The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

"Hey! Have you finished your statement and summary of what you did from Home Office aspirations!?

"Don't be impotent! Whether you put it together or not, it doesn't end in this situation where something new is loaded from next to next!

"It would be nice if the Ministry of the Interior, too, would put together the statements of people of the same opinion before dropping them off..."

"Isn't that how those people can care for you? In that regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very polite."

"... polite and lacking in gaps, which can even be a pain in the ass in the ass if it's like this one?

"Indeed."

- The outer chamber was murderous. It is usual for clerical work in government to be unloaded as a 'simple work series for everyone', but the Spy Corps of the Stanza Empire... has doubled the work of its hands over here since it welcomed the national embassy. The reception of national guests is the role of the Ministry of the Interior, assistants in scheduling and diplomatic activities are the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it is the first time in three hundred years that "national guests" have been welcomed in any way, so the Ministry of the Interior, which just can't do its job, is of little use. As a result, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was mostly responsible for the Stanza State Mission, but the know-how of guest entertainment in the Royal Palace could not be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the outhouse office, which usually grasps the entire work of the three provinces as a chore clerk, has managed to turn it this way.

That was just enough of a joke project...

"I'd like to invite someone from the Elland royal family to the Stanza Empire... hey. It seems like it would be nice if His Majesty would say no to such an offer."

If Orion, an ancient stock, one of the outdoor room clerks who was paperwork at high speed, shrugged that way, Casio, an ancient stock clerk, sighed a long sigh, who was also compiling the contents of the "statement" coming down from the Ministry of the Interior, which he could not use next to him. It's just great to sigh and not stop working at all.

"With Your Majesty, if you can refuse, I've done it a long time ago. This neighborhood is where the Stanza State Mission doesn't slip out, right? Not only His Majesty, but also in a meeting where the key ministers are somewhat aligned, we have almost made this" offer "to the stick.... had their target been limited to regular royalty alone, they would have had no other option but to say no, but it was the most painful thing to have been shown the option of side chamber side."

"Even the side room is almost like a member of the royal family, isn't it?

"That's true, but it's not just 'unlimited proximity to the royal family' that counts as official royalty. If the peace of the country were to be preserved by sending one side room to Stanza, which is very unchanged whether one person was there or not, then one of His Majesty's strong opposition would end up being pushed out by a number of violence."

In the present rear palace there are more than forty side chambers. It is common practice that the higher the number, the lighter each person is treated. Stanza's rear palace (Halem) seems to be a much larger and more controlled place than Elland's, but because of its familiarity with such things, they understood such human psychology very well.

- Edward smiled bitterly at the conversation between the two ancient stocks, who had come to help with the outdoor room work while sharing information.

"Still, Juke's been stepping on it a lot. No one can send Stanza to scratch her feet more than the real purpose of Stanza's side has been revealed."

"Right. - Well, as a result, the outer chamber is overflowing with statements."

Most of the statements that are currently coming into avalanche with the momentum that could occupy the precious empty space in the outer palace room are opinions about the 'hostage drop-off' project, which seems to be wrapped in this oblate and not wrapped at all. Previously frequented by Rhino of the Count Tandor family, this half-defunct system was ironically prompted by his death to become widely known to 10,000 people. Anyone who is an adult aristocrat can have an opinion on politics - it would be weirder not to be used, especially when such a system is known.

Statement writing varies, but the main opinions can be divided into three parts. One is a hard opinion: "Don't listen to Stanza's demands, stop the deal immediately", the other is an argument: "Regardless of how much you deal with Stanza, how about imitations like offering you a personal gift, no matter how many side rooms you have", something that is true but too ideal.

And finally, the opinions that grew in number day by day and are now the overwhelming majority -.

"Ah... after all, the statement from the Ministry of the Interior is overwhelming in its opinion that 'in order not to attribute the Stanza Empire's steps to nothing, one of the side chambers should be asked to visit the Stanza Empire in the short term, as a national envoy'"

Casio, who had finished putting together a statement by the Ministry of the Interior, grunts and grunts his elaborate shoulders. The roommates, who were organizing statements that came down from other places around them, also nodded with one dark look after another.

