The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl
Early Morning Operations Conference
"... So, you got something to say?
"... I honestly didn't think I could make it this far"
"So I should have turned down the tea party itself from the start, right?
"Really. I know the reasoning Dee was saying, but as far as I'm concerned, blah, blah, blah, blah. 'The prospect was sweet'.... in many ways"
Approximately a week from the tea party when Deanna accidentally made it hard on her prince opponent in Stanza to tell the truth. In front of Kai and Shayla, who used the weekly Orthodox Queen's Day of Education and Rest to travel to "Between the Red Roses" in the morning, Deanna was the feather to drop her shoulders and receive two sermons.
The reason is clear. Because Prince Stanza, who took the qualifying word "His Majesty immediately received the right to visit the Red Rose" at that tea party, was visiting Deanna's place almost day after day, during the afternoon tea time.
"Look at that. I'm not going to tell you," Deanna sighs in front of the two people on her big, fat face.
"If Prince Stanza comes to us for the cage purpose of" The Red Rose, "he will ignore and reject as many questions as he wants.... blah blah, all the questions you can bring are at a high level, you just don't even seem to have that question in the first place if you have to study properly, and you have a sharp focus. So I stuck with them for real..."
"... Mr. Chris also said," Come on, do you mean the Krester family's desire for knowledge or willingness to study, can't you just put 'knowledge' aside for a moment in view of its habit, time and circumstances, which you want to extremes everywhere?
"............ I hear your brother used to be mad at your sister-in-law too, and your mother has scolded your father for what she heard, but if someone told you and you want enough to keep it aside, you don't think you can inherit 'sage' on a thousands of years basis..."
"Uh... does Crestor's desire for knowledge come from the quality of spiritual power (spira) in one way or another? If so, it's tough to fight..."
"Is that what it is?
"It depends on the nucleus you were born with, but when it feels like seeing the Crestor people, they're just as accommodating as mine, aren't they? Similar reasoning to the fact that I can only use spirituality in the field of force on my own."
"That means that the mystery of 'Sage' may be solved if you look deeply into spiritual power (spira) and nucleus!?
"Yeah. Maybe, but shall we look into that after we keri on the issue in front of us"
Where I was excited about the mysterious clues to the 'Wise Men' that the Crestors had been working on for years, I was lightly flushed by Kai.... and that's exactly what Deanna knows now is not the time to study such a thing at length.
(I thought if the tea party ended without a thing, Kai's mood would go back to normal...)
It's just unexpected that Deanna deserves to be accidentally cleaned, but that's why she comes here so often. I turned it down once, and the visiting time more than doubled the day after that (for turning it down for the day, the amount of questions was increasing), so I'm not going to say no after that.... because Deanna and I aren't tired of talking man-to-man with a man who's not so forgiving, even though he's in his territory called the Back Palace.
And this situation, in which Deanna is being gouged by the prince, was naturally taken bitterly by all concerned. Kai, among other things, has been wary of the Prince twice as many people since the beginning, and has always been in a rather bad mood there. I feel sorry for Deanna, no matter how bad she's in the mood, around not hitting her with Darkless Arrow Cod, someone who was only one thing different from Deanna but was humanly made.
This current situation, which continues to give Kai hard work, is not something that we want to continue to do for a long time, of course, for Deanna. The Stanza embassy managed to deviate from the prince's interests and asked the outer chamber and the Marquis of Stresia to cooperate, but the Stanza embassy was good at its approach to securing time for the prince and Deanna. I want to hit eight when I get here, asking me to show that competence more elsewhere.
"... hey, by the way"
The conversation was interrupted and Shayla's voice, modest but unshakeable, broke the silence she had visited indoors. As Deanna turns her gaze, Shayla slowly spins her words as she shows a slight bare gesture of thinking.
"What does Dee think of His Royal Highness the Prince of Stanza?
"Mr. Shayla......?
"What... is that about his thoughts and schemes?
"There's that, too, but I simply want to hear what you think as a human being.... you're talking about Dee, so you're trying to see the person's humanity properly, even if it's someone you're not alarmed about, right?
The back of my chest hurts complicated by questions that convey Shayla's trust.... Surely there have been many things I have seen in various conversations with the prince this past week.
