92 2. Filine Facts

Aquasteed, who reigned from Prince Wang to King, turned the location of the office into a wide area. Because of the increase in the number of bookcases where materials are placed and the number of people entering and leaving work.

Still, the interior of the calm atmosphere is the same as before, so I could quickly get used to it.

tall windows and an Aquasteed concierge placed in front of it. The leather chair is pitch black and seems comfortable to sit on.

There are also tables and sofas for discussion. But today, Tiara Rose, who sat there, looked magical.

……

Aquasteed and Elliot, who were working, accidentally look at each other and tilt their necks.

I'm always up to something with a healthy Tiara Rose in mind, so I'm not planning on doing it again...... I can't help but think.

"What's wrong, Tiara? If you need anything, I want you to talk to me."

"Dear Aqua... Actually, I don't think Philine's well."

"Philine did? I'm worried about that."

Aquasteed takes his seat and goes to the couch where Tiara Rose sits and sits next to him.

Seeing that, Tiara Rose leaned against Aquasteed's shoulder. Take a small breath and get a voice saying, "I'm worried".

"Oh, maybe... Elliot hasn't heard anything? From Filine."

"Is that me?

"Yes."

Pong and clapping his hands, Tiara Rose turns her gaze to Elliot.

Gentle eye area and soft orange brown hair. Tranquil in character, but excellent proximity to Aquasteed.

Tiara Rose thought he might be listening to something from Filine because she and Philine were colleagues.

Elliot thinks like she's worried about "uh-huh," but she doesn't seem to have any idea and shakes her head small.

"I think it was as usual......"

"Yes...... Philine is worried because there are some things she tries to solve alone."

"Sure, it's solid."

If he hadn't been consulted, he wouldn't have looked any different.

Tiara Rose finds nothing clueless and unfortunate, but given Filine's character, I'm convinced she can't help it either.

Instead, maybe it's because we've known each other for a long time that I've noticed how Filine has been doing lately.

- There's something a little boisterous about it, isn't there?

Although I'm usually fine, I seem to be losing my mouth these days.

But it's hard to even think that Philine can honestly tell me to be honest with you.

"Me, I'm going to see what's going on!

"Shall I come with you?

"No, Master Aqua should stay at work. I'll be fine by myself."

"Okay."

When Tiara Rose stands up dull, Aquasteed cares and speaks up. but that is turned down by tiara rose.

Indeed, Aquasteed quickly convinced that it would not be a good idea for men to squeeze into trouble-seeking consultations between women.

One word, I just told him "be careful" and sent Tiara Rose out.

Tiara Rose walks through every corner well cleaned and beautiful hallways with a mysterious face.

- Suddenly I said to Filine, "What's wrong? Why don't you ask?

In the meantime, let's start by asking what's going on with Filine, who would be resting in the pantry.

So Tiara Rose even came to the holding room where the maids were free to use it. Gently open the door just a few centimeters and peek inside.

He's like a suspicious man, but fortunately there's no one else but Tiara Rose right now.

Behind the holding room...... in the window seat, there was a figure of Filine looking at something.

- There he is!

I wonder what Filine is looking at, Tiara Rose stares. Apparently, you're looking at the letter.

That look looks depressing, and I guess the cause of my recent troubles is that letter.

But I don't even see the content of the letter you're just reading, and it's not a good idea to take a peek at it on your own.

- Shall I speak up?

But maybe it's a concern you don't want to be asked.

When Monmon and Tiara Rose were troubled that way, Philine and I met each other in the sieve.

"... ah"

And at the same time, the surprise was in my voice.

Well, I can't help it if they find me. Tiara Rose opens the door, goes all the way down to Filine, who is in the grand holding room, and sits in the chair across the street.

Filine looked strange and saw Tiara Rose.

"Dear Tiara Rose? If you call me, I'll be on my way..."

"It's okay."

Tiara Rose laughs bitterly at her for looking sorry.

"If you don't like it, you don't have to tell me... because I haven't seemed to be well with Filine lately"

"-!"

To Tiara Rose's words, Filine's shoulders bounce. My husband poked me at the stars, and I guess I felt sorry for him for worrying.

Lowering his eyebrows, Filine nodded as she noticed.

"You can't hide anything from Master Tiara Rose."

"Filine......"

With that said, Filine sent the letter she had to Tiara Rose.

Tiara Rose, who interprets it as meaning you can look at it, reads the contents through her eyes. That was sent by Filine's parents, but she frowned unintentionally at the one-sided content.

"As it says, my parents told me to get engaged..."

"Because I'm a good old man," Philine says, smiling bitterly.

As she told me, the contents of the letter were about marriage.

Philine is 21 years old, too, so she's old enough to get married. I don't usually even talk about romance, so I never thought I'd be worried about marriage.

- But if you think about it, you deserve it.

