Chapter 122: 122 Congress, the last card

Sofia's gait was more steady than I had expected. Mia and Yuri were with her, but they did not support her. She walked slowly on her own, passing through the side chambers that had silently made way for her.

"Bel, brother ......

She was momentarily shaken by the sight of her brother and his attendant sitting in the chairs next to the witness stand, but she made it to the king's seat without losing her footing.

Sophia slowly bowed her head and took the formal nobleman's bow.

I greet you, Your Highness. I am Count Tandor's daughter, Sofia.

The assembly shook in silence.

Volz, who had been bowed to, must have known Sophia's face, of course, but he had not expected her to appear here. In spite of his surprise, he kept his eyebrows moving lightly, as if he didn't feel anything, and looked down at Sophia.

"Well. You've been in the news a while ago, haven't you?

"Of course, sir. It was my brother who gathered the men to take Master Shayla from the palace and kill her. I heard that my maidservant Belle was the one who guided him inside the palace. I myself have been a source of trouble to the Red Rose many times in the palace. --I know it's rude of me to ask. Why am I not summoned to the council as a witness when I am supposed to be in the middle of this?

Sophia looked up and her eyes were clearer and calmer than I had ever seen them before. The fanatical, glittering face that I had seen at the Stargazing Banquet was nowhere to be seen.

At Sophia's quiet words, Volz smiled a little.

"Indeed. If you want to blame the Red Rose for your actions, you need to hear what you have to say.

"...... blame the Red Rose for my actions?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean. You'll be able to't read her intentions, and Deanna can only stare back in silence.

What did she think of that, Sophia smiled slightly.

I've been told that this council is to decapitate the Red Rose for allegedly plotting to kidnap Master Sheila Callerd. Have you had a chance to talk to her?

The investigation of the palace and the evidence brought back by Mistress Shayla Callerd have proven the Red Rose's innocence.

"...... If the Red Rose's innocence has been proven, then the purpose of the council has been fulfilled, hasn't it? So why do you use words like 'responsibility'?

I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it. You are a powerful member of the Red Rose Faction, and the blame for not being able to control you is now being discussed.

The air in the assembly was so noisy that I wanted to look away and wonder what the discussion was about. It is true that it was an exchange of words, so it is barely a discussion.

Sofia smiled softly at Volz's very concise explanation.

The one whose behavior in the palace is in question is not the Red Rose, but me. In the event that you've got a problem with the way you behave in the palace, it's not the Red Rose that's in question, it's the Red Rose who's innocent. ...... The people of the Outer Palace want to drag the Red Rose through the mud, no matter what.

That's ......!

I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean. Not out of anger, but because the essence of ...... the point was so clearly made that they were struck dumb.

The Marquis de Cocotte, who was trapped in a corner, brought up Diana's "responsibility" in a desperate attempt to prevent her from being a flawless "Red Rose". This is to impress upon the nobles present that the current Red Rose is also at fault, and that even if she had nothing to do with the kidnapping, a little girl who cannot even control her own faction is not qualified to be a full queen. The complete 'defeat' for the conservatives would be if Deanna were to ascend to the position of full queen in a single bound.

The reason why Deanna dared to go along with the Marquis de Cocotte's agitation was because she had no intention of becoming a full queen in the first place, and thought that it would not matter how her reputation as the current "Red Rose" would be affected. There was no way that Juke and Volz would take the Marquis de Cocotte's falsehoods to heart and place the blame for everything in the palace on Diana. This is why I decided to accept the Marquis's words and let my guard down, and get back to the question of who was responsible for the kidnapping, which he was trying to cover up.

(No, I didn't think that Shayla, let alone the three of you, would be seriously offended. ......)

(No, I didn't expect you three to be seriously offended, let alone Shayla.) Even if it's just a pose, you won't allow Diana to be undermined. I'm sure you're aware of that. I can understand if you mean that you won't tolerate insults to the current "Red Rose" as a lady of the inner court, but what you just said was against Diana personally no matter how you interpret it.

In other words, it has always been Clester's specialty to reliably kill his enemies in exchange for his own bad reputation. You don't have to be so angry about it.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and what you can do to help.

You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life. She does not hesitate to devote her heart and soul to the happiness of the world, but she is completely unaware that she is a part of it. You can't even imagine how frustrating it was for us to be there, being protected and saved.