"Right.... I'm guessing he's not a bad person."
To Deanna, who quietly affirmed, Kai and Shayla breathed all together.
To the reaction of the two, Deanna shook her head to the side with a bitter smile.
"Maybe the" question "to him for me is just an excuse to make contact with the" Red Rose ". But even if it's an excuse, his attitude toward learning is very sincere and honest. The values and mindset of the Kingdom of Elland may deny the very way the Stanza Empire is, depending on the thing, but he is not even refusing it, but trying to understand it retroactively as far as' why such values were born '"
Neither Kai nor Shayla pinch their mouths to Deanna's words. Breathe briefly, Deanna closed her eyes.
"Maybe he's someone who can take care of 'knowledge', learning in the essential parts.... and because I don't think there's anything I really care about at all, and I'm an incompatible bad guy in an essential part of who can respect and properly care for it"
There is only a willingness and respect for new knowledge in his eyes to learn the Kingdom of Elland. The questions I bring to Deanna, whatever the pretexts, are all that I know I must have really questioned. While also doing the work of the national ambassador firmly, I studied hard in my free time and greedily - above all sincerely trying to find out about the 'Kingdom of Elland' - I understood.
Because of his stature, he is very serious and honest in his essential parts, although he has some proprietary aspects. Someone who can take care of important things without being alone. … at least not something Deanna would never understand.
- I was surprised at Deanna's words and smiled only slightly bitterly at the two of them, who were solidifying without even being able to speak.
"... but that's it"
"..., eh?
"Dee... yeah, really? Don't you think we'd like to have a deeper understanding?
"Yep. 'Cause... it's not me, it's Sire and Shayla who should really understand and build friendship with him."
Now, Kai and Shayla's eyes are aligned and round. Sheila, especially named, got a pompous look.
"Wow, me?
"'Cause, right? Prince Stanza has always said,' If royalty can get to know each other closely '. I'm not royal in the first place, and I don't plan to be this ancestral family, and then if it comes to who will build friendship with him or the Stanza Empire, His Majesty, you who will be His Majesty's wife, and your children who will soon be born - the future royal family of Elland."
"Dee......"
... To be honest, I just said the obvious and I didn't think it would be more flashy. As it stands, Deanna is only acting on behalf of the Queen by the name of "Red Rose," so if Sheila were to become the Queen - or even before that, I thought it was the established route to move the business one by one.
"Dee, is that good?
Slightly, Shayla asked me with a horrible, serious face. I don't know what the question means, Deanna tilts her neck.
"Is that good...?
"An exotic prince who can take care of 'knowledge', right? Is there anything personal about Dee that you want to get close to?
"... Well, if you get to know His Royal Highness personally, you'll get to know the Stanza Empire better. But honestly, even if I don't stick to my personal twat with the royal family, I can feel the country's history and terroir on my skin if I go there, and the opportunity to learn is rolling. I don't feel the need to set it up and get close to the prince, and I don't think you want to be able to get close in this situation."
Of course, Deanna and I are tired and troublesome to have to remain vigilant about someone whose humanity is not so bad, so I would normally like to talk to you if there were ever to come a day when the Stanza Empire would really change its policies and make friendships with the Kingdom of Elland. In the first place, Deanna is not good at all at so-called noble intelligence, where she insists on vigilance and peeps into the opponent's gaps while beautifully manipulating the surface. Until just before I made my social debut, I was just relaxing with the people in peaceful Crestor territory, so I'm not used to being alert to the other person per se. Two years of social experience and last year's allekore in the rear palace made it somewhat better, but it helps to have one or fewer of those opponents because it is tiring to talk only sneerily first while still vigilantly exploring them.
- To Deanna's assertion, Shayla blinks her eyes again and again.
"Really? It's kind of surprising..."
"Why?"
"Dee's lack of bottom line in her intellectual appetite is something she spent enough time with in Crestor to know too much. If that's Dee, I can use all my tea time to argue... because I was so worried that I might want to be closer to someone who's greedy enough to argue with Dee first. Besides, if you're exotic... if you're going to show me Dee's favorite, unknown world, it's better."
