105 15. Unreadable Minds

"Oh already ~!!"

"Dear Tiara Rose, I know how you feel... but it can't be."

"... because I didn't expect His Majesty Saravia to be like that!

As Tiara Rose rolls over the bed with her voice raised, she is cautioned by a bitter, laughing filine.

Saravia, who has approached Tiara Rose by saying that she is also ready for a long battle, is staying at the Royal Castle as a guest of honor.

Tiara Rose is a day of constant sighs, saying that it is a troubling thing for Saravia.

If you're having tea, you'll definitely come and see me, or you can't scorn me because I'm Sandrose's emperor.

"Sure, a charming man doesn't like me either. Master Tiara Rose has an Aquasteed, what the hell do you mean by that?"

"Right."

Nodding at Filine's words, Tiara Rose wakes up her body and sits on the bed.

- Or can I stay in Marine Forest, another country for such a long time to the Emperor's sake...!?

If the Tiara Roses broke up with the side room while they were going to Lapis Lazuli, I wonder if even my own country is somewhat messy......

In the first place, can we get such a light divorce?

Thinking mummy, Filine brought me some tea and macaroons.

"Eat something sweet and calm down, Dear Tiara Rose"

"Thank you, Philine"

Just include the macaroon in your mouth and your cheeks will loosen to its sweetness. Eating loosely also calms the feeling of being annoyed.

And, uh, I doubt it.

How could Saravia have come to Marine Forest in the first place? He said he wanted Tiara Rose flowers, but I don't think the emperor himself is worth enough to go out and get them.

- It's the finest ingredient for a treat...

I don't think Saravia would ask for flowers just for a treat, and if she broke up with all the side rooms, I can't even think about giving flowers to women so much...

Perhaps the purpose now is Tiara Rose, but will we really get that far until the emperor of one country gets himself?

…………

"Dear Tiara Rose, what's wrong?

Look at Tiara Rose, who has thought about it, and Philine leans her neck wonderfully.

What the hell was the change of heart when he said he was happily chewing on the macaroon until earlier...

Tiara Rose smiles bitterly and tells Filine what she cares about.

"His Majesty Saravia says he's going to dictate me, but I was wondering if he had a real purpose."

"Does that mean you're making Dear Tiara Rose a convenient reason?

"Yeah, 'cause it's... unrealistic to have me as my wife"

Of course there is a possibility that you are my emperor and really want to get Tiara Rose. But maybe Saravia's sincerity lies somewhere different.

Hearing the words of Tiara Rose, Filine goes on to say, "Indeed…" as well.

"Sandrose is also a great empire, but Marine Forest is also a great power. It's like good because His Majesty Aquasteed is moderate, but if you make a mistake, it's an international issue, right?

"I wonder what His Majesty will do if there is a dispute"

Do you want to sell fights to big country opponents to get yourself? Thinking about it makes the word getting Saravian Tiara Rose seem more and more like a lie.

- Maybe you should check it out.

"Philine, you might want to do a little research on what's going on with Sandrose. Anyone familiar with this?

"If that's the case... isn't Elliot looking into it? I don't think His Majesty Aquasteed has hit Sandrose with anything."

"Elliot did? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him in the last few days..."

Apparently, he was running around investigating Sandrose.

"Let's go to Dear Aqua's office. I'm sure Elliot will be there."

"Yes, we'll be ready in a minute"

"Please."

I asked Filine to prepare a stall, and the Tiara Roses left the room behind.

When I went to Aquasteed's office, besides Aquasteed and Elliot, there was Isira.

I haven't seen Isira lately, so it's been a long time since I've seen her face to face.

"Long time no see, Dear Tiara Rose"

"Dear Isira, it's been a long time. Looking good and glad to see your face"

"Me too."

To Tiara Rose's words, Isira smiles happily.

Isira Pearlant.

It is a heroine in the sequel to the maiden game Lapis Lazuli's Ring, and a duke's house courtier. He is loved by sea fairies and manages the ocean in Marine Forest.

Pale watery hair, orange eyes. A sixteen-year-old girl wearing a cute pink dress.

I like Aquasteed and have drugged him with love pills to get it. But over it Aquasteed chose to talk about Tiara Rose.

With such a past, Isira had stopped visiting the royal castle much.

So it's very unusual for Isira to be here. Aquasteed opens his mouth as Tiara Rose wonders what the hell is going on.

"Actually, it's about Sandrose, and I have something to worry about."

"Are you talking about Sandrose? I'm here to talk about it, too."

Apparently, Isira's here has something to do with Sandrose.

"And Tiara? Then I was just fine. Because I was just going to go get it now. For now, sit down."

"Yes."

Tiara Rose sits next to Aquasteed and Isira calms her hips on the couch across the street.

Elliot prepared the paperwork, and Filine prepared tea for everyone.

"I was asking Elliot to look into His Majesty Saravia and Sandrose. Apparently, Sandrose is experiencing some serious problems."

"... problem, is it?

"I'll explain that to you."

With a serious look, Isira raises her hand.

Arrange Elliot's paperwork, and Isilla moves on.

"I feel like the sea fairies are on purpose, and I've been looking into it for a while now."

"The fairies?

"Yes, as Tiara Rose knows, I often dive into the sea and talk to fairies. That's when I heard something that bothered me."

The source Isira brought is like a sea fairy. Indeed, it is not surprising that they would have had information unknown to humans.

The fairies live within Marine Forest and never go to the territory of another country... but the sea is connected by water. Did you learn anything from it?