(Huh?)

Before I could even think that there was something wrong with the story, Sophia's words didn't stop.

"I know I'm taking it out on you. The reason why I couldn't listen to the Red Rose's words and continued to do evil according to the justice I believe in is certainly because of the Red Rose herself. --If left unchecked, Diana has a dangerous tendency to just give happiness to those around her and then disappear like smoke, without regard for her own happiness.

What's wrong with wanting the person who saved us to be happier than anyone else?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

I'm sure you'll understand. I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that, but I think you've misunderstood the situation.

"...... misunderstandings, sir?

It's nice of you to stand up for me, but the truth is, I haven't been as auspicious in my dealings with the palace as you might think. I'm not sure what to say about this, but I think it's ...... something that happened 80% of the time.

You may think that you were just letting things happen, but to those of us who were saved, it doesn't seem that way.

And what kind of fairy would give happiness to those around her and then disappear before she knew it? I'm one of those people who live in the mundane world, I have my desires, I'm selfish, and I want to be happy in my own way.

I'm sorry, but there's nothing like Diana-sama's desires that don't bother other people, her selfishness is cute, and the standard of 'happiness' you seek is too low and out of line with the general public!

It's fine if you're happy with it!

If that's the case, please tell us exactly what you want from the beginning. If you reign so proudly at the top of the faction, I'll assume that you want to be the queen!

"I was only imposing because I had to!　I was only imposing myself because I had to! I never said anything specific about what I wanted, but I did say that I wanted to be a queen. ......

I was about to say something, but then my words trailed off. I remembered the last time I had a real conversation with Sophia and the others, at a tea party.

(Come to think of it, ......, we did talk about how the "rightful queen" should be a woman that His Majesty loves, but ......)

I didn't say that. ....... I have not been told whether or not I myself desire the position of 'full queen'.

"I did not ask. On the contrary, the way you said it, I misunderstood you as if you were killing your heart and stepping down for the happiness of others.

In the first place, I don't have a heart to kill. ......

If that's the case, you should have said so from the beginning.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. If you say ......, you will probably get angry and say, "Then say it properly, including that! I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.

I'm sure there were some things I didn't say well enough. But at least I was pretty clear about what was going on in the palace.

"Yes. It is all because of my inexperience that I could not accept your words as they were. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been doing this for so long. ...... In the first place, all of my actions since the beginning of the year, when I cowardly tormented Master Shayla, were because of my own stupidity. I'm sure you're not the only one.

Sofia's speech is very good, she seems to be talking to Deanna, but in fact she is appealing to the whole council. It's not that I don't like it, but it's not that I don't like it. The parliament, a place where the ability to make people listen is required, is the perfect stage for Sophia.

Sophia breathed in quietly.

My sins must be atoned for. But before I do, I would like to say a few words of apology to the Red Rose.

...... Is there something you need to apologize to me for, Master Sofia?

I have a lot to apologize for. I went a long way to misunderstand your true intentions.

My true feelings?

Yes.

Slowly, Sophia laughs.

I'm sure you're aware of that. In the beginning, I thought it was for the purpose of gaining control of the palace, but after seeing her for six months, I understood that she was not seeking power, but peace. And yet, ...... I was wrong about the 'reason'.

"Reason?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why. That you endure suffering because of your love for Her Majesty.

"Let's see... ......

I've never seen such a healthy misunderstanding, even though it's the nature of "Cresta" to live life as it is and parade misunderstandings. I felt awkward and looked at Juke.

"Red Rose ......, how do you usually talk to me?

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to do. She put her hand on her forehead and sighed deeply.

It's not so much that we're talking as that we're not talking about it. It's not like I'm talking about it. I don't want to talk about my personal life with you.

"Isn't it because of your pretensions that Tandor's daughter misunderstood you so?

I'm not suffering or enduring anything in particular. ......

The difference between you and me would be puzzling to those around you if it were known to some extent that you and I got along, but you never mentioned it. I can understand your concern that you may not be as happy as rumors make you out to be.

We talk like this, we write to each other frequently, and we have a very normal relationship, you know?

Why are you telling me this now?

"I'm sorry about .......

