69 9. Lost Starry Sky

"I didn't think Levi would take the bouquet that was directed at me!

"I'm surprised at that one. Dear Acari, because he was pompous..."

Sigh like Olivia gave up.

Look at that, Tiara Rose and Aquasteed just have to laugh bitterly. This story is going to get screwed later.

Now that Akali's wedding is over, he's in the carriage hurrying back to Marine Forest. Elliot and Levy do the honors, and the other knights are running as they escort around the carriage.

We decided to return to Marine Forest first with only the minimum number of members because it would take time for everyone to travel.

"In the meantime, it was nice to be able to attend the wedding safely. Too bad I wasn't able to stay in Lapis Lazuli much, but when I settle down again, you just have to make time for me to travel"

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it"

While Aquasteed strokes Tiara Rose's hair, she tells him she wants to go to other countries with him.

Olivia can't help but look at it with a smile and say it's like a new still and eye blessing.

"Ugh, I want water, water ~"

"Are you all right? Dear Lilia......"

'Mm... yes no'

Lilliage, who was resting on Olivia's lap, looked disgusting but asked for water. Tiara Rose sounds worried and Olivia gives Lilliage a drink of water.

Gently stroking her back, Olivia opened the window just a little to change the air.

◇ ◇ ◇

Soon after crossing the border between Lapis Lazuli and Marine Forest, a glimmer of wind blew Keith and Claire appeared. (Can't you go to another country?

Marine Forest has become unstable and we've been waiting for the Aquasteeds to return.

"I didn't expect you to arrive and be greeted early, Claire"

"Even I never thought this would happen. I can't believe Lilia left Marine Forest."

For one thing Aquasteed gets off the carriage and goes under the crail.

"We need to discuss this as soon as possible."

Claire, who looks tired somewhere, breathes. Turn your gaze to Lilliage, who is in the carriage, and then squeal your fingers with your pussy.

"-!"

At the next moment, with Claire, Tiara Rose, Aquasteed, Lilliage, Elliott, Olivia and Levi disappeared from the spot and transferred.

A temple in the sky, the realm of the crail.

A large space and a round table and chairs for a number of people were available in the centre.

It will be the first time the Tiara Roses have entered this place without the protection of the Fairy King of the Skies, Claire. Olivia also tried to come here on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land but it was impossible.

Olivia, who is about to raise an accidental exclamation, but now I endure with my hands on my mouth that it is not the time.

"Claire, just stop letting me transfer all of a sudden without a word"

"I didn't have much time."

The knights, who have left without telling them anything, are probably in a hurry. I know you'll be waiting nearby, but Aquasteed thinks you should go back as soon as you can.

"Tiara, how have you been?

"Keith! What the hell happened?

"Well, I've been waiting to tell you that. In the meantime, from the description of the status quo"

Keith, the Fairy King of the Woods, who is celebrating Tiara Rose.

The long hair is lightly assembled, and the height is masculine and the king's piercing. "You're in a lot of trouble," said some distracted voice.

Claire was the first one to open his mouth after making sure everyone got to their seats.

"Firstly, from the current state of Marine Forest. The stars are disappearing from the night sky and the fairies are weakened. If we don't do anything about it, the earth will lose its strength."

"Does that have anything to do with His Highness Ferres? How did this happen?"

Aquasteed asks Crail to explain why this happened all of a sudden, when there has never been a problem before.

"I'll explain it in order," Claire tells Lilliage as she turns her gaze.

"First, Fell, the first king… Ferres and his queen, Lilliage. During the founding of Marine Forest, we shared our power with Ferres. It's superior to normal blessings."

"But to Ferres, a human being, the power was too great."

…………

Listening to the words of Claire and Keith, Lilliage distorts her expression spiciferously. But without saying anything, I urge the two of you to go ahead.

"Its immense power replaced Ferres with King of the Starry Skies. It's the same power as us fairy kings. Just like us fairy kings, Ferres created a ring with his own power - a ring in the starry sky."

――

I heard Claire tell me that he was given the power of the Fairy King and that Ferres had acquired the power that no man could, and Aquasteed breathes.

Aquasteed himself was recognized by Ferres as king and one of the creators of the rings of the starry sky. In other words, it seems to be pointed out that aquasteeds are different from humans, just like Ferres.

Aquasteed's gaze is directed towards Tiara Rose's fingered rings in the starry sky.

"Our three fairy kings and Ferres, king of the starry sky. Founded by these four, this is where Marine Forest starts."

"I see. Claire, can I have one?

