123 Congress, beyond the ghosts of the past




 The Marquis de Cotte is the only one who seems to have a strange atmosphere around him in the quiet assembly hall.
 The Marquis de Cocotte began to tremble and slowly looked around.
The moment he focused on one point, he looked desperate.

I, I, I, I, ahhhhh ......!

 The Marquis de Cocotte, who was shaking and spewing out inarticulate words, was being separated from the people who had been his friends until just now. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Let go! I am the Duke of Cott! I am a descendant of the venerable House of Cott! Don't touch me, you rude bastard!

 The knights of the King's Kingsguard didn't hesitate, though, as the Duke waved his hands around wildly. Alford's order has definitely come down.
 There was no one to protect the Duke of Cott, who was being pulled away from his seat. The same conservatives who had been hanging out with him and the Marquis of Landrose, who had been using him ...... for his convenience.
 The Marquis of Cocotte, who was brought to the same place as the Marquises of Harrai and Merces, glared at Diana with eyes full of anger.

It's all ...... your fault, Deanna Crester! I'm not sure what to make of that. No, it's because you're a Crester and you had the unreasonable desire to become a lady's chambermaid. --That's why everything has gone so wrong!
Stand down, cocotte!
Silence! You're no king without us, young man! You should have listened to our side of the story. You should just listen to what we have to say, since you can't think of anything worthwhile with that poor mind of yours!

 Juke's eyes froze at the unbelievable outburst. The expression on his face, which instantly fell into loneliness and despair, was that of a man whose mind had been tied down since childhood, and who had never been accepted as "Juke" by anyone.
 --I could feel my anger boiling over for the first time today.

"It's you who should shut up, Lord Cocotte.

 It was a flat voice that came out of Deanna's mouth, controlled by her burning anger. Looking down at the council, and only at the Marquis de Cotte, Deanna said plainly.

I'm not sure what to make of me. The seat of the Red Rose and the position of First in Line of Succession are too much for a little girl like me. You can say whatever you like. --But...

 Before I knew it, the council had fallen silent. In the large space, the voice of a cold, scornful, and literally 'evil woman' echoed in every corner.

"Protect the many people who live in this vast kingdom. She is sincerely looking at our lives and even our future, and devoting herself day and night to guiding us. Since he ascended to the throne, has our King Juke ever put himself before his people, even once? Has he ever violated the people by his own right, as you did, thinking that he could just erase anyone he didn't like? --When you have done nothing good, you have used your power to create grief, as you have done. As the head of an ancient noble family, you have no right to insult His Majesty if you don't even understand such a thing. You have no right to insult His Majesty. And you have no right to trample on His Majesty's heart in front of me.

 That's... For those of us who know a glimpse of the Cresta, this is the most important thing.
 It was an eloquent way to show that the current king was recognized by the Cresta.

 It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation. ...... I knew that this line should have been spoken by my brother, who is the link between my friendship with Elgrand, but I didn't have enough self-control for Diana to go through the rage. She still needs more training to reach the level of Madame Magnum.

(...... Well, you and your brother have no real connection yet. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I've been involved with you for a longer time than you have, so it wouldn't hurt to give it up for once.

 Having said all she had to say, Deanna calmed down a bit and apologized to Edward with just a look. He immediately replied, "Don't worry about it," which was probably for the best.
 And. Juke looked back at Deanna in surprise, and she nodded strongly.

The only "King" we have to serve, at least for those of us living in the current palace, is His Majesty Juke de Leyre Elgrand. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work. ...... Let us dedicate the truth of our "Crestor" to the Lord Cocotte, who seems to be "proud" of being an old nobleman.

 Diana proudly announces. The words that have been engraved in my heart since we met in the crypt when we were children.

We are 'nobles' because we are a family that respects its people. We are 'noble' not because we are 'respected' by someone else, but because we 'respect' ourselves. The reason why the old aristocrats are revered is because they have respected the people as much as their history. --When you forget that, you are no longer an aristocrat, no matter how noble your title is.

 Be active, not passive. Be noble before you are noble.
 --If you are to be noble, be a self that is noble in action, not in being.

