70 10. Forest Fairy King's Ring

I heard Aquasteed give a speech, and despite the suddenness, many of the people gathered. Tiara Rose is proud to say that Aquasteed's hopes were there as well.

The place where the speech will take place is a square built right next to the royal castle.

It is also a place where ordinary people are allowed to enter, and is usually a place to relax and interact as a park. Now there, many citizens are gathered.

Tiara Rose takes a softly peek at the square through the window before the speech begins.

"Wow, amazing man..."

So many people, people, people, people that I think more than half of the people are coming. Those who can't get into the square are overflowing the road, waiting for Aquasteed now or now.

Then, shift your gaze a bit to see the plants in the square. Although I have heard Elliot's report, I had not yet confirmed a plant that had begun to wither with my own eyes.

I thought the tragic sight was spreading, but the flowers were still blooming, and the trees had leaves. I'm relieved about that, but if you look closely... the shades are dull somewhere. Exactly, as the expression began to wither.

I am anxious that once Ferres' power has stabilized, we will be able to solve this problem. Reverting dead plants is like bringing the dead back to life.

"Tiara"

"! Dear Aqua..."

As he stares out the window, Aquasteed holds Tiara Rose as "it's okay".

Feel anxious and gently stroke Tiara Rose's hair and touch her forehead with her fingers. Keep your forehead revealed and kiss there gently.

"I'm worried...... I'm sure it'll work out. There is Aqua, and most importantly... Lilia is working hard for His Highness Ferres."

"Right. And then I have Tiara, so it's a hundred manpower."

Aquasteed's finger, which was stroking his hair, touches Tiara Rose's cheek. Its temperature is comfortable and Tiara Rose slips into Aquasteed's hands like a small animal.

We both want to stay like this forever - I can't believe it, I think. Such a sweet space. Your lips overlap from either side, hugging each other to make sure they're warm.

Like replenishing the tough situations ahead with energy to get over them.

"Mm, Dear Aqua...... Aqua"

"Yeah. Just a little more. May Tiara bless me so that words may reach the people"

"... n"

You know what, whenever I give it to you, Tiara Rose smiles. He was spoken to several times to snuggle, and when he realized it was time for the speech to begin.

When Aquasteed showed up from the balcony with Tiara Rose, the crowd shouted woefully. Tiara Rose has goosebumps when the air trembles so much in people's voices.

"His Highness Aquasteed, His Highness Tiara Rose!

"If you two are around, this country is cheap!

"Bless the Fairy King to Marine Forest!!"

- This has more expectations than I expected.

Is the royalty what so much pressure comes from the people? I meant to know, but my legs tremble when I have to see them. Tiara Rose unconsciously squeezes the hem of the dress.

Aquasteed, who takes that weight all by himself, was looking straight at the gathered. Not if you're trembling when you're the only one standing next to Aquasteed. Tiara Rose similarly looks firmly at the people.

Tiara Rose also became a daughter-in-law and royalty now under Aquasteed. I eat relaxing sweets all the time, because I'm not a marquis maid.

Aquasteed takes a step forward for the speech and turns back to Tiara Rose before speaking.

"Tiara, beside me"

"Ha, yes... Huh!

Take the offered Aquasteed hand and line up next to the Tiara Rose as well as the step-by-step and step-by-step Aquasteed.

Then the people said, "Your Highness Tiara Rose!" A great cheer boiled down.

"My queen is loved too much by the people."

"Dear Aqua..."

Aquasteed grinned, his right hand softly up. All the people who saw it shut their mouths and the square was surrounded by silence.

I can't believe how many people there are and how quiet the sight can be.

"Thank you for gathering here despite the sudden announcement."

Make sure you see the faces of all the people, and Aquasteed opens his mouth.

Its voice is low, but clear, beyond the square - it spreads all over the city. To the loudness of its voice, the assembled people opened their eyes wide and were astonished.

What Aquasteed uses is an empty fairy king's ring. This has an extension that makes the voice of the owner sound wide. For the king to preach the word to the people, the ring.

"We live in this country, so we will all grasp the tragedy. When the stars are disappearing from the night sky, plants and crops are losing power and starting to wither away."

Aquasteed takes a slow, deep breath.

"-But. This is the country the fairies and their kings love. I, too, am blessed by the Fairy King. That's why I assure you. Marine Forest needs to wither."

Speaking forcefully, Aquasteed holds Tiara Rose's hips next door. Once again, show the people that some Tiara Roses are loved not only by themselves, but also by the Fairy King of the Forest.

Rest assured, Tiara Rose smiles and waves as she says so.

"I have already moved to bring this matter to a resolution. But there is no power to bring the plants back to life here and now. Therefore, I want to ask everyone. I want you to enjoy it until I fix it."

"As soon as we have food insecurity, we are also preparing to open our national treasury. Don't be anxious, trust your Highness Aquasteed."