"Go ahead, Aquasteed"

"Why is there no information on Ferres, the first king, in this country? Even more unnatural without information if you are so cordial with Ferres."

The country is adorned with paintings of historical kings. But there's no sign of Ferres there. Only the portrait of the first king is missing.

At the same time, it is equal to no material written about what kind of person he was.

Aquasteed thought there would be a good reason, but if he had done the founding with the Fairy King, it would be weird.

Still, this country cares about fairies. How did you treat Ferres, whom the king of that fairy gave power, to hide?

Lilliage opened her mouth as Aquasteed stared at Crail for answers.

"Let's talk about it from me."

Standing on a chair with a small body, Lilliage looks around everyone's face. And in its hands, the rings of the starry sky created by Ferres are ravaged.

'This is the ring of the starry sky that Ferres gave me. The effect is twofold. The first is the power of healing. And the other thing... is to accept with this ring the immense power that Ferres could not receive'

"Eh...!?"

One of the most surprising things about that word is Tiara Rose with a starry sky ring given to her by Aquasteed in the same way.

If it's the same starry ring, it's probably the same effect. It was probably also the healing power this ring had that revived Tiara Rose's memory.

Touching his own ring, Tiara Rose can't hide her agitation in a beating that gets faster.

I wonder if this ring also embraces the unacceptably immense power of Aquasteed. But I don't feel that way right now.

But now it's more about me than...

"Dear Lilia, is Aqua okay...!?"

…………

Tiara Rose is anxious that maybe Aquasteed will also become unstable, like Ferres.

Seeing Tiara Rose like that, Lilliage sees' You'll Continue 'and Aquasteed.

'If it's true, I wish I could have done something with just me and Ferres.... but that didn't come true. It is painful to entrust such a thing to our children'

Lilliage's body, who told him so, is trembling in small pieces. It looks very spicy and the thought of not wanting to bother Tiara Rose and Aquasteed about ourselves.

After a little silence, Lilliage continues the words.

'... you might have a prediction. This time, Ferres became unstable and there was an anomaly in Marine Forest... because my tolerance was also full and I could no longer take Ferres' power '

Although there have been signs of this for a long time, Lilliage says she has been unable to do anything about it until now.

Kaku Liliage has also just managed to move in a way that is not human like this. Tiara Rose and the others are less free than they think.

"Shut up, I'm sorry"

To Lilliage's words, Tiara Rose shook her head "No".

It would be very courageous to tell them that it would be a burden on them. This is all the more so because the country and Aquasteed will be heavily involved in the future.

'Aquasteed. You are very influenced by Ferres. That would be your birth qualities. Closer to the king than anyone ever born'

"I mean, I... inherit His Highness Ferres' blood in colour"

"Yes, sir."

Lilliage turns her gaze to Aquasteed.

"It was only recently that I was able to move in this way. But Ferres has always had an impact '

"Influence?"

'Yes. Aquasteed, your power was affecting Ferres. I don't even know why... but I think Ferres would know. Is it just more power or is it some kind of mutation'

…………

- I mean, am I the cause of things?

I never thought my powers were affecting Ferres. We'll have to meet Ferres and find out more.

'Aquasteed. You, too, may one day be crushed by the same power as that Ferres. Tiara thought about it exactly when she heard the story, didn't she?

"Dear Lilia......!

'... it's okay. Now, not yet.'

…………

Now the silence flows when I hear the words of Lilliage that

Everyone is afraid of the upcoming Marine Forest and worried that something will happen to Aquasteed.

It was Aquasteed who broke that slight silence.

"Thank you for your valuable story. Dear Lilliage, but my body is fine, and my magic has increased... not that I can't control it."

'Yeah. That surprised me so much to see Aquasteed too. Because Ferres seemed spicy right after he got his powers as king...'

Very strange, says Lilliage.

Of course, that's best if you can stay like this because it's not a bad situation.

"The answer must be Tiara."

Me?

Keith shares his thoughts with the distressed Lilliage. Tiara Rose, hearing it, sees Keith properly. Anyway, Tiara Rose doesn't have a lot of magic, nor can she use special magic like an acari.

If it's heroine, what the hell can a villain's wife do?

Keith laughs when he sees Tiara Rose making her wonder.

"I told you before, right? You said you were funny. At the end of the vessel, the amount of magic is low. So I guess it's easy to accept the power of Aquasteed"

……

Tiara Rose hears the word and thinks about her characterization as a villain's warrant lady.

One of a number of characters with a name. Less important characters were listed as names in the game, such as [students] and [knights].

