68 8. Akali's Wedding

"There's a star from Marine Forest...?

Hear the words of the knight who came, and everyone who was on the spot breathes. That's never happened before, and I've never heard of it.

What the hell is Tiara Rose all about, it bothers my head. But before guiding the result, Lilliage screams.

'Ferres is becoming more unstable...! If it stays like this, it will transmit its effects not only to the stars but also to the earth!!'

"Huh!"

"Come on, come on... I just need to purify the bracelet I got and take it"

Lilliage was in a hurry and hung up on Tiara Rose. The way it is, I can see that the situation is not quite good.

"But the star disappears... Dear Lilia, what happens to Marine Forest?

'Me too, I don't know. This is the first time Ferres has not been in good condition so far...... However, yes… it is possible that it is no longer a place for people to spend'

"People...?

Everyone breathes in the words of Lilliage.

Marine Forest is a great nation, with the protection of fairies on a rich earth. Even with that, I don't know if people can live in it - that's about it.

The stars disappear, so maybe the sun disappears. Maybe the water will dry up and the grass will stop growing. If you think about it, you won't have a cut.

Tiara Rose nods with Aquasteed and confirms her intentions that she must hit her hand as soon as possible.

"Dear Aqua..."

"It's okay, Tiara. The country has His Majesty. Our national treasury has nothing to shake with a little disaster"

Tiara Rose thinks that if it is an important part of her country, she should return soon. Trembling anxiously, Aquasteed smiles at Tiara Rose saying "no problem".

I hope there are only natural anomalies yet, but it is imperative that there be confusion if it involves the lives of the people.

Hearing Aquasteed's words, Tiara Rose nods forcefully.

We have Acari and Olivia here, so it's not a very good idea for the royal Tiara Roses to show their impatience. Tiara Rose looks forward, indulging herself in wanting to talk to her soon.

"Dear Acari, Dear Olivia. I don't want to make the mess bigger yet. Can you keep this on the spot?

"Of course."

"I know, sir"

Acari and Olivia nodded honestly to Tiara Rose's words that she didn't want me to say yet.

Relax about that, think about what you should do. At the same time, it is important to support Aquasteed and Liriage in making it easier to move.

- If anything, we need to make sure Lapis Lazuli can help us.

I think about sending a letter to my father, the Chancellor, as he lays low in content. Akali was also listening to the current report together, so it would help.

That is also the support Tiara Rose, who gave Lapis and married Marine Forest.

- We must leave Marine Forest to His Majesty to do what we can.

But more than that.

"Dear Lilia, you should return to His Highness Ferres..."

'Tiara...... no, things do not get better when I return. Without purified items, there's no point.'

So when I stayed here until Akali's wedding was over, Lilliage made it clear.

Of course about Marine Forest, but you'd be more concerned about Ferres. Tiara Rose was worried about that, but she's hacked by the strength of Lilliage.

- I must also be strong as the Lady of Marine Forest.

"Elliot, check the Marine Forest information. Accompany it with scheduling."

"Immediately"

The knight who brought the news, let him go home one foot away.

The Tiara Roses board the carriage and meet on their way back to the castle. Aquasteed will meet with Elliot as soon as possible and will only be in your podium for a little while.

The Tiara Roses think about what has happened with the Acaris while riding the carriage.

There were no such gaming events, although there were all people with gaming knowledge. As a result, I have no idea what's going on.

"It's okay," he laughs positively, as the acari worries.

"In the meantime, I think we just need to purify the bracelet. Isn't it very much like a maiden game to put a hero back together with a purified item?"

"Dear Acari... it's not a game, it's a reality"

"Of course it is, but there must be a way to definitely be a happy ending!

Tiara Rose laughs bitterly at Akali's words, but I don't think she'll be saved by the brightness of Akali at times like this. If you are anxious to be royal, it will be passed on to the people.

"For now, let's do what we can. Once my wedding is over, Tiara and the others will have to be ready to return to Marine Forest."

"Right...... thank you, Dear Acari. Dear Olivia..."

"I will return with you. Levi, just make sure you get out of here right after the wedding."

"Yes, sir."

Because we don't know anything at this stage, we decided to collect information from each other at Marine Forest. Tiara Rose, Olivia and I might be able to grasp something separate if from each point of view.

In the meantime, I kept my own return schedule, and the story came together by returning home as soon as Akali's wedding was over.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Given that the wedding is about to begin, I'm careless...... sometimes I do"

"Right. Let's congratulate Master Akali now, although there are some things about Marine Forest."

Before the ceremony began, Tiara Rose was taking her time while Olivia and I had tea. Now Akali's ready, and when that's done, I'll move the place to join him.