On the surface I apologized, but on the inside I wanted to say, "I don't care what people think about my love life! I don't care what people think of my love life! 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 not sure if you can imagine that ...... would be taken the other way at all.

The air in the assembly eases a bit as a result of the familiarity of the exchange. Sofia smiled.

It is true that one of the reasons why I misjudged Diana's heart was because of her words and behavior. But for me, it was only one factor.

"Is that so?

Yes. I assumed that Diana really wanted to be united with you and be next to you in name and reality. ......

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one.

"I don't know why you would think that ...... because Bell said so. It's not a reason.

"Master Sophia, .......

I've heard that Belle was born into a small merchant family in the Tandor territory. But when she was a little girl, her family died of an epidemic,......, and her father took pity on her, and took her in as a servant, and from an early age she and her brother were brought up like real brothers and sisters.

...... More and more, Belle's situation is becoming more and more similar to Rita's. It seems that Rita was also an orphan.

When I was young enough to remember, Belle was always there to play with me. From an early age, Belle was sensitive to the moods of others and could sense the good and bad moods of adults. I'm a simple person, and I tend to take things as I see them and hear them and not question them," she said. "But thanks to Belle's sensitivity to people's unspoken feelings, I've never had any serious conflicts with my friends.

It goes without saying that Sophia has a simple and straightforward personality. More than once, I felt that it must be very difficult to live in an aristocratic society where people read every word behind the words, but Belle was playing the role of an assistant.

Without knowing it, I had become dependent on her. I assumed without question that Belle's words were correct, and that because she said so, she meant it. ...... I failed to recognize Belle's secret thoughts.

"Sofia, sir.

I'm not sure what to say, but I think it's a good idea. I believed her when she said, 'I'm so happy to see that you and Your Majesty have found a deeper connection. I believed him when he said, "Although you love His Majesty, you seem to be feeling uneasy because you cannot see where His Majesty's heart is," and then he said, "I'm sure that His Majesty is ready to step aside quietly if he is convinced that His Majesty's heart is not in him. I'm sure the Red Rose will be ready to step aside silently if she is convinced that His Majesty's heart is not in her, but will she be happy with that? ...... simple and shallow, I could only think of eliminating Diana's obstacles.

I've been with you since before I can remember, you're like a sister to me. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

If such a person were to tell you the painful story of someone you care about, you might believe it before you even know for sure.

--And...

It's not as if Bell's "true feelings" about Sophia were completely off the mark.

Deanna herself was not even aware of it. She didn't even think that her reputation as "more beautiful" would follow her when she returned from the Festival of Descent.

It's true that Juke and I had a heart-to-heart after the Descent Festival. ...... However, Juke was not the only one who showed his heart to each other during those ten days.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. You always give me the words I want most, when I want them most. --Even the future, which I had almost given up on unconsciously, was placed in my hands as if it were nothing.

"Let's go sometime. Let's go sometime... to see Shouji, the house made of it, and the town.

I didn't know that until you said it. I knew that I had been longing for that future, but had assumed that it would never come true.

I wonder if he is aware of it. --I wonder if he is aware of the fact that I was trying to kill him without even knowing it, saying, "A future where I continue to protect the happiness of the people I love is not so bad. With a single word, she scooped me up.

The "world I've never seen" that was supposed to end up in my imagination, in my longing... The "unseen world" that was supposed to end up in her imagination and longing became Diana's certain "future" when she was invited to go see it as a matter of course.

Under the starry sky that seemed to be falling at any moment. Deanna's future was limitless.

(With hope, with an eye on the future. (There must have been days when she was afraid because of .......)

Because reality doesn't always work the way you want it to. When will you be able to fulfill your promise? When will the promise be fulfilled? Will ...... he really wait for me until then? Will he get tired of waiting and go somewhere unknown to you? And even if that happens, there's nothing Diana can do to keep him.

Because she was not aware of her heart for him. I didn't even realize that I was worried. But even if Bell, who seemed to be very perceptive, saw through the fluctuations in my heart, which were certainly there when I thought back, I couldn't argue .......

In the depths of the unconscious. You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.

"...... Deanna-sama?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure if I'm a good person or a bad person. I'm sure you're not the only one.

