124 4. Tiara Rose's brother

The day after returning home, Tiara Rose was finally to face the adopted child. I wait every now and then with Aquasteed for Schnaus to bring me in.

"... Tiara, your expression is getting harder."

"Ah! If I did... I'd get nervous. You're going to be my sister, but you can't."

Tiara Rose laughs bitterly as Aquasteed clings to her cheek.

I am somewhat anxious that I will be able to get along with the children who are going to be my brother-in-law. I don't know what I would do if I didn't get a very good impression.

Though, as a Tiara Rose, I'm also trying to spoil you with a lot of friendship.

"I hope every day is fun for Tiara's brother."

"Really?

"Because I'm happy with Tiara every day"

"... again, that's what I'm saying..."

I wonder if Tiara Rose's mouth is made of sugar while wrapping her hot cheeks with both hands.

A knock sounds in the room on the lid, and Tiara Rose corrects her posture hah. "Go ahead," he says, encouraging him to enter the room, I see Schnaus and the child behind him.

- Wow, beautiful girl...

The boy, more transparent than expected, shows up and is unintentionally breathtaking.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No, Father, please introduce my brother-in-law"

"Oh. Come on, it's your sister Tiara Rose. Say hello."

When Schnaus gently pressed the child's back, he came out in front of Tiara Rose and Aquasteed. Though I tended to lean a little, I took a quick look at this one before bowing.

"Nice to meet you, Darrell. Thank you very much."

Darrell Lapis Klamentir, who became Tiararose's brother-in-law.

He was six years old, a beautiful boy with light watery hair and blue eyes. White based outfit with black knee-length trousers. Ribbons are tied around the neck.

I blinked a few times, but his expression like a doll didn't move. As soon as I said hello, I leaned down, so maybe I'm familiar with people.

Tiara Rose slowly goes forward and crouches to get the same gaze so as not to scare Darrell.

"Nice to meet you, Darrell. I am Tiara Rose. Can you call me Tiara, please?

".................. Yes. Sister Tiara."

Tiara Rose breathes relief when she sees Darrell snort. Apparently, I've never been hated.

Next, Aquasteed greets Kneeling Darrell in the same way.

"I'm Aquasteed Marine Forest. Tiara's husband, king of Marine Forest."

"It's an honor to meet you. Thank you very much."

To Aquasteed's greeting, Darrell bows back politely.

It's still an unstoppable move, but Tiara Rose and Aquasteed thought I must be nervous.

Sit on the couch and have tea prepared.

Tiara Rose groans about what to talk to Darrell, but suddenly worries her head that it's not a good idea to keep asking questions and scaring her.

"I'm relieved to have greeted you safely. Darrell, it's great to have a proper greeting."

"Yes."

When Schnaus stroked his head and praised him, Darrell, who was faceless, smiled slightly. Seeing that, Tiara Rose is relieved that Darrell seems to be opening his heart to Schnaus.

I hadn't heard how he was adopted, but I guess he has a proper relationship as a parent and child.

"Darrell, I can't stay that long, but let's go out and play a lot."

"... Yes. Thank you."

Darrell nodded at Tiara Rose's words, but her face had returned to her faceless expression at the beginning of her entry.

- Could you have asked me out all of a sudden?

As Tiara Rose slowly drops her shoulders, Aquasteed opens her mouth to follow it.

"I'll be Darrell's brother-in-law... Same guy, you can always count on me if you need anything. Although I have a very dependable father-in-law nearby"

To say that and laugh, Darrell just nodded the same way he did when Tiara Rose. Nevertheless, I don't do anything to force you to pack the distance.

Tiara Rose thinks about getting along a little bit. I've just been adopted and I'm probably just getting used to this house all the time.

"Yes, does Darrell have anything he likes? I like sweets. I'm also good at making them, so I'm going to make some cakes for Darrell too... do you like sweets?

In that case, when it's a sweet topic, Tiara Rose recollects herself and smiles and talks.

Darrell glanced into his eyes and tilted his neck. Apparently, you're thinking of replying to Tiara Rose.

After a moment of silence, Darrell nodded. Apparently, sweets and sweets fall into my favorite category.

Tiara Rose is relieved.

- Great, you can enjoy the sweets together!

What a bunch of things I thought. Darrell caught a glimpse of Schnaus and got up off the couch.

And I bowed deeply as it was, and I walked out of the room.

"........................... Huh?

Tiara Rose trembles wondering if she could have talked about Sweets.

"Oh, I'm fine, Tiara. Darrell's just not used to it yet, I'm sure he just doesn't know how to deal with it"

"Perhaps so..."

"... Could it be Darrell's origins or something for a reason?

