64 4. Adorable Customer

also a mundane black hair with a slightly grown horn somewhere cute. He seems to be wearing accessories around his neck, somewhere stylish.

Tiara Rose and Aquasteed nail to that figure who doesn't know if it's safe to say animal.

Is it a fairy? But can it actually be a horrible organism because the horns are growing? Think about that, but immediately reconsider that you can't possibly look adorable.

"That's the animal Tiara helped...?

"That's right. Good, you look good."

Tiara Rose is relieved because she was worried that she would be weakened by the water. Instead of calling the window immediately, try to open it and invite it in - it can be stopped by Aquasteed.

"Tiara, it's not dangerous. There's no guarantee, so don't take it personally."

Aquasteed pulls Tiara Rose's hand as she says she will be worried. And Aquasteed opens the window and invites the animal in.

Tiara Rose worried that she might escape again, but the animal came so indoors without warning of anything.

"I've never seen it before, but is it a fairy?

"Me too, I've never seen an animal like this. I'm sure it's not a normal animal, but when they say if it's a fairy... I don't know"

"You're a strange girl."

Look at the animal as Aquasteed would be wary, but there's no way he's attacking or trying to do something. And while I'm relieved, I tell him to stay away from Tiara Rose.

But the question of what this animal is soon disappears. This, by the animal itself.

"Aquasteed, Tiara Rose, I want your help!

"-! The animal talked...!?"

The crushed eyes moisten a little, but no tears. Eyes with such strength stare firmly at Tiara Rose and Aquasteed.

'If you stay like this, Ferres becomes something that's not good. I want to stop it...... would you please help me?

"His Royal Highness Ferres?

Tiara Rose is surprised by the name of someone she doesn't even think of.

Ferres Marin Forest.

It is the first king in the basement of this royal castle, sealed and present among kings in a state of ghosts.

The person who helped Aquasteed when he created the Star Sky Ring.

- How does this animal relate to His Highness Ferres?

There were no such animals in that place. The same was true of Aquasteed, who told him in a quiet voice, "Who is it?"

The animal took a step back and lowered his head with a pepper before naming his name.

"I, Lilliage Marine Forest. Please call me Lilia. '

"... royalty?

Only royalty can name Marine Forest.

I heard the name that was told, but I had never heard such a name, even in the royal family of history. If it were possible, it would be the Lady of Ferres, who has no official record.

Aquasteed's predictions seemed to have been met, and Lilliage told him he was "his wife".

I didn't know it was Her Royal Highness.

'No. Tiara Rose, thank you for helping me'

'It's okay,' Lilliage laughs to Tiara Rose, who immediately knelt down and thanked her. The next time I see Aquasteed kneeling in the same way, I go on with the words a little worried.

"Is Aquasteed ill or not? Now that my power as king is starting to wake up, I think it's hard to have more magic and control. '

"I feel more magic, but no malaise, etc. Thank you for your attention."

'Yes... I'm glad'

I'm relieved to see the kind looking Lilliage and find that Tiara Rose is not a dangerous animal. But at the same time, I wonder why she, the Queen of Ferres, is here like that.

The times you two have lived in, long ago. Like Ferres, Tiararose wonders if Lilliage remains in this world as a ghost or close to it.

I want to help Ferres, but so maybe the result of trying to move somehow is that...

- I love His Highness Ferres.

Just as I think of Aquasteed. Perhaps it was also the presence of Lilliage that the ring wanted to convey.

Then Tiara Rose decides on her heart to help Ferres and Lilliage.

'Oh?'

To the lid, Lilliage turns her gaze to the table and gives her voice.

'What would that be?... very cute'

"It's a sweet treat, called cookies. Do you want to eat it?

'I want to try it!!'

Icing cookies that mimic flowers look so gorgeous.

Previously, there were only some cookies that were just baked, but as a result of Tiara Rose's creation and spread the word, the castle cook could also make them.

Tiara Rose held Lilliage up and sat in her chair, handing her an icing cookie.

Lilliage, who received it with a fluttering hand, indulged in cuteness with his eyes before putting it into his mouth.

'Hawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawa

"Glad you're happy"

"Women like sweets all the time."

Aquasteed smiles when she sees Tiara Rose and Lilliage eating cookies happily.

And then, I notice a little dirt on my Tiara Rose dress. Where the hell do you think it is, and I immediately realize that Lilliage is the cause.

"Tiara"

"Yes?"

"For one thing, let me give my support to Master Lilliage. I'm sure you're tired too."

