Mrs Magnome was chilled angry when she was notified by the Ministry of the Interior that 'so that she could make the selection of the side room she deserved as a representative of the State Mission of Elland', and at almost the same time she received a circumstantial explanation from the outer chamber to the effect that she had been 'done to the Ministry of the Interior' -

That, the next day.

"Despite the sudden call today, we have taken a trip to your side room and have no words of gratitude. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome."

"If Lady Magnome calls, whatever you put down, you have to take care of it. - Let's see, gentlemen?

In front of a total of forty-one side rooms gathered, Mrs Magnome greeted them in front of them in the room, which was the largest of the rear palaces, with only room for all the side rooms to gather (Deanna just listened, but she also did the prayer for the Coming Festival (Les Armenies Arstos) here), without breaking the calm. In Deanna's words, which affirmed the Lady's words favourably and prompted her to agree, the three 'named' and the 'Red Rose' side chambers nod unceasingly.

The lady gently bowed her head to Deanna to show her gratitude before returning her gaze to the whole thing.

"There is nothing else we have gathered here today. As for the noisy project here in the outer palace, if you're ears early, you probably already know it."

"… that the Imperial Mission of the Stanza is offering to accompany the royal family of the Kingdom of Elland as national ambassadors on their return"

"Yes, Master Sleep Lotus. The Ministry of the Interior came yesterday by circular 'so that when the coordination with the Stanza State Mission is opaque, but when it comes to organising the Elland State Mission, the selection of the side rooms that you deserve as a representative of the State Mission can proceed promptly'. Of course, there is no good way through the insanity of not even having a formal national relationship with the Stanza Empire, sending your sideroom to the Empire, and that depends on what I have said."

"In view of the current situation in the outer house, I must say that it is very suspicious whether Mrs Magnome's honest opinion will pass"

"You're right, Suzuran. And, more than these circulars have come, we need to get in shape, even if it's just the rear palace side, and we've made a selection."

"Of course, everyone here understands Mrs Magnum's position and distress. No one thinks that Mrs. Magnome is serious about sending someone from the side room to the Stanza Empire."

"... kind words, it hurts. Dear"

It's a truly aristocratic conversation. To sum up, would it be Mrs Magnome's statement of determination that "the Ministry of the Interior, because it has said such a thing as a fucking joke, once set up a 'screening board' place for the national ambassador, but as a hind house, it will be a presence that will go all the way to this situation"?... It seems that only on the surface is she calm, calm and calm, and now Mrs. Magnome is the strongest and most beautiful in history. The three of them are alike.

Nevertheless, if you just want to format the 'selection meeting', you don't need to gather all the side rooms (until you've collected a round table and chairs for the tea party in a large room). I purposefully assembled all the side rooms at the 'Selection Board' -.

"Oh, I don't think it's such a bad idea for a side room to represent a national mission in the name of the Kingdom of Elland, do I? If you are a formal royalty, you will need a hefty and cumbersome procedure to get out of the country, but because the side chamber is only a royal equivalent, something that allows noble children to leave the country in the same procedure as when they go abroad to study or commerce. It doesn't take much time or effort, so if you can handle a sudden story like this one, and you're a quasi royalty, you can keep the face of the kingdom."

Liliane exalts herself as she hides her mouth with a fan. - Yes, Deanna wanted to know.

On this one, on this one. How far is "who" on the rear palace side informed of the situation and involved? That would prove that besides the Deannas, there is a party in the rear palace that is trying to manipulate the political situation in conjunction with the outer palace.

The question is whether that party is a complete outer palace puppet, or is it trying to devour politics with free will and purpose? In the former case, it is good to beat a dozen things together, but in the latter case, the response measures will vary depending on the situation.

(As expected, Liliane seems to have been given a certain amount of information by the outside court)

Liliane barely exchanges letters with her family. Supplies are sent frequently, so either there is one-way information in them… or there is something like 'darkness' for Deanna. Normally, it is unlikely that 'darkness' or Kai will be able to capture such suspicious signs, but considering the presence of a spiritual power (Spyrcia) on the enemy's side, it is likely that the signs can be completely erased by some means.