"No, Master Diana. Please don't make a mistake. Even if Belle misunderstood, it would have been better if I had asked her about her true intentions before I believed her words and acted on them. If I had done that, ...... none of this would have happened.

Sophia quietly turned on her heel and made her way to the center of the assembly.

...... Before long, silence reigned in the chamber, so deafening that it was almost painful to hear.

As if to break through the invisible wall of silence, Sofia took a deep breath.

I misjudged Master Diana's true intentions and proceeded wrongly. I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with the money you have.

"Sofia-sama: ......

Shayla quietly called Sophia's name. Looking back, Sofia smiled a little.

You are reading story The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl at novel35.com

"I was foolish and short sighted. I have no right to blame the people of the Outer Palace. --Because...

I don't know why I was so upset when Sophia cut me off. ...... A hunch cried out for her to be stopped.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

I certainly wished that Master Shayla would die. I'm sure she wished she was dead. I don't think the palace or the world needs a woman who can just walk around and interfere with Deanna's happiness. I thought it would be better if she died, so I moved to kill her. ......

"Master Sophia!

I hate the distance between the defendant's seat and the chamber. I don't know why I'm here.

Because now I know what Sophia is going to testify about. --It's only going to push her over the edge, and it's not going to save any of us.

I'm sure that Deanna's voice was heard when she prayed not to say anything more. No one downstairs dared to interrupt Sophia's words.

I hated Master Shayla so much that I wanted her dead, but it's not so easy to acquire the skills to kill a single person. I was living a depressing life, with His Majesty and Diana witnessing me harming Shayla-sama, and the scrutiny becoming more and more strict. One day, Belle said to me, "With the help of a certain person, we are going to be able to obtain a poisonous potion. With the help of a certain person, we may be able to obtain the poison. The food at the Stargazing Banquet will have a name tag on it, so we can be sure to target Sheila Callerd.

"Oh, my God, Sofia.

"Bel is telling the truth, that's how it works. She reported that she had obtained a bottle of the potion before the feast, tested its effects on the fish in the pond, and then poured the contents over all the food placed on Master Shayla's table. But there was still some poison left in the bottle, so I decided to keep it hidden during the feast, just in case I failed. I tried to turn the 'star gazing banquet' that His Majesty ...... had held for us ladies into a horrific murder scene.

Deanna finally couldn't stay where she was. As she turned around to go downstairs, a stern voice called out to her.

"Where do you think you're going, Deanna?

Where do you think you're going, Deanna? I'm going to interrupt the council and stop Master Sophia.

You're the defendant now. --Stay where you are.

"Father!

Deanna's voice was almost a scream as the order was given in the full voice of the head of the family.

"The purpose of this council has already been fulfilled, hasn't it? There is no need for Master Sophia to speak in front of you.

It's not for you to decide. It's not up to you, it's up to His Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Countess of Crestor to decide.

Then why don't you stop Master Sophia?

"Because I think her words are necessary. What other reason do you have?

Dualis is far away in the council, lower than Diana. 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.

It's a great way to make sure you don't get caught in the middle.

I told you in the beginning. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"No. ......

I will not allow you to interrupt Miss Tandor's words. ...... You know that. You know that no matter how much you try to fix it, the truth will never go away.

Heavy, heavy words, Dualis. ...... I know. Even Deanna knows the truth.

Even if it's the result of manipulation. The fact that Sophia put a bottle of poison in Shayla's pocket to kill her and force her to eat food that she knew was poisoned doesn't change that. Even if Deanna risked her life to pretend that the poisoning racket did not happen, she could not erase the fact that she tried to poison him with the intention of killing him in her heart.

The plan didn't succeed, and Sophia didn't take anyone's life, if you only look at the result. ...... But if you ask me if that makes her innocent...

(Even attempted murder is an acceptable charge when the evidence is there. ......)

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future. This is where the real genesis of the ...... kidnapping of the favored princess lies, to be sure.

You will find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. Dualis's voice echoed.

"My daughter begs your pardon. Continue, Miss Tandor.

"Thank you, Count Clester. Count Crestor.

Sofia's voice is calm. You can tell she's really grateful to Dualis.

On the other hand, the nobles in the council, who were suddenly told something extraordinary, seemed to be too surprised to find any words to reply.

You can feel from the silence that everyone is waiting with bated breath for Sophia's next words.