Levi, Olivia's butler, is serving me on this occasion, as I leave the liriage thing to Filine.

Aquasteed is now out of his seat because he has a meeting with Elliot on his way home, etc.

"When Akali gets married, she won't be able to come to Marine Forest very often."

"Yeah, right."

"I miss you," Olivia tells me, sipping tea. Tiara Rose nods at it and agrees.

Since Tiara Rose is also in the position of Queen of Aquasteed, the Prince of Kings, it is not possible to go out so easily.

"Thinking about it, marriage isn't always a good thing after all..."

"Dear Olivia...... But if you really want to be with me, I'm sure it will change."

"Is that what it is?

If he can't make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Olivia is going to be single for the rest of his life, which makes him occasionally anxious. I'm a duke's warrant for Marine Forest, all the more so because it doesn't seem like it would be a good idea to have an offer of engagement.

Olivia can't seem to imagine much, "I still have a second son in the Count family..." he mutters.

Looking at Olivia like that, Levi tells her, "Why not something else?"

"Levi?"

"We don't endorse marriages that make Olivia feel painful."

"Oh...... thanks. Then help me if I'm about to marry more than the eldest son of the Earl's family."

"My pleasure."

Indeed, Tiararose sees the two of them saying that now that they are taking Levi on a dignified pilgrimage to the Holy Land would be the happiest time for Olivia.

Levy is not only excellent as a butler, he is also very reliable as an escort because he is working out. A knight serving the royal castle may not be enemies in bundles.

- Nevertheless, am I allowed to give that order here?

They're both going to say it for real, so they're of poor quality.

He wants Olivia to have a happy marriage one day, but with this butler, it's a tough future - Tiara Rose got a little worried.

◇ ◇ ◇

The wedding of Acari and Haltonites took place in the same cathedral as the game. A brightly colored stained glass with a chandelier as if the stars were glowing.

To the sound of a majestic pipe organ, a clear melody played by the choir.

"Wow, nice..."

- As I saw in the game.

Clams wrapped in pure white wedding dresses made of lace and halt nights dressed in flock coats made of white and sepia.

- I'm glad you two had a happy marriage.

Though relieved, Tiara Rose recalls that a lot has happened with Acari and Halt Knights. Originally, Halt Knights was Tiara Rose's fiancée.

I ended up stumbling upon the acari and though I wasn't true to the story on second thought...... as an ending it's a happy ending.

Because it's the wedding of Akali, the heroine, and Haltnites, the attacker.

"Tiara"

"Dear Aqua?

When I was thinking about the game, Aquasteed talked to me in a whisper. When I tilt my neck wondering what's wrong, I get a worrying look.

"... No, because it's Prince Haltnites' wedding. I was a little worried. Very, very hard, wouldn't you say?

"............... I'm fine. Now, I want you both to be happy."

"Right..."

- Tiara's strong.

From Aquasteed's point of view, Tiara Rose is the victim, so to speak, of being suddenly pushed to break her engagement. Though I proposed as I was, I would have had plenty to think about.

Would I have behaved like her if I had fallen into such a situation? That's how I think.

Even if it was done...

- Like this, you won't be happy for the two of us.

It's a good way to forgive someone for hurting yourself. Because she has a wide heart and blesses someone's happiness immediately - she must have been able to get blessings for the fairies in the woods that nobody loved.

"Besides, this is how I was able to be with Master Aqua. I think I'm the happiest person in the world."

So I'm glad it turned out, Tiara Rose smiles.

"At all, I'm no match for Tiara. It's me who's happy."

"... Huh!

Aquasteed also agrees with Tiara Rose and smiles gently.

That smile looks great and Tiara Rose makes her face red in the light. She says she sees things about Aquasteed every day, but it still happens from time to time.

"Don't look so cute in here.... you won't be able to stand it, will you?

"! Dear Aqua..."

Because it's Akali's wedding, Tiara Rose looks forward as she holds her red face down with a handkerchief. It's just a scene where you're given a ring and you say the words of your vows.

"Do you think of this country and vow to support and accompany each other when you are sick or healthy? Haltnights Lapis Lazuli Lactomut"

"I swear."

"Do you think of this country and vow to support and accompany each other when you are sick or healthy? Acari Titrait"

"Yes. I swear."

With the word of the priest, Haltnites vows love to Akali. And Akali pledges his love as well.

Tiara Rose can breathe unexpectedly into the two of us staring at each other happily. I swear love. I've seen this scene many times in the game, but the reality is still hugely touching.

"I swear with the power of holy prayer I will make this world (...) a place full of love and happiness. So all of you who are joining us, have a flying love for this world!

"Ah, Acari!?"

I hear what Akali has declared, and I'm panicking that Haltnites might not be like pre-practice. Tiara Rose thinks what an acari she is, laughing unexpectedly at it.

