Unfortunately, her first trip to the palace did not go without incident, but she still managed to complete her assigned task and was able to pass through the gates of the palace once again. --However, unlike the first time, when she departed quietly, she shocked the inhabitants of the palace in every way.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty. --Your Majesty, the Red Rose.
"Mmm. Thank you for your service during my absence, my lady.
I'm home.

When Master Magnum went to greet her, she found not only Diana, but also His Majesty the King himself, who took the Red Rose's hand and smiled majestically. Master Magnum, who had already been informed, was not surprised, but the ladies who were enjoying the last day of the Advent Festival in the garden and the cloisters were not, of course.

"Hey, you're ...... with the Red Rose?
"After all, you are deeply in love with the Red Rose. Anyone can see it in that smile.
It seems that the day will soon come when the Red Rose will become a queen in both name and reality.

As usual, the Red Rose family members who were enjoying the stalls in the courtyard shouted with joy when they saw the two walking close to each other.

"This is ridiculous. ......!　This is not possible!
The Red Rose must have seduced you. What cunning tricks did that vixen use this time!
No, I mean you. I'm sure she's just pretending to be cajoled so she can get to the Red Rose and find out what she's up to.
That's unforgivable. That woman, with her triumphant look on her face, ......!

The Peonies, who had spotted the two of them through the salon's corridor window, were lucky that they couldn't see them from the other side, and spat curses at them.

"...... Oh my. I don't know what happened to them.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. Is it related to that, by any chance?
"Either way, I'm sorry, Deanna. Your smile is twitching.
To be led by His Majesty's hand through such a crowd of people is a punishing experience, don't you think?
Well, I wouldn't want to.
I agree with Lia.

The three named people who were hiding and waiting to greet Diana's return were taking advantage of the fact that they were not under fire to analyze as they wished.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

This is exhausting. ......
It's an honor to be recognized by .......

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. A group of capable maids quickly prepared tea for her.
Diana smiled at them.

Thank you for taking care of me. It must have been hard with the preparations for the soiree.
It's an annual event. It's always the same. We've had a lot of fun as detainees.
I'm sure that's not true, but ...... I'm sure the three of you are tired after just getting back. Can you tell them to take a break after they finish unpacking?
Yes, sir.

The three maidservants who accompanied her on her journey are now in the back of the house packing up Diana's belongings. I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
Hearing Deanna's words, one of the maids nodded and disappeared into a back room. Juke, who had been watching the scene, finally calmed down and opened his mouth in admiration.

I'm sure the maids in this room really adore you, .......
It is not because of me, but simply because they realized that my rumors were false and opened their hearts to me. I'm the one who's grateful.
I'm sure it's because of you that the maidens were willing to open up to you.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

I'm sorry, Madame Magnom, for the uproar this has caused in the palace. I'm sorry, Madame Magnum.
"Not at all. This is Your Majesty's inner palace. You are welcome to come here at any time.

She bowed deeply, but Diana hadn't missed the obvious hatin mark on her head from the moment she was greeted. --Probably the same for Juke. Her eyes hesitated, wondering how to explain.

I told him it would be enough to make friends at the party tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a bit of a jerk.
But then you would not have been able to know the usual behavior of the ladies on your side, would you?　Isn't it because you were caught off guard that you were able to attract so many unreserved glances?
"I admire your spirit of wanting to see the palace as it really is. --But if you get tired of it, you won't last the night tomorrow, will you?　You have a duty to explain the situation to Master Shayla tonight, don't you?
"Yes, I know!

It was not hard to imagine that Mrs. Magnum and Mia were surprised by this exchange. She smiled bitterly and looked at the two ladies who had been guarding her.

"Simply put, I've made my peace with you.
"So ...... seems.
"Your Majesty has seen that I am not as bad as people say. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with the money you have and how you're going to do it.
That's also ....... Is this also the guidance of the god Amenos?
It was a journey of worship that brought us together, wasn't it? Maybe so.

Seeing Deanna's calm, relaxed smile, the ladies also relaxed and smiled.


I'm not sure what to make of that.

But I never thought the ...... ladies would be so deadly. I even felt malice towards you, Red Rose.
"Being the king's favorite has always been an object of envy. It's no different in the world of men and women.
"But you're the first in your entourage. "But you are the first in line. Why should I be jealous?
There's plenty. First of all, I'm a countess. I'm of a lower rank than the Marquesses. In the first place, I'm sure there are many people who don't like the fact that I'm the Red Rose.
I wonder if that's true. ......

Suddenly, Juke's words became jerky, and he seemed to remember something. His gaze wandered to and fro.

Secondly, I am 'Deanna Crester'. I'm a woman with a reputation at the bottom of the social ladder. The more sensible of you would be loyal enough to tell me that it's absurd for you to be on good terms with me.
...... It's all a misunderstanding, isn't it?
Yes. At least most of the rumors about me are ones I don't remember. I'm not sure how you got the idea that I like to seduce men. ......

In fact, Deanna doesn't really know what she's talking about. In fact, she is not really aware of this point. As a noblewoman, Deanna has been taught how to seduce, but she rarely uses it aggressively because she feels that it would be painful for her to imitate the adult seduction techniques that her mother and aunt use. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
I'm sure you've heard the rumors. ...... Of course, Deanna just doesn't know it, but there are many men who lose themselves in her icy beauty, and there are also suspicious men who say, "Step on me, JoOusama! There are also a lot of suspicious people who say, "Step on me, JoOusama! But Edward took care of them before they could notice her. One of the results of this is the backstory of a pathetic man who was torn to pieces by the Rose of Ice and Fire, but Deanna, who doesn't know anything about it, just tilts her head.

