Chapter 3: 3 First night

The King of the Kingdom of Elgrand, Juke de Lail Elgrand.

At the age of 22, he is a young king with silver hair and ice blue eyes, with a reputation for bravery and courage at the point of a sword, compassionate and unforgiving of injustice.

At the same time, he has a childlike streak, refusing to take a wife until he finds a woman he truly loves, and is the reason why his vassals finally got fed up and decided to lift the ban on his palace.

For Deanna, he is the number one person she does not want to have anything to do with.

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

I'm not sure what to make of it. Her body has been polished and carefully massaged. You're ready to go when you put on your pure white nightgown.

"Oh, ......, how beautiful you are.

Your Majesty will be touched by this.

Thank you, ........ Thank you, everyone. Rita and the rest of you, please stand back.

The royal court ladies and maids of honor bowed and left the room without pursuing the matter too deeply, as if even the Rose of Ice and Fire was nervous. The moment the two of you are alone, Deanna erases the smile that she had gutted and clings to Rita.

I'm not sure what to do, Rita ....... I'm not sure what to make of this.　Is Your Majesty more of a nibbler than you think?

"Please calm down, Master Diana. Perhaps the faction that pushed for Diana's entry into the palace is exerting some pressure on her.

Truly, those people are always going off on tangents ......!

In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a few things you can do. She never even wanted the king's favor from the beginning.

In the first place, the Crester family has always been in favor of romantic marriage. As is the case with the current head of the family and his wife, Dualis and Elizabeth, they are on good terms with each other. There was no way that Deanna, who had grown up watching her parents up close, would want to marry someone who disregarded her will. In addition to that, there is no such thing as a "one-night stand," which is the norm among the nobility. She is a person of chastity, a rarity in today's world, who firmly believes that it is only meaningful to be united in body and soul with someone you truly love. There is no way that Diana can fulfill the most important role given to a daughter of the court.

To share the bed with the king and conceive an heir" - that is the raison d'etre of women in the palace. For this purpose alone, the daughters are gathered and kept in the cage of the palace, so to speak. There is no will of the daughters or even of the king.

I don't want to share my bed with anyone other than the man I love, even if it's the king.

When it became an inevitable reality that she would enter the palace, Diana declared so in front of her family. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's interested in this. The armor that protects "Diana Crestor" and is unnecessary in the palace, but is more precious than anything else, is the armor she wears, and she has come with determination in her heart.

But the reality is...

As if to ridicule her.

Rita bit down on the impermanence of the world. I don't know what the people around her think, but her master does not want her to flourish in the palace. He should have just left her alone and not put any pressure on her.

But there's no point in saying that now. Rita changed her mind and decided to encourage her master.

"Dear Diana, please be strong. Based on our investigation, I don't think His Majesty likes to come to the palace. If we play our cards right, we can get by without sharing a bed.

"Oh, I see. All I have to do is make her hate me!　That's great, Rita. Leave it to me, I'm very confident in my ability to make the righteous hate me.

I'm confident in my ability to be hated by the righteous." "That's a ...... confidence in the wrong direction, though.

It seems that Deanna was so confused that she got stuck in an out-of-control thought process. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't deny the content of your confidence, so Rita is wondering how she should follow up. I hate myself for thinking that the best way out of this situation might be to hope for the blood of the Crester family.

Thanks to the fact that Rita didn't make any corrections, Deanna had just finished putting together the main plot of "Operation Make Her Majesty Hate Me" when there was a commotion on the other side of the door. We both looked at each other and nodded.

"Dear Diana, I wish you the best of luck.

"Yes. We have a plan. We just need to execute it.

"......, don't do anything too crazy.

I'm just trying to give the Lord a warning that he can be a bit of a dick when he gets confused. I'm sure he'll be fine when the time comes.

I made sure Deanna was kneeling in front of her bunk and stood by the door. Soon a voice echoed from the other side.

"Your Majesty has crossed over.

Rita, open the door.

"Yes, my princess.

Open the door from the inside. Standing on the other side was a young man with the same appearance as in the preliminary investigation. A young man with auburn hair, standing a step behind him, looked at Rita and spoke.

"Are you ......?

Yes. My name is Rita, Master Deanna's handmaiden.

Right. Tonight, you will spend the night here. You will come with us.

"As you wish.

Rita bowed deeply and a man with silver hair walked past her. Seeing him off, Rita left the Red Rose Room, being very careful not to show her inner anxiety.

