111 6. Just one direct line

"Oh, I want to see Master Aqua!

"Dear Tiara Rose, do not fall asleep in that appearance"

"Ah... right. Sorry, Philine."

A voice of caution flew in from Filine as Tiara Rose dived back to her bedroom after the feast. The desert dress becomes wrinkled even though it washes.

Tiara Rose sits on the sleeping table and breathes.

"I know you want to see me, but I'm sure His Majesty Aquasteed is on his way here, too"

"Right.... I was surprised that Aqua would go with a horse instead of a carriage to shorten the itinerary."

Although I desperately stopped because of course I don't want you to be so impotent.

"It's proof that you're loved, Dear Tiara Rose. Do you want to change?

"... because of this, maybe we should just stay like this for a bit longer. Although highly exposed, I've never had a desert dress before, so it's fresh."

"I would also like to show His Majesty the Aquasteed."

"... that could be a little embarrassing"

To Filine's words, Tiara Rose smiles bitterly as she illuminates.

If those golden eyes saw me seriously, what would happen? Definitely turning bright red with shame, Tiara Rose swells her cheeks.

There's nothing wrong with wearing it in public, such as a feast, but in front of someone I like, I really think of it that way.

Having seen Tiara Rose like that, Filine thinks she definitely needs to make an opportunity for Aquasteed she couldn't see. Don't tell Tiara Rose about that, of course.

"I'll check on the hot tub."

"Yeah, please."

Dropping Philine out of the room, Tiara Rose leaves for the balcony.

The room provided is on the third floor, and the view is great sometimes because of the full starry sky now. You can admire the gardens and streets of Sandrose's palace.

The air at night is a little chilly, but not enough to go back and get my jacket.

And then, I remember the words Saravia said earlier.

- Does Salamander exist?

I didn't think you'd tell me that much, so I accidentally laughed from Tiara Rose.

"I want to see you, but you can't let me get involved. We have to be patient."

Saying so, relaxing and enjoying the night view, I saw blonde hair in a corner of my sight. Apparently, Saravia's in the garden.

Tiara Rose tilts her neck wondering what the hell she's doing at this hour.

As I followed Saravia with my gaze, I stepped to the waterfront. And keep walking down to the statue of the goddess set in the center.

The statue of the goddess is a bit of a different brown color, so it was probably made from desert ore. He wraps cloth around beautiful limbs and prays for the earth.

"... what are you doing?

Maybe drunk? Yeah. Even if Tiara Rose gets caught, there's no choice. Surely he must have been drinking quite a bit of wine.

"Maybe I should tell someone...... But Philine's taking it off."

Uh-huh. Troubled, Saravia's hand touched the statue of the goddess.

Then, in light red, the statue of the goddess shines. Glow in the dark world It is so mysterious, as if it were a miracle brought about by a goddess.

"Huh?"

Tiara Rose blinks her eyes and looks seriously at Saravia and the statue of the goddess. He thought he was drunk was a total mistake.

Isn't that, yes - a ritual?

"Awaken Master Salamander...... no, something to make him sleep again?

Tiara Rose shook her head at her thoughts and denied that she would not need to be forced to wake up. Given the spirit of this festival, I thought you were doing something for Salamander.

- But even though we still have a few days until the festival.

"............ hmm?

When Tiara Rose was still asking about Saravia, her body fluttered and swayed.

"Your Majesty Saravia...... Huh!?"

And as it were, Saravia collapsed with a proper splash.

He seemed barely conscious and tried to get up... but he sat back in the water and relaxed. It doesn't look like a strange situation whenever you lose your mind.

"... Huh! No, not right away."

As Tiara Rose rushes out of the room, Tarmo, who was escorting him in front of the door, gets a little.

I'm a little impotent, but I don't know what kind of a ladylike husband is panicking about from time to time. Tarmo first tried to open his mouth to ask what was going on, but immediately said, "I'm in a hurry!" and wandered at Tiara Rose's temper, roughing her voice.

But that's why you can't let your husband act without asking why. I wish it was Marine Forest, but this is another country.

