9 9. Engagement with Aquasteed

The night Tiara Rose and Aquasteed went out on a date......

In a softly restless manner, Tiara Rose awaited the return of her father, the Marquis of Clementil.

Of course, to get you engaged to Aquasteed. There are plenty of anxiety elements such as a heroine acari and Halt Knights, who was my fiancée.

So if you say you're not anxious, you're lying. But Tiara Rose wanted to believe Aquasteed's words.

"Dear Tiara Rose, Was today's date that much fun?

"Philine! 'Cause it was the first time I'd ever been out like that with a guy"

Phylline teases Tiara Rose, who puts her hands on her mouth all the time and blushes in embarrassment.

There's no way I can say that Aquasteed "ahem" the cookies I took, and Tiara Rose flies in her heart to tell her father to come home early.

- Does that mean you're wearing that hair decoration, can I have a little expectation?

During the farewell greeting, the voice whispered by Aquasteed can't get out of my ear. The sweet, low voice made Aquasteed aware to remain at the core of Tiara Rose.

The hair decorations used by Tiara Rose are a specialty of Aquasteed's country. It was Philine, the samurai, who prepared it, but this is how she sends her own ale.

It was a samurai's concern that I would be glad to have both thoughts soon.

"So, how was it actually?

"Huh?"

"Dear Tiara Rose, I wonder if they've spoken enough..."

"Hey, come on! I didn't do that!!"

And listen to what Filine has always cared about, but Tiara Rose turns bright red and denies it. Even if they just fed me cookies, I had a hard time with my heart.

Tiara Rose waves her face, saying that it is very impossible to do that.

"Well, too bad. But His Royal Highness Aquasteed takes great care of Master Tiara Rose, doesn't he? I'm relieved."

"Filine...... Well, Aqua is so sweet, and she cares so much about me."

I could even be certain somewhere that Tiara Rose would never do anything she didn't like.

Aquasteed's eyes always stared about Tiara Rose herself. That wasn't like worrying about identity or anything, it was kind.

Feeling so relieved by the way he looked, Filine nodded and convinced one person, "Ah".

"Filine?"

"Somehow more than usual, because Master Tiara Rose is softening up. I thought it was still the end of the date - engagement, right?

"...... Huh!!"

Tiara Rose's shoulders shake with prickliness to the word engagement.

Exactly the most correct answer, answered with my body. I've been a Tiara Rose maid for a long time. For Philinee, this is the immediate prospect.

Shy, but seeing Tiara Rose nodding small, Filine smiles happily. I saw my husband hurt by Halt Knights, but he seemed to be happy, and I was happier than that.

"Then you will wait as you twitch your husband's return"

"Oh, already! You noticed."

"Yes.... well, looks like your husband is home"

I peered gently out the window and saw the carriage. The carriage containing the family crest of the Marquis and the Lapis is undoubtedly ridden by the Marquis of Kramentile.

Sometimes, but soon, Tiara Rose picks up her father to the front door.

Classy, but early enough. Hurry down the long corridor and gracefully descend the stairs.

At the point of getting off, the front door opens and I can see the face of the Marquis Clamenteal. Finally returning, Tiara Rose hurried to say, "Father!" Raise your voice.

"I'm home, Tiara. What's the matter, don't be so shy?"

"Ha, ha, don't say that!

Tiara Rose stands sober, as if she was in a hurry.

But a lie like that doesn't make sense to his father, the Marquis Clamentile. On her cheek, which is slightly red, she sees her daughter twitching somewhere, and she doesn't have a father or anything she doesn't know.

… and. Marquis Clamenteal, who must not drown his daughter, thinks.

And sometimes today was my date with Aquasteed, and I also guess what my daughter wants to say.

I sincerely think it's something I miss, but I'm really very happy.

"I know. You must be talking about His Royal Highness Aquasteed.

"Father......!

"As much as I know about my daughter, I know.... Take it, okay?

"... Yes. Please, Father."

Tiara Rose lays down her face as she lights up, but smiles happily.

I miss my daughter being married to another country, but I'm more than happy to laugh at her. That's what I thought, and the Marquis Clamentir nodded.

◇ ◇ ◇

"I did irrevocably..."

When I was up late at night, it was Halt Nights who was spending sleepless nights in my bedroom. My punishment is also well heard by my father, Alexander the King.

I also want Tiara Rose to be happy, of course.

Though...

"... tiara"

What leaks from the pounding and haltnights mouth is the name of Tiara Rose, not the acari.

Of all the turns around, I try to sleep somehow, but all I see in my closed eyes is Tiara Rose's face. Halt Knights shakes his face to shake it off, but nothing will come of it.

- You're supposed to like the acari thing, but I can't get Tiara's face out of my head.

".................. tiara"

Again, call her by her name.

Then he closes his eyes all the time and thinks of Tiara Rose's face. Haltnights recalls that there were times when we met, but nothing like her fiancée.

At best, would it have been about an escort at a night club?

- I had to see more about Tiara.

It's too late for Halt Knights to regret it now, but still, it boils down to wanting to get angry.

Think about Tiara Rose and Aquasteed, worried about her again. Not at all, I can't get it out of my head.

That's when the con-con and knock sounds.

When I say it's time to sleep, I reply even though I wonder what the hell it is.

A knight is waiting in front of the room. That's why they put it through, so it must be urgent.

And Haltnights thought, it was the usual woman who put her face on.

"Good morning. Your Highness, Haltnights, may I assist you in the morning."

"Hey, morning...... Huh!?"

Halt Knights looks out the window stunned by the words he is told as usual. It was a glorious beautiful day and the morning sun was very eye-catching.

I can't believe the night was dawning in my head.

"What's wrong?