Still where Tiara Rose thought she was lonely, Aquasteed saw Schnaus.

Exactly, he seemed to think it was strange that he adopted the son of a nobleman. Schnaus takes a big breath and sees Tiara Rose and Aquasteed.

"Your Majesty Aquasteed has a vision."

To Schnaus's words, Tiara Rose also asked, "What do you mean?," he frowned.

I thought he had exactly welcomed every three or four men of some nobility into adoption. But that doesn't seem like it when you look at Schnaus.

But if not, who?

Think so, Tiara Rose may open her eyes.

- No way, royalty that was hidden from existence!?

Abandoned right after birth, raised as a commoner - what a really maiden game-like story. Rather, it's a setting with a high probability of coming out.

Tiara Rose is absolutely certain. I'm sure Schnaus will explain it to you from now on, but it looks like you can hear it without surprise.

Tiara Rose slows her breathing down.

"Father, tell me about Darrell"

"... oh, of course"

Schnaus nodded and slowly began to talk.

"Darrell is apparently a wizard's apprentice"

"... Huh?

Tiara Rose, who thought she was an abandoned royalty, looks at Schnaus in a pompous manner. but the story of Schnaus continued.

Retrospective, a few months ago.

Schnaus was taking Irtiana out to a flower garden in the suburbs. The two who are still lovely are not uncommon to go out like this on holiday.

"Master Schnaus, there are very beautiful flowers here."

"Mmm, that's good stuff. This is like the color of Iltiana, that's like the color of Tiara over there."

"Well, Master Schnauz."

Iltiana laughs when she sees Schnaus in a good mood.

As they sat near the flower garden and enjoyed their tea, they heard something barking from afar.

"What...?

"Irtiana, behind me. Find out what's going on right now."

Schnaus stands up to shelter Irtiana and asks his squire to check the status quo. The knight of the escort is with us, so there will be no danger unless there is something like it......

"Dear Schnaus..."

To the anxious Irtiana voice, Schnaus smiles and looks like he's okay.

"It must be a dog or something. But wild dogs are dangerous, so let's wait in the carriage just in case."

"... Yes"

"What, the knight will deal with it right away. Don't be so anxious - eh, Iltiana!!"

made a loud noise from behind the stirrups, and Schnaus hugs Irtiana in an aggressive manner. At that moment, a wolf popped up towards us.

"Gawwwww!"

"Ugh... Huh,!

"Khaaaa! Dear Schnaus!!"

The shelter of Irtiana caused the wolf's fangs to strike Schnaus. I just got my right arm bitten by a wolf, and blood runs.

"Somebody, Master Schnaus... Huh!

"Dear Schnaus, Dear Iltiana!!"

The knight of the escort, who has rushed quickly, defeats the wolf with his sword. It was a short time ago, but Iltiana has too many things going on to keep her from thinking.

More than that, more than anything...

"Dear Schnaus!!"

I raise my voice that I must immediately help my own husband, who is bleeding and suffering. Not if you're scolding the escort knight who was too late to come and help you now.

"... it's okay, Iltiana. He just bit me, it's not that important. More than that, I'm glad you're not hurt."

"Please take care of yourself more, Master Schnaus..."

"Hey, you're my treasure. It's natural to protect it."

I look at Schnaus smiling gently and relieve him that for one second there doesn't seem to be anything else in his life. Nevertheless, if I keep cheering, it gets worse.

"Bring me a doctor, quick!

"Shh, soon..."

The moment the escort knight turned back about to run out, Sole appeared in sight.

"Are you hurt?

It was Darrell who showed up then.

Schnaus moisturizes his throat with tea and continues.

"No, I was really surprised then. Darrell used healing magic to heal my arm injury."

"Darrell has that power...?

"Surprised..."

Healing magic is very difficult and unusual for people to use. Although Akali can use healing magic as a prayer for the Virgin, there will be only a few hundred people in the country except for that. Plus, a few people say it's a level that can be completely cured... etc.

"We invited Darrell to the Mansion to thank him for his curative magic."

"You were..."

"I just didn't know what the hell Darrell was like"

I don't know how much Darrell's identity I look into, and he doesn't really talk about himself either. Schnaus and Iltiana said they must have thought that he had lived to the fullest while being an orphan.

Then she tried living with me for a while and adopted me because I had a small mouth count but a kind child with a heart.

"But healing magic skills are amazing, so we're talking about whether he was a wizard's apprentice, not an orphan. I think it might make me feel a little bit easier over there, and I try to feel that way while Darrell doesn't say anything."

"Your father doesn't know much about Darrell, either."

"Yeah, but I know you're a good kid, so I'm going to slow down my distance as a parent and child."

That's what I said. Schnaus already looked like Darrell's father.
