164 14. Breath of new flames

After the fire of the Fire Spirit returned, the Tiararoses came to the Ore Castle.That's why Gnome gave me a party to thank me.

The city dwarfs are back - no, they're using Salamander's tears to watch the fire of the flaming Spirit, which has become even more beautiful.

Meanwhile, Tiararose and Acari watched Lucia Rose play on the balcony.

Hmm ~!

"Wow, that's so powerful...!!"

Lucia Arrows is riding on a stone statue of a lion.It was made by Gnome, and it's precise enough to keep moving.

Acari raised her tension and said, "I want you too!"

But Tiararose is worried that "because it's a stone statue, it's hard to hit my head..."

"It's okay, I'm watching it while I'm playing."

"... that's right.If only we could protect Lucia from having fun. "

Tiararose thinks he should be careful not to say anything wrong for a reason.

While watching Lucia Arrows play with the stone statue of the lion, Tiararose remembers Aquastead and Keith who are not here.

They're talking to Gnome right now.That's true, this case cannot go unpunished.

--When I think about Norm, I don't want him to be punished too severely....

However, there is no indication.

Lucia Arrows is the princess of the Marine Forest and the number one successor to the throne.Of course, that's not all.It is only natural to be angry because she is our dear daughter.

--Nevertheless.

"I wish it were peaceful."

After playing on the balcony for a while, a stone statue of the lion riding Lucia Arrows came out.

Kyaa

Looking at the funny laughter, Lucia Rose must be moving the statue herself.

I thought the only thing that worked with magic was stuffed animals... but I was impressed by the growth of children.

--Yes, but I've floated my bed before.

"Wow! Lucia is so cool!I want to ride a lion too ~ "

"Akari-sama is a little..."

Tiararose thinks that if a moving lion crosses the acari, it will go anywhere on it.

And it's easy to imagine where the people around you are exhausted.

The lion walks gently with Lucia Rose on his back.I was wondering if I would keep going around the balcony, but I went indoor- to the party venue.

There are invited dwarves at the party and they are having fun chatting.Apparently, the dwarves are standing like nobles in what we call humans.

When Lucia Arrows showed up on the lion, the dwarves cheered and came here.

"You are the princess who revived the fire of the Spirit of Fire!

"Did Norm make that stone statue lion...?It's so nice!

"Thank you, the fire in Ellie Kingdom has come back to life!

"Long live Lucia Rose!

The dwarves thanked each other and honored Lucia Rose.I can see how important the fire of the Spirit of Fire was to the dwarves.

Looking at Lucia Rose, who has become so popular, the acari laughs happily, "Wow!"

"Lucia certainly had a lot of trouble with the gnomes, but she's a hero to the dwarves."

I could also use the magic of Lucia Arrows' runaway, and I could say that I should have seen the results alone.

"Besides, it would be more fun to have an event like this!

"It's just Acari-sama!

Don't do it together, Tiararose immediately disagrees.Sure you can enjoy it as a game lover, but not as a mother.

Tiararose sighed and said, "I'm glad you're safe."

Ah?

"Nothing.Lucia likes this lion. "

"Ahhh!"

Lucia Arrows smiles and slaps the lion.

--This is going to burn your father's rivalry.

Tiararose laughs bitterly when she finds out that a lot of stuffed toys are about to be presented.

"When you get a little older, you can ride this lion anywhere."

"Don't say such horrible things....."

A princess riding a lion and going anywhere is no big deal.Imagine a guard knight chasing after him with a horse, and Tiararose shook his head.

When I was having such a chat, the entrance sighed.

The Aquastead, Keith, and Gnome seem to have finished the discussion and are showing up at the venue to attract attention.

The discussion seemed to have ended successfully, and Tiararose gently stroked her chest.

Aquastead, who immediately noticed Tiararose, came to us.

"Nothing happened while I was away?

"Yes, but Lucia has come to the fore."

