82 7. Ill sneak up on you......! (1/2)

Though I was determined to proceed with the event, to do so I must have the ring of the Empty Fairy King that Aquasteed holds.

Tiara Rose, who had finished bathing, was worried about how to get it while grinding on the bedside.

Exactly, ”Give me the ring!” It's not something you can lend me. ”It said something that if I told you why, you might lend it to me, but someone shouldn't know about it.

I mean, we have to keep Aquasteed from spreading it.

- I don't really want to hide anything.

”Tiara?”

”Ah, Master Aqua. Welcome back.”

”I'm home. I could have slept with you”

Aquasteed's workload has increased since the king lay low on his illness. The medical condition also still shows no signs of recovery, which makes me more worried every day.

It just doesn't seem like there's any way to get it fully healed. Although Tiara Rose didn't know how to do it, Aquasteed and Ferres looked grasping it.

”I was fine,” says Aquasteed, who looks like he stopped by his father's bedroom.

”Appetite seems to be the same, and I'm relieved about that”

”It's important to have something to eat.”

”It's just that my mother seems to be in better health care.”

Aquasteed crept onto the bedroom and fell asleep beside Tiara Rose. Keep your arms spinning to your hips and being held somewhere sweet.

The gesture is cat-like and cute, but all I'm talking about is worrying.

”Lady Lavina...... I'm worried, so I know how that feels. Can I prepare a delicious treat and invite you to a tea party? Maybe it annoys me...”

”No, invite Tiara if you want. If you can, it's better outside than indoors.”

”Okay.”

With all the pulling into the room, Lavina really is better off. Aquasteed says he wants me to be forced to take him, even if I tell him I don't like him in person.

”You can't force Her Highness to do just that,” he laughs bitterly.

”I'll have a tea party with you then. That way, we'll be forced to bring him in, won't we?

”If Aqua says so, fine...”

”Yeah. I'm looking forward to it”

”You have an extraordinarily delicious cake. Of course, something else.”

If you realize it, you will feel calm and Tiara Rose will feel calm. Aquasteed is harder than he is because his father is sick. Thinking about it, I felt like something I had grabbed on my chest had fallen off.

Tiara Rose continues her words as she gently strokes Aquasteed's hair.

”I hope it gets better soon. Looks like Lilia had it before... and I'm sure it'll heal, won't it?

”... right. I'll fix it.”

”Master Aqua.”

Listen to Aquasteed and accidentally correct your posture. Sitting on the sleeping table, Aquasteed rolls down on his back with his head on Tiara Rose's lap. Knee pillow.

Aquasteed, who closed his eyes slowly, seemed to be thinking of something. No, that could have been close to determination.

The next time I pointed those eyes at Tiara Rose, there was no stray.

”I want to be king of the starry sky.”

――

To a sudden confession, breathtaking.

A moment of silence flows through the properly quiet indoors, but it is again driven by a clear Tiara Rose breath.

”Tiara might have a hard time -”

”That's okay, that's okay.”

”... tiara?

Blocking Aquasteed's words, Tiara Rose roughs up her voice.

”More, involve me. Dear Aqua, it is not enough to be protected by Aqua. I want to walk next door.”

Breathe on your shoulders and tell Aquasteed what you thought. There were twitching tears in my eyes, and I was so glad that they told me of their determination.

Tears overflow and tears that convey Tiara Rose's cheeks fall on Aquasteed's cheeks. Squeeze it at your fingertips, Aquasteed licks it with pepper.

!!

”Soggy.”

”Oh, of course! What are you doing, Dear Aqua!!”

Hurry and rub your eyes with your hands and wipe your tears.

”Here, if you do that, it'll turn red”

No, Aquasteed gently untied Tiara Rose's hand. Tears pull in as they are gently mouthed by the eyes that are crying.

I get wiped with the cuffs of Aquasteed's nightwear and on the contrary I'm sorry. But I don't even have just the right handkerchief or anything......

Tiara Rose tries to change the subject so as to hide her embarrassment.

- Confectionery, no, no, uh, yeah... yeah!

”Dear Aqua, show me the ring!

”Give me the ring?

Aquasteed chuckles at the sudden, overly topical shift.
