The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

For those who only know darkness from birth, dazzling light can only be a murder weapon that burns out the eyes and brain.

She whispered - it was the light for him.

Prince XXIII of the Stanza Empire, Exiga Asser Stanzaum.

This was the identity and name he was given the moment he was born. My father was Emperor Stanza, and my mother was a maid who went up to the rear palace (Halem) together to serve the emperor's newly held side chamber… She was a helpless girl, separated from her family to be taken away by the thought of a man who was born beautifully and who wanted to glamorize her daughter's room, which would be a side room to attract the Emperor's interest.

The emperor, who visited the newly entered side room, liked the samurai who secretly refrained beside her rather than the side room itself. I went to the side room and loved my favorite samurai, and the child who was able to do so was Exige. I hear that the mother who gave birth to him suffered from poor postpartum fatigue, and that she became unhappy with my child, who was born. It was only by being called a prince that Xyga grew up secluded in the corner of the rear palace, without even being held responsible for a dispute over the right to inherit the throne because of her too low mother's identity. The side chamber, which is supposed to be the Lord of my mother, has a jealous character, and there are circumstances in which my own maiden, my daughter, could not have been more conspicuous because she could not allow herself to have secretly been through with the Emperor and hated about the Exiga she was born into.

Exigea's place at an early age, when there was no place in the posterior palace, is a dim corner of the library. It wasn't that I was interested in books, it was simply the result of the Stanza Empire's quest for a cool place that wasn't popular because the daytime sunlight could scorch my skin. Nothing in particular he did. There, while learning to read and write letters to the occasional visiting adults, he grew up reading books to his opponents. The adults who use the library are mostly low-status officials, and the young man is increasingly immersed in the library because Xyga treated him without scorn, even the prince of the maiden belly. - By the way, the library where Exiga was immersed was a facility outside the rear palace (Halem) normally used by officials, and it was strictly forbidden for the pre-adult princess to leave the rear palace, so technically, Exiga was a deserting prince, but the adults at the time had managed to deceive me around it.

While Exiga did so and grew up secluded, several more women were held in the rear palace, and several siblings were born… However, there were not many children who were able to grow up safely, and about five of the brothers above traveled to the afterlife. Exiga's fraternal ranking rolled up to become eighteen princes, but that's only a theory of results, too. The Stanza Empire is recognized as an adult at the age of thirteen for both men and women, as well as marriage and holding official positions, but it is the path of study that the adult Exiga chose. The army enlistment was Theory to get up quickly in the Stanza Empire, a war power, and Exiger knew that, but he didn't want to be noticed by his brothers, who were weirdly noticeable and in a fight to inherit the throne.

Admitted to the university school, the highest school of the Stanza Empire, with royal privilege, Exiga revealed a glimmering headline there. A tremendous amount of knowledge and knowledge lurked within him, accustomed to books from an early age, unconsciously himself. In addition, his reading and comprehension skills, which grew up with books as mentors, were way out compared to those of his age. Although it did not specify the areas that it wanted to learn in particular, Exiga, who had made her yearn for the wider world through her books in a narrow library, would be attracted to nature, exotic and exotic languages, and would deepen her learning around the language and historical culture of the surrounding countries.

That's how I've liked the unexpected position for the good. I didn't mean for this to be involved in a critical phase that shapes the country's fate in this way -.

- Your Highness.

Not likely to be the Stanza Empire, Exiga, who was lost in thought as she looked out the window at a beautifully groomed garden with deep greenery (though now it's night, just blurry), was summoned by the familiar voice of her men and looked back quietly.

"Samba. Hey, what's up?

"What's wrong, it's not. Aren't you off?

"... I'm blinded."

I answered with a bitter smile, but on the long side of my relationship, I guess the answer was what I expected. In Samba's hand was a tray with a cup standing in hot air.

"Go ahead. I'm done with the poison."

"As long as you're in this country, you don't seem to be in danger of poisoning."

"Yep. People like it or swallow it... it's a peaceful country, not at all"

"But that's not all."

To Exiga's whining, Samba gets a serious look.

"Is it true? The princess of The Red Rose, in her conversation with His Highness, read the meaning of our country.

"To see how the princess is doing, I'm sure. I'm going to get your understanding, but I dug the grave.... my downfall."

"I don't think that princess is that smart and insightful."

"I guess that's because you don't have the experience to talk to her face to face. If you are ejected by the light of the bottomless Hyung-chul in the eyes of that beautiful Aokai, you have to understand the pointlessness of taking care of it."

The clandestine life that must be accomplished by the Stanza State Mission, which stepped on the land of the Kingdom of Elland with the title of "Goodwill" - to increase the number of inside detectives in the Kingdom of Elland and their insiders in the Royal Palace. The Exigers are the spirits of intelligence in the forthcoming Elland offensive.