I tried to make Shayla eat the poisoned food at the Star Gazing Banquet as planned, but it didn't go well. --I was stopped by none other than Diana.

There was a loud roar from the council. When I looked up slowly, Sophia was looking at Shayla with a wry smile on her face.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work. ...... You knew it was poisoned, didn't you?

I've never heard of poisoning, to be exact. But a person I trust more than anyone begged me not to touch the food. I just thought that it must be very serious, since that person said it in such a grim voice, and that it must be important for his life.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before. ...... and Diana stopped me from doing so. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

I can't get the words out because I'm choking. As soon as I accidentally inhaled, I felt as if I would cry out like a child.

She hadn't expected Deanna's answer from the beginning. Sofia continued on.

"Deanna pretended to fall over and protect Shayla from the poison by overturning her table. --Not only that, but she proved her suspicions about the poison itself to be unfounded by eating Shayla's fallen food herself. Since that meat was the main dish, Belle must have sprinkled the poison carefully. To be honest, I'm very curious as to why you are still here.

Sophia's question was answered by a giggling Dualis.

I'm not going to let you underestimate an old family that's been around for 300 years. I'm sure the family would have died out in a heartbeat if they had been killed by something like poison.

...... You have a fierce history, don't you?

But it is not so easy to escape the effects of the poison. On the night of the feast, Diana must have been suffering from the effects of the poison and was in a state of unconsciousness all night.

"Yes, of course she did. I thought I was working for Deanna's happiness, but somehow I put her life in danger. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I have. ...... It was Bell who obtained the poison. Bell may know about the antidote as well. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Then, at dawn, Master Magnum told me that Diana was safe and that Belle had helped kidnap Master Shayla for Diana's sake.

Sophia confessed her sins in a simple, chronological order. As only astonishment filled the assembly, Sophia took out a palm-sized glass bottle from her pocket.

"Here is the bottle of poison that I have been telling you about.

The women in the center of the room were unmoved, in contrast to the seats, which shook violently. The women in the center of the room remained motionless, in contrast to the seats, which shook violently. ...... Is this what you had planned to do? The confession of the "poisoning spree" is.

In Sofia's hand was a beautiful pink glass, finely crafted, instantly recognizable as a fine article. It's a beautiful, streamlined shape. It's more like a poison bottle than a ...... bottle at a quick glance.

"Isn't it a beautiful item?　In fact, these jars are not originally used to hold drugs that kill people, but are used for cosmetics that make women more beautiful.

Once again, the ladies of the court nodded in agreement to Sophia's explanation. --Master Magnum steps forward.

I asked the maids about the bottle that Master Sophia was carrying. When I asked the maidservants about the bottle that Master Sophia had, ...... the royal maidservant to the Marquise Marcia Cocotte said with a blue face, 'Where did you find the bottle? She said. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can call us at our own website.

The Marquis de Cocotte stared at Madame Magnum, who could not stop speaking.

But that's not all. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the site, you can call us at our own website. ...... If something should happen at the banquet that would ruin Sheila Callerd's table. It is said that he was ordered to 'throw the dead fish that are up on the side of the pond into the pond and make an unseemly noise at best.

A shiver ran down my spine. --The fish that were floating in the pond at the stargazing party. The maidservant who screamed when she saw the fish.

It's normal for a family to prepare and send a package for their daughter in the palace. Even Deanna, during the "Starry Night Banquet," was fully indebted to her parents, including the Nolan Trading Company. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: ....... In the event that you've got a lot of questions, you'll be able to contact us at our own website.

You gave away the bottle yourself. He hunted down the serious maidservant who was worried about it and staged a suspicion of poison. If the Marquis de Cocotte was the one who obtained the poison, Marcia, who was in charge of handing it over to Bell, must have been aware of the situation.

--In other words, this is...

"Marquis de Cocotte. The Marquis of Cocotte, can you tell me what happened when you prepared this poison in response to my foolish desire to kill you? The Marquis said earlier that Diana, the Red Rose, was also responsible for a series of disturbances in the palace. --I'm not sure what to make of that, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I don't think I need to tell you which one is to blame.

"Don't be ridiculous!

The Marquis, with a red face, shouts. The Marquis shouted, red-faced, at the top of his lungs, but Sophia was not daunted.