...... Well, no matter what the facts are, it doesn't make any difference that I have the worst reputation. I'm sure most of you would agree that it would be unthinkable to make me your queen.
But at the same time, there are those who would like to see you become queen, are there not?
Are you referring to those who have lately been cozying up to the Cresta family?
Do you not deny that they are your father's cronies?
You can't deny that they are your father's cronies? I'm sure you can figure out that the Cresta family doesn't have much power with a little research.
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out that the Cresta family doesn't have much power with a little research. ...... It's true that the jobs the Cresta family has inherited are menial, off the books jobs. I've done a little research myself, and there's no such thing as official power in the Crester family.
Right?　And yet, there is always a certain number of people around our family who are always misunderstanding what we do and how we do it.

This may be partly due to the fact that the current head of the family, Dualis, has a 'bad guy face' that is hard to find even in the history of the Crester family. She has a face that makes it impossible for her to claim that she hasn't done anything wrong. I'd like to think that it's not unreasonable for one or two fools to want to take advantage of her.
Deanna sighed.

I'm sure those people are convinced that if I become the rightful queen, my father's power will be strengthened, and at the same time, I will be able to enjoy the benefits. However, there is no such thing as a good deal in the world. As for my father's entry into the center of the world, there will be far more people who will cry out to stop him than those who want him to.
"...... because of the notoriety of the Cresters?
"My family and my father's notoriety is nothing compared to my own. If my rise to power in the court is connected to my father's rise to power, that alone is reason enough to stop me.

In reality, Dualis would not be bothered to wield her power even if her daughter became the queen. She prefers to spend her time lazily in her domain rather than working vigorously in the center. If it wasn't for ......, the Director of the Inspection Bureau would never personally call the Director of the Archives, who has almost no work to do, to tell him to work.
However, there is no way that those who believe that Dualis is the "king of the underworld who controls the evil of the kingdom" can see through Dualis' true nature. It is a shame that, thanks to the fact that he is surrounded by such people, even the most ordinary noblemen are whispering that Dualis is aiming to seize the center.

...... So even you, whose father is being watched, are subjected to such stares?

In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll be able to find a great deal more information on the web.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'll try.

It's a good idea to take a look at your own personal life. But ...... the influence of any man must fade when he is gone.
I'm sure the former Baron de Carreld would be uncomfortable with a new 'father' like that.

This was the first time that Juke had made a clear statement about Shayla's 'current guardian'. It was the first time that Juke had said anything about Shayla's current guardians since the garden party, when Deanna had pretended that the two idiots didn't exist in order to weaken Shayla's feelings.

I have not mentioned them since the garden party. "If you are referring only to that one incident, my handling of it was poor. It would have been quicker if I had just let it go more calmly and easily. I was trying to protect Shayla-sama, but I ended up showing the stupidity of those people, and I really don't know how to apologize to Shayla-sama.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this. ...... The presence of those people will also be a disadvantage to Shayla.
Fortunately, Baron de Carreld's behavior at the garden party was blurred by the incident of the former headmistress Maris. But that's only for this term, isn't it?

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please feel free to contact us. They were not invited to the soirées to which all nobles were normally invited, and they were not allowed to hold their own soirées or tea parties. If they were invited personally, that was their choice, but not many people would be foolish enough to invite a person who was banned from the royal court.
The reason why the punishment of a one-time ban on social gatherings was settled is because Diana, the Red Rose, the person who was insulted, did not make any complaint. Incidentally, the only reason Deanna didn't say anything was that she was so overwhelmed with the garden party and the corruption of the former queen consort that she completely skipped the matter of suing that idiot.
In addition, Juke, who wanted to protect Shayla, and the people who didn't want to make a big deal out of it got mixed up, and the result was that Shayla was suspended, which was harsh for her but not so bad for the others. Deanna nodded in agreement, hoping that Shayla would not have to see her joking aunt and uncle, even if only for a short time.

It will be more difficult than ...... imagined to make Shayla the rightful queen.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. If Shayla doesn't want to be a part of this, I will not be a part of it.
...... I thought you were supposed to be helping me.
I am first and foremost on the side of the women who work hard in this palace.


Yeah, right. Oh, by the way.

Juke seemed to remember that Deanna was the Red Rose, the protector of the palace. He smiled bitterly.

If that kind of gaze is a daily occurrence in this palace, ...... you must have had a very difficult time.
"No, not really. I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm sure you'll find a lot of people on your side who will understand. ......

She looked around at the maids, at Mia, at Master Magnum, and smiled. Her sea-blue eyes glowed with a gentle light, letting everyone know what was on her mind.

I'm sure you're right. ...... Yeah, I guess.

When Juke nodded, the maid of honor who had been waiting in the parlor came out and told him that Alford had come for Juke. Turning his attention back to Deanna, Juke stood up.

"Thank you for the food, Red Rose. ...... I'll be back.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Yes, Your Majesty. I'll be waiting for you.

She stood up with a smile on her face, bowed deeply, and sent Juke off, making sure that the presence on the other side of the door was gone.

I'm not sure what's going on here.　I wonder if that's what Ria and the others were talking about.
I'm sure you can tell me about this, but first, please explain to me what happened on the road. The palace is being turned upside down before the soiree.
I thought it would be too rough a treatment, but... I thought it would be too rough, but Your Majesty had a point, or perhaps I was simply overwhelmed by enthusiasm.
So, please, explain it to me.
All right, all right, all right. All right, all right.

As soon as he raised his head, he and Mrs. Magnum hurriedly exchanged information with each other.
