47 2. Ancient Legends (1/2)

Tiara Rose has a small garden dedicated to Aquasteed.

The garden, which was planted with colorful roses, also added the blooming pink flowers of Tiara Rose, which grew daily into a beautiful place. The gardeners, of course, but the fairies in the woods come to visit and take care of the plants as they do every day.

At the entrance to the garden stands the escort Tarmo, and near Tiara Rose, who sits at the table, the samurai Filine refrains.

So while having a tea party, Tiara Rose was staring at the old Marine Forest map she had brought to Talmo. I put the current map on the side and am also looking for differences between now and the old.

”After all, the city is so much bigger than it used to be”

It has grown more than once, and I can see the increase in the population with my eyes. In addition to that, there were more villages around here, the Wang capital. When I think of how it develops calmly, I know the royal arms very well.

- From now on, I'm going to be a part of it.

Though I'm a little confused when I think about it, I think if I had Aquasteed I'd be able to handle it.

Looking at the map, I realize that the mountains behind the castle where I currently live and their surroundings have not changed for a long time. This is just where Keith, the Fairy King of the Woods, lives, so I can nod that humans aren't hands on it.

”But normally, you're not supposed to know this is Keith's territory.”

Is it some kind of hard place to put your hands on?

Maybe it's a royally owned land, so keep it that way, there's a good chance. Besides, unlike kings, fairies often show their faces for what they do, and sometimes they pay attention.

Tiara Rose thought there was also an operation to extend her legs from one end to the other where she was concerned...

Thinking about where to start - the voice of Filine calling Tiara Rose gets in my ear. Looking back at what was going on, Aquasteed, who had stepped down his stewardship, had just shown himself.

”Dear Aqua! Good job.”

”Thank you, Tiara. I heard you were looking at an old map, did you find anything interesting?

”Ugh, that's not particularly true...”

Laughing a little troubled, Aquasteed also said, ”Really?” and smile.

I look at the map as I sit in my chair and narrow my eyes in nostalgia.

”You haven't changed much around this castle. It's the place that leads to the woods where Fairy King Keith lives, so I'm sure no one's got their hands on it. This is royal land.”

”The royal land...... means that the place where the fairy king lives is managed by the royal family?

It seems that what Tiara Rose expected was a hit, and when asked, Aquasteed nodded. As far as the land inhabited by the Fairy King is concerned, it is forbidden to build buildings, as well as cities and villages. For this reason, Aquasteed said the area is managed by the royal family from generation to generation.

- So, does that mean the royal family knows where the Fairy King lives?

When he did get exposed to Keith, Aquasteed came to me to help by finding out where he was. Thinking about it, I guess there's some material or something left.

But I don't think there was anything like that in the library, but one convinces me that there's no such important material anywhere anybody can get it.

”I mean management, or so that the Fairy King can live comfortably. It's always been the rule not to put your hands on it.”

”Sure, the fairies prefer nature”

Aquasteed snorts at Tiara Rose's words as she sips tea. The fairies of the woods show themselves, along with the laughter they whisper when they do.

It's Tiara.

”Oh, I know this! Map! '

”Good day. It's amazing how you know the map”

I think you know a lot more than that when you look at the fairies looking at the map that you spread out for fun. If you show me where you are now with your fingers, I'll say, 'I know!' And I get a cheerful reply.

”The map was taught to the king.”

”To Keith? Looks like a big mess, you should take care of it...”

As Tiara Rose admires her, she asks what else the fairy has taught her. Aquasteed also seemed interested when it came to fairy upbringing, and he listened quietly.

Jumping full of little feathers, I'm trying to remember what I know as' Afterwards'.

'Speaking of which, you were the first to tell me about the ring!

”Ring?”

'Yes, there's an important ring! A ring is the one Tiara is wearing!'

Look at Tiara Rose's left hand pharmacopoeia finger. Is this the ring? And I strain my chest so that I know. The gesture is adorable and I admire you for inadvertently laughing.

- But I'm curious what a ring is.

This game is a ”ring” of lapis lazuli, so you don't have to think about it as an important item. Even at weddings, a man gives a woman a ring.

I'm sure there's something serious about the ring that the fairy will first be taught by the king - Tiara Rose concludes in an exuberance alone.

”What kind of ring is that?

'Mmm, I don't know... even the King's important thing!

”Keith's...?

I did want to know what it was for, though it must be important. But the fairies didn't seem to hear more than that, and Tiara Rose gave up on crying and hearing more than that.

- I knew I'd have to look at the map and look for something suspicious.