The Marquis has been a fool all along.　The Marquis knew from the start that I was disturbed by Master Shayla and even wanted to kill her. That's why he went to the trouble of obtaining the poison, isn't it?

"I see. If the Duke of Cotto was even involved in obtaining the poison at the Starry Night Banquet, it proves that the attack on the Favored Princess by the Red Rose Extremists, which started in the first place, was also the Duke of Cotto's intention.

It is impossible for the Duke of Cotte to be aware of the murderous intentions of Miss Tandor, with whom he has no connection whatsoever, unless he was behind the scenes from the beginning.

What? Not only is he the main culprit in the kidnapping of the favorite princess, but the bullying of the favorite princess before that was also arranged by the Duke of Cott. And he's also involved in the plot to use the Star-Gazing Banquet to poison the Princess. --I'm not sure what to make of that.

No!　It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web, as well as the information on the internet.

It's because the Marquis brought up the issue of Diana's responsibility, right?　If you are talking about responsibility, Diana, who protected the palace with her life as the Red Rose, the first in line to her side, has fully fulfilled her responsibility. That is all I can testify to.

"Shut up, you little Tandor girl!　How dare you speak so freely of a sinner?

I'm telling you because I'm a criminal. I'm the one who should have been sitting in the accused seat, not you, Diana. I am acquainted with Oleg, the Lord of Bel, Rhyno's sister, and Rhyno's friend. And indeed, I plotted to poison Master Shayla. I was not aware of the kidnapping of Master Shayla, but I cannot say that I am not to blame for the crimes my brother and Oleg perpetrated and Belle helped to perpetrate. Shouldn't the blame for the maidservant's lack of supervision fall on me before Diana?

Sophia's clear voice resonated well, and her clear arguments reached the ears and minds of her listeners. Sophia's power to make people listen is so powerful that it is a pity that she has let it run in the wrong direction.

(...... though I can't turn back the clock. If I had faced Sophia with all my heart and soul from the moment the Red Rose Faction was formed. (If I hadn't thought that factional strife was too much trouble, and had picked up on the sorrow behind Master Sophia's voice)

No one understands me anyway. If only I hadn't sulked like that and tried my best from the beginning. If I hadn't been so sullen, I might have been able to tell Sophia how I really felt about her, just as I did about Raia and the others. ...... If I had done that, I'm sure none of this would have happened.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. ...... Crying here is unfair to all.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you, but I'm sure I'd be able to. He shook his head significantly.

The attempted poisoning that came out of nowhere doesn't have a shred of credibility!　If there was such an incident, why didn't you explain it earlier?

If there was such an incident, then why didn't you explain it earlier?" "Because the topic of this meeting was the kidnapping and murder of Sheila Callerd by the Red Rose. If the council was going to adjourn on that subject alone, there was no need for Master Sophia to appear. --The reason why we were forced to talk about the attempted poisoning at the 'Star-Gazing Banquet' was because the Duke of Cocotte himself pursued the Red Rose's responsibility for the series of incidents.

The calm Madame Magnum's explanation can be summed up in one word: "The Duke of Cocotte had it coming. As a result of trying to humiliate Diana at any cost, the court was forced to play its 'last trump card'.

It is true that, with regard to the "Starry Night Banquet", Deanna was aware of the poisoning of the food in advance, and worked with the relevant parties to prevent the incident from occurring. When the suspicion of poisoning was raised, she tried to protect the peace of the palace by gambling that she herself would eat the food from the table. --Looking at that alone, it can be said that she more than fulfilled her responsibility as the Red Rose to protect the order of the Inner Palace.

However. In the event that you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. ...... I never thought that Sophia, and everyone in the palace, would break that unspoken agreement and try to protect Diana.

For Diana, who was protected, and for the Duke of Cocotte, who received the final blow. This "trump card" was unexpected.

Shaking his head over and over again, the Duke of Cotto called out.

"You're making it up!　I don't understand what's so good about the Red Rose. I don't understand what's so good about the Red Rose, but those women have been brainwashed by the Red Rose and are making up a saga of the Red Rose by making up an attempted poisoning that never happened!

"Huh?　Even though Miss Tandor has a bottle of poison in her possession, would she think of such an agonizing excuse?