"But Dear Tiara Rose -"

"Fine, I'll follow you. You stay right here."

"...... Huh!?"

Talmo tried to advance, but was immediately grabbed by the shoulder from behind.

"Oh, Master Keith!?"

"You don't know that my princess is an adult."

Keith chuckles as he looks behind Tiara Rose, who rushes down the hallway. And slowly, I chased after her.

The light that comes from the palace, and the moonlight.

I wonder why you feel slightly brighter when there should only be those two. My skin is cold as ice because of the clothes that got soaked up with water.

Saravia fell asleep to the water as she sat down and became a billionaire. Fortunately, it is shallow made, and it will not drown.

"... go, Your Majesty!

"Oh... Rose"

I noticed a voice I heard from afar, and I think it should feel swollen and bright. Everywhere she is, it's warm and full of light.

"Sire Saravia, are you all right!?"

"I can't believe they saw me dressed badly..."

"What are you talking about! I'll be in my room in a minute!

If you're not kidding, Tiara Rose takes a sip of Saravia.

I may touch my cold skin and get frostbite even as it is. I thought I needed hot water ready right away, and I tried to speak to a servant or a side that would be around me...

"... why is there no one here when it's a palace"

"Because I paid for it? Then I guess I don't want people to call me because I can't be seen like this"

"Huh? But in this situation..."

It doesn't look like Saravia can walk, so I have to carry it to someone. But when you don't call people, you can't help but move.

- What should I do?

That's what Saravia was doing until she paid for it, so I guess it was pretty important. You can't call people in the presence of Tiara Rose because they seem sick after falling over it.

Because I might waste everything he was doing.

"I'll carry you. We're moving."

"Keith!"

Sighing at him, he takes up Saravia, where Keith was falling.

"Have you forgotten all those unscrupulous things?

"This is not unscrupulous, it's natural!? Because if people fall in front of you, you have to go help them"

"Yes, sir."

When Tiara Rose tells her it's natural, Keith just walks out. Saravia is groaning painfully, but I don't mind that.

"Already, Keith... But thanks."

My mouth told me something I wish I hadn't helped, but this is how Keith came after me and took care of Saravia.

Hearing the words of thanks, Keith replies only one word "oops" and raises his hand.

"Let's go. Sure looks like they're ready to take a bath, so you can throw it in there."

"Huh!? Exactly to His Majesty the Emperor. That's abusive..."

"I'm the fairy king, aren't I?

"Ah, yes..."

Tiara Rose rushes to stop Keith, but it won't come true if they argue he's the Fairy King. It is generally assumed that fairy kings are higher than kings of one country.

From the garden into the palace, it came as far as the baths that Filine had prepared for Tiara Rose.

Hot water keeps your body warm even if you're just in the bathroom. Saravia took a small breath, too.

But more than anything else, Philine, who was in the bathroom, gave a voice that was surprised and not close to screaming.

"-!? What the hell... Huh! Your Majesty Saravia!? Shh, I need a doctor right away...... Huh!!"

"Wait, Filine. For now, I want you to keep this a secret."

"What!?"

At the same time Philine went under Tiara Rose and rushed to propose, the sound of Dobble and a huge splash rose. Looks like Keith really threw Saravia in the hot tub.

"Gee ho, ho... ha"

"You're so weak. You have less magic, you're so impotent."

"Ha, ha... was it foresight"

Answer Keith's words with a grin that Saravia mocked herself for sitting in the hot tub.

Apparently, Keith knows what Saravia was up to. Tiara Rose doesn't know, but let Philine down for a second.

There's no way a Marine Forest person could inadvertently know what it was about because Saravia had gone without even telling Sandrose's face.

- Or should I leave the room, too?

Tiara Rose thinks that the chilled Saravia should stay in the bath like this.

So I thought I'd sneak out of the room, but there's still a voice waiting for me from Saravia.

"Hey kitty, isn't it awful to leave me alone?

"... because isn't your Majesty Salavia soaking wet? I was wondering if you should take a break for a while."

"But let me just say thank you, okay?

Saravia still seems tired, but she has a slightly better complexion than earlier.