If you consider the position of Villain Warrant Lady, surely that spec would be higher than a nameless mob. Although I never had a chance to use it.

In other words, isn't Tiara Rose's body originally built to withstand even using high-spec magic and the like?

That's why we're using the power of the Fairy King right now - but it's okay to use big magic that consumes a lot of magic. People with little magic can fall. When you think about it, it goes without saying.

I never thought that coming here and being a villain warrant lady would help Aquasteed.

"In the meantime, we need to do something about Ferres now. Lilia, you had a solution, and you went to Lapis Lazuli, didn't you?

'Of course it is. If you put this on Ferres, it should absorb and stabilize the extra magic'

"I see."

Look at Lilliage's bracelet and nod if Keith does.

"Then how do you put it on Fell's arm..."

"Right. Now I'm going under Ferres, but my bones just break."

Hear the words of the two fairy kings and find that this is not a very good situation. You should get ready immediately and go see Ferres in the basement of the Royal Castle.

"Sorry about us"

"Never mind, Master Lilliage. I'm royal, so that's part of the role."

"... Aquasteed looks just like Ferres."

Lilliage smiles and sees them all.

And to cement your resolve - to speak of that wish.

'Then I ask you all. As it is, Marine Forest itself is swallowed up and doomed by the power of Ferres. Please, don't let Ferres, who loved this country, do that. Join me... help Ferres'

"Of course, Master Lilia. I will protect this country with Aqua until I die."

"I won't let that happen when this country dies. We still have a lot of places to go."

Listening to the words of Lilliage, Tiara Rose and Olivia nod of course.

Aquasteed gets up and looks around at the members here.

"From here on out, it'll be a pretty tough phase. Miss Olivia has become involved, but we need everyone's help for Marine Forest."

"I will always be next to Master Aqua"

"Don't say such a thing about getting involved. As a nobleman of Marine Forest, I will do everything I can. You can also use Levi like your hands and feet."

Tiara Rose and Olivia smile at Aquasteed's words. The two fairy kings nodded and began to move this country, trying to save Ferres.

◇ ◇ ◇

Just as the story came together, Claire moved everyone to the royal castle in Marine Forest. Thanks for that, each of them will be ready soon.

Aquasteed first thought to discuss it with the King, but the King himself came under Aquasteed. I guess he heard about his return and decided he couldn't even afford to wait.

While heading to the office, Aquasteed asks about the current state of Marine Forest. So far, there seemed to be no difference from the information given by Crail earlier.

"From me, too, I have something to report. Or we know the cause itself"

"You mean you got that much information... that's just blessed by the Fairy King in the sky"

One of the weapons of the Fairy King in the sky is information.

Even if you haven't been blessed, that's about as much the king grasps.

I'm relieved by that, too, during the bundle.

What I don't like is what comes next...

"Dear Aquasteed, reports are up that the plants are starting to wither!

"The plants!?"

Aquasteed's office.

Elliot, who immediately went to check on the situation, changed his blood phase and came back. I hold my head that this is what it means to affect the earth in its unlikely reports...

There's no way I can revive a dying plant.

One suggestion is made by the King as Aquasteed devises what is going on.

"If we're going to move soon...... we're going to need words to reassure the people to contain the confusion"

"Speech, is it..."

What the King suggested was a speech.

There is, of course, a reason to pretend that the story is not with the king himself, but with Aquasteed, the king's prince. That's the rate of support from the people.

Prince Wang, who is blessed by the Fairy King, has more trust than the King. In addition, Tiara Rose, the Queen, has received blessings from the Fairy King.

Thinking about it, the King decided that Aquasteed would be more deserving this time than he was.

"You're more appropriate, not me. What do you think, Miss Olivia?

When the king asks Olivia, Olivia claps her hands and endorses.

"That's a very good idea. His Royal Highness Aquasteed is popular with the public, so it will be reassuring for the people to have words to wipe out their anxiety."

"We don't know at the moment how much time it takes to get to an end. I think you should take immediate action."

Elliot also agrees with the King and immediately leaves the office to prepare his speech. Even though he grinned bitterly at the immediate vicinity, Aquasteed stood up to get ready.

Aquasteed tells the King that he has not yet given details, but will let them come from Elliot while he is making his speech.

Nodding, the king smiles softly as if he is pleased with the growth of my son. If you can count on me so much, you can give me all the authority.

"You seem to know a lot more about this one than I do. I'll take care of the castle, and you can move freely to solve it."

"That would be greatly appreciated. necessarily, save the marine forest.

Aquasteed and the king exchanged their gazes and nodded at each other.
