believe all this as we overlap our time together"

Shayla is well aware of the weight of her emotions. That's why I'm anxious to see how much emotion, "love heart", can weigh, even if it doesn't stop working. Because emotions that are too heavy can crush them.

Juke's kindness accelerates Shayla's thoughts and turns her heavier emotions to Juke. If it continues to be extended, will the day come when one day one's own thoughts will become a burden for the juke? If you're going to throw me out as a burden, yet, because the gentle juke will continue to take Shayla's emotions unimpeded... if you push, crush, and distort the kindness itself.

- If I speak for fear of Shayla's anxiety, will this be the place for the most part? Blah, blah, blah. Let Kai tell you, Juke is the bearer of a strong mentality in a juke and in a different direction from Shayla, so I can only see a future soaked with joy, no matter how heavy Shayla's emotions crumble, but it would be pointless where I told Shayla that. If fear can be dispelled to the extent that others have told you, you don't worry about it in the first place.

"Nothing to be afraid of or anxious about, but stay close to King Sama properly. Otherwise, Dee might be distracted and voluntarily add more extra work."

"In the end, it's Dee where Kai gets to, isn't it? I knew it, though."

"On the contrary, what else do you want me to think other than about Dee? Dad's feeling better, and from now on, we're just going to focus on making Dee happy."

"… what am I saying, Kai should make a few more efforts to build your own" precious "shelves?

"Uh, is my shelf that small?

"Hey seriously, I'm starting to want to advise Dee..."

The secret conversation with the princess, who eventually settles down to Deanna no matter what she's talking about, continues, albeit less friendly -.

■ ■ ■ ■ ■

The early summer flowers bloom in the backyard from the window.

Sitting on a bench where such flowers were placed in an easy position to watch, Shayla had directed a variety of expressions that she would not normally show to Juke to a secret that Deanna trusted more than anyone else.

On angry faces, bewildered faces, anxious faces...... even reddish or painful faces, in many ways.

Alford is easily upset next to Juke when he visits Juke's room to rub his plans together and accidentally finds the two of them in the backyard. Juke also noticed two people in the backyard because Alford looked down the back yard through the window and became suspicious of behavior. The two voices are small and can't even hear what they're talking about, but I can tell about how Shayla's doing differently than usual.

"... hey, Alford"

"Become, what!?

"... I guess I don't rely on it"

"What?"

"At least for Shayla, I'm still not a man I can count on to uncover my troubles..."

"Wait, wait! What are you talking about?

"What... isn't Shayla talking to Kai about something bothering her?

At least Shayla's expression is "negative" if judged positive or negative. I wonder if people with faces like that are often interpreted as "having something troubling."

Having heard Juke's words, Alford exhaled for a long time, looking relieved to see.

"Oh good... I thought I'd be angry at you for saying that Master Shayla was working the untruths..."

"Untrue? Shayla did?... I don't care what you think, it would be far from the secret meeting scene between a man and a woman who held it"

"... just to be perfectly clear, have you seen it?

"Well, don't you know how much the royal palace is being used like that?" Since childhood, I have been used to seeing intimate meetings between men and women. "

"No, that's not the way the royal palace was supposed to be used, is it? Even if it happens frequently at the level that Prince Wang is used to, it's not a good idea?

"Seems so. Until now, I have thought that the aristocracy, where couples are close, is a rare exception, and it is normal for both couples to surround their mistresses in every house, but Uncle and Mrs. Crester are very close."

"It's not uncommon for a couple to be as close as Dear Dualis and Elizabeth... either way, it's not normal to surround your mistress."

"... again, don't realise how biased my growing environment has been"

In response to Alford, I turn again to the two people in the backyard. He still wasn't to blame for feeling Kai and his gaze fit for a moment earlier. While talking to Shayla, Kai's gaze rises irregularly from time to time. To Juke, that seemed like a silent signal from Kai, "Don't worry, there's no one to feel guilty about."

"... if I were in a secret meeting, I'd be very concerned."

"Did I say something?

"Nothing. More than that, Alford, can you give me an answer earlier?... Will I still not rely on you? No, I know how far away I am from a man I can count on."

"Uh..."

Alford cuts his words once and peeks downstairs, twisting his neck several times before returning his gaze.

"You can't talk to me about you in the first place before you can't count on me."

"Me related consultation?

"If Master Shayla were to consult Kai in any way, would she feel advised by the same male gaze and be a romantic-related concern? Anyway, I can't tell Teng personally that I'm worried about my relationship with you in the middle of something that's bothering me."

"Oh...... I see"

I have a point about Alford's explanation. Although I had lost my mind because my relationship with Shayla had been so good lately, when my relationship with Shayla had lagged behind myself, I had talked to Deanna in a mix of stupidity. Sure, I don't think I can give that consultation to Shayla herself.

