10 10. Creating a Basement to Happiness

Aquasteed came to the Kingdom of Lapis Lazuli to study abroad about a year ago.

In fact, I had been crossing countries for several years in the name of for language. Finally, he studied for a year at the Royal Lapis Lazuli School.

But the class wasn't very meaningful to Aquasteed, who had learned a lot from day to day. Then at least I read a book in the library that I don't have in my own country...... I had such a day.

In a quiet library, only the turning sound of the book can be heard.

"... hmm?

Aquasteed's fixed position is in the back seat of the library - at the window.

Looking out, I got a fluffy honey pink hair in my sight. That's for sure, I immediately recall that she's a lady from the Marquis Clamentile family who gave her Lapis.

Apparently, I find myself making tea in the shade of a tree, and as is often the case, I'm not that conscious.

- A few days later, until.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Are you coming again?"

"Sounds like it."

It is Elliot the squire who replies to Aquasteed's whining.

Aquasteed that turns the book as usual with the constant position. And what I saw out the window was still Tiara Rose with her honey pink fluffy hair.

It's unusual for a lady to read a book here. That's what I thought, and I accidentally made an observation.

There is only one Tiara Rose herself and one samurai.

He laid a rug in the shade of a tree, enjoying tea and sweets while reading.

…………

Especially Aquasteed, who didn't care that much, but she was starting to get into view reading almost every day.

Sometimes I was reading it seriously, and sometimes I was reading it like it was illuminated. It goes without saying how long I've been following that figure with my eyes.

"Dear Aquasteed,"

"Don't think stupid. She's Prince Haltnites' fiancée."

"I know that..."

Eliot, the squire, thinks he's teething at Aquasteed, who's always just watching Tiara Rose.

Elliot, who usually only saw Aquasteed beautifully adorned with a lady who approached him, looked painful.

I wish my husband's love could come true. But there's nothing you can do. That was how it was again.

"... ah!

"Rain."

If I watched Tiara Rose while reading today, it started raining all over again. If Elliot speaks up unexpectedly, Aquasteed will look up as well.

- You looked like you were having fun reading, but this ruins it.

If Aquasteed looked up into the sky slightly, the clouds would have covered the sun. It's not like getting down that long.

That's what Aquasteed thinks. He moves his hand forward.

"Dear Aquasteed!

"As it is, the book gets wet. Just a little bit, that's fine."

Gather your own magic and Aquasteed will see the sky again.

If you cast a small spell in your mouth, it will rain only around Tiara Rose to avoid it. Instead of rain, a small rainbow rested directly on Tiara Rose, making it a very fantastic view.

In this world, there is something called magic.

Aquasteed, the king and prince of the great kingdom, has immense magic within him. In addition, he often acts as a magic swordsman because he is fond of swords.

But Aquasteed prefers the sword one way or the other, and doesn't use much magic. That's how he used it for her, just once he exchanged greetings at a night club, just watching her through a window.

"... even though I want you to be bound"

Pompous, Elliot's voice leaks.

"Yeah?"

But Aquasteed misses it because he was watching Tiara Rose rejoicing in the rainbow.

Fiancée of Haltnites, the king prince of the Lapis Lazuli kingdom. How could Elliot want to cry when fate was such a cruel thing to do?

Everyone wishes their husband happiness. I wish this thought would come true. Look outside with a rainbow, I think Elliot has one.

That must have been the beginning of Aquasteed's love.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Dear Aquasteed, are you ready for your letter?

"Ah. Fly this to Your Majesty."

"Okay."

A year after Aquasteed first saw Tiara Rose. The time has come for me to finish my studies abroad.

And it coincided with the graduation of Tiara Rose, Halt Knights, including Aquasteed. From now on, these two are going into a full year of marriage preparation.

That's what everyone thought. - Until I saw that graduation party.

"Wingspan, fly through the clouds!

Elliot, who receives a letter from Aquasteed, casts the magic of change on the letter.

The letter then turned into a bird mould, winged wide through the window into the sky. This magic is very difficult and treasured.

Well, it's not something the squire can use, because he's an Aquasteed squire. Elliot learned magic desperately.

"Now the country won't have a problem"

"Yes."

Today, on the day of the graduation party - it's late at night.

Aquasteed proposed to Tiara Rose and was allowed an escort home. Neither Aquasteed nor Elliot will miss this opportunity.

Upon returning home, Aquasteed immediately wrote a letter to his country and put forward a calculation for the future.

That you proposed to Tiara Rose. Arrange for the castle to be equipped with all the rooms and things around you.

"If you think you've gone in a bit of a good direction - that's just fast, Dear Aquasteed. It sounds like a fool I've been worried about."

"... right. I'm surprised myself."

- But it's also true that I thought this was the only place.

Tiara Rose, who was shaking a little. And before that, Halt Knights with a stared face.

How can you let a woman of your choice stand alone in a place like this? Aquasteed smiled as soon as she took the hand and said it was all right.

