50 5. The Royal Mission (1/2)
It gets deeper at night and Aquasteed is the only one in the office. I will look through a large number of documents and put them separately between what I will proceed with as soon as possible and what I can later turn.
I would have had an escort in front of the door, but I'm already letting him back down. Aquasteed is strong, so if you're in the royal castle, you definitely need an escort…
”Why don't you get some rest, Dear Aquasteed”
”... Elliot”
”Isn't that a good job after tomorrow?”
Nothing. Don't you need to hurry now? And Elliot, with his face in the office, tells him.
”I'm already around twenty-four, do you realize that?
”That's about it, I know”
”I don't know. Dear Tiara Rose, aren't you worried?
Normally, however late, Aquasteed returns before the date changes to the room where Tiara Rose is waiting. Knowing that, Elliot came to see Aquasteed in suspicion.
Brew tea and place it in front of your own husband looking at the paperwork. My body was cold and I knew right away that fatigue was showing up on my face.
Take a sip and say, ”I know,” again.
Aquasteed stretched out a long time and looked at Elliot as he leaned against the back of the chair.
”What?
”... Elliot, too, did you see that?
”Saw what? Oh, you mean Tiara Rose.”
Outstanding proximity immediately understands what Aquasteed is trying to say.
During her date with Tiara Rose, Aquasteed thought she was badly impudent for not being able to do anything.
They're both amazing from Elliot's point of view, but as a man, Aquasteed has no choice because he wants to protect Tiara Rose.
Blessed by Pearl, the Fairy King of the Sea, Tiara Rose had the blessing of a wall of water that prevented everything.
This is a conservative blessing of the sea, enveloping Tiara Rose herself with the magical power of a thin sea. It also absorbs physical shocks and so on, thus treasuring it.
Aquasteed received the blessing of attack specialization. They go very well together because they are paired, but I also wanted the power to protect Tiara Rose...... and I think.
”Don't get stronger and stronger sometime, even though I was protecting you”
”... do you miss me? Dear Aquasteed,”
”Lonely, huh? I think it's a little different.”
Put the last paperwork on your desk and take a breath ”That's it”.
”Everyone would think Tiara Rose deserved to stand next to me”
”Yeah. Now, you think. At the time of blessing by the Fairy King of the Woods, there is no way the Queen deserves it”
”... if it's true, I've always wanted to keep you locked up”
To Aquasteed's words, Elliot laughs quietly.
”Dear Tiara Rose, that you are not just a woman who can be surrounded by nothing... aren't you most familiar with Master Aquasteed”
”I know that too.”
- I want to be stronger.
I want to be strong so I don't fade when I stand next to Tiara Rose. Aquasteed strongly thought so.
I was proud of Tiara Rose for helping the people, but even that I wanted to protect every Tiara Rose. It's only a chunk of monopoly greed, but that's what I thought, so I can't help it.
”In the meantime, Master Aquasteed better get back to his room as soon as possible”
”Elliot?”
”Philine said Tiara Rose wasn't asleep yet, was she?
”... say that quickly”
I told him I could stay asleep first, but no - because of Tiara Rose's character, he was more likely to be awake.
Aquasteed immediately jumped out of the office and went back to his room.
”Ahhh. I wish I was at Master Tiara Rose's rather than thinking alone. Master Aquasteed is really cool.”
While cleaning out the dried teacup, Elliot ”is the baking master of care” all alone.
”In the first place, if Master Aquasteed were so strong and worried about being weak... wouldn't I be less than a bug”
I didn't say exactly how strong you were going to be.
I only knew clearly that the future of this country was cheap.

Even if you want to sleep more - morning comes equal.
From inside the bed, Tiara Rose stares at Aquasteed, who dresses in a blur.
It's nice to have been waiting for my late returning husband, but it was just a little hard to wake up as usual. Aquasteed is also supposed to be sleepless, but that look remains the same as usual.
- Master Aqua, aren't you tired?
I just wanted to sleep so little myself.
”Yes, Tiara”
”Yes?”
Makes a sinister look at Tiara Rose as she yawns but gets out of bed, ”It's night......”
”What's wrong?
Tie Aquasteed's tie, while tilting his neck. I'm worried that maybe I'll be home late today.
Reach out and gently stroke Aquasteed's hair and tell him, ”Don't push me too hard,” he said.
”Thank you, Tiara. Actually, your father told me to have dinner with you. Anything, he wants to talk to me.”
”Were you...”