"Well... I won't deny it, and I hope we can talk more about it someday, though. Now that Stanza is a virtual enemy, this is the limit, and I have no desire to be particularly close until I push away His Majesty or Shayla."
While laughing and answering, Deanna secretly wraps her tongue around Shayla's analysis.
(Sure...... it started to seem like this because Kai got rid of my assumptions)
If he had remained a geese in the service of the 'Red Rose', his involvement with His Royal Highness the Prince, who breathes new values into Deanna, would have been more attractive, and he might have desperately missed his connection to a world he doesn't know, a new world to show. If he favoured Deanna, it is very likely that he would have indulged, along with his obstinacy in the aristocratic society of the Kingdom of Elland.
Now Deanna can rush the Prince's "Stanza-style Social Dictionary" because she had the experience of spending time in the backyard. Because I can now believe that although there may indeed be many people who don't understand each other, if we face them properly and with all our heart, they will always reach those who do.
And most importantly...
(Kai's words, because there were -)
- One day, let's go. "Shoji," to see the house that used it and its township. If you can't even imagine it, it's actually quicker to look at it, right?
It shattered the invisible cage that was in front of Deanna, Kai's words. At that moment, Deanna learned that her future was endlessly spreading and free.
It is only natural that you can see it with your own eyes, hear it with your ears and feel it with your skin more deeply than you care to learn about the world you don't know in books and in people. I think Deanna's hands and feet can move as they please, and even though I can't be blamed for going anywhere, I didn't realize it was that simple until then. I was just thinking that I had to live for this country more than being a 'red rose'.
To Deanna like that, Kai gave me an infinite 'future'. He made me realize that the world was huge and could go anywhere he wanted.
So...... Deanna now doesn't remember so much envy for someone who knows the world she doesn't know. I'm sure the Prince knows the Stanza Empire well, but you can go to the Empire yourself if you want to, even without being bound by the 'Stanza Empire' he knows. It is much deeper and satisfies Deanna's intellectual curiosity.
I can't thank Kai enough - and when I looked at him in person, he stared back at Deanna, as if he were a little confused.
"... what's up, Dee?
"... I just thought you'd get it. Kai gave me a lot of things, so I can stay here without losing sight of what's really important."
"They lifted me up abruptly but... if you're gonna say that, I'm the one, aren't I? I met him as an enemy, but he listened to me properly, he helped me about my father, and... he accepts as a matter of course about us parents and children who do not even have Ellandic citizenship, rather than nobility. Without Dee, we wouldn't be laughing like this right now."
"I think it's harder to find someone who doesn't accept you parents and children..."
"Really? Your father's dark hair, his dark eyes, the color of my eyes are hard to accept in this country."
"You don't have to categorize people who play others for such a nagging reason into the same 'human' in the first place, although Lurie says it all the time. It's an old superstition that I don't even know where it came from."
Thora is a different race. Because of this, but as there are some examples of Lurie, black hair and dark eyes are usually born, even in a minority of the Kingdom of Elland. It was the doctrine of the Episcopal State of Ant, which bisects the Kingdom of Elland and this peninsula until roughly three hundred years ago, that made 'black' an object of exclusion as an abomination, and thus the habit of repelling black is still deeply rooted, especially west of the Mamia Great River. The truth is that the historical Elgland and Crestor families also continue to be attentive, but have not been able to pick it up enough, to prevent unjustified discrimination from occurring due to the physical characteristics of their birth.
Kai laughed a little at Deanna's assertion, giving Shayla a slightly more complicated look.
"Dee... would that be a distraction, a denigration of Kai's fruitful parents?
"Heh, that's unusual, Mr. Shayla. You care about me?
"I'll take care of it normally. What do you think I am?
"You think it's Mr. Shayla?
Kai and Shayla, who slap each other lightly, are also being asked about his general circumstances during his visit to Crester. Shayla and Ky don't talk too soothingly like "a kind of fellow hater," but I guess that's why we don't really hate each other apart. Shayla cares about Kai and vice versa, well, it's not a strange story otherwise.
Kai has a background of being picked up and raised by Sola where she was abandoned not long after she was born. The reason for the abandonment is unknown, but Sora, who picked it up, said, "Probably due to the color of Kai's eyes". Kai's purple blue eyes, as if he had photographed the night darkness, become closer to black in the dark. I hate my kid with those eyes, and I guess Kai's real parents gave up raising him -.
