17 2. Welcome Party

"Tiara, are you tired?

"Yes, thank you, Master Aqua"

Slowly stroking her hair, Aquasteed gently hugs Tiara Rose. Tiara Rose stroked her chest down as her anxious mind seemed to fade away.

I came to Marine Forest and met Isira the heroine. It upset Tiara Rose terribly and made her fear bigger.

Now, after a 20-day journey, we have reached the Royal Castle of Marine Forest, where we are resting in Tiara Rose's private room.

Greetings to kings and nobles are scheduled after tomorrow. Now in free time, it was time for Aquasteed to spoil the anxious Tiara Rose.

"If there's anything in it for you, you're gonna tell me right away, right?

"Thank you"

Looking over the room at the crease, Aquasteed wonders if there's anything missing. But the one street thing is ready, so Tiara Rose shook her head that it would be okay.

Beautifully appointed rooms are divided into reception rooms, main rooms and bedrooms. The reception room is currently filled and it's tea time in the main room.

Calm furniture based on white. Light-colored curtains and more are available, which go very well with the Tiara Rose atmosphere.

"My room will be upstairs. If you need anything, don't hesitate to visit."

"Yes."

Tiara Rose has to hurry and remember various places because she has not yet grasped the inside of the castle. Busy days go on for a while.

Then you might not have to think about Isira-like the other way around. With that in mind, I have tea in my mouth.

"As I told you, there's a welcome party for Tiara in three days. Of course I have the dress, so put it on?

What Aquasteed has been preparing for a long time is a water-coloured empire line dress that would look great on Tiara Rose.

Perfect for the fluffy, adorable Tiara Rose, Aquasteed can't help but look forward to the escort.

"For me, a dress? Glad to hear it, thank you"

"Oh, she's really cute already."

"Oh, Master Aqua?

I look at Tiara Rose smiling happily and hug her as "cute".

It was hard to calm down on the carriage journey. Because I'm back at the castle, I want to spoil Tiara Rose.

I mouth my forehead, my eyes, my cheeks, as usual. Even though I have done so many times already, Tiara Rose dyes her cheeks in a shameful light every time.

The beginner part is cute like that again, and Aquasteed even wants to be more mouthful. Touch your lips to blur and watch Tiara Rose react softly.

"... Huh!

…………

- What is it, this cute creature?

Tiara Rose stares softly at Aquasteed, trying to shudder puffy. It's like a small animal, very much an aquasteed craving for asylum.

"A year to get married..."

To the squeaky aquasteed, Tiara Rose puts her neck up. Ask Aquasteed, who said it was a long time ago, what happened?

"Too long. Even now, I want Tiara to be my wife..."

"Dear Aqua...... You can't do this anymore, right? I will be a good bridesmaid to help you. Please wait a little longer."

"I know."

Take a big breath and mouth Tiara Rose again. "Mmm..." a sweet exhale leaked from her, tickling Aquasteed's ear.

It was a lot of love to get in, Aquasteed. I tasted Tiara Rose's lips for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇

It was the day of the welcoming party while we slowly spent time in the royal castle.

Sitting in front of a large dresser, Tiara Rose goes on to support the welcome party. Beautifully organized by Filine, the castle woman also supports it.

The discipline of fun going forward between women also blooms gorgeously in conversation.

"What hairstyles are popular in Marine Forest? Master Tiara Rose is the star of the evening, so you have to stay in the mood."

"Now, half-ups are popular among the ladies. Master Tiara Rose is so adorable, why don't you braid the flowers together?

"That's lovely."

Filine puts Tiara Rose's hair together and consults with a woman about her hair. showing the exuberance. There was no gap between Tiara Rose pinching her mouth.

I smiled at the phillines and women who worked hard for me and decided to have them finish what they wanted.

"Then can we put in a round of deep blue flowers?

"Deep blue, is it?

"... with the same color as Aqua's hair, I thought it would be good"

The women open their eyes to Tiara Rose, who told them softly. And I immediately said, "That's a good idea!" He agrees with me.

Tiara Rose, who had just turned red wondering if she would have been a little bold, but was relieved by the reaction.

One female officer leaves the room to pick up flowers, and Filine and the rest of the female officers decide on the content of the specific hairstyle.

"It's beautiful. His Royal Highness Aquasteed would be delighted."

"Thank you. I have to try my best."

"It's okay. Tiara Rose was a good example of a lady when it comes to socializing."

As if it were about me, Philine, who talks about "humph". Indeed, Tiara Rose was set as an example by the Lady in Lapis Lazuli.

So elegant to stand and behave.

Light water color and pink flowers with a slightly stronger color flavor on the hair. I put in the deep, blue-colored rose of the big wheel that the woman hastily prepared for me there.

Keep an eye on its rarity. Blue roses are very rare and not so easy to get.

"That's... Strangely enough, I was looking for flowers in the garden and this rose stained blue in front of me..."

"Huh?"

The woman who brought the rose says she doesn't even know why.

Filine leaks her voice "Maybe" to Tiara Rose, who tilts her neck wondering what it means.

"From the Fairy of the Woods, in a gift?

"- Huh? But is that what you can do?

"I read it in a book. Forest fairies say they can grow plants"

I'm sure you're right.

It was the castle ladies who immediately agreed to Filine's words.

When I heard the story, none of the castles were blessed with forest fairies. But the princess, who was previously liked by the fairies in the woods, gave it beautiful flowers. That, he says, leaves a description.