- Deanna dared not speak, and decided to watch what ripples (giraffes) the stones thrown in by Liliane would spread.

"That's right. As Peony said, it is fitting to get the representative of the Kingdom of Elland Mission out of the side room."

"Whatever you say, I'm the representative of the country. You don't have the right identity."

"Then again, what you deserve is the most stately of the side chambers..."

It was the side chambers belonging to the 'Red Roses' who changed their complexion as the 'Peony' side chambers concurrently endorsed Liliane. Though there are no more Sofias who have served to cut ahead under these circumstances, the 'Red Roses' side chambers are by no means the only possible warrants to follow Deanna.

"Well, what do you say"

"In the first place, sending an Imperial Envoy to the Stanza Empire involves danger in itself, as it stands. This is not the selection of a national embassy representative, but we should unite our minds to confront the tyranny of the outer house"

"Well, well. I can't believe you're familiar with business with Stanza. Are you sure you want to do business with someone you don't trust so much?

"... Eh, it's not just business and country to country with each other. Even if they can be trusted, they should not be alarmed by the whole country. There's no contradiction there."

"But we have heard that your father and brother are intimately associated with the Stanza National Mission, right?

"I don't care what my father, my brother, thinks. As a backyard resident, I categorically disagree with the decision of the outer palace to endanger the side chamber."

(I'm sure he's having a tongue fight there... Marquis Zafira and Baroness Dreddy)

Needless to say, the Marquis of Zafira is a radical conservative close to the Marquis of Landrose, and Baron Dreddy is an emerging nobleman and innovator whose predecessor is the merchant who imports and exports food mainly against Stanza. Performance has been excellent, and he is also one of those who has risen in rank in this Rear Palace remodel.

I hear Baron Dreddy is one of the sympathetic factions to the Stanza State Mission in the outer court, but as far as this looks, apparently his daughter doesn't endorse such a father. Most importantly, it seems that this time, none of the innovators are a single rock, and only a few clearly express their stanza-like opinions in the house that is raising their daughter to the rear palace as a side chamber. Most pierce silence, or.

"Baron Dreddy is a very kind and merciful man, isn't he? You must have believed in a pathetic Stanza national mission, but if you think calmly, you will soon see how dangerous it is to go to the Stanza Empire as a national ambassador. That's what my father thought, and he said he couldn't agree with the national mission."

Quiet but clear, Baroness Nasha Crockett - who is also a friend of Shayla's - spoke. As Nasha put it, Baron Crockett has consistently said from the outset in this case, "You have to think separately about dating individual stanzas and deepening the connection with the stanza empire itself. We must not allow ourselves to be distracted by the national mission sent by the Stanza Empire," he continues, one of the few.

Nod also to Nasha's words, Baroness Ridill Ernest, who was sitting next to him.

"You all know that, don't you? Now it's the Stanza State Mission that won't break its special winning attitude, but when they just entered this country, their attitude was that it was already terrible. The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were entrusted with the hospitality said they didn't even have the luxury of skipping the attitude of looking down at the Kingdom of Elland."

"... yeah, totally. Though by the wonderful hand of the Red Rose, their abusive behavior seems to lurk and say well that they have 'reflected', etc. Even if the Stanza national mission reflects, it is inconceivable in the first place to send a national ambassador to a country that supposedly could be treated as crude if it were an expatriate"

Shayla, who was sitting at the same table as the two of them, said with a completely seated eye, in a voice that pushed and killed the anger inside her, in a tone that had not killed out the anger. Shayla, and the "named" three know Prince Stanza's target is Deanna, so it's actually a furious heavenly full throttle from the beginning.

Though almost all of the 'Red Roses' and 'Neutralists' snorted deeply at Shayla's words.

"Really? That's why I think it makes sense to send national envoys. It makes no sense that only the national mission of Stanza knows the Kingdom of Elland, the excellence of the Kingdoms. Isn't it only by letting the people of the Kingdom of Elland enter the centre of the Stanza Empire as ambassadors of the country and let them know how wonderful the kingdom is that they can correct the mistakes of the Stanza Empire?

