44 [6] A woman named Nina

There was an unexpected intruder in Berta's peaceful routine in the rear palace.

She applied to Berta for a formal visit and showed up in that seat in a very temperamental outfit.

It seems too stirring as a costume for a tea party at noon. Her wide open chest caught her eye when her white breasts did.

"I have a favor for Her Highness today."

Berta knew the woman for once.

She was a woman who had been a candidate for Harold's sideroom for a long time. It's one of those Petra factions that was forming behind the blurry Berta until now.

"- Please raise me to His Majesty's bedroom."

However, unlike Berta from the south, she was the daughter of an emerging aristocrat in the north.

The girl - Nina - bowed her head politely as if there was no single error in her claim.

Since Nina's offer was so unexpected, Berta, as well as the women of Berta's palace, could not react immediately.

"I ask Her Royal Highness, who has become the mistress of this rear palace. I know it is in Her Royal Highness's service to take charge of Her Majesty's ladies, as she did earlier."

Nina looked like she was intoxicated by her own behavior, then driven by a strange sense of crisis.

(Would you like to go home?

One of the samurai gets confirmation with only her gaze, but Berta first shakes her head and denies it.

Now I was just concerned about the girl in front of me.

"... Nina"

When Berta called out her name, she raised her fearful face in such a way that the weak beast was frightened.

I didn't know this girl very well.

Among the Petra women who were united as factions against Marguerite, she was less prominent.

Many Petra women officials in the rear palace miss Berta. I thought they had more or less mastery of it, and the fact remains that there are no apparent problems within the rear palace.

"Nina, unfortunately, that's not my authority."

Nevertheless, Berta herself felt that the outside mornings were a delicate situation, and that she would not continue to squeeze in the rear palace.

Unlike when they were held back by the Marguerite faction, there was an atmosphere aimed at what they thought was awkward and the opportunity to approach His Majesty.

(But I didn't think she was the one causing the problem)

I thought she was a dear daughter. I don't think she's ever taken any action for the better or the worse, and she never came to see me actively to be recognized by Berta.

I'm sure she's not originally the kind of daughter to go into this kind of bold action. All of a sudden I don't understand the thought circuit that comes directly to the Queen, not even His Majesty himself.

"Why is that? Your Highness, I'm afraid you know what we've been wasting our youth and spending our days in this rear palace for."

From her character, I'm sure she's forced to come out in front of Berta. What is keeping Nina that far?

(Nina...... what was she like)

"You were Count Jimeno's daughter. I don't know if that was enough when I got here."

Berta continues with her opponent a little more, as she puts in her exploration.

"We've been serving for five years."

"I wonder how old you were five years ago."

"I'm fifteen."

At fifteen years old, I can snort this young man if he hasn't been humiliated by his parents for five years after being placed in this closed environment.

Thin eyelids and lips add a slightly colder look to her appearance. But moist eyes like small animals and the silky facial contours represented unfinished cuteness.

Nina was a very cute daughter. If she were also the daughter of the Count family, albeit an emerging nobleman, there would surely have been many more possibilities if she hadn't even entered the rear palace.

"Is your father, Count Jimeno, aware that you went into such an action?

Berta's candid sentiment was that there was room for sympathy for women like them.

Nevertheless, from the point of view of the Queen now, how Berta responds to her is a different matter from her personal feelings.

"... no, my father has nothing to do with it"

"Then it's fine that it moved at your discretion."

For her bold actions, Nina turns a blind eye as if she was immediately afraid of the pressure that Berta put on her.

Feeling somewhat abusive, Berta waited for a reaction from her.

"My father's not bad. … I, I just admire Your Majesty"

I wonder what Nina actually thinks as she loses her youthfulness for him while remaining snoring young. The momentary emotions that dwell in her eyes were not at least understandable to Berta as a feeling of reality.
