111 6. Just one direct line (1/2)
”Oh, I want to see Master Aqua!
”Dear Tiara Rose, do not fall asleep in that appearance”
”Ah... right. Sorry, Philine.”
A voice of caution flew in from Filine as Tiara Rose dived back to her bedroom after the feast. The desert dress becomes wrinkled even though it washes.
Tiara Rose sits on the sleeping table and breathes.
”I know you want to see me, but I'm sure His Majesty Aquasteed is on his way here, too”
”Right.... I was surprised that Aqua would go with a horse instead of a carriage to shorten the itinerary.”
Although I desperately stopped because of course I don't want you to be so impotent.
”It's proof that you're loved, Dear Tiara Rose. Do you want to change?
”... because of this, maybe we should just stay like this for a bit longer. Although highly exposed, I've never had a desert dress before, so it's fresh.”
”I would also like to show His Majesty the Aquasteed.”
”... that could be a little embarrassing”
To Filine's words, Tiara Rose smiles bitterly as she illuminates.
If those golden eyes saw me seriously, what would happen? Definitely turning bright red with shame, Tiara Rose swells her cheeks.
There's nothing wrong with wearing it in public, such as a feast, but in front of someone I like, I really think of it that way.
Having seen Tiara Rose like that, Filine thinks she definitely needs to make an opportunity for Aquasteed she couldn't see. Don't tell Tiara Rose about that, of course.
”I'll check on the hot tub.”
”Yeah, please.”
Dropping Philine out of the room, Tiara Rose leaves for the balcony.
The room provided is on the third floor, and the view is great sometimes because of the full starry sky now. You can admire the gardens and streets of Sandrose's palace.
The air at night is a little chilly, but not enough to go back and get my jacket.
And then, I remember the words Saravia said earlier.
- Does Salamander exist?
I didn't think you'd tell me that much, so I accidentally laughed from Tiara Rose.
”I want to see you, but you can't let me get involved. We have to be patient.”
Saying so, relaxing and enjoying the night view, I saw blonde hair in a corner of my sight. Apparently, Saravia's in the garden.
Tiara Rose tilts her neck wondering what the hell she's doing at this hour.
As I followed Saravia with my gaze, I stepped to the waterfront. And keep walking down to the statue of the goddess set in the center.
The statue of the goddess is a bit of a different brown color, so it was probably made from desert ore. He wraps cloth around beautiful limbs and prays for the earth.
”... what are you doing?
Maybe drunk? Yeah. Even if Tiara Rose gets caught, there's no choice. Surely he must have been drinking quite a bit of wine.
”Maybe I should tell someone...... But Philine's taking it off.”
Uh-huh. Troubled, Saravia's hand touched the statue of the goddess.
Then, in light red, the statue of the goddess shines. Glow in the dark world It is so mysterious, as if it were a miracle brought about by a goddess.
”Huh?”
Tiara Rose blinks her eyes and looks seriously at Saravia and the statue of the goddess. He thought he was drunk was a total mistake.
Isn't that, yes - a ritual?
”Awaken Master Salamander...... no, something to make him sleep again?
Tiara Rose shook her head at her thoughts and denied that she would not need to be forced to wake up. Given the spirit of this festival, I thought you were doing something for Salamander.
- But even though we still have a few days until the festival.
”............ hmm?
When Tiara Rose was still asking about Saravia, her body fluttered and swayed.
”Your Majesty Saravia...... Huh!?”
And as it were, Saravia collapsed with a proper splash.
He seemed barely conscious and tried to get up... but he sat back in the water and relaxed. It doesn't look like a strange situation whenever you lose your mind.
”... Huh! No, not right away.”
As Tiara Rose rushes out of the room, Tarmo, who was escorting him in front of the door, gets a little.
I'm a little impotent, but I don't know what kind of a ladylike husband is panicking about from time to time. Tarmo first tried to open his mouth to ask what was going on, but immediately said, ”I'm in a hurry!” and wandered at Tiara Rose's temper, roughing her voice.
But that's why you can't let your husband act without asking why. I wish it was Marine Forest, but this is another country.
”But Dear Tiara Rose -”
”Fine, I'll follow you. You stay right here.”
”...... Huh!?”
Talmo tried to advance, but was immediately grabbed by the shoulder from behind.
”Oh, Master Keith!?”
”You don't know that my princess is an adult.”
Keith chuckles as he looks behind Tiara Rose, who rushes down the hallway. And slowly, I chased after her.
The light that comes from the palace, and the moonlight.
I wonder why you feel slightly brighter when there should only be those two. My skin is cold as ice because of the clothes that got soaked up with water.
Saravia fell asleep to the water as she sat down and became a billionaire. Fortunately, it is shallow made, and it will not drown.
”... go, Your Majesty!
”Oh... Rose”
I noticed a voice I heard from afar, and I think it should feel swollen and bright. Everywhere she is, it's warm and full of light.
”Sire Saravia, are you all right!?”
”I can't believe they saw me dressed badly...”
”What are you talking about! I'll be in my room in a minute!
If you're not kidding, Tiara Rose takes a sip of Saravia.
I may touch my cold skin and get frostbite even as it is. I thought I needed hot water ready right away, and I tried to speak to a servant or a side that would be around me...
”... why is there no one here when it's a palace”
”Because I paid for it? Then I guess I don't want people to call me because I can't be seen like this”
”Huh? But in this situation...”
It doesn't look like Saravia can walk, so I have to carry it to someone. But when you don't call people, you can't help but move.
- What should I do?
That's what Saravia was doing until she paid for it, so I guess it was pretty important. You can't call people in the presence of Tiara Rose because they seem sick after falling over it.
Because I might waste everything he was doing.
”I'll carry you. We're moving.”
”Keith!”
Sighing at him, he takes up Saravia, where Keith was falling.
”Have you forgotten all those unscrupulous things?
”This is not unscrupulous, it's natural!? Because if people fall in front of you, you have to go help them”
”Yes, sir.”
When Tiara Rose tells her it's natural, Keith just walks out. Saravia is groaning painfully, but I don't mind that.
”Already, Keith... But thanks.”
My mouth told me something I wish I hadn't helped, but this is how Keith came after me and took care of Saravia.
Hearing the words of thanks, Keith replies only one word ”oops” and raises his hand.
”Let's go. Sure looks like they're ready to take a bath, so you can throw it in there.”