"... no, please"

Tell the lady officer who makes her wonder that she has no problem, Haltnights begins her schedule today.

◇ ◇ ◇

In a leisurely morning time, Tiara Rose climbed the castle with her samurai Filine.

The reason is to meet Aquasteed, who is staying at the castle.

Dye your cheeks a little and wrap yourself in a light water coloured dress. Filine coordinated Aquasteed's hair because it was blue.

"But could it have been okay to suddenly come..."

"It's okay. My husband tells me."

This will be my first visit since I informed her of my engagement.

It was sudden, but in the morning, I told the Marquis of Clementil to climb the castle. If Aquasteed seemed busy, I was thinking of leaving without seeing him.

"If you can't, there will be a user soon. The lack of it means there's no problem."

"... right? But you're so nervous."

Tiara Rose was taken to the reception room dedicated to Aquasteed in the castle. A woman was currently in the process of making a confirmation to Aquasteed.

I don't know if I can see you. This situation makes Tiara Rose's chest squeal.

After about 10 minutes of waiting, a young man named Aquasteed's squire arrived.

In a polite courtesy, Tiara Rose also returns the lady's gratitude.

"Master Aquasteed will be here soon. We have a location available, may I ask you to move?

"Yes."

First thing in the morning, Aquasteed knew Tiara Rose was going to climb the castle and was ready to entertain herself.

A delicious treat and tea are prepared in the Rose Garden, which Tiara Rose would prefer.

"I am near Master Aquasteed. If you need anything, tell me what it is."

"Thank you. I'm sorry I said I couldn't do it today."

"No, don't be apologetic or anything. Mr. Aquasteed was very pleased."

That being said, Elliot smiled, near Aquasteed's side.

Aquasteed, who came to this country as an international student, is the only one who brings his proximity. The other women were taken care of by King Alexander so that Aquasteed could live without inconvenience.

If Tiara Rose were to marry Aquasteed like this, she would have many opportunities to talk to Elliot. At ease with him, who seems to be a good man, Tiara Rose follows Elliot in walking.

"Lapis Lazuli is a very good country. And the ornaments are so beautiful."

Elliot talks to Tiara Rose as she walks down the hallway. Don't be nervous, it's his concern.

Plus Tiara Rose smiles and says something to her mouth about Marine Forest, Aquasteed's homeland.

"A good craftsman is working hard for me. Conversely, in Marine Forest, women admire many marine gems, such as natural corals and pearls."

"Thank you. Aquasteed will be delighted."

A little air flows, and a voice echoes down the hallway calling Tiara Rose where both Tiara Rose and Elliot have the perception that they are good people.

That was from behind, if the three of them turned around at the same time - Halt Knights stood.

"... Your Highness Haltnights!

"Tiara, why are you here...?

It was Filine who responded most to Haltnights' face, as if she were dreaming.

Step forward in such a way as to shelter your husband. Tiara Rose was bewildered when Philine took refuge in her, but she didn't pay attention because it was also true that she was pushed to break her engagement.

Elliot, a squire of Aquasteed, took the prince, Haltnights, to give a bow of grace and refrain behind him.

"... no. You've come to see Prince Aquasteed."

"Yes..."

Halt Knights turns his gaze to Elliot and forces himself to convince himself that it will be. I held my fist a long time and distorted my face.

It didn't take long for Tiara Rose and Filine to realize that something was wrong, apparently.

Seeing Halt Knights say something, Filine moves just a little and stands next to Tiara Rose. But I never tried to leave.

I can't wait for something to happen again. Even if I did something against Haltnites' will, and that was an act of disrespect, I couldn't give it up.

You know that or not, Halt Knights says nothing.

"Tiara"

"Yes."

"At the graduation party, I'm sorry......!

!!

Bullshit, I looked at Halt Knights, who bowed his head in momentum, and I opened my eyes to Tiara Rose, Philine, and even Elliot.

Who would have guessed, for example, that this would be such a development? The three of us who have solidified into that behavior, but it was Tiara Rose who made the exact move.

"Your Highness Haltnights, please raise your face! I don't care..."

"... tiara"

"The royal family must not bow their heads easily."

"... Tiara always had a lot of attention."

Halt Knights stares at Tiara Rose with her eyes narrowed to nostalgia. Seeing that, reassured Tiara Rose also smiled.

- Good. My lord Haltnights, I could think for myself. Well, I think it's because His Majesty snugly squeezed me...

While Tiara Rose grinned inside, she was honestly pleased that her favorite character in her previous life held on.

So I guess I was off guard. I didn't realize Haltnites' hand was stretched out to stroke Tiara Rose's head.

Haltnights, as if to see his beloved princess, softly tried to touch Tiara Rose. Philine notices, but couldn't react right away because she wasn't expecting anything other than an attack.

- Tiara.

"...... Huh!!"

Unlike usual, Haltonites voice with a little sweetness.

Tiara Rose shakes her body in awe of sudden action, but shelters her head with her hands as a sign of intent not to.

So much, I wondered if there was anything disgusting about the emotions directed at me... my body trembled.

But I don't know what to do, and all I can do is say "please stop". I close my eyes with disgust - but nothing touched my head.

…………

I thought I could stroke you.

I thought so and opened my fearful eyes, and a low, cold voice entered Tiara Rose's ear.

"Hey, Prince Haltnites. - To my precious fiancée, what are you trying to do?

Paying Halt Knights' hand, Aquasteed pulled Tiara Rose's hips toward her chest.

Those eyes are telling me not to give it to Halt Knights.

"... Huh! Oh, Master Aqua!

"Are you okay? Sorry I'm late, Tiara"

Hugging her cuddle, Aquasteed gently mouthed Tiara Rose's forehead. "I picked you up," he said, smiling with a face like he'd never shown anyone before.