"And the Foreign Office."

"The Treasury Department... there are fewer statements or" yes "opinions than others."

"... it's crazy, this"

Claude, the youngest chambermaid who was responsible for sorting and distributing documents and calculating the final number of opinions, opens his mouth with a harsh expression.

"It hasn't been a week since Stanza said, 'Give me the hostages'. When they first said such a joke, 'Don't be ridiculous, say no immediately' was the majority opinion. No matter how many" side chambers "you've shown the choice, it's unnatural to think that your opinion in the royal palace will change in such a short period of time."

"... since the people of Stanza began to sit in the Royal Palace, there has been a noticeable" formation of public opinion too soon ".

"Does that mean they are good at manipulating people's minds..."

At first, the Royal Palace of Elgrand, which was heavily rebellious against the Stanza Empire, has now changed to "Can I give it to Stanza for another side room or so". Deanna was set to stand on the arrow with Stanza because if you correct the original, that kind of air spread inside the royal palace...

"... no," this is different "

I found Edward, who muttered quietly, stabbed the gaze of all the roommates. I sense that I have stopped all hands and laugh a little.

"Because of this, and let's take a break. All of you, it was late for work without even having lunch. Because my mother keeps things for me to pinch easily."

"... that's, I appreciate it though. Edward, what's" different "?

"... I have a break, I'll talk to you. I told Keith before, but that doesn't seem to tell you the details."

In Edward's words, Claude and a few people who seem to have been working their way to a good cut, pull into the water room and brew tea for a number of people, and come back. It was an overall break in a buffet style that spread out inside the basket that Elizabeth made me hold in the break space and each took what I liked to plate. Because the outer chamber has a small rest space, it is not possible for everyone to get together.

Edward and Orion and Casio will be seated in the central rest space.

"Something's wrong. Let me use the couch."

"I don't have Edward's desk in the outer chamber. In the meantime, Mr. Keith was whining," Should we really re-model the room and put Ed's desk down? "

"... no, I'm going to take over my father's job and become the director of the materials room in the future, so I just can't work with the outer palace room, can I?

"There's no other rule that you shouldn't leave a desk for someone who's not a roommate. It's about Ed, so whatever your future position, it's obvious that immersion in the Royal Palace will be the outer chamber (here)."

"... well, me too, I'm not going to sit in the library all day. There, it's dusty."

"It's dusty because Master Dualis isn't doing his job properly, is it?

"" If you're in the back, it sounds like you're organizing it regularly. Neither is my father, but I'm not very good at cleaning. "

"In the first place, at the point where that job has been handed down to the Crestors for generations..."

He said, "I have to stop in my position."

To Edward and Casio's conversation, Claude, who came to give him tea, tilted his neck properly. About the other day, he inherited the Viscount by unexpected fate pranks, but in the outer chamber surrounded by minded seniors, he still looks like an unusual child.

"The information room... is often visited by seniors, the information room of the Inspectorate, right? Reports on aristocratic territorial management, royal palace-driven policies, and materials on business are stored…"

"That's right. No, Claude never went."

"Naturally, Orion. Can you put a rookie in such a cave? If you do poorly, you fill it with materials."

"Uh... it's not a metaphor, it's a physical burial."

"Well, complain to the treasury department that won't put down the budget to build more shelves."

"Well, sure... so, Claude. Something you don't know?

The roommates in the outer palace really care about Claude, a distant old rookie. Their duties run out to a harsh word, but it's not their fault, it's the three provinces (mainly the Ministry of the Interior) who turn their jobs to them and are not ashamed. Roommates have extremely good relationships with each other and remember the attitude of caring for and trying to raise a newcomer (Claude) no matter how busy they are.

For the gentle waters of seniors, honest Claude snorts one thing.

"To listen to you, the job of the librarian is mostly limited to cleaning and organizing, right? I don't know, I was wondering if I needed to take it over on purpose."

"Uh..."

After all, Claude is a really keen boy. He/she is unconscious, but if he/she hones and stretches this qualities, he/she will be a rare official and a lord.

There seemed to be several roommates with the same questions as Claude, and the gaze for answers is right for Edward and Casio and the others. I took Casio and Orion to look at Edward like they were in trouble, laughing lightly.

