207 12. Knight Form

Aquastide's office in the Royal Castle was finally finished. When I look out the window, it's like a little before the sunset.

It was later than I expected, so I rushed to Keith's Castle, but Levi came before that. I have a basket with ingredients in my hand.

"I would like to make dinner today at the Fairy King's Castle in the Forest." If your Majesty's preparation is not a problem, I do not want to be with you. "

"Have dinner? Okay. Allow me to accompany you."

Well then, let's get ready in a hurry.

As soon as Aquastide gave Levi his permission, Elliot got ready. She collects the documents and puts them on the shelf - she notices Levi's piercing gaze.

Um, what is it?

"... no. It's about time? And that's what I thought personally."

"It's about time..."

Elliot's cheeks were pulled by Levi's somewhat overwhelming words. Inwardly, how did you know!? You're in such a hurry.

Aquastide shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the two strangling each other.

"Don't stare at me like that, Levi, because it's working properly."

“That's the best part. I'm sorry about the exit."

Levi lowered his head, thinking that Olivia was with him all the time...... Aquastide and Elliot.

Ho ho, the princess wants to be a knight!

"That's right! Isn't it very handsome?" I will protect your mother and father. Luca and Rio too! "

Even though you're still young, you're still in the mood.

Tiara Rose is lounging next to Shtilka, Shtilio, and Keith over a cup of tea, while Lucia Rose talks to Grimoire.

I seemed to like the place floating in the air very much, and until a while ago, I looked at Grimoire enviously saying, "I want to float too."

What kind of knight do you want to be?

What kind?

Asked by Grimoire, Lucia Rose tilts her head. I just wanted to be a knight, so I don't know what to ask.

"Hmmm..."

I don't know much about knights. Most of the time, you become a knight in order to get a living salary, but the princess doesn't want a reward, does she? "

Lucia Rose herself is not very familiar, but she has a good budget from the state. I use it to prepare my living space. The management itself is carried out by Tiara Rose because she is still young.

Grimoire tells the story of the Knight to Lucia Rose, who I don't understand.

< When it comes to knights, the most important thing is to pledge allegiance to someone. We need a conviction that we will absolutely protect that person. There are others who want to protect their country from the enemy... Because the princess is royal, I think she is also suitable as a knight to protect the country. "

"What country?"

Yes, the country includes families who love princesses.

"And my family..."

Hearing Grimoire's words, Lucia Rose blinked her eyes several times and nodded. Apparently, what kind of knight do you want to be? That's why I seem to be thinking about becoming a Lucia Rose.

Lucia Rose thought to herself, "I want to be a knight who can protect everyone."

Tiara Rose, Aquastide, Shtilka, Shtilio. Lucia Rose's favorite family.

Of course, my grandparents are important, so I want to protect Lucia Rose. I also like Philine, Elliot, and the Kristore brothers and sisters. And so did the Talmos, who would protect Lucia Rose when she was in danger. And the acorns that come to visit me once in a while. The same goes for the cooks at the Imperial Castle who make delicious rice, and the maids who play with Lucia Rose.

When I counted, I didn't have enough fingers on my hands. It is not enough to use the toes.

Lucia Rose pointed her mouth and said, "I want to protect everyone!" to Grimoire.

If so, why don't you become a knight fighting evil?

Aku?

You don't have to have a master, you can protect your pride and your loved ones.

"A loved one..."

Hearing Grimoire's words, Lucia Rose nodded loudly. You become a knight and defeat the bad guys to protect your country and your loved ones.

I will fight evil!

That's the spirit, princess!

Looking at Lucia Rose clenching her fist and the grimoire supporting it, Aquastide leaned his head to see what he was talking about.

Just now, the three of them, Aquastide, Elliot, and Levi, had arrived.

Aqua, good work.

"Thank you, Tiara.... what are you doing with Lucia?"

It looks like you're talking about what kind of knight you want to be.

Lucia Rose and Grimoire are getting along.

I see.

Aquastide thought that Grimoire was a calm, pale personality, but it seemed to have an unexpectedly hot side.

Grimoire, a history book, knows how many knights live. Thinking of it that way, Aquastide decides it's a good thing to talk a lot.

You're finally here.

“Oh, thanks for playing with the kids, Keith.”