 This is the family motto of the Earls of Crestor, left by Paulusto, the first Earl of Crestor.
 The first Earl of Crestor, Porast, left behind a family motto: "The Earls of Crestor." Porast, who did not want to become a nobleman, was worried not only about being bound by the troublesome customs of the nobility, but also about his descendants who would be drowning in the privileges of nobility in the distant future. The power of the Sage, depending on how it is used, can make many people unhappy. Porast, who had lived through the war years, faced this reality more than any other of the Wise Men.
 In the shadow of the unification of the peninsula by his own wisdom. He never forgot the blood that had been spilled.
Knowing the horror of the Sage's power, and fearing that his descendants would be swayed by it, he left these words of warning.

 It doesn't matter what it is. Find something you can cherish and cultivate a heart that respects it.
 Don't become a demon who is content to be respected, who drowns in the power of the wise, and who brings the world into chaos.
 It is not your status that should be relied upon, not even the power of the Sage, but what you have done with it.

 Poelast's words became the family motto of the Earls of Clester. They are prominently displayed in the basement of the Count's mansion.
 When the children of Crester first set foot in the cellar, they would first come face to face with Paulast's words, and in the course of their studies they would come to understand the meaning of his words.


 For Deanna, who loved the town, the forest, and everything around her before she even entered the basement, Porast's words were like God affirming her from the moment she met him. As she grew up learning and understanding the meaning of these words, she began to feel empathy and gratitude for her ancestors from long ago, whom she had never met.

 It's okay to move. It's okay to cherish the things you love.
 Because of Porast's words of encouragement, no matter how desperate she was, Diana was able to live without breaking her last strand.
 --Even standing here now. I'll never break that one.

I don't know what you think of "nobility". But at the very least, as long as the title you hold is only for you, and that title is tormenting the people, the same nobles, and even His Majesty the King, I can't see the value in the 'Marquis de Cocotte'.

 That's why I don't value you--.
 The silent lines were miraculously conveyed correctly to the Marquis de Cocotte, who was staggering with anger bordering on madness.
 The Marquis opened his eyes wide, and then.

"Hee. Hee hee hee hee ......!!!

 He laughed in a high-pitched, hair-raising voice that was eerily shrill.
 The Marquess shakes off the knight's restraints, taking advantage of the moment while Diana and the youngsters freeze at the sight of the bizarre scene.
 Edward jumped out reflexively, but the Marquis de Cocotte did not move from his spot. The Marquis of Cocotte, with his arrogant chest outstretched, looks at Diana and opens his mouth.

You don't see the value! You don't know what you're talking about. You don't know anything. Just twenty years ago, lowly merchants with money were disrupting the order of the kingdom. What kind of flip-flops did those lowlifes show to us old nobles who respected and supported them, thinking that respecting the people was the honor of nobility? --How many old aristocrats were cut off due to the arrogance of the merchants in that era!

 Pointing at Deanna, the Marquis de Cocotte's words did not stop.

The Marquis de Cocotte, pointing at Deanna, did not stop. The reason why Viscount Learer's family died out was because the merchant who had supported them because he thought they had spirit betrayed them and they lost all their wealth. The reason for the demise of the Viscount Learer family is because they were betrayed by a merchant who they thought had the spirit to support them and lost all of their wealth.
"Stop it, Lord Cocotte! Stop it, Lord Cocotte! Don't implant that era in the minds of the young with your one-sided views!
Why stop? What's wrong with you? Don't tell me that the tragedy of the House of Learer is not one of the reasons why you are neither a conservative nor an innovator, and why you have distanced yourself from the royal court itself!
"The severance of the Learers was a fate chosen by that family itself. My wife and I know that there is no one to blame for what happened.
"......, you're so beautiful. So why don't you tell your children the truth? Your daughter and legitimate son have never heard of this story.

 I don't even know who to look at. The Marquis de Cocotte and his father were arguing about something that Deanna and the younger generation couldn't get into.
 You can see that the Marquis de Cotte's words are part of the truth, at least from the attitude of Dualis, who does not deny that it is a lie. You can't help but think that the parents' explanation that the Viscount Learer family is no more and that Elizabeth's parents died before Edward was born is also consistent with the truth told by the Marquis.
 She looks at her brother as if to ask for help, and is told to "calm down" by his jade eyes that have a stern color. Edward calmly decides that it would be unwise for him to get upset and break down here.
 He glanced at the two children, and Dualis slowly opened his mouth.