Hearing the words of Aquasteed and Tiara Rose, the people immediately express their willingness to endorse.

"It's usually His Highness Aquasteed and His Highness Tiara Rose, who are moving for Marine Forest. There may not be anything we can do to help, but believe me, we can wait! Wouldn't you? Guys!!"

"Of course! Even the food is stockpiled. Even if we don't open the treasury right away, there's no way we can hold out."

"Your Highness, who moves to solve the problem, should not be stopped with our dissatisfied voice!

There's no problem with the city, show it endurance. The voice of such a people reaches the ears of the Tiara Roses. Tiara Rose peeled all the way over where she was about to cry unexpectedly.

"Very nice, you're a people. Dear Aqua,"

"Oh. I'll do my best not to betray this trust"

◇ ◇ ◇

There are two main problems.

The bracelet shall be delivered to Ferres to restrain and stabilize the force.

Correspondence between disappeared stars and plants that have begun to wither.

There's Ferres. "Sealed and ready to head to the king's chambers, see the members accompanying him. Claire and Keith will accompany us this time, so there will be relatively no problems.

That's what I thought Aquasteed, but, hey, Tiara Rose sees me thinking of something as I can think of it.

"Tiara? Something bothering you?

"Dear Aqua, I wonder if the plants that began to wither will also come back to life if they went under His Majesty Ferres and put on their bracelets."

Sure, Tiara Rose's anxiety is best.

Keith opens his mouth when Aquasteed is bothered to respond.

"We cannot revive dead plants. Even if you stabilize Fell, the disappeared stars will just return. the affected earth, its influence will only disappear"

"I mean, the fact that the influence disappeared doesn't go back to being dead."

"Yes."

To Keith's exact words, the air gets a little heavier.

"Tiara...... sorry, if I had more power"

"It's not Master Lilia's fault, don't say that"

Tiara Rose tells Lilliage that it's not the same. At the same time, breathe heavily and close your eyes to decide something.

See how it goes and Olivia goes under Tiara Rose looking worried. "What's wrong? 'It's okay,' he grins at Olivia, who seems worried.

And Tiara Rose stared at Keith as she was determined.

"Tiara?"

"Me?

Aquasteed calls Tiara Rose to bewilderment, but now only Keith shows up in those eyes.

"Keith, I need a favor."

"Hmm?"

"I want you to entrust me with the ring of the Fairy King of the Woods."

To the words of Tiara Rose, all but the fairy king are annoyed.

The Fairy King of the Woods ring is a promise of plant abundance. If we do get this ring, we may be able to resurrect dead plants.

Keith chuckled, "I see," he muttered.

"Surely, if it were my ring, it would also be able to resurrect the dead earth. Tiara Rose, are you ready to receive my ring?

"I do!

"Ooh."

Listen to Keith and answer immediately.

You admired that, and Keith laughs.

The Fairy King of the Woods ring promises abundance.

However, there are conditions for that.

One is that Marine Forest has only that effect in the country.

The other is when the bearer of the ring - Tiara Rose - has abandoned this country. The Fairy King of the Woods ring erases the effect and returns under Keith.

The richness to date will disappear and the growth of plants will be reduced. He asked Tiara Rose if she was prepared to receive the grievance from the people.

"It's impossible for me to dump Marine Forest. Spending the rest of my life in this land, I've made up my mind since I was married... when Aqua reached out to me."

Looking into Tiara Rose's eyes with determination, Keith narrows her eyes with joy.

"... from me, please"

"Aquasteed, too, huh? I wish they'd asked me that much."

!!

Tiara Rose can flaunt her face to Keith, who agrees with her.

"Thank you! Now you don't have to worry about starving the people."

"Right.... but then we'll split it up."

"Sure, it would be a good idea to get a ring while heading under His Majesty Ferres"

Approximately the grateful Tiara Rose, Keith tells her it's not such an easy issue. Aquasteed nodded at it too. I don't have time to do this slowly, one by one.

Hearing that, Tiara Rose nods too.

Where the ring is, it's the fairy king's hidden stage. Only man blessed by that fairy king is eligible to go there. Therefore, it follows that only Tiara Rose can go to Keith's hidden stage.

"I'm worried about letting Tiara go alone..."

"If you're going to say that, I'm worried about Master Aqua. But now it's a matter for the country. I will do my part, and I ask His Majesty Ferres and Lilia to do the same."

"Oh."

It was decided to split in two hands, and Tiara Rose and Keith went to the hidden stage where the Fairy King of the Woods ring was kept.

Aquasteed headed between the sealed and king where Ferres awaited, along with Claire, Lilliage, Elliot, Olivia and Levy.

◇ ◇ ◇

Tiara Rose and Keith headed for the woods behind the Royal Castle.

