118 13. Festival of Fire and Water: Part I (1/2)

A magnificent fireworks are magically launched to mark the beginning of the Festival of Flames and Water.

Once a year in Sandrose, it is a festival held in the summer in the square of the palace. It is meant to thank and pray for the grace of the oasis if it were meant to be, but not this time.

Because there is an important role for the awakened salamander to give him the magic to sleep again.

If the salamander fails and does not gain magic, Sandrose will be transformed into the capital of death by the magic of a salamander who has left control.

The royals of all countries, including Tiara Rose, are invited to this festival where the salamander awakens. That's all there is to it.

Tiara Rose is faceless as she watches the stage of the festival set up. The reason for this is that my body hasn't been undone yet.

”You're a cute kid,” she greeted me from each side because I'm sitting next to Aquasteed.

”Tiara, it's over time.”

Aquasteed tells me I should leave the later response to Saravia.

But Tiara Rose can't accept that either. It can't be accepted that Saravia dies in her place.

No matter what I do, there's one conclusion I've come up with all the way to bed.

I can't be happy with myself, Saravia or Aquasteed as it is, so I mean compromise...

Of course I don't know if you can accept it, but when it does, I'll just have to persevere in pursuit. And I'm going to get some magic back, recover again, and then give it to Salamander.

- Master Salamander also cares about His Majesty Salavia, so if you sincerely discuss it, you will understand.

But if you come up with a little something for Aquasteed, I'll be ready to fight then, though.

”Tiara?”

Aquasteed has called again on Tiara Rose, who doesn't think about it and respond.

”Eh! Uh, right, no, you're not...”

”... maybe you're hiding something from me?

It's probably because it's gotten a lot going on, Aquasteed inquires with certainty. But I get in trouble about how to cut it out, and Tiara Rose lets her eyes swim.

But happy or unhappy, at this time began the dance of the Festival of Flames and Water.

First, the dance of the witches of the desert is performed, and when it is over, it is the dance of Saravia, the emperor. It is so precious that the emperor dances, and everyone is breathtaking and burning that figure in their eyes.

Tiara Rose and Aquasteed are also blinded by their beauty.

Much more fantastic than when you fought Aquasteed at a masquerade. I'm sure Salamander will be watching this dance too.

Staring silently at Saravia...... Tiara Rose slowly opens her mouth when she still can't keep her mouth shut to Aquasteed.

”... I really couldn't have the courage to put it in my mouth. But you can't just not tell Aqua.”

Tiara Rose's hand, which she had on her lap, trembled slightly.

Not an aquasteed to miss that. Put your own hand on Tiara Rose's hand and gently wrap it around. It's okay because I'm attached, like I tell you.

”... you must also know that Aqua needs magic in order for Salamander to sleep again”

”Oh.”

”For generations, the royal family of Sandrose has taken on that role and taken full responsibility. That's why this country is a romantic power.”

Tiara Rose keeps her eyes peeled away from Saravian dance and continues her words.

”For His Majesty Salavia to satisfy the magic of Salamander alone, His Majesty Salavia's magic is not enough. You can't let them fall asleep again without putting as much magic into their lives as you can.”

”It's...”

”Yes, if I had my magic returned to me by Lord Salamander and His Majesty Salavia had given me magic... I would probably run out of that life”

Aquasteed is breathtaking to see if the situation was that serious.

But at the same time, I found out why Tiara Rose was trying so hard to get it back on its own. It's too harsh for her to be kind to put people's lives and herself on the scale.

Aquasteed held Tiara Rose's shoulder and quietly told her, ”You've said it well,” she said.

”You let one Tiara carry the hard stuff.”

”No, I should have told Aqua sooner.”

”That's not true. As Tiara said, saying someone's death is very courageous.”

So naturally the feeling, Aquasteed smiles gently.

”... Keith, Dear Pearl”

”I'm here.”

”I don't have a choice...”

”The situation is just as I heard. Well, the two of you may already be familiar... but I'd like to talk to Master Salamander, will you look for me? You must be watching His Majesty's dance from somewhere.”

When Aquasteed said so, Keith and Pearl nodded and disappeared from the spot.

- When Master Aqua does it, he does everything without...
