59 14. Aquasteeds Ring (1/2)

Large country marine forest.

The basement of the royal castle has become a mighty labyrinth - ”sealed and between kings.

Dim passages smell a little damp.

The walls lined with inorganic gray bricks bring only a tiny bit of light. Magic or something, but no one cares about it.

Because everyone was, in this place, overwhelmed by the air.

”I didn't know there was such a space in the basement of the castle...”

Aquasteed takes a small breath when he sees the passage that spreads in front of him.

Unlike the usual outfit, look ahead to wrapping that around your knight's clothes. No matter what, they were dressed in moveable clothes.

View a view of the Royal Castle as Elliot holds the lamp in his hand.

underground passage, which would undoubtedly have been from the time it was designed, but there are no traces of it like that anywhere.

”... because it's a country with a long history. At the time of the founding of the country, very little material was available. Exactly, it's a problem that nobody knows about the basement of the Royal Castle.”

”There's nothing humans can do.”

Aquasteed thought that the fairies and their king must have been at the centre and managed.

A cheerful voice echoes down the road, completely different from an aquasteed of such seriousness.

”That's fine now, so let's go!

”Dear Acari, if they run suddenly, it's dangerous!

”Fine. Dear Tiara, you're worried.”

Clams in half pants that tie their hair and seem to emphasize ease of movement make them smile. It says on its face that I can't help but look forward to the underground passage of the royal castle.

”There shouldn't be that much (...) danger, so it's okay”

”Until Dear Olivia...”

But that would mean there would be some danger...... Tiara Rose sighs. I just hope that no one gets hurt, that it can be sealed and go between kings.

I can't help but worry mainly about Acari and Olivia.

”... well, shall we go”

With a bitter smile, Elliot takes the lead.

Tiara Rose to Acari and Olivia right behind it. Behind it, Aquasteed and Claire.

A less combative woman is caught between them.

After a short walk, the aisle was divided into two strands.

Now, whatever I do, it bothers my head - not long after, the voices of Acari and Olivia overlapped.

”Right!”

”... is that the power of the holy prayer of Lord Akali?

Elliot looks at the acari with surprise, wondering how he knows the way.

Unexpectedly he said, ”Ah,” but Akali nodded to Elliot's words as if nothing had happened. Tiara Rose laughs bitterly at how convenient it is with the power of holy prayer.

At the same time, I thought I was very jealous of the two of them playing the fairy king's hidden stage in their previous lives.

◇ ◇ ◇

Would you have walked for about an hour?

At the end of the long passage, I saw the light. On either side of the luxurious door, a flower-inspired lamp is placed to illuminate the area. The doors are sculpted so that the fairies protect something.

”There really was...”

Elliot, who was half-hearted, opens his mouth pompously on the way there. And soon, I'll take notes on the notebook I was bringing.

- Guys, I'm on it.

I do care because it's the event stage of the game, but I wonder if Tiara Rose didn't have to come this suddenly......

It involved aquasteeds and crails and took care of them. I feel sorry for losing my memory and causing so much trouble.

”Come on, let's go, Dear Tiara! I'm sure it'll bring back memories here.”

”Huh...?

I take Tiara Rose's hand for a long time, and Akali puts her hand on the door.

Behind the door, which had been opened, only one altar had been set up in the centre of the room. The circular interior is muraled and depicts humans and fairies living happily ever after.

Between the sealed and king, who briefly invited the Tiara Roses.

”... who?

”Huh?”

Aquasteed, who was behind Tiara Rose, staring at the pedestal, raises his voice in large measure. That gaze is poured on the central pedestal, but I don't feel any signs of people being there.

Acari and Olivia breathed as they wondered what Tiara Rose meant.

- Oh, I see. Is it the story of the game?

I don't know because Claire doesn't change her expression, but I guess she doesn't even look like a confused Elliot. And you don't even look like two secretly tense women.

”Dear Akali, what is this...”

”Shit, Dear Tiara!

…………

Acari's attention brings silence to the hall.

Thinking just fine in a way, Aquasteed thinks about the ring to revive Tiara Rose's memory.

No.

- Here, I can create a ring.

I don't know why you thought that, but that's what Aquasteed's instinct understood.

'... how many years... it's been thousands of years since we've had customers here'

”You are...”

”Welcome, my descendants”

A man grinned and smiled, blocking Aquasteed's words as he tried to ask.

He ties the same dark blue hair as Aquasteed into one and flushes it forward. The white based outfit made me feel some age, with a long cloak spread out on the floor.

As if in contrast to myself, I see an unreadable smile of thought.

”Some generations ago, do you mean King of Marine Forest...”

”First generation, to be exact.”

”Ferres Marine Forest”

As soon as Aquasteed calls his name, he is returned 'Well Done'.

I will not forget the name of the first king.

”Long time no see, too, Claire.”

”Oh, Fell looks as good as ever.”

……

I thought you looked familiar, but soon Aquasteed reconsiders whether it was obvious or not. Unlike humans, fairy kings who live a long time. Even if he lived before the founding of Marine Forest, no wonder.

Claire, nicknamed Fell, looks happy somewhere.

- When that happens, will it be a pretty close pattern?
