Chapter 2: 2 Ikyu

The season moves on, summer...

"So, Master Diana. From this day forward, you may use the Red Rose Room.

"I understand.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

*******************

In the Kingdom of Ergeland, the rank of "Count" is quite high. In the event that you are a member of the royal family, then you are a duke, which is a vassal, a marquis, which has served the royal family since the beginning of the country, a count, which is in charge of an important territory, a viscount, which is in charge of a distant area, and finally a baron. These are the middle ranks, but in reality, there is a huge wall between "Count" and "Son," and even within "Count," there are unspoken ranks.

In fact, it would not be surprising if they were given the status of "princes", and nobles of the lower rank of "princes" would have to refrain from joining the family. In the Kingdom of Ergeland, which has a strict status system, this family can be considered an exception.

A princess with such a family would not be treated with disdain in the palace.

What do you want to do, Princess?　"What do you want to do, Princess? The Red Rose Room means that you're a candidate for the regular princess, right?

"You've been treated better than I expected. ....... I guess it's just a matter of family rank. I'm sure there are some marquises who have been admitted to the palace. I don't like it when it's this blatant.

At present, there are nearly fifty princesses in this palace from the marquis, count, viscount, and baron ranks. Diana, who doesn't like to waste anything, can't help but feel the unproductive nature of this place.

"It's useless, isn't it, the Inner Palace? It might be a good place to quickly find out what His Majesty likes, but don't you think it's too crowded?

You're right, Your Majesty. If you have fifty people, will you be able to find His Majesty's preference or will you run out of energy before you do? ......

Even if he slept with a different woman every night, it would be difficult for him to have a child if the timing wasn't right.

It is common knowledge in the Cresta family that timing is the most important factor in a woman's ability to bear children, next to love. In light of this, the thought that a few hits will eventually hit the mark in the palace is just lousy. In fact, there is no place where it is more difficult to have a child than in a properly functioning palace.

Even if you do have a child, it will be a boy or a girl, and if it's a boy, he will be the next king ....... It's a place where you can't even genuinely love a child. I don't think it's a very practical place.

Diana is very kind. ...... Oh, I'll make you some tea.

Thank you, Rita.

Rita is the only maidservant the Countess has brought with her. She is the only maidservant from the Count's family. They are close in age, grew up together like sisters, and know each other better than anyone else. When the decision to enter the palace was made, she begged her parents and brother to take Rita with them. Although they said it was not a good idea to take a servant from their family home, they finally bowed to Rita and asked her to take care of their daughter.

I heard that some high ranking ladies tried to bring a lot of maidservants from their parents' home, but the lady in charge of the palace stopped them in a hurry.

"Of course. The budget of the palace would be overwhelmed if the number of maidservants were to increase to fifty. The national treasury is not inexhaustible.

"You were also worried about that, weren't you, Master?

In order to minimize the burden on the government, the Cresters took care of all the preparations for Diana's entry into the palace. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had a bit of trouble with the whole thing. ...... But I can't help but wonder why that act has made the Crester family more and more infamous in the public eye.

Con, con.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. Rita asks.

"Yes, who is it?

I'm the head of the palace's administration, the Master-in-Chief. May I come in?

Excuse me.

Deanna urges her to open the door with her eyes and Rita runs to it. Deanna gets up, pulls back her chair and waits by the desk.

Come in, please.

Thank you.

The woman who came in was a plump woman in a dark blue overcoat over a maid's dress. As soon as she entered, she stopped and stared at Diana intently.

"...... something?

"No.　No, I'm sorry.

She walked to the center of the room and bowed to Deanna, as if regaining her composure.

I have never seen you before. I am Sarra Maris, the head woman of the court.

"Maris ......, are you related to Count Maris?

"I am ashamed to say that Count Maris is my husband.

I see. Nice to meet you. My name is Deanna Crester. It's a pleasure to meet you.

They greeted each other and looked up at each other. Smiling, Deanna continued.

I have lived on the estate all my life, so I do not know much about the etiquette of the royal court. I would appreciate it if you could guide me from time to time.

"No, not me!　I have nothing to teach the Red Rose at ......!

"So ......?　Then you have no choice.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help you.

I understand.

In the meantime, ......, the headmistress left the room quietly and hurriedly. After seeing her off with a blank expression, Diana looked back at Rita.

"How do you think ...... they interpreted it?