- The Stanza Empire, where Exiga was born, is a warring nation that has extended its territory and enriched its country by war. The history of Stanza is that of war, and its force does not allow other follow-ups.

But there are also limited territories that can be expanded. For the first time in history, the Stanza Empire was experiencing an era without major wars, since it had extended its territory to the north to the edge of the continent and to the south to the front of the desert zone. Nevertheless, there are frequent minor insurgencies at the ends of the territory, so the war itself has not been eliminated only by the absence of a full-scale war of expansion.

The next aim of the empire, which flattened the land that followed, was an unknown kingdom beyond the sea. An incredible country protected by mysterious fog - the Kingdom of Elland - which, like the Stanza Empire, has achieved peninsular unity by battle and yet has since lived a world free of war for more than three hundred years. The empire, which has been looking at entering Elland for generations, has first encouraged the merchants to come and go in an attempt to tame the presence of the Stanza Empire from private exchanges. While gently distracting the intermediaries among the merchants they go to and regularly report on the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Elland.

What emerged from the intermittent report was the appearance of a rich kingdom blessed with a more fertile land than imagined and a mild national identity that did not favour calm and strife. This would make it easier to calm down when the time comes - I hear the emperor at the time was so happy, but I can see that the less it is and the story is not going to go so easily.

One day the kingdom of Elgrand, wary of the sudden arrival of exotic merchants and considerably restricting their movements, suddenly took the helm off to a complete ban on dealings with exotic countries. It has also communicated a broad acceptance not only of the Stanza Empire, but also of all neighbouring countries, and that they will trade with equal treatment. The imperial side, which was just out of range to the countries further ahead of the Kingdom of Elland, hesitated and rushed to investigate… naturally, all neighbouring countries with some national power find themselves looking to enter Elland. If you attack with force in this state, the invaders will stigmatize you from those who target the kingdom in the same way, and vice versa.

At the time, we were only able to keep abreast of how things were going, and in the end, we had to focus on extending our territory to the desert region of Guili - and then it was time for the current emperor's patience to approach its limits, as more than fifty years had passed, still unable to grasp the foothold of peace. It may also be said that the content of the reports from the two parties has gradually diminished and that there is little novel information these days. When it comes to information on kingdom centres and armies, which are essential for peace, it seems that only those that are not so useful, such as the call for office and the discipline of soldiers, come in. Now you won't even be able to determine where and how to attack where you sent your soldiers, and your commander will have trouble.

It was last year that the good news jumped in to the emperor and his neighbors who were twitching and twitching. It was information that King Elland had taken his place and that the new king's creation of a massive rear house was disrupting internal affairs. Exploring further, we now have information that in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Elland, the nobles are divided into several factions to contend and weaken the power of the king, who is supposed to have the final say, that the establishment of the rear palace is its manifestation, that the king welcomes the villain and the famous daughter to the side chamber head without being able to stop the rampage under his subordinates, but also into that evil woman while being put on board the surrounding thoughts.

There is no reason to miss this opportunity. The emperor immediately decided to cut into the centre of Elland by thoughtful means. That "thoughtful means" is the "Stanza Empire Goodwill Mission" formed this time.

("In the name of goodwill, unless otherwise confidential, we are free to look around in Elland and exchange words with royalty and leading domestic figures in a dignified way. At the same time, he uses the fact that he can't speak to those below to behave with dignity and dare to make his mind feel bad about Stanza, thus inviting an attack from the Elland side softly...... it should have worked. Until I met the princess in the back of the house that day)

Its bad reviews rang all the way to the Stanza Empire, and the side-room lead, Deanna Crester - commonly known as "The Red Rose" - is whispered locally as "The Worst Bad Girl of All Time". Since rising as a side chamber, he says he has boned the king with beauty and colour, leaving him in power at will (as he wishes). Speaking of which, Stanza Momentum was grinning at the typical reputation of a self-evident woman who is often in the rear palace. It is not uncommon or irrelevant in stanzas, such as a woman who obtains the emperor's patronage with her own specialties such as beauty, affection and sexuality as a weapon, and who seeks to gain the power to move the entire palace as well as the rear palace. Rather, the ultimate goal of a woman who aspires to enter the rear palace as a side chamber would be "it". Elland's backyard appears to be subtly different in nature from Stanza's backyard (Halem), but there are similar women everywhere.