(... I see, there's a point)

I can't tell if this was Liliane's own idea, or if she was instructed to "give it back like this if she says so" after an elaborate meeting, but either way, a certain amount of muscle goes through her statement. That's what Shayla seemed to have felt, and she immediately stuffed the words without being able to argue.

"I know what Liliane says. That's nothing. It's not going to have to be a big rush right now."

It was Rhea who gently cut out objections instead of Shayla stuck in words. After years of being at the heart of socializing her age, she knows just how to take it between.

"Your relationship with the Stanza Empire is certainly one of those diplomatic cases that we need to think about firmly in the future. In some cases, indeed, as Master Liliane has said, there may also be a need to send national envoys from the Kingdom of Elland to strive for goodwill. But I don't think that's what you do now that you're underestimating the kingdom."

"I agree with Rhea, too. Although I am not sure whether it is genuine or an on-the-spot effort, the Stanza State Mission has been made explicit that it wants to 'form true friendship' with the Kingdom of Elland, and it is not too late to figure out how they will stand around returning to the country. At this stage, even if we send a national ambassador from the Kingdom of Elland, we can't have a lot of diplomacy in the Stanza Empire, which is overwhelmingly low on our side."

"You mean it's still premature to take an offensive diplomatic stance. Every good measure is bad if you look at the timing incorrectly. As Liliane may well say, it will be obvious to everyone that we are not ready to make it happen."

The three "named" clearly stuck a "no" at Liliane, with soft words. It would have been obvious from an act in the House of Lords at the end of last fiscal year that the three of them were joining hands with Deanna, but it is nevertheless not possible for them to declare a clear separation from Liliane - the Conservatives - in front of all the side chambers of the Back Palace unless they are quite prepared.... Especially for Rhea, the harbinger of the Marquis of Stresia, who has been named a member of the ancient conservative nobility for many years.

Did Liliane also feel the readiness of the three, and I could see her expression distorted for a moment on the other side of the fan. Is it due to anger, remorse, or another emotion that isn't either of them? Though a very small number of people will have noticed it in the majority of the other side chambers because it is a distortion to the extent that Deanna sitting next to them has managed to figure it out.

"... I don't think so."

Hide a moment of agitation, clean the next moment.

Liliane opened her mouth only seemingly sophisticated and respectful of the older lady.

"If this was a situation where there was no exchange between the Stanza State Mission and our country, I would not endorse such a story as driving a valued citizen to a dead place. That would surely be the same as those who have shown a positive attitude towards the proposal of the Stanza State Mission in the outer house".

"So Master Liliane thinks that, whatever the Stanza Empire itself is, there is a certain trust built between the Stanza State Mission and our kingdom of Elland?

"... I didn't know Master Liliane would have accepted an exotic national mission so favourably. You're forgiving me, I have to apprentice you too."

Leticia's words in favor of Liliane only in literal terms, but a gleeful expression is an eye that is not laughing as if on the back and a tone of voice that is much lower than usual tells the story of it all. From the start, it's a gavel I'm sure there's a back. It is also an aristocratic rhetoric that prompts you to say, "What are you doing wrong, spit it out?"

Liliane grins at her incitement as she looks down at Leticia in the first place.

"Favoring the exotic? Oh, my God. This is outrageous."

From Liliane, who denies Leticia's words outright, I can feel the authenticity without deception. I don't really hate Deanna that much about this personality and attitude of hers, which I clearly like and dislike. Just because you are a noble class in a country that fully admits to dealing with an exotic country, there is no decision that anything must be in absolute favor of an exotic country. … the problem is trying to impose the good and the bad on others.

"There's no way you can do that, such as favorably embrace those shameless people. I don't know if he's a national ambassador or a royal family, but it's a good thing he's not familiar with walking around in grandeur with his thick face shamelessly entering our country's court. Just look at your face and you'll see your hair."

"... but Dear Liliane, You said earlier that there is a certain interaction between those shameless and unknown people and our country."

"In fact, you do, don't you? - Hey, Red Rose?