"You guys are disciplined, too. Now you don't have to hide anything in the outer courtyard, so you could have told me otherwise, right?

"Well...... that would be true. It's not just about the Crestors."

"The current director of the inspectorate, I'm super scared. I can call that Dualis in five letters, like Director Hornet."

"Well, you've known your father since he was a bad kid. You don't have to get your head up."

"So how far can we go on our own… the three of us have come to know by chance, but at least in the present royal palace, there should be an overwhelming minority of people who know their true role"

"That's true, but apart from Martis's little father, he doesn't see it as a threat to be known to the outer chamber (you). If my little father felt threatened with the outer chamber, he wouldn't wake up wrong to be" accidentally known "first. That's who he is."

"I'm scared enough at that point"

To the conversation between the two old stocks and Edward, the newcomer rounded his eyes.

"... you mean the Inspectorate has something, something special, to observe from the story? The job description of the Inspectorate that I know of is definitely" Reality Survey of the Kingdom, "and I heard that it's actually like just a record keeper, so there are very few officers and they're pretty much idle."

"Uh, right. You don't look wrong." Inspector General's office has very few official titles and a weak presence in the Royal Palace. "

"Superficially…"

"- Claude. The Inspectorate is pretty much what a masked official is. When we checked your Meltrova territory last year, how do you think we got all the information together so quickly and specifically?

"Isn't that because... the Crestors have information networks all over the kingdom?

"Even if I can grasp the remote atmosphere with the information network behind me, I don't know what the specifics are or the tax revenues are. Not if you own it, not if you own it."

"But, hey... No way"

"Ah. The work of the Inspectorate is really a" fact-finding survey of the kingdom ". Many masked officials are constantly scattered throughout the kingdom to investigate the" reality "of all royalty and aristocracy. - To inform the king immediately of the outrage against the people."

The Kingdom of Elland - since its predecessor, the 'group of urban states of the lake', has harshly admonished the outrageous by the exchangers to the people. It was also due to the temperament of the Elglands, but it was more than that that that 'the wise men of the woods', who became their wisdom bags, gave sober advice that 'oppressive and powerful domination will ultimately be to the disadvantage of the traders' side in the long run '. He said that it was better to protect the people with mercy and compassion and enrich their lives so that they could continue the "royal family" for longer than to suppress them with power.

But not all the kings of the land that descended on the 'Kingdom of the Lake' were merciful to the people, regardless of the family of the Lake (Le Grand). Rather, such a country was a minority.

So the king and the wise men of the time imposed 'three covenants' on the kings of the country who offered to join the group of urban states.

One thing is that slavery should be abolished immediately.

For one thing, it is forbidden to attack another country yourself. The battle is to keep it in defense.

One is to recognise to the people the right to live their own lives freely.

- As long as we keep this' Three Promises', let us acknowledge your country's autonomy and welcome it as a member of the 'Group of Urban States of the Lakes'.

But if your country reneges on this promise, our country will be stripped of its autonomy as the leader of the Cities of the Lakes group. In some cases, then Royal Solemnity will not quit either.

At the time, the warring age, when the country stood throughout the peninsula and was crowded and disturbed. I can't imagine it coming from the slightly peaceful world of today, but it was so urgent that the family of the favorite lake (Le Grand) had to be so tough.

Nevertheless, there is also a limit to secretly exploring the internal affairs of other countries that have recognised autonomy from a far away location. Are they keeping their 'three covenants' properly, or are they forcing the people to be outrageous...

"The Inspectorate was created to explore it, the King's internal affairs agency."

To Edward's explanation, Claude opened his mouth wide with surprise or astonishment.

"So, is the Inspectorate so old?

"It's older than the noblemen there, isn't it? It must have been a thousand or five hundred years since it was created."

"Yep, yep..."

"The masked inspectors of the Inspectorate basically live their qualities in secrecy for life. For once, you may be getting mixed up in the subordination of the noblemen who are doing exactly the outrage right now, or maybe the shopkeepers who are calling in all over town. It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter whether you're gender, it's all about whether you're fit to be a masked inspector."

