155 5. Ask for clues (1/2)

On the way, I stayed a little in the Kingdom of Rapislazuli and came to the Kingdom of Philadelphia. The time is in the evening, and the orange sky is beautiful.

When you cross the border of Lapis Lazuli into Philadelphia, a refreshing breeze blows through. Certainly, Tiararose thinks there is a Spirit Silf of the Wind.

Philadelphia has a mild climate and can see many water wheels. The fields are spread out, and I can ask about the level of self-sufficiency.

Philadelphia's imperial castle was a lovely brick castle with a large windmill.

As soon as the Tiararoses arrived, they were welcomed. It was the princess Emerald who greeted me.

”Welcome, Your Majesty Aquastead. And Master Tiararose, it's a great pleasure to see you again.”

”Thank you for the welcome despite your sudden visit.”

”I was looking forward to seeing Emerald.”

To Emerald, Aquastead and Tiararose return the greeting. And apologize for the sudden visit.

But Emerald smiled, ”Never mind.”

Emerald Philarcia, Princess of the Kingdom of Philadelphia.

Lightly pigmented golden hair has a loose wave and is as long as the waist. Easy, yellow-green eyes. Her warmth can be seen in her face.

A dress with several folds of cloth is reminiscent of an ethnic costume, with a jeweled circular on the forehead in the middle.

”I'm glad I could talk to Mr. Tiararose a lot. And you guys are starting out.”

”Yes, I'm with you this time.”

When Aquastead says so, Elliot and Talmo step forward.

”I see you for the first time, Emerald. Elliot Coralsia, close to His Majesty Aquastead. Please make sure you know him.”

This is Tarmo, Lord Tiararose's Guard Knight.

”Thank you both very much.”

Next, Tiararose looks at Keith to introduce him.

--Should I keep quiet about being the Fairy King of the Forest?

When I was worried about what Tiararose should do, Keith opened his mouth first.

”I am Keith, Fairy King of the Forest. I have blessed Tiara and Aqua, so I accompany them.”

─!

In Keith's words, Emerald opened his eyes wide. And immediately, I broke my hips deeply.

”I didn't know you were a fairy king, so I'm sorry. I am Emerald Philarcia. Please take your time during your stay.”

”Oh, thanks.”

At the end of the greeting, the maid guided me to each room.

The indoor windows let in a pleasant breeze that tickles the long hair of Tiararose. Breathing heavily and deeply, Tiararose sat on the sofa.

”Hmm... You're finally in Philadelphia.”

”Are you tired? After that, we'll have dinner with His Majesty the King, so you should rest a little.”

”No, I'm fine!

I want to find a clue to Lucia Rose right away, so I can't wait to get some rest. Aquastead smiles bitterly at the sight of such a tear rose.

”I know how you feel....”

Aquastead holds the prepared fruit water and sits next to the tear rose.

”Almost there, His Majesty the King will have a welcome dinner party. It's important to take a break now so we can talk about it properly. After that, I think I can move freely, so let's find a clue to the Spirit.”

”... yes”

Tiararose nods as she strokes her head in the gentle hands of Aquastead.

Then I closed my eyes thinking that I would be able to get some information about Silf. Then, my drowsiness came.

”Ah....”

Yeah?

”... no. I was surprised when my drowsiness hit me at once.”

”Of course I was flying that horse.”

Not surprisingly, Aquastead smiles.

”I'll lend you my knees until dinner time.”

”Well then, Aqua can't sleep....”

”I'm used to horses, so it's okay. It's better to touch Tiara like this.”

That's why Aquastead pulled Tiararose to his knees.

”Warm”

”Looking to rest?

”... yes. I'm going to be really well.”

Tiararose closes once again with a giggle at Aquastead's query. Then I fell asleep immediately.

After about an hour, it became a welcome dinner party.

Philline hasn't arrived yet, so I asked the maid of the royal castle to help me prepare.

Wear lace blue dresses and marine forest coral ornaments. The hairstyle is up-style and has a different vibe.

”Welcome to Philadelphia. Your Majesty Aquastead, Lord Tiararose. It's good to see you.”

”It was a sudden visit, but thank you for setting up a seat like this.”

”Thank you very much. I'm so glad to see you.”

King Edmond Philarcia picked me up at dinner.