Deanna's opinion that those who discern others by the colour of their eyes are not even 'human' certainly does not disparage Kai's real parents by any means. - But.
"... to be honest, I'm glad Kai couldn't be raised by such a less than human being."
When he revealed his feelings in front of the two noisy people, Kai and Shayla's multiplication stopped perfectly.
With a bitter smile, Deanna continues.
"First of all, Kai doesn't think of your real parents as' parents' in their essential parts."
"Well. I think there's only one parent of mine, Sola the Black Lion."
"But... doesn't that bother you? I don't know where or who I am."
"Nothing? I'm the son of 'Sola the Black Lion' and his name is Kai. If that's all you know, isn't that too much?
"At last, you're an amazing operator in the back of society, still young but with the alias' Little Lion '. - Sure, if that's all you know."
I know why Shayla, who grew up alone with one father and daughter and has been treated cold by her uncle and his wife, guides the gratitude and difficulty of blood ties. … but the truth is that blood ties are not so important either.
"Blood relatives are the only things that have the power to make hair, eye color, and face look somewhat like parents and children. What matters is how you faced and raised your child at birth. What kind of bond did you have with the child? It's like Sola who raised Kai in the face and bonded with her parents and children, so I don't have a reason to honor someone somewhere who just has blood ties. Though I only thank you for bringing Kai safely into the world."
"Oh, really? I appreciate you throwing me away, too. Otherwise, I would never have been your father's son."
"In consequence theory, yes, but I think it would have been happier for Kai to be raised by Master Sola than someone who would have thrown the baby away on his own, too, but you should be angry that he was just thrown out into the cold with one eye color, right?
"Dad's still mad, but I'm not... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah Lucky for me to cut off the edge from the other side right after I was born, it felt about"
"... sorry, Dee. It seems that my care was also flawed because the parties' feelings were not very common."
"... yeah, that's not Shayla's fault"
If the abandoned Teng himself sees the fact as "lucky" rather than pessimistic, it's not worth it as much as a roadside stone, such as the matter and care for the parents of the fruit. On the other hand, when you do poorly, you persist in pushing and selling. "Thank you for annoying me. This topic will be easy to cut here.
And - as usual, the story is way off. In this case, should Deanna at the top of the statement modify the track?
"I don't care about me. Now you're talking about that prince."
When I thought about it, Kai told me back to crisp. Ugh, as opposed to Deanna stuck in words, Shayla nods with a bright look somewhere.
"Yep. But if Dee doesn't have any notable thoughts about His Royal Highness the Prince, there's no way that he or the Stanza Empire will have Dee in their hands, so isn't it a good idea to flush him to the point where he's not rude while being vigilant as ever?
"... you cared about that? There's so much to worry about."
"But the controversy with His Royal Highness was incandescent, wasn't it?
"Well, he's a sharp, brilliant scholar. But no matter how good a scholar he is, he won't turn his back on everyone because he's more attracted to the empire of Stanza than the kingdom of Elgrand."
"It means that your conversation with His Royal Highness seemed so exciting that even a moment of such concern floated. - Hey, Rita?
When Shayla asked Rita, who had been holding back in the corner of her private room for a long time, the trusted samurai snorted bitterly.
"I immediately denied that it was' impossible ', though. I'm used to seeing Crestors rap as if people had changed when it came to academic controversy... but on the contrary, if I tried to make Deanna such an unfamiliar' Between the Red Roses', Deanna always seemed to have more fun when talking to Her Royal Highness, I wondered if even Her Highness held her in any special affection, and that's what I've told her."
"Yep... even though misunderstanding is Crester's exclusive patent, it's just the first time I've been taken into account for my personal friendship with someone just because the argument was incandescent..."
"Crestors don't take their humanity into account in the first place when it comes to learning. No matter how much fun Crestor seems to be talking about it in academic terms, it's simply fun to have an academic argument, and it's not that you personally like the person you're dealing with."
"I wish you'd explained that to everyone..."