In fact, there is a small tree gate, where it is the hidden stage of Keith the Fairy King of the Woods.

"Here... I've been through this a few times."

I can't believe an entrance was made to such a grand place, like passing by an occasional walk. I think so, but the grass and flowers make it impossible to see it as an entrance.

"It's in a place like this, but the entrance to the ring is hard to understand and make. Evidence suggests that no one has ever realized this is the Tree Gate. Thinking about it, it's amazing you got yourself a pearl ring."

"That's... well, it's a maiden's account"

Tiara Rose deceives vaguely because I just can't say it's because Levi remembered the game knowledge.

When you gently go inside the tree gate, the smell of greenery becomes stronger.

Tree gates are tunnels made of trees. I don't know where it leads, Tiara Rose thinks it's a strange tunnel. Sometimes when the fairies used to bring me here, I couldn't believe I was connected under Keith.

A lot of flowers were blooming inside the tree gate. Nor is that just a flower.

"What is this... a gem?

"Oh. The grace of the earth."

The center of the flower was filled with gems instead of honey. It's also bright somewhere in the tree gate, glittering and surrounded by trees.

Keith picks it one and gives it to Tiara Rose.

"The jewels, the earth makes. Because the environment is good here, special flowers with their nutrients will bloom."

"It's unique to Keith's realm."

"Well. You can't see anywhere but here."

- Instead, if it blooms outside of here, there 'll be confusion.

For God's sake, the jewels are blooming as flowers. Plants never escape, and you can pick them all you want.

"So was Pearl's realm, but that's the fairy king..."

"What, have you reviewed it?

"… more than ever, I respect Keith"

So Tiara Rose pokes that it's not a matter of reviewing or anything like that. Seeing that, Keith chuckles, "That's funny."

"To me, the fairy king, it's like a tiara to behave like that."

"... Didn't Keith tell you to do that"

You also forbade me to call you after, and often said, Tiara Rose is all alone. They're funny how Tiara Rose looks like that, and Keith laughs again.

"Already! Even the Aqua are in trouble toward His Majesty Ferres, so let us hurry!

Without time to relax, Tiara Rose increases her walking speed. Keith still laughs when you usually walk slowly.

- We need to get the Fairy King of the Woods ring and go under Master Aqua quickly!

Although I may not need much power of my own, there is a possibility that I can help something because I have a starry ring ring.

After a while, a silver door appears.

Margined with plants it is majestic, somewhere intimidating, and stops by accident.

Seeing Tiara Rose like that, Keith laughs as she turns her arms around her neck from behind.

"What, did you notice that?

"I don't..."

"Nothing to be afraid of. You welcome Tiara Rose here?

Like one day when you invite me to my castle - say so, and Keith slowly opens the silver door.

Inside it was like a small room, unlike the tree gate that came through, with no flowers but no plants, it was just a quiet space with white walls and a pedestal in the center.

One way or another, it doesn't look like Keith's room that prefers flashy.

"Look, come here"

"... Yep"

Keith offered his hand to Tiara Rose, who was not in the room and looked around inside. Taking it, it escorts slowly to the front of the pedestal.

The ring placed on the pedestal is a double chain type that attaches to the middle and pinky fingers. The chain part was decorated to mimic the plants, and the part of the ring was adorable with a jewel of the flower's heel.

- Beautiful.

That's the candid feeling.

When I saw Keith right next to me, all I got was a nod back. Take it quickly, Keith's golden eyes are complaining to Tiara Rose.

Take it gently, Tiara Rose looks at the ring. The color is pink gold, but the addition and subtraction of light also seems to make it green. When I try to put it on my finger quickly, it takes a stop from Keith.

"Huh?"

"Tiara, you're going to put your finger on yourself when I'm here, the king?

If you have no idea, Keith takes the ring from Tiara Rose's hand.

"Keith!"

"You're not gonna give me a gift from the Fairy King without me, are you?

Keith laughs like he does. Tiara Rose cannot be denied, the king's word.

Tiara Rose carelessly offers her right hand to close her eyes and calm her feelings.

Keith takes Tiara Rose's right hand and mouths it on its back - softly, put the ring on. Then a great force flows into Tiara Rose.

"-!"

"This is my power. Tiara would handle it well."

Keith's power circles the entire body of Tiara Rose. Because of its strength, his body is about to fall flutter, but Keith hugs him tight.

The Fairy King's ring takes about a day to get acquainted with the body. If you remove it before you get acquainted, that recoil will strike you. When Tiara Rose had previously removed Pearl's ring, she fell asleep and lost her memory so much.

- But it's a lot more powerful than that.

Repeat breathing shallow and wait to calm down.

"... it's okay now"

"Until you get used to it, don't get distracted - Ah"

"Huh?"

The moment Tiara Rose walked away from Keith and breathed - making a sound of a pong, a plant grew from the ground where there was nothing.
