125 5. Healing Power

After greeting Darrell, Tiara Rose returned to her room with Aquasteed.

Immediately Filine brewed me some tea, so I decided to relax on the couch.

"Phew..."

Sit deep down on the couch, thinking you might be a little bit behaving. Then Aquasteed, sitting next to him, hugged him about Tiara Rose.

"Tiara, are you okay? Maybe he was tired on the road."

"Wow, thank you. I think I'm used to riding in carriages, but it was a long journey."

Although I may behave a little badly, it's been a long time since my parents decided that if Aquasteed next door was going to spoil me...... I'd get sloppy.

Leaning on Aquasteed, I feel very relieved.

Philine also looks worried and sees Tiara Rose.

"Would you like to call a doctor?

"You don't have to go that far, Philine. 'Cause I think it'll be better if we take a little break."

"... ok. But if you need anything, please tell me right away, right? I will arrange a doctor even at midnight!

Philine stabs me in the nail when I absolutely can't force you to make it worse.

"Then I beg your pardon once. If you need anything, call me right away"

"Yes. Thank you, Philine"

As Filine leaves the room, Aquasteed peeks into Tiara Rose's face with a pranky grin.

"Dear Aqua?

"I work too hard, so sometimes it's important to slow down like this. Why don't you lay down?

Aquasteed makes it easy for me to knee-pillow Tiara Rose.

"Awww."

"Look, close your eyes and take a deep breath. It'll calm you down, won't it?

"... Yes"

He shrugs his forehead with his fingers and strokes his head to calm him down. Tiara Rose thinks if they do this to me, they'll let me melt them down.

- But it's comfortable...

Close your eyes slowly, wanting you to stroke more.

"... Aqua-sama's hand, it's cold and pleasant"

"I have a slight fever......? Maybe I'm done greeting Darrell and I'm relieved."

"Perhaps so. But... I'm surprised. I just thought I'd taken a son from some nobleman."

Tiara Rose wondered that it was a little reckless behavior for her father. However, although Darrell, whom I spoke earlier, did feel very calm and good.

That seemed to be the same for Aquasteed.

"If you succeed, it is common to have children of relatives. Maybe there's some other reason."

"Perhaps so. I'm going to talk a lot about getting to know Darrell better during my stay."

If you grow up fine like this, you're sure to be a Lapis Lazuli executive. At that time, I want it to be a pattern while I can smoothly conduct diplomacy with Marine Forest.

Thinking about it, I'm looking forward to Darrell's growth now.

"Then we need to get better first. Because if you stay ill, you'll worry about Darrell."

"Yes. It's just... I don't have any appetite, or maybe I'm tired. You may not have much dinner either......"

Maybe they got buttered by changes in temperatures, etc.

"... Ha, shouldn't I make sweets for when I couldn't have dinner!?"

When Tiara Rose says she's going to be able to eat it for now, Aquasteed laughs "here" bitterly.

"... it's a joke"

"You have to eat the staple food properly. But if you're energetic enough to say that, I'm a little relieved, too."

Aquasteed chuckled, so Tiara Rose was also put on and smiled. The time to relax like this is precious without worrying about your job.

- Something that really bothers me about time when I have a job for Master Aqua.

So I'm actually very, very happy to be able to be alone without worrying about Aquasteed's time.

Therefore, the knee pillow was also relatively able to accept very well. Tiara Rose also wanted to be sweet because she was tired.

- Ugh, my face is going to burn...!

If you hide your face with your bare hands, you will immediately hear a murky "tiara" coming down from Aquasteed.

"Here, then I can't see your face"

"Don't be ashamed of yourself..."

It melts. That's what I thought, and the sound of a concon and a knock sounded in the room to inform the visitors.

"Oh?"

"Shall I deal with it? Tiara, stay seated."

"... excuse me. Thank you, Master Aqua."

Watching Aquasteed head to the door, Tiara Rose sits back on the couch properly. Filine can stay put, but there is also the possibility that parents and other servants...

- If they saw a knee pillow, they'd be embarrassed to look at each other...!

I heard Aquasteed talking and came back inside the room. When I saw it, it was Darrell who visited me.

"Sorry to interrupt all of a sudden..."

Darrell seems restless and twitchy. Aquasteed tried to advance the couch, but continued the words before it.

"... Dear Sister Tiara, your stomach... are you okay?

"Huh?"

Two Tiara Rose and Aquasteed raise their voices to the content cared for by the lid. Sure, I'm tired and have slight fever, but it doesn't mean I'm not feeling well in my stomach.

- Darrell was worried about me and you came to see how it went.

Its kindness makes my heart warm.

"Thank you, Darrell. I'm not that sick, so I'm fine. I can't believe you're worried about my sister."