"Well. I'm so glad to hear that. Next time I have to thank you."

"Right. If there's anything you like about fairies, we'll have it."

Tiara Rose makes me happy with the fairy gift I never thought I'd see. Would it please you to wear a rose of your own colour?

Softly, Tiara Rose waited for Aquasteed's visit.

◇ ◇ ◇

Highly fanfare rings and Tiara Rose and Aquasteed enter the welcoming party venue.

The King and Queen of Marine Forest have already entered the venue. Others, the nobles who support the country, are invited to glorify the occasion.

Tiara Rose, the lead actor, heads to the center of the venue as soon as he enters. Thank you along with Aquasteed and be the first to perform the dance.

Dancing allows everyone to recognize Tiara Rose. That's the welcome party in this world.

"Tiara, come"

"... Yes"

Aquasteed takes Tiara Rose's hand and slowly steps into the dance. Let him see the slow movement, the music rings.

Everyone took that eye away from Tiara Rose, who turned herself round gracefully and smiled happily and danced. Of course, Tiara Rose doesn't realize that's happening......

"Totally. My tiara is too cute to be in trouble"

"Oh, Master Aqua?

Aquasteed smiling bitterly as he danced, but seemed very happy. Escort the dance gracefully with your hands on Tiara Rose's hips.

Tiara Rose was surprised that someone had never been so easy to dance with.

"That blue rose I put on my hair is also very pretty. It's the same color as my hair and I'm going to be illusioned that everything about Tiara is mine"

"Ah...... But everything about me belongs to Aqua."

The conversation while dancing is very sweet.

Tiara Rose nods honestly though to Aquasteed's words like saying she wants it all to be her own. I can't wait to be told that while I'm lit.

- Is this unconscious? Damn, Tiara has trouble flirting with me.

"... come on, that's it"

"Yes."

At the end of the day, the two of us stare at each other and try to turn our bodies slightly against each other to end the dance. He received a grand applause and Tiara Rose gracefully thanked the lady.

Taking Aquasteed's escort, Tiara Rose heads down to greet the king and queen.

I walked slowly, one step at a time, Aquasteed to calm my loud heart.

The king, at the end of the red carpet. He sat back in his luxurious chair and awaited the visit of the Tiara Roses.

The name of the man, king of Marine Forest and father of Aquasteed, is Sotiris Marine Forest, a king who, at the age of 40, is making a big move through this great nation.

The woman who is the queen and mother is Lavina Marine Forest. Being tolerant of anything, she is also a good understander of Aquasteed.

On his knees in front of those two, Tiara Rose utters words of joy.

"We were also very excited about this welcoming party. Miss Tiara Rose, Marine Forest would like to welcome you from the heart."

"I am so glad to have an adorable person like you on my Aquasteed daughter-in-law"

"It's a waste of time. But I'm very pleased. We will learn well for a year so that we can support His Highness Aquasteed."

Warm and welcoming, Tiara Rose is relieved. I smile softly and look forward very much to the future ahead.

To do this, you can't let Isira, the heroine of the sequel, take Aquasteed. Now he must never escape, before the king, Tiara Rose softly swore to his heart.

But soon, the occasion will come to try that oath.

It was Isira who came first, before Tiara Rose and Aquasteed, who went to the venue after greeting her.

Tiara Rose shook her body for a moment, but dressed calmly and thanked the lady. Isira returned it, too, and gave her a beautiful thank you.

With regard to the engagement of Tiara Rose and Aquasteed, the announcement has been made before the two enter. "Congratulations," Isira told me.

"How about Marine Forest? Would you like to stay at ease?

"Yes, Your Highness Aquasteed, there is no inconvenience because you are doing so much better"

"Well. That was good. I want to get along with Tiara Rose more... Don't hesitate to visit us next time"

Isira takes care of Tiara Rose and says words, but Tiara Rose of the day really finds herself. I don't know what to do, I turn my gaze to Aquasteed.

I immediately saw him nodding with a smile and was slightly dismayed with his heart that this was a visiting decision. A little, don't tell me Tiara Rose thought you'd say no.

"Thank you, Master Isira. I'd love to see you."

"I'm glad. My mansion is facing the sea. So beautiful, stay tuned."

To Isira's words, Aquasteed nodded loudly as well.

"Miss Isira's sea is Marine Forest 1. Tiara will be delighted."

"I'm looking forward to that. We don't have any friends in this country yet, so please stay close."

"Yes, of course."

- I don't want to get too involved, but I'm suddenly getting close...!!

Faster than expected to get along, perplexing while returning the social dictionary. The approaching of Tiara Rose and Isira would of course increase the chances of approaching Aquasteed.

I want to keep Aquasteed from attacking Isira, but doesn't this seem like Tiara Rose is having a meal?

At a time when Tiara Rose is inwardly sober, Isira shouts, "It's time -"

If you look around, there were a lot of nobles who wanted to say hello to Tiara Rose. Not all Isira can monopolize Tiara Rose and Aquasteed.

With a farewell greeting, Isira followed the occasion.

"I'll keep saying hello for a while, but aren't you tired?

It's going to take a lot of time to get all the greetings. Aquasteed cares about Tiara Rose, but she and I are future queens and do bridesmaid training. To this extent, there is no way to raise the roots.

If he smiled and responded, "It's okay," the nobleman visited to greet the two of them one after the other.