Meanwhile.

Diana, who was left in the room, was of course silent, waiting for an action from His Majesty. She's in the midst of her "Operation Hate Me", but that's not the point, she'd be a disgrace to the parents who raised her if she acted unprofessionally.

"...... That was quite a grand entrance. Do you already feel like a queen?

I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it. Without even bothering to examine the content, Diana replied.

I don't understand what you mean. Was that too much to ask?

"How many days have already passed since we sent the notice in the spring?　The word is out that Miss Clester has taken her time with the bridal kit and has entered the palace with a bang.

...... I didn't know there was such a rumor.

The Crester family, as usual, has always been interpreted in the wrong way in everything they do. In fact, because of the last minute search for a way to avoid entering the palace, there was no time to spare, and only a minimum of hastily prepared "bridal equipment" was brought.

"Stand up, Deanna Crester.

From the first word to this, the other person's voice is cold. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

"I know .......

I'm sure you're aware of it." "To be precise, it's the people who think they're surrounding your father. It's not a force that Dualis intended to create, by any means.

But make no mistake.

The words that came to me were as sharp as an arrow and as cold as ice. You can find a lot of people who have been in the same situation for a long time. --And then...

You're only a wife. And even if the world ends, I will never love you.

As I imagined, I came face to face with ice blue eyes filled with anger and hatred.

The man in front of me was probably the young king of the kingdom of Elgrand, Juke de Leyre Elgrand. He has silvery-white hair and ice blue eyes, and he is looking at Diana with disgust radiating from his entire body.

If he hates you from the start, good for him. Deanna couldn't contain her joy and smiled.

...... Please, as you wish. Your heart is your own. It's not up to those around you to decide who you love.

"-Hmm, wise one. I'm sure you've got some top-notch skills at getting men to do your bidding.

How did you come to that conclusion with that ...... line?

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea. That's why I'm tempted to spend an hour or so explaining to them that there is no truth in my words.

--Well...

(Your Majesty, you look very pale. ......)

The report said that he was probably tired, and that he was working on political affairs without sleeping well, but if you see him up close, you will realize that this is neither a lie nor an exaggeration.

To put it bluntly, he looks as pale as if he should be sleeping if he had time to come to the palace. He may be running recklessly because he is young, but just because he is young doesn't mean he won't die of exhaustion.

(...... I should force you to drop it. That's the most constructive way to go.

As the daughter of a nobleman in the service of the state, protecting the king's health is my top priority. I'm sure you'll agree with me.

"...... Your Majesty, I'm going to have a cup of herbal tea before bedtime, would you like to join me?

"Nonsense. You think I'm going to drink your tea?

I knew you would say that.

If you don't want to drink it, don't drink it. There are many ways to bring down a tired man.

I pulled a cart to the side of the king, Juke, who was still standing guard, and prepared a few herbs, a pot, and hot water. When he poured hot water from a high position into the pot containing the herbs, the scent of the herbs rose along with the steam.

"Is this ......?

I told you it was a good night's sleep tea. Doesn't it smell nice?

"Oh, yeah...

It seemed to be working while I was saying it. When he wavered on his feet, Deanna lightly fanned him again to let the steam cover him.

"What's this?

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sure you'll have a great time. ...... You're tired, you should get some rest.

As if guided by Deanna's voice, Juke wobbled and collapsed on the bed. Soon, he heard a faint sigh of sleep, which instantly told him that he had fallen asleep.

(Good grief, what a pain in the ass)

The herbal scent that Deanna used has a sleep-inducing effect. The scent of the herbs used by Deanna has a sleep-inducing effect. If it is used on a normal person, it will only slowly induce sleep, but if it is smelled on a person who is extremely tired, the scent alone will have a high sleep effect.

As she pulled the covers over the sleeping King, Diana thought about him.

He seems to have a strong sense of justice. He seems to have a strong sense of justice and a willingness to do his duty.

But on the other hand, he seems to have an overly simplistic view of things. He takes the rumors about the Crester family at face value and doesn't doubt that they are true. He thinks he can see everything from one angle.

It's a bit dangerous, isn't it ......?　That was Deanna's impression of the king. If she doesn't grow up a little more, and acquire a multifaceted perspective and the thoughtfulness to always search for the truth, she will become a sitting duck for the nobles who are good at mending the surface.

At any rate, should I consult with your father and brother?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