Edward, Deanna. ...... I was going to tell you about your maternal grandparents when the time was right. I'm sorry to have to inform you in such a deceptive way.
"No, Father. No, Father." "It's the 'circumstances' that your father and mother, who answer easily to everything else, stubbornly refuse to talk about. That alone is enough for me to sense that something is going on. If you're still curious, you could look into it yourself,......, but we didn't dare mention it until now because we thought it would be tactless to forcefully expose something that the two of you don't want people to know.

 Deanna nodded at her brother's words. We know the name of my mother's birthplace, so it would be easy to find out if we wanted to. Instead, she waited for her parents to tell her the story as a memory. The reason why I waited for my parents to tell me the story as a "memoir" was because I could vaguely sense from their behavior that they did not want to talk about it, that they did not want me to know about it.
 I was told part of the truth. It was too heavy to be dismissed as a memory, and Deanna felt a sense of regret.
 To these children, Dualis said.

Don't make a mistake. The Marquis de Cocotte's view is far too one-sided. The fact that Crestor keeps his distance from the royal court and stays out of the faction fights has nothing to do with House Learer.
"I understand, Father.
Yes, don't worry. I'm surprised, but I don't believe everything the Marquis says.

 I don't believe everything the Marquis says, although I am surprised. ...... The only thing I know to be true is that Learer's grandparents "hanged themselves".

 Most of the aristocrats who sit on the floor of the House of Lords are aware of the times that Dualis and the Marquis de Cocotte speak of. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the site, you can contact us at the following URL: .......
 It's a little over fifty years since the baronial system began. It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time with your family and friends. ...... What kind of history has this country spun in the not-so-short time? In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to look at the following.

 The seemingly calm Duke of Cocotte, whose eyes are filled with an even stronger light of madness than before, is about to pierce Diana, Edward, Dualis, ...... and Crestor.

"My poor girl. It's not that I don't know what happened to my grandparents, but I don't realize that I'm being carried around, mocked by people who are not even noblemen, who are controlled by their own natural evil and who, in their hearts, underestimate the old nobility.
"Enough, Lord Cott.
"It would have been your grandparents' wish that Shayla Callerd had died and you had been freed from the court and the world. Are you foolishly going to continue dancing?
"Diana, listen to me.
The only way this country can achieve true prosperity is by destroying the bandits who call themselves 'innovators' who lurk in the royal court. --In fact, look at this era. Old customs are being abolished, Elgrand's unique culture is being disregarded in the name of a new style, and even the preservation of precious cultural heritage is being disregarded. Why should the daughter of the ancient noble house of Crestor, the daughter who inherited the colors of the tragic Viscount Learer, protect the innovators who are destroying the kingdom to such an extent? I tried to free you from this nightmare with my death. In time, you will come to regret that you should have died when you did!



 The prophecy of the mad Duke of Cocotte does not bring any special emotion to Diana. ...... If there is only one thing that needs to be said, it is this.

If there is one thing I should say, it is this: "If there is one day I regret this day. If there is one thing I should say, it is not that I wish I had died, but that I regret that your words so recklessly hurt my dear friends who rushed to my aid. I regret that kind-hearted people who felt that my grandparents were victims of "commercialism" would leave me. --To be cruel as a daughter of evil, my future with those who love me and call me friend is far more important than the hopes of my maternal grandparents, whom I have never met.

 Deanna had seen it all. The moment the Duke of Cocotte spoke of the "tragedy of Viscount Learer," Shayla's, Letitia's, Sophia's, and the other members of the entourage's faces took on a pathetic hue. I remember how even Lia and Yolanda peeled their eyes back and gave me a caring look.
 If the Viscount and Baroness Learer had really been betrayed by the merchant and hanged themselves, then they, the daughters of the same 'merchant', would only hurt Diana, and they were struck by a too-gentle self-denial. It wasn't a sin for her family to make a living from commerce, but she felt guilty about it.
 Kind, gentle friends. I don't want Deanna if that's what my grandparents wanted, to hurt them. My mother (Elizabeth) would definitely tell me to care more for the living than the dead.