"If so, in fact, the size of the Inspectorate is large to the extent that" the Bureau "is wrong..."

"I don't know. Only the Director of Time and Count Crester know everything about how many masked inspectors there are. Sometimes in the first place, the Crestors have taken over the administration and operation of the Inspectorate from generation to generation before they became aristocrats. It's an enormous amount of secret information and manpower, so it's just as tough if you don't build up that know-how from the time you were a kid."

Whatever it was at the time it started, the information now being handled by the Inspectorate is all over the peninsula. The number of aristocrats is increasing year after year, and when we have to insist not only on territorial operations, but also on exotic transactions, and scrutinize, manage and store that information, we don't have enough time to drill deeper into that area from childhood.

"But then how is it that nobles who commit outrage against the people are not punished immediately? The Inspectorate would like to address His Majesty..."

"Ah. The Inspectorate has that authority, and in some cases it exposes the misconduct of royal palace officials. It is at the discretion of Lord Martis Hornet, the current director of the Superintendency, and His Excellency the Chancellor, that we are not doing this right now."

"It's..."

"You can't let Juke punish you now, darkless arrow cod and nobility, can you? If you do that, you don't know when it's going to be dangerous for him.... So far, the real role of the Inspectorate is secret to Juke. I mean him, though, so you might have already noticed. At a time when the Royal Palace has a public record of a population or some sort of tax rate compiled, apart from the territorial management reports submitted by the nobles themselves, if he's a well-researched guy, he says, 'Who looked into this?' You will. If it is sometimes misstated by the aristocratic side, then it is more"

The role of the Inspectorate is to deliver the Truth to the King as soon as the King of Time desires it. Always silent, sometimes even mocked for their existence, yet they continue to secretly carve the truth.

- All for the people and the king who desires the peace of the people. Never miss fraud or oppression and consolidate the evidence. When the Kings move, let nothing hold the Kings back.

Though the names never appear in the history books of the table, they are undisputed meritorious men who have certainly continued to protect the King and the people at milestones in history.

The roommates, including Claude, who heard Edward's explanation, agreed deeply and many times.

"I don't know... it's the Crestors"

"For a long time, I've been wondering if there's anything behind what the Crestors have been doing for generations as directors of the library. The revealed" back was on an unexpected scale. "

"Seriously, it's awesome. I don't know, it feels like a secret specializing in nobility."

"Oh, sure. And how close are you to the Crestors?"

"... no one pulls one, and instead of doubting it, it's the outer chamber that ends up convinced."

"No, I'm surprised, aren't I? But if I pulled this off, I wouldn't be working."

As reliable as it can be. Edward moistened his throat with tea as he grinned bitterly. - It is simply gratifying, as the person in charge of the next generation, that the outer chamber, which will probably continue to work with the Crestor family, favours the Inspectorate.

Casio has turned a serious face when one paragraph of explanations about the Inspectorate has been made.

"-So, Edward. May I ask what you said earlier about the sincerity of" different "?

"... oh, you did. This is going to be a little bit of an inspectorate story."

After finishing the sandwich he had in his hand, Edward looks over the whole room again.

"Earlier, when Orion mentioned" too soon to form a public opinion, "Cassio decided it was something the stanzas did, didn't he?

"... Yes"

"Of course that would be one end of the truth, and I'm pretty sure they have excellent manipulation. But that's not all."

Since the arrival of the Stanza Empire's National Mission… To be precise, the royal palace's movements since the beginning of this year's social period (season) are clearly not the same as they were until last year. Though at first glance that seems to be due to the infiltration of a heterogeneous molecule called Stanza's National Mission.

"When the stanzas find out who they're after, It's too efficient, too convenient.... for Conservatives"

"Edward......"

This time, the opponents whom the Stanza State Mission has deepened its rapprochement with are mainly innovators. But not a single rock with an innovator. Some of them are full of ambition and malice.

Yet. Yet.

"How do you think Juke or His Excellency the Chancellor can't resolutely reject the voice of the Royal Palace this time?

It's not just a number of violence. The forces defending Stanza and trying to help them have a strong power among the innovators and are admired not only by their own commerce but also by the people for successfully running their territory - because, for Juke, it would be comforting to be on his side.