'! Yes, I did, I... I'm sorry. I was outside, so I'd be glad to have a bath.'

Nodding at the words of Aquasteed and Lilliage, Tiara Rose put hot water in the tub provided for her room, "You'll have a bath ready," she said.

◇ ◇ ◇

While Tiara Rose and Lilliage are in the bath, Aquasteed instructs Elliot that the search for the animal is over.

Immediately returned to routine work, but Aquasteed had more to do.

Call Elliot and Filine and also tell them that changes may be made to future schedules.

Along with that, I'll also tell Philine and Elliot about Lilliage. It would be a lot smoother to move just because the two of you who are close are grasping it.

"Are you the queen of His Highness Ferres..."

"Oh. I and Tiara can't be absent from the wedding. Worst of all, Elliot will be asked to stay in Marine Forest and deal with Master Lilliage."

"... well, that's something you can't do other than me"

Filine goes with Tiara Rose, but gives instructions to get the room ready for Lilliage to be comfortable.

"Depending on what Tiara Rose thinks, it may be safer to use Tiara Rose's room than to have a new one"

"Right. Let's check it out."

I don't care, Lilliage's identity is the identity.

I want to avoid situations where someone else can find me.

As Aquasteed conceived what to do, Tiara Rose and Lilliage turned up after the bath. Tiara Rose, who was bathing earlier, just had to take care of Lilliage and change her dress.

Lilliage's black hair is fluffy and she has a cute ribbon on the back of her neck.

"Dear Aqua! And you have Philine and Elliot, just fine."

"Yeah?"

"Master Lilia told me that the tomb of His Highness Ferres' parents... is apparently in Lapis Lazuli. Is it okay to bring Lady Acari's wedding, Lady Lilia?

According to Lilliage, the tomb is buried together with powerful items that my parents, who were royal, had.

It means that if we can get that, Ferres' power will be more stable than it is now.

'Though, Ferres wasn't very close to his parents. I'd like to sneak up on it. "

"Right...... Then let's schedule it so we can stop there."

"Thanks, Aquasteed"

To the fluttering, smiling Lilliage, Aquasteed asks if he can widen the map and find out more about it. Lilliage rides up to the table with her little body, looks at the map and tilts her neck.

'... I'm sorry, I don't know where it is. Probably near the castle.'

"No, I have nothing to apologize for. Maybe an old map would be better. Elliot."

"Yes, get ready immediately"

Elliot leaves the room to pick up an old map to keep in the Knights.

Filine prepared tea and macarons so Elliot could slow down until he returned. I knew Lilliage would shine her eyes and nail her macarons, so Philine laughs small that it looks like there are two Tiara Roses.

As Lilliage was eating macarons obsessively, Elliot with the map returned. Spread it right on the plane, but there is no royal castle in the Lapis Lazuli kingdom there.

Yes, this is still a map before Lapis Lazuli was founded. But in the times Lilliage has spent, this should be the closest map.

'I'm sorry, I don't know.... I just don't think it's that far from Marine Forest'

"Okay. If it was a royal tomb, there should probably be some trace of it. Elliot, do your research one step ahead."

"Yes, sir."

Exactly, because of other countries, there can be no major searches, and it's not a case of cracking down on personnel. It was the day to leave for the Lapis Lazuli kingdom, thinking that maybe it would take quite some time - without getting any information.

◇ ◇ ◇

Inside the luxurious carriage, Tiara Rose and Aquasteed. Then, Lilliage.

Exactly no such animal or fairy has ever been precedented, so while on the move, Tiara Rose is somehow deluded by pretending to be a doll she likes.

Now he runs into the country of Marine Forest for the Kingdom of Lapis Lazuli.

'Wow, the sea is beautiful. Besides, I've never been to another country before because I've been in Marine Forest!

So I'm so excited, Lilliage tells me she's happy.

I'm obsessed with the view outside, mumbling the Run nose song.

"I'm glad you're happy for Master Lilia, Master Aqua"

"Oh. I'm glad you said you like your country after all these years"

Perhaps Marine Forest, where Lilliage has lived, was more natural and beautiful than it is now. Still, Lilliage tells me she loves Marine Forest now too.

Cute and delicious treats that never used to be. Beautiful streets, smiling people. 'Thank you for taking care of this country' - Lilliage, who told me so, seemed really happy.

As a royalty, I am more than happy to say a word to Aquasteed, who has built this country.

"A lot more, I'd like you to see Marine Forest"

"Right."

The three of us enjoyed the journey between the bundles, taking our time to see the scenery.