An application form for engagement was prepared during the day and delivered to the Marquis of Clementil at first light the following morning.

Of course, there's not enough time to go home, but more than that, Aquasteed wanted Tiara Rose back to herself.

And the wish came true, and a reply of acceptance was received from the Marquis of Cramenthir the morning after the date.

I was happy with that reply and wanted to go see him soon, Aquasteed, but that ends in concern. Because the Marquis of Clamenteal told me that Tiara Rose was coming.

They say they're sorry for the sudden visit, but that's not true at all. Because it's nothing but welcome.

"Thank you, Marquis Clamenteal. I'm so glad to see Miss Tiara Rose."

"... I'm glad you said that, too"

"Thanks for talking about the engagement, too. We're all set, so don't worry about anything."

"Was it"

Marquis Clamenthir nodded at Aquasteed's words, which he would naturally say.

But I honestly didn't think we were making arrangements so far. In this minute, Marine Forest, as well as its rooting for King Alexander, will be over.

Why is my daughter so loved by the king prince of the great kingdom? That's what I doubt, but the Marquis of Clementil accepted it as a matter of course because he was drowning his daughter.

It's such an adorable tiara rose. I will only let my wife come to a firm man who loves me. It is unfortunate about Haltonites, but it was also a shame for the Marquis of Clementille.

"Now, if you'll excuse me for preparing to welcome Miss Tiara Rose,"

"Welcome and thank you for your concern. My daughter will be happy."

After a brief greeting, Aquasteed breaks up with the Marquis of Kramentile to get ready.

Nevertheless, Aquasteed only gives instructions and places them. In the meantime, I have to get the job done. In order to have some leisure time with Tiara Rose, there are few tasks that need to be completed.

I gave Elliot the basic instructions and headed right to the office.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then a few hours later, a woman announces the ascent of Tiara Rose.

Aquasteed asked Elliott to guide Tiara Rose because several documents remained. Of course, I'm going to finish it right away and head over.

What we have is a rose garden in a small garden.

I thought the garden with its yellow and pink roses would look great on Tiara Rose.

But I didn't see Tiara Rose when Aquasteed went to Rose Garden. The fact that I can't even see Elliot shows that he's still on the move.

- Still, you're taking too long.

The Rose Garden is definitely closer to the reception room where Tiara Rose waited than Aquasteed's office. Aquasteed, questioned, moved his legs to the reception room immediately.

It's in the castle, so it's not like there's anything dangerous. Plus, they're using Elliot as a guide. He has the best sword arm and magic arm.

- No way, did you meet Prince Haltnites?

That idea brings Aquasteed to his head, but I don't think so right away. Tiara Rose is not guilty of anything at the graduation party.

There won't be anything like complaining here.

Yes, I was thinking - …….

If you walk down the hallway to the reception room, all you see are Tiara Rose and Halt Knights.

I thought you were being put on a claim, but apparently things are not right. It was just before Halt Knights' hand touched Tiara Rose's head that Aquasteed immediately turned to the two of them.

Close your eyes slightly to the indication of intent that you don't want to, and hold Tiara Rose gently against your chest guarding over your head with your hands. Aquasteed pays Halt Knight's hand as it is, and at the same time points his gaze at Halt Knight like it shoots out.

- Don't be silly.

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

If Aquasteed told him in a cold voice, Haltnights shook his body frighteningly.

Usually, Aquasteed and Halt Knights, which is one way or another close. But that's too much after the graduation party.

Neither did Halt Knights think he'd be hated so far. And at the same time, he was clearly told that the two were engaged.

- You made it that bad, and now you want me to be unconcerned with Tiara?

Inside Aquasteed, anger at Halt Nights engulfed him. And at the same time, I want to make sure that Tiara Rose is protected.

"... Huh! Oh, Master Aqua!

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

Tiara Rose, surprised in Aquasteed's arms, accidentally calls Aquasteed's name by her nickname.

I'm terribly happy with that, and Aquasteed smiles gently and mouths one on Tiara Rose's forehead.

Because I'm not used to it, Tiara Rose, who turned bright red, looks up at Aquasteed in embarrassment. She was so cute that she would fit softly in her arms.

"Prince Haltnites. Tiara is my fiancée. Can you stop trying to touch me...?

"... Huh! Shh, I'm sorry. You're officially engaged so soon..."

"- Yeah. If you understand, I'll miss you this time"

Aquasteed embraces Tiara Rose's face on her shoulder to keep Halt Knights out of sight.

I stroked that beautiful hair to show it off and gave another piece of advice to Halt Knights.

"Well, shall we go? Because I have tea and treats that Tiara likes."

"... thank you. But I asked so suddenly..."

"I'm fine. I was thinking of meeting you, too."

While confused, Tiara Rose follows Aquasteed and walks. Halt Knights, who had been watching the situation for some time, left the scene silently though.

Sneaky in the corner, Filine was in a gutsy pose... but nobody witnessed anything.