That's how they see Lucia Arrows surrounded by dwarves.The dwarves are all friendly and Lucia Rose seems happy.

We don't have time to talk, Aqua, Tiara.

Keith!

The incoming Keith showed the gnome waiting in his jaw.

There will be greetings, so Tiararose, Aquastead, and Keith will be present.

I thought you said that the Aqua Steed had decided to report the punishment...

--I don't know the contents, do I?

However, Tiararose, as queen, intends to follow Aquastead's decision.

Give me your hand, Tiara.

"... yes"

Take an Aquastead escort and climb up to the stage.After that, Lucia Rose and the acari on the lion also followed.

The gnome who welcomed me lowered his head deeply into the teardrops and Lucia Arrows.The dwarves in the venue where I saw it stopped.

"... Lucia Rose, Tiararose.I was totally sorry about this incident.I only thought about us. "

Norm's apology calmed him down.

Some people know how it happened, such as a maid dwarf who worked at the Ore Castle, but they don't know that the usual dwarves were kidnapped by Lucia Arrows.

"I... really don't like to rely on someone or consult with them...That's all I wanted to do, everything I could... "

In that case, it is Silf who scolds Gnome the most.

Remembering Sylf's face, I regret once again that I did something terrible.But when it's over, there's no going back.

Slowly, the eyes of a gnome that can't be seen hiding in your hair become hot.

"I wanted to kidnap Lucia Arrows and revive the fire of the Fire Spirit..."

Gnome's confession made me more uneasy.

I can't believe they were so important without us knowing.

The dwarves gaze at what happened to them.But the answer doesn't come out right away.

Because the dwarves know how important the fire of the flame spirit is to the blacksmiths themselves - to the gnomes.

"... as a result, the fire of the Fire Spirit was revived by the power of Lucia Arrows.But it was thanks to Lucia Rose, Aquastead... His Majesty Aquastead, Her Highness the Queen Tiararose, and Her Majesty the Fairy King of the Forest Keith. "

Norm stood in front of Aquastead and now folds his hips deeply.

"Ellie vows here to support the kingdom of Marine Forest with the fire of the Spirit of Fire."

"I received that sincerity.Marine Forest takes care of the bond with the Kingdom of Ellie. "

Everyone lost their words to the unexpected gnome's declaration, but a little applause was heard in the venue.

It grew bigger and bigger, and applauded all over the Kingdom of Ellie.

After the party, Tiararose and Aquastead were able to settle down in the guest room of the Ore Castle.

Lucia Rose is tired of sleeping in bed because she plays a lot.

"... I wondered what would happen, but I'm glad it's over.And the magic of Lucia has calmed down. "

"That's right. That's the best harvest..."

Aquastead sits deeply on the sofa and breathes.Although the results were good, the fact that Lucia Arrows was captured does not disappear.

When we get back to Marine Forest, we have to review our security, but it will be difficult to deal with the Spirit.

When I get back, there's plenty of work to do.

Tiararose wondered what to do to Aquastead, who was visibly tired.

--I want to help too.

But there aren't so many tear roses that can be done.I don't know about the security aspects of Tiararose, and on the contrary, it seems to cause trouble.

Tiararose said, "What's wrong?I was worried.

"... I wanted to help Aqua, who is tired, but I wondered if there was anything I could do."

"I always get help from Tiara."

That said, Aquastead leaned against the shoulders of Tiararose.Dark blue hair on my cheeks and I feel a little ticklish.

"Aqua...."

"Only Tiara can spoil me."

"....."

"Tiara just being next door makes me feel better and tired and happy."

Aquastead's gaze caught on to Tiararose and she smiled a lot.My face becomes red every once in a while.

--That's my dialog.

Tiararose also relaxes his shoulders and leans against the Aqua Steed.

"Two people - Lucia and the three of you - will live well and happily ever after."

"Yeah, we've been together forever."

"... yes"

Looking at Aquastead's slowly approaching face, Tiararose closed her eyes and accepted the kiss.