"Right."

"But is that true? Territorial management is only a self-declaration of nobility…"

"... well. It's also clear from the IVD's investigation that they have excellent qualities as nobles."

"That's the thing. They're all not moving in bad faith. Rather, I sincerely hope for the friendship between Elland and Stanza and hope that the deepening of rapprochement between the two countries will make the future brighter. The thing about sending the side room to Stanza is, believe the word of Stanza," Welcome as a messenger of friendship. "

"... I personally think that the peace bokeh will pass"

"But in fact, it's not. Other side rooms would be different...... because if you give him Deanna, which is the purpose of Prince Stanza, he will certainly treat Deanna dearly and welcome him to Stanza as a messenger of friendship. Well, you'd be zero willing to give it back."

The look on everyone's face is so cloudy. Orion exhaled with eyes that were rare and full of worry for him, always happy.

"Around choosing a lady, I guess she's a man with eyes to see..."

"So the way we do it is unscrupulous. I can't admit it."

"If Deanna thinks of His Royal Highness the Prince of Stanza, she doesn't seem to be."

"... Whatever Deanna's feelings are, so there are no lies in Stanza's words. If so, more and more, they of the innovators will no longer doubt the Stanza State Mission. That's how we continue to mediate between the King and Stanza out of good intentions, and the conservatives around us turn to passive favor by deciding to let their enthusiasm flow - now to the side room we sent out, if problems erupt between us and the Stanza Empire, who's to blame now?

Casio's, Orion's, roommates' complexion turns blue to Edward's inquiry.

Claude opened her mouth, gasping heavily.

"No way...... is that the true aim?

"It's my idea, though. I've been looking at the royal palace here lately and I feel that feeling. - I can't make the planting so far for the Stanza State Mission, and I don't have the advantage (benefit) of doing that in the first place. Because it's like breaking a twat with Elgrand on your own. Only conservatives in the Royal Palace of Elland see the rise of innovators"

Besides.

"That's how we cut the power of the leading innovators while reducing Juke's allies and worsening our friendship with the Stanza Empire to review free trade. Further involvement in the rear palace created a situation where Red Rose (Deanna), the culmination of how it scratched, had to move. You can make as many gaps in the attack as you want. One stone, two birds, four birds or more, and all of that in favor of conservatives. - Behind the Stanza National Mission, there must be a conservative or someone who wants them to have power.

"Oh no...!

"... the question is, who is that? I'm too handy with them until last year. Skilled public opinion guiding, being able to get this far, means that the mastermind should already be in the royal palace or at least in the king's capital."

"... there's a possibility that he's not noble," he said?

"I don't know. That's why every possibility needs to be tested"

"But I can't believe why people who aren't aristocrats work with conservatives..."

"............ there is, that's what"

Edward faintly repeats a story he had previously told Keith and was stunned, saying, "I can't believe it, but I don't think Edward is lying in that face," a story he didn't quite understand.

The story of the spiritualists (Spiricians) in the ancient biography and the power of the "Princess of the Woods" handed down to Deanna.

And - that for some reason the spiritual powers that survive in modern times are working hand in hand with the Conservatives of the Royal Palace to help them expand their forces.

For those people, Deanna, the embodiment of the "miracle" on the king's side, would be undisturbed.

A breathtaking Casio exchanges glances with Orion several times before seeing Edward again.

"So... you mean maybe it's their" planting "from where Prince Stanza fell in love with the princess and started wanting it?

"Ah. If so, don't let this stream become one stone and five birds. Reduce Juke's allies, sharpen the power of the innovators, make relations with Stanza worse, and wave in the rear house - banishing Deanna from the Kingdom of Elland, forever"

"Oh, no... no!

Claude, with a crying face, shook her neck sideways many times.

"No! No, absolutely not! Dear Deanna... I can't let my sister's benefactor run into such a hard eye!!

"Claude......"

"Sister, it's not just me. Deanna was there, so I met with Abel and Rudolph. I gave up making friends my age from the beginning when I didn't go to college... Deanna even picked it up and put it on my hands. Even the Meltrois are like Deanna saved us. Yet..."