I don't really care about the revolutionaries destroying the kingdom or the tragic Viscount Learer. I just don't want to lose the place where the people I love are, the simple everyday life there, and the future where everyone will be happy and laughing because of my selfishness. I know that it's impossible that you all despise me in your hearts, but... But even if I were to wander into such a world...

 Deanna laughs, cutting off her words. ...... With a smile that shows everyone that she is happy from the bottom of her heart.

It's a great way to get to know the people in your life. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it. ...... I want the strength to not be defeated in the face of any amount of scorn. I don't want to be defeated by malice and have my heart stained with the same malice, but I want to be resurrected no matter how many times I am broken so that I don't miss the small kindnesses and the beauty of the world. Because you will be much, much happier that way.

 She cares for the world, for people, everywhere. In that moment, her blessed soul wrapped around the hearts of all present with a certain radiance.
 It was as if... --It was like a glimpse of something grand, something that transcended human existence.

It was a moment that was more than enough for me to feel the essence of Deanna Crester, not with logic but with instinct.

"Ah, ah, ah, ......

 The Marquis de Cocotte's knees buckle and he weakens. It was clear that the Marquis de Cotte's heart had completely failed him, not to mention the knight's restraint.
 It's not that he's changed his mind or admitted his sins. The best way to describe it is to say that he despaired in the face of something so big that no matter how hard he tried, he could not win against it.
 Duarisse's attitude changed in the face of the Duke of Cocotte's changed appearance.

"I ask you again, Duke of Cott. I ask you again, Duke of Cocotte, that you have been behind all of this. Are you sure of that fact?
"All for the good of the kingdom. It's for the good of the kingdom. Only by burying all the innovative factions in the palace and returning it to the way it should be will our country be on the right path.
That's why you brainwashed Mistress Tandor through the Bells, harmed Mistress Shayla, and even plotted to poison her through the Star-Gazing Banquet?
"I didn't think I could kill her. I didn't think I would be able to kill her, but at most I hoped the poison would raise suspicion and limit the Red Rose's movements. It worked out better than I expected, and when I heard that the Red Rose had taken the poison, I thought my luck had come to me. ......!
"I see. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to make of that. In addition, the perpetrators of all of this were the three manipulated innovators. Even if we could suspect the involvement of the Marquis de Cocotte based on the bottle of poison that Sophia was carrying, if Shayla had been kidnapped and killed, the paper with the instructions, the bell that called the Ex-Bird, and the rusty silver hairpin that indicated that the food had been poisoned would not have appeared in the assembly, and it would have been impossible to reach the Marquis de Cocotte so vividly and quickly. It was impossible to reach the Marquis de Cocotte so vividly and quickly.
 The Marquis of Harlai, who was played by the Marquis of Cocotte, and the Marquis of Merces and the Knight of Eunos, who moved at his behest. And the idiots who wrote their names on the investigation report and the execution permit would have been the only ones who could have ruined it. However, it is too dangerous to let people who can manipulate such a serious case from behind the scenes without any guilt go unchecked.
 Shayla's work in bringing back the evidence was even greater for the entire kingdom than saving Diana.

(If I may be so bold. (It would be best if she could get to the Landlords' house in one jump from ...... Normal.

 But from what Shayla saw, it seemed like Normard and Liliane were lovers. If Normard really liked Liliane, he would not confess his connection with her even if he was captured. If he made up a story and pretended that the Duke of Cocotte and Normard had a friendship, he would have no way to hunt down Liliane for this matter. As expected, the royal court would not be able to touch Liliane based on a single testimony of an encounter between Master Peony and a man with red and silver hair, which one of her aides happened to see at a night party. If you do that, you'll be on a par with Eunos, who captured Diana with the slogan "For the sake of the Red Rose" as his motive.

 Probably no one in the allied camp, including Dualis, thinks that the Duke of Cocotte, who answers Dualis's interrogation easily, is really the "mastermind" in the true sense of the word. The Marquis de Cotte, who tried to cut down the Marquis de Harrai, is also the tail of someone even higher up. This time, he was entrusted with the role of coordinator, and due to the irregularity of Shayla's return with the evidence, he was determined to fail, but because of his own convictions, he chose to protect the "top" and be cut down himself.
 Perhaps, at that time. At that moment when my eyes met his.