It has been the first time here that Liliane has turned her proud flush to Deanna, who was silently stationary about her accomplishments. Harsh colors run into the eyes of the three "named" people who were daring to talk about not intertwining Deanna and Shayla, who was watching the whereabouts of the debate in a large number of side rooms.

"Everyone here has seen that the Red Rose has been speaking intimately with His Royal Highness the Prince of Stanza, who is the representative of the Stanza National Mission, over the past day. Regardless, His Royal Highness has enjoyed the conversation with the Red Rose. With His Royal Highness's trusted Red Rose, you will be able to work closely with the Stanza National Mission and fulfill the full role of the National Envoy."

(Hmm, did you come in that direction? … in a way, within the meaning of the assumptions)

The fact that Liliane has been instructed at this meeting to 'direct the debate to use Deanna as his national envoy' became almost a finality in this flow. Later, confirm to what extent her free will is involved in the instruction.

For the first time here, Deanna decides to enter the debate by expressing her gratitude only by gazing at the three "named" people who have opened their mouths to argue.

"... you're in trouble. I never dreamed that Liliane would buy so much from me."

"Well, be modest. His Royal Highness the Prince of Stanza and I have been so close to each other."

"I have only acted as the counterpart of those who are invitees of the Royal Palace, in accordance with His Majesty's decree. I also took on the story of His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince of the Stanza Empire, because it was only a chat to comfort His Royal Highness's boredom, without the content of the story bothering His Majesty's hands, and I don't think I gained His Highness's trust with such a thing. Instead, His Royal Highness and the embassies of the country may laugh at the fact that we can only talk about women at that level."

I haven't told you a single lie. Deanna started having a tea party (named Question Party) with Prince Stanza in Sashi because of Juke's life, and there was no way to exchange views on current national politics and diplomacy on the spot. Since the development of Prince Exiga's attempts to explore the interior of the Kingdom of Elgrand through questions to Deanna could be fully assumed, the measures just around it are firmly challenged.

The conversation between the prince and Deanna was a thoroughgoing, scholarly discussion about the history and culture of the two countries and the differences in consciousness and thinking between the people and the ruling class that have been built on them. The prince may have admitted Deanna as a scholar, but it is unknown to what extent he found Deanna talented as an official.

… his, Prince Exige's purpose is to obtain Deanna as a "woman". If you get on the wheel of the prince's such private thoughts and put Deanna on the representative of the national mission or something, you will definitely be laughed at by Stanza's side "The court of this country is a little bit" first. Even if most of the Stanza State Mission did not know the prince's sincerity, he would be laughed at by the prince himself and by the man who said he was close.

(So, it's a plain challenge, isn't it? Well, if you work well with the outer palace side, I think you can clear it somehow)

If you look at Liliane's way out while you're alone in the brain.

"Really, I'm not even as humble as Red Rose. It will be obvious to anyone that His Royal Highness the Prince of Stanza was open to the Red Rose. When the Red Rose also spoke to His Highness, he was a very gorgeous, enjoyable face. Does the Red Rose feel much more special about His Royal Highness than the rest of His Highness?

The indoor air froze to the glittering words of Liliane. It is unclear to what extent the side chambers that live within the rear palace believe in the theory of 'Red Rose (Deanna) is King Juke's Lady', but at least externally it goes by as fact. To say "other men would be more special" to someone like that is an act that is rude. The side rooms of "The Red Rosemary" blush in anger, and the three of "Named" and Shayla guide us by their gaze alone.

Deanna grinned, deeply thanking them for that.

"His Royal Highness, as a scholar, is an excellent man. If I may borrow the words of Liliane," I will not deny that I have been impressed with His Highness's profound knowledge because I am a woman who wisely wants to pinch her mouth in your realm at the time of the woman. But that's the same thing, even if His Royal Highness was a woman. I didn't mean to limit myself to the Lord.

"But if some of His Highness will admit it, trust will still be born there."

"It's not the same thing to acknowledge His Highness's brains as to believe in His Highness as an exchanger. The world shows extraordinary talent for its own specialties, but other than that, there are less than usual scholars and so on. No matter how good His Highness is as a scholar, if we look back at the diplomacy of the Stanza State Mission, we are far from trusting him as an official or an exchanger. Because there are few fruitful words, and no matter how you fix the upper edge, after all, it seems clear that you are not sincerely interested in friendship with the Kingdom of Elland."