"... Of course I know, Claude"

Casio stood up and gently slapped Claude on the shoulder.

"When this happens, I can't think of a mess about faction differences. At this point, the enemy should also think about working temporarily with those who complain about clandestine policy in their alliance argument."

"I don't even have time. To protect your precious lady."

Everyone in the room nodded forcefully to the decrees of Casio and Orion -,

Moments.

"............... sorry, guys. We've been crossed."

but then the door opened.

Pajero and Keith, who slowly came in, had a bluer face than Edward had ever seen before and walked in a snug manner. This is the first time Edward has seen these two spiritually tough guys so beaten up.

"What happened, Keith?

As he waited for him to sit down and inquired, Keith loosened up and shook his neck sideways.

"You can blame me for not being helpful, Ed.... I didn't know the Home Office was going to use such a trick."

"Hands?"

"The daily direct complaint is" (fake). They used the authority of the rear palace administration to stop His Majesty and His Highness from moving - and they wanted to be notified to select the side chambers they deserved as representatives of the State Mission of Elland in the rear palace!!

The room manager barks and dons the desk!! and slapped him with his fist. Dosadsa and the paperwork snowed down, but not a single voice to blame for it, of course.

"Stupid!!

It was Casio who stood up first.

"Impossible! Don't even wait for the king's decision, no! Isn't that an act of transcendence!!

"No, Casio...... if it was excused that it was a circular based on the hypothetical story of 'Suppose the State Mission of Elland were to be formed', there is no art of exchange here. Instead, the Ministry of the Interior will be remedied for respecting the will of the House of Lords."

"But it doesn't make any difference that you're not waiting for His Majesty's decision!

"Yeah, Orion. But that, too, is difficult to blame as an act of transcendence if, in view of the current situation in the Royal Palace, it is said that it was to proceed without delay either way of falling. The scheduled return date of the Stanza State Mission is approaching, but the King cannot contain his voice that 'a State Mission should be dispatched to Stanza'. If I were told that I had moved so that I would never drive Stanza's plans crazy, no matter what happened, rather than that it would deflect my return time due to the irregularities on the part of Elland..."

"... it's hard to argue, just because it's muscular, right? I'm glad the chosen side room didn't have to leave the country when I stopped sending national missions."

Speaking calmly, Edward clenched his fist hard to hold the bottom of his boiling belly.

(Who... Who's Behind!?

This hands-on goodness cannot be found in the Ministry of the Interior. Definitely, there must be someone who moved them.

"… but now it will almost become a fait accompli ­ tion for the Kingdom of Elland to side chamber its representatives and send a national mission to Stanza. No matter how much His Majesty disagrees, 'even though it has already begun in the rear palace until the selection of the head of state mission', preparations are advanced. Any further opposition would jeopardize His Majesty and His Highness's position."

Without force, Keith looked straight at Edward.

"It's our downfall that didn't notice the thoughts of the Home Office. Think of it, in the Lordship Council at the end of the fiscal year, it was no longer a secret or anything that we were holding hands with His Majesty. This futile statement, as well as all the irrelevant good work that the Home Office was putting down on us, must have been all a stepping stone not to let this move get in the way. … it was sweet of me to think that they would always be able to use the choreographer's position even though they had changed their eyes to see us"

"... if you say that, I'm the same. Keith, blame yourself later. I'll call your father and Deanna and see what I can do about it."

"In the future..."

Keith is smart. And I know what Prince Stanza really wants, and I also know Deanna understands everything about it.

If he did that...

"But, Ed. Besides, the measures to protect Deanna are now for me…"

"You know, Keith. I appreciate that you guys are trying to protect Deanna, and I'd love to protect him if I could, but - unfortunately, my sister doesn't always spoil me for just being protected."

Yes, even Edward knows.

Deanna must be more than things have moved so far.

"It hurts that the enemy has moved well, but if this flow cannot be stopped, we can only use that to turn it into a bizarre currency to reverse. I dare you to ride your thoughts and destroy all their prospects."

In the outer palace where the afternoon sun plunged in, Edward proclaimed softly, so.