(The Marquess of Landrose, a leading radical conservative in both name and reality ......)

 The Marquis de Landrose's eyes, looking at the cornered Duke of Cotte. The Marquis of Landrose's eyes, as he looked at the cornered Duke of Cottage, were those of a man who sees no temperature, no emotion, only the irrelevant.
 Looking into the eyes of the Marquis of Landrose. The Marquis de la Cocotte gave up the path of clinging and defending himself in despair.

 The air in the assembly changed drastically when the Marquis de Cotte, who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes, admitted to all of his deeds.
 The crimes they had attempted to commit against the Red Rose, the first in line to her entourage, were too serious, and the council seemed to be moving on to the deliberations against the Cottons.

"Your Majesty. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who'll be able to help you.
"Yes, Mondria. You are right, Mondria. The people in the palace have also done you a great favor. If there is a need, I will send my guards after you, so go back to your palace and rest.

 At Jyuk's words, the women who had filled the hall of the council all bowed beautifully in unison. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. ...... I don't think Sophia is going to do anything bloody now that her brainwashing has been lifted, but I suppose she needs to be watched for a reason.


 Leaving the circle of entourage preparing to pull out, Sophia approached Belle, who was now unconscious and barely clinging to her chair. Somehow, from her profile, she could make out what she was saying.

"Thank you for everything, Belle. I'm sorry I've always been so dependent on you. I'm sorry I've been so dependent on you for so long. ...... I'm so happy that you're here and that you and your brother have spent so many happy days together.

 I'm sure you'll be very happy with the results.

I wish you would have told me if you were in love with each other. I would have blessed you more than anyone if you would have become a real sister to me. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who's interested in you. ...... I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one who's a little nervous about this.

 From Sophia's eyes, many small grains trickled down, trickled down, trickled down. She clasped Belle's and Rhyno's hands tightly together.

I will continue to pray to Lord Amenos and Lord Isanos until the day I die. I will pray to Amenos and Izanos from now until the day I die. The reason they did this is because I was selfish and brought Belle to the palace. I will take their sins with me to Isanos. ...... So please, brother and Belle, rest in peace in the bosom of the Goddess. --May they never be separated again.

 Just as Sophia said her heartfelt prayer. Deanna saw it for sure.
 The light returned to Belle's eyes, which should have been devoid of any self-respect. She saw her lips move awkwardly.

"--......

 The miraculous words were indeed spoken. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you have. ...... Ryno's body also crumbled as he followed Bell.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
 I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it. ...... The voice from behind her reached Diana's ears, but not her heart.

(Why?

 Why must I be mourned? How could Belle and Rhyno, the people Sofia cared about, be lost?
 They've sinned, that's for sure. But as long as we're alive, we'll make mistakes no matter how hard we try. Isn't it human to make mistakes and start over each time, and live only one life? To make a mistake, realize that you made a mistake, and then not even be given the chance to start over.

(Two is one, a pair of patterns.) (-Two for one, a pair of patterns. Eating people, a fairy tale told in folklore.

 I'm not going to give you a second chance. If anyone gave it to them, knowing that they would eat people.

(...... is unforgivable. I can never, ever forgive that person.

 There must be other enemies besides the Marquis of Landreth who are unseen. If we don't get to him, there will be no future for Diana's loved ones in the true sense of the word.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.


  † † † † † † †


 The heads of noble families and courtesans from all over the country gather at the assembly, and the royal palace is deserted.
 As if to take advantage of the unpopularity, a man appeared deep inside the palace, in a hidden courtyard.

"Oh, Monsieur Liliane, ......!
Baron, it's a pleasure to meet you!

 Fluttering his characteristic red and silver hair, the man embraced his daughter who was standing in the garden. The girl, dressed in the clothes of a common maidservant, however, exudes nobility in her demeanor.
 She shakes her petite body and says.

I'm not sure how you feel about your health, Baron ....... You've been falling asleep a lot lately.
"Oh, you are so sweet, Liliane ........ I'm not going to let this opportunity to meet you be wiped out by a physical problem.