"... even if the Red Rose doesn't believe in His Royal Highness, isn't His Highness different?

"I am not Your Highness, though I cannot understand His Highness's inner truth. … just in case, as Liliane said, Your Highness thinks I deserve a representative of a country, I see too many people."

Every time Deanna talks, two letters of "confusion" appear in Liliane's eyes. I didn't think Deanna would criticize Prince Stanza so painfully, but it's a hard face to say.

(... by whom, what, blown in?

Let's see how it goes. Liliane is certainly moving to join hands with "someone" in the outer palace and roll this thing in their convenient direction.

But even if "someone" blows something into you and you're just being manipulated, Liliane's own will isn't completely gone. She still feels uncomfortable with the reality in front of her and the stories blown in, and has as much room as she can think with her own head.

(Thoughts, ways of thinking, ways of doing things are all incompatible. Determined to crush it over the years, I can't shake it.... but even the future ahead that crushed her, there is always a place for her. As a nobleman, I want to crush Liliane Landrose, a politician, not just take away Liliane)

If we continue like this, the day will surely come when Liliane will also be "thrown away as a pawn. I can't figure out who I am." Somebody doesn't choose the means if it's for a purpose.

Deanna cannot recognize Liliane as a nobleman who unites the people. But that's why I don't want to take Liliane's life. I'm no longer a nobleman, before I lose power, because as long as I live, the future spreads.

(If Liliane finds out, she's definitely going to say "big favor" in "Introduction". - But I made up my mind. I will never, ever again, let anyone around me carelessly scatter my life)

With a secret determination in her chest, Deanna stared straight at Liliane...

"I am called the 'Red Rose' in this rear palace and tentatively retain my position as the head of the side chamber, but that is only within the bounds of the private affairs of the Royal Family of Elland. I am only the daughter of a nobleman, who has no authority over politics. Especially though that can be said not only to me, but to everyone in the side room here. Appointing a daughter like that as a representative of a state ambassador is like implicitly declaring that I do not expect much from the 'State Mission of Elland' in the first place. You wouldn't behave so demeaning to an exotic country."

"Well... but this time the national mission is meant to deepen friendship between the two countries, and we don't envisage a situation where diplomatic authority would be required"

"That's just what the Stanza State Mission is saying, what if the ELGRAND State Mission across the Empire were forced to sign a formal treaty involving the national relations between the two countries, etc.? If you're going to respond that you don't have the right to make a decision, so I'll take it home, etc., you just make the national mission worse off its position. That would also be a gap where the Kingdom of Elland would be insulted by the Stanza Empire"

Liliane notes that many of the side chambers do not know that the Stanza Empire has been secretly seeking to invade the Kingdom of Elland for many years. So it became a soft expression, but if the emperor of the Stanza Empire, who hears rumors, is plain enough to commit an outrage to invade it in grandeur on the basis of the great lie that "a representative of the State Mission of Elland has signed a covenant to be a part of the Empire of Stanza" after killing all the ELGRAND State Missions that have come this way.

(… if the flow of sending a national mission can no longer be stopped. After all, the best thing to do is -)

Put it back in front of you when it gets dark, by breathing quietly.

The limbs, which were about to tremble, were sealed with strong determination.

"For the above reasons I disagree with the proposal of the outer house, which makes the side chamber the representative of the national mission.... As far as I'm concerned, aren't so many of you in favor of it?

"Well... even so, we're not in a position to go against the decision of the outer house."

"That's what Liliane said, isn't it? - Mrs. Magnome."

In a calm voice, Deanna calls Mrs. Magnum. The lady quickly approached me.

"Yes, Red Rose."