"Even if there is poison in that bottle. Even if there was poison in the bottle, there would be no proof that the poison was actually in Sheila Callerd's food!

"No.

Pretty and strong. No," Shayla denied the cocotte duke's accusations.

Shayla stepped forward, her eyes glowing with anger.

Sheila stepped forward, her eyes glowing with anger, "My food was indeed laced with poison at the time. I have the physical evidence to prove it.

"...... What?

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

This is the silver hairpin that Master Diana wore at the time of the feast. It seems that the thin hairpin was easy to pull out, and it is thought to have fallen out of her hair when she destroyed the meal to save my life. --I found it by chance in a meal that had fallen to the ground and picked it up.

That's it. It was the "Snow Moon" hairpin given to me by ...... Shayla, who had decided not to pretend to be something she was not, no matter what happened.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them in the market.

Sheila handed the hairpin to Dualis, who was standing beside her the whole time.

Count, please check it out. The silver hairpin is brand new and has never been used, but it has some unnatural rusting in places.

"Hmm, I'll take a look. ...... I see, it's definitely rusty.

You can find a number of factors that can cause silver to rust, but since the purpose of the banquet was to go stargazing, Master Magnum knew that many of her family members would be wearing silver ornaments, so she did her best to eliminate the factors that can cause silver to rust from the banquet. It had been worn by Master Diana since the beginning of the feast, and I had kept it after it fell off, so the only time it had a chance to rust was that one moment when it fell to the ground with the food on my table.

The more Shayla spoke, the more the color of the Duke of Cocotte's face changed from red to blue and from blue to white.

The more Shayla spoke, the more the Duke of Cott turned from red to blue and from blue to white.

Shayla unleashes the final word. --"The table, of course, contains silver.

"Of course, there is no silver rusting on the table. But if the silver frog was rusted by the fallen food... If the silver frog was rusted by the food that fell on it, then my table was laced with 'elements that cause silver to rust' - that is, 'poison' - which Madame Magnum did not take into consideration. This rusty silver frog is proof of that.

As if to succeed Shayla's words, the women of the palace stepped forward.

This bottle of poison came from Master Mercia's family. Master Mercia's handmaiden testified to that.

She is also the one who threw the dead fish into the pond and caused the 'poisoning scandal'. ...... At the same time, she is the one who threw the dead fish into the pond and caused the 'poisoning scandal'.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the best way to get the most out of the game. If the suspicion arises that the dish that Sophia recommended to Shayla contained poison, Diana, who is in a position to unite the Red Rose Faction, will suffer. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

The words of the cold, yet somehow fierce, three "famous" people stain the air. There is an unmistakable feeling of anger that dominates the three of them right now.

If a poisoning were to occur within the inner palace, it would obviously cause an uproar that would involve the outer palace. In order to avoid this, the Marquis must have anticipated that the Red Rose, with her strong sense of responsibility, would risk her life to eliminate the 'poisoning scandal'. In order to ensure that Shayla's life would be extinguished this time, he arranged the kidnapping, taking advantage of the fact that the Red Rose had been poisoned and the entire palace was in a state of flux. And even then, she did it with the utmost care, appointing a separate perpetrator and keeping herself out of the public eye.

Mrs. Magnom, who speaks without hesitation, is completely devoid of emotions, and it is clear that she is exercising self-control to avoid letting her emotions get the better of her. Diana already knows that Madame Magnom, who is always calm and capable, is actually a compassionate person who can take on such a big role as the chief lady's secretary at Fiona's request, and that she has a wealth of emotions behind her strong mental strength. She is a woman who should be counted as one of the best noblewomen of this era, though in a different direction than her mother (Elizabeth).

Such a lady, Master Magnum, is now... She is confronting the one who tried to bring down Diana with everything she has.

"Master Oleg, brother, manipulate the mind of ...... Bell. He manipulated the minds of Oleg, your brother, and Bel to create the illusion that everything would be fine as long as Deanna became queen. I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been so impressed with your work. --Where is the driving force behind your decision to go that far?

There was more emptiness than anger in Sophia's voice as she asked. I'm not sure what to make of that. This is the reason why ......, more than anyone else, she may be able to realize that there is nothing more empty than the happiness that comes from sacrificing others.

--It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