 The man's voice was hoarse and his cheeks were thin. The man's voice was husky, his cheeks were thin, and his hair, which he was proud of, was somehow in order, but overall, he was morbidly thin.
 Only her eyes shone brightly in a face that had lost its healthy luster.

"My dear Princess ......, I am truly sorry. My dear princess, I am truly sorry that my pawns were not good enough, and that I almost let your tormentors escape.
What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You did a great job of manipulating the pawns and cracking open the innovators.
"Hime ......
No matter how hard you try, Sophia Tandor and the other high-ranking members of the Red Rose Faction will not be able to stay in the palace. The woman who failed to protect her subordinates will not be able to make a big face either. ...... Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a comeback.

 The man smiles meltingly as he takes the girl into his arms.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that. That word alone is ......!
"......, though, Baron.

 But, Baron. The girl's voice lost its temperature.
 The man must have sensed this. He untied his arm and faced the girl.



"Dear Liliane, ......
"That d*mned woman has already been traced back to you. ...... and I'm convinced, without proof, that she's connected to you.
I know. I know where the leak came from, ...... because I've been told it's being watched.
As soon as the Congress is over, they'll be on you. --Of course, I know that you will protect me to the end.

 Her pretty face was stained with grief. The girl came out of her bosom.

I can't bear the thought of you being humiliated by those lowly people.

 She took out a small bottle and gently dropped it into the man's hand.
 I can't stand the thought of you being humiliated by those lowly people. There is a liquid inside that has the power to take the life of a man.
 A man could see that, and yet...

"Ah, my princess!

 The man holding the bottle was jubilant. The man holding the bottle was jubilant. ...... No, this is as far as you can get, it's called 'rapture'.

I'm prouder than anyone, more merciful than anyone! If I could die for you, I would be so happy!
"Baron ......
"Madame Liliane. It is the greatest happiness for this normie to be able to give his life for you.
I'm also very happy to see you.

 In the hidden courtyard, the two men and women slowly looked at each other.

"So, my princess. I'll go to Llanos first.

 The man gulped down the contents of the vial in one gulp.
 The man slurps down the contents of the vial in one gulp, and when he sees that her throat has risen and fallen, the girl smiles the most beautiful and happy smile she has ever seen.

The Baron...... please go on your way. You'll be able to move your body of your own will until you get back to Villa d'Ortia.
"Madame Liliane ......
Thank you, my dear, for loving me. Thank you, my love. ...... Rest in peace with your illusions of happiness.

 No sound, just once. Their lips came together.
 With a look of euphoria, the man leaves the garden.
 The girl in the maidservant's dress looked after him until he was out of sight.

"Are you sure you want to do this?
"Yes. The potion will slowly take effect, and soon you will be asleep and not breathing. I'm sure the people at Cresta are aware that Normard was using the same life-destroying tools as the pawns. Even if they see him dead in his home, this will make them think that the 'tools' took his life.
"Don't call me for this nonsense.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, but we didn't expect the man to have lasted this long without a mental breakdown. ...... He must have kept his ego intact just to see you again. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had it.
"I kept him around because he was convenient. You can't even bury a lowly Callerd girl, so you were useless after all.

 The sweetness of the past is no longer in evidence. She spun around on her heel.

She spun around on her heel, "You have no more business here, do you? I can't wait to go back to my room and take off this humiliating cloth.
"Very well, sir.
The ...... Red Rose should have been right around the corner. How long will I have to stay in that place, in the Peony Room?
You may have lost Cott, Hurley, and Mercer, but there are still many who can help you. The Red Rose Faction, on the other hand, will be devastated by the loss of Tandor. There's still room for a comeback.
"Yes. If she wants to be the queen, she'll have to do whatever she wants. ...... You really are a curious one. She's been given the Red Rose Room, but she doesn't want to be queen, she wants to give it to someone else.
I'm sure you're not the only one. If you take advantage of that naivety, you can continue to break them down.
"We, the old ones, are here to restore the kingdom to its true form. I must become the rightful queen no matter what.

 "I must become the rightful queen no matter what." She said firmly.
In the Peony Room, Liliane Landreth, the lady-in-waiting, left without a sound.