"Can I tell you that, although we will continue to deliberate on this matter, in the first place the majority opinion of the House of Lords is that there is a concern that using the side chamber as a representative of the national mission could discredit the Kingdom of Elland, and that the dispatch of the national mission itself is considered premature? - We, as the side chambers of the Kingdom of Elland, obey the life of the royal palace, but that is why it is unpleasant to think that the side chambers (us) are pawns without any thought or will, just moved by the royal palace's decisions. I hope you understand again that even if there is will in the side room and the side room is chosen as a representative of the national mission, it never wanted to be in person or around you."

"I understand. - Must."

Mrs. Magnome's voice had power. She smiles, not acting, and Deanna nods back.

"- Is this the end of a tough story?

It was Yolanda who slapped her hand with a gentle voice. Deanna concurs with Mrs. Magnome.

"Right."

"Yes, Suzuran. - But I can't keep paying you back for all the hard work you've done. Tea and snacks are available, so relax often."

With Mrs Magnum's words as a signal, the ladies and the samurai bring one tea set after another, sweets. Deanna got up with a little laugh.

"Because of this, I'm going to say hello to your friend for a moment."

"Deanna sits silently, though I'm sure you're all here to say hello"

"Normally, but in this order of seats..."

In this impromptu side-room meeting, the 'named' five side by side with Deanna in the center, sitting in a high seat. Jianmae is a format that distinguishes the side rooms of the candidate "named" from the other side rooms. Next to Deanna is Liliane, and I don't think I can talk slowly with all the 'Red Roses' in this seat-lined line.

Seems like Rya, who opined, just said it, sneering bitterly.

"Okay. You'll be back before the tea cools."

"Yes, Master Rhea"

On the face of it, the three 'named' don't stand up with Deanna because they are in a position of non-interference in the factional confrontation itself, even if they lend their strength to it (although it actually brings the neutrals together). Deanna slowly stepped down the steps and toured the desk on the route she had been secretly thinking about during the meeting.

Since the desk is also in principle positioned along the position within the rear palace, before long Deanna reaches the desk where Nasha, Shayla and Ridil sit. Although only Lydil is exceptionally low in this, seating seems to be decided not only by the position, but also by taking relationships into account so that opinions are easy to come up with.

Admitting what Deanna looks like and trying to get up, Deanna controls her just like any other table.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I just wanted to say hello. Take it easy."

"Oh no, Red Rose. It's awesome."

"That's outrageous. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion earlier."

To express my sincere gratitude, Lydill gave me praise, but Shayla gave me my worried gaze back.... Exactly, Shayla seems to have noticed the swings in Deanna's heart.

Deanna slipped her gaze to Nasha so she could escape such Shayla.

(... Oh, yeah?

I wonder what.... I'm somewhat uncomfortable with Nasha, although I can't say it well. It's so small, but it's like you shouldn't go bare.

Observing Nasha and her surroundings to an unreasonable degree, Deanna discovered one of the causes of discomfort.

"... Dear Nasha, don't you have an appetite?

"... oh, I'm sorry"

"You won't need to apologize anywhere. Could it be that you're not feeling well? If so, you've made it impossible today."

"Yes, no, not like that. It's just a little thin here."

"Really? Is there anything else wrong?

Before Nasha, there's only tea with lemons floating around. The dish for the portioning remained white, one piece of baked sweet scraps, and it had not fallen off.

Thinning food is a sign of every illness. Food may be thin, not only from gastrointestinal diseases, but also from the onset of heart disease.

"You can't sleep, or you think you'll wake up right after you fall asleep? That kind of thing?

"No...... especially. I'd rather sleep better than usual."

"Yes..."

"Besides, it's not a big deal when it comes to not being able to eat. Because some things can be eaten normally. The other day, it was a lemon cake."

"Ah. That acidity was refreshing and delicious"

"Yes. So it's not that serious. Thank you for your attention."

From Nasha smiling softly, I can't feel a lie. For one thing, I was convinced, but within Deanna, there was still a subtle discomfort.

(Don't dare, let's just share it with everyone later...)

It is also unnatural to stay only at this table for a long time. Deanna nods.

"Okay. If you continue to be unwell, see a doctor properly."

"Yes, Red Rose."

As she exchanged greetings and left the table, Deanna kept thinking of words to tell her people, including about Nasha -.