"It's nothing like this."

Keith laughs whenever he plays.

Aquastide sat next to the Tiara Rose, laughing, “I appreciate that,” and decided to keep an eye on her.

Looking at Milord sitting next to him, Tiara Rose hurriedly prepared tea. You've been working so far, and you've rushed to join us. I want you to take your time now.

"Flower tea, please."

"Thank you."

But Shtilka and Shtilio on Keith's lap jumped onto Aquastide, so they might not be able to slow down.

I know you're tired, but Aquastide strokes me like that without showing any dust.

"Were you playing with a good boy?"

Yeah! Next time, I'm going to the forest with the fairy!

"I promised you."

Shtilka and Shtilio tell Aquastide what they were doing and plan to go play happily.

At this momentum, I think we should go tomorrow.

After a while, Levi said, “I'm sorry, but...” and put his face in the library.

I wonder if something's wrong.

"I was supposed to be carrying ingredients and cooking dinner... but I think I might need some help."

"It's really hard to eat this many people alone..."

Tiara Rose stood up and said she could help if she could, but Levi didn't ask for help.

"I can use the oven, but the stove doesn't light up." It doesn't seem to be working properly. ”

Oh, by the way, I made a stove once in a while, but I didn't bother to start a fire.

Keith laughed in his shoes, “I didn't expect to use it.”

It seems that only the oven used by Tiara Rose to make sweets worked properly.

"Do you need a fire to make rice?" Then leave it to me! "

Lucia?

Grimoire and Knight Lucia Rose were confident. Next to it was a floating grimoire.

--That's true, Lucia is good at fire attributes...

I haven't practiced much magic yet.

I could move the stuffed animal with Lucia Rose's exceptional taste, but when I was asked if I could start a fire... I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it.

When Tiara Rose saw Aquastide, she seemed to be thinking the same thing. The two of them nodded and tried to go under Lucia Rose. "Look!” He raised his arm.

Grimoire, a page of fire for Levi to use!

"--Oh!?"

Lucia Rose's words made Tiara Rose breathe.

Grimoire responded to the words of Lucia Rose, and the closed page flipped over and stopped at a certain page. It can be seen that the letters are glowing red and the attributes of the fire are strong.

"Lucia, stop!"

"Grimoire, don't do anything of your own!!"

Aquastide and Keith's voice overlapped, but it was a little slow.

"Fulfill my wish, Fire!"

Lucia Rose spoke loudly, and Grimoire burst into flames. The momentum is so strong that it reaches the ceiling.

But the most surprising thing was Lucia Rose.

Haaaaa

She was surprised and crouched down to cover herself. But as it is, I got caught in the flame and got injured.

Tiara Rose rushes under Lucia Rose in a hurry and asks Aquastide, “No!" and the body stops. Instead, Aquastide ran under Lucia Rose.

Aquastide gently wipes off the burnt-out ceiling with his hands and gently hugs Lucia Rose, saying, "It's okay."

"Oh, oh, my dear...!" Wow, ahnn

"You were scared, Lucia." It's okay, it's okay now. Father and mother are all here. "

"... yes"

Lucia Rose clutched herself to Aquastide as she grunted and cried.

"Oh, you're such a bridesmaid..."

Seeing Aquastide lift the Lucia Rose, Keith bursts into his head. Looks like Lucia Rose is safe.

"Keith, Lucia..."

"No problem. Grimoire used magic, but Lucia's magic was also used together." You can't hurt yourself with your own magic unless it's too much. "

"I see... I'm glad Lucia's safe..."

Hearing Keith's words, Tiara Rose relieved herself. My body relaxed in peace, and I sat down on the spot.

It looked like we were done safely.

"Ugh, the princess has too much magic power to stop the fire...!"

"--Oh! Gurim...!"

Listening to Grimoire's screaming voice, Lucia Rose, who was hugged by Aquastide, was throbbing.

Lucia Rose receives power from the Fire Spirit Salamander, so her fire attributes are much higher. Lucia Rose had more magic power than Grimoire thought, and she couldn't control it.

"Lucia, Lucia...! I'll help you now!"

As soon as Tiara Rose was about to run under Lucia Rose, Keith pulled her arm.

”-Lucia Rose, may the Fairy King of the Forest bless you”