Born and raised in the rear palace of Stanza (Harem), Exiga is accustomed to the appearance of such a woman, and a woman with a strong desire for power can be seen in the atmosphere. Even if we go together in the rear palace, it's easy to be good and flexible. That's what he thought, and within the day of his arrival in the Wang capital, Exiga offered to look inside the rear palace. I was aware of King Elland's request to "follow the guidance under his minister within the royal palace," but I dare to interpret that as an enlarged interpretation of "I guess I can go anywhere if I have guidance".

A woman seeking power is savvy to her own interests, and if she finds that if she cooperates with Stanza, she will get a bigger reward than she is now, she will be her birthplace, but she will betray her easily. In fact, that's how the historical emperor Stanza has kept the information he wants in his hands by caging women close to those in power in the other country. We also need a collaborator in the man's world, but women are more user-friendly to cut off the other country from the inside out. - It was only an excellent target for Xega, such as the "Bad Girl", who received the patronage of King Elland all by herself and is using his position to sing the spring of our world.

(I didn't know you, the princess, were such a far cry from the rumors... I should have known that people's rumors didn't always tell the truth. that both the Mistress and the Emperor were bewitched by the blind people of Elland)

Samba looks complicated about what he thought to Exiger, who smiled bitterly with sarcasm.

"You won't need to be taken so seriously. If you act alone, there is no one to blame for His Highness's behavior tonight. I saved the princess of the Red Rose, who was about to be harmed by a disrespectful nobleman, and kept her away from the murmurs of her heartless surroundings."

"Even that would have seemed like a farce to the princess to flex herself. … maybe you've decided that the very actions of that disrespectful man were a trap set by us (Stanza)"

"Hey... no matter how much, we can't come up with that kind of short-circuit trap. Just in case, I'll check with the regiment."

"Ah. It's unlikely, just in case."

A very few of the members of this national mission are fluent in the Ellandic language. Specifically Exiga herself and Samba here, and a few others. The work of those who solve the languages of both countries is plain much, and there would not have been time to hold such a mindless man in his arms for less successful measures, but there are times in the world just in case.

- The heartfelt proximity laughed small at Exiga, who exhaled briefly.

"I didn't expect the day to come when His Highness would be so obsessed with one woman."

"I guess. I myself am surprised."

"I only see it in the distance, because you are such a beautiful princess?

"Of course you are beautiful as your appearance shines. More than that, you have a great mind, and most importantly, you are very smart.... I've never met a woman like that."

"Though the reputation of the Elgland nobility seems to be poor for"

"The Elgland nobility is not the only one. Neither you nor the rest of the entourage realize the essence of the princess as one."

"I see nothing worse than a princess than what the Ellandic aristocrats say. I've never actually met you and talked to you, so I can't even judge."

"Those high-ranking officials who saw the princess with me that day in the backyard were rather cursing at the evil, saying, 'She's a princess who's more vicious and arrogant than rumors.' It's really strange why we conclude that way in that exchange."

"Because His Highness says so much, I spoke in detail to the people he was with that day."

"Huh. Don't be shy, Samba"

"What do you think? Ladies and gentlemen, it was a mess. 'It seems like something of a woman with a strong heart, such as going out of her way to greet her in Stanza and tease us about her identity. Not even in front of His Royal Highness, who is the prince of Stanza, he just said," Who do you think I am? "or," Your Highness switched to Ellandic with care, but even that naturally gave me an arrogant grin "… Later, some of you said," I didn't know who Your Highness is and that you would do the color trick sooner... as rumored, she was a woman without prospects. "

"... you'll see too much of what you can't see. Elland, you can't laugh at the emptiness of nobility's head."

This time the national mission intends to elect those of the Stanza court that are still in the better category, even among the ones overflowing with those who only have the mind to gain self-preservation and rights… if even those of them are like this, just think about how much corruption is going on in the Stanza court.

I look at Exiga, who dropped her shoulder thinking about the end of the court while she was in other personnel, and Samba asks me strangely, more intriguing than that.

"Really, Your Highness, you respect the Red Rose princess. How did you see the princess in His Highness's eyes that day?

"The princess of the day, or..."

In the words of Samba, Exiga's heart stands back to that day.

An unpopular corridor guided through a strong demand to enter the royal palace in Elland and see the rear palace. Though a guest, it's just not sweet enough to suddenly lead a group of men from an exotic country into the living space of the side rooms... a view full of light that popped into the eyes of the Exiga who was walking thinking...

It nevertheless looks like a cut apart world or a majestic religious painting has moved unexpectedly. - In a vortex of jealousy and desire, malice and killing, it was so dazzling for Exiga, who had so painfully survived, that it didn't even seem like it belonged in this world.

Exiger quietly looks back at Samba waiting for this word.

"... right. For me, the princess of that day must have been equal to the light itself.

Yes, he opened his mouth again to talk about his encounter with the Red Rose Princess.