I was actually going to be the sister I could count on, but I got worried from the run out. I'll just have to salvage this in the sweets when I get better.

"... Really?"

Darrell breathed in relief and smiled.

"Let's get some tea ready right away. Darrell, please go to the couch."

"Yes."

When Darrell sat on the couch, Aquasteed prepared himself a cup of tea.

"Dear Aqua, I..."

"No, you can't. Tiara needs to slow down a little bit.... well, it's going to be inferior to Tiara's brewed tea"

Aquasteed laughs when she's sorry in that regard.

"That's not true, Master Aqua. I'm so glad."

"Really? I'm glad you're here. Above all."

Aquasteed put the tea in front of Darrell and sat back next to Tiara Rose.

"I wanted to talk to Darrell a lot during my stay. Could it have been your life here? There will be a lot of hard times, but your father thinks about Darrell properly, so if you need anything, talk to him right away."

"... Yes. I know what you're getting better at."

Darrell nods and stares at Tiara Rose.

"Sister Tiara was told she was the queen of neighboring Marine Forest. That's why I missed you so much."

"If you father..."

Tiara Rose and Aquasteed laugh bitterly when their daughter is in love with education. The look of Schnaus, who seems lonely, immediately comes to my attention.

"We can't leave the country too often, so it's hard to go home often."

"Yes, that's what your father said too"

I don't know if I could be more free as an aquasteed... but I can't create opportunities for you to meet so often because the country is different and at different distances.

Nevertheless, Tiara Rose appreciates that she has responded adequately.

"It'll still be difficult now, but Darrell should also come to Marine Forest once he's older. Some things are different from Lapis Lazuli, and I can spread the word."

"Yes. At that time, your father will take you with him"

"That's good."

Darrell seems to have a good son, also thinking about his daughter Love Schnaus.

Aquasteed thinks it might work, though he thought it was still an unwieldy parent-child relationship.

".................. ha fu"

"Tiara?"

"Tiara, your sister?

Aquasteed and Darrell talking gave me a spicy exhale from Tiara Rose. When I see it, my cheeks are slightly redder than they were earlier.

"Maybe you've got a fever..."

Touch Tiara Rose's forehead and Aquasteed measures its heat.

"... you're hotter than just now. Tell Filine I'll have her arrange a doctor right away. Darrell, I'm gonna take a few seats off, so I'm gonna stay with Tiara. - Darrell?

Darrell got up off the couch and came in front of Tiara Rose whether she heard Aquasteed or not.

Darrell, I'm fine.

Tiara Rose asks Darrell to leave if she has a cold. But Darrell shook his head sideways.

"After all, it looks painful..."

You said you couldn't be okay earlier, right? And Darrell looks lonely. But it wasn't really that hard earlier.

Darrell took Tiara Rose's hand and closed her eyes.

"Darrell?"

"What the hell..."

Darrell's body glowed pale as Tiara Rose called her name and thought about what Aquasteed would do. Gentle, watery light.

"This is..."

What Darrell used was the healing power that Schnaus was talking about.

A gentle light passes through Darrell to Tiara Rose, and her body warms up. My breathing, which was hard, quickly calmed down and my body is lightening up.

Tiara Rose was surprised that she seemed ill more than she thought.

"So this is Darrell's power... wow. Something that makes me sick no longer look like a lie. Thanks, Darrell."

Darrell nodded small as Tiara Rose thanked her.

"I was asking the Marquis earlier, but that's an amazing power... Thanks for helping Tiara, Darrell."

"... Yes"

When Aquasteed is equally thankful, Darrell laughs happily.

"Tiara, she's happy because your sister's feeling better."

"That kid?"

Tiara Rose and Aquasteed tilt their necks at Darrell's words like pretending.

The only people in this room are Tiara Rose and Aquasteed. I'll look behind you just in case, but there's nobody else.

Then Darrell pointed to Tiara Rose's stomach.

"Because I was worried that I was not feeling well and that my sister Tiara was not feeling well..."

"What is this place..."

Tiara Rose looks at her own stomach and gently attaches her hand.

If what Darrell says is true, it will mean she is pregnant with a child with Aquasteed.

I take a deep breath to calm down, but I do recall wondering if the moon thing is lagging behind.

- I just thought it was because of my busy schedule and my long carriage journey.

Sometimes, it beats faster.

When I saw Aquasteed right next door, I was holding my mouth. Breathtaking, I found my eyebrows swaying with joy.

"Dear Aqua, I..."

"I'll get a doctor right away! Tiara must remain still. Like?"

"Ha, yes... Huh!

Aquasteed dropped him off from the room and Tiara Rose thanked Darrell again.