Tiara Rose nodded bitterly, saying it was indeed rude to leave the room without telling her anything.

"Thank you first. Thank you, thank you very much. Exactly like that, you could have frozen to death. Thank you for your time, Keith."

"I'm really glad you're okay."

"I was just following Tiara instead of the escort."

For a moment, Tiara Rose asks Saravia if she can listen.

"So what the hell were you doing?

…………

But Saravia just smiles and doesn't respond.

- What don't you want me to ask you?

I'll tilt my neck really hard and see Keith who seems to know exactly why.... and it seemed irrelevant to me.

Totally Keith thinks... but what he said earlier about using too much magic caught me.

- Could it have been that you were giving the Salamander magic?

Tiara Rose thought so, although it might be simple. The act of giving magic to others is an iron plate development in the game.

Besides, the timing is just right.

Keith referred to Saravia as' less magical '.

"Maybe... not enough magic to give Master Salamander?

"-! What, you see anything for kittens"

"Oh, it was just an anticipation... was it a hit?!?"

"Like, predictions. So I dug a grave."

I can't believe you honestly answered Tiara Rose's resulting whine when you said you were the Emperor of Sandrose. Saravia nods when she is still too tired of consuming magic.

But more than Saravia, Tiara Rose is upset this time.

- Yeah, is it okay that you don't have enough magic?

I wonder if it's pretty important, my anxiety grows in Tiara Rose. According to Crayle and the others, you said the past was handled by the Sandrose royalty with no problems.

- Oh, well.

Because of Saravia's low magic power, we cannot secure the amount of magic we have to give Salamander. If that's the case, I can explain that Saravia's collapse now... is also due to the use of too much magic, and Keith was right.

"That, it seems to me, is there anyone besides His Majesty Salavia who can give the Salamander magic?

"... unfortunately, I'm not here. Only a person with the right wavelength can give magic. Sandrose is just a direct royalty."

"Oh no..."

Tiara Rose frowns at the air that there is nothing she can do.

And what I recall is the history of Sandrose.

This country has been polygamous since its founding and is now known as a paedophile power. Tiara Rose thought lightly about it, I don't like people who have more than one wife because I want to be alone...

- But if I look at His Majesty Saravia now, I know exactly why.

Isn't it possible that polygamy was made in order to ensure a certain number of direct royalty?

That's because we need people to give us magic when the salamander wakes up. Perhaps the salamander who woke up in history fell asleep again, endowed with magic by several royalties.

But now what?

Isn't Saravia the only royalty capable of giving magic?

His parents are already in the other world, and he has no brothers. There is only one direct royal family now, Saravia.

Though I said it was challenging...... what if there was really a reason for that? I have denied my duty as a royal of Saravia.

Tiara Rose grips her fist for a long time and shames herself for thinking cheaply.

Can't you help me somehow?

When I thought so, fuh-- the words Saravia told me come back to my brain.

"A fairy-loved princess is loved by spirits, too."

In a moment, I felt like I understood.

Tiara Rose takes a small, deep breath and stares at Saravia.

"Then let me dedicate my magic to the Salamander. I'm sure my magic will match the wavelength with the salamander.... is it not?

"... no, it's not. Really, don't come to Kitten. I don't know what to expect."

That's what I say, Saravia laughs.

"Thank you. Kitten...... No, Tiara Rose"

"Yes."

Really, I guess Saravia couldn't help herself. I bowed my head softly and thanked Tiara Rose for her offer.

"It is said that the jewel that I gave comes from the tears of Salamander"

"Is this it?

"Yes."

Tiara Rose sees a glowing gem on her chest, and I didn't know it was worth that much...... and blues for having it.

"It's brighter and more beautiful than before, isn't it? That's because the kitten's magic wavelength fits with the salamander and builds up a little magic on that gem."

"That's what this gem meant..."

- Hmm?

This means that from the beginning, it was determined whether Tiara Rose's magic wavelength would fit the salamander.

- Could it be that you came to Marine Forest for this?

Saravia's sincerity, which is usually challenging, is very difficult to understand - and Tiara Rose thought again.