"I did, but Deanna, speaking to Her Royal Highness the Prince, seemed so excited..." I've never seen Deanna come here to look so much fun in the rear palace, "led by Yuri, and that's already depressing to you all"
"... you were not exhausted by Prince Stanza's daily visit, although you felt like the air in the room was somewhat heavy lately, you were worried about that"
"Yes. So I came all the way to Master Shayla early in the morning. If Deanna really cared about His Royal Highness, it wouldn't be a good idea to imitate her questioning too many people."
"No, yeah... I appreciate your concern, but it's a concern, isn't it?
"I've been telling you from the beginning, 'You don't have to go around like that, but ask Deanna directly and you'll get all the denials back.' I didn't feel anything because it was a sight I've been used to seeing since I was a kid, but the Crestors who came to have a high-level discussion seem to have so much fun. Yuri said," I know, but sometimes it's just in case. "
"... I'll apologize to Yuri later"
"Please"
I talked that far and realized it.... that Deanna seemed so amused that the 'Between the Red Roses' maids who had refrained from having a tea party with the Prince (a questioning party by the name) were so anxious.
"What, I don't think so, but Kai thought the same thing!? I thought I personally liked Prince Stanza!
"... Well, I didn't think that far, but you looked like you had fun"
"- Because you're not!?
For some reason, suddenly, a sudden feeling of impatience springs up. Standing up from the couch, hands on the low table, Deanna embarked on Kaihe himself in the front.
"As Rita said earlier, the fun is only because it's a high-level argument, not the opponent! I enjoy the argument about bumping" Know "about what's wrong with the" Sage "clan, but that's why I'm not short circuited enough to like the other guy right away!
"Hey, all right, take it easy, Dee."
"And I mean!
Keep your thoughts out of it - only rush is recruiting more and more.
"Because there's no way I want to be personal first with someone who just meets and talks to you and worries you so far! If I wasn't a 'Red Rose', I'd say no to seeing him a long time ago!!
The real thing that jumped out leaving the momentum to me rocked a deeper part of Deanna than I thought. In the depths of my heart, something tries to move deliberately.
But before we know who it is...
"... well"
Turning his eyes round, Kai was surprised by Deanna's momentum.
Fluffy -,. Because it's incredible, laughing with a beautiful face.
Taking away her eyes and heart, Deanna's thoughts stopped completely.
"... no, hey, me. There's still so much immaturity left for Dee to say."
"Huh..."
"But... thanks, Dee. I'm so selfish, but I'm, like, really happy right now."
"Uh... I'm not sure what the word means."
"You don't have to understand. Because I'm happy and I just want to thank Dee."
"... Truth is, Dee is good at pleasing Mr. Kai by the way. You shouldn't spoil him too much, should you?
As the words say, Shayla sighs deeply when she sees Deanna bewildered by Kai, who seems very, very happy. They're advising me, but the content doesn't make sense either. Or where in the crap of the moment was there an element to spoil Kai?
If you mean to spoil...
"... but if your discussion with His Royal Highness is becoming a source of concern for Kai and everyone, you should keep it modest so as not to get too excited from today on, right?
At least this much should be taken into account. Although I don't want to spoil Kai, the anxiety element I give him is better determined by one or less.
To Deanna's inquiry, Kai thought a little and then nodded slowly.
"If Dee enjoys it, I'd let him discuss it until he hearts it... but I think it's better not to be too intimate in any way with Prince Stanza. It's unnatural to suddenly lose your temper, so if you can take the stage and gradually feel pale, it's probably safer to reduce all kinds of risks."
"On that point, I agree with Kai, too. And I think we all agree."
"Right."
Not only Kai, but Shayla and Rita even nodded at me.... Deanna nodded honestly because Prince Stanza and "Red Rose" are not going to get along very well (not so much, actually, but they certainly look like a good relationship from around to the point where they mislead even the close ones), which is certainly not a very good thing at the moment.
"Okay. To the extent that we don't break our friendship, try to gradually reduce the conversation so that it's not unnatural"
"Crester's instinct seems difficult, but are you okay?
"It's hard but... I'd rather you or everyone misunderstand me unintentionally, so I'll do my best"
"... thanks, Dee"
Kai, who laughs at me for saying that, looks beautiful after all, happy...
It was Deanna who felt strongly that she could resist instincts for this smile.