If I hadn't come to Marine Forest with Tiara Rose, Philine would have been married too.

Nevertheless, I am concerned about the spicy look on Filine's face.

"You don't seem very motivated... who are you?

"... Dear Tiara Rose, I'm Lucas Dunston, as you know"

"Sure... that was a childhood thing for Filine."

"Yes."

Ask me, it was Filine's childhood tame being recommended by her fiancée.

Of course, Tiara also knows about Philine's childhood training Lucas as a nobleman.

Lucas Dunston.

He is the eldest son of the Count Dunston family, 22 years old.

Which would be a nobleman who would fall into the wealthy category.

Tiara Rose also remembers talking several times at night clubs and so on.

In retrospect of what he was like, I do think Lucas was often watching Filine.

- Speaking of which, it's like I saw Master Lucas chase Philine around...

Tiara Rose laughs bitterly when it seems like a one-sided Lucas one-sided thought.

"I do not want to return to Lapis Lazuli on the grounds of marriage. I will always want to serve Tiara Rose."

"Filine...... Thank you, I'm so glad to hear that. But if you like Philine, don't hesitate for me."

If I think about myself and give up who Philine likes...... I don't want you to be.

I told him for it, but Filine smiles fluently and says thank you.

"As long as I marry Lucas, I'm ready to be separated from home."

"Uh, Philine, don't you like Master Lucas?

"I can't believe you like that guy!

Looking at the clearly out-of-the-box filine, Tiara Rose opens her eyes. Filine rarely reveals her emotions about herself.

Sigh, Filine continues her words.

"Lucas is who he is. If you don't get what you want, I guess it's not funny. You have persevered in inviting me to go out, and I still receive letters regularly."

"Really..."

I know it's Lucas' love heart, but everything seems to be working the other way around.

"I keep saying no when it comes to marriage, but I'm persistent. I hope you don't mind."

"It was... If Filine doesn't want to get married, I won't say anything. If you have any problems, talk to me. Because it helps."

"Thank you, Dear Tiara Rose"

Philine smiles with a neat look, either because she was able to speak inside her chest.

Then I'll go back.

"Yes, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me"

"Yes."

Knowing the circumstances of Filine, Tiara Rose leaves the holding room behind.

Because staying all the time won't be a break for Filine. He slowly came back and told him that there was no problem, and Tiara Rose turned to the guest room where Sirius was staying.

Sirius has come to study abroad from Lapis Lazuli, home of Tiara Rose.

I decided it would be a good idea to ask him if I were to ask what was within Lapis Lazuli. Of course, to get information about Lucas, who is getting married to Filine.

When I told the maid with Sirius what to do, I decided to prepare a room and have tea there. Tiara Rose, the queen of one country, doesn't go into a man's room.

After waiting for a while for tea, Sirius arrived.

"Sister Tiara!

"Prince Sirius, suddenly I'm sorry"

"No. I'm just glad to see Sister Tiara"

Sirius Lapislazuli came to the room happy.

Lightly pigmented golden hair and empty eyes. He is the next king to inherit the throne of the Lapis Lazuli kingdom, although he is still a 10-year-old boy who laughs with an unusual look.

I was Tiara Rose's ex-fiancé, and I'm going to be Halt Knights' brother.

"But what's wrong? It's rare that Sister Tiara needs me."

"Actually, I need to ask you something..."

"What do you want to hear, sir?

To a decent Sirius, Tiara Rose advances the couch across the street saying, "Please sit down". Where the maid prepared the tea, she cut the story out.

"... I see, son of the Dunston family. Of course I do."

"All I know is what happened before I married you, so I don't know much about you right now."

"Oh, right"

Sirius tried to remember and gave Tiara Rose the information she knew.

Lucas' house is fairly lubricated financially, he said, succeeding in the business of crafts such as processing corals. It also has multiple stores in the city and is one of the most popular in Lapis Lazuli.

"I see, you can certainly snort at me..."

"Sister Tiara?

"Looks like I'm proposing to Filine, and I wanted to know who she was."

"Were you... The Sanfists remember that, on the contrary, the business is not doing very well"

Contrary to the Dunston family in Lucas, the business of the Sunfist family, Filine's home, is not performing well, Sirius says.

Although Tiara Rose also knew that Filine's house was not originally very wealthy, the situation may be serious in addition to her thoughts.

I mean, I can see that this time it's a political marriage with a lot of money involved.

"Conditionally, I don't think it's bad..."

"Right. Objectively, it's a political marriage for no reason."

Sirius seems to have thought we should get married, and he's making it seem strange.

But as Tiara Rose, I don't think I want to endorse a marriage that Filine isn't convinced of. I wish I had an excuse to say no somehow, but Lucas wouldn't be convinced by the seeming no.

First I thanked Sirius and Tiara Rose left the room behind.