Akali is a man of the Lapis Lazuli kingdom, but this world itself is also the game she loves.

Even if it was a country that wasn't playing in the game, he wants to turn it upside down and protect it.

"Looks like Miss Acari," laughs Aquasteed next door. Olivia, who is attending a little far away, is making her eyes gleam, and that's good. As much as I can hear her heart saying please don't do more.

Akali receives the ring from Halt Knights, looks lovely and then mouths it softly.

Slowly closing his eyes, Akali prays. Along with that, the participants pray for love for the world by putting their hands together and closing their eyes just like the acari.

"Please pray with us, Master Haltnights"

"Oh."

Nodding at the word of the acari, Haltnites lays his hand on the hand of the acari.

"To Lapis Lazuli, I pray for the abundance of flying off. Then convert this power to holy and also purify the despicable!

When Akali declares so, a fluffy, beautiful brunette rises and a white light. Everyone gets nailed to that mysterious figure.

It is what holy power has become a pillar of light. Reminds me to miss seeing the same sight when Akari awakens to this power.

The light of purification goes through the cathedral ceiling and pours all over the country. At the same time, in the bracelet held by Lilliage waiting with Filine in the guest room provided for the cathedral.

Participants are narrowing their eyes about to blindfold the overflowing light. "This is holy prayer......" I heard whispers honoring Akali that "our country is safe".

"Wow. That's holy prayer."

"Now the bracelet I give you to His Highness Ferres must also be purified"

"Oh, yeah"

Tiara Rose and Aquasteed decided to return to Marine Forest shortly after attending the ceremony. I would have stayed at Tiara Rose's parents' house for a few days if it had been, but it's all postponed.

Now I'm just saying that the stars have disappeared from the sky, and no harm has been done to people. Nor have they reported to other countries. We are going to go back to the country and see how Ferres is doing to decide on future moves.

Tiara Rose is relieved that the ceremony went well.

The ritual was successfully completed, and then Acari and Haltnights both exited and finished. - where the acari opens his mouth "Then what's next".

"Acari? Would you leave...?

"No, because I haven't thrown the bouquet yet"

"Throw a bouquet...... what?

- Dear Akali, please exit!

Seeing the two people who had started the conversation, Tiara Rose felt a headache. Tiara Rose, who is invited as royalty, can hear the conversation because she is watching the ceremony in the front row.

Hartnights is in trouble not knowing what it is about because he is not in the habit of doing bouquet toss in this world.

Unlike Japan, most of the attending warrants are married or have fiancées.

I realize that Acari's gaze is directed at Olivia when I wonder if it might be annoying.

"Oh, that's what...!?"

"Tiara?"

"Oh, no. When I receive a bouquet of brides, I have a jinx that says," The next thing I know, I'll be happy to be married. "

"I see, so..."

Aquasteed knows Olivia doesn't have a fiancée, so he hears and convinces Tiara Rose that Akali will bake her care.

But the music of exit is already starting to play.

Definitely not having a bouquet toss meeting...... and seeing Olivia wondering what the hell she's going to do while laughing bitterly at the freedom of the acari.

Then Olivia twitches her hand, and her gaze stares at the bouquet. Definitely turns out I'm serious (bee) about picking up a bouquet.

- If you take the bouquet of holy prayer, you can't marry the Count's second son?

That may be the bulk of offers for engagement coming from royal and duke sons in other countries.

Olivia, whose hobby is pilgrimage to the Holy Land, has the goal of living as she pleases with her daughter-in-law around the Count's second son.

"The girl who got my bouquet, be happy!

"- Huh!?"

Acari, who proclaimed so loudly, throws the bouquet heavenly high. Its trajectory is straight towards Olivia, although it makes it look like a casual throw.

From the ladies who heard the word of the acari, a delightful voice lifts up, and his gaze turns to the bouquet. But would it be an enemy to Olivia already in a battle posture?

- It's so burning. Lady Olivia is rare.

Although there are times when tension is definitely high, the calm side is usually strong. Even while I was attending the ceremony, I strained the smile of the lady to keep her quiet.

But now, I'm stretching my arms toward the bouquet that's coming at me.

Olivia caught the thrown bouquet loose and falling - couldn't do it.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Is that it?"

Tiara Rose, Acari, Olivia and...... puts a question mark on my head.

Indeed, the bouquet was imminent before Olivia's eyes, and no matter what she thought, it was not the kind of situation that other warrants could catch.

I don't know what the hell that means, but I put my gaze around the cathedral - and I found it.

"Levi has it..."

"............... what the hell is that butler really"

"I don't know what that means," Aquasteed told Tiara Rose when she heard her crush.