One breath down and a shocking word is uttered from Isira's mouth.

"... Sandrose's oasis is starting to dry up a little bit"

"What, the oasis?

In Sandrose, where much of the national territory is desert, the presence of oasis is very large. Most of the time I'm building villages and cities around the oasis, and I'd say it's grace.

If that's true, it's a more serious problem than Tiara Rose imagined.

- Under such circumstances, the emperor will be away from the country?

Unless there's some way to crack it, isn't it hard to get physical? Tiara Rose thinks so and quickly gets annoyed.

"Maybe His Majesty Saravia asks for me... because I have the protection of the Fairy King of the Sea...?

Maybe he's using the power of Tiara Rose and trying to get the water back into the oasis. Think of it that way, and you can nod at what the Emperor himself has forcefully done.

"It's natural to think so, I think...... but it also looks like you're seriously trying to get a tiara"

"Dear Aqua..."

The first aim may have been the resurrection of the oasis, but it's not surprising that I met Tiara Rose and was fascinated, Aquasteed says.

Saravia looks challenged, but it's hard to see where its heart lies.

Aquasteed's hand gently strokes Tiara Rose's hair and smiles, "It's okay," she said.

"I'm not giving Tiara to Sandrose. Elliot's been doing a lot of research."

"Exactly. It's a broken bone to look into another country."

Explain how Sandrose is, with Elliot grinning bitterly.

"As it was from Isira, the Sandrose oasis is beginning to wither away. However, the water level seems to be dropping, and few people seem to notice it. Perhaps only His Majesty Saravia and a very small part of us have grasped it."

"So you can't move publicly."

If we put in a large number of personnel for the investigation, we will be torn apart by the public. But Saravia, I don't know what an individual is doing for a move.

If you are a chara man who usually likes women, the people will also think you are chasing women from other countries.

Nevertheless, we do not know the facts because they are speculations with regard to Saravia's behaviour.

Elliot smiles bitterly and tells his guess.

"Sure, His Majesty Saravia seems seemingly sloppy, but it is also true that the Sandrose Empire has power. It was three years ago, but it hasn't faded since the previous emperor."

"Oh I see, you can do your job..."

Kitten, what a call and laugh about Tiara Rose, but I could see the gap in my conversation with Aquasteed and in my battles.

- More and more, I don't know what His Majesty Saravia is like.

Tiara Rose sighs small as she seems to need to see how things go for a while.

Or......

"Would you like me to put in a little whiskey? Because His Majesty Saravia will visit almost every day"

I thought I might be able to tell you a lot if I asked. Tiara Rose suggested, but soon Aquasteed shook his head as "rejected".

"Tiara, do you know what your situation is? Even though I want to keep it locked in my room so that it doesn't touch His Majesty's eyes."

"... Huh!

"Yet you can't get close to yourself."

Needless to say, Aquasteed's face approaches Tiara Rose's eyes. At a distance my lips are likely to touch, I breathe unintentionally.

"I can't allow it, okay?

"Ha, yes... Huh!

Tiara Rose can only snort desperately at the words of Aquasteed, who was told so with her eyes narrowed.

I'm thrilled, and I'm actually glad you said that about yourself... Tiara Rose is determined to make it right this time.

I've always acted alone, so I've been worried about Aquasteed.

"But... if you keep it up, won't it be too late to solve it? Sandrose is a big country, so I think it's a good idea to help and sell thanks..."

"Well, I do have that... but I'll think about it later. That Tiara is a big man."

"Yes...... ugh!

Aquasteed seems to have a good idea too...... yes Tiara Rose was just convinced and her lips touched it.

"Oh, oh, dear Aqua!? Here, all of a sudden... Huh!!"

In the clerk's office, even though everyone else is here! Aquasteed chuckles as Tiara Rose raves her voice like that.

And I looked indoors, and I said, "Really?," he says.

"Because - no one!?"

"Elliot went out in a separate meeting, and Philine stepped back, and Miss Isira went to the fairy to talk to her."

Aquasteed says the Elliotts must have distracted her lately, as Saravia came by during the day and didn't have much time for the two of us to slow down.

Sure, I thought that was Tiara Rose too, but I don't think it was in the middle of an important story!? But it's also not something that I can conclude by discussing any more than that.

Tiara Rose leans sweetly against Aquasteed's shoulder as she frowns.

"Then don't hesitate to sweeten it! It's hard for me to deal with His Majesty Saravia."

It's seen favorably, and I'm the emperor of Sandrose, and I'm very concerned about one response at a time. How many times, come on! And that you wanted to yell at me?

Looking at Tiara Rose like that, Aquasteed said, "Shall we kick him out?," he says.

"Eh."

"Sure, I'm the emperor of Sandrose, but I'm not going to allow Tiara to like it as much as it offends me. Marine Forest is no better than Sandrose."

I don't know if Aquasteed's words are serious again.

- Because it's going to happen.

Or if you've got any more tears or escalations on Tiara Rose... I think you're going to do it for real.

- I'm so glad you said that, though.

"I know you care about me, but not if you involve the country"

"... that sounds like a tiara answer. I know, I'll protect Tiara, so no problem. But if you feel something is happening or you don't like it, say it right."

"Yes."

Aquasteed told me to protect it, so it's bound to happen. I feel safe and I don't feel uneasy about fine dust.

I'm sure Aquasteed will protect this country and himself this way.

- I want to do my best to support Master Aqua like that next door all the time.

With that in mind, Tiara Rose gently held Aquasteed's hand.