To the nodding juke, Alford twisted his neck again.

"All I can think about is allekore in relation to Miss Deanna... because some stories seem quicker to ask Kai with Miss Deanna"

"That could be it, too. But the truth is, what's going on between those two?

"Huh? Those two... Miss Deanna and Ky?

"Ah. Both Edward and Red Rose said something like 'collaborator and close friend'... does that look like it?

"That's what I mean to ask...... you say it doesn't look like that to your eyes?

"... To be honest, I don't know. I know Kai cares so much about red roses, and that's the same with red roses. If they say" collaborator and close friend, "I guess so."

"... what's caught?

"What, it's not a big deal, maybe it's my fault. - Sometimes, really, but sometimes the red rose with Kai doesn't look like a" red rose. "

Earlier, so was Deanna when she was brewing tea to Kai. Her shattered expression and tone should have been quite familiar in the rear palace through Shayla and the 'named' ones, but even then she looked different. "You're close," I accidentally pinched my mouth, but Deanna, who answers that, was already the usual 'red rose'.

"... assuming, if. If Miss Deanna and Kai's friends were other things that weren't 'friends', what would you do?

unexpectedly. It sounded quiet but strange and heavy, and Alford asked. When I look up a little surprised, my gaze hits Alford with an unexpectedly serious look.

Chew what was asked and swallow. Juke was light and smiled bitterly.

"... I must apologize"

"To whom?

"To the red rose...... Kai. To Edward, Mr. and Mrs. Crester. There are too many other people to apologize for."

"How do you apologize?

"That, of course." I can't say it's good to leave the rear house right now, I'm sorry I'm a powerless king, "he said."

Words I felt sorry for just thinking about, but the pity is actually more pronounced when it comes to sound. "The laughter disappeared from the bitter laughter, just a bitter face, and Juke let down one breath.

"Now, if the Red Rose leaves the rear palace, this country will not stand. Unfortunately...... I can't do it without her if she asks me if I want to outrun the radical conservative onslaught in the outer house. Whatever relationship Red Rose and Kai actually had, I still can't lose Deanna Crester as Red Rose."

"So... you're not going to blame me for the untruth, are you?

"Untrue?"

I tilted my neck for a moment not knowing what they said, but I immediately understood what it meant and opened my eyes.

"You don't mean to blame the thought of a man other than me for the fact that the Red Rose is a" side room "!? Even though I don't love the Red Rose myself, I want chastity unilaterally and behave less than the outside world!

"No, you are!? Normally it is!? You seem to have forgotten, but you are the king, she is the sideroom, and royal common sense is that the sideroom is loved or loved by the king, but only the king swears chastity!

"Such" royal common sense "and so on, it sneezes round and throws it away in the crumbs!!

After yelling at him with reflexes, Alford pained that he had merely preached public common sense, and Juke quickly dropped the item.

"No... I'm sorry. And this is because I admitted to something called" The Back Palace. "

"Juke......"

"Anyway, whatever the relationship between Red Rose and Kai is, I'm not going to make any accusations. No, I can say that to everyone but Shayla, not just the Red Rose. That's all you have to understand."

"Okay."

After nodding, Alford laughs a little.

"Steady, 'sneeze it round and throw it in the scraps' hey... I can't believe there's a day coming when I can hear such a vulgar phrase from your mouth"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm so cute"

"Don't apologize, it was just ridiculous that it was obviously Ed's influence"

I'm told, I realize. Edward in the style of laughing and kicking common sense with his nose, when it comes to something, he says, "Such a legend, trash it and throw it away," but in a verbal execution, he breaks the "legend." Because of him, before he even knew it, he felt much less pressured by "common sense" and "custom".

Alford also seems to agree, laughing and nodding over and over again.

"It's good to take care of tradition, but it doesn't make sense if that's the way you want to go. That insane looking scammer does a good job once in a while too"

"... I've always thought Alford was terrible for Edward for what he did?

"You, how much do you think I've been swayed by him? I don't think you're gonna hit a bee after all this."

To Alford's expulsion, Juke stood up and laughed...

Edward and Deanna.

Kai and Shayla.

Juke and Alford.

At a time when each, it was a sermon, a discourse or a conversation, was going on soothingly, no one had yet noticed that a fast horse had rushed into Crestor territory announcing a crisis.

"From Emperor Stanza, a protégé arrives.

"In the coming summer, a goodwill mission representing the Imperial Prince will be sent to the Kingdom of Elland."

Together - '

That when Keith's running writing, who had been entrusted with his absence at the Royal Palace, could be delivered to the Count of Crestor's mansion, it would mark the end of peace between the bundles, a new beginning -