Yes, ..... This is a great way to get the most out of your time and money. I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "It would be helpful if you could guide me from time to time," to "Be my hands and feet.

...... No one even thinks that.

As usual, Deanna is taken aback. It is at times like this that I feel the thoroughness of the Crester blood.

Countess Deanna Crester.

Her nickname in social circles is "The Rose Princess of Blooming Ice and Fire".

Her sun-gold hair flows down her back in gentle waves, and her shining blue eyes are the color of the sea. Her mother's two beautiful colors, however, have been artistically transformed by the blood of the Crester family.

Cool slit eyes, high nose, glossy red lips. Her beauty instantly captivates men and women of all ages, but it also terrifies them. She has no mercy for those who defy her, and with her euphemistic smile, she moves men to do her bidding.

When she has an idea for fun, her smile is as cold as ice and terrifying, yet her glamour is as beautiful as a blazing fire - the dreaded rose.

She made her debut at the age of 15, and the rumor spread quickly.

"To tell you the truth, there were always rumors that I didn't know anything about. I don't know why we Cresta's have such a tendency to put unexpected subtext behind our words.

"It's because people around us are scared. If you listen to them normally, you won't hear a subtext.

That's true, though.

Deanna is a young lady of nobility. She has been looking forward to her social debut as much as anyone. She has been living in the territory for a long time and has been longing for the outside world.

However, the moment she was escorted by her brother into the ballroom for her debut, wise Diana gave up on socializing like a normal person. That's how strong the stare was.

Deanna was surrounded by people with calculating eyes, and the way men of her age looked at her was even fearsome. At fifteen years old, Deanna has a beautiful body with a lot of potential, and they look at her as if she's their "plaything for the night". You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.

"How about ...... tonight. Would you like to have a good time with me tonight?

"No, thank you. I'm making my social debut. You know what that means, don't you?

For some reason, this phrase, which implied that I was a pedophile with a passion for a 15-year-old girl, was taken to mean that you were not wanted, and that there were more suitable people to make a grand debut. After that, every time you exchange a few random words, you'll be interpreted in a different way. ...... Before you know it, you'll have earned the unwelcome title of "the most evil woman in society.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but my reputation is not good and I'm at the bottom of the heap. Why did they give me the Red Rose Room?

I'm sure you're aware of that.　In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

...... That seems very likely. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do.

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 family knew that Deanna's temperament was not suited for the court.

In spite of this, it was rumored that Count Crestor had pushed for his daughter's entry into the Inner Palace for the sake of his daughter's love and to seize control of the center, and Diana herself was believed to have entered the Inner Palace in order to become the rightful queen. There are many reasons for this misunderstanding, though.

There are many reasons for this misunderstanding. But before that, I have a feeling that socializing in the inner palace will be troublesome. ....... I don't know how I ended up in this place.

"Hey me, Diana-sama....... I'm sure I can protect you and find a way to get out of the palace!

Thank you, Rita. You're my only hope.

I'm sure I'll find a way to get out of the palace. ...... There are many things wrong with a conversation between a squire and a lady on her first day in the palace and given a room for a potential queen. But Deanna and Rita were very serious.

Kong, Kong.

Then came the second knock of the day. Rita goes to answer it and announces that the maid and maidservant are here.

Ask them to come in.

"Yes, sir. Please come in, ladies and gentlemen.

Rita opened the door and about ten maids and two maidservants came in. By the way, it's easy to tell them apart, their clothes are quite different.

"Red Rose, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am the lady's maid Mia, and I have been assigned to the Red Rose Room from today. This is Aila, also a lady-in-waiting, and Yuri, the second-in-command.

Nice to meet you.

We will serve you with all our heart and soul.

The two who were introduced bowed to me. When Deanna realized that the three of them seemed to be the top, she smiled and opened her mouth.

Thank you for your kindness. I am Deanna Crester. This is my maid of honor, Rita, whom I brought from my parents' home. You and Rita will be staying with us from today. I look forward to working with you.

When I returned the greeting, one of the maids who had been bowing to me - I don't know her name, but I was struck by her unusual black hair - looked up in surprise. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. ...... I wonder if I've misunderstood something again.

"......, Miss Diana. I'm sorry.

"What?　Yeah, what is it?

Before I knew it, we were all looking up. I nodded to Mia, and she opened her mouth, gravely.

--She said, "Tonight, His Majesty will be coming to us.
